Chapter v 237: v 237
I turned to them all once again .
“I’ll go first . And no matter what the situation is, I’ll contact you . ”
“So, if you don’t contact us, it’ll mean that the bracelet doesn’t work, right?”
“Exactly . And if that happens, you should destroy the magic circle immediately . ”
“No, we’ll go in to help you . ”
Eric insisted . I was happy to hear him say it, but it would not do .
“It could be an instant kill trap . We would all die then . ”
“I see . An instant kill trap that even you can’t disarm . ”
Eric did not look pleased, but Goran seemed to understand .
At least fifteen minutes had passed since the enemy came out of the magic circle .
Who knew when they would close it from the other side? I had to hurry .
And so after exchanging a few more words, I jumped through the circle .
My vision distorted and then there was a blinding light .
I was in a great hall that was brightly lit . The walls and floor were made of polished marble .
In fact, the hall was so large that a dragon like Kathe would fit inside comfortably .
There was one large door . It was also big enough for Kathe to pass through .
And there were 3 Arch Vampires standing in front of me . I quickly chopped off their heads with the Devil King sword .
As there were no other enemies in the room, I activated Magic Detection to see if there were any traps .
At the same time, I talked into my bracelet .
“I’m using Magic Detection now . But it seems to be safe here . ”
While I didn’t get an answer, I did hear some breathing .
Eric didn’t know what the situation was here .
And so they were staying quiet, just in case .
Once I was sure that there were no traps,
“Alright, it is finished . You can come out now . ”
Immediately, the teleportation circle flashed, and the others arrived .
‘We don’t know if they are listening to us or not . So let’s talk with telepathy . ’
‘I know . So, where are we?’
Eric scowled .
‘This great room is made of marble . Do you think it might be a palace or castle?’
‘It could be, but I don’t believe there is such a building in our kingdom…’
Eric would have known of such a grand building .

‘So, it’s a different country then?’
‘That is possible . And that would complicate things greatly . ’
Eric was the king . And so his presence in other countries would result in political problems .
‘It’s an emergency, so it cannot be helped . ’
‘That’s true . After all, they are the ones that attacked first . ’
‘Well, I don’t see the problem . We just have to keep our identities a secret . ’
Goran said with a grin .
‘Now, if this really is the vampire base, would their boss be here? Can you tell, Locke?’
Eric asked . And so I widened the area of effect for Magic Detection .
‘Let me see… They have magic protection on all of the walls, so it’s difficult to detect things . ’
‘Yes, but I’m sure you can do it . ’
‘That’s easy for you to say . ’
Besides, if I forced it, they might detect us as well .
We had to be careful here .
The only people here who could use magic was me and Kathe . So I would have to do it .
And so I very carefully continued to use Magic Detection .

‘Well, of course, they’ve thought of that…’
‘Indeed…’
‘There was a high lord that came . And Locke killed him . There must be someone above him…’
‘I agree…’
Aside from Serulis, the others were all using Telepathy to talk to each other .
Grulf was moving around the room and sniffing .
‘Grulf, stay by my side . ’
I said to Grulf as I searched . Grulf quietly returned and sat down next to me .
After a few more minutes, I was finished .
I had used both Magic Detection and Magic Exploration . And so I made a report to the others .
‘This building is incredibly large . I don’t know what kind yet, but there are a number of humanoid monsters in the area . ’
‘You were able to tell how large the building is?’
I wasn’t surprised that Eric would ask that . But Magic Detection was about searching for magic energy .
It allowed me to know the number and positions of living things and magic tools, but not the size of a building .
‘They have protection on every single wall here . Thanks to that, I was able to tell the size . ’
‘I see . And how strong is this magic protection?’

‘It’s quite strong . And it has a high resistance to magic and physical attacks . ’
‘Are the humanoid monsters vampires?’
‘I’m using Magic Exploration right now, but it seems very likely that they are vampires . ’
Kathe said as she searched the room .
‘So, how big is this building, exactly?’
‘It’s bigger than Eric’s palace . ’
‘Hoho . That’s impressive . ’
Just then, Grulf sniffed and started to poke my hand with his nose .
When I looked at him, he turned his head towards Kathe .
I think he was asking me why Kathe was allowed to wander around, and not him .
Well, she was much stronger, for one . And she was also a Sorcerer . That’s why it was fine .
However, perhaps it was commendable for Grulf to be concerned about a member of the pack .
And so I patted him on the head .
