Chapter 476: The one who fought the monsters, and became a monster.
"Let's go back to the expedition, we've had enough rest." Rose spoke with a big smile on her face.
She seemed to be glowing, and she was much more excited than usual.
"Yes!" The girls except for Victor, Eleanor and Anrietha spoke.
Eleanor and Anrietha looked at a glowing Rose and an excited Victor with narrowed eyes.
She had her suspicions that Victor had done something of a perverted nature to Rose, they had never seen the woman so 'radiant' before.
But after some thought, the two of them dismissed that thought, what happens is...
Victor can be everything, handsome, monster, a talented man.
But without a shadow of a doubt he is not an unfaithful man.
From what the two girls understand about him, it's usually not Victor who makes the first step in a relationship, it's the girls.
In other words... They were suspicious of Rose.
But just like Victor, the two women couldn't think of a scenario that Rose does something perverted with Victor.
She was too serious for that.
"Rose, when we get back, I'm going to ask you to help me again."
"Fufufu, sure~" Her smile grew, and then she added:
"I'll be happy to help~"
"...." Victor couldn't help but flash a small smile.
...
..
.
Okay, now even the other girls noticed the strange atmosphere.
What happened, and why do they seem so close!?
Don't tell me... They did!?
The Valkyries looked at each other with that look only they know and nodded.
They became chibis and looked up, and soon a balloon appeared, and an 'image' of Victor and Rose naked appeared.
"I won't let you sleep tonight, Rose."
"Destroy me, Vic!"
"!!!" The girls blushed a little when they thought of this scenario, somehow it was very exciting!
'As expected, Victor is after the older ones... Does he have a fetish for antiques?' Eleanor thought.
'As expected... He satisfies even Rose, but we're talking about a man who married an older vampire, and made that incident... He's capable.' Anrietha thought with a dangerous glare.
Rose seeing this, narrowed her eyes dangerously, how could she not understand what they were implying? She practically created them all here.
"...Girls, stop that indecent thought, are you so frustrated?"
"...." The girls blushed a little when they heard what Rose said.
Quite brazenly, Julieta asked:
"And so what happened, why are you so radiant?"
"I was just training him, and I was surprised how fast he learns."
'Quick, is an understatement, he looks like a sponge that absorbs everything I teach... Now, I can understand what it's like to have a very talented disciple.'
"...Oh..." Eleanor's answer somehow disappointed them all.
"Heh~. I wondered what kind of image you were thinking of." Victor smiled as he looked at Juliet.
"N-Nothing." Julieta turned her face away, her heart couldn't take that sneak attack, he's a damn murderer! Playboy! Scoundrel!
'Funny girl, she is quite brazen, but weak against provocation.' Victor looked sideways at Eleanor.
Eleanor noticed Victor's gaze and looked at him, the moment she saw his subjective face, she huffed and turned her face away, she wasn't going to fall into his honey trap! Even if that trap was very attractive.
She is a warrior! She has an extremely strong will!
Victor couldn't help but display a helpless smile as he scratched his neck, he once again as his charm was dangerous, after all...
...Victor literally did nothing...
Nothing!
Women have fallen into their own world of debauchery with their own imagination.
'But that aside, training with Rose was quite enlightening, this woman…' Victor looked at Rose out of the corner of his eye.
'She's very powerful, her swordplay is on a completely different level than he's seen before.' Victor thinks that not even Scathach has reached this level of swordsmanship before, though he can't say correctly, after all, he's never seen Scathach fight seriously.
'With just one Spar... I was able to clear my doubts about various aspects of melee arts, she sure is a great opponent.' Victor couldn't wait to fight her again.
"Anyway, stop thinking nonsense, and let's get on with it." Rose ordered.
"Yes!"
"Eleonor, you go ahead this time... I assume you want to vent a little."
"...." All Rose got in response was a big bloodthirsty smile from Eleanor.
And when Victor saw that smile, he could barely contain his own smile from growing.
'Was here! That's why I came here! Now show me! Show me that you are like me!' Without realizing it had attracted Victor's full attention.
Eleanor takes the Greatsword from her back, and looks in one direction.
"Don't hold back." Rose ordered.
"Of course not."
Eleanor kicks the ground and starts to run.
Soon the group starts running after her.
...
As the group ran after a very excited Eleanor, Victor said:
"An Ogre settlement 40 km away."
Eleanor's smile grew even wider, and a bloodthirsty aura exploded from her body .
Doing his best to hide his feelings, Victor continued:
"Conflicting in... 3... 2... 1!"
