Chapter 59

Chapter 59 – Territory of the Black God (6)

A severed head rises into the air. And soon, it fell to the ground and rolled around. An airy groan escaped from between sharp fangs.

“Turn off, turn off......”

The body of the owner, Durald, slowly knelt down. Karnak, who was watching, smiled.

[Serati also had a good sense, right? She made good use of the situation.]

[Although it’s also because the other person acted foolishly.]

Durald’s judgment was too sloppy. If he had become a vampire and transcended regenerative powers, he should have moved more reliably. Serati’s arm should have been completely cut off, regardless of whether his throat was cut or not.

[If that was the case, the whole head would not have been cut off.]

It must have stopped in a half-cut state, and it could be restored with the vampire’s regenerative power.

[Or give up your arms from the beginning, like when you were a human, and protect your neck.]

They would have both retreated without much damage if that were the case.

[You should have made it clear whether you act like a human or a vampire.]

[It’s been a while since I became a vampire, so that’s possible.]

After Durald fell, the fate of the other vampires did not last long. Although they struggled like a fanatic, in the end, they sprinkled blood on the ground one by one.

“Aaah!”

“Aaaagh!”

As soon as the last one was decapitated, Alice rushed to Serati.

“I’ll take care of your injuries first, Miss Serati!”

The wound on her arm was deep but not to the point of requiring amputation. As Alice’s healing technique unfolded, the wound soon healed, and the pain subsided. Of course, it would take more time to be cured, but it was beyond the level that it would interfere with movement.

After moving her arm, Serati thanked her.

“Thank you, Priest Alice.”

“We’re rather grateful. If only we had come, we would have been harmed.”

Really, if only the three of them had come, they would have become ghosts in the wilderness. Because they never imagined that such a powerful vampire would exist.

Tarman moved with a stiff face. Durald, with only his head remaining, was still groaning silently.

“Ugh, uh uh.....?”

He had no lungs, so he couldn’t even make a sound, and even then, he couldn’t even die. The power of darkness was still keeping him alive.

“Not yet. I’m not dead yet!”

Tarman stretched out his hand, drawing out his normal magic.

“Yes, he is not dead.”

A flash of white light hit Durald’s head directly.

“I’m not dead, though.”

An intense chill threw the severed head away into ashes.

“With this, we have secured evidence of the Count’s crimes.”

Tarman smiled eerily as he lifted his head into the air with his telekinesis magic.

“Please contact headquarters, Miss Alice. All preparations to punish the Vreeland family have been completed.”

“Yes, chief.”

Three days after the battle to the death, Count Vreeland just past noon. A group of about 100 armed men surrounded the castle and were conducting a massacre.

“Catch them all!”

“Don’t miss a single one!”

Heavily armed soldiers roam the castle. And those who attacked were punished mercilessly. Servants died.

“Aagh!”

Even the maids died.

“Aagh!”

There was no hesitation in the hands of the soldiers. The servants and maids who attacked were by no means ordinary human beings. They all show more than human movements with their fangs exposed and their red eyes full of menacing voices glistening. Under the darkness of the castle covered by thick curtains, they sneaked around and swung their sharp claws at the soldiers.

“Kyaaaaa!”

“Kyaaaaaagh!”

Even so, it was the width of the vampires who fell. Although not as strong as the King’s Order, the soldiers were also elite soldiers with solid bones in battle. The number was much larger, and it was broad daylight.

“In the name of the goddess!”

“Punish the evil one!”

“Ah?”

It was so easy to kill that he couldn’t even feel the reality for a moment.

Serati, staggered, stuttered.

“No, that, that easily......”

“Why? Did he have something to do? If you have any questions, ask the young master. Will you use necromancy to find out?”

“It’s not like that.”

She sighed. She thought they had become quite close, but when they encounter situations like this, they get a keen sense of what kind of people they were.

“It’s just that I feel like a villain.”

The two abnormal guys tilted their heads in front of a common sense reaction.

“Eh? Is that so?”

“Aren’t we doing good, Barros?”

“I thought so too.”

Serati didn’t bother asking further.

“No, good work.”

“Isn’t it? Surprised. I thought you didn’t act like a human again.”

Relieved Karnak pointed his finger at the decapitated corpse.

“Burn them all.”

Roaring!

Three bodies were engulfed in flames in an instant. The sight of human figures burning was truly terrifying. Terrified, Serati shouted.

“Now, wait! Why are you burning the body?”

Karnak replied calmly.

“If left alone, the darkness of the end they possess must be returned to the Church, right? We must erase the traces.”

This time, even Barros was puzzled.

“Did you mean to say that you couldn’t find them from the beginning and take care of all the darkness of the end?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

So far, Karnak had not been very greedy for the darkness of the end. What he wanted was the information contained within it, but the authority itself was passed on to the church without any regrets. It was obvious that he had to raise his commanding power anyway.

Because to live like a human, it was best to develop pure chaos magic. However, as before, he began to be greedy for command power. Barros stopped Karnak , he still wanted to know why he was doing it.

“Young master? We promised to live like human beings, didn’t we?”

“I don’t even want to go back to being a skull bowl.......”

Pulling out all the darkness of the end, Karnak hardened his complexion.

“That’s why I couldn’t even save myself while building up my strength. The situation was serious.”

Serati blinked.

“Serious?”

Of course, she admitted that the current situation was serious. The darkness of the end was polluting the continent, an unknown cult was growing in power, and above all, an unknown being called Tesnarak had appeared. However, this was a fact she already knew, and it was after Karnak made the decision to move accordingly. But suddenly his attitude changed.

“Has something seriously wrong happened?”

“Yeah. Because of that guy named Durald.”

Nodding his head, Karnak closed all the darkness.

“A guy called Straf is also a problem.”

The expressions of Barros and Serati grew even more suspicious.

“Straf, though......”

“Durald?”

“That bastard, you didn’t count that much, did you, young master?”

“I struggled a bit, but it was at a level I could handle.”

Karnak sighed.

“They don’t matter.”

“Sure?”

He turned away since the work here was taken care of, they had to join Tarman’s party. As he moved his steps, Karnak muttered quietly.

“The real problem is how they came to be.......”
