Chapter 86: 86
Powered-Up Vampire
I held my breath after defeating the Vampire Lord .
I wanted to see if any of his subordinates would come in after he tried to call them .
(Hmm . I don’t sense anyone coming…)
Anyone who had been charmed by the Vampire Lord that I just killed would have now fainted .
And his thralls would have turned into ash .
But it was also possible that some of his subordinates were turned into vampires by someone else .
If that were the case, they would see their fallen comrades and know that something was wrong .
Then they would rush here to this room .
(Since that hadn’t happened, maybe there aren’t any others here . )
I thought as I looked down at the ashes .
But just in case, I cast lock magic on the door .
Now no one could come in or go out .
After that, I inspected the ashes more thoroughly . This was to find the medal and magic stone, as usual .
The medals that collect curses which are made by the Fool’s Stone .
(As for the number of curses… There was quite a lot . )
It wasn’t too much, but quite a lot either way .
For now, I tossed the medal and magic stone into my bag .
(It would be so easy if this Vampire Lord was the boss who was behind it all…)
I thought as I searched the room .
There was nothing else that really drew my attention .
So I tried using Magic Search . It reacted to the wall .
On close inspection, there was a door that had been hidden with magic .
It was locked tightly with magic and then concealed .
It was nearly half the size of the room door and I would have to crouch when going through .
(The difficulty for this lock was about the same as Philly’s room . )
Whoever did this was very skilled . Maybe it was the Lord I just killed .
In any case, there must be something behind the door .
I carefully disabled the lock and opened the door . There was a small room on the other side .
And in the center of the room was a tall mirror .
(Didn’t vampires hate mirrors? I’ll have to ask Shia about that . )
And so I started to check the mirror carefully .
There was nothing on the surface . It was a normal mirror . However, I felt magic coming from it .
I checked the back of it .
(There it is . )
There was a teleportation magic circle carved into the back . But where did it lead?
If there was another person behind the Vampire Lord that I defeated, this would probably lead to them .
It would be necessary to activate it with magic in order to use it .
But as I was about to do it, the magic circle began to glow .
I quickly activated an illusion spell . This was so I could pretend to be the Lord that I just killed .
It was a different Lord who stepped out of the circle .

“Hm? Oh, it’s you . ”
The Vampire Lord said after looking at me .
“Uh, what…”
What is it? Was what I was about to say, but I was interrupted .
Without a change of expression, the Vampire Lord swung at me with his sword .
His sword passed the space where my head occupied a moment ago .
His speed was comparable to Goran .
It wasn’t the speed of a mere Vampire Lord .
“Why are you attacking me!?”
“Who are you? Did you really think that such tricks would work on me?”
He could see through it .
Well, Lord’s were very powerful with magic . It was never going to be easy .
But now, judging by the speed of his sword, he might be something stronger than a Lord .
“Are you a High Lord?”
“What is it to you?”
Before I could finish, the vampire swung his sword .
I blocked it with the Devil King Sword .
But his series of attacks did not stop . The room was so small, but he deftly controlled his great sword for every strike .
The power behind it was incredible .
I blocked every hit as I said,

“Are you the leader here?”
“Hmph . I’m not going to talk to someone who is about to die . ”
He didn’t want to answer .
“Then die . ”
I said as I chopped off his head . It went rolling along the floor .
His eyes were wide with horror .
“What…”
The vampire’s head groaned .
“This cannot be happening…I was granted power by God…and you’re a mere human…”
The vampire was more shocked then angry as he muttered to himself .
“God?”
The vampire became silent when I asked this .
He didn’t want to answer .
It was something he had only let slip because he was in such shock .
“Well, nevermind . I’ll find out after you are dead . ”
“…You are an insolent human . You will regret this . ”
“Sure . ”
I plunged the sword into his face .
His body and head turned in ash . But when I searched through the ashes, there was no medal .

All I found was a magical tool for breaking through the barrier .
“What does this mean?”
I couldn’t help but mumble . A Lord or High Lord should have a medal inside of them .
Maybe he had only become a Lord recently? But he was quite strong .
Vampires became stronger the longer they lived .
“What if he wasn’t even a Lord…”
I shook my head . He wasn’t as weak as an Arch Vampire .
I looked at the magic stone . It really wasn’t that of an Arch Vampire in brilliance .
But it was the same size .
Depending on the race, the size and brilliance of the stones were mostly uniform .
(Could it be…something to do with the power he received from god?)
I had a bad feeling about this .
If it was possible for a mere Arch Vampire to become this strong .
How strong had Vampire Lords become?
But the first Lord was just a normal Lord .
In other words, this god was not giving out new power to everyone .
Perhaps there were limitations in terms of time . I would have to hurry .
And so I jumped through the magic teleportation circle .
