8 – #02. Jinjo Vampire (3)

Jinjo Neira.

Her powers were once widely known throughout the continent.

A woman who single-handedly fought against the empire.

The race of vampires was vaguely divided into subhumans and demons, but to put it mildly, it was a unique force that was close to demons but opposed to them, and actually opposed to humans.

As the head of such vampires, he is one of the strongest on the continent with a history of defeating the empire’s most elite forces single-handedly.

“I’ll take care of this, so run anywhere.”

Mea was also powerful enough to be called a hero, but if I asked if she was strong enough to defeat the True Vampire, I would firmly shake her head.

“You are dangerous alone.”

“Then shall I fight with you next to me? Don’t be crazy.”

She clearly said that I was a stumbling block.

In the fight between beings that have reached the realm of transcendence, I knew that I would have no choice but to become an obstacle, but I did not want Mea to sacrifice for just me.

“I could die.”

“Me? Do not be ridiculous. I have no intention of losing to such an old man, so don’t even look back and just run away.”

That’s what I said, but it didn’t make sense that Neira was a retired person.

It has been less than 10 years since the elite of the empire and its heroes were destroyed. There was no way that the true ancestor vampire, who was said to enjoy eternity, would collapse after only seven or eight years.

“Live. As long as I live, I will regret it until the end.”

“…… You.”

“That is my punishment for you.”

After that, Mea kicked the bag containing her weapon and scattered it all over her room.

“So go.”

“…… Sorry.”

“If you’re sorry, do better in the future.”

If I could live here, I would definitely do it.

The last time she said that, she turned her back and ran to Lenny’s room.

I couldn’t see her expression behind her.

I don’t know what kind of feelings she had when she said that, what the hell was she thinking while protecting me that she hated so much.

I didn’t know anything, I just ran forward.

* * *

Neira ripped open the door at the noise coming from inside.

“Please excuse me for replying too late.”

What she caught in her field of vision were weapons strewn throughout the room and Mea standing in the middle.

In response, Neria looked around, but she couldn’t feel Seo’s presence at all.

“…… What do you think of this again?”

“That means I can’t let him die just yet.”

Mea drew the corners of her mouth as she aimed her daggers in her hands.

Less Jinjo Vampires.

I never thought of it as an easy opponent, and I understood that if I made the slightest mistake, I would die.

“Do you think you can beat me?”

“I don’t know. Because I’ve never fought with you before.”

This is a lie.

Actually, Mea herself knew.

Her true ancestor’s power was just as strong. How powerful she is, even the Empress of the Empire, who lives and dies on her arrogance, would have stepped back.

“I am willing to save you if you run away now.”

“If you were going to kill someone you love, would you just run away?”

“…… You can’t do that.”

Same as that answer.

Mea had no intention of stepping down from this position.

I hoped that Seo would be alive.

No matter how much he regrets her existence, her meeting.

He was happy just for being alive, and even if he couldn’t make love, he was just happy to be by his side.

Happiness?

That is also a lie.

Actually, being with him was just painful.

He had to spit out hatred that didn’t exist in order to constantly provoke him, and having to dig into his chest was painful beyond imagination even for Mea herself.

But he wants it.

If everyone in the world affirms and loves his existence, it looks like he will collapse because he can’t overcome the guilt he gave himself.

“There is no change in the thought of killing.”

“…… Yes. Unfortunately, I wish him dead.”

“Really?”

The conversation ends here.

Mea stamped his foot hard.

At the same time, several of her weapons near her rose slightly from the impact, and she immediately kicked them all with her instep.

Blessed weapon of the temple.

For vampires, the s*x law itself is extremely compatible, but if you become a true vampire, you probably won’t die at that level.

So, without even watching the attack follow, she reversed her dagger and lowered her torso to quickly run forward.

“Gee, it looks like you’re serious.”

The dark red magic in Neira’s hand collides with her sword.

That alone was enough to shake the cabin.

But Mea didn’t stop there and continued her attack after attack, and Neira smiled lightly as she struck it off with all her hands.

“I’m so glad you’re doing this for him.”

It cannot be reached with standard attacks.

True Ancestor’s visual acuity and reaction speed were different even in the same transcendence realm, and no matter how fast Mea’s attack was, there was no way it couldn’t catch up.

Now we need an irregular offensive.

She threw the daggers in her hands at Neira’s throat.

“Only?”

But that didn’t work for Jinjo either.

Rather than being taken aback by the sight of Mea brushing it off casually, she quickly stepped back. She knew that such an attack would be blocked anyway, and she hoped shortly thereafter.

“I should have been a little more careful.”

As soon as she finished her words, the two daggers emitted a white halo of light and exploded.

