The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 24: The City of Rondelia and the Incident

2 Days have passed.

Ren lives in prison doing nothing. As with the usual prisoners, Ren was only given a simple meal once a day.

It was actually easy for Ren to get out of this prison. But that he did not do, the Vampire conquest operation made him patient to survive in this prison longer.

Moreover, a person named Rin-Yu has a cheerful and kind personality.

Talking to Rin-Yu slightly treats the loneliness that Ren is experiencing. Rin-Yu is the first person to make Ren laugh sincerely in this world.

'Sok night, this operation is done yes.'

Ren muttered, once again he thought about what Rin-Yu said.

Rin-Yu is just an ordinary man, lacking any skills in fighting.

She lives with her sister in a simple house. Both Rin-Yu's parents have died since Rin-Yu was a child.

From then on, Rin-Yu feels responsible for taking care of her one-on-one older sister. He works whatever is given by the community around him.

According to Rin-Yu, Rondelia City is ruled by a Duke named Tayslen who is Cunning and Cruel.

Duke Tayslen is only concerned with power and wealth, his personality is really bad. Duke Fedel of Ceeven City who was supposed to be the one who governed this region was replaced by Duke Tayslen suddenly.

Ren is convinced that Duke Tayslen did something fraudulent in this case.

Then, Rin-Yu tells the story of the Vampire who terrorized this city since 4 days ago. The first victim of this Vampire was Duke Tayslen's own Counsel.

A witness who is a servant of Duke Tayslen sees that there is a figure that looks like a Vampire and has wings on his back on the night of the incident. A while after the servant saw a figure like a Vampire. Counselor Duke Tayslen was found dead tied to a chair with claw wounds on his body and face.

At first, Duke did not spread the information about this Vampire to the general public. However, after the second day many Victims throughout the City made the Duke forced to issue a standby order and forbid anyone to roam the night alone.

It just so happened that by the time Ren arrived in this city. The Duke's daughter, the woman Ren hates coming home from the Capital to help her father deal with this Vampire.

According to Rin-Yu the woman is a famous Knight of Aulzania. This statement left Ren a little surprised.

'How can a bad-mannered woman be accepted into the Knights of Aulzania who are said to be an elite force among the elite?'

That was what Ren thought when he heard this.

'Huh..... A Vampire, huh? even the knights of Aulzania had to use bait, it meant that Vampires were strong right?'

Ren thought about this, indeed ever since he moved to this world. No enemy can defeat him. But, this world must not be that easy, powerful enemies must be waiting for Ren out there.

Therefore, Ren could not act rashly by attracting too much attention for now. Although this Vampire sounds ordinary, it does not rule out the possibility if he is stronger than Ren expected.

'Actually, I feel sorry for you. But what's possible, I don't have anyone to trust for now.'

Ren looks at Rin-Yu who is asleep. It is midnight, and the operation will be carried out tomorrow night.

Ren averted his gaze, as soon as Ren remembered something...

'I haven't seen an Inventory in a long time, let's go in there.'

Ren gathered the mana on the ring that was on his finger. Unlike before, this time Ren could do it very easily. Even Ren can make an inventory door as he wishes.

This time, because many Ren people made a dark and inconspicuous door.

As soon as Ren entered, a familiar sight entered his sight.

Items - Items in the Game float in a transparent Cube.

The item here was a collection of items that Ren had collected intentionally or accidentally. Although the items here are amazingly many, not necessarily all there are.

An example is Elixir, a supreme Drug that Alchemy can create.

Able to treat all diseases, curses and wounds of any kind.

Even if Elixir is supplemented by a special ingredient called God Tear its effect can revive one's life. That's the description in the game about Elixir.

Elixir is one of the rarest items in the COTHENIC Game.

By the time Ren will level up to become the Alchemy Master. One of its additional requirements is to create an Elixir. The difficulty is very high, lucky Developer to provide convenience with other Terms that Make 10,000 top level potions within one day.

