Victor thinks they just need to wait for dawn, protected by Kia's shield. He was wrong.

The emir whistled and gave the signal to attack. A cloaked, scythe-wielding vampire Grim Reaper passes through the shield as if it didn't exist.

Death's Scythe [Shield of Light]!

Of course, vampire assassins will have a kind of Pe that bypasses supernatural barriers

k…… Kia immediately acts to intercept the intruder, but he grabs some kind of pendant and utters words of magic. The shield of light collapsed, and everything darkened again.

The darkness was so deep that Victor could barely see a few feet away, at least until Kia formed a miniature sun with her empty hands. aste

Partially illuminating their surroundings, dozens of vampire assassins rushed towards them with sharp blades. He could see Allison beside him, but not the rest of his troops, though he could hear them fighting in the dark.

Of course, Kia didn't let the enemy pass and effortlessly cut down one, two, three thieves. She didn't even bother to hide from the attack, even though they used poisoned weapons; Their blades bounced off her armor without dealing damage. At the same time, a vampire can be reduced to ashes with just one stroke from the Shining Knight.

It's like watching the kids try to bring down Muhammad Ali. A hilarious, one-sided massacre.

But this distracts her and allows the other thieves to rush towards their real target: Victor himself. His sharp reflexes allow him to dodge the vampire's blades and retaliate with a scythe, slicing the attacker in half.

Whack! It's a one-hit knockout!

His weapon absorbs the souls of vampires, which tells the Chancellor that either his Helheim defeats the effects of the Soul Trap or it spares the enemy's thieves. This also gives him enough time to activate his buff.

You gain +4 check bonus to [Undead].

+100 temporary health.

Increases the chance to inflict [Terror] by 20%.

Your scythe will now inflict [Poison] sickness!

You've got [Reply] status!

He briefly considered summoning his ace and [Black Knight], but it would undoubtedly cause the edifice to collapse inside everyone.

Emile Ravi, the assassin he fought in the Winter Kingdom, emerged from the darkness and outflanked him from the side with a silver sword. He almost hit the chest, but pierced the armor through a gap.

You take moderate damage! Manslaughter by [evolutionist]! I

STA-DEATH is [Monster Life Force (Red Dragon)]!

"Immortal? The vampire roared, furious that his attack had been countered. "How can you be considered immortal?"

Victor retaliates against the killer with a black fireball, but he dodges it. Somewhere, the shell exploded, and the whole building shook. The Prime Minister prayed that it would not accidentally hit the kobold ranger or the juvenile, and as long as he had no visibility, he abandoned the attack.

The enemy Reaper soon joined the emir and attempted to decapitate Victor from behind as he fended off the vampire assassins. "Put the undead!" Allison rushes to his aid, knocking the enemy's Grim Reaper against the wall and stopping the emir. "Vic, get behind me!"

"Okay, I'll take Marinette with me!" Victor said, his empty hand groping in the darkness as Allison protected him.

"Marinette?!" Allison asked, and then a group of ghosts forced her to focus on the fight. "Put the undead! Put it to death!"

"My bazooka!" Victor replied, grabbing the rocket launcher with his other hand and brandishing his scythe with the other.

"You named it?" Constantly repelling the undead didn't stop Allison from complaining. "Vic, you can't solve all the problems with a bazooka!"

"Why not?" Truth be told, he can't use it in the dark without risking being accidentally injured by allies, but it contributes to the intimidation factor. "Run away in front of Marinette!" Dread Knight!"

With these words, the Reaper glanced at the weapon in horror before sliding back into the shadows. However, the ghosts that harass Allison ignore him.

The enemy's strength and charisma are reduced by one level!

The Reaper's Scythe is now [Feared]! [Terror] didn't affect the Dark Elves and Emile Lavel!

"It's not an escape this time, is it?" The Grand Chancellor taunted the Assassin, who took a duel pose with his sword.

"I'm more afraid of Mother Lucy than you," he replied, and cast a spell on himself. "[Support] is dead."

Allison tried to turn against him again, but this time, the Assassin ignored her. He complains to Victor with murderous thoughts.

