Night of the Soulless Heathens – 366



#366. Call of the Throne 4

“Hmm.”

Azadin sniffed his nose.

Blood is flowing out.

There is a pungent metallic smell in my mouth and nose.

“Are you okay?”

Niselda who was moving along the dwarves’ secret passage stopped and asked Azadin.

She was born between a vampire and a human had her fangs and claws pulled out and had carved herself a saint with consecrated silver and ceramite to free herself from the urge to suck blood but she could still smell the faint scent of blood flowing from Azadin.

“Yeah it’s okay.”

“You’ve been bleeding a lot lately…”

“Is it really that much?”

“Then I will say often Count. Do you have any illness? Considering your position I understand that you want to hide it but please tell me. Mother Chadra has mysterious powers and wisdom and she will surely be of help.”

Azadin’s warlords are united solely by Azadin’s charisma and would fall apart if Azadin were to die.

If so it is not just Azadin’s disaster.

“It’s not a disease. As you all know I happened to obtain the Book of the New King and read the grimoire. Although the actual grimoire was returned to the throne the knowledge continues to grow within me by concentrating the surrounding magical power.”

Unlike the spellbooks of miscellaneous magicians who cure the sick by grinding dried frog legs in the market shamans truly powerful books of magic are contagious like diseases simply by being read and understood.

The Book of the New King is the most powerful magical book and the moment you come into contact with its essence you will burn like wildfire.

So when Azadin obtained a copy of the New King’s Book he used the white magic contained in the copy rather than trying to read and understand the copy and transfer it into himself.

However Arael read and accepted the copy of the New King’s Book himself….

The flames of the Book of the New King were also transferred to Azadin who had fused with her.

‘Lord Planck taught me how to get rid of it but…’

Azadin hasn’t been putting down his grimoire lately.

This was because in order to counter the Northern Qi Cohen Lione it was necessary to completely obtain the Book of the New King.

“It’s okay. You just have to control it.”

“Is that so? If so that’s great.”

Niselda said so and smiled.

“You’re going to kill Griselda right? She keeps running away but I hope you can kill her without letting her escape this time.”

“Since we have Asajit’s eyes Griselda will attack even if she doesn’t want to.”

“I never thought they would drive Griselda like this. I thought I would live my whole life in fear of her and under the protection of the Mother Superior before I met the Count.”

“But why is he called the Ogeol of the Chadra Plateau? Isn’t that too much of a reputation for someone who was hiding?”

“It must be because I fought against the Chashan gang. Oh and I killed a few of the Minotaur guy’s griffons and that led to a fight. And I killed some scoundrels who were targeting women who had taken refuge in the convent and that’s how I ended up with a useless reputation. I’m ashamed to be called a scoundrel.”

“Hmm.”

Then Bernard said

“Countess Griselda is nearby.”

Bernard was able to find Griselda’s location using blood magic.

Since Niselda is Griselda’s biological daughter you can use her blood to find Griselda nearby.

“Perhaps… the throne is nearby. Beyond here should be the royal quarters. Look at this.”

On the stone wall which had been covered with moss and had recently peeled away was the seal of a crossed hammer and axe the symbol of the royal house of the Kerim dwarves.

“Does this mean the royal gate?”

“Originally this door could only be opened by the red magic of the dwarven royal family but it has been so long that the magic has completely worn off. It also seems that many people have passed through here recently.”

Bernard said touching it.

“I have a rough idea of ​​the route so let’s start looking for Griselda. Should we finally put an end to this long feud?”

Azadin decided to kill Griselda before the dwarven king.

*********

Griselda was effectively the queen of Banling.

The dwarven nobles vied with each other to win Griselda’s favor and even King Manawidan was fooled around by Griselda’s skirts.

Griselda too had done everything she enjoyed in Banreung by borrowing Manawidan’s name and authority so she had no reason to refuse Manawidan’s orders.

“Mother. Do we have to endure such humiliation?”

These female vampires who were always full of pleasure and pleasure and made coquettish voices asked indignantly.

“Those dwarves don’t seem to value the favors we’ve offered them.”

“When was the time to indulge? Why am I being treated like this now…?”

“That’s strange.”

Griselda sympathized with their anger but at the same time felt it was strange.

“After Manawidan fell and woke up the dwarves’ attitudes suddenly changed. Could it be that the magic of wishes changed the nature of Manawidan?”

“Then… do we not have to follow the orders of the Dwarf Captain?”

“There is no reason for me to be with these disgusting dwarves unless I want to rule the kingdom of Banreung from the shadows.”

“Let’s get Ashajit’s eyes back and perform the magic of wishing. This time Mother will fulfill her wish.”

