I Want To Escape From the Vampire’s Blood Bag

29 – duel (1)

Imperial Lachesis Academy’s magic arena.

It is a stadium located in the match hall located north of the academy, and it is said that it was newly built this time.

True to its reputation as an imperial palace, the main arena is large enough to accommodate thousands of spectators and has a variety of structured sparring rooms, so it seems to be used a lot for senior class practice.

Of course, there will be no Charlie in the audience, but I will debut and leave more spectacularly than I thought.

‘Isabella’s ruse. What will the observers think of the outcome…’

It is said that the master-servant magic sparring was the first demonstration event this time, and it was said that there was a loss of life pretending to be an accident here.

‘I do not know.’

Shaking off all my thoughts, I opened the door to the waiting room.

simple food and drink. The dummy target that can warm up the body and the full-length mirror, etc., stood out.

-gulp.

As soon as I came in, I started drinking. Vegetarian is goodbye from today.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

“Lee Ha-yu…”

…Pervert Harold. He had a sullen expression on his face, unlike the always cheerful one.

I’m not feeling well. I don’t want to get involved

“I have some request.”

“Because I’m not in a situation where I’m being asked to.”

What an outrageous request. It’s too much for me to live and eat.

“Theta. Theta is weird.”

“?”

“Please. If Theta wants to do nonsense, save her!”

Like a hot-blooded character from a boy’s cartoon, he bowed his head and asked me.

‘What a crazy sound.’

Rather, I am the one who has to ask for help. But who saves whom?

“I’m sorry, but what kind of floating noise is that…?”

“Theta’s condition is different from usual! The study bug canceled his class yesterday!”

“That’s because it’s a duel today…”

Could it have been dueling practice?

“I have no idea what he’s thinking lately. Usually, when I made a dirty joke, it was normal for him to punch me. The day before yesterday, I just looked at you with sad eyes!”

“Uh… Maybe I’m just tired of you.”

“No. definitely different! Not the theta I know!”

As I sat down on a chair in the waiting room as if I wasn’t interested, Harold somehow followed me.

“Isn’t it forbidden to enter here except for those involved?”

Harold made a proposal in a serious voice.

“Then let’s make a deal.”

“deal?”

“Because I will tell you Isabella’s secret. Help me, no, theta, please!”

According to Isabella, a tradesman, in silk trading, the hand drawn is the right one only when both sides are equal.

However, I am in a position where I have to disassociate myself from my family, and it is reasonable to say that it is beyond my ability to save Seta and run away.

“sorry. As you can see, I am a single servant. Ask your master, Isabella.”

Harold whispered while clinging to me as if pulling my sleeves.

“Isabella, Isabella is trying to do something in this duel!”

Is that…

How Harold knows this is a bit mindful, but it’s information I already know.

And Isabella told me many times to believe in myself.

Of course, I need to check whether I completely trust Isabella, whether she is trying to seduce me, or whether she is hostile.

“therefore?”

“What?! Are you saying there’s no problem? Your duel is unfair… Whoops.”

-bang!

The voice is loud. I closed the door and covered his mouth.

“Harold. Please answer my question first.”

Harold nodded as if he understood.

“Was it your intention to drag me into a duel?”

“That…that. Sorry.”

My heart sinks a little. Was it really meant to be?

Should I thank this kid or not?

“Then what are you from Isabella? What is your relationship?”

“just. I am just a servant.”

Isabella said that Seta was her servant.

“What about Theta?”

“It’s complicated to explain! Anyway… I told you so save Theta. He seems to have no attachments to the world, like someone who will soon die!”

I’m sorry, but I don’t have any helpful information.

“If you were Isabella’s servant, you would understand. I am nothing compared to your master.”

“Lee Ha-yu! please! please!! There is only you! If Seta shows signs of strangeness in the duel…”

now get down to your knees

“Then tell me everything you know. There is something more.”

Harold flinched as if he was taken aback.

“I-I heard you. By drawing you into a duel, something…between the Empire and the demons.”

“Between the Empire and the demons?”

“I’m…”

– Knocked up.

As he was about to say something, Lane entered, dressed in a cadet uniform and with her hair neatly tied.

“?”

‘this.’

