Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 213

As the people are celebrating the sudden change in the tides of the battle against the Vampires, Cyril is still thinking of another problem.

He didn’t cover the whole city with his Domain after all. It means that many Vampires had escaped his clutches and most likely reported the situation to the noble vampires that are stationed around the city.

“Haa~ This is a lot harder than I thought… I still have to maintain my Domain until they’re finished…”

Cyril muttered as he consumed another vial of potion.

Apparently, ordering the Vampires to kill themselves is quite impossible. If he did such a desperate move, there might be a chance for the Vampires to get out of his Staff’s mind control.

They would greatly reject such an order after all.

However, if he just gives them a command to kill the nearest vampire with them, then it would become a little acceptable and the mind control wouldn’t be resisted a lot.

The only concern now is that Cyril must maintain the Domain throughout the whole time to influence them effectively.

After over ten minutes and spending almost all of his Aura Recovery Potion, Cyril realized that it was the right time to release the Domain and let the Soldiers deal with the rest.

‘There are only a few weakened vampires. The soldiers should be enough to deal with them. I need to move to another location.’ Cyril assessed the situation before he decided to leave the place.

He looked in the direction of the Municipal Hall where Asta’s group is facing the Vampire Prince.

‘They’re still not finished… I guess I have to help them, huh.’ Cyril thought as he looked at the remaining recovery potion that he has.

Unfortunately, he was only left with three more Potions and he still has vampires to deal with on the other side of the city.

“It should be quick anyway…” Cyril muttered as he finally left his spot and moved to where Asta’s group is fighting.

It didn’t take long for him to reach the outside of the Municipal Hall and ask Xagan beside him.

“That Vampire Prince can’t be controlled by my Staff’s Force Control and can fight three S-Rank at the same time. Probably, I can only help unless I use the Demon’s powers. Sir Xagan, how much to kill the Vampire Prince?”

Cyril didn’t bring the other Demon Servants with him as he wanted them to protect Bonnie at all costs.

Anyway, he has plenty of life now and he could use Xagan to make a request. Well, even if he loses 200 or 300 years in his life, he didn’t really mind at this point considering he has 500 years remaining in his life span.

“The Vampire Prince in that building? It would cost you 300 days, Contractor.” Xagan replied after giving a look at the Vampire Prince’s direction.

Xagan is currently using his human projection as he accompanied Cyril.

“Only 300 days? Not even a year? Isn’t that cheap then?”

Cyril thought that he would have to spend a few years to kill such a powerful Vampire. If he’s not mistaken, the Vampire Prince should be equal to the strength of a Wraith King or someone above a Doom Knight like the Lich King or even a Basilisk.

“Gahaha… You will surely not say something like that if your life remained a bit over two thousand days, Contractor.”

Xagan just laughed Cyril’s comparison.

Cyril smiled bitterly after hearing this as he considered whether to kill it and free the S-Ranks from their entanglement.

Boom!

Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred within the Municipal Hall and the prominent Aura of the S-Ranks immediately burst out.

It seems that the fight is already reaching its end.

Cyril observed for a moment and noticed Asta holding the Axe that Kendel previously owned.

He then recalled how Asta wanted to kill the Vampire Prince with her own hands after Kendel died…

‘Hmmm… It seems that they can handle this now….’

Cyril thought as he noticed that the Vampire Prince is actually asking for help for a long time now but there are no Vampire Knights coming to save him!

This is all because he dealt with them already making it a lot easier for Asta’s team.

Cyril couldn’t help but grin at this as he decided to leave the place.

‘Let’s deal with the remaining Vampires then…’

Cyril decided as he left the place to check the other area.

He then activated his Conqueror’s Domain again and did the same thing. This time, he had consumed all potions he brought and if there are still Vampires who survived the mess, he can only use the Holy Artifact given to him by Vanessa.

