"........"
Perhaps this is what they call a scapegoat. The "Despair King," who was blamed for the messy behavior of the "Fallen King" Fimto, asked the "Paranoia King" for answers, feeling rather speechless.
"Arykira, and what about you?"
"Boyfriend! Brody and Blood Hammer are here tonight, I want to see their amazing performance."
"All right....."
This paranoid king cannot be reasoned with. The "King of Despair" tossed a coin into the air and it fell back into his palm, showing exactly the "heads" he wanted. Anything with a probability can be made 100% possible under his power, and tonight is no exception.
"Hey—open your eyes wide and watch the show!"
Chapter 70 Z's Longest Day (The End)
Ignoring warnings, the plane hurtled towards "Helsaremz Roth," and at that moment, the many citizens who had been waiting along the coast finally saw the show they had been waiting for.
The brightly lit city was shrouded in thick fog. Just as the plane was about to invade its territory, several enormous octopus tentacles extended from the fog-covered sea. These terrifying tentacles, resembling the torso of an evil god, had tips the size of two planes. With a gentle grasp, they cleaved the plane in half.
The plane, almost completely destroyed, had only its nose section left before it crashed into "Helsaremz Roth," and the long-waiting Libra immediately began its operation.
Blood Hammer leaped from the rooftop of the building, his entire body encased in Blood Armor, soaring into the sky. He caught the nose of a falling plane mid-air before crashing into the building where Libra and the others were.
The explosion and the scattered debris were as if the citizens, though startled, calmly moved away from the vicinity, as if this were already a daily occurrence in "Helsaremz Roth".
"Leo, did you see your name clearly?"
"No... I've only seen half of it..."
"I see, I understand!"
Klaus grabbed Leo, who was still writing down the true names of his Blood World Families in his notebook, and jumped off the roof of the building. Zapp followed suit, while only Leo let out an embarrassing scream.
Klaus, disregarding the obstacles, charged into the battlefield. In mid-air, he used the "Cross Annihilation Rifle" to hit the side of the building to stop his fall. Then, he used two more shots to create a foothold and entered the large gap where the plane had crashed.
As soon as they jumped in, they were attacked by the Blood Realm's familiars. A sharp claw reached out, ready to launch a surprise attack on the three of them. Klaus first threw Leo aside, and then used "Breglid Bloodshed Combat Technique" to summon several blood crosses to bind the claw.
Only now did Leo get a clear look at this Blood World familiar. Because of the violent impact on the aircraft's nose shell, it was now a mangled mess of flesh, but it still had abundant life force regenerating rapidly. This was the "vampire" of this world—unless you knew their true name, they were practically without weaknesses.
"Are the people inside alright?"
"Who knows? Maybe the 'junior brother' the old man was talking about is already a corpse."
Klaus, who was staring at the Blood Realm Familiar but did not see the other two, had his junior brother, Zapp, bring the upper body of the Blood Realm Familiar over, according to Master "Naked Beast Juice Outer Guardian Jian Yan". However, he did not see Blood Hammer or this "junior brother" for the time being.
As for his "junior brother" who had somehow appeared out of nowhere, Zapp, that despicable scum, showed absolutely no respect and didn't say a single nice word... Perhaps this is what they mean by "a dog's mouth can't produce ivory."
As Leo carefully observed the Blood World's familiar, he was trying to discern the true name of this high-ranking vampire when he unexpectedly discovered an aura above him that resembled Zapp's but was pale blue in color.
Without much guessing or thinking, Leo quickly wrote down the true name of this Blood Realm familiar in his notebook, then tore off the page and handed it to Klaus. His work was done.
"It's finished!"
"Understood, find a place to hide."
Klaus, clutching the paper and preparing for battle, was startled by a series of thumping vibrations.
"Leo, leave him to me!"
"what?"
"ah----!!"
Blood Hammer, who had suddenly emerged from the depths of the building, was still in his "Blood Armor" state. He took the boy with the "God's Eye" on another bungee jump, even though Leo himself was screaming in fear.
As Leo landed on the ground, he suddenly felt a jolt in his eyes. He seemed to see something like blood vessels covering and connecting the entire building, but it only flashed by and disappeared, giving Leo a kind of illusion.
Once back on the ground, Leo felt increasingly uneasy, so he asked Dogu Bloodhammer beside him:
"Did you just see the red light? It enveloped the entire building..."
"Just now? No, I landed with my back to the building."
"Ah...that's true..."
Thinking he had misread the situation, Leo was preparing to relax and wait for Mr. Klaus and his team's victorious return, but at that moment, a violent change was taking place beneath "Helsaremz Roth".
Like a butterfly effect that unleashes a massive storm, or like a domino effect that starts something that causes the whole thing to collapse, the barrier that protects and holds "Helsaremz Lot" together is like a sewing bag that stitches together a broken whole. Beneath the city, there are countless such pivotal protective barriers.
