My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 18

Vampire (2)

Azantu branch of the vampire clan Brokoslak.

It was the power that actually controlled Azantu City, a small city in the west of the Kingdom of Thalia.

And I became a vampire of that force.

“But I don’t think there is anything else to do…”

After a few days of training, he did not specifically instruct me to do anything.

A system had been in place throughout the city for a long time, so everything ran on its own, and the vampires only had to occasionally check to see if their subordinate organizations were doing the right thing.

‘It’s a long-lived species, so it’s easy-going in everything.’

They probably accepted me in place of the vampire who died this time, but instead of handing over, they just said that I would find out if I did it.

Until special orders are given, you can do whatever you want as long as you don’t expose yourself too much to the city’s humans.

Thanks to this, I was able to go out in the evening and talk more with my siblings, but if I did it too often, I would get caught, so I had to do it in moderation.

‘I guess I have no choice but to draw attention to Hans and escape the city like I first thought.’

At first, I thought it wasn’t a bad idea to be with vampires, but these guys literally treated the humans in the city as livestock.

‘I expected it from the moment the blood was brought to me at the mansion.’

And they were also being careful to control the population in their own way.

Even for me who dislikes blood, they say it’s always like that at first and that I’ll get used to it over time…

‘I guess I can’t stay with these guys for long.’

As someone who wasn’t even mentally tainted by vampires, being with them was just uncomfortable.

It was just a time of patience and waiting for the right time to come.

Pureblood Wirak of Azantu summoned all the vampires.

“What’s happening all of a sudden?”

“Well, it’s rare to get everyone together like this. “How many years has it been?”

About thirty vampires who normally lived scattered throughout the city gathered one by one into the lobby of the mansion.

“Are you the residual blood that inherited new blood this time? “You’re lucky.”

“Tsk, Lord Wirak, what were you thinking when you accepted such a mean thing?…”

People who met me for the first time began to argue with me more often.

It was the typical appearance of an aristocrat who fell into the consciousness of the chosen people.

‘It’s exactly the image I had of a vampire!’

While I was just looking at them curiously, Wirak entered the lobby.

“Hello, Wirak.”

“It has been so intense. “Please just ask me to do anything.”

Vampires flocked to Wirak and farted loudly.

It seemed like the status of purebloods was higher than I thought.

“It looks like we’re all here, so let’s get to the point.”

After receiving the greeting appropriately, Wirak went up the stairs in the lobby and began to speak.

“The fragment of the Immortal King that the Oath of the Reverse Heaven possessed has disappeared.”

Murmuring –

I flinched unconsciously at the sudden words, but fortunately, everyone around me became noisy, so no one looked at me strangely.

“Ah, you don’t know, right? In a small village nearby, warlocks were hiding the fragments and maturing them…”

Rosilica came up next to me and quickly whispered the information I already knew.

“quiet.”

The noisy surroundings became quiet at Wirak’s words.

Rosilica, who was next to me, had already left and was focusing on Werak on the stairs.

“Lastly, I confirmed that it was headed in the direction of this city. But at some point, it disappeared without a trace. “It’s possible he may have entered the city or just passed by.”

Wirak stopped talking and slowly looked around.

Then, when his eyes met mine for a moment, he stared at me for a moment, but then turned his head away.

‘Whew, it’s scary.’

“We are conducting a search considering the possibility that he may have entered the city.”

Wirak ordered them to disperse, telling them to immediately report any suspicious circumstances found in their respective areas.

“What’s happening all of a sudden?”

As I left the lobby, Rosilica grumbled and came next to me.

When I saw him greeting other vampires, he seemed like a popular person, but did he really want to take care of me?

“Hehehe~ Do you want to sell to newbies who haven’t figured out their taste for blood yet? “There’s a muscular guy I’ve got my eye on. How about having a drink together next time?”

“I don’t mind. “I guess that’s not my taste.”

I flatly refused with a disgusted expression.

Rosilica just shrugged her shoulders without any sign of regret.

“But we’re in trouble. The fragments of the Immortal King must have been an issue that the Clan Lord took interest in and ordered directly.”

“okay? But the warlocks must have maintained strict security, so how did they know in advance?”

“Okay~? “For people like us, we just have to do what we’re told.”

It seemed like there would be no more information to be gained from Rosilica.

The moment I thought that, I immediately realized that it was a hasty decision.

“Because of that, we had to move the other fragments that our clan had and seal them here.”

“what…? “There is another fragment of the Immortal King here too?”

I looked at Rosilica in surprise.

“Yes, when they ripen the fragments, they steal them and fuse them together, or something like that. “I don’t know the details~.”

However, Rosilica simply responded by twisting her hair with her fingers as if it was no big deal.

‘Is this guy of higher status than you think?’

When I narrowed my eyes and looked at Rosilica, she smiled and waved her hand.

“Actually, I was also dispatched to Azantu with the fragments a year ago. “There’s no way this small city would need this many vampires in the first place, right?”

After listening to it, it was definitely true.

Three pure-blooded vampires of a similar level to the warlock Malcolm. The remaining blood appears to be over 30 and is clearly stronger than the warlock’s minions.

‘And if you combine the Servants and Slaves that I am not sure about…’

It is definitely too much power to be confined to a small city on the edge of the continent.

“Originally, it is said that only Wirak and about fifteen remaining bloods were in this city, but the reinforcements were increased like this due to the debris. But all the hard work was in vain.”

