Deuteronomy-Postremum: Reincarnated as a Vampire in an Extremely Chaotic World!

Eventually, the gloomy weather died down, as well as the rising of the death count.

Inherited after a terrible accident, she, herself named by the divinities, called upon the dried lands, to bring out the harvests.

She, who named: Pikaia Adell, blessed of the Gods, with the talent for crafts and inventions, similar to that of earth. What's a girl like that doing here? We should've taken her to base already, but the Empire kept bugging us.

"I suppose we'll live here for a while... Until Rika comes back, I'll continue working on the plane."

She says, as she nails a hammer into the piece of metal, that will soon become a civilian form of flight.

"Very good. For my allies, you shouldn't worry about them right now. Keep working on the plane. Strategic Bombing and Chemical Warfare will be a massive advantage in this war."

Of course. Strategic Bombing and such wasn't on her mind when making such machinery.

"Uuu..!! Don't say that!! Everything doesn't need to be weaponized, you know?! Try to enjoy things in life without destroying someone else's life..!"

Hm. She may be right. But it would be a shame if her talents were to be wasted.

Currently, everyone else but me in the hero's party is sitting around in the city, doing whatever. It's been 10 days now since we've been here, and yes, they all know about Pikaia as well.

She's been living under a rock, literally. After Rika locked her in the basement, she left out for war, possibly dying from a stray bullet.

"Hello..? This is manta again! Glad to see you're still alive, Vixen!"

Oh, it's Manta. How long has it been since we've last talked, about 30 days?

"Ah. What is it, Manta? What's the situation?"

"Device Short Circuited..! Because Rabbit left us without a clue, the entire magic ampi- ampi- ampilification... Amplification device blew up!"

"Huh..? Is this really Manta? You sounded like Sting for a second there."

"Hoh-hoh-hoh!! Surprised you saw through it! Thought you were deaf and blind! But now I've changed my opinion about you, Leader..!"

Sting's kind of annoying huh. Was she also the one who talked to me back in the military bases..? The connection was terrible, and it was hard to hear her, but that nonsense storytelling was definitely not by Manta!

"Now. Tell me the actual situation, be serious for once..!"

"Hihihi..!! Not to worry, Leader! Everything's fine! Except for the amplification device of course..."

"Can you tell me what happened? How'd it blow up suddenly?"

"It's a long story to tell..! But looks like progress has been reduced!"

How's everything fine then..? Could this be Keasius' work? If he actually did help us, there should've been more progress instead.

"Hold on, did a man, or woman, come to help you guys..?"

"What? Of course no..! What are you talking about, Leader?"

"Are you being serious? A person going by the name of Keasius, or the Tale of the Great White should've arrived at our base..."

"Who's that? More importantly, we've received a really good book about Electromagnetic Magic! Looks like we'll be able to reach 40% of our full potential in just 5 years! Perhaps the sender is the same person we're talking about..?"

Has Keasius not helped us yet? He said something about everyone hiding him in Jruhgu, but if they don't even know about him, then how..?

"Are you sure that no one came to visit you..? Wasn't there a portal that opened up in the city..?"

"Oh! Are you talking about the agent?! She came in from the ocean! She helped us a lot with the superweapon you're making!"

So Keasius did arrive at base... This kid... Why didn't she just tell me?!

"I know what you're thinking, Leader..! You're thinking bad about me huh!?"

"Why didn't you just tell me that he did show up..?"

"He, or She! Both doesn't matter! No one going by He or She, Keasius, or the Tale of the Great White, appeared at our doorstep! Only Agent TGW showed up!"

TGW... Isn't that just short for "Tale of the Great White"?! Maybe I should be mad at Keasius here...

"So? Why did the amplification device blow up?"

"Looks like you've become deaf again, Leader..! Fine then. I shall explain to you the hundredth time!"

"No... You haven't even explain it one time yet..."

"After Agent TGW arrived, she threw the magic amplification device into a bigger magic amplification device! Don't worry though, all is fine on our end!"

"What..? Why'd he do that..?"

"I don't know! It's some incomprehensible science..! Not even I can think of it..!"

"Hmmm... Okay then."

"Okay then!"

"Have you seen Rabbit anywhere?"

"That guy? Oh yeah! Teacher and Commander was always looking for her!"

Teacher and Commander..? Oh, Fin and Frelhr.

"So? Did you find her?"

"No! She's dead!"

Heh..? Dead? Really? No way that she'd die just like that...

"What..?"

"Literally! The Fanine Clan fought her! And they chopped her head off! How foolish it was of her... Kukuku..!!"

Really..? It's the end for her..? Just like that..?

"Everyone seem sad about it for some reason..! But I don't feel emotions, really, so don't hate me for that, alright..?!"

"Sure... I won't..."

Hah... What a shocking news... For her to die this quickly...

But fighting the entire Fanine Clan was really strange... And foolish... Why would someone like her fight them..?

