Night of the Soulless Heathens – 362



#362. Grim Reaper Runaway 6

Among the Celestials there were those who recognized the Wendigo’s followers.

“Isn’t this the Nether clan? That?”

“The raid on St. Mallory Harbor…”

Celestial Fire was not stationed at St. Mallory at the time but was working on analyzing the Wendigo corpse which revealed that it was a member of the Nether faction that had attacked St. Mallory.

Why did it suddenly appear here?

The question was answered by Triodana’s barracks which were emitting ominous magical power.

However despite this dire situation things began to improve as Wendigo’s followers became cannon fodder.

The fortress cannons of Banreung had to fire nonstop to deal with the Wendigo’s followers and as a result some areas of its defenses became vulnerable.

“Chief Karna! What the heck is this!”

“Triodana Sir is restraining the rampaging Nether artifact!”

“Yes? But…..”

“Enough! Right now we need to take down that fortress! Celestial Fire! Gather!”

Karna the leader of the Celestial Fire ordered his hippogriff riders to mount.

Mobilize hippogriffs to deploy a small number of elite troops into the skies above the mountain’s heart fortress.

Vampires dwarf sorcerers and Blunderbuss soldiers tried to block them with chaos but the Wendigo’s followers concentrated their attacks on the fortress watchtower.

“Now is the time!”

Hippogriff riders swooped down and landed on the fortress’ cannon towers.

They fought off the gunners who were loading the fortress cannons and engaged in fierce battles with the vampires dwarf sorcerers and dwarf guards.

Although the situation was chaotic the power of the Celestial Knights could never be underestimated and the fortress watchtower was subdued.

As some of the fortress’ cannons fell silent the firepower of the fortress at the heart of the mountain which was like an iron fortress began to weaken.

*********

“…Is this a fight between the Rescue Knights or a fight between demons?”

As a member of the King’s Church Edir who had already been looking at the Knights Templar with suspicion was left speechless at the horrific tragedy unfolding before his eyes.

It’s not a fight between people it’s a fight between monsters.

Here with gunpowder and cannons spewing fire the horror was reminiscent of the middle of hell.

“Okay. Then shall we go through the secret passage?”

Azadin checked the situation and insisted that they go back the way they came and enter the secret passage.

“Huh? You didn’t even bother to help them or check what Nether Divine Mercy the Knights use?”

“No I know what the Nether’s water is.”

The Nether Divine Water currently being used by Triodana was originally owned by Azadin.

“I thought I should go and help if I couldn’t control it but looking at the current situation it seems like I can control it. In that case let’s solve our Erantry quest first.”

Azadin said so and strode into the secret passage.

The Banreung Academy underground passage was filled with all kinds of magical eukaryotic creatures.

These monsters which grow by spitting out fire and electricity and eating the magical waste around them have bodies filled with the corpses of rats lizards and other small animals which are then digested.

Azadin burned the eukaryotes with Aurelia Dunn and found a way forward.

however….

“I see you here!”

A bright woman’s voice was heard.

To everyone’s surprise Griselda was blocking one side of the tunnel with her daughters and fully-armed dwarven archers.

“What a surprise. You came to block this place when there’s so much chaos?”

Azadin spoke in a tone that made it hard to tell whether he was genuinely surprised or just complaining.

Even though the heart of the mountain is in danger you are still aiming for Ashajit’s eyes.

“If you retrieve Ashajit’s eye you can solve problems like that. But you you bastard. Do you really think you can move around with Ashajit’s eye and avoid my surveillance? Isn’t that too much of an act of ignoring me?”

From the moment she entered Griselda’s territory with Asajit’s eyes Griselda was able to know the location of Azadin’s group in detail.

So she gathered her elite force and set out to intercept Azadin.

“Griselda!”

Niselda began to get angry when she saw her mother Griselda.

Although she usually had the appearance of an elegant lady she was now growling like a bloodthirsty beast ready to charge at Griselda at any moment.

But Azadin stood in her way.

“Griselda. Is Bishop Achenar here?”

“Of course. She too has a new life as my daughter! Shall we meet here?”

Sure enough one of Griselda’s daughters appeared among the vampires dressed in a new black mourning dress.

As a priest of the religious order he wears a black shroud with the mask on his face to hide his appearance.

“Bishop Akenar.”

“Ahaha. Count Azadin. Did you come to see me? I am glad.”

As Bishop Akenar opened his mouth in joy blood flowed from between her lips.

A warm decadent voice calls Azadin’s name as if it had just been drinking someone’s blood and revelling in its pleasures.

Azadin frowned at her appearance.

“She may be a member of the Yaegasu royal family but she was able to turn into a vampire.”

“Haha. What about the new royal family? They’re all mongrel now and they’re just showing off! And my ability in the first place is my blood… Why am I talking to you about this now?”

Griselda shouted at Azadin in annoyance.

“Now hand over Asajit’s eyes. Then you too will be admitted to my court of the night and you will share in my eternal bliss as the best in my collection. Akenar has truly loved you! How would you like to stand beside me with Akenar?!”

