"Yo. Ms. Not-Vampire. Since you've awaken me, I assume that you wish to know more about that system, am I right?"

She says, as she carefully sits down on the ground, smooth sand, right next to a tree.

"Hm. Yes, correct. About my spells, skills, and abilities overall, I would like to hear about them."

"I'm not your videogame system, you know? Anyways, there doesn't seem to be anything dangerous around here. You guys found a good spot to sleep in huh."

Videogame system? How does she know about that? Could it be that she's another reincarnation? I'd like to ask her more about it, but I don't want anyone to know that I'm also another Reincarnation too...

"What do you mean by that, videogame system?"

"Nothing nothing.... Okay so. For your Basic Magic spells...... Nevermind, they're all too insignificant. I'll only tell you the cool abilities that you have for now.

"Well... They are effective... I learned them back in my hometown..."

To tell the truth, a strange fellow named "Zen Swytmnyt" taught me most of the skills I use now. She was my neighbor. I wonder what she's up to now, or if she's still even alive.

"Alright. Now, actually moving on to your cool skills. These ones sounds great...

"Huh..? What are you talking about, Sushi?"

"Seems that it's incomprehensible. I can read it, but I can't understand. It's just the limits of my human mind, don't worry, you can understand them."

12 senses..?! No I don't! What even are the 12 senses that I have..?! I'm pretty sure that sensing Bloodlust was just part of my Blood Magic..!

"Anyways. Let me tell you about your description, and your stats."

"I have a description? Who even wrote it?"

"Who knows. Most people don't, and you're kind of lucky to even have one.

W-what... What the hell even is all this..?! Why are most of it incomprehensible? What did I condemn..? Why are my stats so high..?! And why does it say that I wear a ribbon?!

"Forgive me if this was shocking news for you. Even I, don't understand........ Who. What. In. The. World. Are. You?"

We stood there for a while. Staring at each other.

This information... It's one of the few things in this world that I just want to forget. Sometimes, perfect memory is a curse.

"Huh? Rintan? Meow meow? What are you two doing? It's midnight already. Go to sleep, Vampire."

"H-huh..? Oh, it's just you, Cantaloupe... Y-you're right... I must go to sleep..."

"What was all that about? Rintan? Are you even Rintan? Grr!! Sushi!! Switch back to Rintan!!"

I walked away, heading back to my tent.

Well. Let's just pretend that this never even happened. Sleeping is a good way to forget things, haha.

Zzz...

The sun rose again. Hmmm... If I'm right, it should be a new year.

... A new year..? Isn't this a huge coincidence..? This red sky... All of this Blood God revival apocalypse... It's all starting on a new year..? Something isn't right. What is it..? Why can't I think properly..?

"Yawn... What another good day to go walking on the red frozen roads."

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

"Ah... Shouldn't we eat something first? I don't want to go without eating."

"Huh..? Come to think of it... The red clouds are gone, aren't they?"

"Woah..! You're right..! What's happening?"

Hm? What's going on? We all look at the sky. Instead of seeing the usual, gloomy red skies, a bright blue sunny day greets us.

What?! Something... Something is happening...

What in the world is happening?!

"Oh look... Isn't that a..."

What is..? A strange individual is walking towards us. They're carrying a huge sword... I can't sense any Bloodlust though.

"Hey hey. It's me! An assassin sent to kill you guys."

"Assassin-"

In an instant, a swing is catched by Rintan, using her repaired arm. Needless to say, we've been attacked.

"Enemy attack!! Kill them!"

"Flame Burst!!"

A fireball shoots at the enemy, but they simply just cut it down. Currently, the world is ending. Why even fight?!

"Everyone. Run."

Unexpectedly, everyone agrees and begins running from the assassin.

We all run forward. I use [Blood Reformation] to create a path using the dead fishes in the water. It's a good way for us to escape, and I can just get rid of the path behind us.

We mustn't forget, losing another soul will be terrible, even if we're fighting an enemy.

"Looks like they aren't even chasing us-!"

"Look out!!"

A hand breaks out of the frozen path ahead of us.

What comes out, is a heavily injured, severely damaged, Sundown Lighter.

I can't be mistaken, this Bloodlust, and this Magic Energy. It's the same when we were back in the salt mines.

