CH 59

Vampire Princess and the Fall of a Nation

Translated by AmaLynne

A few days after the destruction of one of the cities in the Kingdom of Alvera.

Rest and paperwork, planning, meeting with the Demon King-sama using a crystal-type magic item because I can’t use Telepathy when I’m this far away, and discussions with Shelly-san, my second-in-command this time.

…After a busy few days, we were on our way to the next battlefield――the metropolis of the Kingdom of Alvera, where『General Disaster』Rain-san was waiting for us.

Taking the carriage allocated to the Demon King’s Army executive, we were slowly making our way along the last row, gazing out of the window, enjoying a short rest.

「Ahhhh… Rest is wonderful.」

「With all due respect, we are not at rest at the moment. I think we should use this time to prepare ourselves for the new battlefield.」

「That’s not what I’m talking about… The next battlefield, Rain-san is there, isn’t it? And today is the tenth moon of the night. The moon is between half moon and full moon, and my status is quintupled at night. To tell the truth, with Rain-san and me receiving the blessing of the moon, I don’t think I would lose even if four or five of the Twelve Holy Apostles came together. With such a null game in front of me, why should I tense up…?」

「………I understand your feelings, but…」

Unlike Sakura-kun and Gray-san, Rain-san has reached the level limiter. In other words, she can’t get stronger anymore… But her level is 160.

The fairies have the innate power to manipulate the weather. But she is a cut above the rest of the fairy tribe.

She can make lightning fall like rain, and huge hailstones like meteorites. She is truly a disaster. Hence, she is the『General Disaster』.

To be frank, I’m sorry to all the soldiers of the Demon King’s Army, but even if they set up a perimeter around the city and just the two of us, Rain-san and I, went in, the city would probably be destroyed.

「The other side is probably screaming at the mere sight of Rain-san. If it’s a large city, I’m sure they have a very high level of wards, and I’m sure there are numerous warding artists to repair the wards. With the magician I brought to destroy the ward on our side, Rain-san weather control, and my status, it won’t take long to destroy. Once the ward is destroyed, the rest is easy, just a series of lightning strikes from Rain-san and it’s over. Oh, that’s easy. Sorting out the paperwork is a much more tedious job.」

「Well, Rain-sama weather manipulation is indeed tremendous, and Lean-sama moon blessing is also uncanny, but…」

So, there is not much need to get worked up.

Rather, in a big city, there are a lot of people. I’m looking forward to killing them all.

To be honest, the city battle is like a bonus time for me.

Of course, I won’t let my guard down. There are always some skilled people in each city, not to mention the Twelve Holy Apostles. Just like the lady knight a while ago.

But on the other hand, as long as you are careful about them, there is no problem.

So I got tired of looking out the window, and decided to go to bed.

「Please wake me up when we get there…good night…」

「…You are like a child. ……. Oh, you’re still a child, aren’t you? …Sometimes I forget that you are 13 years old…」

Rude.

In my previous life, I’m a sparkling JK.

◆◇◆◇◆

A few hours in the carriage.

Feeling refreshed and sleepy, we arrived at the rendezvous point.

「Rain-san, it`s been a while.」

「Ah, Lean. It’s been a long time. I see. So it’s Lean who’s coming.」

「Yes, it is. Is something wrong?」

「No, not at all. I’m just glad you’re here. It makes my work go faster.」

「That’s good to know.」

I’m glad to see that Rain-san is doing well.

If you stare into the distance, you will see an annoyingly large wall. That must be the big city.

「So, what’s the plan?」

「As usual. Me and the magician will destroy the wards, followed by lightning and hail. The mess is then…」

「So it’s a raid.」

「Yes. This is just a stepping stone to the country’s fall, so don’t let your guard down just because we’ve overrun this place, okay?」

「I won’t. So, the Kingdom of Alvera is going to fall after all?」

「It’s just too much work.」

The Kingdom of Alvera is a country that produces a large number of warding and enchanter, and is skilled in defensive warfare.

