Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind

Chapter 69

Reincarnated Boy and the Vampire Identity

Translated by AmaLynne

AN: This is a continuation of “Reincarnated Boy and the Obituary” from about seven chapters ago.

…Everyone present could not believe their ears.

Avis and his friends were strong. They were the strongest among us, and there must have been three of the Twelve Holy Apostles, the greatest force of mankind. And the S-rank adventurers, too.

…And then they were annihilated by a single vampire?

「…Julia, is that some kind of joke?」

「I-It’s not a joke! It is true! The Twelve Holy Apostles, the S-rank adventurers like me, and all the Heroes, were all wiped out by the vampires with their terrifying strength. All of the Heroes, all of them…!」

「Lean…The same name as the vampire that Mia was talking about…She has that much fighting power…?」

…Really, is it?

Hero party…Thirteen of mankind’s best and brightest were unable to do anything about it?

「…All right, I believe you. Tell me in detail what happened.」

「Yes, yes! First of all…」

「Wait!」

「Eek! What is it…?」

Julia’s story was interrupted by…Helena-san, the second in the hierarchy of the Twelve Holy Apostles, the『Treasure Eyes』.

She is a woman who was born with a mysterious eye that is not a magical phenomenon, and is said to be able to『see through everything』.

「…Julia, come here for a moment.」

「Yes, yes……」

When Julia-san went to Helena-san’s side, Helena-san look at her stomach area…

「…Julia, you have a bomb in you.」

「What…?」

「Probably put on you by that Lean vampire…《Magic Release》…Yeah, that should take care of it.」

「Bo, bomb, bomb…! Oh, thank you, Helena-sama! If you haven’t noticed, I…」

…Even the people who let her go set traps for her and later try to kill her. And since she chose the bombing route, she probably intended to involve the people around her as well.

Lean, the vampire, seems to be a horribly cruel and ruthless one.

「T-Then, let me tell you the story……」

◆◇◆◇◆

After listening to Julia-san’s story all the way through…All of us were immensely impressed.

The woman, Lean, is a very strong fighter.

「What a monster…」

「She was a very good fighter, but she was not even wounded by three of the Twelve Holy Apostles at once, even if they were lower-ranked.」

「L-Let me tell you something else…He called himself the second seat of the『Four Demon Generals』, the『Demon God General』.」

「The Four Demon Generals…? I have never heard of it. What kind…wait, did you just say the second seat?」

「…Suppose that the Four Demon Generals are a group of the strongest in the Demon Army…There is still one person on top…?」

「I don’t know…I-I just know that…She’s that breathing disaster…She was talking to Sakura Forrester friendly…At least, she’s on equal footing with the strongest of the semi-executives……」

……. I underestimated.

I had underestimated how powerful the Demon Army was.

Lean Bloodlord, a Demon God who can destroy a party of Heroes single-handedly. There are three more around the same rank.

…It’s a nightmare. If such a thing comes out, the only one who has a chance of winning is Revels-sama, the first of the Twelve Holy Apostles.

「She’s……she said to me,『I’ll let you off the hook here, but you have to accept my terms instead』…I decided that my priority was to bring back his information, and I agreed to it……」

「Terms……. What terms?」

「One is……To tell her information to the top. Second is……to tell our information to the best of my knowledge……I refused this one……and finally……pass a message……」

「Pass a message…what?」

The intent of having one’s information spoken above is, presumably, to incite fear in mankind by making one’s presence known.

But what is a message?

「Send a message to…Tell the Twelve Holy Apostles, Noin-sama and Edith-sama.」

「……Me and Noin-dono?」

「Sigh…Well, what is it…?」

Noin-san, the sixth in the hierarchy of the Twelve Holy Apostles, and Edith-san, the seventh in the hierarchy of the Twelve Holy Apostles, are the『Wail of the Devil』and the『White Sword』.

Noin-san is a big magician who is always crying. It was Noin-san who taught me magic.