The Prime Minister raises his scythe to kill the vampire, but the bastard bypasses Alison and leaves her in Victor's way. The Chief of Staff halted the attack before he could slash his friend, but this gave Emile a chance. The Assassin raised his sword and aimed it at his throat.

Then a blue jelly jumped out of the darkness and hit him in the eye.

"My eyes! The vampire assassin screamed in pain and surprise, and Jelly jumped around with joy.

"Eyes!" Bass Jelly chirped, as if she thought the word was funny. "Eyeball!"

"I can't see......" Emir put his hand on the injured eye, not seeing the shiny fangs on his left. I can't see—"

CHOMP !

Ju

io

Biting Emile's torso, the mimic bites the vampire like a cat eats mouse.

Oh yes. It's a team fight.

"They thought we were afraid of the dark, but they were wrong!" Victor shouted, and James Jr. swallowed the vampire whole...... The emir escaped from its mouth in the form of a mist. "They use the cover of darkness to hide from us! Because we're hoarders! We're scared!"

"Fear! Jelly repeated. "Fear!"

[Minions of the Rally) Activate! The stats of all followers have been increased by one level!

Victor's statement was echoed by the sound of broken windows. It occurred to him that the infidels guarding his home must have clashed with the other attackers.

"Sir!" Victor heard Red's voice somewhere to his left. Focused, he discerned the shape of his ally in the darkness, next to Pinker's. "Here, get out of the window!"

"[Monster Insight]," Victor replied.

Shadowma

-

Without warning, he sliced both of them open with a scythe, and their bodies disappeared into the shadows, much to his annoyance. "How many doppelgangers do they have?"

"What kind of doppelganger?" Vizier turned around to find Kia rushing to his side, killing all the stupid people who dared to attack her.

"Deceit!"

The Flash Knight cursed. "That's the worst!" They can duplicate a health point at will. Unless we kill the Ancestors, more will come. ”

"Laverry is in my basement, we have to kill her, or these attacks will never end!"

"I'll take care of her," said the paladin, "after we evacuate you." ”

Victor guesses she, like everyone else, hates escort missions. "I'm sorry to get you involved!" He apologized, she guided him, and Allison summoned thorns to protect their ass. He barely dodged a poisoned arrow aimed at his head and turned another direction with his scythe.

"Are you kidding? I'm so happy! There is a big war...... She said as she blocked a cannonball with her sword, a happy smile on her face. "I didn't miss it!"

Skill check successful!

Victor sensed something on his left, and he jumped backwards, the shadows on the wall reaching out with their claws, trying to grab him. A terrible, terrible undead emerged from the middle of the wall and roared at him.

Mu

defe

Wall Ghoul (Man-Made/Undead)

Resistant to physical attacks, all status diseases, necromancy, earth and evil.

Weaker than the artist, the death killer, the sacred.

A malevolent basement dweller walks through the walls of a haunted mansion (your) to ambush its prey (you). It can drag the caught person to another part of the building. Beneath its ferocious exterior, it is a very shy creature that searches for love.

Did they turn his house into a death trap?

The monster let out a terrible scream and tried to grab Victor, but the whip grabbed its claws. The kobold ranger emerges from the darkness and drags the monster out of the wall with all his might, allowing Red to punch it hard. "We've got your back, boss!"

"Vic, here! windows!" Kia called him. She raised her sword and fended off a blow from the enemy Reaper, who had returned for the second turn, locking her in place. Victor rushed to help her, but then felt the cold hand grab his ankle.

He suddenly realized that Nightblade had brought more than one wall-monster.

Before he could react, another horrible creature dragged him across the floor as if it were water. In the blink of an eye, he landed in a catacomb, and the monster on the wall hung above him.

Victor raised the bazooka and pulled the trigger.

The resulting explosion shattered the monster to pieces, as well as part of the ceiling, and knocked Victor back a full five meters. Faced with a pile of rubble, the prime minister quickly stood up.

"This thing is amazing," the adventurer muttered, stroking his bazooka with religious awe.

But it has only one projectile.