'Well, forget Elixir for now.'

Ren walks in that inventory, looking at and looking at the items that are inside.

Then Ren moved from the Herbs and Medicinal Plants Group to the weaponry.

Right now the weapon Ren was looking for was a.....

'Ah 'ah.. Magic wand, here you guys are.'

All the Jobs that Ren has have been maximized. Only, Ren preferred to use the Job Swordsman and Blood Ruler. For Mage and Fighter only Ren use for a certain moment.

Therefore, the magic wand that Ren had only amounted to 17 pieces. If calculated by what Ren gave to Arisu it only amounted to 18 pieces.

Usually a Mage will focus on one or two elements only.

Because basically every Element has its own higher Job.

Like Job Saint, that person must maximize his Light Element and water to open the Saint job.

While Ren, greedily focused and developed himself on all the Elements. Therefore Ren should be able to get a higher Job element. But balancing with the Job Swordsman will be more difficult going forward.

Make Ren not add to his Job again, for a while.

'Hm.. My opponent is a vampire, right? he should have been weak to light magic. But, just in case I'll take this.'

Ren took out a stick from the transparent cube. The stick has three colors, White, Gold and Red.

These three colors bandage the stick beautifully. This wand also emitted a glittering golden Light.

'This is why I don't like the magic wand, too conspicuous. Although I take the simplest in terms of appearance.'

Ren grumbled in his heart, the magic wand he had in his hand was [Light King Wand] had the main element of light and fire sub-elements.

'I wonder why women like such flashy things.'

Ren said in his heart back. Then walk towards the exit he had created.

It was impossible for Ren to bring this Stick directly. So Ren would put this stick near the entrance of the Inventory. So that Ren can take it at any time just by entering his hands into the inventory.

This method Ren discovered when he realized that the entrance of the inventory was always in the same place.

'Well it's done, let's go back and get some sleep.'

Ren got out of his inventory.People in prison didn't realize this. Making Ren breathe a sigh of relief, then Ren lay down and closed his eyes.

"Hoi Ren, how is it? you ready to be bait?" Rin-Yu sneers at Ren who looks dreamy.

"Ready to Die you mean? just sorry I still want to live" Ren replied to Rin-Yu with a sneer.

They laughed, as if there were no burdens in their hearts.

Although this operation is dangerous and risks lives.

As they laughed and joked together, a few soldiers came over.

"Hey, the operation will start tonight. Let's get out."

Ren and Rin-Yu are led out, along with the people in this prison. They walked through a dark path lit only by candles.

By the time they came out, it turned out that their place had been locked up was the Duke's own residence.

In the courtyard of the Duke Mansion people gathered. There were people wearing clothes like priests, some tens of soldiers. As well as Gyslen who was surrounded by handsome men who wore different weapons.

Ren, who always sees Gyslen surrounded by handsome men, whispers to Rin-Yu.

"Why is that damn woman always surrounded by handsome men?" Ren spoke slowly.

"On that, I don't know for sure either. But there's a rumor that says he has a hobby of collecting handsome men." Rin-Yu spoke in a disgusted tone

"Collecting? it's like stuff, but those guys don't matter to the other guys?" Ren said with disdain.

"I also feel strange about this, he's near sssttt." Rin-yu ends the conversation.

Ren, Rin-Yu and the other lures are gathered in one place.

Then the assembled troops began to surround Ren and Rin-Yu. This is because

Gyslen himself along with the handsome men were centrally close to Ren and the other bait.

Gyslen then gave an aba - an aba to keep everything quiet.

"Ehm!. Listen out! Tonight, we will eradicate the miserable Vampires that have been terrorizing this City for several days. I, this great and beautiful Gyslen Vindecurt myself will step in!" Gyslen spoke arrogantly.

Proks. Proks. Proks.

Applause was heard from the troops - the existing troops.

"Because the Vampires are so cowardly, tonight I'm going to use these pathetic people as bait!" Gyslen pointed at Ren and the others.

