The Devil Tears: Lord of the Night
Arc 1 Chapter 24: Mutants

When they made it to the surface, the sky was dark and the streets around the city began to be rather quiet.

Luciel and Liz then headed to the location of the Guild and found the Guild condition was crowded. When they entered, the Hunters inside were questioning Gunter, Ludwig and Amelia's team about the details of their Extermination Quest.

“ Ah Liz you're okay – what? “ Ludwig then approached Liz.

“ Hey, they're seriously injured. Quickly call a Healer here “ A Hunter then approach them.

A Healer then heals wounds – wounds Luciel and Liz. But they still looked exhausted and Luciel still looked pale from blood loss while fighting the creature.

Ordinary healing magic used by the Hunters or the Temple Priests could not replace the blood that had been lost from the body, they could only close and regenerate the wounds suffered by humans.

“ Very well young man, can you tell me how you can escape from there? “ A Guild Master then asks for detailed info from Luciel and Liz.

Liz then tells from the beginning of their Extermination Quest and how they gave birth to the Creature. Luciel then shows a ball coming from the creature and some parts of the body of the creature he is fighting.

“ This is a Mutant,“ said a Hunter Rank Gold

“ What do you mean by mutant sir? “ Ask Luciel curious.

“ Mutants is a monster or human who has undergone magic experiments, and the ball you hold is a mana Core “.

The Mana Core was a Mana Core of every living being, of which the Mana Core and other humanoid beings were the heart. However it was different for a mutant who used an artificial Mana Core for himself to be able to use mana.

“ After hearing the stories of the hunters who followed the Quest there, I'm sure this is an experiment conducted by Devil Cult “ Devil Cult is an Organization that works together with demons to achieve their goals by means of – illegal ways such as, Human sacrifice, human sacrifice, human spirit experiments and other actions.

“ I guess this Mutant is the result of the Devil Cult experiment that last week the Holy Knights hunted “ After asking for detailed information against the hunters who run the Quest. The Guild Master then spoke.

“ You will all receive compensation from the Guild. Because the Guild sent its Hunter – hunter into a dangerous place without checking the details of the Monster that inhabited it first “ Guild Master then approached Luciel and Liz.

“ And for those of you who managed to defeat this Mutant, which only Silver Rank hunters and above are able to fight against. Guild will give 1 Gulden to you guys “

Hearing this, Luciel and Liz jumped up in excitement.

“ They are great kids – kids,“ said Ray.

“ Yes, I alone might not be able to kill a Mutant.“

Even for Hunters who have Silver Rank, fighting a Mutant in a place that Mutant – mutants are good at risk.

After the affair with the Guild was over, Luciel and Liz began to return to their inn. Unlike when morning and noon, the streets are now filled with poles – lantern poles that make the streets of the City look more aesthetic.

“ Hey Ciel, Thank you for saving me earlier “

“ Well, Liz also saved me earlier,“ Luciel replied casually.

“ Ciel always comes when, I'm very in an emergency. “

“ I've talked to you about this. “

“ Umm…. “ Liz then nodded and smiled.

“ By the way – by the way, we will what is the money “ Ask Liz to Luciel.

“ Of course bought you a more decent fixture as hunter “ Luciel then pointed to Liz's body.

“ If Liz has an Armor suit, then fighting the creature will be easy for you. You don't have to focus too much on your defense against the enemy,“ Luciel said.

“ Yes, according to Ciel what should I wear? “

“ I think, Leather Armor will suit you. Because it won't be too restrictive on Liz's movements. And I think for your level now the Leather Armor is good,“ explained Luciel.

“ Alright. “

“ Tomorrow we will leave this city. In the next City we will buy – new fixtures for you “

Ludwig POV

“ You are lucky to still be able to live boy “ Captain Roland after listening to the story from Ludwig then give some advice.

“ Fighting a mutant in a place he mastered was extremely difficult. Even I just have to expend all my abilities to defeat him “.

