Dente Has Serious Presence / 32. Dente Gets Humbled in No Time

So what kind of creature needs to block out sunlight?

Chapter 213 Dente has a very high-class image.

"A light-blocking barrier, capturing humans who have strayed into this place, so that's how it is..."

Cong Yu spoke simply, and sitting in his chair, he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems some strange fellows have moved in during the holidays."

"..." Yaochuan Guang blinked, unsure of what Cong Yu was talking about. "Huh? What? Someone moved in? A weirdo?"

If we're going by category, he could definitely be considered an eccentric.

As she was thinking, a girl's voice suddenly came from the direction of the library window...

"Right, if we're going by classification, that guy could pretty much be categorized as an oddball... but there are some differences too."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, slender girl in red sitting on the windowsill, together with...

Her deep red hair hung down.

"A magical girl?"

Lantian Zhu wondered this, while the magical girl in red gracefully jumped up from the windowsill.

The cross pendant on her chest swayed gently, making a crisp sound, and the bulging of her clothes also produced a clinking sound like glass.

"Risposta corretta!"

In response, the magical girl snapped her fingers, pointed at Lantian Zhu, circled her head, and finally focused her gaze on Cong Yu: "..."

Is this person male or female?

This question was clearly visible in the eyes of this magical girl... but before that...

"Cong Yu- chan, what language is she speaking?"

Yaochuan Guang asked, poking Cong Yu's waist, and Cong Yu simply replied, "Italy... means 'you guessed right' or something like that."

The magical girl nodded immediately in response to Cong Yu's words and introduced herself, "My apologies, I am a magical girl belonging to the New New Vatican Church, Blood-Hunting Division, codename Dente. You can just call me D."

"..." This statement didn't contain a lot of information; at least Cong Yu and Lantian Zhu nodded in understanding, but it was actually quite significant...

At least for Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui, the amount of information wasn't significant.

What is the New New Vatican?

Yaochuan Guang asked Cong Yu in a low voice...

"Because the Vatican City was destroyed and occupied, and then magical girls from Europe joined forces to take it back... so it's the New New Vatican."

Cong Yu explained simply, and continued as the other person nodded, "The first Shinichi was a Shinichi ruled by monsters, and the second Shinichi was a Shinichi that was successfully reclaimed."

"It's a miracle created by the combined efforts of humanity."

As Cong Yu explained, Xiao Cui nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then what is the Blood-Hunting Division? Is it for hunting blood?"

In response to Xiao Cui's words, the magical girl in red immediately explained, "To be precise, it's about hunting Vampire."

However, it was clear that none of the magical girls present were very familiar with the term "Vampire."

After all, there aren't many works about Vampire in this world.

There were no movies, novels, or animations.

In a world where Vampire truly exist, don't expect people to still have any romanticized notions about Vampire.

Of course, if they can't make a romanticized version like Twilight X City, does that mean they can make a movie that depicts the horror of Vampire?

For example, Dracula.

That's overthinking it... Do you think Vampire would be happy to let you film like that?

I'll turn you into a corpse on the spot, then leave you to bake in the sun for three days and three nights until you're covered in ashes.

"Interpreting it as immortality is even more absurd, but it can be contained through methods, and it has obvious weaknesses. Large groups with the initiative and convenience to transform ordinary people into monsters of their own kind are sufficient."

Cong Yu explained the concept of Vampire to the three of them in a slightly complicated but simple and easy-to-understand way.

This piqued D's interest.

"Hey buddy, you're quite knowledgeable. Have you dealt with the Church before? Or have you met the Affinity Faction Vampire?"

After a moment of silence, Cong Yu nodded, looked at the other person, and said with a slight sigh, "I've met a magical girl who belongs to the Church."

As Cong Yu spoke, he felt a slight ache in his ribs... He had been kicked so hard by three flying kicks that he almost flew into the air back then.

Lantian Zhu looked thoughtful.

"Ah?!"

Yaochuan Guang's mouth dropped open; she was genuinely shocked. "How do you all know Cong Yu- chan? And it seems like you know everything about her?"

Although Yaochuan Guang knew that Cong Yu had many friends, it had somehow reached the point where everyone on the "Inner Side" and "Outer Side" sides was an acquaintance.

"I don't know everything, I only know what I know... Well, that's all."

Cong Yu said this, he shrugged and addressed the other person, "So, I'll leave this place to you?"

Amid Cong Yu's questions, D sat down at the table, watching the light streaming in from the window gradually dim. "Approximately?"

Don't answer questions with questions...

"I sailed all the way across the sea to the Far East to catch that Vampire... He's my prey, so leave everything to me."

The red-clad, red-haired magical girl spoke, somewhat embarrassedly pulling a wooden stake and a jar of holy water from inside her coat. "I really wanted to say that."

Lantian Zhu immediately understood everything. She nodded seriously. "In other words, you're applying for our help."