"I'm sure the Vampires will come out and be attracted by these pathetic lures. As soon as the Vampire shows up, I'm gonna finish it off until it's gone." Gyslen was still continuing his annoying speech.

"All right, everyone, get ready! and gather again later, I'll explain the plan!" Gyslen gave the order.

Troops - The swarming troops are now dispersed and preparing themselves.

Leave only Gyslen and the handsome men around him.

"As expected of Miss Gyslen, you were amazing in your speech. I Zell will be your bodyguard and faithfully follow you." Zell looked down and smiled at Gyslen.

"really? I like that, but say it right. Between me and the Moon Princess who's prettier?" Gyslen said, Her tone looks a little displeased.

"Of course you are, Nonaku." Zell answered quickly, followed by a smile on her face.

"Really? Well done, you're my best man." Gyslen was a little embarrassed by Zell's words.

A bitch and a jerk feel embarrassed? there is only growing disgust in Ren and Rin-Yu's hearts.

Gyslen also reassembled the troops who had prepared. He explained the Vampire Annihilation Plan in front of everyone.

Ren and Rin-Yu inevitably admit, that the woman they hate does have a little expertise in this.

"Only that, now prepare in their respective positions." Gyslen.

Unfortunately, Ren and Rin-Yu are used as bait in separate places.

Ren berada dekat pelabuhan, sementara Rin-Yu berada di pasar utama kota ini.

Unfortunately at Ren's place, the troops preparing to ambush the Vampires are not Gyslen and the handsome men themselves. Except for a few Priests prepared by Gyslen, as well as a few additional warriors.

Ren and two other thin men were tied together. Then the soldiers shed blood on Ren who was the bait. The smell of blood quickly spread through the air.

'I changed my mind, that damn woman wasn't good at Plan Things at all. Which Foolish Vampire would attack the bait clearly like this?'

Ren cursed at Gyslen and his troops. Although Ren's body looks dirty from disguise, it's all just dust and fake soil.

But now, his entire body was filled with blood. Ren had almost run out of patience and was intending to beat up the soldiers who poured blood on him.

Luckily, Ren still had a little more patience. Otherwise, those soldiers would be sent on a nightmare of more than death.

After doing various things, the soldiers and the priest went into hiding.

Waiting for the Vampire to eat one of the bait they had prepared.

If one of the lures managed to pull the Vampire away, a light mark would be shot into the sky. Then the whole army will finish them off, that's the plan.

10 Minutes passed... Nothing happened.

20 Minutes passed....

30 Minutes....

40 Minutes later...

A person wearing a black covered Coat approached the bait. His figure that was walking leisurely was seen from a distance.

Priests and warriors signaled to each other to prepare.

The priests prepared their wands and magic, while the soldiers prepared their own weapons.

The black-robed figure was getting closer to Ren. When the distance between Ren and the figure was only a few meters left.

Priests cast their magic simultaneously. The prepared soldiers jumped from hiding and surrounded the figure.

"Magic top! Holy Judgment!" The priests shouted at the same time.

Instantly, Under the black-robed figure, some of the light formed a golden-coloured magic circle. After the Circle was perfectly formed, a dazzling Light exploded within a dome-shaped area surrounding the figure.

"Did it work?"

Priests and warriors asked in their hearts.

The light died down, until finally the whole Light disappeared.

The black-robed figure was now lying helplessly.

"We succeeded? without asking Miss Gyslen for help? maybe this Vampire is so weak." One of the priests spoke.

One soldier decided to examine the corpse of the cloaked figure.

The soldier turned over his body and opened his face cover.

That's when they woke up.....

"Impossible?! this isn't a vampire?!" The Priests and Soldiers shouted in shock.

The figure behind the Cloak was not a Vampire, but an ordinary human.

But since he was affected by Holy Judgment meant that he had some kind of dark power within him.

"What's this?! That vampire used bait just like us?!" A Priest shouted.