“I want to do that too. Hmm?”

-Kurururung!

With a loud noise the entire fortress began to shake again.

The Rescue Knights’ attack is approaching. Judging by the direction of the noise and vibration they must have already descended to the same level as the throne room.

And then I saw the dwarven guards coming from the front accompanied by a messenger.

Two messengers and one guard but they are wearing griffon helmets on their heads.

To her surprise Captain Iak of the Guard came with a messenger to greet her.

Captain Iak shouted.

“What are you doing here? I know that the King has entrusted your command to me! Why don’t you come quickly?”

The tiers of this tiered throne had dwarven sound pipes installed here and there allowing the king’s commands to be transmitted through the pipes.

Perhaps through this Iark learned that Griselda had been assigned to his service and waited for Griselda to counter the rescue knights who were breaking through the defense line.

But when she didn’t come he seemed to have run over on his own to check for himself.

“What should I do Mother?”

“Kill him.”

Griselda gave orders to her subordinates.

Griselda’s daughters rushed forward with side swords rapiers and cicles as if they had been waiting for the order.

Like demons of the night… women in black nuns’ habits and veils dash between the dwarven structures.

The sight was surprising even to Captain Iak who was also a vampire.

“Huh!? Are you crazy?! Griselda?!”

Captain Iak swung his halberd and struck down the approaching enemies. Two of Griselda’s daughters were struck by halberds and flung back with terrible wounds but the other daughters of Griselda rushed forward and stabbed the captain’s armor with their swords and thrust their cicles into his mouth.

The hook of the scythe pierces the dwarf’s mouth like a fishhook and picks him up.

“Ahahahaha!”

“Karrrrr!”

The coquettish laughter of the female vampires echoes throughout the hall.

“Kwaaak!”

Captain Iak’s men are captured by other vampires and their blood is sucked.

Griselda’s daughters also seized Iak and began tearing at his armor from all sides then biting him.

The feast of bloodthirsty demons has begun.

“Aww! You ungrateful bastards! Even if you are just a bunch of beasts do you intend to go against the master of the heart of the mountain?!”

“I don’t like the way you always look down on us! Even though you’re a vampire yourself!”

“If we’ve been invaded this far it seems like the dwarven kingdom is finished. What are you bluffing about? Ah. If you had brought more subordinates you could have lived longer. How foolish. Iak.”

Griselda laughed at the sight of the captain of the guards his limbs torn and his blood sucked from his body.

But then it happened.

-Wow!

This time a vibration resonated from behind.

“ah!?”

The power of the throne distorted by the power of the pale white magic Nether is felt.

What did King Manawidan do?

It was a time when Griselda was embarrassed.

“I didn’t know we would fight each other…”

A golden arrow flew towards Griselda.

An arrow curves around the corner across the passage and hits Griselda.

“this guy!”

Griselda uses her blood magic to spread out her cloak. Bloody spirals spread out from the cloak solidifying like snowflakes just about to freeze and forming a net.

But the golden arrows fly out burning the bloody nets and turning themselves into flames.

Azadin melted the ceramite longsword Aurelia Dawn into celestial flames and fired it into the shape of an arrow.

This ceramite holy sword which has an absolute effect on vampires easily cuts through the bloody nets and aims for Griselda.

Griselda who was becoming anxious caught Captain Iak of the guard and took the golden arrow.

Unfortunately one of Griselda’s daughters who was hanging on to Isaac and sucking his blood was dragged along and both were pierced by an arrow at the same time.

-Pfft!

A fire breaks out and burns Isaac and Griselda’s daughter.

“Gyaaaah!”

The arrow began to melt and burn the inside of her torso.

Iark who had already been cannibalized by vampires and had little blood left was instantly reduced to ash but Griselda’s daughter who had consumed enough blood was not completely burned and writhed in pain.

She tried to somehow pull out the arrow embedded in her body but there was no way she could get the sloshing lead-like substance out.

Only Griselda can do a feat like that like cutting off most of the flesh from her torso. Other vampires would die without being able to fully regenerate if they sustain that much damage to their bodies.

“Ugh?!”

Sensing that there was no escape from the pain she placed her index and middle fingers under her chin then suddenly extended her nails and pierced her chin in one go.

The claws protruded from the top of the head tearing at the brain. It had destroyed its own brain and escaped the pain.

“Just in case ease the pain!”

At Griselda’s command the slave vampire following her raised an axe and decapitated Griselda’s daughter who had already committed suicide by stabbing herself in the head.

“Oh Aurelia Dunn!”

“It’s really scary!”

The vampires were furious at the horrific effects of their natural enemy Aurelia Dunn.
