"[Vampires] are feared by the public precisely because they are easy to hide among [people]. What is ridiculous is that I have clearly said this, but here I am, still looking for [vampires] everywhere, but against [people]
]Turn a blind eye.”
Although ferocious beasts are frightening, what is truly frightening is not the existence of the ferocious beast itself.
Rather, the beasts are right next to people.
No one should be afraid of a tiger thousands of miles away in the forest.
But the entire city could be thrown into chaos after a batch of venomous snakes escaped from the zoo.
Therefore, what most people fear about vampires is not their weird special abilities, but the fact that vampires may be lurking around you and me.
Animusfia was not an outstanding warrior before, and the results of several consecutive days of battle went to his head.
If he said that he never knew the characteristics of vampires, Animusfia might be more relieved.
But Animusfia was very familiar with this knowledge, so she was so frustrated.
He solved many mysteries and established many facts.
Where will [Vampire] hide?
But I stumbled on such a simple problem.
It's as depressing as if the eight-week player who had developed muscle memory for rebounds fell to the hands of the hero Guda.
"Who are you? Where are you? Why am I here?"
The silver-haired young woman was wearing exactly the same clothes as when Matthew first met her, and asked a variation of the famous three questions.
Matthew was surprised by Mrs. Nadasidi's question.
"Is it possible that you have forgotten it?"
"I...don't remember anything except my late husband."
"Is that so? Infinite resurrection? That's why we met Mrs. Nadasidi who has been being chased."
Giorgios drew the holy sword Ascalon from its sheath and faced the noble lady in mourning clothes. The sharp blade glowed faintly with purple light.
Now his doubts were finally solved.
Giorgios had been puzzled before as to why a thin noble lady could survive being hunted by so many monsters.
I'm afraid Mrs. Nadasdy has died countless times at the hands of those monsters with bent limbs and no facial features.
It's just that I don't retain the memory, so I can't detect it.
Seeing the sword pointed at her, the silver-haired young woman showed a nervous look under her dark veil.
"Who...are you? What on earth are you going to do————"
Although she lost Animusfia's Mercury magic, Mrs. Nadasti still stood firmly on the blood pool.
Facing the tip of the Spear of Uranus and the blade of Ascalon, the silver-haired young woman stepped back step by step.
Not even aware of it?
Animusfia pondered.
The [vampire] attributes held by Elizabeth Bathory are fundamentally different from those of real living vampires.
Real vampires are fantasy species like [dragons], creatures that run counter to humans.
However, unlike fantasy species, which are absolutely incompatible with humans, vampire species are a group that lives in the gap between the two.
Therefore, the vampires are still active in the world that already belongs to humans after the fantasy species have escaped into the world. They have also left many witnessing legends and are also called "Dead Apostles" by magicians.
To a certain extent, magicians who stand with one foot in the mysterious world and the other in the human world can be considered to be the same kind as vampires.
Of course, except for the fact that magicians can neither drink blood nor achieve immortality.
If we say that the existence of Dead Apostles, that is, vampires, is equivalent to humans, and they all appear together at the birth of life.
Different from the legends of eyewitnesses of Death Apostles circulating in the Balkans, the vampire as it is widely known to modern people was created by the British writer John William Polidori in his short story "The Vampire" in the early 19th century.
vampyre) was first proposed.
John William Polidori was the personal physician of the famous British poet Byron. The inspiration for "Vampire" originated from a party between Byron and his friends.
At the party, Byron suggested that everyone come up with a horror story.
So a vampire completely different from the dark-skinned and bloated Dead Apostles in Eastern European legends was born in the mind of John William Polidori.
It is worth mentioning that Mary Shelley, one of Byron's friends, also conceived the first science fiction book that influenced the world - "Frankenstein" at this gathering.
In short, in William Polidori's novel, the vampire was given the identity of a polite aristocrat for the first time, and Lord Ruthfan was born.
Subsequently, in the second half of the 19th century, Joseph Sheridan La Fennu's novel "Camilla" () was created.
Then, at the end of the 19th century, the novel "Dracula" (Dracula) by the Irish writer Abraham Bram Stoker came out.
It is separated from the ugly and irrational animal image of the Dead Apostles in ancient legends, which directly establishes the basic image of vampires-noble, gentle, and even monsters that can control other people's thoughts.
It took nearly a hundred years for the vampire, who was born out of the Dead Apostles but was different from the Dead Apostles, to remain in the memory of mankind.
Just like the ancient magicians who mistook astrology.
Since it has appeared and stayed, people still believe it.
Then there is no reason for [Vampires] not to exist, and even the Dead Apostles who are vampire prototypes are more or less infused with some characteristics of modern vampires.
Compared to the Dead Apostles, vampires represented by Dracula and Camilla are probably more of a fantasy species.
The same goes for King Arthur and Siegfried, who are based on legends that have no historical basis or are made up of things.
But these cannot explain why Mrs. Nadasidi's memory is missing.
It is also impossible to explain that the silver-haired young woman did not reveal a strange aura.
Even Giorgios, a Christian saint, regarded Mrs. Nadast as an ordinary person despite the mystery.
For just a moment, the silver-haired young woman's body exuded the aura of a vampire, which directly touched the intelligent Mercury Star.
As a result, even if Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't have time to take the initiative, he still automatically released the magic preset by Animusfia.
But if it's called magic, it's just an ordinary release of magic power.
The mercury star was created just for Fujimaru Ritsuka to defend herself, but Animusfia didn't expect it to be put to use in such a way so quickly.
He also did not guess that the Spear of Uranus and the Star of Mercury would have the opportunity to gain self-intelligence.
"You really don't remember anything? Madam."
Silver light surrounded his body, Animusfia floated and approached the silver-haired young woman, and then said:
"This is hard to explain, especially in your current situation————"
As she spoke, Animusfia tore off a button from her collar and threw it into the pool of blood at her feet.
Then, under Mrs. Nadasidi's gaze, Animusfiya's button fell straight down, and was subsequently swallowed by the bottomless blood.
"I float on this blood by magic, how about you, madam?"
When Animusfiya first met Mrs. Nadasti, she was being held in Giorgios' arms.
It must be that the young woman was unable to move freely due to the blood. In order to save her physical strength, Giorgios chose to hold Mrs. Nadasidi.
However, now Mrs. Nadasdy is able to stand on the blood surface without relying on anything, just like a vampire who can control blood at will.
It is obviously not convincing to say that the silver-haired young woman in front of her simply died and then came back to life.
Something must have changed. This chapter has been completed!
