VRMMO: My first Contractee is Yandere

Rouro swung his massive arm, toppling the surrounding trees. This made it harder for the vampires to use guerrilla tactics.

As the forest crumbled, several vampires were forced out of hiding.

"Flash."

Liora blinded them with a flash of light, then rushed in for the kill.

She decapitated a female vampire, but since it wasn't enough to kill her, Liora burned her with holy magic. She then used the "Offering: Swift Dance " to reposition herself and cut down another vampire on the opposite side.

Screams echoed among the vampires.

"Forget the grunts! Kill this child!"

The vampires all focused on Liora.

They launched countless spells and arrows at her. She cut through most of them with her magic-destroying blade, while the few that hit were immediately healed.

An arrow aimed at her face hit her palm instead, but she didn't even flinch as she pulled it out. Blood from the wound danced in the night wind, but the injury healed right away.

The vampires hesitated, unnerved by Liora's regenerative abilities.

"Regeneration like a vampire… Is she some kind of self-healing monster?!"

"If that's the case, crush her heart!"

The vampires' close-combat troops surrounded Liora. But for us, that was actually convenient.

It's a hassle to find enemies in the dark, after all.

Moreover, Liora's new title, "Harbinger of Death," grants a slight attack boost during group battles. Since the vampires are considered living beings, her attacks were super effective.

"The gods have spoken."

In the pitch-black night, Liora's crimson eyes glowed ominously. Those who gazed into them instinctively stepped back.

"You cannot devour me."

The massacre began.

---

The vampires were troublesome foes.

They had regenerative abilities similar to Liora's, and their immortality—being able to survive even after decapitation—surpassed hers. Their physical abilities were also superior, making them a higher-tier species than Liora.

But Liora was still stronger.

The vampires didn't know how to use their regeneration properly. The moment they took damage, they reflexively stopped moving. Liora, however, could keep attacking even after losing an arm.

They should've fought more aggressively! They should've let their flesh be cut and kept pressing the attack. That's the strength of regenerative abilities.

But I suppose only a crazy person could use regenerative power effectively in battle.

On top of that, they relied too much on their regeneration.

Liora, on the other hand, had the "Life-Stealing Blade" and the "Vitality-Sapping Blade" ready.

Taking a hit from Liora meant becoming a mere resource for her recovery. The vampires, who weren't very good at dodging, found that even though they initially had the upper hand in terms of strength, Liora ultimately outmatched them with her superior recovery rate.

Out of the twenty or so vampires, she managed to take down more than half of them.

The remaining enemies fled into the darkness of the night, but there wasn't much we could do about that. Regardless, we had successfully decimated the enemy force.

Liora, now drenched in the blood of the fallen vampires, put away her scythe.

Under the moonlight that filtered through the trees, her figure was clearly visible to everyone in the squad. The soldiers, who hadn't done anything, muttered in fear.

"She single-handedly wiped out the vampire squad... No way."

"With that kind of recovery ability, could she be a vampire too...?"

"If she were, why would she have killed them?"

"She's a grim reaper..."

After blowing away the ashes of the dead vampires with her "Bomb Lightning" spell, Liora turned to face the soldiers.

Her beautiful, yet young and delicate, blood-soaked face was visible to all.

A single drop of blood fell to the ground with a soft "plop."

"You should all rest now. They won't be coming after us anymore."

"Y-Yes, I understand... right."

The captain nodded repeatedly, like a broken toy.

It seemed that the mission was a success. The truth behind this incident was that vampire soldiers had been lying in ambush in the dark forest.

From now on, they would probably adjust their schedule to ensure they only passed through this forest during daylight.

"God."

"Yes, Liora?"

"I learned something today! I got better at coordinating... I did it!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Yes, you did well. You've improved a lot. You're a good girl, as expected of Liora."

"Yay! I did it...! Hehe, I belong to God!"

Liora's eyes twinkled as she puffed out her small chest. Perhaps her concern when she told the others to rest was proof of her growth.

Liora had grown a little. I couldn't help but feel slightly proud of her.

Wait, no! That was close.

I almost let my paternal instincts take over. Innocent young girls can be quite dangerous.

That night, unusually, Liora was the only one who slept.