Rosilica said with a sigh that she would be busy for a while.

And that wasn’t wrong.

***

“Ah, my skin burns when I go outside during the day.”

Rosilica grumbled as she adjusted her parasol.

From the day after the convocation, we had to take turns spreading out throughout the city during the day to check for any abnormalities.

“Definitely… I’m a little reluctant.”

I answered, adjusting my wide-brimmed gentleman’s hat with my gloved hands.

Being exposed to the sun’s rays didn’t cause any particular damage, but the feeling of my strength being limited wasn’t very good.

“I don’t think we’ll be able to discover anything by doing this.”

“It can’t be helped~. Because of this, Pirita, who is pureblood, took some of her remaining blood and started searching outside the city.”

Well, I’ve already swallowed it and sent it to Earth, so there’s no use looking at it like this.

I smiled bitterly and thought to myself, then realized that the situation was not that bad.

‘One pureblood and some remaining blood left the city.’

Wirak searches the entire city and controls the remaining blood.

That means.

‘There is only one pureblood guarding the fragment right now!’

And a day later, Hans was able to be summoned.

‘Just like the original plan, you can create chaos and steal fragments to grow Hans and at the same time give them a big mess! I have to do this no matter what.’

Now all that was left was to figure out the location of the fragment, but Rosilica couldn’t help with this.

“I don’t know~? “After I came to the city, I hid it in a place that only purebloods would know about, just in case.”

This was in case the main base was attacked.

And it is said that two purebloods have continued to guard the place until now.

‘Oh, I guess there’s no way to do this.’

It seemed like things were going well.

It was a time when I wondered if I should give up the other fragments.

“Uh… I think I know where it is?”

There was a way.

“what? “Diana, how can you?!”

“Ouch!”

I was startled and grabbed Diana’s shoulder.

In the early evening, I came over to see my siblings’ faces and while we were having a conversation, it was a word I said without much thought.

Vampires are hiding dangerous items in the city, but I don’t know where they are.

“That’s what I told you last time. “I was avoiding places with vampires and dangerous smells.”

“no way?”

“Yes… About a year ago, I smelled something about vampires giving off a very strong smell of blood, and I don’t know what it was, but it looked extremely dangerous.”

Diana laughed sheepishly, saying that she ran away from the spot as soon as she detected the smell.

“It was such a strong smell that I still remember it. “I haven’t been anywhere near that since.”

“ah! I remember you too, sister! “My sister told me never to go near it!”

Diana stroked Aaron’s head as if he was proud and then glanced at me.

“I will guide you if you need it.”

It was a proposal I had been waiting for, but I couldn’t hastily nod my head.

“are you okay. “If it gets dangerous, you will protect me, right?”

“…Okay then, I’ll just ask you to stay nearby.”

I nodded to Diana, who spoke calmly, and patted her head.

After all, if you do a good deed, it will come back to you somehow.

The next afternoon.

Today again, I put on my hat and went outside to search for fragments of the Immortal King.

‘Of course, the fragment I’m looking for is the one the vampires hid.’

I slowly walked down the street and arrived at the meeting place.

Diana had already come out and was waiting there.

Diana made eye contact with me and started walking down the street without saying a word, and I followed behind her at a reasonable distance.

It was something I instructed in advance.

I don’t know how the vampires might be on guard around the fragments, but I guess I can’t approach them defenselessly.

Diana walked away for a while without focusing her gaze on one place for too long.

‘It’s a long way from where it was originally. ‘You really ran away.’

After smelling that dangerous smell, they probably settled down as far away as possible.

As we entered a certain street, Diana’s sniffing increased.

You can probably feel the smell from here.

How much further did it go like that?

Diana, who was walking naturally, looked at the building on one side.

About 3 seconds.

Then he turned his head and passed by as if it was nothing.

‘There it is!’

A building in an ordinary residential area that cannot be compared to the luxurious mansion where the vampires reside.

Another fragment of the Immortal King was hidden there.

However, like Diana, I walked along leisurely, looking around as if I had no interest in that area.

I can’t feel anything, but there must be something.

‘Now all we have to do is set a date for the performance. I found the location and can summon Hans. ‘As quickly as possible before other variables arise!’

As the sun set, we gathered again at Diana’s residence.

“Whoa, I thought I was suffocating to death. Even if I smell that smell again…”

“You did a good job without showing it. It was really helpful. “Now we have to set an execution date.”

I comforted Diana and after a moment of contemplation, I immediately declared.

“Noon tomorrow. “When the sun rose in the sky.”

I wish I had started right now, but since the sun had already set, I decided to wait until the next day.

‘Both vampires and undead become stronger in the dark, but the degree to which they are weakened by the sun is completely different.’

If you are a pureblood, you cannot expect much of the combat power of the remaining blood.

Even purebloods wouldn’t be able to use their full power.

I planned a plan for tomorrow and prepared my siblings.

“We don’t have any extra luggage to pack. “You can get out at any time.”

“Okay then, tomorrow…”

After giving the siblings warnings, we parted ways and headed to the mansion to look around the city.

The place where Heinz died and Heinz II became a vampire.

I leave this city tomorrow.

‘Of course, I took everything I needed! Now that I think about it, there are a lot of expensive-looking items in the mansion.’

He licked his lips with his tongue and his eyes sparkled.

The more money you have, the better, isn’t it?

I smiled to myself and entered the mansion.

And time goes by.

The sun has risen.