“Anyway, you know how I feel?!”

Harold ran away leaving only an expression of trust in me.

‘driving me crazy.’

It feels like things are getting messed up.

* * *

Since then, it has been a fast-forward affair.

The die was cast, and not a large number of spectators gathered.

Among the officials of the academy, those who seemed to be high-ranking sat in the upper floor, in the upper room, behind a transparent wall.

-……

And I’m facing Isabella and Theta with Lane.

Before the start of the duel, a voice amplified by magical power reverberated throughout the arena.

– Hosted by the Imperial Lachesis Academy, the Ministry of Magic will begin the duel. Please note that this match is a demonstration event and the rules may change.

“Didn’t you run away? Please take good care of me!”

Isabella’s ensuing provocation. There are only people who disturb the whole mind.

she was laughing There is a slight difference from the smile you showed when you were alone with me.

-Before the duel, both sides must put on a dueling ring, which is a protective object. The ring test was conducted by former Professor Dame Patrick.

Rings in a small jewelry box were given to us in turn.

“…!”

Lane’s expression deteriorates rapidly.

As advised by Iris, he played with the ring.

‘…Is it silver.’

I don’t know at all from the outside, but it’s clear that it’s a ring made of molten silver.

Isabella’s personality probably won’t even be ordinary silver. It must be a specially made ring quenched with holy water in a monastery or sanctuary.

It is bound to be lethal to a vampire.

“……♫♩”

Isabella was making excuses. ‘Formally’, it’s a ring prepared by Dame.

-Sue.

However, Lane put on the ring with a relaxed expression.

“!!”

obviously acting In order to win the duel, he was overdoing it.

-If both sides are ready, there will be a sorceress from the observer, Dame Patrick.

And savagely, a signal fell that would decide our fate.

Dame steps forward and memorizes the sorceress.

It seems that the duel of the knights was influenced by memorizing the chivalry and proceeding with the duel.

Cheers are heard from the crowd in the distance.

– Wow!

-Arain lady!

After coming from this academy, what I’ve been sick of seeing is that Rain is extremely popular with the male students.

He may have good looks, but his academics are excellent, and his personality seems to be a classy aristocrat.

– Isabella! Go for it!

-Show the Demons a Jailbreak!

And the rest are fans of Isabella. It must be a patriotic bet since it is a fight against the demons.

And there was no one cheering for the servants. Even if there is, it’s a bit hard to shout directly.

-Hayu-nim, cheer up!

“…”

It’s called the cocktail effect. For some reason, it seems that Floria’s voice is heard through the crowd.

-chuck!

After the sorceress door, Dame made a hand gesture to start a duel.

“Then, let’s begin.”

.

.

.

-Wow!

-……

The duel has begun.

But unlike the crowd, there was only silence between us.

Is there such a thing? In a fight between masters, it is said that they compete for sum just by turning round and round while looking at each other.

‘Let’s look at it for now.’

He cares about Harold’s words and cares about Isabella’s intentions.

So, in the beginning, it’s a bystander mode.

‘I’m going to start.’

From a distance, Isabella began chanting her magic first.

If you look at the current flowing, it’s about 4 circles of lightning magic.

-Pajijik!

The thrilling sight of the stems descended from somewhere in the ceiling and were connected to the tip of her wand.

-Pajijijik!

The sky-blue stems bouncing like Isabella, flashing every moment, threatened us as if we were going to make an electric grill at any moment.

– Kwajijijijik!

And when a certain amount of mana was gathered, the tip of the staff headed straight for Rain.

-Pajijijijik!

-bang!!!!!!

A cool sound like hitting a steel plate with an aluminum bat.

As if Rain had anticipated this situation, he had already deployed a defensive magic circle.

– Wow!

The audience is thrilled even with just one match.

In particular, Lane even brought a cane that she didn’t normally use.

I could see how serious he was in this duel.

“……”

The battle started like that, but Seta didn’t show any movement.

I just stare blankly ahead.

When a master vs. an ordinary master, isn’t there a composition where servants stick to each other?

-Save Theta!

‘What is it…’

She’s usually taciturn, but as Harold said, there definitely seems to be something a little strange about her.

“It is also the basics. Arain.”

