Chapter 13: S Class Bounty
Since the MC doesnt appear, it will be a third-person perspective.
Your Majesty! Please run away!
I will not. Prepare the defense.
When Emperor Johannes was informed of the approaching Tsunami, he chooses to stay.
He is thinking about his peopleof course not. Such personal feelings were sealed when he became Emperor. He simply judged that if he escapes this incident would lead to a riot or even a rebellion in the eastern region.
To this end, he posted his small amount of imperial knights on the wall of Kiel and appointed a commander. Then he donned his armor, took up his sword and went to the frontline himself.
Everyone! Dont let the eastern people suffer any longer! We will save everyone even if it cost us our life ! !
With the Emperor personally stand at the frontline himself, the morale has risen dramatically.
However, that is not enough to hold off the monsters that came attacking wave after wave.
Swarms of monsters were constantly coming from the east side of Kiel, and the area outside the city walls was quickly filled with monsters. The garrison forces are fighting off the excited, mindless monsters that are rushing at Kiel.
Johannes himself cut down many monsters with his sword but he was outnumbered.
There are three thousand men in the defensive force however the number of monsters is nearly three times that.
Seeing his men inevitably falling one after another, Johannes clicks his tongue. They are clearly at a disadvantage. He should be escaping but if he does the enemy wont be just the monsters.
As Johannes was trying to come up with something.
He heard a burst of laughter from the sky.
Ahahahaha! ! Look Look ! Nii-chan! The Emperor is having a sour face !
Yes, my little brother. This is truly amusing.
Hearing the sudden slander, Johannes glare at the sky.
At that place is a pair of men.
One was a boy with silver hair. He has a short stature and laughing innocently like a child.
Another is a man with long blonde hair. The well-featured man lightly smiles as he looks straight down at the Emperor.
What they both had in common were their strangely pale skin and their beauty.
Who are you?
Im Sam.
I am Dean.
The Emperor was familiar with their names.
Then, when the Emperor saw their characteristic canines in their mouths, he laughed.
Those are one of the several demi-human species on this continent. The characteristic of a vampire.
Long-lived and powerful, the vampires rule over a part of the continent with only a few vampire clans forming their nation.
Once considered a monster, they were a race that had been in conflict with humans in the past. But now they have non-interference agreement and rarely show themselves before the humans.
Meanwhile, there was a duo whose name was widely spread among humans.
It was the story I heard from my predecessor but..there was once a vampire duo that committed an act of cruelty and was chased out of their clan. The adventurer guild issue a bounty for both of them. If I remember correctly, their name was Sam and Dean. The two-man group that was appointed the S-rank monster designation. Thats you?
Yeah, Thats us!
The adventurer guild put us together with those lowly monster is something unforgivable. We will never forget such humiliation. Of course, that applies to those who supported them as well.
Hou? What relentless revenge. My predecessor is no longer in this world. Are you planning to exact your revenge on me instead?
OF COURSE! Humans are too fragile and easy to die after all.!
We gave up taking my revenge on the person. Our life span is different after all. Thats why we decided to take our revenge on their offspring and their possessions.
Hearing they said that they would take their revenge on the empire as a whole, Johannes clicks his tongue. Normally he would have something to say back to them but the current situation suggested that the Tsunami was caused by these two.
He was having his hands full dealing with the Tsunami, now that an S-rank enemy vampire has appeared in addition to that, Johannes cant possibly defeat them on his own.
If only his proud imperial knights were with him.
He was thinking that but he already handed those proud knights of his to his children.
They are far away from Kiel and even if they reacted immediately, those who would return to his side would only be in a small number.
Now then, if you are going to say something great like an Emperor, now is your chance you know. I will suck your blood dry until you become a mummy and throw your corpse at the imperial capital after all !Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m
Fuhn! Try it if you can ! Even if I died, the empire will survive! My empires elites will hunt you down! If you are not afraid of that then come and get me !
I will acknowledge that will of yours. However, no matter how much you howl theres no changing your disadvantage.
Dean raised his right hand.
Magic power gathers in his hand and a black sphere emerges. It is different from the magic used by humans. It is an attack magic that only possible for the vampires that possessed an enormous amount of magic power.
Regret making an enemy out of us and DIE! !
A mass of magic power was thrown at Johannes.
Dean shows a terrible smile as he was sure of his victory but his smile immediately turned cold.
Before the lump of magic power hit Johannes, it was bisected.
Are you safe? Your Majesty.
OohElna, Im glad you came. Dont you have to protect Arnold?
.Please forgive me. I wasnt able to obey your direct order..