Griselda tempted Azadine with pleasure. But Azadine laughed and replied.

“When you make a request like that how about you bow your head a little deeper? Considering the gap between us you should at least prostrate yourself on the floor.”

“What?”

“It’s funny how you’re so sure you’ll win now even though you were so stern before. That’s a very positive way of thinking. If Griselda’s sins weren’t so serious we could have been good friends.”

“You cheeky bastard! Shoot me!”

As Griselda gave orders to her men the dwarves fired their matchlock guns and blunderbusses all at once.

It was a bit too far for the matchlock gun and the blunderbuss to have full power and accuracy but it didn’t matter.

Since it is an underground passage with a ceiling and walls the accuracy can be adjusted as much as you want.

Countless black powder bullets exploded filling the subway with acrid smoke.

“Ugh… gulp gulp. No I’m going to suffocate!”

Griselda gasped and fanned her fangs in the aftermath of the dwarves’ salvo.

“Ah… Count Azadin.”

Bishop Achenar who was included as one of Griselda’s daughters felt sorry when Azadin’s figure disappeared into the smoke.

“Don’t worry. If he’s not dead we’ll accept him as part of our bloodline. He’s handsome and has a great reputation so he’ll definitely be a fun toy. But even if he’s not….”

Even if he dies he can be revived as a white using necromancy. His appearance is also relatively well-preserved when he is revived so he would be good to use as a toy.

Griselda was about to say something like that but somehow she could feel that Azadin’s presence was not disappearing at all.

-Mercurial Blood!

And the mercury blood magic was cast.

Inside the subway red smoke mixed with toxic mercury is pouring out.

The surprised dwarf archers and sorcerers stepped back.

In front of them thick trees continued to grow sucking up the surrounding waste and growing.

This tree had withstood a barrage of fire from matchlock guns and blunderbusses and protected Azadin and his party.

“Yes it’s the water of the Nether! That thing!”

“what?”

Azadin used Grimslow’s club or rather Grimslow’s divine water to shield himself from the musket attacks. And Bernard mixed cinnabar with blood magic to cast Mercurial Blood magic sending a poisonous fog this way.

The surprised dwarf musketeers tried to reload their matchlock guns but the weapon took too long to reload.

“cheeky!”

The dwarf sorcerers burned the Mercurial Blood with their fire magic.

The subway became even more chaotic as toxic smoke rose and burned.

Then through the fog and flames huge shadows rushed towards the dwarf sorcerer and Griselda.

“Blood Golem!”

Bernard had summoned a blood golem.

Bernard who possessed the Eye of Ashajit continued to produce blood golems that would have made ordinary wizards faint just by making one or two.

A golem made of blood picks up trash from the sewers and charges its body covered in Mercurial Blood.

“profit!”

The vampires and dwarves destroyed the blood golems with magic and weapons. Perhaps because they were elites personally selected by Griselda they displayed swordsmanship and magic skills that were far superior to those of other vampires they had met so far.

They sliced ​​the blood golems like tofu and even suppressed Bernard’s near-infinite blood magic with magic.

In an instant the blood golems collapsed into a mass of prophets and Grimslow’s wooden barrier also burned down.

“Hahaha. Is that all? Count Azadin! If you surrender now I will make you my special concubine! Otherwise I don’t have the confidence to leave your pretty face behind!”

Griselda was confident of victory but…

Suddenly I realized that Azadin’s presence had disappeared.

-puck!

And a sword was thrust into Griselda’s side.

A blade protruded from within the shattered mass of the Blood Golem.

“ah?!”

Azadin emerged from the remains of the Blood Golem.

Griselda doubted her eyes.

So does that mean that Azadin had Bernard create a blood golem centered around himself and then he buried himself in the blood golem and approached him and then hid himself inside a clump of prophetic paper when it was destroyed by vampires?

You did this?

You’ve only just acquired the Eye of Ashajit and you’ve already thought of using it like this?

And you can do that in such an urgent situation?

This is an idea that only a natural born assassin could come up with.

It was an aspect that made one understand why the Jeonryun clan was called the God-King-Slayers.

‘Why did it have to be Aurelia Dunn!’

Griselda immediately pulls herself away but the blade glows golden and bursts into flames.

Aurelia Dunn began to burn Griselda’s side.

“ugh….”

Griselda couldn’t even scream. She quickly pulled away but the undying fire burned her body.

The other vampires rushed to Azadin to save Griselda. It was no different from throwing themselves at Aurelia Dawn.

-Cheek!

-Whew!

Aurelia Dawn’s blade swung and grazed the vampires and even a single brush with it was so painful that they all screamed and rolled around.

“Ugh! That damn Aurelia Dunn! Because of that!”

Griselda managed to escape the sacred fire only after she had torn the flesh from the spot where Aurelia Dunn had stabbed her with her fingernails.

Even if Griselda is the highest level vampire she can’t have a whole bunch of her internal organs ripped out and still be fine.

Eventually she started to run away again from the topic she had appeared on with great momentum.
