Chapter 98: The Anti-Undead Town (4)
The morning gave way to noon which in turn brought on night. I woke up to Senri’s knock as I lay inside the closet of an inn in Dessend.
The inns in ‘Dessend’ are not kind to vampires. There are no curtains, the closets are peppered with the right crucifix symbol and the room was full of blatant anti-vampire measures.
The weakness of vampires to the crucifix is rather subtle. We are weak to a specific crucifix but it is not as fatal compared to our other weaknesses. That is the reason I, with few abilities then, was able to hold my own against Keeper, the vampire hunter and also why Senri’s sword is not in the shape of a crucifix.
I looked up at the clay crucifix once again and sighed. The gradual increase in annoying weaknesses and their countermeasures are a little different from the image I had of vampires. Naturally, as long as my life depends on it, I could not possibly be lazy in dealing with them….
The silver haired ex-Death Knight looked at me and smiled ever so slightly that nobody except me could have noticed it.
Senri looked as pretty as ever. Even after all the work of locating the castle last night and taking to the streets during the day, she still looked full of life.
“Morning, End.”
“Morning. They should really consider human proportions when making a closet.”
“… You’d have all the space you want if you turn into a dog.”
