"..."
All the courage I had mustered, all the decisions I had made, all the ambitions I had before, vanished in an instant.
Those eyes seemed to offer only a fleeting glance, but the vampire count saw endless malice and hunger.
It seems that as long as I actually take action, then in the next second—no, not even a second—everything about it will disappear from this world forever.
As the music played, the parade floats left the street, and only then did the vampire count feel that the indescribable fear had vanished.
"bump……"
Its knees slammed heavily onto the ground, its body trembling, yet it felt a sense of relief.
They're gone, finally gone, that monster, their king.
"What's wrong, sir? Why did you suddenly kneel down?"
"It probably looks like sadness and anger, anger at the death of our last king by the hero and the death of many of our people by the holy sword."
Yet, because he couldn't defeat the hero and couldn't take revenge, and because he couldn't reveal his guilt towards his clan at this time…
"As expected of the Earl, his mindset is truly different from ours!"
The vampire count was speechless at his subordinates who were still doing reading comprehension exercises and constantly nagging behind him.
No, is it possible that it was really so scared that its legs went weak and it couldn't speak?
Help! Help it up! It can't get up!
About half a minute later, his uncontrollable instincts gradually subsided, and Count Paige, who had been kneeling there for a while, was finally able to stand up.
It looked at the spot where it had just been kneeling; the wooden floor was now wet.
"Water? It didn't rain today, so where did the water come from?"
It wiped its forehead and looked at its soaked pants, and it got its answer.
"..."
Some things are better left unsaid.
The moment he regained his mobility, the vampire count led his demon horde away from the capital.
Forget about intelligence gathering and attending victory celebrations; it couldn't stand being in this damned capital for even a minute longer.
I'm afraid that tonight I'll go to sleep and suddenly see El standing by my bed.
"hiss……"
Halfway there, the vampire count gasped, unable to bear the thought any longer.
Because it was just imagining it in its mind, its fear was almost reignited, and it could have crashed.
"Sir, we've only just arrived, is it really appropriate to turn back now?"
"Yeah, it seems like they didn't notify the other teams either."
"All of you shut up. We've got the information we need. Stop wasting time."
Is now the time to gather intelligence?
As for the other teams, it wasn't that the vampire count intentionally wanted to keep them; he simply wanted to ensure his own survival.
It has already been discovered. If I leave some demons in the capital, maybe the Gluttonous Lord will eat those teammates instead of it.
"I'm so sorry, brothers, please save me! I'll remember your sacrifice!"
"Better to die than live, my friend!" That's its struggle for survival!
