Chapter 219 – New players?

(Vampire?)

(I’ve never encountered their kind before!)

(Well... I did encountered Ariava... But she was a dhampir succubus? A half vampire – half succubus.... Technically she counts.... But again, I’ve never encounter a normal vampire.)

(No! It doesn’t matter yet... I mean, it does matter...)

"..."

(It is not like one or two vampires.... ALL of the black knights are showing the same symptoms of accelerated dryness and change in appearance.)

(....No wait.)

(Did they done something to their bodies?)

(....No....Something isn’t still adding up....) – thought Thauma as it was inspecting the bodies.

(When Ariava was talking to about vampires, she told me that they often hide their identity in order to infiltrate the settlements and feast.... Is it the case here?)

(But how?)

(There is good chance that there is one, which would allow them to pretend to be normal humans.... Or there could be either spell, or maybe a magic tool which special ability.) – thought Thauma as it began picking up knifes that were hanging on the wall.

(No.... Not them.)

(Not only that, the vampire corpses apparently rot quickly... Or "dry" up?)

(I will have the dungeon devour these black knights that stood out the most during the battle, and instead I will use the ones that didn’t caught my attention per say or do not look like important figures.)

"!"

(The amount of DP is way more massive than I’ve thought!)

(....Still... I will probably have to make a lot of expendable bomb golems again... I did used up a lot of them... And they are one use only.)

(And... There are also these things.)

(The golems that appeared at the start.... They had it.)

(Do they work differently?)

(Upsides?)

(I need to study it.)

(But that is for later.) – thought Thauma as it put down the core and equipped itself with several blades as it then began approaching the table where the vampire was laying on top of it.

<<.... But this thing here.... It isn’t organic.>>

<<....And this metal that made up the device... I don’t know it.>>

<<....And these vampires... There was a lot of them.... And they were beyond extremely strong.... So.... Does that mean there is possible vampire noble involved here?>>

<<...>>

"Fuck me.... This can’t be real..." – said the scared imprisoned soldier.

".... I don’t think, even if I were to recover my full power, I would be able to let us escape." – said the golem user as he was chained up.

(But mana distribution isn’t something easy!)

"!"
