An Unforgivable Existence

"I..."

Arcueid was completely stunned.

My brain isn't functioning properly.

I want to refute it, but I can't find any convincing arguments.

Arcueid, who has always considered superfluous things unnecessary, is now being asked to do those superfluous things on his own initiative. How can Arcueid accept this?

However, there is one thing Arcueid is certain of.

"Indeed, it would be very enjoyable to do these things."

Therefore, no matter how confused her mind was, Arcueid's heart expressed a sense of agreement and exhilarating joy beforehand.

"Chatting is fun, shopping is fun, and having someone to play with is also fun."

Although, for Arcueid, who was not given any other mission from birth, these things might really be superfluous.

Even if something is superfluous, as long as it makes you happy after you do it, then it's not worthless.

At least, Arcueid felt that the few days he spent in this city were the most important experience of his life compared to the past eight hundred years.

There is no other.

"Anyway, no one is asking you to exterminate vampires anymore. Even the True Ancestor except you have all been wiped out, right?" Fang Li smiled slightly and said to Arcueid, "In that case, you can do whatever you want. No one will restrict you."

This is Arcueid now, and Arcueid will be in the future.

"Perhaps, it was fate that I met you here?"

Fang Li shrugged and said this.

"Perhaps it is fate that has sent me to give you back eight hundred years of time, who knows?"

Despite the lack of any basis in the statement, Arcueid immediately turned her gaze to Fang Li.

His crimson eyes were filled with joy.

"Is it destiny?" Arcueid didn't hide her feelings and said very directly, "That's a very happy destiny."

This was the first time True Ancestor, who had always been tormented by fate, had such thoughts.

"But before that, there is one thing I want to do first, no matter what."

Arcueid raised her head and looked up at the sky. In her crimson eyes, the joy gradually transformed into determination.

"That means we must first eliminate the 'snake'."

His words were filled with an unyielding stubbornness.

This time, Fang Li did not refute it.

Because Fang Li knew that, for Arcueid, the Dead Apostle known as "Snakes" were beings that could absolutely not be allowed to run rampant.

That was Arcueid's sin, and Arcueid's karma.

Arcueid has a duty to exterminate this vampire.

Even if Arcueid has to maintain the same way of doing things for the next eight hundred years, as long as it can eliminate the "snake", it will continue to do so.

This matter is not a secret within the industry.

As mentioned before, the original Dead Apostle were transformed from humans into vampires because they were drained of blood by the True Ancestor.

However, not all of these humans who are being drained of blood are acting against their will.

Among humans, a segment of those who voluntarily became Dead Apostle in pursuit of immense power and immortality.

Eight hundred years ago, there was a man who, in order to obtain endless life, attempted to have the True Ancestor drink his blood and become Dead Apostle.

Therefore, this person deceived Arcueid.

That was when Arcueid first felt the urge to drink blood.

Having received no knowledge beyond combat from the True Ancestor, the princess felt bewildered and fearful about her sudden mutation, and ultimately became the target of this person's attention.

Because vampires who are transformed into Dead Apostle by having their blood drunk by the True Ancestor have their power and potential determined by the power of the True Ancestor who drank their blood.

The stronger the True Ancestor who drinks his own blood, the stronger he becomes after becoming Dead Apostle.

Arcueid is undoubtedly the strongest among the True Ancestor.

Even when using most of her power to suppress her vampiric urges, Arcueid was still able to annihilate the Fallen True Ancestor was unleashing his full power without restraint. Her strength was among the strongest in this world.

So this man deceived Arcueid, causing Arcueid, who was unaware of her vampiric urges, to drink his blood and steal a portion of Arcueid's power, turning her into Dead Apostle.

As for Arcueid, because he drank human blood, he fell into a state of complete depravity.

Eight hundred years ago, Arcueid had annihilated all the corrupted True Ancestor, leaving only the factions that had not fallen into True Ancestor.

However, that rampage led Arcueid to kill all the True Ancestor who had not fallen, leaving only himself alive in the end.

Awakening in a blood-soaked hell, Arcueid, realizing the devastation she had caused, collapsed on the spot and chose to fall into a deep sleep.

However, before falling into a deep sleep, Arcueid could not forgive the person who had deceived her.

That is a "snake".

A princess who deceived the True Ancestor and thus became a Dead Apostle vampire.

Arcueid killed the vampire.

But that was only temporary.

This vampire is called "Snake" because, like a snake that can shed its skin and regenerate, even if it is killed, it can still transfer its soul into the body of an unborn baby, thus achieving the purpose of resurrection.

Just like Petelgeuse, this vampire achieves indirect immortality by changing bodies and constantly reincarnating.

Therefore, Arcueid has been hunting the "serpent" since eight hundred years ago.

Whenever the "Snake" successfully reincarnates and awakens from its newborn body, Arcueid will awaken from its long slumber and begin its hunt for the "Snake".

I'll go to sleep after I've killed them.

Kill them as soon as they wake up.

Princess "Hime," who was the True Ancestor, and the "snake" who deceived the princess maintained a relationship of killing and being killed for a full eight hundred years.

This time is the same.

Arcueid came to Misaki City in order to kill the "Snake" Dead Apostle had been reincarnated and awakened there.

so...

"Only that 'Snake' guy is absolutely unforgivable."

Arcueid said this without any hesitation.

Fang Li responded with a faint smile.

"Since this is the second eight hundred years that we finally obtained, there is no reason to waste it on something like this."

"I will also take action."

Upon hearing this, Arcueid's eyes lit up, and she gripped Fang Li's hand tightly, shaking it up and down with great joy.

"Yes! With Fang Li here, there won't be any problems!"

At this moment, Arcueid's smile was more beautiful than ever before.

Fang Li can be absolutely certain.

I'll probably never forget that expression for the rest of my life.