The aftermath was such that the entire small cabin of Seo was blown away, and I wondered if this would have worked.

“This is a bit of a surprise.”

“…… I was even more surprised, you crazy b*tch.”

It was a dagger full of spells.

Even Mea herself, who is not her demon, could be blown away by that explosion alone, but is it possible for the true ancestor vampire, who is said to be at the peak among the demons, to stand up unscathed?

“Is this the end of the residual talent?”

It was a fleeting battle, but the difference between her skills was clearly revealed.

A true ancestor vampire who stands up without any damage to the s*x law.

If even the s*x method, which is one of the weakest points for vampires, was weak, there would be no way to do it, but instead of getting frustrated, Mea smiled and raised her head.

“If it is a residual skill, it is still widespread.”

She stretched out her hand and pointed at the weapons scattered around.

“…… Really, you’re persistent.”

There are various types of weapons scattered everywhere.

The number was a little short because they were in a hurry, but all of them were weapons that were full of holy magic like the dagger from earlier.

“Can’t you just step back? There is not much time left.”

“Why are you acting so impatiently?”

Mea grabbed any of the weapons lying around.

A mace in one hand. A sword in the other hand.

She was openly called the Queen of the Night Street, but as a hero she was given a name with a completely different meaning.

Weapon Master.

She handles all of her weapons as if she were her own, and her unique fighting style, which does not depend on her weapon in battle, has led her to be called the master of her weapon skills by many.

That’s why this place, where weapons are strewn about, is her battlefield.

“…… I really hate long fights.”

“Don’t worry. Because I have no intention of doing that.”

Responding harshly to Neira’s words, he took a step.

Mea glanced at the location of the weapons scattered nearby in the aftermath of the explosion and raised her mace with a smile.

“As I said before, just get out of here.”

“The joke is true.”

Fighting was unavoidable as long as their goals intersect.

Mea prepared for her battle by alternately grabbing various weapons, and Neira smiled as she raised the sword red magic power to the fullest in her hands.

Take a breath and take another step.

Eventually, she ran forward, facing the True Vampire.

* * *

I hugged Lenny and ran straight through the back door of the cabin and down the mountain road.

I was out of breath, but I couldn’t make Mea’s determination meaningless any more than that.

She ran and ran and ran for a long time.

She felt it was a long time, but she had no idea how much time had passed. She heard an explosion behind her back in her jar, so she just hoped that she was safe.

The car tried to take another step forward, forcibly swallowing her breath.

“Uncle.”

“Sorry. A little now…….”

“What happened?”

She couldn’t answer the girl’s words.

I don’t know how to explain it, and I didn’t have time for more than that. I don’t know if I’m alone, but the thought of this delicate girl being caught up in the aftermath of that battle gave me goosebumps.

“I have a bit of a headache.”

Feeling that my prayers were bitter, I forced myself to run down the mountain path.

No matter how light Lenny is, running through a rough mountain road with a girl in her arms consumes more of her stamina than she thought.

Even though she was running with all her strength, she began to feel that her stamina was gradually slowing down.

“…… Mister.”

Lenny grabbed the dresser by her chest with her trembling hands.

“It’s okay though. Because everything is fine.”

“That’s a lie… , Are you.”

The girl shook her head and buried her face.

“I’m sorry. I, I overheard you talking to that sister.”

She bit her lip at those words.

“He said he would entrust me to that sister.”

“…… It did.”

“Am I dying… ?”

It was not a matter to be decided voluntarily.

For some reason, Neira’s hand was aiming for her life. And if she can get away from the vampires she’s in charge, she won’t die, but to be honest with her, I put the odds very low myself.

But how do I say this to this little girl?

How can I tell you that I will die soon.

“I won’t die.”

“…… It’s not a lie, is it?”

I don’t know. First of all, I’m not sure.

Like this dark mountain road, my future was a darkness full of uncertainty and anomaly.

My existence is just a traveler stumbling through the darkness.

“Don’t die.”

“I will.”

“…… I don’t know if I can say this, but I don’t know if I deserve it. Still, I hope you don’t die.”

I’m not a nice enough person to hear that.

I wanted to explain that an innocent child like you isn’t a good enough person to send unconditional favors, but I couldn’t help myself.

So I couldn’t answer, so I just moved little by little along the mountain path and hugged the girl tightly.

Lenny’s body was small and warm.

Maybe she was greedy for taking care of this child. Maybe she just got caught up in my greed of looking for a woman who didn’t fall for me and could talk normally.

“…… I’m an uncle….”

When my clothes were pulled a little.

“I finally found it.”

A pale-skinned man appeared in front of us.

“Vampire.”

“He is waiting for you.”

He stretched out his hand in a blunt manner.
