Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 27: NWO Army, part 4
But the punishment Cainabel gave was not enough.
The blood spear he turned into a stomach acid spear with [Particle World], and instantly the three men fell wriggling like worms doused in salt.
Cainabel looked at them without any concern, but there was no pleasure in her eyes. It was like someone looking at discarded trash, no interest at all.
“As a closing,” says Cainabel without pity, “lewap until the rest of you stuff a bunch of blood.”
Three transparent light spheres enveloped them. And, without them being able to do anything about it, the three trash of society vanished unceremoniously. Their bodies disintegrated into particles that could not possibly be seen with ordinary eyes. Then the particles spread out following the ever-moving air stream.
The two walls that covered the passage melted into sand, and Cainabel moved her legs continuing her steps towards the back of the church.
The defense of the capital was not strict at all. Too easy even. The soldiers were so relaxed. The people seem so free. So peaceful. In fact, there was not a single surveillance soldier from afar who was often assigned to observe the actions of someone suspicious. It was as if.Ekralina Kingdom did not expect any war at all.
Mortana's not stupid, she knows the risks of war. There was no way he would let something like this happen. Someone must have forced him, or perhaps, his mind had been manipulated as the prime minister of Vladivta Kingdom had once felt.
It was no wonder Cainabel found dozens of undercover Knights Templar soldiers inside the city. Even he had seen a Saint who disguised himself as a successful trader. They were heading towards the palace, probably about to request a meeting with Mortana. Whether it was confirming that Mortana was completely washed out of her mind, or simply using it to place troops inside the city secretly.
Whichever one it was, Cainabel would ignore them now. After his business was done with Mary Anna, then he would play a little trick on them. The saint is not very famous. Also, the mana capacity is not too large. He was no match for Cainabel.

Mary wasn't in Carolina because Elmira gave her a job. Not at all. He has made dozens of people in the palace and church as his puppets, there is nothing he needs to do anymore to fulfill Elmira's agenda.
Mary is here to fulfill her own agenda. Carolina would be the center of the battle, and as a Necromancer he would happily utilize it to create more undead as stock.
Having just finished hiding a series of magic circles under the sand, Mary's ears caught the sound of the rubbing of the sole of the footwear with sand.
The sound grew bigger every second. Mary spontaneously stood up and turned around, and just then a woman in a red paddle appeared beside the church wall.
“Mary Anna...happy to meet you,” said the woman with a calm expression. “My name is Cainabel. I came to offer you a place in the Vampire Kingdom. You're no longer human, am I wrong?”
Should he be surprised?
No. gabe. Mary was not surprised, and should not be surprised. After all his football had lashed out so far, it was only natural for the other party to know him. It was normal for them to recruit him.
The thing that made Mary a little surprised was just a simple question about her that was no longer human.
“...I'll think of your offer,” Mary's response is short and solid without answering her question. “Give me a week.”
“No problem. I'll see you again in a week. What is it here, or in Etharna?”
“Etharna.”
The vampire named Cainabel disappeared in an instant from Mary's sight. More precisely, he shrank to a size that could no longer be seen. Mary doesn't know she's still there or has pe—
Mary flinched, she felt pain in her neck, but only briefly. While hitting that part, Mary found nothing.
“I am about to die; your blood is completely poisonous,” said Cainabel who was already standing on Mary—'s right shoulder no bigger than a sparrow. “You really aren't human, Mary Anna. I hope you accept our offer, I'm sure it will be better for you.”
Cainabel did not give Mary a chance to return her words, the vampire this time took out her vampire wings and flew away at high speed.
The woman has troublesome magic. Without sensory magic, dealing with it would be difficult. The ability to shrink himself can make it easily avoid fatal attacks. It can even enter another person's body through the nose, ears, or mouth.
“But the offer is not bad,” murmured Mary slowly, before then shaking his head and stepping back into the church ‒ now there is a teleportation magic circle that connects the second largest church in Islan and the church in Etharna.
...— — — — — — — — — — —...
Cainabel flew high into the clouds, but then she quickly swooped down sharply as Mary's figure was no longer visible behind the church. Still in a state of shrinking size as a chick, Cainabel landed on the lowest roof of the front palace. As he had decided before, the vampire would play a little trick on them.
Killing them was easy, and it would further benefit the Knights Templar ‒ as they could make it as a casus belli to overtly occupy Ekralina Kingdom that was beginning to rebel against the lord. But that's not going to do. He was not asked to do such a drastic thing. It does not benefit the New World Order.
He would stay in this city until the week that Mary Anna asked him to end, and in that time he would catch them, making them paranoid with silent attacks when they were caught off guard or asleep. They would think that their disguises were discovered and more cautious, and that caution would reduce their time to rest.
“But still..their disguises are really bad. Even from afar I can recognize them as members of the Knights Templar.”
Was it intentional? Or are they a little weak in the head? Cainabel doesn't know which one. There is also no reason why he should know.
...— — — — — — — — — — —...
Mary immediately rushed to the palace after teleporting from Carolina. He went straight to Elmira and said that the Vampire Kingdom already knew all about her and their actions. Mary could not confirm if they knew that it was Mortana and a dozen others who controlled the Ekralina Kingdom as it is today. It wouldn't be surprising if they knew.
“Thank you for telling me this, Mary.” Elmira said with a warm smile on her lips. “You are my only friend. It would make me sad if you decided to leave me just like that.”
Mary could not tell if it was real or fake. Nor can he say if Elmira will be really sad or not. But Mary doesn't care about that. Being next to Mary is not bad. The girl loves her necromancy magic, and Mary doesn't mind helping Elmira comfort herself. They're a little compatible, if he can be honest.
“So, what answer will you give?” ask the queen, step down from the throne and approach Mary.
“Not yet I decided,” Mary's response was short.
“I certainly wouldn't force you to stay here if you wanted to leave. Mary is no longer human, Mary is long-lived, Mary is immortal. I will die and leave you in time. Of course, deciding to live with vampires who live long is the right choice. However, Mary..” Mary's eyes widened slightly to find Elmira hugging her tightly. “...If I may insist, stay with me, at least until my death comes.”

#The question about [Particle World] should have already been answered up to this. If not, it will be missed when Cainabel fights a fairly balanced opponent.
