My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 18

vampire (2)

Azantu branch of the vampire clan, Brokoslak..

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

And I became a vampire of that force..

“But there's nothing else to do than think about it.···.”

After a few days of training, I was not specifically instructed to do anything..

The entire city had already had a system in place for a long time, so everything ran automatically, and vampires only had to occasionally check to see if the organizations under their command were doing the right thing..

‘Because it is a long-lived species, it is easy-going in everything..’

They must have accepted me in place of the vampire who died this time, but instead of handing over, they just said that I would find out as I went along..

Until a special order comes, you can do as you please 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 I had to do it in moderation because if I did it too often, I would get caught..

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

At first, I thought it wasn't a bad idea to be with the 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 that everything happens the first time and that I will get used to it over time.···.

‘After all, I can't stay with these guys for long..’

As someone who wasn't mentally tainted by vampires, it was just uncomfortable to be with them..

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

Azantu's pureblood, Wirak, has summoned all the vampires..

“What's happening all of a sudden??”

“Well, it's rare to get everyone together like this. It's been a few years?”

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, what were you thinking, Wirak, accepting such a mean thing?···.”

People who meet me for the first time often start arguing with me..

It was a 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, Werak entered the lobby..

“Hello, Werak..”

“It has escalated so far. 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..

“I think it's all there, 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 they had, the Vow of Reverse Heaven, has disappeared..”

Murmur—

I flinched unconsciously at the sudden remark, 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.···.”

Before I knew it, Rosilica came next to me and quickly whispered 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 heading towards this city. But at some point, it disappeared without a trace. It's possible he came into the city, or he just passed by..”

Wirak stopped talking and slowly looked around..

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

‘Phew, I'm scared..’

“We begin 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. I wonder if he was trying to take care of me from earlier..

“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??”

“Don't decline. 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 I'm in trouble. The fragments of the Immortal King must have been an issue that the Clan Lord took interest in and ordered directly..”

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

“Well~? People like us 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, the other fragments that our clan had were also moved here and sealed..”

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

I looked at Rosilica in surprise..

“Yeah, when they mature the fragments, they steal them and fuse them together or something. I don't know the details~.”

But Rosilica just responded, 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 needs this many vampires in the first place.?”

After hearing it, it was definitely true..

Three pure-blooded vampires of a similar level to the warlock Malcolm, and over 30 residual bloods that appear to be clearly stronger than the warlock's minions..

‘And if you include 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 fragments. But all the hard work was in vain..”

Rosilica said with a sigh, “I’ll 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 signs of abnormalities..

“Definitely... I'm a bit 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 power being limited wasn't very good..

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

“It can't be helped~. Because of this, Pirita, who is a pureblood, took some of his 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..

After repeating this to myself with a wry smile, I 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 after a day, I was able to summon Hans..

‘As per the original plan, you can cause chaos, steal fragments, grow Hans, and at the same time give them a big treat! I have to do this no matter what.’

Now all that was left was to determine the location of the fragment, and Rosilica couldn't help with that..

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

This is in case the base is attacked..

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

‘Ah, there's no way to do this..’

It seemed like everything was going well.

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

“uh···. Well, I think I know where it is.?”

there was a way.

“what? Diana, how are you??!”

“Wow!”

I was startled and grabbed Diana's shoulder..

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

Vampires are hiding something dangerous in the city, but I don't know where it is..

“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 vampires giving off a very strong smell of blood, and I don't know what it was, but it smelled extremely dangerous..”

Diana laughed sheepishly, saying that she immediately 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 grand and then glanced at me..

“I will guide you if you need it..”

It was an offer I was eagerly waiting for, but I couldn't hastily nod my head..

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

“···Okay, then I'll just ask you to stay nearby..”

I nodded to Diana, who spoke softly, 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 hidden by the vampires..’

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

Diana was already there waiting..

Diana made eye contact with me and started walking down the street without saying a word, and I followed 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 isn't it possible to 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 originally was. You ran really far away..’

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

As we entered a certain street, the frequency with which Diana sniffed increased..

You can probably smell it 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!’

An ordinary residential building that cannot be compared to the luxurious mansion where the vampires reside..

Another fragment of the Immortal King was hidden there..

However, just 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 you have to do is set a date for the event. I found the location, and Hans can be summoned. As soon as possible before other variables arise.!’

As the sun was setting, after some time, we gathered again at Diana's residence..

“Wow, I thought I was suffocating to death. Even if I smell that smell again, it really is···.”

“I did a good job without showing it off. It was really helpful. Now I need to set an execution date..”

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

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

I wish I could start right away, but since the sun had already set, I decided to try the next day..

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

If you're a pureblood, you can't expect much from the remaining blood's combat power..

Even purebloods won't be able to use their full power..

I planned a plan for tomorrow and prepared my siblings..

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

“ok then tomorrow···.”

After telling my brother and sister what to watch out for, we parted ways and headed to the mansion to look around the city..

Where Heinz died and Heinz II became a vampire..

I leave this city tomorrow.

‘Of course, take everything you need! 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 alone and entered the mansion..

And as time goes by.

the sun has risen.