Soon, the airplane blueprints and mechanics were built. It's a basic aircraft, but it should be enough for bombing.

"Hah..! What a fine masterpiece! Thanks for the ideas, Vixen."

No problem. The rest of the team arrived, we placed the plane at the middle of a field. Now... The only problem remaining... Is that we don't have bombs anymore. Rika used them all during the battle against General Yynfur.

"Hmm. How brilliant. Haven't seen one before. Even in the military..!"

"The military doesn't use it that often, you know..? How'd you even see them if you're on the ground?"

It's not supposed to be seen you guys!

"Well. This piece of machinery definitely rivals magic..!"

"Yeah. It's a shame that any Magic user with the Flight spell can just catch up to us though..."

"Noo..! My years of hard work..! Gahh..!"

Don't worry though. Most magic users aren't able to use [Fly], only those at certain ranks, or those significant in the military.

"It's not even supposed to be for civilian transportation, right?"

Oh- this is bad... Pikaia didn't make this plane as a form of weapon... This was made specifically to carry a person..! Has she forgotten the fact that most mages can just shoot it down? Gun users could also just do the same!

"I'm sorry..!! Noo!!"

"Wait. If we can just modify it a little bit. We can turn it into an effective bomber!"

"Great idea, Den! We'll be the ones to get the materials just like before. Lare, Liand, come with me."

"How tiring..!"

"I don't want to go into that forest again!"

And then, Crowler, along with Liand and Lare, left the city in search for materials. This was going to take another 10- no, an entire month! It might take less time than before... But since it would be entirely remade- what an annoying piece of metal..!

Production of the plane began a year ago, the entire thing was only made in less than half a year since then. Pikaia could've make it with less time, but since Rika asked her to create weapons as well, the plane was created worse than expected.

"Hold on. I've got a new idea."

Hm? What is it, Feradon? Is the first time he's gotten a plan?

"How about. We create boxes and throw them at our opponents?"

What a simple idea..! But it could work, actually..!

Our current goals were now changed since we've learned about what Opera told us. Simply put, we were going to put all demons into eternal sleep. Literally.

"We have magic as well. If we can just put chemicals and magical poison into boxes and send it to our enemies... No blood will be shed! And no souls will be lost! All demons will be put into a state where they can't wake up anymore! Basically, we're going to trap their souls in their body! That way, the Blood God won't come!"

But death is still inevitable. Old age, random diseases, anything, most creatures will die eventually. We're just prolonging the time before the Blood God's arrival, are we?

"Seems like you've got it already. The Blood God will definitely come back soon, but until then, we'll have to prepare. We need the most time we can get, in order to defeat the Blood God..!"

I see... What a simple, but good plan.

"Since Pikaia is still creating the plane, our alternative for dropping chemicals will be..."

By bombarding them from far away!

"I'll let the others know. Artillery should be easier to create, than a plane."

Thanks, Feradon. He might be useful without his magic after all...

"Plutonium", and "Uranium". Common things used in Nuclear Weapons. But a Nuclear Bomb would be too much to drop on our enemies, instead, we're going to drop only, radioactive materials unto the demons!

"Sniff sniff... This is plutonium! You can't fool me haha! Nom."

Hmm... Seems like Pikaia isn't a human. For one that eats rocks and metals... Even radioactive materials...

What actually is Pikaia?

"Who knows! I was born in the desert, and Rika picked me up, she said..!"

So Rika's like her mother..? I see why she's acting this childish... She's probably never been sent outside huh...

"Nope, Vixen, you're wrong."

Huh? Feradon is correcting me..?! Wait, how does he even know what I'm thinking?!

"Plutonium isn't edible. So don't even try eating it. You're too simple minded haha!"

No. You're the one wrong here.

"What? But I just ate it! Want some..? I don't mind sharing these rare food to you... Vixen!"

"What?! No way anyone would eat a rock! Stay away from us, freak!!"

"Grrr!! Who told you to eat this!?"

I'm pretty sure most species would die by just being near that... Is Feradon using [Barrier II] too?

"Anyways. Calm down, freak. Judging by your diet. I can tell that you're a Demi-human huh?"

"H-huh?!"

"Ha! Got you now! Demi-human!"

"No! What even is that?! For your information... I am a dragon..!"

"Heh..?"

"Heh?!!"

Heh..?

"You're a dragon!!!?"

She's a dragon??!!

"Of course! Wasn't it obvious? Looks like my camouflage technique works really well huh!"

Heh... How ridiculous... I have no words to say...

"You told me that you were picked up in the desert!"

"Yeah? That was what Rika said. But I'm a dragon obviously! I also have a lot of magic you know?!"

Why was she so scared then..? And also, what about the Eleantad Empire hunting her..?

"You told us that you were being threatened by the empire right..?"

"Well. I am a dragon, of course! But my powers have been sealed right now! By the Eleantad Empire! If only we could kill my sealer!!"

