Deuteronomy-Postremum: Reincarnated as a Vampire in an Extremely Chaotic World!

Chapter 36: End of the Mission and a Continuation of the Journey.



Using heightened blood sorceries and whatevers, I changed the properties of my blood so that it can function properly in my favor.

I took Zeira and drenched her in my own blood, which was hot enough to dry up the water without harming her in the process.

"Ew..! What is this!?? Blood?!!"

"Correct. I'll send you into the direction where I last sensed the Bloodlust of my allies at. There, you will find them and lead me to them in under 10 minutes. It's the most time I could give you, since that's the only way my blood can still be detectable from afar. Once the time is up, you will blow up and become deceased. Timer starts now."

"WHAT??!! WAIT, NO PLEASE!!!"

To prevent Zeira from escaping, I made my blood explosive after I won't be able to sense it anymore.

"I also made it sticky, sticky enough for you to move your wings freely."

"D-DO YOU NOT HAVE SYMPATHY?!!!"

She wiggled around in my hand trying to get away.

I quickly began to grab her with both hands, lift her above my head, and take a step back.

"I don't know how to throw really, so I hope you don't tunnel into the ground by accident."

"NOOOO!!!!"

I then pulled my arms back and put them to the side before setting down a leg in front to toss her from the ground and into the sky.

"YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHhhhhh!!!"

Her screams drifts off into the red cloudy skies as I put a hand over my eyes and another hand on my hips to try and see where she went off to.

I dust off my hands before proceeding to prepare my stuff so I can continue my journey.

I need to get to the Baphomet's military group and the Shark, Zeira will be a good recon drone for my trip there. Fairies have wings to act as planes don't they? Well. I guess that would go for other animals too, but I doubt they would hold up the air pressure.

Veno thought me how to change my blood's properties, it's some sort of blood manipulation, but it's too weak to consume any magic.

Eventually, I met her again before my blood exploded and absorbed hers. It appears that she had really good eyesight and flying skills. Impressed, I clapped my hands.

"Hah... hah.... Hah... Cruel monster..! Y-your allies are this way..!"

"Hmm... Come to think of it, I could turn you into a drone or something. We'll both benefit from it. I feed you, and you look around for particular targets. Deal?"

"Hell no!!!"

"Wha-..? Really...? Sigh... Anyways. Let's go."

She doesn't know it, but I wasn't trying to threaten, or destroy her. My blood automatically explodes due to some training I did which permanently locked the current [Symplirotheí] for if my own blood becomes unrecognized.

I grabbed her again and we started making our way to my allies according to Zeira's information.

My backpack was still wet so I left it behind, there wasn't much left in there anyways. As for my clothes, I guess this swimwear is actually waterproof. My cloak was ruined though, but it would be dangerous to be out in the sun.

"Aaaaah.... C-can you not squeeze me to death...?"

I guess my grip on her was too tight. Even a mere finger could destroy a fairy's weak and fragile body like a grain of sand.

We met up with the Shark and the Baphomet's military group. They were all in some sort of military base, one that you'd see back on earth. Looks like Sisisaya wasn't after it, considering how it's unaffected when I'm this late. It took me a week to get here, when Zeira only had 6 minutes.

"Yeah. I'm keeping you. I won't crush you or anything though, and I'm good at cooking as well."

The Shark appeared wearing a military uniform, waving at me as she walks out of a tent behind chain-link fences.

"Nice to finally see ya after so long! Come in! The Private Sentinel Group and the Americans have set up this whole thing, quite impressive isn't it?"

"Hmmm... How'd they even get here anyways? This is like a basic military base, I don't see anything significant about it."

"They went through the Southern Hemispheric gates, which I thought were record panels..! Appears that they have other purposes as well!"

That wasn't so surprising. They're literally called gates. How did she not think of people coming in if they were able to see through it?

Multiple landmines and weapons were placed around the base. It was named "Beta 10", since it was the tenth base set up by the second group of Americans that arrived here.

The Private Sentinel Group is basically just the weaker members under the control of an agent of the Baphomet. The soldiers here who are not from the Private Sentinel Group are Americans and Europeans, from many different nations on earth.

After a long mission, I could finally rest without getting struck by lightning, attacked by undead dragons, or buried under loose dirt.

"Ah. Aren't you the assistant of the representative of Baphomet here? I'm Captain Leon Crow. Nice to meet you!"

Appeared before me was a man, Captain "Leon Crow". He was the captain of the 1st unit here, which is still resting after the succession of this mission.

He later assisted me, providing me the necessary meals and items, probably as my reward for helping them out.

