Leo suddenly looked down at Dio, who was kneeling on the ground.

He knew that even though this guy normally pretended to be expressionless, he was scared deep inside.

So, it was necessary to appease him in moderation.

“Tell me in more detail. What are you talking about?”

“Aren’t you going to send me into the realm of vampires?”

“That’s not right.”

“No? No way… .”

D.O. had an expression of disbelief.

Of course, the garrison here was here to prevent the advance of vampires.

In such a situation, Leo had only one reason to call him.

Reconnaissance of the Vampire Realm.

Since he was a vampire from the beginning, he should have known geography well, and there was no one more qualified than him.

But that is a shortcut to death.

If you enter the realm and are mistakenly caught by a high-ranking vampire, you, the traitor, will be captured in an instant and tortured for eternity.

That’s why I never wanted to go, but I couldn’t break the order because I was bound by a black magic contract with Leo.

The only thing Dio could do was to come and empty himself in front of Leo.

“Not really. I called you to look inside the hydra’s venom, not the vampire’s realm.”

“It is the poison of the hydra… ?”

Dio thought deeply.

I came here thinking the worst, but I thought it wasn’t bad enough.

Hydra’s Venom is a buffer zone between the Juris Empire and the vampire realm.

It can be said to be the front yard of vampires, but it is much safer than entering the realm directly.

Although Dokji’s miasma and monsters were dangerous, he drank a neutralizer and wandering around among simple monsters was not a task if it was his ability.

Judgment has been made

“… I think I can do that.”

“Good thing. I could feel the aura of blood magic weakly inside. What you have to do is go around the dokji and figure out the cause and let me know.”

“… … ?”

‘The energy of blood magic… Isn’t that more than 90% chance there are vampires… ?’

Dio said with a look on his face.

Leo shrugged and patted him encouragingly.

“I just said that I could do it, so don’t try to say it twice.”

D.O. felt like crying.

* * *

Dio did a pretty good job of reconnaissance.

After wandering around the inside of the Hydra’s dock for several days, he came to know meaningful information.

“There were indeed traces of blood magic, master.”

Dio, who met again at a place slightly out of the garrison, got down on one knee.

“What was it like?”

“I’m not sure because my magic level is weak, but… It was a barrier.”

“Barrier?”

“Yes. I don’t even know what the barrier is. I didn’t approach it because I was afraid that if I touched it wrong, I might get into trouble or get caught.”

“Couldn’t you confirm what shape it is from the outside?”

“well. It’s a simple guess, but it seemed like a type of barrier to block outsiders.”

When Leo heard that, he thought about it.

‘It’s a blood magic barrier… . This isn’t serious.’

Something suspicious was going on.

He glanced at Dio.

It’s going to be hard to find out more with his abilities.

It’s a useful subordinate, so you shouldn’t get hurt.

“Good job.”

The rest I had to see for myself.

* * *

The garrison holds a meeting every morning.

At the meeting, the high-ranking members of the Imperial Army wanted to advance into Dokji.

“Rather than standing still here, it is better to at least explore the interior to explore the terrain and obtain information.”

“That’s right. Not too long ago, the monsters in Dokji were massively subjugated, so there shouldn’t be much danger.”

Originally, I was going to wait quietly, but my confidence rose with a massive victory.

As a result, many people decided that it was okay to move a little more actively.

However, after hearing Leo say that he felt the aura of blood magic on the contrary, Hanson, commander of the Kingdom of Rome, insisted on watching the situation.

Count Guillotine glanced at Hanson and Leo.

The reason why he was able to stay still in the garrison until now was entirely because Count Guilloten was considerate of the Kingdom of Rome.

And if you wanted to, you were willing to continue to be considerate in the future.

Because he was an unfair and biased person.

But today was different.

Leo gave a slight wink, and Hanson nodded slightly.

Then he raised his hand and took the floor.

“We, the Kingdom of Rom, also agree to enter into an internal search for Dokji.”

“!”

“Is that true?”

The imperial army was surprised.

They were against the internal search at the daily meeting, but I never thought they would suddenly agree.

“Yes. As a result of our discussions, we came to the conclusion that it is better to move to understand the situation than to wait here.”

“Good idea!”

The high-ranking members of the Imperial Army smiled broadly at Hanson, then looked at Earl Guillotine with sparkling eyes.

In any case, since the person in charge of this place was Earl Guillotine, it was of no use unless he gave permission.

‘What kind of change of heart did you have?’

Count Guillotine looked at Leo.

As a result of observing the past few days, the commander of the kingdom army was ostensibly Hanson, but it was found that it was Leo who actually exerted influence.

It was probably Leo’s opinion that had been against the search all along.

I don’t know what made him suddenly change his mind, but Count Guillotine nodded.

“I will allow you. Let’s start moving right away this afternoon.”

* * *

The troops stationed in the Empire and the Kingdom of Rome began to march.

Anyway, only knights and wizards who can handle mana are the only ones who can function properly in Dokji.

