She Returned as a Vampire - She Returned as a Vampire chapter 45

45 – No matter how much I try to hide it…

“He always said. Always. Night guests always bring bad luck.”

If you put strength into your hands, and if you put strength into the hand holding the neck of the intruder in front of your hateful eyes…

I can feel the anger running through my veins, as strong as if I would bite my own teeth.

Every time I try to be with him –

That’s right at his house too.

I ruined his house with my own hands,

With his hands, no one else’s, he burned down the place and nest of precious memories just for the two of us…

So, what should I do with this vampire who is trembling in front of me and begging for forgiveness?

Wouldn’t bad luck happen if I cut off my breath even now…

The moment I was about to think that way.

“Chu, tracking party… This way…”

If it wasn’t for those words, I’m sure I would have dropped my head.

“What?”

“People looking for Elena Heartfield have been found in a village not far away.

A group of heavily armed knights and priests roamed from place to place, bearing the name of Niel Pietro,

So –

I am also looking for the master’s companion.”

Why?

Why him?

I’m the only one who did something wrong.

Why are you looking for Niel?

If you’re going to find it, you should have found me.

Why are you chasing him?

No. I have to hide it from others, I have to protect it.

I can’t lose it this way.

He is the love I got, how I got it back, and how I was able to embrace it.

I can’t afford to lose like this again after making so many mistakes.

“…I have to hide it. Could there be anywhere in the mansion to hide it? A safe? A cellar?

At least it’s wider than what I saw back then…?”

What if they hurt Niel?

What if you take Niel’s life hostage to kill me?

If he gets hurt because of me –

That shouldn’t happen. Never.

Why does he keep getting caught up in what I did?

Why does everything get so tangled, twisted, and ruined every time –

“Cool, Cool – “

“I need a place to move him. If there’s a way, find a way. Or do something to keep him out of this place…”

“No, kek, but, I was going to tell you.”

He was out of breath, then staggered up from his seat and handed me a scroll.

“Thompson, whom I met before… The person who refined the magic fluid asked me to deliver it.

Living Armor – Armored Golem… It’s called by many names,

What we make are undead knights.”

Cheerfully, I unfolded the yellow paper, and a blueprint of the article came out.

Forcibly manipulating a corpse with blood magic, making it carry out its orders.

The materials are a few corpses, armor, a sword, and…

Niel’s blood?

“Huh, heh heh…

You think I’m going to give it to you guys for being crazy?”

A precious person undoes the button himself to save me,

His beautiful figure approaching me spraying his sweet scent is only allowed to me,

The blood that flows through my body should also be mine,

Nothing but a vampire,

Those who can’t even be his lovers dare to talk about his blood?

“The corpses that are revived with blood, especially the corpses of vampires, are powerful.

To the extent that it wouldn’t break even if five knights rushed at it.

However, it is dangerous because they are driven by instinct.

For this reason, knights revived in this way are sometimes used as weapons by groups of vampires…

These knights commanded by blood relatives are different.

A desire engraved in blood. It is driven by one purpose.

To protect the owner of that blood.

That’s why I’m begging you. So that we can protect the one who took us…!”

“I will protect him, and I will hide him.

I won’t let you guys take away from me and his work, which each and every one of us will shoulder.”

He always did it all alone.

He embraced me while cutting out his own heart.

In order to embrace him from now on, I must be prepared to treat him with the same determination.

So that’s why I have to embrace him alone.

In this dangerous world, you must keep it in a safe room.

The world turned into an enemy,

From noble mtl dot com

It became that way because of me, not anyone else.

I will take responsibility for the rest of my life.

As much as I am on his side,

I will remain as his love.

I’ll have to do a love that no one else can.

“I’m not trying to steal it. But – “

“Enough. I won’t allow you to want more of his blood.”

There’s no reason to mix things up like this in the first place.

At a time like this, I have to hug him a little more.

On a cold night without me, you can’t just stay in your room and wait for me.

Blowing your breath ho, ho, ho,

I can’t sip hot tea to soothe my cold heart in front of flickering lights.

It must be me who keeps him warm.

Not anything else, but me.

***

“So, are you here?”

A group of humans stood in front of a mansion, waving their faded capes.

Covered in gray cloth, the two knights in front gazed forward as they slowly placed their hands on the handles of their swords.

Darian Powell and his father, Nathan Powell.

The lord’s knights, who ruled over a vast area including their hometown, had to arrive in a faraway place with a secret mission in their arms.

That too with the people of the church.

“Surely, Heartfield’s magic signal is heading here. But… As I’ve warned you over and over again,

Its energy is severely distorted, and its concentration is much thicker.

Should I say it’s a phenomenon that can’t be seen as an ordinary martial artist…”

Hiding the glowing orb in his bosom, the evangelist buried his face deeper into the cloth to hide from the cold wind, and raised his hand to reflect the light in front of him.

Unlike the exhaustion of going through a rough road with a thin woman’s body,

Her eyes were full of determination.

And as if responding to that resolution, the light brightened the darkness and revealed the things wrapped in magic.

“Besides, this deep red… Maybe.”