The mission came to an end as the Shark and Leon announced it. The one in charge, General David Pick, ordered most of the soldiers to continue with a second mission, leaving me and the Shark out.

Multiple units and teams were missing, and eliminated in the mission, possibly by the demons or by Sisisaya, but we're all still not sure what he was actually doing here. My best guess was that he was trying to destroy this base, but got lost or picked off by a Dragon or something.

I went out of the Dragon fields and arrived at an island after 10 days straight with Zeira.

The Shark stayed with me for a while before leaving with the rest of the soldiers, as the representative of the Baphomet, or as "Captain Tahgweiy". I guess I'll call her Tahgweiy as well, since "Shark's" a bit strange for a name. It reminds me of Rabbit...

What has happened to Rabbit and everyone? Where is everyone?

"Zeira fears you... Mind you tell us our whereabouts..?"

"Who knows. The sky's red and everything is foggy... Can't see a thing for miles here."

We were walking in a dark forest, almost devoid of light. Red fog was always surrounding us, preventing my body from burning away into ashes.

Zeira acted as my automatic hostile detector.

Even after many days of roaming around, we still found no hints leading to my friends. Until...

"This is Corporal John May, do you copy?"

"Yeah yeah. What do you want?"

"Tell me your situation. Captain's a close fellow, you might know him, same reason to why you'll know me."

Corporal John May spoke to me details about the other locations of different portals leading into the demon realm.

Knowing them, they've probably thought ARock or whoever I was supposed to be have died, along with the rest of the demons sent into the Dragon fields. I don't think they'll suspect of anything once I get back, right?

"Let's see here... Surveillance tells me that you headed straight west, and crossed the ocean to arrive in a remote island known as the Mount of No Return..."

"That doesn't sound reassuring..."

"Vuvuvuvuu..! Z-Zeira requests help again, dear military people..!"

Right. She tried asking the soldiers for help back there, but they all giggled and instead asked me if they could take her as a pet.

Maybe I'm in the right here. Who knows what would happen to creatures like her if the military gets their hands on them. Will they have fairy machinegunners, or something similar?

"One of our bases were settled in that place as well so fear not. Worst you'd encounter are bloodhounds, they tore our men apart in seconds. You'll find them in a base there, along with demon equipment and things. Better make use of them so that my snitching won't be in vain."

"You're American? I know that place, yeah. Was in Arizona before all this. As thanks, I'll show you my grand canyon, so you won't miss your home too much."

"Yeah. Also... Two jokes at once? Heh. You're quite the comedian, but alright, once we get back, I'll take it."

"What might you be thinking? I can't quite understand what you're saying. I'm actually going to make a grand canyon here, preferably in a place not as small as this. But anyways, I've made a new spell, you'll be the first one to know of this."

"A-a grand canyon..?! Damn... I don't even live near that place... I know it's in my country, but never visited it. Guess I'll see it for the first time then. Might ruin my view of the real one once I get back home, but I guess I'll be the one to see two grand canyons then. Three, I hope."

Hope they all live to see that day.

I finally figured it out after 4 years, the [Space-Breaking Time-erosion Multigenerational Blast], another ultimate spell I was trying to learn in my other consciousness.

Before I died, I was in Arizona. I never saw the grand canyon either, only in online I viewed it, so I'm not sure if this will be an accurate remake.

"Zeira feels that you were avoiding it on purpose..."

"Avoiding what?"

I wonder what she meant by that. Not minding her, I was in relief thinking that maybe this will actually work. But one thing is still missing, and I can only get it again once I meet Cricket Cricket, that is, if he's still alive.

Channeling something into one's soul is different from casting a spell directly. [Benevolent Blood Eagle] was always used with channeling, which means that it's full power hasn't even been used yet. It's full power is extremely dangerous, more dangerous than [Antares] actually, but it can only be used once.

To prepare for my next battle, a fight against Cricket Cricket, one of the Pillars of Creation, I will have to first find him. The rest are easy, but the final steps require me to actually meet him in person... Having some of my memories lost really is annoying. To put it simply, I must acquire and successfully use [Space-Breaking Time-erosion Multigenerational Blast] and [Benevolent Blood Eagle] in order to defeat the Celestine Central Electrical Box, "Cricket Cricket", or otherwise known as "The 4th Pillars of Creation"

"It must be really tiring walking day and night into some rotten, destroyed and abandoned base that might not even be there anymore huh?"

I kept Zeira around, not forcibly anymore since she decided to give up escaping for some unknown reason.

The jungles of this island were dense. The remains of animals weren't that rare about this place. I'm not sure what creature lurks in here, but I don't think I'd want to find out.

