The moment they leapt out of the chapel, Mortor and the other noble-born Vaht

They used wind-attribute or water-attributethe sunlight that reached their bodies Coht out ater or air wouldtheir own vision, so this was the best they could do

“… Maybe I should have baited Birkyne out during su rather than winter?” Vandalieu wondered

“You worry too ht, their defenses ' Daroak who had becoht-attribute Ghost

He had an overflowing desire to fight, but Gufadgarn was calm

“Incidentally, Vandalieu, what should I do with these people? How about I use ic to ested

Even now, the brainwashed thirty or forty people of the orphanage were clinging onto Vandalieu… although conversation was only possible because e of ten and they weren't speaking a word

But it was almost i out of the chapel, several of them may have suffered bone fractures and dislocations if Vandalieu's spirit for them This may have been fine for Seris and Vestra, as they were Subordinate Vae's head as well, as she didn't appear to be an ordinary human either But it would have risked the lives of the small children like Marsha

“I think we should observe the situation for a little while longer And even if he orders the, we can deal with it here The preparations are already done,” said Vandalieu

As if waiting for hied from the hole in the chapel wall, covered in wind-attribute Mana As expected of a Pure-breed Vampire, his wounds had already fully healed and his attractive appearance was restored, while there were still burn marks on the faces and hands of his subordinates

“Commit suicide!” he ordered

At thatonto Vandalieu all attempted to kill theues off, while Seris and Vestra extended the claws that they hadn't even known they possessed in order to cut their own throats

“… See, for times like this,” said Vandalieu

He used 'Eel-like spirit form enveloped the teeth inside the children'sthemselves

Even with the spirit for, Matthew, Seris and the others let outto carry out Birkyne's co to headbutt each other to break their skulls or suffocate the their faces into the materialized spirit for the command

But Vandalieu's spirit for most of the i to suffocate themselves, the spirit fors to provide artificial ventilation

“Would the 'Death Delay' spell not have been sufficient?” Berkert murmured

“You fool 'Death Delay' only extends the time taken to die; it does not prevent injuries,” said Chipuras

“So, now that things have cootiation I a that you can si's shadow fro no fury despite seeing Chipuras and the others looking so relaxed

But showing no fury did not mean that he was composed

“But haven't you forgotten? This is the slum district in a city whose population is at least thirty thousand people even at a conservative esti fireball appeared in one hand and bright sparks flashed around the other

His confidants also swiftly cast spells in different directions, away froe

“'Giant Boulder Screw!'”

“'Great Blazing Cannon!'”

“'Ice Spear Storm!'”

“'Distortion Wave!'”

A drill-shaped boulder and a wave of flae's thin outer walls to wreak havoc on the area beyond, and a rain of icy spears rained down upon the city space distorted and then returned to its original state, unleashi+ng a destructive shockwave to the surrounding area

“We have a countless nu Rain!'” Birkyne shouted, sending beastscrashi+ng down upon buildings from the sky

Violent explosions echoed out, and smoke rose from all around

Birkyne began laughing uncontrollably with joy at the slaughter of innocent people who knew nothing “How many people died from that, I wonder?! A hundred? Two hundred? But don't worry, there are around thirty thousand of these lowly creatures in this city! Or perhaps it does bother you? The deaths of this city's people that you've done business with and interacted in over the past teeks! If you don't want any more of them to die, then –”

As Birkyne's gaze turned back to Vandalieu, he became speechless

“Phew It's scary when people who normally show a lot of expression come towards you with no expression at all, isn't it?” Vandalieu remarked

“Vandalieu, it is unfortunately difficult for arn

“Both of you are expressionless…” Chipuras pointed out

All of them were perfectly calm

Vandalieu slipped out of hisSeris and the others still inside as they continued trying to commit suicide

“They kind of look like Legion, don't they?” he said, not looking anxious in the slightest

“Y-you bastard! Can you not hear Birkyne-sama's words?! Do you not care about this city's people?!” Mortor said angrily

“… Can you really afford to take that attitude? Do you think that I a in this city? Your house, the red-light district, the Tamers' Guild and Adventurers' Guild, the Couard, the earl's house where you enjoyed your little tea party – I can destroy any of the!” Birkyne shouted

Indeed, Birkyne was a Pure-breed Vampire If he unleashed spells at full power, he could destroy the entire city Each one of his subordinates was also capable of doing the same

This city had several adventurers of C-class and above, and there were also elite knights serving Earl Morksi's family

But even all of the more than small fry to the powerful noble-born Vampires here It was the s a little harder for the Vae

“And you, on the other hand? You can't use your full strength in the middle of the city, can you?! Even if you defeat less if the city were to becoive you reat De that loves the people!” Birkyne shouted with a h

But that laughter was cut short

The next words he had intended to say were 'If you understand the situation, obey me' But before he did, he suddenly realized that he could not hear the things that he should have been hearing

He couldn't hear any people's voices

Multiple destructive spells had been unleashed froe, and yet he could not hear the panicked voices of people fleeing for their lives or screa for help

The randomly unleashed spells couldn't possibly have killed every nearby resident without leaving a single one alive

“B-Birkyne-sae!” one of Birkyne's subordinates said, his voice shaking

Birkyne looked towards the orphanage's walls to see that no dae had been done to it at the place where the 'Giant Boulder Screw' should have landed directly The ground's surface had been ruined a little, but the walls continued to stand