So he threw it away, leaving only the scythe, and ran as fast as he could through the dark underground corridors. Just then, Victor hears the melody of a bagpiper echoing among them; Although he knew he should run as far as possible, the Prime Minister decided to take out Laville before she launched another attack.

The corridor eventually led him to a larger catacomb, which, unlike the manor above, had some magical light sources. Bright lanterns blocked the darkness and illuminated the coffins of dozens of Nightblade Knights, as well as a table in the middle. He quickly discerned the figures around him in the darkness. Savou

Euse, a strange human bagpiper, and......

“Chocolati

e ?” Vic's eyes widened and he saw closer.

"Oh, hi, Vic!" Savou

Euse greeted him. Victor noticed a pile of biscuits and cheese on the table, and some half-drunk good wine next to it.

"Oh, hi, Vic!" The werewolf repeated, waving at him. "What's going on up there?" Is there a party?"

Victor looked at her, then at Sourusse, who shrugged, and then at the chocolate.

…… No. It must be the doppelganger. He used [Monster Insight] on her to be sure.

Chocolati

e

Werewolf (Humanoid/Beast)

Powerful anti-moon, beast, madness and fairy effects.

Weak against silver, kill, and beast killer effects.

Your girlfriend, like it or not. She drowned herself in Savou

Euse's delicious meat crackers, forgetting the sadness of his brother's arrest. You won't wonder what they're made of, or rather, who they're made of.

Yes, that's true, albeit with all odds. "You're not a hostage, are you?" Victor asked Chocolate Chocolate as he kept an eye on the others present; Especially the piper.

？??

fomo

。 Damn it. However, somehow, he ignores the adventurers, plays music, and Victor is unable to hit him with a fire bullet without harming his friends.

"Hostages?" Chocolati

e turn to Savou

euse。 "I'm a hostage?"

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you." Said Sauruse, then turned to Victor. "I wanted to tie her up, but I couldn't let such a cute couple break up when she told me how her brother's arrest affected your relationship. So I baked cookies for her. ”

"Poison biscuits?" Victor asked, feeling the scene surreal.

"I would never poison food. People are always like that, but what about food? Only the aristocracy would do that. ”

"You'll have to tell me the secret ingredient, though," Chocolate continued, unaware of the current situation. "Is it a goblin?" Gnolls?"

"It's a secret, my dear," Savou

Euse replied with a cheeky smile. "I don't want to fight you, Vic."

He didn't know either, it was against his better judgment. "We don't have to."

"Definitely. (Dark Fear). ”

A familiar aura of darkness engulfed Victor, and he felt a terrifying sense of vertigo. He lost his strength and vitality and fell to his knees.

HP and SP are reduced to 1!

[Fear] and [Death Phobia] Diseases are eliminated!

[Troll Reply] Activated!

"Like they say, if you want to accomplish something," Lucy Lavelle said as she walked into the eye, holding a screaming black book in her hand and standing beside a humanoid robot made up of solid shadows. "Do it yourself."

Victor is full of hatred for the Assassins who hide in the shadows tonight. She must have waited for her minions to soften him, and then went to kill him like a hyena.

The charm test is successful! Lucy Laveret can't read your mind!

Frightened and sobering up from her drunkenness, Chocolate immediately rushed over to defend her lover and took aim at Laviri. "Put the undead! Put it to death!"

The leader of the Night Blade did not flinch, proving that she was nothing more than her servant. "Psychic remote control". She absentmindedly raised her free hand and used her mental power to throw the chocolate onto the coffin, knocking it unconscious. As Saveris watched the scene with fear in her eyes, the actor stopped playing the flute for a moment, a twisted smirk on his face.

"You should check if your mansion is authentic," Laville taunted Victor, in a good mood to joke with her prey.

"I did! The minister protested, struggling to his feet. "I was going to take the architect to inspect the hidden passages after the workshop, but I didn't have time until the economic crisis hit!"

You've recovered a quarter of your HP!

"Nasty." Ravi said, quickly casting another spell on Victor. [Acceleration A.]

ti-Telepo

t]。 ”

Luck check failed! For the next 24 hours, you can't teleport out again!

Realizing that she could drop his HP to 1 at any time, Victor decided to sacrifice some. "Hell Explosion!"

