head.
“Well, that’s the reason why all of you made such remarkable growth and attained the firepower and the force to break through obstacles which is fitting for your growth.”
Sensei then says while looking at all of us.
“Our plan is to stop the Holy Grail from being extracted. I might be saying a cruel thing, but in the worst case scenario, we will still capture Marius even if it’s after the Holy Grail has been extracted. The other Vampires besides Marius with a high post……try to keep them alive as much as possible. —So the point is, you can eliminate the terrorists without any mercy. I will allow it. If you are put in a dangerous situation of being attacked by an Evil Dragon, then escaping with Valerie and the Holy Grail is an option too. Don’t push yourself to defeat it. I won’t go as far as to ask you to defeat an Evil Dragon.”
That’s simple and easy to understand. So if an Evil Dragon appears……we can run if we feel that it’s dangerous.
That Crom Cruach is someone I don’t want to fight at all costs. Even Ddraig warned me about him.
“I-I’m going to bring back Valerie!”
Gasper stands up and says that in high spirits.
Everyone sees that and puts on a good smile.
[Of course!]
Our words overlap each other! That’s how it is!
We stand up altogether and leave the guest room with much enthusiasm—.
We walk down the stairs towards the basement.
Thanks to Kiba making a route for us, we didn’t receive that much assault. As we suspected, the locations where the soldiers would normally be on standby has changed. Though we only had two easy battles till we got here.
We can hear the powerful noises of the battle happening outside. There was a lot of damage to the castle due to the battles occurring outside where their attacks have even reached the castle. Well, I doubt their attacks will reach here inside the basement, but the earthquake-like shock due from the battle outside echoes even in here.
After we walk down the stairs for a while, we exit out onto the first floor we reach.
An open space. It’s big enough such that it will be alright even if we go a bit wild in here. Thanks to the lighting on the ceiling we can see till the furthest part of this floor. Though we can still see inside dark places due to being a Devil.
—Then there are lines of shadows belonging to a group of people. There are so many Vampire soldiers clad in armour that they can easily fill half of this floor. Every one of them has a weapon in their hands and their red eyes are glowing so intensely that it looks dangerous.
There are……more than a hundred of them. They are Vampires that were formerly human. Even though their traits as Vampires are weak compared to the pure-bloods, their physical ability is so extraordinary that a mere human cannot stand against them.
Sensei says while creating a spear of light in his hand.
“Now then, who wants to take them on? Since there will be strong foes below this floor, I don’t want to waste unnecessary strength here.”
“Since you have a job to do once we reach the Holy Grail, we will be troubled if we have you waste your energy here, Azazel.”
Akeno-san says. Exactly. Since Sensei is someone who left the front-line, it may be better for him to stay behind us during group battles and command us instead.
Xenovia carries Durandal on her shoulder.
“I would like to release Durandal’s aura here as the signal for the start of our battle, but it would be better that I don’t, right?”
