How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 268

299. Too Many Villains (6)

‘Well… I’m not the protagonist, but what the heck, I’ll finish this instead.’

To build momentum, I create additional tornadoes and unleash them.

Seeing those vampires swept away is so refreshing.

On the other hand, those on the receiving end must be dying.

“Don’t underestimate us! Just a little blood clot like youuuuuuu!”

Perhaps driven by spite, the guys scream and start gathering in one place.

‘…Are they trying to unite and resist?’

It doesn’t matter.

It’s easier to deal with them if they stick together.

However, the method they chose was unexpected.

Stab!

The vampires started stabbing each other.

“…What?”

For a moment, I couldn’t believe it, so I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but there was no mistake.

They start hurting each other.

About a third of them collapse into ashes due to self-harm.

And that large amount of ash soon begins to concentrate in one place.

“…Absorbing the ashes?”

That ash is the vampire’s body.

And the one absorbing the ash is an individual in the very rear.

“Huuuuuuuuuu! Keuheueueueup!”

A change is felt from the individual who absorbed the ashes.

The power has clearly amplified.

The body swells about twice as large, and fangs are exposed for a long time.

Not only the appearance but also the magic power has actually increased.

Did they concentrate the power by the amount of ash absorbed?

For convenience, shall I call it Combined Elsaria?

‘…Wow, there was no such ability in the novel?’

I don’t know if it’s a characteristic that didn’t have a chance to appear in the original work, or if it was recently added.

That’s dangerous.

The individual who absorbed the power steps forward, extends both arms, and emits the concentrated power.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!”

Along with the roar, a black storm rages, colliding with the spirit magic tornado created by Undine and becoming entangled.

“…Did it collide and cancel out.”

It simply collided with force and canceled it out.

Then the problem is next.

Flash!

The sound of hitting the air rang out, and the appearance of Combined Elsaria disappeared.

“Here it comes.”

I throw the staff I was holding into the subspace and instead pull out the magic sword Killmuris, which is tied around my waist.

Almost at the same time, black nails are trying to press down on my head.

“Not if I can help it!”

Since transfer is not activated, let’s use another method.

I mimicked Ballant’s ability, so shall I use that?

Spirit Walk.

I activated it by using it.

Even though it’s empty space, I get the illusion that a solid foothold touches my feet for a moment, and then I feel like my body is falling out of that foothold.

For a moment, my vision widens. I felt like I could go anywhere.

“What?”

Combined Elsaria made a surprised noise.

The guy’s fingernails passed through my body.

Perhaps in his eyes, I would become blurry and disappear with the light.

And.

I reappeared right behind him and struck down with my sword.

Clang!

A mixture of turbid light mixed with the energy of him and me exploded, and he bounced into the air.

Tsk. Did I barely block it?

“You’re just using cunning tricks!”

Combined Elsaria grinds his teeth and tries to distance himself as if trying to time the next attack.

I also jumped to avoid missing him.

“Okay. I’ll make you regret trying to fight me. You damn mosquito.”

I quickly close the distance and swing my sword, aiming for his neck and waist.

If it were a human, it would be instant death, and even if it were a vampire, his physical abilities would inevitably decrease while regenerating.

However, the sword energy I wielded was blocked by the ash spewing from his body.

It’s not easy.

‘…Is the ash used for fusion also applicable to defense? Annoying.’

Then I have no choice but to break it down with that defense.

Using gravity control, I create a small gravity field the size of my palm and slam it down.

“Eat this!”

He was so focused on the sword that he was directly hit by the gravity field I threw.

“Keuack?!”

A roar and scream mixed together, and he plummeted to the ground.

I don’t miss it.

I entrust the other vampire groups in the sky to Undine and other spirits, and I also descend rapidly and chase after them.

One of the iron rules when dealing with vampires: be ruthless.

Vampires are so tough that they can babble for a while even if their entire body is completely cut into pieces and only their heads are cut off.

It seems that they can even be revived in that state if blood is supplied.

So to get rid of it for sure?

“…Where are you going?”

I chase relentlessly.

Recalling the protagonist’s actions in Volume 2, I boldly fell and pierced through the torso of Combined Elsaria, who was trying to get up.

“And boldly destroy it.”

Killmuris’ second characteristic.

Activated the profound meaning [a deep, underlying principle or truth] recorded in the sword.

Maximize the density of the aura to concentrate the physical impact.

As a result, the profound meaning is to exert hundreds of times the weight of one’s own weight and strike down.

That falls.

Kwaang!

The ground roars as it shatters from below.

It worked properly.

But it’s still not enough to completely smash it.

“Then! One more time!”

Now that it’s come to this, let’s give it plenty of service.

There are many useful profound meanings in the techniques recorded in this sword, and I have plenty of points.

Kwaaaaaang!

The highly concentrated aura explodes like a bomb, sweeping and grinding everything around me.

A scene similar to attaching a high explosive to a sword and hitting it.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!”

Something screams and jumps out from the dirt that has been turned upside down.

It’s Elsaria.

Elsaria, who only has his upper body left because he was cut off, flies towards me, baring his teeth as if turning his body over.

“I’ll take your blood and swallow this humiliation!”

“…Not if I can help it!”

I know that pattern too.

In Volume 2, he tried to bite Sylvester with only his head left, right?

“…You guys are disgusting.”