This seemingly fragile and unstable barrier is actually surprisingly sturdy. It is a barrier constructed by sorcerers from two different worlds. They do not interfere with each other but fix the city as a whole. Basically, if someone wants to destroy the barrier, they can only destroy one or two places at most, and the "Sorcerer's Guild" can immediately detect, react and repair it.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there is a hub among the many barriers that protect and fix "Helsaremz Roth," which is the building where Klaus and his group are currently fighting. It acts like an anchor, linking most of the city's barriers together.
Despite the severe damage to the building, which should have been a very small chance of triggering the barrier, and despite the near impossibility that the destruction of the hub would affect the barrier as a whole, it was as if the real-life story of "a single horse nail losing a country" was being replayed, and the barrier protecting "Helsaremz Roth" was triggered.
Leo, who was looking up at the building where Klaus and the others were fighting, suddenly saw the entire building covered in a layer of blood-red light bars. Above him was the bloodline image that he had just seen connecting the building. Then, the next moment, the entire blood-red light bar burst into light and disappeared without a trace.
"What was that just now?! It's amazing, I've never seen anything like it before!!"
"this......"
Hearing Dogu Bloodhammer's joyful shouts, Leo's ominous premonition grew stronger. He recalled the words his blonde-haired little girl, Shinobu Oshino, had once spoken to him by the "Vampire King":
"The 'King of Despair' has the ability to turn any unexpected situation into a condition for him to achieve his goals; in short, he's an extremely shameless guy."
"No...no way..."
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Leo immediately called Professor Stephen. Mr. Klaus was still inside fighting, and the only person he could contact was the deputy head of "Libra." Hopefully, the situation wasn't as bad as he feared...
Chapter 71 Run!Lunch!!Run!!!
Jett O'Brien, another disciple of the master "Naked Beast Juice Outer Guardian," and also the junior brother of Zapp, is the official successor of "Bloodlust Technique: Wind God." He is a very polite and respectful half-fishman.
Leo had a good first impression of this half-fish man, Jet, feeling that compared to Zapp, that despicable scum, Jet was a rare good person.
Last night, Jet used "Blood Flow Technique: Wind God" in conjunction with Zapp's "Blood Flow Technique: Fire God" to successfully suppress the high-ranking Blood Realm familiar. Finally, Klaus used "Type 999: Ancient Coffin Binding Prison" to seal its true name.
"Naked Beast Juice Outer Guardian Jian Yan" did not make a move because this Blood Realm familiar was a joint trial he gave to his two disciples. After successfully sealing this high-ranking Blood Realm familiar, the founder of the Blood Flowing Technique left.
Jett O'Brien, Zapp's junior, is a polite half-fish who joins "Libra" at his master's command and later becomes a member of a secret society that fights for world peace.
Although the Blood Realm Familiars were sealed away very smoothly last night, Libra is anything but peaceful today, with everyone busy and anxious.
Last night, after Leo reported what he had seen to Professor Stephen, the deputy head of Libra immediately contacted the "Sorcerer's Guild" and learned that Helsaremz Lot's barrier had been shaken and damaged.
Although the barrier was suddenly destroyed by a devastating shockwave, fortunately, Helsaremz Roth's barriers are mostly of the type that do not interfere with each other. Although the destruction of one hub point caused unexplained damage to most of the barriers, it will not have any significant impact on the stability of the city overall.
Klaus and Stephen set off from Libra early this morning for the Sorcerer's Guild, while the other idlers who couldn't help were free to do their own thing.
Leo hasn't been working at the pizza shop lately. Feeling like this is a turbulent time, the boy is putting all his energy into his work in "Libra." After all, knowing that the city is in danger of being destroyed, it would be too foolish of him to pretend nothing is wrong and go to work there.
Although Leo was a newcomer who hadn't been with the group for very long, he still did his best to explain the precautions of "Libra" to the half-fish man Jet. The most important thing was that he must keep his secret of being a member of Libra in this city. If it got out, a lot of people would probably come to take his head.
On the other hand, Zapp, Jet's senior, lay on the sofa reading a magazine as if nothing had happened, showing no respect for his junior brother whatsoever. He was truly a despicable scumbag.
"Ah! Sonic, what's up?"
Sonic the Hedgehog, Leo's animal companion in this city, and one of his good friends, though he hasn't appeared much recently.
Leo, who was explaining the issues to Jet about the "Libra" organization, saw Sonic skillfully jump in through the building window, holding something that looked like a piece of paper in his hand.
The nimble Sonic Monkey leaped onto Leo's head and handed him a note. Leo, somewhat puzzled, took the note and examined it. He then saw the following words written on it:
"Foolish servant, I'm hungry! Buy me some food!!"
"Tsk...that damn brat..."
There is only one person who wrote the note in this tone: Shinobu Oshino, the blonde girl who was cared for and raised by Leo. After the "Vampire King" turned into a child, he lost his majesty and became a complete shut-in who never left the house.
Because Leo had been driven to desperation by Shinobu recently, he decided to splurge and buy a PS5, along with a whole bunch of AAA games...
After teaching Shinobu how to play games, Leo no longer had to worry about being driven to the brink of madness by this blonde little girl. But he wondered if it was a good thing to turn a child into such a shut-in good-for-nothing... However, considering that Shinobu's actual age was unknown, Leo's last shred of conscience was extinguished.