So, excluding the soldiers, a small elite group of knights and wizards decided to attempt reconnaissance.

“On the Roman Kingdom side, do both the commander and sub-commander come forward?”

“That’s right.”

“How can you cooperate like this? When I return later, I will definitely tell His Majesty the Emperor about the kingdom’s activities.”

Count Guillotine was pleased that both Hanson and Leo were involved in the search.

High-ranking aristocrats usually don’t fit into these dirty duties, but they weren’t at all.

Leo, in particular, wanted to move voluntarily while being a member of the royal family.

‘I heard that members of the royal family of Rome are so honorable… . Excellent.’

What was once good was getting better and better.

“Seeing how poor Leo is, I can’t sit still as the commander-in-chief. I also want to participate in the search.”

“Yes? How are you going to command the garrison?”

“There are a few people left besides me.”

“Wouldn’t the count be too hard?”

“It is a strong body. He’s not as young as he is, but his stamina isn’t lost at all, so don’t ignore him. Uh huh.”

“Yes? No, I didn’t ignore it.”

Leo was taken aback.

Of course, he couldn’t ignore the count.

Count Guillotine must have at least 100 times more physical strength than himself.

Wizards are constantly training their bodies to handle mana well, but Leo was an exceptionally weak constitution.

“Anyway, see you later, my lord. It’s time to start slowly.”

“Yes. Be careful. count.”

Count Guillotine left for the imperial army.

* * *

Dokji was so wide that the Imperial Army and the Kingdom Army took different directions.

This was to ensure that the search ranges did not overlap with each other.

“Then be careful, low.”

“Be careful with hardness.”

Hanson made a request to Leo.

Leo and Celise decided to move alone.

Naturally, Hanson objected, but Leo came out strong.

-Anyway, monsters that are powerful enough to be dangerous for me will have to go to the depths of Dokji, and no matter what happens, as long as Sellies is there, it won’t be a problem as long as I lose one of my body.

-That’s true, but didn’t you say you felt traces of blood magic?

– I’ll just check carefully and come back. That much is fine.

– Uhm… .

Being Hanson, who had fought alongside Leo, he was well aware of what he was like.

A 4th class mage, but a skill that even a 5th class mage cannot easily surpass.

There is now Selise, who is an intermediate level sword expert, so Leo will not be in any danger.

– In my mind, I want to follow you.

-Sir Hanson should be in command. And if Kyung is included in me, won’t the power become too asymmetrical?

The Roman Kingdom army decided to operate dozens of search teams, each consisting of two knights and one wizard.

The numbers are right with Hanson, but he’s clearly overpowered, so it makes sense that he joins the other shortfall.

“You really have to be careful, my lord.”

“Okay, so let’s go and work.”

Hanson said until the end as if he were asking, and then left for the troops.

“after. finally went Let’s start slowly.”

“Yes.”

Leo took only Selize and went inside the dokji.

On the way, D.O joined us.

He was very afraid to go inside, but he couldn’t help it when Leo ordered.

‘Besides being a vampire, you can also stealth. I can’t leave someone who can use blood magic.’

“You don’t believe me? Even if something dangerous happens, you can be safe.”

“Of course I know the skill of the master. But among the high-ranking vampires, there are many really strong and terrifying ones.”

“I wish I could run into those guys. And even if we meet, even if we don’t win, we will be able to lose some of our bodies.”

Leo shrugged.

After defeating the black magician Mtileth, his confidence has greatly increased.

He also possesses the relics of Karst the Great, and his skills are also different from those of ordinary 4th-class mages.

I was confident that I would be safe no matter what happened.

– aaah!

– Kyaaak!

During the search, a poisonous monster popped out once in a while.

[Ice Light]

– Flash!

Several beams of light were fired from Leo’s fingers.

As soon as the light beam of the light-ice attribute hits the monster, it freezes it as it is.

-Kieek!?

It was not a very powerful magic, so the effect of slowing down the movement was all.

However, that was enough.

That’s because Sellise killed them all in an instant.

It wasn’t that difficult to catch those slow-moving people who were wrapped in the cold.

“It’s very easy with your help.”

“It’s my first time using this in real combat, but it’s effective.”

“Is this a new magic?”

“uh. It’s called Ice Light, and it’s a light attribute added to the ice attribute.”

The light that flew like a ray freezes opponents.

Due to the nature of the light, it was impossible to avoid it, so the hit rate was close to 100%.

If you guessed it instead, the power wasn’t that strong, so at best it would only slow down your movement a bit, but that wouldn’t be a disadvantage if there was a knight like Sellies next to you.

It wasn’t the magic included in Breath of Frost, it was Leo’s newly developed magic that made use of his own characteristics.

“If you try to match your breath a few more times, you will be able to hunt much easier.”

Leo grinned.

Seeing this, D.O. trembled.

‘This monster… You’re stronger than ever before.’

It’s been months since I haven’t seen it, and it’s shocking to see that it’s gotten much more powerful.