The group stopped running, and soon they were looking at an Ogre settlement, unlike before, there were Ogres variant
Monsters of the same type but with a different specialty, some red-skinned Ogres appeared to be much larger than normal beige-skinned Ogres.
ROAAAAAAAAAR!
Sensing Eleanor's sense of danger, the monsters were alerted, and they began to come towards the group.
"Numbers?" Rose asked.
Before Victor could answer Rose, Eleanor spoke:
"Does not matter." Eleanor twitched her leg, and with an impulse she advanced alone into the settlement.
"...She's very excited, I think she was very stressed..." Judy commented.
"Hasn't she killed a lot of monsters before?" Alexa asked.
"It still wasn't enough for her." Martha replied.
"Make sense." Alexa nodded.
Rose shakes her head as if she has no choice, and says:
"Judy and Julieta don't forget to learn and categorize the terrain."
"Yes!" The two responded at the same time.
"Oh? Do you have any minor goals on this expedition?"
"Yes. As this is an opportunity to learn more about the monsters, the surrounding terrain, and possible variants, and new monsters, this information is very important for the future."
"I see..." Victor stopped talking when he saw Rose clash with the Ogre.
With an upward swing, the ogre's entire body disappeared.
A fist came towards her, Eleanor looked at the fist coming towards her eyes, and with refined movements, she dodged with only inches of the fist hitting her face.
Using her incredible strength, she kicked the Ogre's knee, and the sounds of something breaking were heard.
The ogre staggered a little, and Eleanor did not miss this chance.
With a gesture of the hand, a stake is created from the earth is created and pierces the ogre.
"ROAAAAAAAR!"
A red variant ogre came towards Eleanor while her entire body was covered in fire.
"This is new..." Rose commented.
"Have you never seen them before?" Victor asked while not taking his eye off the fight.
"We've seen the toxic type before, but the fire type never."
"Do you think they were created for the weakness of vampires?"
"... It's possible." Despite that being said, Rose was pretty sure they were created to target the vampire's weaknesses.
The fight with the Alpha and the dialogue with that monster doesn't get out of her head, she knows that the Alphas are something like the natives of this world, she was one of the few vampires who knew about the Elder Gods and what kind of existence they are.
And she also knows that the Elder Gods have fought their king in the past, and after thousands of years of fighting monsters, the theory that monsters were artificially created began to circulate in Rose and Walter's minds.
But that theory was never proven, and they never had a chance to prove it either.
Even if they captured an Alpha for information, the monster would just mysteriously die, it was as if someone had purposely killed them to prevent information from leaking out, a very common tactic in war.
Because of this reason that the Valkyries don't try to capture the Alphas, it was a futile effort after all.
"I'm will kill the Monsters…" Eleanor changed from blood red to monster eyes.
"Even if I turn into a monster in the process..."
"Whistle." Victor hissed in amusement when he saw Eleanor's arm changing into extremely sharp black claws.
Eleanor swings her sword, and cuts off the ogre's head that was trapped in the stone stake, when the Ogre's head fell to the ground, Eleanor withdrew the stone stake and used her vague hand as if controlling something in the air.
And soon the group saw the ogre's body float.
"Oh? Telekinesis?"
"Something similar."
"That's not the power of the Vampires of Clan Adrastea, right?"
"Well, you are right and wrong at the same time, after all, the monster bloodlines themselves are also part of the Adrastea Clan… But yes, you are right, that is one of the powers of your monster bloodline."
"Interesting."
Eleanor ignores the approaching Fire Ogre and throws the corpse into the Ogre .
The red ogre just roared and a flame came out of its mouth and hit the monster's body turning the monster's corpse to ash.
By the time the corpse disappeared, Eleanor was nowhere to be found.
"...?" The ogre looked at this confused situation, and soon he heard a loud noise.
He looks towards the noise, and sees a bloodbath taking place.
Eleanor had ignored the monster, and jumped right into the ogre horde, she was taking advantage of Chaos.
"ROAAAAAR!" The variant ogre roared in rage, and ran back toward Eleanor.
Eleanor was there, surrounded by monsters, her body was covered in toxic blood, but her smile never left her face.
Positioning her Greatsword, she spun around, effectively cutting several monsters in half.
She jumped on another Ogre's head and with the momentum, she flew towards another monster slicing it in half.
She swung that massive extremely sharp sword fluidly, and as if the sword didn't weigh, because it was a very large sword, she often used the sword as a shield as well.
Spinning around, cutting in half, using monster parts to blind other monsters.
Eleanor was brutal.
Extremely brutal.
She was struggling to inflict as much pain on the monsters as possible, she felt sadistic pleasure in doing so.
Slowly, the Horde of over 1000 ogres was dwindling, and bodies were being piled all around.
