Ugh…
Something seems to have happened. It’s been a few minutes since they took down those sentries. After a quiet period, aside from the argument happening not far below, nothing else has occurred.
This place is relatively safe—a balcony beneath a wall, surrounded by walls on both sides. But judging by the travel time and the light levels, the south gate wall should be just ahead.
The wall is still so high. Even if I activated 【Intermediate · Flight】 now, I still couldn’t reach the top.
The ringing in my ears has improved a lot, but my vision is still blurry, and my hearing isn’t clear either. The fuzzy images and muffled sounds just don’t add up. Although I can speak now, it’s probably better to keep my mouth shut for the moment.
If I were an elf, a vampire, or some other race with strong sensory abilities, maybe I could understand what’s happening outside right now. But unfortunately, even though I’ve been given BOSS-like traits, I’m still human in the end. But being human isn’t so bad. Looking on the bright side, at least I’m still an individual, not bound by conditions or living in constant fear.
Enough of that. There’s no point dwelling on it. I should focus on how to get through this sudden crisis.
I’m sitting on the ground. It seems carrying me while moving was quite draining, so the young vampire put me down—and because of that, he didn’t join the fight, saving his peak stamina for movement.
So, either he’s not skilled at using magic in combat, or he has limited magical reserves himself. Both are possible. The key point is to take out the other two.
Alright, alright. For me right now, that’s still a bit of a pipe dream. It’s not impossible, but it would leave me with irreversible consequences.
“[Unintelligible]… HELLO, Surprise, vampires.”
A sudden, intrusive voice cut through the previously harmonious discussion. Because 【Soul Perspective】 is still active, I clearly saw a bright golden soul appear directly above me—to be precise, standing on top of the wall behind me.
After that soul appeared, the vampires beside me immediately panicked. One of them even grabbed my shoulder, trembling. Through my sweater, I couldn’t tell if they were male or female, but well, it’s equally unpleasant either way.
Before long, a terrifying sensation washed over the top of my head, as if an overwhelming magical fluctuation had appeared that my current mode couldn’t withstand. A holy light flashed in my vision, shining down on me. The heavy sense of crisis made me think I was about to die right here.
However, at that moment, I was grabbed roughly, and then came a leap. Still from that rear-view mirror perspective, I saw a glowing, unidentified sphere—
The next second, it exploded instantly, affecting both the wall and us mid-air. A powerful shockwave hit me head-on, and I was struck in the head by what felt like a piece of rubble. This time, the flowing liquid clearly indicated I was injured.
As if hit by something, the person carrying me went limp at the shoulder and dropped me mid-air. Stunned, before I could even process the injury, I fell onto the floor like a ragdoll—it hurt, worse than the headache.
This was a fall from about three modern stories high. Thanks to my inherent physique, I just coughed up some blood onto the stone floor instead of dying outright. After being so injured, paralyzed, and now this again… I really dread to think what the future holds. Situations like this are bound to happen many more times.
Is this the peaceful life an ordinary person would want? Forget it. To hell with it.
“Ugh… cough… ahem, ahem…” I struggled to get up from the ground, but my physical condition was still poor. I could only lie there motionless, like a corpse.
How annoying… When will my body recover? I’m growing incredibly impatient.
Maybe my body, the game system, or some other messy thing heard my silent plea, because at that moment, my hearing returned to normal.
My surroundings suddenly became filled with clear information.
The quiet arguing between the guards and someone, the whispered discussions of the vampires, and the sound of heavy footsteps coming from another direction. Huh? Not far away, below the destroyed balcony, there was the sound of someone landing.
The sounds were still a bit muffled, but it was enough.
“Didn’t expect you to react so quickly. I actually missed with that shot.”
Right now, in real time, it’s probably the middle of the night. Are these people all hardcore night owls or something? Don’t they sleep? Or do they have an urgent mission?
“Ugh…”
“Waaah! V-Vampires! Sir, let’s take another route!”
“You there! Don’t make any sudden moves, or we’ll deal with you according to regulations!”
“Eek!”
“Not you.”
An interesting conversation. It almost made me laugh… though of course I couldn’t. I don’t even have the strength to move; did you think I’d be in the mood to laugh?
“Don’t move, or I’ll shoot your legs.”
“Damn it! This—! I’ve got an idea.”