"That! Hey look!" Another Priest pointed towards the sky.

It was then, that everyone was shocked, in the dark night sky. Some Light is seen there, the Light is a marker that In that place there is the figure of the Vampire.

"Is it the same elsewhere?" One of the Priests spoke in astonishment.

Tuk.Tuk.Tuk.Toks.

A few relaxed footsteps sounded. Make the priests and warriors be alert and enter the Battle Mode.

"Who's there?!" A Priest shouted.

The footsteps were heard walking, but at the same time it sounded like an illusion.

The person who walked did not appear at all. They were getting clear hearing those footsteps.

This time, every leg was heard. One lamp that is illuminated will be extinguished. One by one the lights went out, again and again. All this happened until the last light went out.

"Get out you cowards." Priest shouting.

"Based on fucking cowards, where are you guys?" Another priest shouted.

Proks.

The sound of one clap of hands was heard, as soon as all the lights that were extinguished arrived - suddenly lit up again.

The priests got their eyesight back. So too with the soldiers. But, not far from them, the figure of a man wearing a mask and wearing a strange shirt appeared. Along with the other figures behind the man.

"You finally showed up! A coward!"

"Coward? don't make me laugh. Just because you are honored as Priests and messengers of gods. You guys can be this arrogant?" The masked man's figure said, his tone was so cold and piercing.

The Priests who heard such an intimidating voice trembled slightly.

"Guh! How dare you heretics make us Priests tremble a little like this!" A Priest shouted.

"Really! You're just perverts!" Another priest spoke.

"Hoho... Perverted?you're just a bunch of cockroaches don't deserve to say that." The figure of the man pointed at the Priests and the soldiers.

"Ah... Right too, let's try. Use that Holy Judgment skill that you are proud of me. Let's see, thanks to the gods who is stronger. Me or you." The man indicated the priests to attack.

The Priests who heard this were wrathful, and stared intently at the man.

"Bad you!"

"How dare you insult our god?!"

"You're too much of a pervert!"

The Priests were preparing to launch Holy Judgment once again.

Although, Holy Judgment drained a lot of their mana.

"Judgement Holy!" The priest shouted at the same time.

A golden-coloured magic circle appeared under the figure of the man as well as the people behind him.

The man did not flinch nor fear, there was only an evil aura coming out of his body.

."Ahaha! Good, this is good. Let's take a look.. Abyss Eater!"

From the man's body, it seeped out a dense aura of darkness.

Slowly - the land revolved around her, then the aura of darkness enveloped the Magic Circle of Holy Judgment.

"Feel the despair of absolute power." The man spoke mockingly.

The aura of Darkness continued to wrap around Holy Judgment for a while.

The aura of Darkness disappeared, accompanied by the disappearance of his Holy Judgment.

The Priests who saw this were in disbelief, their Holy Judgment was defeated by the Magic of the perverse before them.

"M-Must-ahil!"

"Our great si-hir!"

"Was she?!"

The priests immediately put on pale and sweaty faces. The magic that they were proud of being able to wipe out all sorts of darkness was now defeated by the darkness magic before their eyes.

Unlike the frightened Priests, the figure of the man laughed, whether what kind of face was behind the mask.

"Haha! A blessing from a god is just that?! Huhahah!..." The man continued to laugh mocking the Priests.

"Hiii... He's creepy, run!!!" One priest tried to run.

"uh? You guys, kill them. No one can survive." The masked man said to the people behind him.

"Retreat! We need Miss Gys-"'s help"

Srattsss

One priest fell and fell, along with blood spurting.

"Teen-"

Sprasttts

"Come! We're mun-"

Srasssttt

Priests and warriors tried to run as far as possible. But, once they moved, it would be instantly subverted.

Making the Blood everywhere, the air gives off a pungent fishy smell.

"A group of arrogant weaklings.." The man speaks for himself...

"Easy! let's go to where the main dishes appear!" The man shouted, then his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness of the night.