We stopped before the ruins of a military base covered in plants like it had been sitting there for a thousand years.

"I-I had a bit of connection to them... I guess you managed to figure me out just by the fact that us earthlings have close ties with the Demons while Baphomet's guys hate them."

"Yeah. I can kind of see why you guys chose Tahgweiy as your leader. She doesn't necessarily hate Demons, so I guess she could make some whatever story she has to convince the Demons or something something."

Captain Leon for the Otherworlders and Captain Tahgweiy for the Baphomet's army huh? It's quite well-organized.

There weren't any bloodhounds around, but corpses could be found. Judging by these bodies, it seems that the bloodhounds aren't here anymore, probably after they were first attacked?

"No doggies around here. Care to explain, Corporal?"

"H-huh..? Camera footage and survivors all told us how our men were mercilessly killed in there... No way their bodies are still intact. Perhaps some other team arrived after the bloodhounds got away. I'll look more into it, but suppose your safe for now."

Time to find the portal then.

Actually, if I wanted to defeat the Blood God, I'd have to defeat Cricket Cricket first, then Frillet Tofan. I already prepared for everything, but not for the Blood God... Not yet...

The Sacrificial lambs, those guys me and the Hearts were supposed to protect and lead to, what I eventually figured out, Rintan's kingdom, were all left inside deeper layers in the Demon Realm.

The mention of the Embodiment of Fate made me come along with Heart, it was a well-known story that a man, who was fate himself, became evil and was then later defeated by a group of warriors sacrificing themselves. But that only led to an apocalypse, along with fate and everyone being deceased.

I wanted to confirm their existence, but at that time, my mind was a bit strange... I couldn't quite focus on what I was trying to do.

Was it because of the odd magical field surrounding Fiya?

Too late to be thinking about that now. The Baphomet came in to ruin everything, or actually help me..?

Things that matters right now are whether or not the Sacrificial lambs are still alive, and whoever is in charge of sacrificing them now. The Demons have no idea that I actually survived that day, and now I must somehow convince them that I'm not actually against the Demons...

We investigated the remnants of what used to be a military base, searching around whilst taking along useful, and significant items for the journey.

My supplies have been replenished back at Beta 10, but I still have a bit of space left. It wouldn't be too bad to take more.

"Still... These guys look like they've been torn apart by god knows what..."

It was quite a grotesque sight. Multiple bodies laid around with their insides hung outside, some had their limbs ripped off. Anyways, it looks like the work of humans. Better than having to face bloodhounds at least.

"I can sense Bloodlust. Not sure if they're just random animals though. Can you check it out, Zeira?"

"Zeira has no power over this... You're forcing me to go out and risk my life, aren't you..?"

"Nah... Actually... You can take some gunpowder or blood with you. You can be an explosive drone or something. That way, I'll be safe and sound if there's actually monsters about."

"Barbaric. But you're joking, aren't you? Hehehe! No way a human can be that cruel. I see through you! Isn't there a word for that..? Hmmm... I forgot, but it's there."

"Actually, I'm not a human, I'm a Full-fledged Vampire or a half-demon."

Unexpectedly, we had a conversation for a few hours straight inside a building in the middle of the jungle, under a large hole in the roof.

I figured out with [Spatial Investigation] that the Bloodlust around us were from normal animals, completely unaffected by the Bloodlust Forest.

I wonder why is that. Is it because of this jungle?

We used a bit of Magic to activate the electricity on this place again. Most of the things here didn't work, as expected. But after setting up the area so that we'd be safe if something weaker attacked, we slept for the night, since we've been travelling on boat for the past weeks, and then roamed around in the jungle right after.

Morning came but the darkness remained. I could barely see anything in this state, just woken up from a good sleep. One thing for sure though, the portal here wasn't working despite everything we've tried. I guess we'll have to find another portal somewhere else then. I still do have some business back there.

"Snore... Snore... Snore..."

Zeira dozed off on top of my backpack. Most of my edibles have been eaten, even though they were supposed to last at least a few months. It's no doubt the thief is her. I don't even eat, I just drink blood.

She's right though, I won't just take her life away for if she failed to do what I told her to do. Most of the times where she almost died were unintentional, I thought she was an enemy at first so I didn't think too much about destroying her with blood.

"Wait... What is this..?"

I said to myself, having experienced something else than just coldness.

What am I experiencing though? What am I feeling? Character development? It's not that I was heartless and emotionless before, but something new has been entered into my consciousness.

Something has been changed in my flesh, and It's heavily connected to my soul somehow.