As soon as the words were spoken, I was grabbed again. But this time, it wasn’t as comfortable as a few minutes ago. It was rough, like being taken hostage. He pinned my arms behind my back and held me by the neck. Since I couldn’t stand, my legs dragged on the ground like a mop.
Naturally, in a situation with no escape and a powerful opponent, having a weak girl as a hostage is the perfect means of escape.
Well, now I’ve personally experienced what it feels like to be a hostage.
“If anyone comes closer, I’ll kill her.”
“Hey! Alan, how could you—”
“Miss Camilla, it can’t be helped. Let Alan do it.”
After the vampires resolved it among themselves, the one holding me started moving in a certain direction, seemingly heading through the city gate. But my legs were really suffering, being dragged along like that.
It’s a bit of a cliché scenario, common in movies and shows. I’m used to it by now.
The guards’ souls stayed in place, but they were agitated. The golden soul maintained the minimum distance possible, clearly calm and confident of victory.
“You have nowhere left to run.”
“Then get out of my way!”
“…Fine. Reid, signal the guys waiting outside. See? I’m a man of my word. Now let the girl go.”
“No way. Who knows if you have other ambushes waiting?”
This vampire named Alan is quite shrewd. No matter what the guards said, he had a counter. In that case, why didn’t he use this eloquence earlier when confronting me? Oh, right, I basically cut him off without listening.
Quite the skilled negotiator.
“Eek! Don’t come closer! Stay back!”
“You there! Get down here. Leave the carriage.”
“You… Sir, perhaps it would be best to comply. I will compensate you for your losses afterwards.”
“T-this… Alright, let’s get out of here!”
After a few panicked voices, several people jumped off the carriage, their voices fading into the distance. And I, of course, was dragged onto it.
Inside the carriage, I was handed over to another vampire. While it wasn’t as uncomfortable as before, the sharp sensation against my back was a constant reminder that my life was under threat.
What exactly do these vampires want with me? Will this never end?
Ugh… I’m hungry… No choice. Time for some fruit.
I mustered all my strength to move my right hand towards my pocket, but it was immediately grabbed—
“You, what are you trying to do?”
“…Hungry… Eat… fruit…” My language center seems fine, and there’s no reason to lie.
He seemed to understand. He took the fruit out of my pocket for me and slowly fed it into my mouth.
Maybe because of the intense activity and everything, the fruit wasn’t very fresh anymore, but it was still good for quenching thirst and restoring energy. After a few pieces, my satiety level increased by half.
A horse neighed, and then the carriage started moving rapidly. To think that today would finally end with me leaving the city.
It’s over. It’s over. I really want to sleep, but I can’t.
Alec, Elph, Miss Hui Hui, I’ve finally taken the first step. Next, I’ll go to 【Felterro】 to reunite with you.
We’ll meet again someday. Maybe we’ll even meet again tomorrow.
Goodbye, 【Maletes】. We won’t be seeing each other again. Probably…
Lyle, I wonder how he’s doing. Since he’s a friend of Alec’s, he’s probably trying to find me or contact him. He’s a good person. A really good person.
But it’s none of my business anymore.
….
…
..
Ugh, so am I just going to be dragged along by these vampires like this?
…..
“Is she asleep?”
“I think… no. It seems she’s been through things someone her age shouldn’t have to endure.”
“Did my actions scare her?”
“Of course they did. If it were me… I might have hit you back.”
“Miss Camilla, Alan, where are we going next?”
“…I’m not really sure either. But let’s head for a city that accepts non-human races.”
“Speaking of which, I have an old friend who lives in 【Felterro】, known as the ‘City of Demi-Humans’. Let’s go there.”
“Yeah, that should work. Jarjet, you—? Wow, fell asleep fast, as usual.”
“Hey, Camilla, do you know how to get to 【Felterro】?”
“Huh? Don’t you know?”
“That’s why I’m asking you… So, you don’t know either?”
…..
“Ah, they got away… Whatever, our duty was just to— Huh? Oh, if it isn’t Benjamin.”
“Sir Winter, what happened here?”
“Oh, some vampires from the north escaped through here. They had a hostage, so my hands were tied.”
“What? This… cough cough Prince Lyle asked me to give you a message. It goes like this——————”
“What? That kid got captured again? By vampires? Then… No wonder! I thought that girl looked familiar, it was her—! Where’s Lyle?! I need to see him.”
“Ah? His Highness is on his way here now.”