As Jack Jack said, the war with the city led by the True Ancestor Vampire Yoyo has begun. We have been hired as volunteers by one of the cities.

In reality, it's closer to being mercenaries, though.

Our goal this time was to defend the city.

No matter how strong Liora is, the enemy army numbers thirty thousand.

Liora alone cannot win.

More importantly, even Liora may struggle against the enemy's top officers.

If it were up to me, I'd like to play solo with Liora. However, I don't intend to put her at risk of getting lost.

Thus, we joined the military.

Liora, now a mere foot soldier.

The clothes Liora wears are called the [Wind Garb of the Great Forest]. It's armor obtained long ago, with decent performance.

Dress: [Wind Garb of the Great Forest], Rarity: [Create Epic]

Level: [38]

Agility: [30] Defense: [20] Durability: [1000]

Skills: [Appearance Preservation], [Environmental Damage Immunity], [Defense Enhancement 2%], [Minor Flame Resistance]

It has quite a lot of useful features.

That's why Liora doesn't end up naked during battles. It's a khaki-colored, military-style dress, and it suits her current role perfectly.

Though now, it's mostly hidden by the cloak distributed by the military to identify our affiliation.

"Captain Liora!"

Morning.

As Liora quietly sipped her tea, a young boy approached her like a puppy. The boy, who wore an eyepatch over one eye, was named Zeralc.

He was a novice adventurer that Liora once took care of.

Zeralc arrived, panting heavily, clearly having run a long distance.

"Reconnaissance complete… here's a letter from Lord Shio."

"Got it. You can stay on standby."

"I want to fight too! I can fight!"

"No, you'll just be in the way. Clean up. It's a hassle if we get caught."

"…Yes! Understood. Best of luck in battle."

"Thanks."

The battle began a few days ago.

Liora, who went out as an ordinary soldier, single-handedly decimated an enemy unit. Thanks to her remarkable achievements and outstanding guerrilla tactics, she was already made captain of a unit.

That said, it's a small elite unit… in name only.

There are only six members.

One of them, Zeralc, is a new recruit.

It's not that she's being treated unfairly. Liora is simply regarded with such high esteem that they believe she can destroy the enemy's weak points precisely, even without more manpower or strong companions.

One of Liora's subordinates, an elderly man in his seventies, smiled as he leaned on his cane.

"Captain Liora. This time, it's a typical rescue mission. Normally, it'd be described as 'food supply,' but for vampires, their meals are humans. If we steal their resources, we'll have the advantage."

"You take care of the strategy. I'm only here to kill."

"Understood. We'll carry out the operation tonight."

The old man's name is Gano.

He seems to be a somewhat important military officer, but in order to make use of Liora, he gave up his position and became her subordinate.

Considering his age, he probably has a lot of pride, but he's willing to bow to a child and throw away his status and career if it means victory. Old men like this are always dangerous. In fact, his strategies have been accurate, allowing Liora to make great achievements by just going, killing, and returning.

Gano always sends Liora to the enemy's weak points.

Now, night falls.

The reason we carry out the operation at night is simple.

If we attacked during the day, we could win easily, but the vampires, in their desperation, might kill the hostages (who they see as food). We need to fight under conditions favorable to the enemy.

The vampires' lair is in a cave. In this world, vampires don't die from sunlight, but they are weakened by it.

They seem to spend most of the day hiding.

Several vampires emerged from the cave.

In this war, even a few vampires entering the city is enough for them to win. That alone is enough to destroy the city.

Thus, they have been attempting to infiltrate the city in small numbers multiple times.

"…I'm going."

Liora, hiding among the leaves, moves toward the cave.

A butterfly summoned by a summoner, serving as a messenger, accompanies her. Following the butterfly's guidance, Liora successfully infiltrates the cave.

"Hmph."

It's better than the bandit group we fought before.

The people used as food are chained up, but they haven't been tortured or abused. Well, if they weaken their food, it would hinder their movements.

However, they are left with little nutrition or stamina.

They are mostly skin and bones. Their necks are covered in bite marks. There are about ten captives, but all are too anemic to even stand.

Three vampire soldiers are guarding these humans.

"…A girl with a scythe and wings. You must be Liora?"
