Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 342 Monster Hunting

"These monsters were top-ranked monsters. Even a normal vampire warrior can't handle it because of its potent body structures and deadly skills.

I will recommend if you use ranged attacks instead of using any close attacks," Virgil stated.

He flew in the air and pointed his finger at the sound, saying, "There is one coming from there. And the other one is from the north. It seems they launched the monsters from all directions."

"What about the west?" Rudy asked curiously.

"There is nothing in the west. Only a never-ending sea and this kingdom are on the mountains."

After saying that, Virgil flew to the south while Rudy rushed to the north.

"I have only strolled around the west as that's where the palace, chamber of the valley, and the vampire academy are located. I never went north, south, or east. Otherwise, I would have teleported there instead of flying," he muttered with a sigh.

When Rudy reached the northern borders of the kingdom, the two monsters had already penetrated through the defense, and the soldiers who were guarding the boundaries were injured.

'If only I had come a bit sooner…'

Rudy first recused all the soldiers and placed them on top of a mountain where the monsters couldn't reach, but now their attention was only on Rudy.

One monster was twenty times the size of an average adult human. It had a hairless skinny body with long legs and hands. It had a massive head about the size of its body, with one big oval-shaped eye on the front and another on the back. It had no mouth or fangs, but its claws were as sharp as a razor.

The other monster was about the same size in height, but its width was almost double of its height. It had no hands, but it had three legs and one tail that was acting as a fourth leg. Its mouth was in the back, and it was crawling on the ground. And It had three eyes, one on each leg.

"Oh come, they are uglier and disgusting than the last ones…" he groaned.

Rudy took a deep breath and fired laser beams from his eyes that burned everything it fell on without leaving any ash. He completely razed the monsters without leaving any sign of them.

"Hmm~" He let out a short sigh and muttered, "This is a drawback of being overpowered. I can defeat anything or anyone without even trying. I can't enjoy the fight, but hey, I am not complaining."

Rudy headed to the injured soldiers and asked, "Are you guys okay?"

"Uhh… who are you?"

"I am the new Vampire Monarch," Rudy stated with a straight face.

"What?!" the soldiers exclaimed in unison.

"That was a joke. But you guys seem okay. Do you have a healer or medic around?"

"Yeah. They should be here at any minute," one of the soldiers replied.

"Good. So I can now return to—hmm?" Rudy stopped when his ears twitched.

'Argh! I hate this feeling. It's so fcking annoying! It feels like someone is hammering my brain from inside!'

Rudy flew higher and glanced to the south.

'Is it coming from the south? But Virgil should have taken care of the monsters there. However….'

Rudy glanced at the west and muttered, "My gut tells me that it's coming from the west."

Rudy teleported to the palace, and his sensation got stronger. He flew to the coast side, hoping to encounter the monster, but there was nothing but a peaceful sea and the waves hitting the bank.

Rudy looked up at the sky, assuming it could be a flying monster, but it was all clear too,

"Hmm? Not on the ground, not on the sea, and not in the sky either. So there is only one place they can be."

Rudy flew up for a few seconds and dived into the sea with a razing fast speed that broke the sea upon the impact.

The vision in the sea would generally be blurry and somewhat foggy for everyone, but not for Rudy. He spotted the monster in a second.

He had already expected to find the monster in the sea as it was the only remaining place, but he was still disgusted by its look.

The monster in the sea was something similar to a Kraken, but with eyes and worm-like a gooey creature on its body.

'I always wanted to go dry diving as I was a big fan of such things. But I never expected my first diving would be monster hunting.

Virgil advised me to not go close to them and only use ranged attacks. But what can I use in the water? Is that even a question I should ponder about?'

Rudy scoffed inwardly and used telekinesis to toss the monster into the air. He also leaped out of the sea and took a deep breath, but not because he was out of air.

The monster rolled into the air and started to fall down.

'Let's see if this works!'

Rudy's body suddenly began to glow orange and red in a strange manner. His throat was glowing the most, and it seemed like it was the source of the glow.

When the monster was close enough, Rudy exhaled sharply and shot out a fire out of his mouth like a dragon.

He exhaled again, and this time it was even more intense. If some human were to see him, they would think of a flamethrower.

The Kraken's size was as big as the other monsters, but Rudy's fire engulfed it whole and burned its body, including the ashes.

COUGH! COUGH!

Rudy placed his hand on his throat and uttered, "Let's never try this again. My throat feels so numb. It's like one of those days when you wake up with a swollen or sore throat for no reason, and your entire day feels like shit because of that."

"Rudy!"

Rudy turned around to see Virgil flying at him.

"Was there a monster here too?"

"Apparently, unless this sea always had Kraken, and I just killed one thinking it was a deadly monster," Rudy replied awkwardly.

"No, they don't."

"Then my answer would be yes. There was a monster here too."

"I saw a surge of fire coming from the sea, so I rushed here, but it seems you already took care of it."

"Yeah."

"Now that everything is taken care of, shall we go?" Virgil asked calmly.

"Yeah. I want to enjoy the party more."

"Oh, I wasn't talking about the party, though."

"Hmm?"

"The Lord's throne. Didn't I say I would take you there?"

"Oh…"