"Hah... How t-truly... It's a terrible state to be in... Abyssal Magic: Cross-"

He stood there, excessively bleeding from many wounds, holding his chopped off arm, right before Crowler steps forward, swinging his sword at him, which he quickly dodges.

"Abyssal Magic: Shadow Dragon Resonance!!"

Shadows form within Sundown Lighter's hands, piercing through Crowler's sword.

Rintan attacks, slashing him, and tearing off his leg.

"GH!! AAHH-!!"

"Intestinal Break: Rewind Kick"

She repeatedly beats him down. Punching, and kicking as he struggles to stand.

Finally, Crowler swings his sword at him, crushing his face, and sending him back to the waters. The frozen blood road breaks, the red water below turns darker. Though, we're not even sure if it's blood or something else.

We continue running forward. The Bloodlust is now gone, seems like Sundown Lighter has been defeated!

Later, we finally lose the assassin, so we slowed down, saving up energy by walking.

Huh? It's a... It's land!! We're finally back on land!!

"Land..? Rintan, are we back?"

"Hmmm... I think so. This is the same grass from the town of Liope. Allies should be here, that is, if the curse didn't affect everyone."

"Man... Isn't this just an apocalypse?"

We roamed around until we finally found a town. The streets are empty, it's unavoidable to see blood and corpses. All the houses are closed, not even a single window unlocked.

Looks like the Blood God's Curse has affected everything, even on land.

"Hmmm... Shouldn't the curse only turn creatures into monsters? I've been wondering, there's a lot of monsters, and corpses everywhere... What if, this isn't even the Blood God's work anyways?"

"That's a possibility. Still, we must do something about it. Blood God's Curse or whatever, we must stop this apocalypse."

"Well. Let's start by finding survivors. The red smoke only affects those in it right? There should be people still unaffected in their homes then."

We searched around, but to no avail. Best we could find is barely living abominations, or giant monsters.

Wait a minute... Where did everyone go? Well. Let me just use [Spatial Investigation]. Hm. They're a bit far away. There's a lot of bloodlust around us, most of it is probably coming from what used to be humans, so we need to be careful, that assassin from earlier is still around too.

"Len... Len... God..."

"Save us..!"

I seem to have stumbled upon a small camp full of disfigured, and cursed people.

"Uu...! Save... God has returned..."

"Rapture... Died...."

"Mom..? Are you..."

It's a horrifying sight. People are crawling around everywhere, some are holding their guts, which is hanging off their body. While some are trying to climb the walls.

Though... If they're all here somehow, then it would mean that someone put them here, or this place used to be a camp before everyone turned into this...

"Ha..! Let me..! AAH-!"

Ow. What was that? Something hit my leg... Oh? It's a child? A perfectly normal child? Not cursed? Is she the one helping these guys?

"H-huh..?! You're finally out of the curse..? Yay!!"

Does she think that I'm one of them? Well. I should put down Divine Intervention to talk.

"Sorry, but I was never cursed. What are you doing around here? This place is dangerous."

"Y-you're not..? Really? Oh! You're one of the soldiers sent here to help us huh? Where's your allies?"

She looks around for something. Perhaps my allies? They're too far away from this place. She wouldn't be able to find them here.

"No. My allies are far away..."

"Oh... Can you please help us then..? Everyone has turned into a monster after these few days... I..."

"Can you explain what happened in this city? I'm not a soldier, or maybe you could call us one. I'm part of the Hero's team, Vixen."

"Vixen? I'm Fone, Fone Aeiall... For some reason, the curse didn't affect me... Probably because I was sleeping, but when I woke up, the entire city was covered in red fog..."

"Red fog..? Do you know the Blood God? Isn't this the result of their revival?"

"People were talking about it for a few days... Didn't know it would actually come true...."

"So? Can you tell me the story of how you survived?"

"Yes yes... I went out the house and looked around for mom... I couldn't find her, only her upper body......"

"How sad... I'm sorry for that."

"No it's okay... Right after that, a giant showed up, it was scary, I ran as fast possible... That's when I met these guys... We lived together for a while, before a strange man in a cloak arrived at our front gates..."

A strange man in a cloak? Man... What's going on right now?

