The Duke’s Madness - The Duke’s Madness chapter 105

Leon’s eyes widened.

“Vampire?”

At this, Ginny, who was next to me, asked a question in a timid voice.

“Isn’t that a species that comes out of fairy tales?”

“… It’s not that legendary, but it’s not a rare race.”

In the meantime, Arthur also tilted his head.

‘vampire? A vampire who sucks that blood?’

Among the bloodlines, blood relatives who inherited the blood very thickly.

Among them, the blood of vampires was famous in many ways.

‘In fairy tales and novels, it’s usually portrayed as a villain, so there’s no one who doesn’t know about it.’

That’s why they are considered a legend, but the man in front of them introduced them as vampires.

At that time, the assailants who had their heads cut off or their limbs cut off by Arthur rose from their seats one by one.

“sh*t! It hurts!”

“That bastard… ! I will never let you go!”

“No, rather than that, it’s best to leave it alive and make something that neither dies nor lives.”

With a bloody threat, the Vampires raised their weapons again.

Arthur, watching the scene, burst out laughing.

“It’s fun. this… hmm. Is that Jean Leon?”

At Arthur’s call, Ginny and Leon turned their heads.

Arthur pointed to the inn door and said.

“Would you like to go outside? Seeing that, I think I should be a bit harsh.”

Ginny and Leon’s eyes widened.

‘rough… About?”

‘If you treat me harsher than before, to what extent are you going to do it?’

After thinking for a while, they got up from their seats without saying a word.

If Arthur Bayern gave this much warning, it was right to leave rather than just ask.

The moment the two went outside according to Arthur’s words, the innkeeper opened his mouth.

“Give up.”

Arthur narrowed his eyes.

“yes?”

“Give up. You can’t beat us.”

Arthur tilted his head.

“oh… give up. It’s a word I haven’t heard in a really long time. So I don’t quite understand, but you mean to give up the fight?”

“okay. The full moon vampire clan won’t lose to anyone.”

The owner’s eyes changed.

At that moment sharp fangs protruded from between his thick lips.

“If you stay calm, I’ll close your eyes right away. It’s the last consideration I can give you.”

Arthur stroked his chin and burst out laughing.

“It’s been a while since I’ve had someone take care of me. hmm… But I have no intention of giving up either.”

Arthur’s hand grabbed the beast.

After that, he flicked the gun and said.

“Come on. This time, I will give up the first attack.”

Profanity came out among the vampire clan.

“Such an asshole!”

With that cry, several vampires jumped towards Arthur.

bang-!

The place where Arthur was standing a moment ago was covered with weapons in the hands of vampires.

However, the blood and flesh that the vampires wanted were nowhere to be seen.

“Where has this guy gone!”

As soon as the vampires turned their heads along with the cry, Arthur muttered on the ceiling.

“Here, everyone.”

The moment the vampires’ gazes rose at these words, the Beast’s trigger was pulled.

bang-!!!

The five vampires were crushed with gunshots that seemed to have been fired from a cannon.

The panicked vampires shouted.

“What, what is that again?”

“Artifact? no magic?”

In the meantime, Arthur, who was hanging from the ceiling, lit up his eyes.

‘Ohh… Doesn’t it regenerate from the Beast’s blow?’

Vampires who were not killed by the magic sword disappeared without a trace from the Beast’s bullets.

‘You can’t kill it by cutting it with a normal knife, but the beast’s magic bullet works… .’

At the time when Arthur, who was speechless, was thinking about this and that, screams broke out among the vampires.

“… what’s this!!”

“Where have they gone!”

“Sir, are you dead!?”

At that cry, Arthur, who was out of his mind, jumped from the ceiling.

“… !”

The startled vampires retreated all at once.

Arthur tilted his head in that reaction, which was clearly different from a moment ago.

“what? Why are you all scared?”

“… … .”

“Could it be because a colleague died? hmm… I didn’t know that comrades were so outstanding, right?”

At Arthur’s question, the innkeeper trembled and shouted.

“What are you guys doing!! How can a vampire with a full moon rise… Could it be because of that artifact!”

At that cry, whispers broke out among the vampires.

“A weapon that kills vampires… ?”

“Are you from the church?”

“School, church!? Maybe that’s a holy thing… ?”

“Well, that makes sense! If that guy is from the Holy Knights and they’re here to subjugate us… .”

Arthur tilted his head.

“hmm? Everyone seems to be misunderstanding something, but I’m a paladin… .”

“That is the crush of that dog!”

“… … .”

“Kill! God’s henchman dares to enter here!”

With a shout, the vampires attacked again.

Arthur scratched his head and raised his knife.

At that moment, five or six rings spun and emitted brilliant light.

bang-!

A sword skill that can only be emitted by a swordsman who has reached a noble level.

The moment the light manifested, the eyes of the running vampires widened.

But it was already too late.

With the scattered blue light, the head of the vampire who was leading the way was cut.

Degurur…

The weakly rolled vampire’s head went out of the inn.

Arthur, who was watching the scene, burst into exclamation.

“Oh, it’s not just Matan, it doesn’t come alive even if you cut it with a sword.”

“… … .”

“hmm… Something like this isn’t bad. I thought I was completely immortal again.”

Arthur walked along with these words and locked the inn door.

Clap-!

The startled vampires hesitantly retreated back.

Arthur looked at him and smiled.

“Now, shall we start again? By the way, only one person survives.”

* * *

Ginny asked as she scanned the face of the dead vampire without even closing her eyes.

“It’s done? Leon?”

“hmm… I guess it’s not over yet. I can still hear the screams.”

“You seem to be very rebellious. Everything would be useless.”

Leon glanced at Ginny’s words.