Edith-san is a noble knight who wishes for the peace of mankind more than anyone else. She is beautiful and admired by all swordsmen.

「…I heard this Leanne woman was a vampire… I see what you mean, I have a pretty good idea of what you’re talking about. Noin-dono. I believe……you told me that you missed a vampire eight years ago.」

「Gosh……Oh, that little girl from that time……No way, she’s……! Aha, Misery-sama! Please forgive me for my foolishness……!」

…? What do you mean?

Perhaps noticing our group of reincarnated people, Revels-sama explained it to us.

「……The vampire race was originally supposed to have been destroyed by Edith and Noin here eight years ago. Demon ribe and human tribe, under the guise of mutual non-interference, being discovered to have been secretly connected to the Demon Army. But in doing so, they missed one vampire child. The child was a vampire of such extraordinary strength that it could even be called a mutation, killing more than 20 of the remaining knights in the village……and has been missing ever since.」

「…So you’re saying this vampire is the Lean Bloodlord?」

「That’s right. So, Julia, what’s the message?」

「Yes, yes…『You are next. I will make you regret the crime of killing my father and mother, my friends, and all my friends. I will kill you myself…』.」

「……That’s a hell of a grudge.」

「Ugh, so sad…! I should have sent her to the underworld with he mother firmly at that time…!」

…I wonder if it is common knowledge that it is not acceptable in this world to destroy one race of people regardless of their women and children, no matter how connected they were with the Demon Army, is it not a pitiful quintessence?

「…Anyway, the enemy at hand has been determined. The『Four Demon Generals of the Demon Army』…First of all, our top priority is to get information on these people. For the time being, I am willing to send the top ranks of the Twelve Holy Apostles to the front… Each of you, be more vigilant than ever.」

「「Ha!」」

Thus ended the meeting to decide the future of humanity, in which a new threat was uncovered.

◆◇◆◇◆

「……Umm……Zeno-san.」

As I was walking down the hallway thinking about the Avis case, an S-rank adventurer who had just been in the conference room Julia-san called out to me.

「What’s wrong?」

「…As I recall, Zeno-san is…you were close to Avis-sama the Hero, weren’t you?」

「…Well, whether we were close or not, we were together quite a bit.」

I hated him, though.

「……That. This is a story I heard in my fading consciousness……I have no proof at all, it’s just a vague memory. That’s why I couldn’t talk about it there……But maybe you could……」

……? I wonder.

「What is it? Anything I can do to help you, please let me know.」

「T-There is a high possibility that I am mistaken. So I would like you to listen to me without thinking too much about it… Um, Avis-sama and his friends and the vampire named Lean……I think they were talking as if they knew each other.」

「……what?」

「Avis-sama and that vampire were…It seems that they called each other by different names…」

「Tell me more about that!」

「Well………I think it’s………」

「The vampire called Avis-sama…『Clodacun』, I seem to recall calling him by that name……」

Clodacun. Kuroda-kun.

Avis’s name in a previous life.

That…how did Lean Bloodroad know!

…From what I’ve heard, Kuroda and the others were……They were killed in a horribly cruel way.

If my worst guess is correct……It makes clear sense that she killed Kuroda and the others by making them suffer.

But I hope I’m wrong. I hope I’m wrong.

There is no way that『she』is the same person as Leanne Bloodroad. …….

「……Avis……What did he call this vampire?」

「Uh, uh……I’m sorry, my memory is a little fuzzy……」

「Please remember! Please!」

「Ugh……!」

Please, please be different.

Please……!

「Umm…! I’m pretty sure it’s……I think it’s……Sen……Yes,『Senjo』……I believe they called it Senjo.」

…………The moment I heard that.

My mind went blank.

AN: In case you are wondering, to the honor of the vampire tribe, they were not connected to the Demon Army. In the first place, they did not know that Phyllis, the Demon King, was a vampire.
That story was a hoax made up after the fact by a bunch of assholes who couldn’t tolerate the very idea of vampires being alive.