Since I knew it, it’s not difficult to respond.

The guy who was baring his teeth and running towards me was blocked in that spot and made a bizarre noise.

This is because I hit the wall with the power of the gnome [a mythical creature associated with earth and mining] at the right time.

“Kweck!”

“Huh. I know too well that you bare your dirty teeth when you’re cornered.”

Well… I was a little startled, but let’s gloss over this with a little bluff.

Activating gravity control, I pressed his upper body down and slammed it into the floor.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaak?! This Oooooooom… dares to make this Elsaria kneel on the floor!”

“Hmm~ Should I say that while kneeling on the floor?”

Anyway, it’s persistent.

Even now, he is slowly moving to escape the gravity field with only the power of his upper body…

Is this a vampire or a cockroach?

“What are you doing! My darlings! Hit this arrogant human now!”

He shouted very ugly to the other Elsarias to aim for the back of my head, but they wouldn’t have the leeway to do that.

For a while now, they have not been able to approach me.

“Not a chance!”

Cruse is keenly aware and is firing wide-area magic to check other miscellaneous things.

“It seems the number has increased, but you’re still as terrible as ever, Mr. Vampire?”

Deliberately teasing, I raised my sword.

I want information, but it doesn’t seem like this guy will open his mouth willingly.

‘…Honestly, I might get hurt if I’m too relaxed.’

Focus on getting rid of it.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know how to get rid of vampires neatly.”

Even as I say this, his severed lower body is trying to regenerate.

It’s really disgusting.

What did I do in this case?

“…I thoroughly smashed it.”

Cut, burn, and destroy it until it is completely ashes through all means.

The original work also said that this method is the most certain, right?

I agree.

“You’ll regret getting stronger in a half-assed way.”

With those words, I raised my sword and, on the other hand, summoned spirits to create lightning and fire and approached.

“Then let’s see how long you last.”

In Volume 2, he was left with only his head at the 73rd union of Sylvester’s swordsmanship and became ashes?

Then I was curious how long he would last in my swordsmanship.

“I hope you last longer than that.”

* * *

To put it simply, it disappeared in the 42nd attack.

After confirming that I had completely destroyed him, I raised my head to exterminate the next guys.

There are still quite a few left.

It seems to have decreased by nearly 70%, but it is still not a small number.

And as expected.

The other Elsarias made eye contact with me and showed a change in behavior.

“It’s frustrating, but we’re retreating!”

“Keep an eye on us…”

“Retreat! Retreat!”

As expected, retreat.

Perhaps it’s because they have had the experience of dying once, but their decision is somewhat faster than the guy I know.

“Did you think I’d let you go!”

Cruse noticed that they were retreating in the sky and poured magic.

They.

“Fall back!”

“Fall back!”

“Even one person is enough!”

Some vampires started to retreat, and the remaining guys threw their bodies directly and deliberately collided with Cruse’s magic and exploded.

Without any hesitation.

Tearful camaraderie.

No, are they all the same person, so is it self-love?

“…Are you crazy?”

Even Cruse was stunned by the behavior.

In other words, they think it’s enough if even one survives.

“…You’re out of your mind.”

I couldn’t understand it, so I shuddered, and the vampires had already escaped quite far.

“Ms. Cruse! Let’s not chase any further!”

When I shouted, she seemed to think similarly and readily gave up the chase.

“Certainly, chasing any further would be unnecessary.”

We have also consumed quite a bit, and we have not grasped all the information.

I don’t want to avoid the situation of rushing into their hideout while chasing after them.

It’s not time to attack the main camp yet.

“Anyway, since they’ve been broken this much, they won’t be able to hang around this area for a while.”

If they do, they’re perverts.

And we must not forget our purpose.

“Now that we’ve chased them away, that lord will cooperate. So let’s go back.”

* * *

“First of all, let me tell you. I believed you would come back wonderfully.”

Isn’t this what a lie is without even wetting your lips?

First, let’s go back to the city to announce the news that we have chased away the vampires.

The lord, who faced us, brought up these words first.

“…Well, let’s just say that.”

From the beginning, I didn’t think he would antagonize us again.

The fact that he chased away those vampires means that we are more dangerous than them.

He wouldn’t want to turn such masters into enemies.

Moreover, he was the one who prioritized his own safety just a moment ago and did not take sides with either me or the vampires.

I don’t think he will easily do foolish things.

“First of all, thank you for your cooperation… Ugh!”

I blocked Yoon Han’s mouth to roughly stop him from saying anything, and I took the lead in the negotiations.

If I leave it to this guy, he will only say superficial things and only get the minimum.

It is up to me, who has no feelings for the Empire, to be stubborn here.

“First of all, as promised, the lord must provide support.”

“…I know. I can’t say that I forgot the promise here.”

“Of course. Well, I won’t ask for much.”

I don’t have the heart to do that level of robbery.

“A map of the Empire and a carriage. That would be the necessary travel expenses.”

“I remember. But is that all?”

“No. There’s more. And…”

I smiled with only superficiality and entered into additional threats… no, negotiations.

The price for labor is fairly demanded.

The lord’s face turned pale as if he had a bad feeling.

Well, that’s none of my business.

How can you try to use people for free?

It’s not even funny. Right?

I’ll let you know what it means to bring in a tiger to chase away a fox.

“Then let’s ask for what we need without being polite.”
