【Skill: Holy Blood: The Original Oath】
─────────────
A buff skill that causes a significant increase in all stats for a certain period of time through the resonance of blood and light.
The children were still flustered and unable to grasp the situation, running around in confusion.
Nevertheless, I didn’t even blink.
Because I treated a perfectly sane vampire as a senile old man without any solid evidence.
“Hey, wait a second… What on earth is going on…?”
“Is this really the nun’s magic…?”
“I-I can’t believe it….”
“Don’t just stand there—!! Grab your weapons quickly!!”
While everyone was staring blankly into the air, the first to grasp the situation was Rune, who urgently shouted and drew the bow she had on her back.
“Why are you acting like this…?”
“Just do it already! As the leader, you can’t just stand there like this!!”
“No, no matter what, how are we supposed to deal with Levi….”
“Aizen—!!!”
The reason Aizen hesitated this much was obviously because the opponent was me.
He was emotionally shaken by having to genuinely confront the benefactor who raised and cared for him after all this time.
But the more the leader Aizen hesitated, the harsher I had to be with the children.
It was, after all, a one-sided discipline and a very personal way to vent my anger.
─────────────
【Skill: Holy Blood: Vortex】
─────────────
As I slowly reached out toward the children who still couldn’t draw their weapons, blood began to coalesce around my palm, and a fierce vortex was created in an instant.
“—?!!”
It soon pulled Aizen, who was standing at a distance, strongly toward me, and in the blink of an eye, Aizen’s collar was in my hand, making him flail in the air.
– Slap─!!
As soon as I grabbed Aizen’s collar, I didn’t hesitate to slap his cheek, sending him flying away.
“Next.”
The expressions of the remaining children who witnessed the scene right in front of them began to harden rapidly.
They barely managed to draw their weapons and prepare to face me, but the time was already too late, and I found myself gripping Ellie’s collar.
“H-Hiiik─!!”
“Don’t worry, Ellie. It’s just a little sting.”
– Slap─!!
I didn’t go easy on Ellie either.
Again, I slapped her hard, sending her flying in the same direction as Aizen, and then forcibly pulled Iris toward me.
“Iris is great, but I think you trust your book too much.”
“S-Sister…?!”
“I hope you only use the book as a reference from now on.”
– Slap─!!
As I sent Iris flying in the same direction, Rune, who had been the first to grab her weapon and take a defensive stance, drew her bowstring and shot an arrow at me.
The sharp arrowhead sliced through the air and accurately shot right in front of me, but regrettably, before it could reach me, the arrow corroded and vanished without a trace.
Watching that scene from a distance, Rune slowly widened her eyes and showed a perplexed expression.
“Eh, huh…?”
When she first received the bow as a gift from the World Tree, Rune couldn’t even properly pull the bowstring, let alone shoot.
Though I didn’t teach her directly, I still felt a significant sense of pride seeing her display such perfect accuracy.
If her outward growth hadn’t been so slow, she would have enjoyed much more popularity from the outside world.
“Good job, Rune. That’s how it should be.”
“Wait a minute… Why did my arrow….”
“But from now on, aim for surprise attacks with more powerful skills. That level won’t do at all.”
Just as I was about to gently reach out to Rune after that one remark, Aizen, who had been slapped and flown away, seemed to have regained his senses and charged fiercely.
“I finally get it, Levi—!! What you said wasn’t a lie, huh?!!”
In Aizen’s right hand was a massive greatsword, which he held as lightly as a twig while quickly running towards me, resembling a raging bull.
“I never thought there would be a higher rank of vampire!! But that doesn’t mean I’ll go down easily—!!”
At that moment, splendid light enveloping Aizen’s entire body radiated outward, and it felt as if all the light in the world was concentrating on him, overwhelming the surrounding air instantly.
Aizen’s sword gleamed even more intensely under that light, emanating a tremendous aura from his entire being.
────────────
【Skill: The Brave One】
────────────
As Aizen recklessly swung the greatsword toward me, cutting through the air heavily, the excitement and anticipation emanating from his expression inexplicably made me feel slightly uncomfortable.