“ Captain, will you teach me Martial Magic techniques. When I was there so useless you know “ Ludwig's expression looked so gloomy.

“ Hehh... Don't you just want to impress the girl? “ Ernest Syndicate.

Ludwig was simply embarrassed.

Ludwig nodded.

“ Alright, tomorrow when the troupe is on break we will start. I'll teach you Martial Arts using Magic. “

“ Thank you Captain. “

The next day, the caravans of the Society of Maburg gathered at the southern entrance of the City. After the first bell rang, the Caravan Master then announced their departure.

“ Our next destination is Tyrol City. We'll get there about – about 2 days. After passing through the City we will enter the Rhine Duchy Region “

The group began to leave the city of Alemania.

...Yeriel ur Dracul's...

In a valley there is a magnificent castle. The owner of the castle was a family of descendants of the famous Vampire Nobles, Right Hand Demon King Vampire Lord Dracula. In the battle between the Alliance with the Demon King's Army. Dracula was defeated when he fought 3 of the 8 heroes who attacked the Demon King.

At this time, the descendants of – of his descendants inhabited a Castle in the Florentian Republic. They disguise themselves as businessmen. But to the Vampires, the Dracul Family was one of the 7 Pureblood Vampires who came from the demon continent and had a high status for the Vampires.

At this time the head of the Dracul family was Vlad ur Dracul who, at this time was having dinner with his only –-year-old sister who he had.

“ How was my beloved sister's dinner? Is it according to your taste “ In front of her a Platinum haired Girl then replied.

“ Of course big brother, I think this is a roasted pigeon that is popular in the Capital, right? “ The girl's eyes were as blue as Ice looking at her brother's face who had the same hair as her.

“ There is nothing I can hide from you my sister “ They then eat their food and continue the chatter.

“ Mmm.. Good blood quality, Your farm business is pretty good Yeriel “

“ Of course “ Vlad then drink all the blood in his glass with one gulp.

“ So, what do you want to talk to me about Yeriel? “

“ Is brother right – will really do it? “ Vlad who heard the words of his sister then looked at him with his red eyes.

“ Of course Yeriel, our Nation has been hiding and hunted for too long by that despicable creature! “ Her brother then put on a terrible expression.

“ But the other 6 Families do not want to follow your plan brother “

The combination between 7 pure noble families of Vampires could even be on par with the power that a country possessed.

“ That's no problem, I will make a Conjunction and will get enough troops “

“ Isn't that too rash? “

“ Oh my beloved sister “ Vlad then approached Yeriel.

“ Are you worried about me? You think I'll die at the hands of the – followers of the trash Goddess? “

“ They are now dominating this continent, and their Knights are where - where “ Jeriel replied casually.

In fact, the Geneva Theocracy has a strong enough authority in every Land of the Asgardian continent except in the Sandrise Alliance and the great Greenwood Forest.

“ After my plan is successful, those who will be destroyed and the Devils will come back again Succeeded when the King leads first. The other Noble Vampires will also follow me when they see my success. “

“ You weren't even born at the time, put on my plan Brother “ Yeriel again persuaded his stubborn brother.

“ I am the current Head of the Dracul Family Yeriel, we will use my way and you must obey him. “

Vlad left Yeriel alone. Although his older brother Vlad was very disliked by the other Vampire nobles, Yeriel always gave him support because he was one of the only – remaining Yeriel family. His father and mother died 20 years ago during a major purgatory mission – magnitudes undertaken by the Geneva Theocracy. Now there are only two left of the Dracul family.

"Alfred come here.“ Yeriel called his loyal servant.

“Connect Mr. Stefano from the family in Milano, I will pay a visit to his residence,“ orders Yeriel.

“Alright Miss.“

After the servant left, Yeriel went to the balcony of the castle to see the darkness of the night in the valley.

“I must prepare if my brother will indeed destroy the Rhine Duchy with a Conjunction,“ Yeriel murmured while rounding off his resolve.
