Chapter 93: The Anti-Undead Town (2)
“End, your growth is pretty quick.”
Senri says while looking at me with sincere eyes. It almost sounds like she’s in a bad mood, but I already understand her character well enough. As the former Death Knight, Senti Silvis is kind to her allies. That’s why I can’t help nodding to her words.
“But Dessend has excessive measures against the Undead. It’s dangerous to go outside. I’ll scout out the situation… so stay put.”
“… Okay, Senri. Be careful.”
Senri leaves the room while worryingly stealing glances at me. I lean against the wall, where the light hardly reaches. My hearing loses the sound of Senri’s footsteps.
Perhaps because of my dogfication, my sense of smell is sharper than any of my other senses. Tracking her down would be easy. But, I shouldn’t do anything that would undermine her trust. While gaining trust might be hard, you can lose it in a second. Besides, it’s not like there’s nothing I can do in this room.
I wait for a while and when I’m sure that Senri isn’t coming back, I slowly close my eyes. I focus my consciousness on the image that’s been buried inside me.
My aim is the memories and knowledge of Horus Carmon inside me. Ever since becoming a Lesser Vampire, I’ve become much stronger. But I need the Lord’s knowledge, if I’ll have to cross paths with a lineup of true vampires from now on. Senri has a secret.
She doesn’t want me to become stronger. She taught me the basics of combat. But she didn’t teach me how to apply this knowledge. Well, there’s of course a chance that I just missed it, but―― while Senri looks the same age as me, she’s a veteran Death Knight who climbed to the rank of the second class knight. She must have killed various vampires until now and should have more knowledge about how to fight with them.