"..."

"No, to be precise, I hope you can protect yourselves... because that Vampire is no weakling."

As the magical girl spoke, she lightly placed her hand on the holy water bottle, then poured the water over her head.

Soon, the clear holy water covered her entire body.

Then, as the holy water was consumed, all the bullets stored in the bottle were poured out and held in her hand.

"I want to warn you, you've already been targeted. The moment darkness falls, we'll all be that guy's prey."

So it is said

The sky outside gradually darkened, and the fiery red sunset began to set.

The glow in the eyes of the four magical girls present gradually became more pronounced.

"That's a 'Vampire Prince,' which, in terms of equivalents, you can probably think of it as Unconfirmed Codename... that is, King Level monster."

The magical girl who called herself "D" finished Loading the bullets into her large-caliber pistol as she said this.

Lantian Zhu: "!!!"

Yaochuan Guang: "!!!"

Having met the "King" in person, the two fully understood how terrifying he was, and also deeply realized why D was so serious.

Even though Xiao Cui knew nothing about this, she immediately became serious and prepared for battle.

What about Cong Yu?

Ah, Cong Yu also tried his best to remain serious, but in his heart, he was more speechless than serious.

Because this guy is talking nonsense...

This magical girl from the Church is only about as strong as Yaochuan Guang... If she can even hunt this Vampire, then she's pretty capable.

That Vampire is at most a count in terms of strength.

Besides...

How can Vampire Prince be compared to a "king"?!

--

Yaochuan Guang and Lantian Zhu: Wow, such a powerful senior! Hunting King Level all by himself?!

D: Hehe, it feels so good to show off in front of a junior who doesn't know anything!

Chapter 214 Dente Quickly Suffers a Setback

Dente (teeth)

The magical girl from the New New Vatican Church, Blood-Hunting Division... Her self-identification in this part is correct, but there are further details later.

An unofficial magical girl.

In other words, she is not a permanent employee, which is due to a variety of reasons.

On one hand, she lacks ability, and on the other hand, she has a bad personality... For example, in order to exaggerate her efforts, she will give all sorts of false information.

Even though the investigation mission only encountered two strange beings, she would report things like, "[Fought desperately and fought her way out of two groups of strange beings]".

Furthermore, he would deceive the young nuns, boasting every day that he had fought the King of Monsters in "The Vatican City: The Retake"...

Actually, it was just a magic missile thrown in that direction from a kilometer away.

Overall, he's a pretty terrible teammate.

"I understand. If the other party is that 'Vampire Prince'... Cong Yu- chan! I will protect you."

Yaochuan Guang spoke very seriously, took a deep breath, and then gripped his wand to protect everyone behind him.

And at that very moment...

The sun has completely set.

"Boom!!!"

The ceiling above everyone's heads shattered instantly, and a sound that was indistinguishable between pitch black and blood red suddenly pierced through the floorboards from the second floor of the library.

The crimson light and the broken bricks and tiles created a blinding glow that shot straight towards D's location.

This is a man with bat wings.

His face was pale, his pupils were bloodshot, his body was extremely muscular, and his skin was smooth but unhealthyly white to an eerie degree.

Crimson magic formed sharp, chainsaw-like claws that twisted and turned, pointing directly at D.

The speed was astonishing; no one present could react in time.

D, who calls herself the "Blood-Hunting Division" and acts like a complete "Vampire expert,"... didn't even realize it.

"Sizzle!!!!"

The four-clawed blade, formed from crimson magic, pierced through D's chest in an instant, leaving him suspended high in the air.

"Uh... Pfft--"

Instantly, blood gushed from D's nose and mouth, splattering onto the Vampire's face as blood flowed from both orifices.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

A sound like being burned came, and the Vampire recoiled, pulling out his claws with a sharp cry.

"Wrrrrrry!!!!!"

After letting out a scream like Vampire from some strange movie set, he frantically scratched his face, tearing open the flesh that was being corroded and eroded inward by D's blood.

At the same time, the figure once again transformed into a scarlet phantom, flying up through the holes in the ceilings of the first and second floors of the library.

The whole process was extremely fast, happening in the blink of an eye.

"Thump--"

Seeing D collapse on the spot, and the Vampire return to the second floor, Yaochuan Guang was somewhat at a loss...

I'm not sure if I should chase after them or check D's condition.

On one hand, the Vampire seemed to be seriously injured by D-senpai's counterattack (probably), on the other hand...

Senior D's heart was damaged. Can she recover on her own?

"Cough cough... cough cough cough... I can't believe it... when did I really become Vampire Prince? Damn it."

D coughed up blood repeatedly, and crimson blood began to flow from her eyes. She lay on the ground with several obvious bloody holes in her chest.

Lantian Zhu quickly went over and transferred his magic to help her recover. "Excuse me for being frank, but that kind of strength doesn't seem like that of King Level."