The longer the fight went on, Eleanor became more brutal, on one occasion, she again ignored the variant ogre, and threw the greatsword at a normal ogre.
She disappeared from the scene demonstrating footwork , and appeared in front of the Ogre who had his stomach pierced by the giant sword.
Using her sword hilt as a support, she got to her feet, while looking at the Ogre's face:
"Become my food."
The Ogre's face visibly darkened in fear.
's face Eleanor began to change, scales began to appear, and her face became more monstrous, her normal mouth completely disappeared, and only a mouthful of sharp teeth was seen, she opened her mouth wide and swallowed the entire head of the animal. Ogre.
Meat crunching sounds were heard.
gulp.
She swallows the meat, and soon her entire body started to change and become more monstrous, it wasn't just her arms and faces anymore, it was everything.
A large tail appeared behind her, her tail was covered in sharp spikes, her armor began to grow dark green scales, four horns grew on her head, two large and two small.
Two wings grew behind Rose, they weren't bat wings like the vampire count transformation, it looked like a reptile wing, the only description Victor could think of was dragon wings.
Its entire body had dark green scales covering it like extra armor.
Eleanor spread her wings fully, and looked at the monsters.
And his sadistic smile completely distorted when he saw the monsters step back in fear.
They instinctively knew, they were no longer the predator, they were the prey.
A dark green aura with shades of black began to leave its body, and towards the Greatsword, soon the greatsword underwent a visible change and became more monstrous, spikes grew all over the Greatsword, and a dark green fire covered the blade. of the weapon.
Seeing this sight, all the Valkyries acted as if it was normal, this was a side that they all didn't want to show people, the monster bloodline they had... It was, after all, a monster bloodline.
And unlike the other members of Clan Adrastea, the Valkyries had pretty dangerous monster bloodlines, they were the highest level monsters Clan Adrastea has fought in the past, and what Eleanor had was the most dangerous of them all.
On this expedition they completely avoided 'transforming' like Eleanor was doing, they just used the partial transformation which consisted of just their arms and weapons.
After all, it wasn't a pretty sight to behold, and this 'transformation' was also a secret of Clan Adrastea.
'If Eleanor showed this side to Victor, it means that she trusts him enough for that.' Rose and the girls had the same thought.
That kind of trust wasn't easily given to outsiders, only one person knew about this vision Victor was seeing.
And that person was Scathach.
Not even the king himself knew this.
Rose and the girls looked curiously at Victor, they wanted to see his reaction.
Honestly, they were a little anxious, the man grew in their hearts as a teammate, they completely accepted the man as if he were their Clan, it would be quite painful if he rejected them.
... But not even in their wildest dreams, they would have imagined the sight in front of them.
Victor was standing there, his smile so gigantic it could no longer be hidden.
A gigantic smile that completely distorted her human features, it was a smile that could rival Eleanor's monstrous smile.
And it was at that moment that they remembered who Victor was.
Memories of Victor confronting Jeanne and Morgana flashed through their minds.
Victor was the monster here, not them.
They only wore a tired smile when they realized that Victor had long ago confided in them his most important secret.
'I was worried for nothing...' All the girls had thoughts similar to Dorothy's.
FUSHHHH!
Sensing danger coming her way, she raises the Greatsword in front of her.
Pure fire struck the greatsword, but Eleanor didn't move or be shaken.
"I haven't forgotten about you." His voice came out more monstrous and heavy, it was like a monster trying to speak a human language.
She looked at the five variants running towards her while ignoring the other monsters.
"Victor." Eleanor looked at Victor from a distance, her reptilian slitted eyes staring into Victor's violet eyes.
"Yes?"
"I'll show you..." She shakes her head a little and tosses her long white hair back.
"I'll show you why I deserved the title of Vampire Count at such a young age..." She tried to turn away, but couldn't because she saw the visible change in Victor's expression.
Victor's eyes widened a little, and slowly his smile became even more monstrous, his face distorted completely, and his sharp teeth were clearly seen.
Only something dark that contained large sharp teeth was standing there, Victor's face disappeared.
Two monsters looked at each other... Two monsters looked at each other and desired each other, Eleanor's heart was beating a thousand an hour when she saw his obvious desire.
To further enhance Eleanor's amusement, she heard:
"Show me… I want to see… I want to see the real you."
"I want to see the true nature of the woman named Eleanor Adrastea!"
"Show me!!"
As if Victor's words were a strange trigger.
Eleanor's smile grew unnaturally, and a dark green power with black hues exploded in Eleanor's body and soared towards the heavens, completely changing the atmosphere of the place.
BOOOOOOM!
....