Looking at the depressed expression on Elna, Johannes gets the general idea of what happened.
If she was riding along with Arnold, she wouldnt be able to make it in time.
However, seeing that Elna, Johannes let out a smile.
Its a good feeling to be able to witness my sons growth like this. Its thanks to you, Elna.
Your Majesty.I am.
Arnold sent you in. You accepted his feelings and able to make it in time. This really makes me happy. With that said, will you let me witness your growth as well?
Elna nodded at Johanness question.
She looks straight at the two enemies and prepares her sword.
As you wish, Your Majesty. I will show you the sword of the Amsberg house.!
Hmph! What can a single human do! I know you, you are the knight that was paired with that incompetent dull prince right! Since your prince was incompetent, he didnt get that far huh. Ah good grief, to think that such incompetence would get in the way of my brothers plan.
Dont let your guard down, Sam. Amsberg house is the family of heroes. They cant be gauged with a human standard. You must not think about that woman as a normal human.
Dean warned, but Sam doesnt seem like he is going to heed that warning.
However, the moment he saw Elnas eyes, Sam renew his posture to full caution.
! ! ? ? ?
Sams body breaks out into a cold sweat like never before.
He took a stance with his magic-created scythe and take a little distance away from Elna. That was completely a retreat but Sam didnt notice that.
On the other hand, Elna hits Sam with violent killing intent and slowly rise up to the sky.
For an excellent mage, a magic that lets you float up into the sky is not difficult. However, a magic that lets you freely roam the sky is rare. Elna herself is not a mage but she has already reached that territory.
The Amsberg family has no shortage of skills needed for battle.
And theres Sam who just stepped on a landmine of that prodigy of the Amsberg house.
You just said something I hated the mosthow dare you said that in front of me ! ! I will give you a death sentence. Prepare yourself!
! Dont look down on me HUMAN!!!
Only a moment after, Sam attacks Elna with his scythe.
However, Elna evades his sickle and immediately counterattack.
Sam managed to block the blow with his scythe but the blow was heavier than he thought so he looks at his brother.
As expected of the prodigy of the Amsberg house. I understand why people called you this generation hero. However, we will make you regret the day that you chose to oppose us, vampires!
Dean joins the fight.
The three violently clashing above the city of Kiel.
Below, the Emperor is shouting to try to raise the morale of his force. The reinforcement from Elnas third knight corp pushed the monsters back a bit but there seems to be no end to the monster assault.
In a situation where he had to hold on for more reinforcements, a prince appeared.
Father! Carlos is here!! This Carlos has come back, father ! !
The fifth prince, Carlos. 23 years old.
A prince with a brown hair and gentle temper, the prince known for his gentleness. However, he has a dreamy personality and long to show his brilliant in battle like the heroes tales of old.
To that Carlos, rushing to his father and the citizens side in crisis was his ideal development.
Many people look at him and rejoice at the reinforcements. To their rejoice, Carlos joyously leads his troops to assist them.
Your Highness! Please stand back! It is dangerous!
Its fine! For I am the Hero!.
It was the word like he was intoxicated in the moment but it was also grounded.
Not long ago, Carlos met Sam and Dean through a middle man. The plan was for Sam and Dean to cause a scene and have Carlos solve the incident. In return, after Carlos becomes the emperor, he would appeal to the adventurer guild to remove Sam and Deans bounty.
Carlos was convinced that Sam and Dean have a reason to cooperate with him. There hasnt been a case where the guild retracts their bounty. However, thats within the power of the emperor. Even the guild couldnt ignore the will of an emperor of such a big empire.
Thats why Carlos believed in Sam and Dean. that they would retreat as soon as Carlos shows himself.
After he wiped out the remaining monsters he would be able to become the crown prince and live his dream of becoming a hero.
That Carlos was blown away by Sams magic bullet.
To think he actually came. That prince is really an idiot huh.
Dont worry about such a small fry. Focus on your enemy! Shes coming!
They never pay any attention to Carlos.
The reason was that they never see him as an equal business partner from the start.
The two just used Carlos. Similarly, if Carlos was only planning to use them he wouldnt end up like this. It was due to his naive nature that he trusted them.
With no time to regret his decision, Carloss consciousness flew away after he was hit by that magic bullet.
One of the knights managed to catch him but his wounds were life-threatening.
However, the knights who came with Carlos were inspired by his appearance earlier and fiercely fighting back the monsters.
The only thing Carlos managed to do, albeit poorly was turning the tide of the battle.
And with the little time, Carloss knights have bought, the situation is changing little by little.
