Killer Demon and Vampire

"Aaaaaaaahh...

That sounded nothing like a human's.

Fang Li had heard that cry before.

Right after Main God Space, when entering the first Instance World.

In the world called "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress," there exist beings known as immortal monsters— the Kabane.

Now, the thing that is shouting loudly in front of Fang Li is almost no different from that one.

In other words, the person in front of you is also a monster.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the victim, whose blood was being drained by the monster, was shoved away and slammed against the wall, staining it crimson with blood.

Immediately, the monster, roaring like a ferocious beast, charged towards Fang Li with movements unlike anything human could do, as if it were pouncing.

That speed is something that ordinary humans cannot achieve.

It's not just the way they exist; the monsters before us have physical abilities no different from the Kabane, surpassing those of ordinary humans.

However, Fang Li simply stared silently at the inhuman being that was lunging at him.

Inhuman monsters?

So what?

Fang Li has encountered countless beings like this to date.

Similar to Kabane?

So what?

"I don't know how many of those things I killed when my stats were so bad that I couldn't even stand them anymore."

Therefore, Fang Li didn't even use his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception when faced with the non-human monster that pounced on him.

"Thud..."

The dagger, dazzling like a waning moon, fell into his palm.

"Pfft—!"

Amidst a tearing sound like ripping silk, crimson blood splattered across the sky.

The dagger, dazzling like a crescent moon, flashed past like a silver streak.

The inhuman monster brushed past Fang Li.

Then, it stopped behind it.

Upon closer inspection.

At the waist of that inhuman monster, a white line cleanly cleaved it in two.

Then, in the next second, the person's upper and lower body separated at the same time, one sliding to the left and the other to the right, and finally, with a "bang", they fell to the ground.

Fang Li then turned around and looked over.

Almost at the same time, the two pieces of corpse lying on the ground stirred.

"Laugh..."

A sound like flames rising from the sky rang out.

The two pieces of corpse lying on the ground seemed to turn to ashes, gradually evaporating and disappearing from the spot.

Fang Li calmly watched this scene and murmured to himself.

"An existence like the Kabane."

"Disappeared like an aragami."

"Is this what they call the dead?"

----"deceased".

This does not refer to humans who have already died.

No.

In a sense, that inhuman monster was indeed a human who had already died.

In the very instant that the vampire drained his blood.

Yes.

vampire.

In this world, there exists a species called "vampires".

Just as described in the legends.

They drink blood and feed on humans.

They live in the night, hunting freely.

They are able to drain the blood from the dead and turn them into their own kind.

The so-called dead are those whose blood has been unilaterally drained by vampires and used as servants to collect food for them.

Its function is similar to that of Phosphorus in the world of "Shakugan no Shana".

The difference is that phosphorus is merely a tool that Crimson Realm Denizens can create at will using their Power of Existence.

The dead, however, need to devour the blood of living humans before using their corpses to create something.

When Fang Li saw the dead man, the dense, spiderweb-like lines covering his body told him just how close these guys were to death.

This shows what kind of existence the deceased truly was.

"But where is the guy pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

Fang Li muttered to himself.

Fang Li, certainly knows who the vampire who created these dead is.

The location where he was hiding was also mentioned in the original work.

However, Fang Li had already visited those places before even reaching the streets.

However, they couldn't find a single person.

"After all..."

Fang Li raised his head and looked at the night sky and the full moon.

"This is the time when vampires are most active..."

In other words, the other party is very likely wandering around outside right now and eating.

"It seems tonight is destined to be a sleepless night..."

As he said this, Fang Li smiled slightly.

Footsteps began to move through the alley.

Perhaps even the vampire hiding behind the scenes didn't expect this?

A real Killer Demon has infiltrated this city.

Humans are the prey of vampires.

Vampires, however, are the prey of Killer Demon.

Thus, silent killings continued to occur throughout Misaki City that night.

Until dawn.

The sky gradually brightened.

On the first floor of the west wing of the Tohno family mansion, Kohaku arrived at Fang Li's room, reached out, and knocked on the door.

"Mr. Fang Li, I'm coming in."

With that, Kohaku pushed the door open without any hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Kohaku came into view.

Fang Li was fast asleep in bed.

Looking at the Fang Li, Kohaku put her hands on her hips and spoke up as if she were a little angry.

"Mr. Fang Li, you are not qualified to be a butler!"

After saying that, Kohaku went straight forward and pulled the blanket off Fang Li.

"Um?"

Fang Li finally woke up, rubbing his eyes as he propped himself up. After yawning, he sleepily waved to Kohaku.

Good morning.

Hearing Fang Li's completely unnerved voice and seeing Fang Li sleepy expression, Kohaku grew increasingly angry.

"Mr. Fang Li, you are a butler." Kohaku said to Fang Li, "Miss Akiba is already up, and you are still sleeping. This is really outrageous."

As she spoke, Kohaku forcefully pulled Fang Li, who was still lying in bed Fang Li the bed.

"Alright, hurry up and wash up, then come with me to see Miss Akiba."

Fang Li didn't even have time to answer before Kohaku pulled him away, and they staggered out of the room.

A slight chill still lingered in the living room in the early morning.

When Fang Li finished washing up and came to the living room, Tohno Akiha was already drinking Black Tea under the service of Hisui.

As Fang Li walked through the door, Tohno Akiha turned her gaze to him.

His eyes were incredibly stern.

Seeing this, Fang Li surrendered decisively.

"Young Miss, please stop nagging me. I've already been scolded by Kohaku enough, haven't I?"

Upon hearing this, Tohno Akiha didn't say anything, but simply hummed and uttered this sentence.

"You can stay home with Kohaku today and familiarize yourself with your work. Then, go pick up people in the evening."
