Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind

Chapter 77

Former Hero's Revenge

Translated by AmaLynne

「A-Are you kidding me…?」

Never in my life have I doubted the scene before me so much.

――Three thousand soldiers were annihilated before a single swordsman.

Moreover, from the middle of the way, I even used《Maddened Berserker》which I hate because it is not beautiful, and still could not stop it.

What is it really, that monster?

Magician…I wouldn’t be surprised if this devastation was created by a magician like Sakura, who uses large-scale magic.

But that childish-looking enemy did this with a single sword.

If this continues, my life is in danger, not to mention this Clay fortress.

「Mia-sama, what to do…!」 

「Send the soldiers stationed here to defend the fort and retreat! We’ll teleport as soon as we escape from the Teleportation Sealing Wards. Magic will be blocked anyway, use cannons and bullets to stall them!」

It’s one thing for this fort to fall.

I don’t care if the soldiers died.

But I can’t stand the thought of dying here!

I don’t stand a chance against that monster.

Then I should retreat.

「Mia-sama, the elite of the enchanted demon tribe that is kept in the prison of this fortress are…」

「Of course, I’ll take them! We must hurry!」

◆◇◆◇◆

…That’s a big fort for nothing.

I can feel the「I’m not letting you through here」vibe.

Well, it’s none of my business, and any attempt to do so would be futile.

「……Shoot!」

Hmm?

……. It looks like they’ve learned that magic doesn’t work on me, so they’ve switched to guns and cannons.

But I don’t need to cut them down.

「…………No, it doesn’t work!」

「Damn it, what kind of defenses she has!?」

With over 30,000 defenses, bullets are like raindrops to me.

I don’t like cannonballs because they smell like smoke, but it doesn’t kill me if they hit me, and I have high resistance to abnormal conditions, so I won’t be suffocating from smoke for a while.

「Don’t let them in the fort! We need to buy time for Mia-sama to escape!」

「Ha!」

……Huh?

Wait a minute, that woman is trying to escape?

That’s not good. Even though I’d rather kill her here, both from a tactical and emotional standpoint.

「《Physical Enhancement――Super Acceleration》.」

I increase my speed and plunge into the fortress.

There were gatekeepers and assassins along the way, but I killed them all.

I also slashed the gate.

「Ah, she’s inside the fort!」

「This is not good. Fight back! Hurry up!」

Humans are so fragile.

Neck, torso, internal organs, brain…It is easy to die just by slashing or piercing those places.

Simply by shooting a bullet back at the brain with your sword at a greater velocity than it was released, you will die.

Just swinging a sword in an arc and cutting off all of its limbs will cause it to bleed to death.

Just by throwing away a sword held by an enemy, the person hit dies.

「Ahahahaha…my life was taken from me for such a purpose, to protect such a vulnerable and cowardly creature.」

Thinking about it makes me laugh beyond anger.

Oh, thank God.

I was worried. I’ve had a lot of peaceful days…Unlike Lean, I was afraid that I might have forgotten how to take revenge.

But I’m okay.

When I see people like this, I reflexively kill them.

And I don’t feel guilty about it.

「Well, time to clean up the trash, right…? Kill them all.」

◆◇◆◇◆

「Mia-sama! We are ready! Please hurry, that creature is almost upon us!」

「I know! Come on, come on…!」

The chapel at the far end of the fort.

This is the most important place in the fort, where Misery-sama is worshipped.

Here, there is a hidden passage for emergency escape.

「…Don’t dawdle, you lowly demons! Come quickly! Protect me!」

「…………」

I may have taken too long.

Damn it, why am I in this mess…!

――-BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

「Wha…what?」

「Ah, there you are…I finally found it. I’m glad I found it in time.」

「Y-You…!」

I was too far away to see her face at the time…but I’m sure.

I’m sure it’s the same monster that single-handedly wiped out all my servants.

I was so angry. She had silver hair just like me and a reasonably good-looking face.

And she looks like a child.

「P-Protect Mia-sama!」

「That’s right, I’m…」

「You’re in my way.」

「What? Argh!」

「Gghh…!」

「Wha? Y-You guys!」

…What happened? I couldn’t see at all.

In the blink of an eye, all my servants…!

「Y-You demons, protect me! Until I escape…」

「《Physical Boost――Intimidation Wave》.」

Before I could finish, something was emitted from the monster and…all of the demons stopped moving.

「Wha-what you…!?」

The ten demons here must have been the strongest and most elite of all the demons I had charmed.

And yet, how could they…!

「Now you’re all alone. What are you going to do, now that you no longer have a servant?」

And the monster slowly approached me.

◆◇◆◇◆

That was close.

She almost got away, you know.

At any rate, I’ve killed all the humans except for Mia, and I’ve crippled all the demons.

Now I can take my time and kill this woman.

「W-Wait…wait a minute! Let’s talk! …I don’t know who you are, and I’m not a warrior, so I can only have a brief grasp of who you are, but I can tell you that you are very strong…I know that you are as strong as or stronger than the top of the Twelve Holy Apostles! Therefore…!」

「…Huh. You know, that『charm』magic you’ve been using on the word is useless and obnoxious, so stop using it. If you still want to talk, I’ll listen.」

As I heard from Lean, I use the mother-in-law’s way.

「Gosh…! Fufu, fufufufu… Apparently, you still underestimated me. But, you forgot to mention that I am the Twelve Holy Apostles, didn’t you? If you think I’m a woman who can do nothing but charm…」

She said something, but I wasn’t interested and there were gaps all over the place, so I took the opportunity to slash her legs so he couldn’t escape.

「You’re very wrong…………I……? ……Ga, GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!」

Shut up…

You’re the Twelve Holy Apostles, and you haven’t even developed a pain tolerance.

「M-My feet, oh…My beautiful feet!」

「Ah, that’s it? …Huh. Really, you’re way too confident in your beauty. Besides, you should not only look at your face in the mirror once in a while, but you should also take a good look at other people’s faces. Hey, doesn’t my face remind you of something?」

「Hiiiiiiiiii…! Huh…huh…what?」

When she said that, Mia stared at my face…I’m not sure what to expect, but it doesn’t seem to ring a bell.

Well, of course. I’m sure my face has changed a lot since then. In the first place, this woman probably doesn’t remember the face of her sister, whom she thinks is long dead.

「…Yes, you were that kind of woman… I was surprised to hear that she was chosen as one of the Holy Twelve Apostles. I didn’t think that the pretentious queen of the village had risen that far in the world.」

「……wha, what are you……」

「You did a lot of things to me, didn’t you? I was three years younger than you, but you made me carry heavy things, you sat on me, you beat up the village children, you bullied me.」

「…? ………wha, what are you, really…?」

She doesn’t remember after hearing all this?

She’s a woman who doesn’t have enough brains, that’s for sure.

「When the village found out that my status was much higher than yours, and they made a fuss about me, you were secretly harassing me in the shadows…Well, that was okay, I didn’t think anything of it. I honestly wasn’t that mad about being bullied.」

「……? …………!!!!?」

…I wonder if she finally remembers that face.

「Still, I can’t forgive you for one thing…You laughed when I was taken to the capital as a Hero…You knew what I was about to go through, didn’t you? You knew and you let me go…Well, I didn’t think…I didn’t think you were that rotten.」

「Aa, aa, aaaa…You, no way……impossible…!?」

「What’s the matter, s~i~s~t~e~r? You’re shaking so much. Your sister just came to see you… Well, we’ll be saying goodbye soon.」