Shinobu became a shut-in, spending all her time playing games alone at Leo's house when there was nothing necessary to do. When she got hungry, she would simply call her own stupid servant to buy food, living a happy life she had never imagined before... Indeed, games change destiny!
Considering that he might be bitten to death by the blonde little girl if he didn't follow orders, Leo decided to go buy food for Shinobu. It was almost time anyway... He asked Zapp, who was lying on the sofa, "..."
"Mr. Zapp, would you like to go out for lunch?"
"Oh...it's already this time, okay."
"Mr. Jett, please come along too!"
After calling Zapp, Leo extended an invitation to his half-fish colleague who had just joined "Libra." Before he could even hear Jet's reply, Zapp said sarcastically from the side:
"Leo, you bastard, why did you invite him? The food will smell fishy!"
"Then forget it..."
Leo, having left those words behind, had already arrived beside Jet, pushing the half-fish who had just joined "Libra" by the back as they headed towards the elevator.
“I’m going with Mr. Jeter. People who say things like that should just die.”
"Hey! Wait a minute..."
Zapp, who had chased after them, was scorned by Leo, which hurt the scumbag's pride. He deliberately wanted to pick a fight with his junior brother, and then shamelessly followed them.
Arriving on the streets of Hersalemz Lot, watching the endless stream of human and otherworldly citizens pass by, Leo followed Zapp to their destination for lunch, "Fish Sushi Restaurant".
Leo, drenched in sweat, stood outside staring at the sign. "This is totally the wrong place!" he thought. Meanwhile, Zapp, a smug grin on his face, said:
"Ugh~~ There's really nothing good to eat here!"
"Indeed..."
Jett nodded in agreement and was about to walk straight into the store when Zapp, stunned and caught off guard, asked in surprise:
"Hey! Something's not right... You're going in?"
"what do you mean?"
"What do you mean... fish! Fish... they're actually killing each other... cannibalism..."
"Otherwise what? What do you think fish that live in the sea usually eat? They are creatures that live in the sea as well."
After briefly explaining the situation, Jet decided to retaliate against Zapp without hesitation.
"Someone like you who picks fights in such a low-level way isn't even considered ill-mannered. If you understand, then hurry up and go inside to eat. Otherwise, you can just get lost by yourself."
"........"
Thus began another arduous day for Leo, and the life of "Hersaremz Roth" continued as before.
Chapter 72 Hello, world! (Part 1)
"I feel...so unlucky..."
Having traveled all over Hersalemz Roth in search of lunch, experiencing various misfortunes and setbacks, Leo was now delirious and rambling incoherently. He had thought he could finally have a hamburger at Miss Vivian's restaurant, but instead, the battlefield where his boss, Mr. Klaus, and Professor Stephen were fighting an enemy had arrived here.
The restaurant, which was almost monthly at the time, was infuriating. Leo, Zapp, and Jet were caught up in the fight, and by the time it ended, they had no idea what time it was.
Leo hurriedly ate something and rushed home, only to encounter a hungry blonde girl. He was almost bitten to death by Shinobu in his own home. It could be said that all the misfortunes came together on this one day.
"Let me...die... then..."
Lying on his bed, not wanting to move at all, Leo's arms and neck were covered with deep teeth marks. Because the bites hadn't broken the skin and caused bleeding, even his superhuman healing abilities were ineffective, leaving Leo in his current miserable state.
While eating a donut, Shinobu sat on a mat on the ground playing games. After getting over her anger, the brat let go of her stupid servant. This was Leo's unfortunate daily life.
"Ah...right!"
Having revived from his dead state, Leo asked the blonde little girl, who was still playing a game, a question.
"You know, maybe my bad luck today is also the work of the 'King of Despair'... Didn't you say he has the ability to make probability 100% accurate?"
"You're overthinking it... Putting aside why the 'King of Despair' would deliberately make things difficult for someone as insignificant as you, aren't my servants just as unlucky every day?"
"That's so heartbreaking..."
Recalling all the things that happened to him after arriving at "Helsarem's Lot," Leo felt a pang of sadness after hearing Shinobu's words... Couldn't he at least offer some comfort...?
"Have the 'Fanggari' and the others found any trace of the 'King of Despair'? That guy is probably possessing someone's body right now."
"Not yet... However, part of the city's barrier was damaged yesterday, and Mr. Klaus, Professor Stephen, and the Sorcerer's Guild are conducting an emergency investigation."
"It's a pointless act. Unless the 'King of Despair' actively reveals his intentions, it's very difficult for others to track down or stop him, and they may not even know how he will achieve his goal."
"Even so... we can't just stand by and watch him do bad things without stopping him, can we?!"
"That's settled then. Good luck, you silly servant~~"
Shinobu ignored Leo and focused on her game. Whether Helsaremz Loth's existence was unimportant to this "Vampire King" was perhaps irrelevant; maybe this warm and comforting home offered her a brief respite, and she now looked at Leo with a sliver of hope...
