Chapter 38
Vampire Princess vs Hero
Translated by AmaLynne
TN: Ohh demn, this battle scene is so hard to translate (>w<) *sob*! Sorry if the translation sucks (▜). Anyway, enjoy the fight after many chapters!
「Gardo-san!」
「You’re kidding
! A veteran S-rank adventurer easily
!」
Phew
 At any rate, the first half of the operation was a success.
I killed the magician by distracting her from making a decision with a mysterious letter, making her look at the moon on the opposite side, and using that slight gap to close the distance between me and the magician.
Then, while they were distracted by it, Feria-san and Tiana-san kidnapped the Twelve Holy Apostles, a double trap.
By now, Asbal and Thrust must have been beaten up by the remaining executives at the Demon King’s Castle. At any rate, there are Gray-san, the most powerful man in the Demon King Army, and Rain-san, the second most powerful in the Demon King Army.
「Ladies and gentlemen, watch out! Tonight is the full moon. Vampires are an extremely troublesome race whose power increases with the phases of the moon! When it’s a full moon, consider their power multiplied tenfold!」
「Tenfold!? 
No way!」
Yes, it’s a lie. Because I am twenty times more powerful.
I killed the warrior, so there are four left. A frivolous man who is a martial artist, a stupid woman who is a magician, and a stiff woman who is a priest
 And the hero who hasn’t moved at all since a while ago.
Yes, she hasn’t made the slightest move since a while ago. Yeah, you’d be surprised.

She’s the hero, right?
The figure is just as the information says. Shaggy white hair, eyes like a dead man. She’s not wearing armor, but a cloak.
And on her waist is a long sword. According to the intel, it’s one of the『Sacred Artifact』, but I don’t know if it’s real or not.

Perhaps she can’t move without the order of the Twelve Holy Apostles?
If so, it would be quick and easy to kill the other three here and call Tiana-san to transfer.
「Now, who should I kill first?!?!?!」

When I thought about it.
The moment I took my gaze slightly away from the brave man, I was nearly decapitated by her iaikiri, which came at me at super speed.
TN
What was that? What the heck was that!?
If I had realized it 0.1 seconds later, I would have died for real!

This guy has been aiming at me the whole time when I let my guard down and took my gaze off!
「



」
「Oooh! That’s the Hero-sama!」
「We’ll be all right if we have a Hero-sama! All right, let’s go kill some demons!」
「Such language
 No. We must avenge Gardo-san and Maris-san.」
Damn it, if it’s one-on-one, I’ll kill you in less than a second! A fox who borrows the power of a tiger!

No, I said it myself, but without the power of the full moon, I’d be a little higher status than these guys too!

This, if I may say so myself, is a cheat level status.
Even though it can only be applied once a month, this power greatly surpasses even all of the other executives.


And yet, I can’t let my guard down against the hero at all.
The reason I barely dodged the attack of the hero just now was the result of instinctively sensing that I would die if I was hit, and moving reflexively.
In other words, even with my defenses, I could not defend against her sword.
I don’t know if it was the skill of the hero or the sword itself, but at any rate, if I were to be decapitated by that sword, I would normally die.


Now, seriously, what should I do?
◆◇◆◇◆
「Okay, I’m going to give you all something great!」
The magician shouted and began chanting.
Oh no, just the hero that is enough trouble, it will be too much trouble if they add even a little bit more!
If I haste to kill the magician
 The hero attacked me again.
「Whoops! Hey
」
「


」
「


How about speaking up!」
I avoided the sword just in time to get into a blind spot and put my fist in her solar plexus
 I tried to, but she instantly backed away.
Is she really broken? The movement is too masterful.
「《Enchantment・Status Boost》!」
All status increases or something like that
 An S-rank adventurer gets picked by a hero party, even if you’re rotten!
「Oh my god, that’s so annoying!《Flame Dagger》!」
Magic shot at the magician.
It is not very powerful, but it is fire-based magic that specializes in speed.
And with my current magic power, even this level of magic can inflict a fatal wound.
「What? Woah!?」
Okay, now I have a hero and two more
 I thought.
Before the《Flame Dagger》could reach the magician, the hero interrupted the line and thrust her sword forward.
And the Flame Dagger hit the sword and
 The magic was successfully deflected by the hero who skillfully moved her sword. Wa-pachi-pachi.

Huh?
「Wait
how can you deflect magic
 In the first place, how do you deflect a fire that has no substance
how the heck!?」
How can you deflect flames with a sword?
It’s not something that can be done by『Swordsmanship』!
「Hiyaha! You see, demon tribe, this is the power of our Hero-sama! Eat this!」
The one who came rushing in shouting this was a lightweight man who was a martial artist.
She tried to attack me with a series of blows, but
 Honestly, compared to the hero, she is several
 No, she is dozens of steps inferior.
The『Speed』status is not only about how fast you are, but also about how much your dynamic vision and reflexes increase. My『Speed』status was almost 90,000, if anything, it was at a level where it seemed to stop from my point of view, where it was doubled by the power of『Avenger』working for anyone but the brave.
Is this guy really a former S-rank? She’s too careless, isn’t she?
「Hoi!」
「Arrrgh!」
So, I went up to it before it came this way and blew its head off and killed it.
Okay, now there are only two more cronies.
「Okay, now
eh?」
But the cost was too much.
For a moment. Just for a moment, the moment I was distracted by the martial artist, I was approached by the hero.
I didn’t mean to let my guard down. I didn’t even lick it
 But it seems I still underestimated her.
I was thinking this in dismay as I looked at my right hand in the air.
