Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~ Chapter 140.1: Vampire Count

Dark Knight; Kuroki

The flying ship was gliding forward in the sky, the scenery below it a sea of clouds.

Hou, it's faster than I expected, Kuroki. We're about to arrive in Ruvania.

Said Kuna happily while looking at the advancing ship.

Surely, the ship was fast. It only took a short ti after our departure from Nargol for us to arrive in the vicinity of Ruvania.

Ruvania was the region where the death capital, Modegal, the stronghold of Zarxis, was located.

Due to the miasma being released from Modegal, the region had transford into a barren one unfit for living creatures.

Ruvania was located in the northern side of the central continent, since it was always snowing over there no crops could be harvested, too.

Moreover, any creature that died in Modegal could easily beco an undead, and since the sunlight was also pretty weak, the region hence beca the most suitable place for Zarxis' kin.

That was the kind of place we were heading to right now.

Yeah Kuna. Never expected us to have a ride.

The flying ship we were using was given to us by Modes.

It was probably a gift for heading toward the death capital of Modegal.

Though it was a small one compared to Nagulfal, Modes' gigantic royal flying battleship, it was still pretty big considering the fact that Glorious could ride on it too.

In short, it was about the sa size as Alphos' flying ship.

Well then since we're about to arrive at Ruvania, what's your plan, Dark Knight? Gerogerogero.

Asked Heqat who rode the flying ship with us.

The one who had pushed for to go to Ruvania was Heqat. But, it seed that from the very beginning she had the intention to assist , hence her coming along to Ruvania.

Let's get the flying ship as close to Ruvania as we can. I'll go on my own to Modegal from there.

This was a mission to infiltrate the enemy territory.

Our presence would be noticed imdiately if we went into Ruvania with this flying ship. The sa would go if many people entered the region at the sa ti.

Thus the only option was infiltrating on my own.

This was the safest option considering the fact that I was also strong enough to stand on my own ground against Zarxis.

You can't, Kuroki. It's too dangerous for you to go on your own. Kuna will go with you.

Kuna rejected my plan.

Sorry Kuna. You stand out too much. That's why I can't take you with . I want you to stand by here unless theres an ergency.

Kuna was too ill suited for infiltration.

Heqat also agreed with my opinion in this regard. Though she could resist the miasma just like , she stood out too much.

Thus she could only stay here.

But, in that way, she could also act imdiately in case we got into an ergency situation.

Both Heqat and Kuna would definitely be able to work together.

If you say so Then you have to at least take them with you, Kuroki.

Said Kuna as she looked at Clown and Tibel.

Eh? Why though?

I asked in confusion.

Clown, who was a puppet, aside, it was too dangerous for Tibel.

You can use Clown as a scapegoat in case sothing happens. And Tibel is really suited for an infiltration mission. Shed be a great help to you, Kuroki.

Eh? But

I tried to refuse since Tibel would be put into a dangerous situation if she joined this mission.

Alas, Heqa stepped forward before I could finish my words.

Take them with you, Dark Knight. They'll be useful, and you don't want to make the silver girl worry about you, right? Gerogerogero.

Said Heqat as she laughed eerily.

It seems she was hinting sothing to .

I understand, Heqat-dono.

Since this was a suggestion that ca from the archwitch whose intellect was comparable to that of Loughas, I guess she had a reason for making that suggestion.

I couldn't help but abide by her since she told not to make Kuna worry about .

Your Excellency, weve arrived.

During my conversation with Kuna and co, Guno and the others, who were riding the wyvern to scout the surrounding area, returned to give us a report.

The female knights of the daemon race had also tagged along in this mission.

Originally, I had planned to be the only one to go on this mission, of course taking Glorious. But then, Modes said it was too reckless, thus resulting in a crowd of people following after .

And, since I didn't take Kuna with back when I went to Gypseal, she of course had to tag along this ti. Tibel the dark fairy and Clown the puppet, who ca with her, would be the ones to infiltrate with .

Since there were all of these people, the deck of the ship was really busy.

Thank you for the hard work, Guno-dono. Do you want a hot drink to warm you up?

As I asked, Guno's face frowned.

Uhm, Your Excellency. I saw angels appearing around Ruvania. At this rate, we will be discovered.

Angels?

This reminded that the Gods of Elios also knew that Zarxis had already returned to Modegal.

I recalled Heibos' remark about this matter.

Maybe they're already standing by near Ruvania.

But, they're not the problem.

I felt a hostile intent from above our flying ship.

It seems they had tailed Guno and co.

HAAAAAAAAAA!

Suddenly, soone ca down from above.

I took out my demon sword and leapt upward to "Welco" that person.

CLANG!

Swords clashed in midair.

That mont, I confird the identity of the person who ca from above.

He was a fire-like, red haired angel whose head was covered with a helt just like .

The red-haired angel leapt upward as if flipped by my sword, then spun in the air as he took so distance from .

As for , I landed safely by Kuna's side.

We et again, Dark Knight! Ive co to take the debt of that ti!

The red-haired angel bellowed as flas spurted from his body.

Have we t before?

I an, I seriously had no idea who in the world was the angel that stood before .

This should be the first ti I et him.

You don't rember! We're the Holy Knights who fought you when you returned after raiding Rena-sama's temple.

Said the red-haired angel, annoyed by the fact that I had completely forgotten about his existence.

He might be referring to the temple of Rena in the Holy Republic of Lenaria. Which reminds that I did fight the Holy Knight's corps on the way back from there.

And the red-haired angel before must be one of them.

Upon a closer look, I saw Holy Knights riding on a number of pegasus behind the Angel in front of us, who was among them.

This was an awkward situation.

My na is Atar! The right-hand man of the White Noble Holy Knight, Alphos-sama, and also the vice chief of the Chivalric order of Holy Knights! Dark Knight, fight !

The Angel called Atar shouted loudly.

Still, I didn't really want to fight in this situation.

I an, not when our mutual enemy, Zarxis, was right in front of us.

Fighting in front of a dangerous enemy was the most stupid thing to do.

And the Angel before should've co to investigate Zarxis, too.

He didn't originally co to fight .

And yet, it seems he was brimming with fighting spirit the mont he saw .

I heaved a sigh.

Wait a minute! Atar!

Soone finally caught up to Atar in the nick of ti to stop the latter.

This was my second eting with the guy who rode on that white dragon.

Don't stop , Alphos-sama!

Replied Atar without turning around.

Alphos had co to this region, too.

Well, that might be natural since this guy seems to be the only one who could fight Zarxis among the Gods of Elios.

You can't win against him, Atar! He's soone who can fight on par with inside the crystal garden! Are you still going to challenge him after knowing that?

Atar looked really surprised, it seems he never expected such a remark to co from Alphos.

On par? Muttered Kuna with a displeased look on her face upon hearing such a blatant lie coming from Alphos.

Seriously? How can there be soone who can fight on par against Alphos-sama in his crystal garden? I can't believe it, he must have cheated.

Atar seed to have lost his fighting spirit.

That's a relief.

With this, we avoided a quarrel with the Angels.

And Alphos was obviously not coming to pick a fight with , too.
