The cross I thought I dodged, as a matter of fact just barely grazed my right shoulder -- and that right shoulder, the following instant, burst into flames.

It flared up.

It -- evaporated.

Exactly like the time I basked under the sunlight --

"T-The cross--!"

I mean -- isn't it a weak point of all vampires?

Even I knew at least that!

Episode was carrying it like it was overly, overly ordinary, furthermore its extreme conspicuity was on the contrary a blind spot -- that is, he was so completely unperturbed by me noticing it that I left it out of my consideration.

I see.

As a half vampire Episode doesn't have the weak points of the vampire -- in other words, he is unfazed by crosses.

The cross.

A gigantic cross.

And that weapon, it looked like there was nothing to it but if I touched it directly, it seems that the effect comes out.

That terrific effect.

The evaporated skin -- in addition, doesn't regenerate.

Well, it's not like it doesn't regenerate -- although the regeneration is abnormally slow. Even if it's the recovery power of the subordinate of Kissshot -- it doesn't catch up.

Then this is bad -- more than with the sun.

One just touched it directly and it had an instant effect.

And just by a scratch -- I am in this state.

What would have happened if I took the blow directly!?