[ Holy Amulet ]

[ Rank-B Artifact ]

[ Durability: 100/100 ]

[ Skills: Holy Aura ( Passive ), Holy Eruption ( Active ), Bless ( Active ) ]

The Amulet is quite good against the Vampires, especially the Aura skill. As for the Eruption, it is quite weak since the effect is only 2 meters around the wearer… Unless you’re a close combat fighter, it would be difficult to utilize the item. Unlike the Aura that could cover a huge area depending on the Rank of the Awakened using it.

As for the Bless ability, it allows the user to bless or enchant an item to possess Holy Attribute. The finished products were, of course, called Blessed Items.

Finally, Cyril was also provided with another weapon.

[ Paladin’s Hammer ]

[ Rank- A Artifact ]

[ Durability: 100/100 ]

[ Skills: Smite ( Active ), Holy Bolt ( Active ), Holy Shield ( Active ) ]

Cyril looked at the lavish design of the Paladin’s Hammer. He has no idea where this item was taken but if he would make a guess, that Arcane World probably has humans living on it and most likely Angels are protecting them.

Well, considering that Demons exist, Cyril wouldn’t be surprised if Angels does exist although he hadn’t heard any news about them from his previous life.

Anyway, he can’t really use his knowledge from his previous life since he was only an F-Rank there devoid of vital information. Aside from that, since the Outbreak came a lot earlier than he expected, there will certainly be a lot of changes that will happen.

The red raincoat man who will assassinate the S-Rank Awakened on December 26, a few days from now, might not even happen at this rate.

“Hmm? What is that place”

Cyril’s thought was interrupted as he suddenly felt several Vampires gathering in one place. After dealing with another batch of Vampires, Cyril continued walking in a slow pace and arrived in this place after 10 minutes.

Conqueror’s Domain!

Cyril immediately activated the ability as he looked at the Star Theater not too far from him. He felt a sinister aura coming from this place and he suspected that a strong Vampire had decided to use this place as his base.

As soon as the Domain returned information to his mind, he realized that he was actually wrong… He found out that about three hundred Vampire Knights are trying to break the Protection Array that is stopping them from entering the Shelter underground!

This place is actually one of the high-level Shelters that were recently made!

“Impressive Array… To be able to last this long against the Assault of this many Vampires, it’s probably made of Rank-S Artifact and various high-level materials”

Cyril muttered as he used his Force Control again to order the Vampires to kill each other…

“Oooff—”

Thud!

Cyril kneeled to the ground outside the Theater.

“Ugh.., I spent all my Aura.” Cyril held his head as the sudden emptiness of his Aura affected his brain.

He shouldn’t have forced himself like that since he just emptied his Aura a few minutes ago.

Because of this, the Conqueror’s Domain was canceled and the Vampire Knights noticed his presence immediately!

“Tsk…”

Cyril had no choice but to use a handful of Star Garnet Ores that he has.

They can only replenish a small amount of Aura but it’s better than having nothing at all. As soon as he emptied the Aura that the ores contain, the first group of Vampire Knights arrived in front of them.

They all have armored bodies and long claws as their weapons.

Holy Shield!

Cyril poured a bit of his S-Rank Aura to the Hammer to activate this skill.

With the inclusion of the Holy Aura from the Amulet, the Vampires would have to feel the pain of getting burned once they approached him…

“Kill!”

“The Blood Mass Sacrifice will be activated soon! Don’t hesitate!”

“Die!”

The Vampire Knights shouted as they charge at Cyril without caring about the injuries they’ll get…

Smite! Holy Bolt!

Boom! Boom!

The Smite killed ten Vampire Knights immediately while the Holy Bolt stunned a couple of dozen of them…

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Cyril started smashing the head of the stunned Vampires for the finishing blow.

However, before he could kill them all, another batch of Vampires is already coming!

“Crap! Xagan, can you help kill all the Vampire Knights in the vicinity!”

“Of course… I detected over three thousand Vampire Knights in the city, do you want to spend 3 years to kill all of them?”

“That many?!” Cyril was shocked as it seems that he underestimated the number of enemies and how large this city was.
