Chapter 537 Cap 535: Arrival At City Of Blood(Chapter Preview)

It's been 3 weeks of travel, apart from the first week where we were attacked dozens of times by bandits, we haven't been attacked since.

The number of deaths was huge, there were hundreds of bandits killed in those days alone, unfortunately, the bandits were just the beginning, in the second week we had arrived in a city that had just been abandoned because of a Wave of Monsters that happened inside the city. city ​​because of a dungeon that we found inside a house, we only noticed that because half of that house was destroyed due to the monsters that came out of the dungeon, and the buildings around were also half destroyed.

Lucky I was in the carriage at that moment, so I was able to use my Aura to ward off the monsters without having to face the Monster Wave.

Lilian told me that there should probably already be a subjugation team being prepared, maybe they would even be on their way to that city, so instead of staying and fighting we should leave so we don't get into other people's problems, I listened to her advice and left there.

Since then we haven't found any more towns or villages until yesterday when we entered a village where an Evil ritual was taking place, the whole village had been massacred with blood from all sides, the bodies were piled in the center of the village while a Fire Mage tried to use them as a sacrifice for a summoning spell.

I let Érica, Irius, and Irina handle this matter, they killed all those Mage's lackeys and Érica personally took care of this Mage.

This Mage only had SS Grade strength, it was not a danger to anyone, the creature he was trying to summon was an Ifrit, this is an intelligent Demi monster race, they are a mixture of Demon and Fire Elemental, they are beings whose instinct is to destroy and kill, are true Monsters.

p Érica said that this type of monster is also capable of granting more power to those who have an Affinity to the fire element, but the person has to present a sacrifice for them.

These monsters don't exist on this continent, it seems that this Mage wanted to summon this monster using a forbidden summoning ritual using those people's lives as a sacrifice before making a deal with this monster.

After discovering this Érica took care of this idiot by killing him inside the Dungeon so that his soul could be used by us to make more monsters in the future.

We wasted an entire day in that place making graves for those people and we held a ceremony for the dead so that these souls may rest in peace, Vanessa performed the entire ceremony with Lilian's help.

After that we left, but still in my head the bodies I saw piled up, they were ordinary people without the power to fight, there were even old people and children's bodies, the fury in my heart still hadn't diminished since I hadn't laid anything against it those bastards who did these things.

All I could do was wait for these memories to subside, I was furious, but there was nothing to be done.

"You need to forget about that village, Master." (Jade)

"I can't help it when so many people who had no power to defend themselves die for such a stupid reason." (I)

"Normally I don't care about the death of others, but this is only for those who work in life-threatening jobs, these people know that dying is something that can happen." (I)

"But the people of that village were just farmers, they just wanted peaceful lives." (I)

"I don't like what happened either, but unfortunately there are many people like that mage who would do anything for power." (Jade)

"My mom and I didn't know until it was all over, all we could do was help with the graves." (Jade)

"That was already helpful..." (I)

I was talking to Jade who I had some combat training with today inside the Dungeon.

Jade is no longer regretting the past, but I felt that seeing that village brought back unpleasant memories for her, I called her to train so we can forget about this subject to put this bad feeling out.

-----------

With that, another day has passed and Lilian says that we will arrive in 1 more day in the city of Vampires.

Now I'm sitting on top of my mansion in the Dungeon, I was making the last adjustments in the Dungeon before starting to add floors again, all the current floors have monsters, environments, traps, and some floors have treasure rooms.

We already have Boss monsters on floors 10 and 20 as well.

Finally, my Dungeon looks ok, but there are still a few floors left for me to let outsiders in, I have to get to the 50th floor before thinking other unknown people enter.

When I had just finished solving some Dungeon stuff, Vanessa comes flying up and lands next to me.

"We'll get to our destination soon, are you sure you want to go there?" (Vanessa)

"You know there may be people who will be able to feel your presence, even if no one realizes your identity as the Holy Child of Goddess Selene, they will still associate you as someone from the Temple of Blood." (Vanessa)

"I don't remember joining any religion." (I)

"You are a target of faith in our Religion, one of Selene's children, this is part of who you are Father, you cannot deny that." (Vanessa)

Sigh

"Let's just see what happens and act accordingly, no matter where we go, we're always going to run into trouble and you know that, so I'm going to stop trying to avoid these things and do whatever I want or I'm always going to end up paranoid about random things. " (I)

"You should pay the Queen a visit, she can help if something happens there, from what Lilian said, this Queen will notice her identity because she has strong perception abilities thanks to her lineage." (Vanessa)

"I'll think about it." (I)

"We arrived, there's a town nearby, we can already see it from the carriage." (Layla)

Layla comes flying to tell you that we'll be arriving at the City of Blood soon, it was a little faster than I expected.

I tell the hundreds of fairies that were nearby to pray for the others and let them know that we have arrived in Vampire City, I asked Vanessa to go tell Lilian to meet me and I told Layla to tell the carriage driver to stop and not come any closer for now.
