Vampire Princess vs Hero 2

Translated by AmaLynne

TN: Another hard-to-translate chapter >.< I have a feeling that all battle chapters will be hard to translate. Enjoy~

「…! Ouch…!」

My right hand was cut off.

Unimaginable pain…It’s not so bad, but it’s still super painful!

I think the reason why the pain is not so bad is one of the benefits of the moon’s blessing, the pain-numbing effect.

「Aaah! Even Kane-san got hit!」

「But she managed to cut off one of her hands! I’m sure that’s all it takes…」

Before the priest could finish, I moved away from her, catching the slashed right hand at full speed, and attached my right hand along the cut area.

「《Intermediate Healing》!」

I repeatedly chanted the greatest healing magic I could use at the moment.

「…Phew. Okay, it’s attached.」

Originally,《Intermediate Healing》is a magic that can heal a serious injury like a broken bone, but I used my high magic power to forcefully increase its performance.

「No way!」

「You can’t be serious…!?」

「Don’t underestimate a vampire on a full moon night!」

However, it is still a pinch.

….I knew it, but the strength of the hero is unusual.

If I let my guard down just a little bit, she’ll unleash a deadly slash. She should be far below me in terms of status, but she is better than me at using that status.

「…………」

「You’re still as dumb as ever, I see… Well, of course, because you’re broken…

Do you think I’m going to let this go on without a word?」

◆◇◆◇◆

I wonder how long we fought.

Physically speaking….20 minutes?

The battlefield has moved on and we are now entering a battle in the forest.

I still hadn’t been able to defeat not only the hero, but even the magician and the priest.

This is because the hero protects them.

…Maybe the warrior and the martial artist were not that important. They couldn’t raise the power of the hero. Maybe they were just considered as a way to get rid of the exposure.

But the magician and the priest are different. The magician has been attaching buff magic to the hero and if the heroes take minor damage, the priests heal them right away.

Because she knows the usefulness of it…or because she was taught it, the hero continues to protect them.

「…………」

「Guh!?」

The hero slash catches me again and rips my side.

「《Intermediate Healing》!」

I’d heal it in a heartbeat, but I can’t fire offensive magic in excess because I’d need this so badly!

「Oh, my God, she’s so stubborn! Hero-sama, kill her quickly!」

「……She’s moving too fast. If only we could somehow slow her down…」

Ahh geez, they are so annoying!

Can’t I kill those two somehow…?

……Ah, it just hit me.

Why didn’t I notice this simple thing?

「《Create Oil》.」

With a large amount of magic power, I rained oil all over the surrounding area.

「Whoa, what’s this?」

「This is oil…shit…!」

Okay, then, let’s light it.

「《Ignition》!」

What happens when you set fire to a heavily oiled area…It’s clearer than seeing fire…No, I’m looking at the fire right now, right?

「Gyaaaaaaa!!!」

「Hot, hot, hot!」

Wow, it’s so loud.

I burned them because they were being so loud and annoying earlier, but now they’re even louder. Well, they’re going to die soon, so I guess it’s okay.

……. As I was thinking, the hero suddenly jumped into the sea of fire.

Then, as she approached the two, she swung her sword again and again… Then the fire around them disappeared.

…Oh, so she created a vacuum for a moment by swinging her sword. And she did it so fast that the fire was extinguished.

That’s a real cheat, isn’t it?

「Oh, thank God…」

「Thank you, Hero-sama!」

And the hero came back to me again.

Oh well, I guess I didn’t burn it down.

……Well, so far as I expected.

「……Huh? G, gah……!」

「What, this…!?」

Arere? What’s going on~

The two of them suddenly started to suffer. Ah, they collapsed.

The hero turned her attention toward the magician and the priest but did not go to help them.

The hero has had her mind destroyed. It may be a reasonable measure to use it as a living weapon. But on the contrary,「I can’t give up just because I don’t know how to help! I’m going to help you now!」…That means other also been destroyed.

I guess the hero didn’t understand why they were suffering. So she can’t deal with it. Unrescueable. If she got too close, she might end up in the same situation. That’s why she doesn’t go to help. That’s about it.

「Ah……hi……」

「Hero-sama……help……」

What I did was manipulate gases with wind magic, Wind Manipulation.

The carbon monoxide was moved by manipulating the wind and trapped around the two by the wind.

Naturally, the two men suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning and eventually died.

TN

Well, how would an eight-year-old kid normally know about that?

Most deaths from a fire are caused by carbon monoxide poisoning from smoke.

「……Well, now it’s one against one, hero. What do we do now? No more friends, though?」

「…………」

All your friends have been killed, and you don’t even change your color, huh?

You are dead inside, aren’t you?

「Well, I’ll let you fall asleep quickly…《Sleep》.」

I tried to release one of the mental magic, the magic to put the target to sleep, but she seemed unconcerned. It seems to have resisted normally.

「Well, it’s impossible…oops!?」

The hero suddenly slashed at me!

I was able to avoid it…but she chased after me!

「Because her friends are gone and she has nothing left to protect… She switched tactics!」

Oh shit, I should have stopped at just putting one of the two guys to sleep earlier!

Even with my dynamic vision, I can barely dodge the attacks that come flying at me.

…No correction, it looks like a mess, but it’s horribly accurate, and it’s aimed at my vital spot!

「Gosh… Don’t get carried away!」

Despite receiving minor wounds, I held back the hero’s hand holding the sword, and give her a low kick, but… No good, she flew back just before and the power weakened.

◆◇◆◇◆

「Really… I’m sick of PS cheats…」

Her ability is… Really close to Gray-san at this point.

If I let her escape here, she will gain strength again, and she will grow so strong that even Gray-san and the others will not be able to handle her this time.

The only one who can stop her is the Demon King-sama this time.

「As her subordinate, I don’t want to be that pathetic…」

I’m going to catch her here no matter what.

Absolutely.

There is a trump card for that, in case you’re wondering.

……And, apart from that, the words that have been echoing in my head.

《The conditions for the advancement of a higher occupation class have been met. You can change your occupation from the special occupation class『Avenger』to『Vengeful Demon』. Do you wish to execute it?》

TN

The condition is…maybe kill a certain number of revenge targets?

Of course, I’ll change jobs.

《Approval confirmed. Lean Bloodlord’s occupation has advanced to『Vengeful Demon』.》

AN: Now, the second round is about to begin.

I plan to keep evolving her class, but for the first evolution, let’s go with「Vengeful Demon」in honor of the demon! I’ve decided to do that…

I was scared when someone guessed the name on the feedback page.