The red aura that extended to the mansion gently enveloped the entire mansion.

The knights who were taken aback by the bloody mist, as if they could even smell the fishy smell of blood, looked back in surprise at the more ferocious energy.

A large knight who had been guarding the back of his party all along stepped forward with his armor trembling.

Without a word, the cross-headed monster who had been standing by the missionary all along grabbed the long, large mace from his back and groaned.

“…Heretic energy.”

With a thump, the mace hit the ground once, making a straight path in the snow and being dragged by a strong hand.

Its weight and shape made it clear at a glance that it could never be lifted by an ordinary human, but the knight with a young voice was surprised by something else.

“What are you talking about?!”

As the four of us gathered to do work in the first place, it is said that we did not mix words except for essential prayers –

The gigantic knight finally opened his mouth, and the sound that came out of his throat was unbelievably harsh for a human being.

“Darian, excuse me. Quiet.”

It is safe to say that he moves almost according to instinct. After following the silver knight with his eyes for a while,

The two of them inhaled and exhaled for a long time as they followed the evangelist with their eyes determined and determined.

“Shouldn’t I report it first?”

“We have already received an order. Even for an abandoned child, blood is thicker than water.

You have to make them pay for it. Even if they say it’s a monster.

Didn’t you even get a sword like this for that?”

Sureung, the drawn sword had writings on it,

As if they reacted to the smell of blood, as soon as they were touched by red magic, they began to emit a soft pure white light.

“It looks like the investigation team got it right. Get ready.”

“Damn it… So you’re saying it’s not about cutting down mere humans.”

The two of them moved forward, lowering the helmet they had put on it and wrapping the loose scarf around it.

How long did you walk like that?

Something was blocking the monster.

With the mansion right in front of them, the two who were going ahead stopped and looked straight ahead with firm expressions.

And before long, the identity of the blocking object was a woman.

A woman in a black coat, with iron accessories hanging here and there, stood in her place and looked at them—and then moved her gaze.

“Kuh…!”

At the sensation of a grip on his heart, Nathan involuntarily let out a moan, which made his son’s worried eyes widen.

Of course, he still maintained his posture like a knight, his body facing the enemy.

“I always said that night customers are the worst. No matter how many times I repeat it, it’s not enough.”

With a thump, the coat she was wearing fell to the floor, and soon after she waved her hand, it got caught on a tree far away and was thrown away.

“There are always unwelcome guests like this … When he needs to rest, he always comes.

Why, why can’t you just leave us alone?

I just want to run away from everything and live in a world just for the two of us.”

The red-eyed woman lamented in a voice mixed with anger, despair, sadness, and depression, and was loosening her hands.

Befitting information that he was a martial artist, the two of them gripped their swords more firmly as they naturally posed while wearing spiked gloves.

However, one word from the preacher broke the mood for an instant.

“Helena Heartfield, is that right?”

There was power in that question.

There was something solid about wanting to confirm something.

“…Then you. Who are you?”

The atmosphere around them seems to have softened a bit, though, thanks to the exchanged words.

But if you think about how fire starts,

If you think about how the fire that devours everything is born, it’s easy to see that it’s a very big illusion.

Now, just like the words of the preacher.

“Yuliana, my name is Yuliana Eve. With Niel Pietro… I was a childhood friend.”

Friends.

That word was such that it was difficult to contain hostility.

But why is that woman,

Does the woman who seems like her target seem so angry?

“So what? What the hell does that mean?”

“I want to know what happened to him.

I thought there was definitely a divine guidance in meeting the old relationship once again like this – “

“What are you talking about?”

In the sharp voice, the cracks in the conversation were gone.

The knights tensed up and began to tighten their grip on the feeling of being split apart.

In an atmosphere that would not be strange even if it started at any time,

I only moved my feet once on the thin ice sheet, but the feeling of splashing water…

“…At least before I stood here as His Apostle,

As an acquaintance of his, I want to ask him what he wants to know.

How did you and him meet?

And how this happened,

Finally, and above all, his regards – “

Kung –

I heard a dull sound that interrupted me just like that.

Knights,

A sound so loud that even that huge monster flinched.

Its origin is no one else, but a woman with pure white hair and bloody eyes.

It exudes a very different energy than before, and embraces the appearance of a growling monster…

“If I told you to shut up, would you be able to shut that proud tongue?

Are you trying to hit someone else’s man with your tail?

Why are you trying to say that you’re too precious to me who became a monster?

Are you going to laugh at me and take him away from me?

No, no… Even if it’s a god up there, he’ll never take it out of my hands.”

It was the missionary’s resolute will that opened the eyes of those who had only relied on the sword.

“…Dirty blood has covered your eyes.

From my point of view, I am very worried about the safety of him who is caught in your hands.”

“No, you don’t have to worry too much. He’s happy enough by my side.”

“No, I’ll have to see it with my own two eyes.

Even if it means subduing you.”

With a bang, the scarf falls to the ground.

Sureuk, the hood he had pressed down deeply came off.

And then, what appeared was pure blue eyes.

“I’ll check it myself.

A childhood friend.”
