Chapter 29: Prologue – Freedom
The moon was high in the sky. Cold wind danced around the trees and caressed my face.
The strength of an undead created by necromancers is governed by the cycles of the moon. Meaning, depending on whether the moon is waxing or waning, their power grows stronger or weaker.
That might be the reason why we, the undead, are referred to as being of darkness or night.
I would surmise that the curse is designed in such a way. And I, as a Lesser Vampire, am no exception. I get much stronger during the full moon and far weaker during the new moon.
Well, the one that weakens us undead the most comes around everyday, the day, during which the sun shines bright. However, the ones that chase us to the ends of the world, factor in time of the day and the cycle of the moon when in pursuit of us.
The reason Epée let me off is not because of my ingeniousness, but his indulgence.
It is not me that he was indulging but Senri.
I suppose a talent like hers is hard to come by even in the Order of Death Knights, that is only composed of the elite.
If I remember correctly, only a select few are capable of becoming first-class knights. Not to mention, it is probably even more uncommon for someone Senri’s age to have the qualities to become one. That is the reason, the Death Knights chose to trust her rather than kill the monster.