“By the way, Miss Ginny. What is your relationship with Arthur?”

“Me?”

“yes. Open something else… .”

“Is it the relationship between the maid and the master?”

“… !”

Leon replied, trying to hold on to his staggering leg.

“Me, the relationship between the maid and the master… ?”

“yes. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but for now, you’re right.”

Leon swallowed dryly.

“Whoa… That’s an amazing answer. It’s the best answer I’ve heard lately.”

“Then can I ask you a question?”

“… Please speak.”

“What’s your relationship with Leon?”

“You mean Arthur and me? hmm… Between friends?”

Ginny’s gaze narrowed.

‘Are the royal family and the duke’s heir friends who want to kill someone from the Dormund family?’

I don’t really like being told that we get along well, but for now, I had no choice but to agree.

In the meantime, Leon burst into exclamation.

“Looks like it’s over. The screaming stopped.”

At these words, Leon moved on, and Ginny stood up as well.

Leon, who entered the inn first, let out a low exclamation.

“oh… Oh God.”

Ginny, who entered the inn later, also opened her mouth.

“oh my god… what’s this?”

Then Arthur turned his head and said.

“Oh, are the two of you here?”

“… … .”

“Did you splatter a lot of blood? Everyone is more resistant than I thought.”

At Arthur’s words, Leon swallowed dryly.

‘… No matter how rebellious they are, why make an inn look like an entrance to hell?’

Just looking at the scene in front of me, Arthur’s nickname I heard on the train a moment ago made sense.

‘Death Dawn… You are literally a god. Reaper of death.’

In the meantime, Arthur grabbed the fainting innkeeper and said,

“We’re going to interrogate here, so let’s get out of here, shall we? I don’t like the smell of blood either.”

Ginny, who was in front of the door, came to her senses and got out of the way.

Arthur strode down the road and put down the innkeeper he was carrying.

“… Kuck!”

The innkeeper vomited blood.

Ginny’s gaze narrowed as she watched the scene.

“Being alive… Right, Gongja-nim?”

“I broke my limbs so that I couldn’t rebel, but it’s true that I’m alive.”

With these words, Arthur crouched down.

The innkeeper, who met their gaze, exclaimed in fright.

“Go, monster!”

“what? You said you were a paladin earlier, but now you’re a monster?”

“aaa!! go away! You freak child! Go away!”

The utterly frightened innkeeper lost his temper.

Arthur, scratching his head for a moment, looked at Leon.

“oh? Is it my turn to step out?”

Leon sighed and stepped forward.

“… !”

At that moment, the innkeeper, who had been screaming, shut up.

He stared blankly at Leon with a somewhat bewildered expression unlike a moment ago.

While Ginny, who was next to him, exclaimed, Leon said.

“Interrogate.”

Arthur opened his mouth slowly.

“You belong to the [Black Cross], right?”

The innkeeper’s eyebrows trembled slightly.

However, he did not refuse to answer the question.

“… you’re right.”

“Where is Yenika now?”

“North… holy ground… .”

“Where is the holy place to the north?”

“I do not know… North Holy Land… Only the headmaster knows that place.”

Arthur stroked his chin.

“hmm… So what were you guys doing here?”

“The teacher… going to disturb… They were holding on to them.”

“aha. Are the followers who blocked the train also one of them?”

“That’s right… .”

The tips of the innkeeper’s eyes began to tremble more violently.

Leon, who was next to him, cautioned.

“You will wake up in a little while. Ask more quickly.”

At Leon’s urging, Arthur asked again.

“What did Yenika steal?”

The innkeeper replied, coughing up blood.

“The Holy Grail… Lead the forgotten lunar race back to the sun… castle… .”

The innkeeper’s speechless head fell to the side.

Arthur, who had been watching him, turned his head.

“Leon. Are you dead?”

“It’s not my fault. It must have been constrained against my hallucinations.”

“aha. Aren’t you going to let the secret out?”

“that’s right. hmm… It’s a more difficult magic than I thought. Enough to overcome even my hallucinations.”

Arthur, who was scratching his head, burst out laughing.

“It’s a pity, but didn’t you get all the information you wanted?”

“Looks like it… . I guess, the black cross.”

Leon’s expression darkened.

“The Forgotten Lunar Race. vampire. It seems to be a religious group created by their descendants.”

Ginny, who was next to me, asked.

“Are you saying that because these are vampires?”

“hmm? That’s not it. Miss Ginny. It is said that vampires are a rare species, but this alone cannot be called a religious group that refers to vampires.”

“then… ?”

Leon muttered in a serious voice.

“Holy Grail. This… It means the treasure of vampires.”

Ginny’s eyes widened.

“The treasure of vampires?”

“yes. Vampires are a cursed clan, and cannot live during the day. They can only be active at night when the day has receded.”

There was concern in Leon’s voice.

“But if there is a Holy Grail, the treasure of the vampires in some legend, this restriction disappears.”

Ginny asked in a timid voice.

“You mean vampires roam the streets in broad daylight?”

“That’s it. There are a few more legends besides that, but they’re so absurd…

Leon, who was speechless, shut his mouth.

Ginny was also in trouble.

“… … .”

In that silence, Arthur rose from his seat.

And asked a question to Leon.

“Hey, Leon.”

“huh?”

“Then is he also a vampire?”

Leon’s eyebrows gathered gently.

“… Wouldn’t that be highly likely?”

At that answer, Arthur burst out laughing.

“It’s fun.”

With these words, Arthur turned his gaze.

It was in the north where Jenika Hazel was.

Looking at it, Arthur smacked his lips.

“Yenika Hazel… They say blood is delicious, so you’re a worse vampire than me.”