"He then slaughtered everyone, but I survived by hiding in the sewers... The dead bodies of everyone then turned into this... Now I'm currently trying to help them go back to their original form... Can you help?"

"Sure, why not. I can cast healing on them, but it will take a few days for everyone to recover. Mentally... Some won't be the same anymore..."

"Hah..! Thank you..!!"

Well. I haven't used [Revitalize] on a lot of people before, so there's a chance that this spell might become weaker as I use it.

"Alright! Follow me-"

An expected appearance, the face of a familiar one arrives.

It is, not without a second glance, this entire place is a trap. The one who set me up, is the one who murdered my friends a few years ago.

Is he also the same one who slaughtered all these people? He might have arrived here with a few of his allies, I need to be careful.

"HahaahahaHHAAAA!!! YOU DOLTISH LITTLE BASTARD!! Fools like you, cretinous and naive... How did it feel? To be separated from the chains..?"

The little girl looked back, right before multiple slashes captures the space surrounding her.

"Divine Light. CAST OF THE IRON MAIDEN!!!"

It's been a long time since I've heard that. Amongst all of this confusion, and this apocalyptic nightmare, the one enemy, that I thought I've gotten rid off, comes back.

[Spatial Lift] should've transported him into another realm, or into the dirt at least. Getting brought back here was a miracle, terrible luck for me.

I grab all of the slashes before it hit Fone. [Physical Enhancement III], and [Blood Storm], I cast.

"V-Vixen..?!"

She asked, quickly before I kicked her into a nearby building. She has [Holy Barrier] that I've casted instantly, so she'll be safe.

[Holy Barrier] is the strongest form of the [Barrier] spell, it won't be easy breaking through.

"Still carrying on your hero act? The true hero has arrived, Vampire. It'll be the death of humanity, and the start of a new era! There's no more hope left for you in this world!"

"Really? I thought I put you back in the ground? Did you dig out? You demons really need to stay where you belong."

"Oh..? I'm not a demon. I'm a pillar... One, consisting of this world. Creators have forgotten about me, or maybe they didn't..? Hmmm... Well, whatever! Calling me a mere demon, IS A DISGRACE TO THE PILLARS OF CREATION!!!"

"Stop shouting. Does the Pillars of Creation have bad temper? Well, it doesn't even matter anymore. I'll make sure you meet the same fate as those you've killed."

We're not going to have a Rematch here. My only goal is to survive, not to fight.

His magical field definitely changed, [Spatial Lift] won't work anymore.

This overwhelming power... it's impossible to win.

...

Bloodlust? Where did that come from?

Silhouettes suddenly appeared on the rooftops... Looks like I've been cornered.

Frillet Tofan? Fang? Cricket Cricket? Triax? Sundown Lighter? And five more?

Whatever. I'll kill them all.

"Time to get serious."

Crack, crack.

I crack my fingers, stretch my back, and prepare to attack.

"You have no way of winning here... What are you planning to do?"

"Vixen, I gave you a chance to turn back. Apologizing now won't work."

"My face is gone... You're going to pay..."

They all step forward, looking down at me.

"I am the savior. The one who will bring light into this world of darkness. There shan't be none sinners who stand before me... Vampire, you have committed a mortal sin. Even helping lost souls, won't make you go forgiven."

What a bunch of nonsense. Still, the only way out of this situation, is pretty easy.

Consisting of blood, air, oxygen, bloodlust, and magic. It is my ultimate spell, [Antares].

Thanks to my extraordinary intelligence, and my perfect memory, learning it was easy. Not much people can have my abilities, for some, it's a curse, it's the same for me.

.....

Gather up all of the Magic Energy in the vicinity, with lower focus, oxygen and air won't be a problem. Then take all of the bloodlust you can get, Cricket Cricket's for example. It ranges over 2000000km long, take all of this into one place, and mix it all together. Lastly, pour all of your energy, and everything that you have in it, and release them all at once.

"Time to end this...

Divine Light, Cast of the Iron Maiden-"

"Antares."

Bright light consumes the area. Immediately, I cast [Holy Barrier] on myself, and [Spatial Lift II] on Fone, Rintan, Cantaloupe, Den, Lare, Rayan, Crowler, and Feradon.

It wasn't long before I lost consciousness.

It was the best decision, probably. After all, I was ambushed by insanely strong opponents.
