Chapter 265 [Daily Life of an Inspector in Inverse Realm!]

for anyone wondering who milliam is, she was one of the inspectors of hell back from the border town arc. she appeared with the hell's guardian, black shadow, in the inverse world/dimension and then soon was taken by hell guardian vampire queen.

'the best thing i did to survive in this unforsaken realm was to put my life on the line. it was ironic but i will probably do it again. after all, the other option meant to stop growing and someday get eaten up by someone whom you could have beaten... or at least run away from.'

—- inspector milliam uncleave of the 18th division, under the duke asbestos, under the hell guardian, vampire queen primula.

...

the hot wind brushed against my face as i stood on my gargoyle, a kilometer above the ground, flying through the skies of fridgar, the capital city under the kingdom of vampires.

"location 7 clear," i mumbled as i checked through the city streets, all the way to the 7th entrance of the city. the people, the slaves, the other monsters were all in their respective places as normal.

since my duty was the same as before when i used to work with lord black shadow, the task of the day was usually to check out the city for any abnormalities, mark any newcomers and scout the area beyond the city for any irregularities. if they were not too out of control, i was also tasked to take care of things on my own.

outside of this, there wasn't much work for me. i could use my free time as i wished, and unless the duke or the queen summoned for me anything in particular, i am basically on my own.

"location 8 clear," i mumbled as i focused, a bit extra careful, trying to find a certain entity that i was told to look for. abraham lincon, was it? it's already been a month since i have come to this city, but still there was no information or sight of that man.

'does he really hold the cure for my clan?' i pondered a bit before putting it at the back of my mind. it wasn't something i was going to find out unless i met abraham. so until then, let's keep looking.

i extended my senses to my indeads that were hiding within the city and looked at every nook and cranny that i could before sighing and then speaking,

"location 9, clear."

there were 12 gates of the capital city fridgar, and dividing the city into 12 equal parts, i usually finished my everyday scouting one at a time before moving to take another round outside the city parameters for a close up.

honestly, it was kind of boring. wasn't much different from what i have used to do before though.

"what should i have for lunch today?" i pondered out loud as i was looking through the 10th location. my eyes sharing the senses of my undeads.

"perhaps i could try the new syrup soup made by the elder witch? it certainly has grown popular. or perhaps i could-"

as i was speaking, i checked through the area where the elder witch's restaurant was. and the first thing that i found there made me pause in my search.

black hair and blue eyes, something that you would rarely find in the inverse realm. his casual outfit that seemed to be depicting a cool and calm nature, contradicted the gluttonous gaze the vampires showed that human.

his smile that seemed to be having everything under his control mismatched with his lack of power, but i knew. he was the last person that anyone should underestimate.

calling my gargoyle back, i then let myself fall from the height, down towards the restaurant. my eyes closed, i kept observing that man taking a sip as he kept staring at the lady bartender with a flirty smile. there were some commotions as a couple of people were staring at each other, almost ready to pounce at him but still didn't, focusing other 'hunters' in check.

after all, humans were one of the rarest of the prays among the vampires.

[shadow!]

as soon as i fell enough to reach about 200 meters away from surface, i teleported myself to the nearest highest spot before using the same skill again

[shadow!]

and then reaching in front of the door of the restaurant where that guy was sitting. slowly opening the door, i entered the restaurant...

"see, i told you she would come. hey, milliam! here!" calling me out, he looked at me with a bright smile. his hand in the air, he gestured to me to reach him before he added," now that i have won the bet, how about it? wanna go out with me this evening?"

he told us about an incoming war, and the time and location of the guy, the heaven's guardian that the queen was searching for. he also added details about the plan of laplace to destroy the entire world along with him since he was an immortal.

and as he reached the end of story, he waited for the queen to answer. the queen kept her silence as she analyzed all the things that adam said before speaking,

"the end of the world, huh? the fate weavers are always crazy. but still, you finished your end of the deal."

her eyes, a bit satisfied with what adam told her, then focused on adam as she spoke,"tell me, fate weaver, what do you want from me? i will listen to one of your requests as long as it is not beyond my scope."

adam pondered for a brief moment before answering," in the next few years, one of my brothers, abraham lincon, will start a great war in the inverse realm. including various other places in this realm, he will also kill about a dozen external cities of the vampires as well. what i need from you is to turn a blind eye to that."

"..."

"..."

"..."

to ask the queen to turn a blind eye to her own people's death... such guts...

the elder witch looked like she was about to pass out as she looked at adam. her eyes almost out of her sockets, her heart beat so loud even i could hear it now.

as for the queen, she narrowed her eyes at adam for a few seconds before asking,

"so you want me to close my eyes as you kill my own kin?"

"yes," he answered with a calculative smile while the queen kept observing her for a few more seconds.

"is he going to kill any inspectors or dukes in that city?" she asked again.

"yes," adam, who was smiling before, now turned serious and then spoke with a heavy voice," 2 dukes and 5 inspectors will be hunted by my brother. according to him, they are the people that must die, so there is nothing i can do about it."

"can i protect them?" the queen asked as she looked at adam who scoffed before a smirk forming on his face as he answered," you can try."

and then he stood up before adding," well. this is more like a brother's request than a personal one, the least i can do as a brother. and honestly, whatever is between him and the demons, vampires and stuff, i hope we can maintain our neutral-friendliesh-type of relation the same as before."

"if i were to kill your brother, are you going to interfere?" the queen asked and adam pondered before answering," personally, i would rather avoid a fight with a hell's guardian. though, if you do happen to kill him, our leader is more likely to summon all of us and hunt you down until you are finally dead. so, it's more of an advice but... please don't do anything rash."

"..."

"..."

"all right. i will comply with your request. but i will do things in my own way as well," the queen finally decided and adam smiled as he added," whatever suits you best."

her eyes then turned to me, and then at the elder witch before she asked," why did you bring her here? i believe she herself had no idea why she was here, sitting at the table with us."

adam then showed an amused smile before speaking," about that. she is a space witch whose powers function on blood and spirit magic. you are going to need it if you want to enter the mortal realm, in the middle of the war."

"how did you..." the queen spoke with a bit of surprise before she looked at the elder witch with a spark in her eyes. the elder witch herself was shocked as she observed adam before he added as he looked at me,

"also milliam is from the ancient demonic race of vitara."

"huh?!!!" and the queen was shocked again as she turned to me, while i myself was stupefied while observing adam as he revealed one of my deepest secrets so easily. how did he know? and why did he tell-

"bye now," adam chuckled before he vanished from there in an instant, erasing his trace as if he never existed there. while there were minor traces of space magic, it was too pin point for me to even notice. though... it was the least of my worries right now.

i turned to the queen before wondering how to escape from there, though the queen's words stopped me before i could do anything,

"so you are from my race, milliam?!"

"huh?" i questioned as i looked at her with an even stupefied expression on my face.

the queen is... a vitara?
