Vampire Prince Trapped Into a Hunter

Chapter 45 – PROTECTION BEHIND THE MEANING OF SENIORITY. 9

There are three types of dungeons in this world.

First, the ordinary dungeon. It's like a dungeon in general that will soon disappear once the boss monster inside its dungeon is defeated.

But there are also special cases where sometimes even after the boss monster inside the dungeon is defeated, the dungeon has not disappeared. This is called a special dungeon.

Starting in Italy, it was finally discovered that this special dungeon could also be eliminated by defeating its true boss who hid in one of the secret rooms in the dungeon.

However, there was another type of dungeon.

It was a cursed dungeon.

This dungeon was just like an ordinary dungeon that when its monster boss was defeated it would immediately disappear.

Unfortunately once it disappeared, this dungeon would spread mana termed as mana to die that could evolve creatures from the outside world into monsters. It mainly came from undead or non-pure energy type dungeons.

Fortunately, it only applies to animals and is less likely to plants.

For some reason, the dead are unable to corrupt the living human body.

When inhaling excess mana, it will only be like you inhale gas elpiji that can make you intoxicated which can still lead to death, but at least you will not turn into a monster because of it.

You can immediately be evacuated for first aid as soon as possible when you are poisoned mana die.

However, the dead are able to react to corpses including human corpses that are able to turn them into undead.

There was once a study that published that humans who died because of being killed are more susceptible to being raised as undead by mana die than those who die naturally.

And here I am at the moment, one of the locations near the academy where the concentration of mana died was quite concentrated as it was one of the former locations of the cursed dungeon.

It is not strange that you will soon meet monsters in this place.

“Young Master Arno, it seems that in the cave that was the location where Otto was kidnapped by Senior Pian.”

What's more frustrating is that I can't get rid of Jeremy Rudd to come with me.

“Stupid basis!”

“You still call that bastard a senior after what he did to your friend?!”

“After all you don't need to treat him with respect anymore since his family has fallen by their own greed!”

In this case, it will be difficult for me to use Anto's power optimally.

However I have to keep Anto's whereabouts secret to Jeremy Rudd, or else my true identity is not the real Arno.

[Master, I've confirmed that it's true that your senior son of a bitch was in the cave with your classmate Otto. But other than him, there seemed to be about twenty more people. Two of them are level C, the rest are croco, Master.]

Even though I have been promoted to a magic swordsman, I am still level E.

If it was a D-leveled hunter, perhaps with some effort, I still had a chance to win by my own strength.

However, the story is different if the hunter is ranked two levels above me. The odds against me are almost non-existent. It would be ridiculous if I were to stick with him directly. They play keroyokan.

‘I understand.’

The only solution I could think of in my head was guerrilla fighting.

If only this stupid Jeremy didn't exist, I would have been able to use Anto as bait while I hit the back of the senior bastard's head and then take Otto back from his hands.

Unfortunately, that plan is no longer possible with Jeremy Rudd here.

“Young Master Arno, it seems they are there a lot.”

I can't believe that Jeremy Rudd is an expert on reconnaissance.

“I already know!”

“Let me divert their attention as Young Master Arno takes the back road to save Otto as long as their attention is distracted by me.”

I can't believe that that stupid bastard is reckless enough.

I looked at him carefully to confirm his determination.

“Ah, forgive me, Young Master Arno. I have said the no-no. How can I get a respectable person like you to attack through the back like a coward.”

Ah, it seems that he has misinterpreted the look in my eyes.

But come to think of it, if it was the real Arno, he would definitely never have agreed to Jeremy Rudd's plan and would have preferred to attack directly by relying purely on his strength.

But I'm not the real Arno, so I don't have to do that.

Besides, I'm not under public scrutiny right now and there's only Jeremy Rudd beside me who can easily be manipulated.

“No. Our situation is urgent at this time. It seems, it's the best plan, Jeremy. But can you do it?”

“I can, Sir.. Maybe.”

It is undeniable that Jeremy Rudd will hesitate because it is clear that there is a huge difference in strength between him and the hunters.

He was not only outnumbered, but also outnumbered in strength.

It was the same as throwing a rabbit in front of a pack of wolves.

Well, literally, Jeremy Rudd does look like a rabbit, especially his shag teeth and those big eyes. Her ears also sometimes sway when she is angry or embarrassed. It really looks like a rabbit character I watched in anime.

I patted him on the shoulder to strengthen his resolve and I said to him,

“Not to worry too much. I'll get it done quickly, then get you out with.” soon

“Thank you, Young Master Arno.”

“Then, I hand over the feed position to you.”

Thus, Jeremy Rudd went ahead as I took a detour.

It didn't take him long to lure out the hunters Sarpian Mucahantas' men after Jeremy Rudd threw some explosives in front of the cave.

I had to move quickly before Sarpian Mucahantas realized that it was not a monster attack, but us.

He could darken his eyes at any time and would not hesitate to kill the weak Otto helplessly in his hands.

But that Jeremy Rudd, I don't think he's that great either.

He was apparently not only an expert in reconnaissance and trap magic alone.

I had known about it before, but looking at it directly, it was not wrong for him to be dubbed the best illusory swordsman in our generation.

He trapped the hunters some of them one level higher than him into his illusory magic, limited his opponent's visibility, then executed them neatly focused on stalling.

He was completely aware of his ability that would be impossible to win against higher ranked hunters than himself, especially in large numbers.

That was why he was more focused on buying time while still disguising his attacks as monster attacks.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to deceive hunters whose rank is higher or equivalent to yours so that the estimation that this will not last more than a minute.

That's why I'm moving fast.

I used Anto's shadow skill so as fast as lightning I was behind Sarpian Mucahantas.

Then like I said before, just now, I immediately hit the back of his head hard and then pulled Otto who was still unconscious with me into the shadow before being realized by the two C-level hunters who were escorting Sarpian Mucahantas.

I managed to snatch Otto out of their hands before they even realized what had happened.

Unfortunately I could not show the skill so blatantly that once I got back out of the cave, I just relied on my running speed while carrying Otto on both of my arms.

I ran as fast as I could to drag Jeremy Rudd with me.

Less than a minute of the plan, the three of us managed to escape from the grasp of Sarpian Mucahantas.

Or at least that's what I think.

After all, I cannot possibly defeat the agility of a hunter who has reached C realm.

My back was caught by one of them.

But then, unexpectedly by those bastards, I managed to throw Otto and Jeremy Rudd away from that place through the breeze of my platinum aura so that at least they both managed to escape.