“…after.”

Despite Isabella’s continued provocation, Lane is unfazed.

Unlike that night that seemed anxious, he looked more serious than ever.

“I was always curious. I wonder how much the vampire’s magic skills will be… I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

Perhaps it was the influence of Mrs. Izanac, Isabella also seemed to be very interested in demons.

Although it feels a bit twisted.

“How many times can I stop? There were only two ogre wizards I raised!”

-Pajijijik!

This time, red current flows. The purity of magic was different from before, and it fluctuated.

It could no longer be seen as the magic of the lower circles.

“…!”

As a result, Rain also built a more detailed magic defense as if he was nervous.

-Pajijijik!!!!!!!!!!

-bang!!!!

It must have been half a beat faster, so Lane’s new model bounced backwards.

-oooh!

-I’m serious? Adopt an official sport!

Everyone cheers, probably because it was fun that could not be seen in the duel of knights.

If he was hit with that level of power properly, he would surely die as long as he had a human body.

“Hee hee!”

-Pajijijik!

Isabella, with an expression of fun, unfolded the magic without giving a chance.

And the shock that followed.

-bang!!!!

“Kuhhhh…! hahahaha.”

It’s less than before, but Lane takes another step back.

“There is a saying that it is a flower in a greenhouse. Arain?”

“Well… I have no intention of losing.”

“Well! very good! Keep that heart as it is and don’t surrender.”

– What are you doing! attack!

– That’s it!! Are you a demon?

– Miss Arain!

Boos and cheers pour in from the crowd.

“Haa…haaa…”

I could see that Lane was already struggling.

In contrast, Isabella was smiling as if it was just the beginning.

“Even the difference in rings is a bit strange.”

Even if Rain was weakened, even Isabella would have to struggle a little if she used this level of magic several times.

Because she is not a vampire who was born with magical powers, but a human.

‘for a moment.’

At that time, I remembered what Eliana had advised me.

-Isabella uses objects to cast magic…

It was clearly said to use objects.

However, the girl in front of me still uses her staff to open her magic honestly.

‘…no way?’

I hurriedly shifted my gaze to Theta.

“!!”

“Keep.”

Theta’s movement feels unnatural.

She groaned lightly, clutching one of her shoulders as if in pain.

Isabella’s object…is her servant?

[equivalent exchange]

[Use as much as 23!]

[Strength increases by 69%]

[Remaining Blood: 120]

I approached Theta with quick movements.

– Shik.

-Pak! Papapat!

As I approach, she naturally starts fighting back.

proficient martial arts. Our fistfight began.

-Oh oh!

Whether we know our heart or not, cheers erupt around us.

-Papat!

I could see it for a moment when Theta dodged my attack and raised her hand.

“!!”

There were many ornaments on her hands and arms.

“…!!”

Seta seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but then he lowered his sleeve to hide it.

‘As expected, I’m not the only consumable.’

– Shiiik!

-Pak!

Her kick pierces my side. I also block by guarding.

She immediately turns around and casts a back kick.

-Pak!

Excessive, unrestrained movement.

Irregular movements that do not consider body structure or rhythm.

This is not her will.

It is being forced by objects.

At this rate, Seta’s body was bound to suffer.

I punched out and asked so only she could hear.

“…are you thinking of dying?”

“……”

– Whoosh!

Theta remains silent while dodging the attack.

She is currently offering her life force to Isabella in real time.

‘why?!’

“Great!”

Then Seta let out a big moan and frowned.

– Hwaaak!

A bright light emerges from Isabella’s side.

She looks at me with a smile on her face and shouts.

“Do not disturb!!!”

-Kwajijijijijik!

A sphere of electric current so huge that it would be embarrassing to call it a Lightning Arrow.

The huge circle that emits brighter light than expected continues to absorb mana around it.

– Chijit! Chijik!

And soon, the flow becomes stable, and the cross section becomes smooth.

It was even as beautiful as a bright planet.

“?!”

And Isabella’s mouth moves slowly.

-die.

– Chijijijik!

“Lee Ha-yu..!”

In line with this, this huge ball of light flies as if to swallow me.

The surroundings are bright.

– Chijijijijik!

fuck.