Because of this country’s populace of mainly defensive warriors, we have been unable to attack and retreat.

……. I’m getting tired of this eyesore.

「We’ll destroy it in two months. That’s why you and I are working together.」

「Destroy a country in two months. That’s a pretty big ask, isn’t it?」

「You can’t?」

「Yes, I can.」

I said it was reckless, but it’s a different story if Rain-san and I are going to work together on a joint operation.

Considering our strength ratio, our defenses, and our destructive power…

「…A little over a month and a half.」

「Something like that, I think. Well, if other countries don’t intervene along the way.」

「Then let’s destroy them quickly. For starters, we’ll start with that city. As soon as my moon blessing is activated, the operation will begin, is that correct?」

「Yes, that’s right.」

And then, ten minutes later.

The sun set and the operation began.

◆◇◆◇◆

As I stared blankly at the natural disaster happening right in front of me, as if it were someone else’s problem, I thought to myself.

After all, living things are no match for nature, like so.

No matter how many levels you raise, how much you train yourself, and how many different enemies you slaughter, it is still only strength within the framework of a living creature.

No matter how strong a warrior is, if he is less than level 100, just being struck by lightning is enough to inflict serious damage.

So, what I am trying to say is this.

「It’s time to die, you humans! Ahh geez, hurry up and break your wards, you’re such a pain in the ass…」

…I’m talking about Rain-san, who I don’t want to make enemies with.

My hearing is sharp, not only because I am a vampire, but also because it is now enhanced by my magic.

Those ears were picking up human voices inside the city.

「Aaahhhh! Aaahhhh! What the hell is this?」

「Why so much lightning and…chunks of ice!?」

「Damn, if this keeps up, the wards will be destroyed!」

「Li, lightning, ice……Ra, Rain…? It’s Rain! D-D-D-Demon King’s Army’s executive…The『General Disaster』, Rain Fairylord!!」

「Ra, Ra, Ra, Ra, Rain? Don’t be silly, why is such a monster here!?!? Call the capital for backup! Hurry up!」

……. I knew it, but I wonder how much they fear you, Rain-san.

Seriously, I’m glad you’re on our side.

「Ahh Ge―ez, the ward is stronger than I thought. And there are more warders over there…」

「Can’t you destroy it?」

「I can, but it’ll take a while. Sorry.」

「No, that’s okay…」

「Hey, rejoice! The Capital has informed me that the Kingsguard will be coming to support us! In two minutes, weaken the Transference Sealing Ward for five second!」

……

…………Hmph.

「Hey Lean, you can help too…What’s wrong?」

「I’ve got information, Rain-san. In two minutes, for five seconds, the Transference Sealing Ward will be weakened to receive reinforcements from the capital.」

「Really…? Then gather soldiers who can use transfer magic…」

「No, it will only be weakened, so I don’t think it will be possible with ordinary transfer magic. So, I’ll go alone for a while.」

「…I see. Kill all the warders and enchanter inside, and then destroy the magic items that are warding to weaken the output of the wards… You’re still a very clever guy, aren’t you?」

「Not so much. Even if that is not the case, the reinforcement from the capital city may cause serious damage to our soldiers. I’ll go and wipe them out a little bit, too.」

…And two minutes of waiting.

「Okay, weaken it! One…Two…」

「Then I’m off. 《Greater Teleportation》.」

「Three…Four…Five! Okay, bring it back! We have been waiting for you, Knights of the Kingsguard! I am sorry, but there is no time to spare.」

「I know, we intend to…Who are you?」

My, I’ve already been exposed. Well, no one has crimson eyes, so it’s no surprise.

「Greetings, fools of the Kingdom of Alvera. I am Lean Bloodlord, the fifth-ranking executive of the Demon King’s Army, the『Bloodthirsty  General』. Sorry to be so quick, but…Die, all of you.」

Now, let’s lay waste.

And if I don’t kill the warder soon, she will be pissed…I’d say we’ve got about five minutes of fun.

I know it’s short, but let’s have fun.
