Holy Sword Excalibur
Silence envelops the area.
It is midnight, when even the insects have fallen asleep.
Perhaps because there is no moonlight, Harman's royal capital is enveloped in deep darkness, like the bottom of an abyss.
Such a night is the sole domain of the dwellers of darkness.
Legend has it in this world that devils descend from the depths of dungeons and attack people.
Well, Drake and the others aren't devils, they're vampires, but like devils, they live in the darkness.
If anything, I think vampires who don't like sunlight are more like residents of darkness, but in this world, vampires are different, and devils that sometimes appear from dungeons are more realistic.
As I was thinking about this while heading to the central park,
"Master, we’re almost at the central park!"
Shiro told me.
"Roger that!"
Finally, [I'll get the holy sword Excalibur without anyone noticing, Operation!] is about to begin.
We had planned our strategy before taking a nap, so we rushed straight into the central park.
Of course, I had Anastasia, who can use 6th rank dark attribute magic, cast a strong presence blocker and status ailment resistance spell on us before leaving the inn.
"Master, I have found two guards next to the holy sword Excalibur."
Shiro tells me in a whisper.
"Understood! Well then, let's go with the plan!"
""Roger that!""
We all start running and surround the vampires guarding it.
"Where the hell did you come from!!"
The vampires were shocked and in a panic when we suddenly appeared in front of them.
No wonder.
When the presence blocker magic is used with a 6th rank magic, even if you stand behind the enemy and sneeze, you won't be noticed at all.
"Mina!"
"Understood, nya! 4th rank light attribute magic, Behom*ra!"
The two vampires were momentarily frightened by Mina's light attribute magic.
It seems like the light attribute magic is working a little.
In that moment, Mary and Kenji step forward.
"Kijin Style Swordsmanship, Oni Iai!"
Slash*!
"W... White Spider... Special... Torso Slash!"
Cut*!!
Mary cuts the vampire's neck perfectly, and Kenji, inspired by Mary's special move, gives the vampire a special move with a name that seems to have been chosen on the spot.
Well, in Kenji's case, every sword attack is a critical blow, so every slash is a deadly slash...
"Hey! You idiot! Why didn't you cut off his head!"
Mary panics.
"Eh? Why?"
Kenji asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Vampires will run away if you don't cut off their heads!"
As Mary was speaking, the vampire whose torso had been severed by Kenji turned into a bat, throwing away its lower body, and was about to flee from the scene.
Meanwhile, the vampire whose head was severed by Mary is desperately searching for his own head.
Apparently, if a vampire's head is cut off, they can't change, or rather, if they transform into an animal, they can't hold their own head.
"Shiro!"
"I got it!"
Immediately, Shiro sends a thread and secures the vampire who has turned into a bat and the vampire whose head has been severed.
"The operation was a success!"
Shiro, who had successfully captured the vampires, approached me as if she wanted me to praise her.
"No, not yet!"
When I say that,
I slowly approached the holy sword Excalibur and pulled it out from the rock.
"As expected of Ced-nii!"
"As expected, Ced-kun is exactly what I had hoped you would be."
Kenji and Anastasia, who had been strangely concerned about me ever since we first met, praised me.
Kenji and Anastasia have always told me that I have hidden powers since my adventurer days before I turned into bones.
Anastasia actually believed in my abilities and enthusiastically invited me to join [Falcon Claw].
"Master, you are amazing!"
"That's grandmother's beloved sword, the holy sword Excalibur!"
Shiro and Mary also approached me excitedly.
"Keh! You are so cocky, Cedric!
Until a while ago, you were being grumpy and whining!"
Reinhard is the only one who complains, perhaps enviously.
"Please give me silver vine!"
Only Mina works at her own pace.
"Not yet. We haven't killed Drake yet!"
While saying that, I approach the severed heads of the bat and vampire that were captured by Shiro and tied up in a rope.
And,
I aimed the holy sword, Excalibur, at the bat and the vampire's head! And then, thrust the holy sword, Excalibur, at the heads, one after the other.
"Gyaaaaaaaaーー!"
"Fugyaaaaaaーー!"
The vampire and the bat, whose heads were pierced by the holy sword Excalibur, disappeared in a cloud of black smoke along with their final screams.
"T... this is amazing... until now, when it comes to vampires of the viscount class, no matter how many times I cut them open, I couldn't kill them...
It is possible that it can easily kill them without cutting their heads..."
Mary is surprised.
Mary is an oni race who has fought against vampires many times, so she must be well aware of their tenacity.
"Yeah. Now I finally have something to kill Drake.
From now on, the real thing begins!
I will absolutely kill Drake and avenge Mylene!"
"Didn't you say that Mylene was definitely alive?"
Mary chided where it hurts.
"In terms of mood, it would be more exciting if you called it avenging Mylene!"
"Is that what you think she is to you?"
"Wrong!"
Although I desperately denied it, at that time I still hadn't fully realized the fact that now that I had become a monster, my sadness did not last as long as it did when I was a human.
