Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 11

Vampire Girl and the Evil God (Part 2)

Translated by AmaLynne

AN: This is the second chapter today.

I couldn’t believe my ears.

The『Weaponization of the Hero』Project? The『heroes』who are supposed to be respected, but instead, they are broken down and treated like tools?

「No wonder you are confused. I gave up on the human race when I found out about it… She has already been『educated』for several months. Her mind is already a wreck, she used to be very active, but now she is like a doll that doesn’t speak a word… She is just too pitiful.」

So you’re saying that the only person you want to save is this hero?

「Understanding. I would add that although her heart is broken, the heart of a human being, or rather an intelligent life form, does not disappear so easily. If you could protect her and restore her heart, she would probably resent humans as much or more than you do. That is a situation that we, who wish to destroy humans, would not wish for. After all, she has more potential than even you, and if she becomes our comrade, I am sure she will play a very active role.」

I see. That’s rather the main reason, isn’t it?

…………Humans, I hate them.

I hate, hate, hate them, and want to lay waste to every last one of them.

…………But a human who hates humans as much as I do…

A girl who is human and wants to destroy humans…

Humans who are being killed by the monsters they created themselves…

……Not bad.

One thing. If that hero tries to protect human beings even if he has restored their hearts. What will you do then?

「Of course, we will consider them dangerous and kill them.」

……Then, well, maybe I can make an exception.

「Thank you very much. Thank you for saying so.」

Hero… They use even such a precious and important existence for the sake of the goddess Misery?

How low can you go, humans?

◆◇◆◇◆

So, can I ask one fundamental question?

「? Yes, please.」

…Why am I here?

「Ah! Come to think of it, I haven’t explained it.」

My memory is interrupted when I saw the bodies of my friends and killed the knight who found me there.

Maybe she erased my memory, as usual.

「Yes… Oh, and just so you don’t get the wrong idea, you’re not dead, are you? You were just barely mortally wounded, but vampires have improved healing abilities while under the moon’s blessing, so even as we speak, you are recovering.」

…? Did I take an attack that was just barely fatal?

「After that, the bodies of the three people you killed in the woods were discovered, and all the knights still in the village, about 20 in all, were dispatched to take you down. You were eventually found and engaged in battle. Blessing of the Moon…this time it was half a month, but you took full advantage of your status boosted by several times and killed 17 of the 20, despite receiving wounds. The remaining three escaped. However, you were hit by the last kesa-zashiri (slash from the throat) fired by the platoon leader, and you fainted due to anemia caused by excessive blood loss. I interfered with your consciousness and here we are.」

「By the way, just before that series of battles, you had cleared the requirements to acquire the special occupational class『Avenger』, were overjoyed to see its effects, and had set it in zero seconds of contemplation.」

Um~mm, I don’t remember any of this, I need a minute.

…Huh? Have I made an occupation choice?

I’m pretty sure I heard a voice saying『certain conditions have been met』…….

「Yes, you made a choice. Well, it was for the best, so please understand. 『Avenger』is basically the same as unemployed… but it gives you a high advantage over the person or species you set as your『Avenging Target』.」

…By the way, what is this advantage?

「It’s a doubling of stats when facing the target, increased experience when killing, increased magic power, etc.」

Yeah, I’ll pick that one.

「And now the knight-killing. With the increased experience you gain from killing humans by choosing avenger, you have risen to level 10.」

I’m glad to hear that. There’s nothing better than being strong.

◆◇◆◇◆

Okay, can I have another one?

「What is it?」

…Please tell me what you know about dad and mom and the people who killed my friends.

「Sure, I can tell you about them… Yes, of course. First of all, you’ve heard their names. The people who murdered your parents were a woman named Edith and a man named Noin. Both are the《Twelve Holy Apostles》.」

…What are the《Twelve Holy Apostles》?

「The Nation of Many Humans… The largest among them is the『Holy Land of Mercurius』. There, they are the elite of the human race who have been given the『Blessings of the Goddess』, albeit on a limited basis.」

I have heard from my dad that the goddess Misery is famous for not giving blessings to anyone but the hero.

「Yes, I have heard that. That’s why it is only『limited』. The effect is only slight resistance to abnormalities and a status boost. However, since they are highly skilled, they are a considerable threat on their own. In fact, every one of them is as capable as the 10 Leaders of the Demon King’s army!」

…The demon tribe, which originally had higher specs than humans, is now even more elite than the demon king’s army leaders.

Sounds like more trouble than I thought.

「…And one more thing. The vampires in your village. Most of them are… It was Edith who killed your friend.」

…………Huh?

Edith, right. Okay, I remember. I will find her and kill her after I hurt her so much that she will regret having been born.

「Oh, scary… So, about your future. I’m very uncomfortable giving you all sorts of instructions after promising you your freedom…」

Oh, it’s okay. I don’t want peace anymore.

I’ll do anything to kill humans.

「……I see. Well, let’s be frank… I want you to join the demon army.」

…So that’s how it came to be.

The demon king’s army. The Demon King’s Army is an allied force of demon tribes headed by the『Demon King』, a being empowered by Isuzu-sama to suppress the invading humans.

Many people believe in Isuzu-sama, but they are not as fanatical as humans.

「I have already told you that I intend to destroy the human race… I mean, I have already told the『Demon King』most of what I told you today. And about you at the same time.”」

The Demon Army…but as I recall, didn’t vampires once refuse to join the Demon King’s Army? Would they accept it?

「The capacity of the Demon King I chose is not so small as to reject you for such a thing… If we are honest, you are still weak. You can’t possibly destroy all human beings in your current state. Therefore, you need a place where you can strengthen yourself and like-minded friends…」

…You have a point.

If I think about it calmly, I can’t destroy human beings by myself.

At least, if it is a demon tribe ruled by Isuzu-sama, they should not be hostile. I heard that many of the races are peaceful, and I hope that this will be the case.

This is why I decided to join the demon army.

「I am very grateful that you are an intelligent person. I will tell the Demon King to send someone to pick you up at the vampire village in a few days, so…for a while, yes, why don’t you make a memorial service for your people?」

…I’ve always thought that Isuzu-sama is a very good god after all.

「I’m sorry.」

…Well, while I’m at it, may I make one more request?

「? What is it?」

…My race, the『Vampire Lord』. Could you please change this?
