CHAPTER 326: The Illusion of Evil

"Noir."


Noelle, in her room, alone, called Noir's name many times. However, it was futile. No response came from that 'person.


It was almost midnight, and Noelle had been trying to call Noir ever since she told Dolum and Rudra that she would overcome this problem.


It's very rare. Indeed, these days Noir is more often silent and does not appear to disturb Noelle's mind. But, she would usually appear when Noelle called out to her.


Noelle fixed her sitting position on the edge of the bed, then muttered the name again.


"Noir."


Still no reaction. Noelle will try something else.


"My answer, Noir."


Noelle created a large dagger, then thrust it into her own neck without hesitation.


Instantly the blood spurted, soaking and staining the surroundings with a terrifying red patch.


However, it is not painful at all. Noelle did not blink once as the blade of the dagger was still stuck in her neck.


Merely, this slowed down his body's regeneration a little, so it might be rather dangerous if he did not pull out the dagger immediately. But, after all, Noelle had no intention of doing that herself from the start.


His body fell onto the mattress, and his gaze slowly faded. However, he could faintly hear a voice echoing in his head.


『Can't you be a little patient?』


The dagger lost its shape, and instantly turned into blood that flooded the sheets.


The stab wound on his neck quickly recovered.


"I have no other choice. You won't show up even if I call you many times."


Noelle rose to a sitting position, fingering her own neck to confirm if there were any scars left.


『Vampires really are an amazing race, huh? Wounds like that should have killed any living thing, but you still survive.』


Indeed, the actions Noelle had taken before could only be considered as 'suicide'. But, that was if the one who did it was a human or other ordinary living creature.


As for Noelle, she was able to survive because from the beginning she had an immortal body. Wounds like that are no big deal.


"Not really, ordinary vampires can also die if they have such injuries. I managed to survive because I was the 'Vampire King', and not an ordinary vampire."


In another sense, despite having an immortal body, there were still many ways that could be used to kill low-level vampires; such as for example destroying their brains or hearts in order for the regeneration skill to stop working.


『I understand. So the 'Vampire King' is a special individual, huh? But, what about the girl you call Olivia? He's not a 'Vampire King', but his immortality looks just like you.』


Strangely, Noir just sounds like he is interested now.


"Livia wasn't the 'Vampire King', but she drank her blood. Besides, she used to be my contract partner, so you could say her body was somehow strengthened to surpass that of an ordinary vampire."


Noelle then sighed. "Again, why are you asking? You should've known all that when you checked my memory."


As the 'god' who made a contract with her, Noir has full rights to access Noelle's memories as he pleases. And along with her memories, Noir should have also gotten all the conclusions and thoughts Noelle had made, so she should have known all of that already.


Noir did not say anything, and only chuckled lightly.


"Well, forget about that. What have you been doing all this time? "


What did Noir do so that he never appeared again to disturb his mind? Noelle was a little curious about that.


『Hehe, are you curious?』


"Absolutely not. Can I just say my purpose now? "


Noelle clicked her tongue and crossed her arms. The reaction brought back the sound of dry laughter to Noelle's head.


『You can't relax at all. All right, I'll answer. Lately there have been many people visiting my house, so as a good host, I should welcome them. That's why I can't show up often to bother you now.』


That answer left Noelle stunned. He slightly widened his eyes, and imagined how the fate of everyone who visited Noir's place was.


From his explanation, Noelle concluded that there were many people who had either intentionally or not, entered the place where Noir was sealed.


After all, the place was a somewhat isolated labyrinth, where outsiders could enter, but would never be able to find a way out.


For a moment, Noelle imagined a group of people driving a ship to the vicinity of the Senor Sea, where Noir was sealed.


"Are they going to kill themselves? I'm sure there's a better way than that ...."


Such was Noelle's spontaneous response, an answer he issued without a second thought.


『It's rough. I always welcome my guests very well.』


"What's that the same way you 'welcome' us? " ask Noelle with a look of disgust.


Noelle unintentionally asked him in a sarcastic tone, not knowing what his purpose was. But, from the start he didn't expect too many answers to come, so he wouldn't be disappointed at any result.


『It's true.』


That was Noir's answer.


Somehow, Noelle was not surprised at all. The answer was exactly what Noelle had imagined. There was no way a strange entity like Noir would treat his guests well. At the very least, he would make them all die of insanity.


Moreover, after entering the place, there was no way they could use to get out, unless they had a god who could create a portal or spirit gate for them. Without it, it is impossible to get out.


『Hehe, it looks like a conspiracy has gone unnoticed. Do you know who the guests are I mean?』


"Who? "


Noelle doesn't know the answer. He just has a hunch.


After a moment of silence, which increased the tension and curiosity within Noelle, Noir replied.


『They are a group you really hate.』


It was not a direct answer, but it was enough to make Noelle know the real answer.


"Swallow Life Order …?! "


Noelle narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth slightly. The damn organization had given her an experience that she did not wear, and as much as possible, Noelle did not want to deal with them anymore. But it seems impossible.


After all, what were the people from that heretic sect doing in Noir's place? Did they come there because of accident? Noelle doubts that.


"What is the God they worship .. You? "


Noelle wouldn't be too surprised if the answer was 'yes'.


『 ....... Heh …. Hehehehe–! That's a unique thought, Noelle. But unfortunately, the answer is 'impossible'. I'm not interested in having a horde of cockroaches as my follower.』


The name cockroaches may be appropriate, because they are difficult to kill. Most of them are semi-immortal beings who can still live after being killed once. This made them have to be killed twice in order for them to actually die.


"Well, I guessed it."


Noelle was not disappointed at all, because on the one hand she was convinced that Noir was not interested in having a sect of followers at all.


『Hehe– rather than those bugs, I'm more interested in having a follower with an already messed up head, like you, Noelle.』


"You're out of luck. It's a pity, I've never trusted a god once in my life."


『Even Anastasia and Zelica?』


Noelle shrugged her shoulders. "Yahh, putting aside Goddess Zelica, the Goddess named Anastasia always gives me goosebumps when talking to her."


『Basic inconsistent.』


Noelle pretended not to hear that. His mind focused on figuring out what exactly the Swallow Life Order was aiming for when they came to Noir's place.


Whether their goal was good or bad, Noelle did not care much. But, this might be dangerous for himself.


『There's no point thinking about it all now. I think it's better you mention directly your purpose in calling me earlier.』


"Ohh, you're right."


Noelle almost forgot about that.


"But, yahh .. You know what I want, right? "


Again, Noir laughed.


『Hehe, unfortunately, there is no way to develop control over the power of authority instantly.』


What Noelle wanted was a way to increase her control over the authority of domination, and Noir perfectly read that intention.


『You have quite high capability with 'Domination', therefore I'm sure it doesn't take long for you to mwnguasanya. All you need to do is accept that authority fully, and use it often to make your body and soul more compatible with it.』


Unfortunately, Noelle did not often use dominance, and trying to do so now would only be a waste of time. Because right now, he was racing against time.


The last catalyst was in sight, and he needed the authority of dominance to obtain it. At the same time, the Bengis Queen was already getting weaker, and the seal could open at any time without letting everyone prepare.


" … Is there no other solution? "


Noelle immediately widened her eyes. He felt like he had just seen Walah who was smiling widely, but he was sure that it was just an illusion.


『Hehe, let me control it.』


The short answer was immediately Noelle refused without a second thought.