“We’re strong enough now—!! We’re not the same as we used to be—!!”
“….”
In my right hand was a long spear of red color.
As I lightly swung it through the air, with a sharp sound, Aizen’s greatsword was effortlessly sliced in half like tofu.
“…Huh?”
As the red light emitted from the spear instantly bisected Aizen’s greatsword, I calmly stepped back and slowly blinked.
In that instant, Aizen froze momentarily, staring blankly at his halved greatsword filled with surprise and confusion.
“Do you usually fight so passionately? Now that you’re 20, I wish you’d choose your words a bit more maturely.”
That quiet shock made all the children present freeze for a moment.
No matter how strong Aizen was as a level 70 hero, he could never contend equally against someone 30 levels higher.
For me, the outcome was only natural, but for the children, who couldn’t see the status window, this result seemed to come as a great shock.
As that awkward silence stretched on, suddenly—
────────────
【Skill: Revelation: Paelia】
────────────
A brilliant, gigantic array suddenly spread around me, and warm light began to shine down intensely.
“What are you doing, Aizen—!! We have to all work together to fight—!!”
With her right cheek swollen, Ellie was standing at a distance with her hands neatly clasped together.
It seemed Ellie had finally grasped the situation, albeit late.
“That kind of ignorant method won’t work at all—!!”
────────────
【Skill: Flame Quake】
────────────
At the same time, the massive array created by Ellie began to crack slightly, and fiery flames erupted like pillars from the gaps, glowing like lava.
The flames slowly spread across the ground, causing the heat to boil the surrounding air.
The blood pooled on the ground splashed chaotically, creating a tumultuous scene.
────────────
【Skill: Leaf Rain】
────────────
Not stopping there, Rune drew her bowstring toward the sky and continuously shot down green arrows created by magic like rain.
As the combined attack from Ellie, Iris, and Rune rained down simultaneously, the power and range were incredible, making it impossible not to be impressed.
Iris’s flames scorched the earth, Rune’s green arrows fell like rain from the sky, and Ellie’s divine power boosted the strength of the magic within.
“No, really, what are you doing, Aizen—!! This is a golden opportunity to show what we’ve practiced to the nun—!!”
“Alright, I get it—!! Stop rushing me—!!”
The combined attack of the three was already astonishing enough.
But this combined attack apparently needed to include Aizen, making it a joint effort of four to finally be complete.
Although Aizen’s greatsword was already broken and in a sorry state, he steadied the remaining half of the sword and prepared for the final attack.
────────────
【Skill: Radiant Strike】
────────────
As Aizen swung the half-greatsword emitting a brilliant light vigorously toward the air, powerful vibrations rippled across the ground, producing an overwhelming earthquake.
At the same time, massive sword energies sliced through the intensely heated air, exuding sharpness with precision, and in the blink of an eye, they flew straight toward me.
Although Aizen’s broken greatsword meant this wasn’t a perfect strike, the mere fact that the children had united their strength to create a combined attack moved me deeply.
“When did they practice something like this….”
But—
────────────
【Skill: Holy Blood: Paelia】

────────────
【Skill: Holy Blood: Bloody Quake】
────────────
────────────
【Skill: Holy Blood: Bloody Rain】
────────────
────────────
【Skill: Holy Blood: Blood Strike】
────────────
The fact that the children could use such skills meant I could use them too.
After all, most of the skills currently employed by the children were derived from me.
Even though they had their respective teachers, the foundation that enabled them to grow this much was laid by me.
Thus, it made no sense that I couldn’t use the skills they were employing.
“What, what is this….”
“The nun was this strong…?”
“How the hell are we supposed to win against this….”
“Ahh—!! P-Please, save me—!!”
A multitude of skills rained down relentlessly, missing the children.
On this day, I kindly explained to the children what the true nature of an origin was.
Though that explanation was just a tiny part of the whole, it was likely that with just that much, the children would understand sufficiently.
Because the children I raised are very smart—.
“How is it? The essence is truly amazing, isn’t it?”
