In the claustrophobic stone room, on several rusty candlesticks, short white candles were emitting a faint light.

Under the candlelight, a somewhat decadent red figure sat beside a huge sarcophagus, and from time to time stroked the gorgeous griffin hollowed-carved sword in his hand. Through the smooth and mirror-like sword body, a pale face with a faint sadness hidden in the wood...

"......It's been so many years, but I didn't expect this sleep to be so long, so long..."

What is a "vampire"?

Neither human, nor ghost, nor life, nor death. Once you enter this path, you will forever escape from the cycle of reincarnation, and you will be eliminated as soon as you die, and no one can know it.

"...Macar, Goddri, Andre... Isabel... It's like a dream, so messy! So messy!"

Suddenly, the red figure suddenly put down the long sword in his hand and began to use his pale hair to pull it, almost like crazy.

"…I am Arucardo! Not Nicole! No! No…"

Endless sorrow pours into my heart like a tide, a hundred years of time is like a dream in a moment, when I wake up, I don’t know how many past appearances I still remember...

Memory often does not mean good.

“Hu~~~Hu~~~”

Soon, Arucardo, who seemed to be tired, hung down his hands weakly, and the strands of silver hair between his fingers also fell to the ground.

"I'm so tired... I don't want to continue like this anymore... Everyone is leaving, why should I stay? Why do I leave me alone..."

With a dazed look, Arucardo slowly turned around and stroked a line of text on the sarcophagus, which was a name that he dared not look directly at.

"Macar... I suddenly regret it... You said, I am not suitable to be a vampire because I can't stand loneliness and darkness... When I chose to be a vampire, you called me a coward, and I was very angry... But now, I understand, I am really a coward... a fragile coward who dares not die as a human being..."

Alucardo said something that was not long, intermittently for nearly five minutes, and the more he went to the back, the tall he was curled up his body into a ball, like a child who was frightened by thunder.

boom!

Another muffled sound came from the ceiling. No one caught Arucardo's attention, but he was still slightly awakened, and the trance in his eyes began to fade away...

"...Okay, that's it. Since it's the path I chose myself, let me finish it..."

After shaking and shaking, Arukado moved step by step to the pure black metal coffin in the middle of the stone chamber like a patient.

"What you said... Compared to humans, vampires are just an inequality and weak monster. Even if I become... they are just the strongest one, but they still cannot avoid the ending of being defeated by humans in the end. I am very glad that I saw humans not long ago and saw... the kind of extremely powerful humans, the light emitted by them is too dazzling... A creature like me who can only crawl in the dark will probably be burned to ashes as soon as I get close, but..."

As he said that, Aruka raised his right hand and stared at the ring with light green crystal on his thumb. This was the ring that Yue Yulou gave every member of Mu when he grabbed the second Tears of Yasha.

"...I still hope to save a person, a person who is about to lose his identity as a 'human'... Makar, to be honest, he is actually very much like you, and can abandon everything for a great goal... Maybe it was because I saw your shadow in him that I followed him until now. It turns out that... He is indeed a person worth following, but the haze in his heart is too deep, so deep that even I can't see through, what is left to him for a thousand years?"

"... Maybe, there is only endless loneliness... He is harder and tired than anyone else, just like you in the past..."

Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Arucardo's face. If any member of the Mu family were present, they would definitely be shocked, because they had never seen Arucardo's heart-wrenching smile.

"Leader, I am Arucardo..."

After gently twisting the crystal on the ring, Arucardo began to whisper to the ring.

"Thank you for your worries. I have nothing to do. Everything is destined in the dark, maybe..."

"So, leader, you should also know that array? That's right, it's the one above..."

At this point, Arucardo suddenly raised his left hand and gently stroked the crimson crystal on the black metal coffin with a faint halo.

"Yes……"

At this time, although Arukado's face was still as calm as before, a trace of relief was faintly revealed...

"I've decided, and there's nothing else to do."

“…Let’s see you, my leader.”

After saying that, Arucardo put down his arm, turned around, staring at the huge metal coffin calmly, motionless...

Until this moment, the candles in the stone chamber were finally burned out. With a slight airflow, the entire stone chamber instantly fell into boundless darkness, and everything was silent.

………………………………………

"What's the hard work..."

He slowly lowered his right arm, which was clenched into fists, and Yue Yulou's face looked very bad. Just now, he was avoiding the attack of the terrifying human centipede and communicating with Arucardo.