He unleashed a powerful burst of purple energy on the vampire, sacrificing his life force to enhance its power.

There was a wail from the book in Ravel's hand, and the cover turned into a terrible face. A shield of dark energy bounced around the vampire and her doppelganger allies, protecting them. Taking advantage of her brief distraction, Victor lunged at her, raising his scythe and his shield dispersed. The doppelganger protects his mistress with his body, but she doesn't need any help.

"Fountain of Blood".

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Victor's body was in agony, and a wound opened under his armor. His blood was drained by Raviri's evil spell.

Warning: Health is critical! Your vitality has dropped by three stages!

Congratulations! You learned [Blood Wellsprings] personal welfare!

[Blood Fountain]: Skill, 50 SP. You can do things like using [Vampire's Kiss] Pe

k, expelling blood from each target within 30 feet of you, restoring half of its HP damage and reducing the victim's vitality; Biological immunity without blood.

"Finally, I got a taste of dragon's blood...... "The leader of the Night Blade sucked the blood floating on the surface like champagne......

Then spit it out right away.

"Your blood tastes like shit," Lavili cursed, her hypocritical appearance of sophistication replaced by disgust. "Half human blood, half ...... Chili!"

Victor would have liked to shove more down her throat if he hadn't been forced to use a scythe to avoid falling to the ground. That welfare is really hurtful!

"Kill him," said the piper with sadistic joy, and Savelles glanced at it, not seeing what would happen next.

"It seems that you can change the text at will," Ravel observed as he cast the spell. "I wonder if you're going to turn into a zombie because of the effects of my energy field, or if you're going to die altogether. Let's check it out. ”

"Is that spiritualism class still effective?" Victor said expressionlessly.

"No," replied Ravel, carefully keeping a considerable distance in case he had a final trick. "Broken hearts."

She opened her empty hand, and a ghostly heart took shape in her palm.

"Don't worry, I'll take your place." The doppelganger said, and then copied himself. The faint speck split into two, one in the shape of chocolate and the other in the shape of Victor himself, "more and more." ”

Then there is no way. He didn't want to do it in an enclosed space, but ...... "[Black Knight]," Victor activated his trump card. A vampire may prevent him from teleporting, but that won't stop him from calling for help.

"Call your horse?" LaFli pondered, closing her fingers and pinching the fake heart in her palm. At the mercy of the enemy, she allowed herself a moment of complacency; A fatal mistake. "It's stupid to go against me."

Yes.

But fighting was the business of gladiators.

The Vizier Reaper Assassin used a low-level trick.

"Summoning Vai

queu

!”

Then the entire crypt shook, and the legendary dragon was teleporting to Lavili and her bodyguards in a seated position. His crown smashed against the ceiling above, causing it to crack; The teleportation effect blew dust in all directions, overturning tables and coffins.

"Minions," the dragon muttered, the artificial darkness summoned by the vampire had dissipated. "You'd better have a good reason to summon me in the midst of a golden shower."

Victor knew it was a dirty joke, but it was a loss of his identity.

When Saules couldn't find the right words, the piper's eyes bulged out at the unexpected sight. He silently opened a circular crack in space, and quickly fled without looking back, trembling all over.

Winkel sniffed his chief of staff, unaware that the vampire and doppelganger had been crushed under his royal ass. "Did the bats bleed you?"

"Yes, but Laflet doesn't like it."

"What do you mean she doesn't like it?" How dare she not appreciate the perfect happiness of dragon blood?" Vajker asked angrily. "It only shows that she has no taste at all!" I'm going to eat her cow!"

Victor smirked at where Raville had stood, until he noticed the purple mist slipping out of Winkel and escaping through the tunnel. "No! The Chancellor cursed, and Raville hurried away.

He was the first to shed blood, but judging by the lack of escalation, the war was far from over. Why they decided to attack him when he had a Kia in his house, it was incomprehensible to him.

…

Unless... Unless they want to keep her busy as a secondary goal. Another way to hit Winkel through others. "Your Majesty......"

"Yes, minion?"

"Have you called your niece recently?"