"Sealer..? Who are they?"

"You wish to help me, mere human?!"

"Ha. I won't then-"

"Fine fine!!! I'll tell you please..!"

I can tell... My senses tells me that she definitely will backstab us once she gets her powers back...

"A priest of the Blood God came down and chopped my head off... It was painful! And then they locked me inside a box..! Rika found me and broke me out..! That's what she said!"

Hmmm... I have a feeling that she's lying...

"So where's this guy now?"

"How should I know? You should find them out yourself!"

"You annoying brat..!! I'm trying to help you here..!!"

Well. This was the same exact reaction I had when I met her.

The production of the airplane, along with the weapons and artillery continued. Materials wouldn't be that difficult to find now, with this team, all of them should be done in about... A month! Not really the expected amount of time, but it's the shortest right now for making all of them.

Suddenly. "Triax Fanine". One of the strongest members in the Fanine Clan, arrived in the city.

The Fanine Clan wasn't related to any side in this war. Only General Litharin is joining the human's side. But other than that, most ignores the Fanine Clan, treating them as neutral.

Looks like Rabbit has really lost... What's a member of the Fanine Clan doing here though?

After 10 days later, I finally realize...

"40,000 men lost against one man?!"

There were newspapers about the Eleantad Empire's soldiers being sent off Madagon. All because of one man. That man being, Triax Fanine. Of course, we, and the resistance groups helped as well, but he did most of the work in the battle.

"Hooray!! Thank you Lord Triax!!!"

"We will give you anything as thanks!!"

"My family will be saved now!!"

The people thanked him, celebrating as he walks around the streets. The Asanrak army arrived later, and he disappeared shortly after... What a mystery..!

"What was that all about..?"

"Who knows. Did he just come down here to wipe out everyone..?"

As I walk down Pikaia's basement. A letter is seen placed on the table.

I walk over to pick it up. It says...

"Vixen Corr. This is Rabbit. Don't tell anyone about this. Don't even think about this. Cut it out off your brain or something. I'm still alive. The Fanine Clan is not an enemy. They'll be our greatest allies against the Blood God."

Rabbit's still alive?! Such relief..!! But wait... What if it's not from her..? What if it's from that Triax guy..? I must still be careful...

There's something written on the back...

"Have you learned Soul Retraction yet?"

Heh. This is definitely her then. I guess I still need to continue learning about [Soul Retraction]... I haven't found any clues about it yet, so learning will be extremely difficult.

I mustn't let anyone else know that Rabbit is still alive though. Mind readers will be difficult, but I can't just cut off my brain or something! There isn't any memory erasure spells too... Guess I'll just be careful about it.

Later, the chemical weapons were now prepared. [Poison II] was poured into shells, along with multiple hazardous substances and venom. All of this wasn't to put one to death, instead, it was turn conscious beings into vegetables.

At high grounds, we set up artilleries and cannons aimed at the enemy forces approaching the city. The army has helped us as well, reducing time for creating the plane, and our weapons.

"Cenry! Man the cannons! Sile! Take the artilleries! The rest, ammunition and snipers!"

"Lt. Wedden", was sent from the army to help us, along with his men. Explains why Rika didn't return.

The soldiers fire our weapons at the enemy. It's a success!

The empire's troops fell quickly, under the effect of the chemicals, the survivors were shot down by the snipers, but only to incapacitate them.

After a long day of capturing and arresting, we won! The army gave us rewards before moving on. A few soldiers were left to patrol in the city, which means that Pikaia will be safe now...

.... Or should be....

Her seal still remained, the empire should've been wiped off Madagon by now, yet her powers still hasn't come back. Is she really a dragon? Or is there something else?

"23 Confirmed kills... 5,801 captured... What sort of magic and weaponry did you use..?"

It's Triax. While I was out collecting flowers in the forest, Triax appeared.

"The Baphomet calls... The abyss will be opened up soon... Prepare thyself until Baphomet says so... Vixen, join us together with Baphomet."

Baphomet? I'm pretty sure that guy only existed in the old world... What's the two of them doing here? Why do they want me to join?

I shake my head, saying no.

"You wish to destroy evil do you..? Baphomet controls Order... Your friend is already with- ahem no. An agent has already joined you... You may know them as the Salmon Shark's friend... We've situated in the Holy Pyramids... Meet the cat there... And she shall tell you the details..."

I see... The Holy Pyramids huh... They're located in the deserts... But how should I even get there?

"Prepare for as long as you want. But this is in order for the Blood God to not awaken... Lazarus-Delta-Aquamarine-Alice has began it's move, Baphomet will be your gateway to Lazarus-Delta-Aquamarine-Alice..."

Hmm. I'll visit as soon as possible. Once we finish the plane, we'll head to the Holy Pyramids first.

"I thank you in advance... I'll be waiting as well... See you later, Ms. Vampire..."

Alright. See you later, Triax Fanine.

The Blood God really is troublesome huh...
