Chapter 419: Delaying the Vampires

The day after we defeated the vampires, there haven’t been any powerful monsters yet. As usual, I can leave it to the rest. Though because people like Hill and Oleg are busy, I brought them back to their city. But we still have a lot of manpower here, so it’s fine. And I will bring them back here again in two days if Angela hasn’t finished breaking through.

I wonder how she feels at the moment? Will she be hungry after she finished breaking through? I’ll just ask Lina to prepare Angela’s meal at all time.

Though when Angela hasn’t finished breaking through yet, I am the one ended up eating those foods. But it’s all good.

“Spot, how’s the surrounding?” I asked.

“Same as usual. Many monsters, but none of them are extraordinary,” Spot said.

“Then, let’s take a walk around. Though you will be flying,” I said.

“Where to?” Spot asked.

.....

“Where the vampires came from. I want to know how long until the rest of the vampires arrive if they really will come,” I said.

Now that we’re leaving, I need to appoint a leader. And the one I pick is obviously Kayla. So, I killed the ogre she was about to fight.

“Kayla, leave it to the others. I need you to do something,” I said.

“You want me to stay as the temporary leader while you’re away, right? Are you going to where the vampires are?” Kayla knew what I was about to ask from her.

“You’re amazing as always. That’s right. I want to know how long until they arrive. Make sure you remind the others to not use everything while taking care of the weaklings and save their strength for the big battle. I’ll be going now!”

I kissed Kayla and ride Spot away toward where the previous vampires were coming from. That’s the most likely place for the other vampires to come from.

With Spot’s speed, it doesn’t take long before my Divine Vision can see where the vampires are. But from the distance and the time it took for Spot to come here, the estimation time for the vampires to reach us should be around two or three days. Unless all of them can fly.

Though I believe, just like before, they will drink the blood of all monsters they encounter before arriving. I can also see that they are drinking blood from the goblins. Do they drink from all living beings no matter how disgusting they are?

My guess is that as long as it can make them stronger, they don’t mind. Though from yesterday’s event, when that vampire boy said humans’ blood is delicious, I think they still have their own taste. Not that I like the taste of blood. At least it’s good to know that human’s blood is more delicious than goblin’s blood.

“There they are. What will you do, Roy?” Spot asked.

“Decrease the number and delay their march as much as possible,” I said.

For this, I have prepared somethings. Blobbygrenades filled with gas.

I asked Victoria how to improve the reach of my gas, and she said that I can just throw it. And that’s how she explained what a grenade is. It’s a throwing weapon that will explode.

And so, we prepared Blobbygrenades, filled with many gases. Calming gas, sleeping gas, depressing gas, infuriating gas, and even the killing gas. Not the gas that will make those who inhale it die. But the kind that will make them kill each other. Though it will be great if I can use such gas.

“Hmm... there are lots of vampires. Probably, more than three hundred. If they started killing each other, not just we will have fewer enemies. But they will be weaker as well because they will use a lot of blood. But still, I haven’t seen their leader yet. They must be far behind,” I said.

I don’t think that my gas can affect those with powerful magic like expert level or even master level mages. As for monsters, I believe that the vampires’ leader, whether it’s a king or a queen, can resist my gas somewhat. But for the other vampires, they don’t have that much power.

“Let’s throw it to several locations with the most vampires,” I said while looking down at the vampires from the sky, on Spot’s back.

“Making them kill each other? Roy, I think you are the evilest human than any other humans I’ve ever known. And you think the cult is evil?” Spot asked.

“Oh, they are evil indeed. The reason I’m seen to be eviler than them is because they did evil things to me first. If they didn’t kill me in my previous life, I wouldn’t go this far,” I said.

“Don’t mind him. He’s just justifying his evil act. If you listened to him seriously, you are just an idiot,” Victoria said to Spot.

Protecting my friend is not evil. And that’s the truth.

I prepared five Blobbygrenades filled with the killing gas, and threw them at five different spots. Though I hope that some of them will be inhaled by the leader of the vampires.

The vampires looked confused when they see a black ball falling near them. They stopped their march for a while, and I gave the signal to Victoria to destroy her clones.

“Victoria, now.” I said.

“Okay!”

The five black balls disappeared in an instant. Making the vampires wary of the situation thinking that someone is attacking them. But they are half right. Someone indeed attacking them, but it’s not from the outside where the vampires are currently looking at. They are searching for the perpetrator outside of their group, but where they should be wary are their own kind instead.

In less than three second, one vampire already killing someone next to him. I wonder if they drink blood from their own kind?

Maybe because they are affected by the gas, they don’t think about drinking the blood and just went into frenzy as many vampires started to kill each other. Most of the affected vampires come from close to the Blobbygrenades. Though the grenade is gone now, the gas is spreading to every vampire there.

“What are you doing!?”

“Stop it!”

“Hey! It’s me!”

“DIE!!!”

The panicked vampires don’t know what to do as their friends or families are killing them. Maybe I should have used the infuriating gas instead. But still, lowering their number is more important. Using the infuriating gas won’t make them kill each other. They can still be healed later if they are injured, but if they die, there’s nothing they can do.

“In horror fictions, it’s normal for human being to scream because of vampires. But this is truly a scene from horror movie. Vampires screaming in horror from other vampires killing them. This could be a hit!” Victoria said.

“What? You’re thinking of writing action horror this time?” I asked.

“I have always been writing many kinds of stories. My favorite part is writing the subplot instead of the main plot,” Victoria said.

Okay, I regret that I asked. It’s kind of obvious what the subplot is.

“And there’s a character that I wrote based on you,” Victoria continued.

“Like I said, never use me as the material for your story!”

Oh, no! What if her readers noticed that? I will be popular in a way that I never wanted. That will be hell.

I wish no one noticed it.

The vampires started killing each other. Unless those who inhaled the gas were killed, the killing won’t end.

Hmm... I compressed a lot of gas inside of the Blobbygrenade, so I expected more of them to be affected. But it seems like many of them are powerful enough to resist the effect of the gas. Though they are not powerful enough to protect themselves against the affected vampires and they die.

Until finally, a group of vampires appear and killed those who got affected. They seem to be their elite force consist of the vampire nobles. That’s just my guess though. But it might be close to the truth.

I still have some grenades, so let’s throw them. Though they are not the killing gas, it should be enough to delay them.

Those who inhaled the fear gas, were afraid to get closer. They are afraid of something that blocking their path, even though what they see is just a hallucination.

Those who inhaled depressing gas, give up on everything after seeing their own kind killing each other.

Those who inhaled the infuriating gas, were angry at other vampires and another battle begins.

And those who inhaled the lust gas... well, they are doing what I expected to do after inhaling the gas. Some are good for the eye because they are all good looking. But it makes me angry instead.

But those effects are temporary. They will continue their march later.

But as all of that event is happening in front of them, I haven’t seen any sign of their leader. Which one is it?

Until finally, I see a male vampire about my age, is looking directly at me from the ground. He’s looking at me angrily and is the only one who noticed my location even though we are far, and Spot is using his camouflage ability. He must be their leader.

I show him my middle finger as I try to memorize his face with my terrible memory, before returning back to the dome.

If he can see that far, he might have some good pair of eyes. Maybe if I defeat him, my Divine Vision will improve.

Well, let’s report it to the others. A huge battle is coming. Whether Angela is done with her breakthrough or not, the battle can’t be stopped.

...maybe I shouldn’t have provoked him?

Well, it’s too late for that. They are coming because of Angela anyway. It’s best to kill them.