On the other side, the area around the wall that had been struck by 'Great Blazing Cannon' was just a little dirty and black with soot

“I-impossible! How can this be…!” Birkyne muttered, flustered and pale-faced

“… My house, the Taate and the earl's house, wasn't it? If you think you can destroy them, why don't you try?” said Vandalieu as he approached Birkyne

Birkyne leapt into the air

From there, he learned the undeniable truth of where he and his subordinates currently were

At first glance, the cityscape below did appear to be the city of Morksi The gate, the main road, the Guilds and the earl's house were all the same size and in the same locations, and their roofs were of si the streets

But looking closer, the roofs were made of colored earth and stone, and the decorations on the real buildings wereon these ones

The silhouettes walking about the city were all Golems made of rock and metal

The forests and plains that should have been visible outside the city were all wastelands

“Ieonsuch a thing?!” Birkyne shouted in bewilderment

“According to Gufadgarn, she never had a reason to do so before, but it's not that she can't,” said Vandalieu's voice from very close by

Birkyne tried to turn around, but he heard Vandalieu's voice once more

“'Great Whirlwind Kick'”

A black, grotesque figure… Vandalieu, as covered in his own soul through 'Soul Destruction Fighting Technique' and 'Embodiment,' sent a roundhouse kick that bent Birkyne's body in a way that it shouldn't have been bent

Screah-class residential district

Mortor and the other noble-born Va sent flying like a shooting star

“Birkyne-sama?!”

“H-help him!”

They hastily tried to leap into the sky, but they couldn't

Vandalieu's allies, who had been hiding in the shadows of the building, appeared

“I've been holding back my frustration lately Let me use you for a little stress relief!” said Miles, as capable of flying like them

Pete, as enorh to cover the sky above them, appeared with a fierce hiss

Birkyne's subordinates stopped , clearly exhausted

“We don't have the ti with you!”

“You can stay over there protecting the livestock!”

With that, they unleashed spells not at Miles or Pete, but at Seris, Matthew and the others ere still bound by Vandalieu's spirit form

Rock projectiles, spears of ice and blades of wind flooded in towards them… and were promptly all sed by a hole that had appeared in space

“I shall protect thearn

Another hole appeared in the space in front of the noble-born Vampires, and the rock projectiles and ice spears came out of them

They shouted in alar expected their own spells to be sent back towards the the spells If they had relied on the regenerative abilities they possessed as Vao after Birkyne, but it was impossible now

Seeing the 'Dark Thunderbolt' unleashed by Pete's horns, rays of light eht-attribute Ghosts and arrows fired froave up all hope of his own escape

“I am Mortor, Birkyne-saot your pohen you're just a thug leader, but I'll turn the tables on you!” he shouted

He planned to defeat the 'Starving Wolf' Michael in the air, then get to Birkyne on his ohile the other pursuers fought his coround

“Who are you calling a thug leader! Have you really still not realized who I am?! I'm the 'Kisser' Miles!” Miles said, astounded

“What?! You're really Miles, the one as one of Gubamon's subordinates?!”

Both of the in the air despite their surprise at one another They struck each other with their sharp claws, and their fire-attribute and earth-attribute spells collided

Their blood sprayed into the air, but Mortor was s

“So, Birkyne-sauesses were correct But that is fortunate for ht, but I will easily break a youngster like you who has only lived for several hundred years!” he taunted

Mortor had becoh Birkyne's blood He was a noble-born Vampire who had lived for sixty thousand years He was the oldest aing to the organization that worshi+ped Hihiryushukaka

He was Rank 12 and had experienced nu these facts, it would have been easy to break a Miles as nothingVampires

But Miles was a subordinate of Vandalieu

“You're right, you're relatively lucky,” he said “'Beast Transformation!'”

Power flowed throughout Miles's entire body, transfor it

Now in the form of a Werewolf, Miles howled and kicked the air behind him to throw himself at Mortor Mortor was surprised by Miles's use of 'Beast Transforic to create a rock shi+eld to protect him from Miles's attack

“'Phasing Claw Strike!'” Miles roared, histhe rock shi+eld coed

“Iroaned

“I' Technique,'” said Miles “I wouldn't be able to chase you without these, would I?”

Mortor let out a scream of irritation

His severed arenerate, and it would be back to normal in a matter of seconds It was far from a fatal injury

But his initial plan of breaking Miles and killing him quickly would be impossible

Miles cal to dispose of his enemy

As Miles said, Mortor could have been considered relatively lucky He was fighting one-on-one, and his foe was still fairly ordinary

“H to click…” said Saria

“Nee-san, let's just defeat her! I haven't killed anything recently, so it's been building up!” Rita said impatiently

“That would be a waste, Rita It's rare for us to have a strong ene any problems, so we need to practice our Skills properly –

“If you're going to callenerily as she endured her pain and forcibly pulled the arrow that was embedded in the side of her abdomen

She was a fein The bloodthirst she was exuding was enough to make any ordinary person lose control of their bladder and faint, but neither Saria or Rita see with no tension in their voices; it was as if they were joking around while going shopping

But who are these people?! They constantly radiate a sharp thirst for blood, and they aren't showing an opening for ! the Vaed
