That place was a boundary between the cliffs and the forest, remote from town.
In the place where Kaito and Nonorik once fought, now only had the remains of one man.
In the puddle of blood that already began to dry up was a corpse with a deeply cut neck.
But that corpse soon ceased being a corpse.
The very moment moonlight touched its wounds, they started to close with a sound similar to that of something being roasted.
「…Guh, Kuh!!!」
It certainly should have been dead.
But this corpse, a thing that should have been a corpse has suddenly risen like it was flung by a spring.
「Kuuh, ptooey, ptooey!!」
After getting up, Nonorik was spitting blood from his mouth.
That was a scene that could be described with one word - bizarre.
It was not just the wound on his neck, wounds all over his body were healing basked in the light of the moon.
And in a short period of time, all of his wounds have been healed.
「Uuuu, eehm, hmm, that"s strange, did Nono die?」
Nonorik begins to organize his confused thoughts.
And upon recalling what happened exclaims
「!!! Where is little Kai?」
Nonorik twirled his head and twisted his body as he was looking around but there were no signs of people nearby.
「Mmuuu, uuuuuuh!!」
Realizing that Nonorik gradually changed his expression to a frown and puffed his cheeks.
Eventually, like a balloon that inflated too much and exploded, Nonorik"s emotions pa.s.sed a critical point and he dropped to the ground.
「Aaaah!!! So annoying, annoying, annoying!! Annoooyiiiing!! I looooooooost!!」
Nonorik was flapping his hands and legs, hitting the ground like a kid throwing a tantrum.
That behavior clearly did not match the present disturbing scene. But there were no people around to witness that.
「Unfair, unfair, that is just against the rules!! Because of that, I died once!!」
It was a trump card that Kaito was not aware of since his appraisal was repelled.
Ability to stock up lives by drinking the blood of a hundred virgins… A special characteristic of true vampires.
And after he fussed for a while, suddenly he stopped all his movements and remained on the ground in a star shape, completely relaxed.
「Aaah, back to a.s.sembling blood of maidens, huh. What a drag.」
Getting tired while throwing a tantrum and just dropping to the ground, such behavior suited his childish appearance really well.
But there were no childish goodness, only innocent childish cruelty.
「Kuh, kukuku, Ahah!」
The corners of his mouth that was warped in grimace jumped upwards, turning his expression into a grin and then a crazy laugh came out.
In that wide open mouth were visible sharp fangs that weren"t there before.
「AHAHAHAHHA!!! Hiii Hiii, Ahahahahahahhaha!!!」
That kind of laugh when the laughing person himself is not sure what is so funny anymore.
But it is just so unbearably funny that it is impossible to stop laughing.
「Haa, Haaah, Fuuh…」
And after laughing to his heart content, Nonorik rose up once again.
「I like you more and more. You absolutely must become Nono"s toy.」
It was an exceedingly pure and childish craving for ownership.
Emotions of incredible purity dwelling into those eyes, after all, can only be called insanity.
「But even so, aaah. Those clothes were my favorite… They are all in tatters, gotta fix it.」
As if nothing happened, Nonorik shook his head, stood up and overlooked his body.
Since there was a battle it is only natural, but can it be overlooked is another question.
At least for Nonorik, it was a serious affair.
With one wave of a hand, torn clothes return to their original shape.
Even though he exhausted quite a lot of magical power, Nonorik had no hesitation about spending more MP.
「Well then, let"s begin by leaving this place. For starters going to the Theocracy would be the best.」
After stretching a bit, Nonorik went towards the forest.
As he walked just a bit into the woods a single Garm sprung at Nonorik like it was waiting for him in an ambush.
「「「「Guuah…?!」」」」
*Slash Slash Slash* Several sword flashes appear.
Without being able to even raise a proper dying scream, the garm turned into bisected meat and splashes of blood that poured onto the ground like rain.
「Mmmm…」
Then, garms in the surroundings that were waiting and observing, enraged by the death of their comrade attacked him as well.
「Aaah, it"s not enough after all…」
Fatigue was severe but the feeling of exaltation completely swallowed unpleasant sensations.
Nonorik could feel his instincts urging him for more.
「Aah, this won"t do, my body keeps burning. Even my crotch is aching.」
His body exudes s.e.x appeal like that of a harlot, not suitable for his childish looks.
As if being allured by such an appearance, monsters of the forest throw themselves at him… And die.
It was almost as if monsters were offering themselves as a sacrifice.
「Aah, when we are going to meet again? It"s a real love for the first time in a while♪ Just wait, after regaining powers Nono will come to steal you.」
The sight of him smiling under the moonlight was so bewitching that one might even describe it as frightening.
The epilogue will be continued.