"Day Demon! It's a battle now! Please respect some of your opponents!"

Hissing~~~~

Amid Naili's roar, the giant centipede pulled by countless spider silks hovered around and pounced on Yue Yulou again.

“I’m very annoyed now…”

clang!

The fishy storm that came to his face did not affect Yue Yulou's movements at all. He turned slightly and flashed through the violent dive in an instant.

However, when he used the long sword in his hand to slash on the giant centipede, he did not even leave a white seal!

"Use the power that does not belong to this world to force create objects that do not belong to this world's rules... Your ace is very powerful and bold."

The creatures created by Naili are separated from the rules of this world, which means that it is impossible to kill them by using the methods of this world.

Simply put, this human centipede is actually in an "invincible" state.

"Hmph! It's not over yet!"

Suddenly, Naili suddenly raised his first right arm and pulled the spider silk in his hand.

Hissing~~~~~

Suddenly, the giant human centipede turned around suddenly and dragged a large area of ​​spider silk to Yue Yulou again.

"A pretty flexible thing...well?"

With a false wave, Yue Yulou once again staggered the opponent's attack, but just as he was parallel to the human centipede, a strange feeling suddenly attacked his mentality, and he suddenly retreated backwards.

"This is……"

Looking at the shallow scratch on the clothes on the chest and looking at the various weapons on the more than a hundred opponents of the human centipede, Yue Yulou couldn't help frowning.

"Even if it is aggregated, their mage abilities still exist! Ha!"

The four arms were moving like a gust of wind, and the human centipede also began to move at high speed. Although Yue Yulou also tried to attack Naili directly, he had lost his space ability. Every time he tried to get close to Naili, the centipede would curl up into a ball and protect Naili in it, making him unable to start.

Hissing~~~~

The human centipede that roared like a red cart once again surrounded Yue Yu Tower, and at the same time, the green crystals on their bodies began to flash quickly.

boom!

Soon, a large number of spells began to rush towards Yue Yu Tower from all directions. At this time, the human centipede was like an armored train with full firepower. The powerful spells seemed to be emitted from the magic weapons in their hands without any gap.

“Um…”

Although he tried his best to dodge, Yue Yulou, who was out of the spider web, could not compare with usual. In just a moment, he was hit several times, and there seemed to be no external injuries, but a trace of blood still flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

"Very good...you are the fourth person to hurt me."

He still had a calm expression and gently wiped away the blood from the corners of his mouth. Although Yue Yulou seemed to care, his brain had begun to rotate rapidly. Now he is the weakest in history.

"Hmph! Not only is it injured, I will also be the first to defeat you...Hmm!"

Suddenly, two of Naili, who was in good condition, began to tremble unnaturally, just like an epilepsy patient. Due to this sudden situation, the human centipede, which was already in a strong attack, quickly slowed down.

"No, time is much faster than I thought..."

After taking a look at Yue Yulou, who was gasping for breath and seemed to be resting, Naili's eyes suddenly became firm.

"...No matter what! At least you have to hit that guy before that!"

Hissing~~~~~

After stabilizing his arms slightly, Naili launched another attack, and this attack was fiercer than before. The huge human centipede was like a fierce vicious dog, constantly diving, turning, accelerating, diving, turning...

In just half a minute, Yue Yulou was already covered in scars. Without an elemental force field, he had no way to resist the endless attacks.

"Ha~~~~Ha~~~What a funny doll."

It seemed that he had no strength to dodge. Yue Yulou stood there and let the spell hit him. If his health was not too high, he would have landed on the moon long ago.

“Wow~~!”

But what responded to him was Naili's moan in pain. For some reason, the other party actually started vomiting blood!

"No! Ha~~~~~ It's not OK! It's not over yet... It's not OK... It's not over yet!"

Looking at the huge red patch of palms, Naili was reluctant to let go and cheer up. His condition was not much better than Yue Yulou.

"Can't it..."

Wiping off the blood from the forehead, Yue Yulou seemed to understand something when he saw Naili's appearance.

"Come on! Fight again in the end! Decide the winner!"

This time, Naili was really trying his best. He actually swallowed ten of the artificial spider mother crystals at once!

"Yo! I can still move..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The sudden rejuvenation made Naili's voice surge again, and more spider silk appeared in his hands. The originally slow human centipede also began to accelerate suddenly. In just a moment, only a vague black shadow moving at high speed was left in the air!
