Chapter 87: 87
The Enemy’s Base
A sword slashed at me the moment I appeared on the other side .
I blocked it with the Devil King Sword .
However, it wasn’t just one hit . They came one after another .
I blocked the attacks while inspecting the enemy .
There were about five vampires . They seemed stronger than Arch Vampires .
Maybe they were Lords . Their attacks were faster .
In any case, I had to put them down quickly .
I swung my sword a few times, and eventually cut off all of their heads .
They rolled on the floor as I said,
“Is your god here?”
They didn’t reply, so I stabbed one of the heads, turning it into ash .
There was no medal .
The magic stone shined like a Lord stone but was the size of an Arch stone .
“Hmm . So you aren’t Lords . ”
I looked at the remaining four heads .
“So I guess you are all Arch Vampires who have been strengthened by this god of yours?”
They remained silent .
Normally, a monster’s strength affected the size and brightness of the stone .
The stronger the monster, the larger and brighter they were .
And there was a great difference between Arch Vampires and Vampire Lords .
It took a long time for Arch Vampires to grow into a Lord .
So the development of the stones would also take a long time .
But these vampires must have been strengthened very quickly, and so the stones had not caught up yet .
And so only the brightness had changed .
“A valuable sample . ”
I said as I stabbed the remained heads .
“In any case, where am I?”
The walls were rough stone . There were no windows and only a single door .
There was no furniture . The only thing in the room was the mirror with the magic circle on it .
It reminded me of the Vampire High Lord base I had invaded recently .

“Do vampires like caves?”
I opened the door and moved on .
There was a hallway and several vampires waiting .
I killed them without exchanging a word . There were even minor monsters like goblins .
I killed them as well . I would gather the stones later .
As I advanced through the cave, the place erupted into chaos .
I did not hide at all .
The fact that a magic circle was used meant that this place must be quite far from the city .
Perhaps there were no humans nearby at all .
Or maybe there was at one time .
But there were so many vampires here .
If there was a town or village nearby, they would have been destroyed already .
And so there was no point in holding back .
“Where is your boss?”
I asked a vampire’s head .

He said nothing . But I didn’t really expect him to .
“You won’t tell me, huh?”
I stabbed the head .
The vampires were moving more frantically now, as if they were desperate to stop me .
It was obvious that I was getting closer .
(But then again, maybe it was a trap . )
But I had no other clues and would have to keep going .
The vampires were throwing themselves at me in a suicidal attempt to stop me as I killed my way through their ranks .
After walking for some time, I came upon a room that was heavily guarded .
I put a hand on it but then hesitated .
Judging by the movements of the vampires, there was something very important in this room .
Perhaps this god that they worshipped was inside .
Or maybe it contained the important tools used for summoning it .
In any case, it was a place that the enemy wanted to protect .
And of course, it might even have the barrier of the god of the dark ones set up .
“…What should I do?”
I muttered to myself as I cut down a vampire who attacked from behind .
I stabbed the rolling head and then shot a magic bullet into the ceiling .
It broke through the rock ceiling .

Then I saw light leaking through the hole . It had gone through completely .
Through this hole, I used search magic to scan the area .
Humans tended to move .
So I just needed to search for moving things of a certain size and I could see if there were humans close by .
However, there were things of a similar size that moved which were not humans as well, so you had to be careful .
“Hmm . There doesn’t seem to be any humans around . ”
So there was no need for restraint .
“The ceiling is thick as…five adults . ”
If I used some serious explosion magic, it would all collapse .
But since there was no one around, I didn’t really mind .
However, it would make it hard to investigate later on .
“Alright . I’ve decided . ”
I shot a magic bullet into the door . In an instant, it was blown away .
At the same time, I released a Terminus Icicle spell around me .
The temperature of my surroundings dropped to near zero .
It was necessary to make a magic barrier to protect your friends when using Terminus Icicle .
So I rarely used it unless I was fighting solo .
It wasn’t the most convenient magic . However, it was good for disarming enemies without wrecking the environment .
The vampires that tried to attack from the back were now frozen on the ground .
Then they fell down and shattered . Being frozen had made their bodies brittle .
All around me, vampires and goblins fell and crumbled into pieces .
