A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

First, head to the nearest location of the Tooth Vampire.

Like the Orphnochs, the Fangbloods possess the ability to transform into human form. The difference is that the Orphnochs were originally human, while the Fangbloods are a different race.

It's difficult to distinguish between vampires and humans with the naked eye, but Jiang Yang had Hanzo follow the target, so it wasn't a big problem.

Along the way, Jiang Yang naturally attracted a lot of attention; there was no way around it, the design of the War Lion was very eye-catching in this era.

Upon arriving at his destination, Jiang Yang put away the War Lion in a secluded corner before emerging.

It was a restaurant located by the lake, where many couples enjoyed their meals while admiring the beautiful scenery, occasionally showing off their affection.

Jiang Yang's target was one of the couples, specifically the woman. The two were sitting in a corner, and the woman appeared gentle and graceful. Judging by her appearance alone, she seemed like a cultured woman.

But according to Hanzo, this guy was just a blood goblin who had just finished eating.

She's currently playing this damn mouth-opening, ahhh game with her partner, completely oblivious to the fact that she recently ate someone.

Indeed, for these blood-toothed demons, eating people is just like eating. What would you feel if you ate a piece of bread? At most, you might say, "It tastes pretty good." In fact, people don't remember how many pieces of bread they've eaten so far.

The Blood Demon didn't care how many people he had eaten.

She and her male companion looked just like a real couple, and Jiang Yang's intuition told him that she must have really fallen for him.

It's a real pity, Jiang Yang thought. If this guy really was using men as a food reserve, then he would have a reason to take action against this man-eating monster.

Now, this girl has fallen in love with a human. According to the laws of the Vampires, a Vampire who falls in love with a human will be erased by the Queen. Since she's going to die sooner or later anyway, Jiang Yang can only do her a favor and send her on her way early.

Who made Jiang Yang so kind-hearted?

Okay, just kidding. Jiang Yang's purpose in coming here is to kill her. As for the love story, that's just pure speculation. Anyway, it doesn't affect the outcome, does it?

However, with so many people, it's not appropriate to take direct action openly; we need to come up with a plan.

"There is."

He took out the pen and paper he had bought when dealing with Kitasaki, wrote a note, and then handed it to Hanzo. Hanzo Express, mission accomplished.

Soon, a note appeared on the other person's table. The person only glanced at the contents of the note before a look of horror appeared on their face. They hurriedly got up, said goodbye, and turned to leave.

As he left, he kept looking around as if he was looking for something.

What was written on the note that could shock the other person so much?

Simple, the blood demon who loves humans is most afraid of the Queen. Each of the four executives of the chessboard has their own responsibilities, and the Queen's responsibility is to eliminate traitors who love humans.

So, as long as you tell her that she's being watched by the Queen, she'll naturally panic and want to leave.

If she truly falls in love with a human, she will do everything in her power to escape; if she doesn't, she will take the initiative to seek out the Queen to clear up the misunderstanding.

At this point, some people may wonder why fanged vampires cannot fall in love with humans.

Some believe this is to ensure the purity of the bloodline of the Vampires, as powerful Vampires with pure bloodlines are the foundation of their dominance.

Of course, this is one reason. Another reason is that humans are just like food to vampires, no different from pigs. If a vampire falls in love with a human, it's like a human falling in love with a pig in a pigsty. This is considered a disgrace to vampires and is unacceptable.

Therefore, any vampire who dares to disobey will be executed by the Queen.

Jiang Yang followed.

The other party was quite sensible; they went to a secluded spot on their own, saving Jiang Yang from worrying about whether others would be watching or whether he needed to make any arrangements afterward.

"Damn it, where is it?"

She had just received a note that said in rather ugly handwriting that the Queen had her eye on her.

Out of fear, she ran away immediately.

Of course, she didn't completely believe this information from an unknown source, so she carefully observed her surroundings but didn't find anyone who resembled the queen.

"The Queen's words are not here."

As Jiang Yang spoke, he walked out from behind the wall.

"Did you give me this note? Who are you? Why did you lie to me? And how did you know my identity?"

Jiang Yang shook his head and sighed; he no longer wanted to answer this kind of question.

"It's nothing, I just have a question I wanted to ask you."

"Question? Stop beating around the bush. I don't have time for your nonsense. Just state your purpose. Otherwise!"

Falling in love with a human is no joke; if the Queen finds out, it really means execution. So, to avoid being discovered, this guy in front of me must die no matter what.

As she spoke, her body transformed, and in the blink of an eye, she became a Tooth Vampire. Judging from her appearance, she should be a Horse Tooth Vampire—good heavens, a mare at that. To be fair, the Tooth Vampire's costume was quite magnificent.

I was originally planning to ask around for some information, but judging from their attitude, they probably weren't going to cooperate. In that case, let's fight.

He took out the Sengoku Driver.

Ahem, surely no one really thinks Jiang Yang is going to use the IXA prototype belt in battle, right? He's not stupid; even the Desire Driver is better than the IXA prototype belt. Although the stats aren't high, the Ninja Deduction still has its mechanisms.

Taking the initiative, while Jiang Yang was transforming, the Blood Demon with the Horse Fang drew his weapon and charged forward with a powerful horizontal slash.

They wanted to cut Jiang Yang in two.

Unfortunately for Jiang Yang, he was prepared. He dodged the attack with a backflip, and the attack struck the orange armor that had descended from the crack just as it landed. The sword was deflected, and the armor bounced towards Jiang Yang.

As the sound effects of Gaim's transformation played, Jiang Yang finished dressing.

Gaim, in orange armor.

"You bastard, who exactly are you?"

A mirror image of a human face appeared on the surface of the horse-toothed vampire's skin; it was that woman.

Jiang Yang did not answer the question, but instead took out the Peerless Military Knife and the Great Orange Pill.

"Choose: either give up absorbing human life energy and live as an ordinary person, or die here."

Even without striking that pose, some of his natural poses made Jiang Yang feel like they were almost as good as the JOJO pose.

"I choose to kill you!"

As she spoke, she drew her sword and launched another attack.

Jiang Yang retreated continuously to avoid the slashes, and sighed at the same time.

"Since that's the case, then let's list your sins!"

With another slash, seizing the opportunity, Daio-maru struck the opponent's blade from below, producing a clear metallic clang, while simultaneously deflecting the opponent's attack. At this moment, the Musou Saber in the other hand seized the opening and slashed continuously.

The parrying technique taught by Mr. Gudako, which I didn't learn in the game, can be used here.

There are two key points to using this move: reaction speed and explosive power that is stronger than the opponent's.

What are the techniques?

Parry, slash, parry, slash. Jiang Yang's attacks were too sharp for ordinary blood goblins; they were already seriously injured after just a few rounds.

"No, we have to escape."

She had to escape; she had to survive.

"I can't die. Yuya is still waiting for me to come back."

Jiang Yang completely ignored what the other person said. Did they really think that saying something with a sense of connection would increase their strength? It's not like the protagonist saying such things is just a flag.

Pushing the chopping bar, leaping up, and delivering a shameless kick, he struck his opponent in the chest and sent him sprawling to the ground. The immense impact cracked the ground, shattering the Blood Demon into fragments that scattered across the floor.

Looking at the cracked ground, Jiang Yang shook his head. To be fair, the Kiva symbol kick by the Kiva Knight was really cool, but unfortunately, he couldn't learn it.
