A minute earlier.A couple of the guards stationed outside the trial and testing laboratory were betting on Goliath and Cain.“Goliath is stronger than Cain. That’s why he’s ranked four!”“Bullshit. Cain didn’t focus on the rankings, or he would have easily moved Goliath out of his place.”“I don’t think so.”“Just because you don’t think so, it doesn’t mean that’s the truth.”“Huh?”As they argued, two people walked past them casually, startling them, for these two people were Goliath and Cain. Seeing how they weren’t in shackles, the guards realized that these two vampire knights were released. The guards shut their mouths and got down on one knee until Goliath and Cain were no longer within earshot.Goliath and Cain were strolling down the street.“Let’s have a match soon. Whoever wins can have Jezz all for himself,” Cain suggested.“I was thinking the same,” Goliath agreed. “Don’t hold resentment toward me after you lose.”“Keke, you bastard… What do you know?” Cain blurted. “Jez
An adult man in his fifties was teaching a bunch of lab-grown kids in the laboratory. He had the number 100 tattooed on the side of his forehead because he was a vampire knight ranked 100. He was Oliver Nodester who was known as the Gatekeeper of Knights because he wouldn’t allow just anyone to enter the rank of knights. Even though he was ranked 100, his strength was considered to be in the top ten.“Teacher, since the sun is bad for us, why don’t we destroy it?” a student asked.“The sun may not be beneficial for us, but the humans that we need depend on it,” Oliver patiently explained to the kids under purple lights. “Snails can’t survive in the sun, but they love roaming in the grass that needs sunlight to thrive. Snails seek shelter from the sun using the very grass that can keep them from drying out due to the hot winds. In the same way, we use humans that thrive in the sun. Otherwise, we would have done everything we can to cover the sky with the clouds so that the light never
Even though Oliver’s swing had destroyed the walls, he didn’t feel any solid impact with his hammer. To his great surprise, what the hammer struck was Rye’s afterimage. “What?” Oliver was startled. But what bothered him even more was that he couldn’t find a trace of her. “Where did the damn orc go? To think he managed to slip out of my senses… What sort of movement technique did they use?” He was someone who took pride in his senses, and so he found Rye’s move greatly perplexing. “Or was it some sort of a spirit?”He suddenly felt wind blowing behind him. He swiveled and waved his hammer, spinning the handle in his palm. His arm swing this time twisted and created a vortex of wind that destroyed many rooms in its path. But again, the hammer itself didn’t contact anything.But then, something struck his back so hard he was blown off his feet. “Bwuh!” he coughed blood, but he bounced off of a single hand, flipped in midair and managed to land on his feet. He looked around, but he couldn
Soon after Rye’s ‘Void Fist’ destroyed the cerberus, many beast robots surrounded her. While she dealt with them, Oliver escaped.Rye took only a couple of seconds to deal with the beast robots. If she were to look for Oliver, she could still find him, but her priority wasn’t killing the strong vampires, so she quickly explored the lab.And she couldn’t believe what she saw.There were little babies and young boys and girls all torn to pieces with heads chopped off, and arms, legs, and body parts thrown everywhere.Rye ended up puking. She had never seen something like this before. Many rooms were full of blood and gore of the innocent. Not tens or hundreds but thousands upon thousands of infants as well teenagers. If it was possible, she wouldn’t want to witness something like this ever again. It made her want to cry, but it also made her want to utterly destroy everyone who was involved in this.While she was boiling and burning with anger, she stumbled into a room full of vampire c
Bob’s head was flying before he knew what was happening.Rye caught the head. “Tell them to leave this hall, or I’ll kill you.”“L-Leave!” Bob immediately ordered the robots and the clones, and they listened to his orders. “I-I did what you asked for. Now, let me go. I’ll leave quietly.”“I’m not letting you go until I get what I want,” Rye carried his head in her hand and walked around the lab. She had no plans on letting him go, though. “Tell me everything about the labs in this kingdom. If you lie, I’ll know, so you better be telling the truth.”Rye’s voice wasn’t threatening, but Bob found himself trembling. As the blood was leaving his decapitated head, he was finding it difficult to speak freely, but he still answered her questions.Rye stopped in front of a glass chamber inside which there was a garden. “What’s this?” she asked.“It’s where we test the gasses to see how the plants develop and how the bees and butterflies react,” Bob obediently answered. “This was where we first
Though Rye had told Bob to lead the way, she also started destroying all the ongoing experiments and data as she passed through one room after another.Bob couldn’t even tell how she was doing it. “H-How are you able to fry the motherboards without even touching them?”“I am touching them, though, you can’t see it,” Rye coolly replied. She even destroyed the data servers and everything that was connected both wirelessly and through wires. However, she didn’t create much noise in that process. This was beyond anything Bob had ever seen. He wanted to experiment on Rye if possible.“Your powers are truly frightening,” Bob couldn’t even blink. “It’s a pity that you are on a side where you can’t fully utilize them.”Rye didn’t even care to respond to his cunning words anymore. She now stopped by a large room full of thousands of clones of Benjamin. Her heart ached from seeing these clones that were all standing by, unmoving.“Is this the only room, or are there more rooms where you’re crea
The Glory Grounds were known for battles, and the orcs spent most of the time there to get stronger and to earn the blood crystals. However, the vampires had designed a way to get those crystals back from the orcs without having to fight or intimidate them. And the method they predominantly used was the Rodent Labyrinth games.Orcs bet on rodents running through the labyrinths, and most of the orcs were all quite addicted to it.Currently, Denise, Zakaria, and Cranston were all watching these games and the orcs fighting each other after losing.Cranston wanted to bet 10 crystals on the blind rat, but Denise stopped him. “Why are you not letting me bet?” he asked her.“These games are rigged,” she whispered, startling both Cranston and Zakaria.“Are you sure?”“Yep. The rats have electrodes in their heads,” Denise softly said. “They are remotely controlled to move however the one holding the games wants.”“That’s…” Both Zakaria and Cranston were astonished.“In fact, some of these orcs
“Die!” Cranston swung his arm with the intent to claw through the orc’s head.Shadow moved his head back and dodged the attack before grabbing Cranston’s wrist, thereby startling him because Cranston’s arm was moving at a pretty high speed.Shadow pressed his fingers into the forearm at specific spots, sending jolts of shock into Cranston’s brain, making him shake as if he was having a seizure. He then yanked his arm viciously.Cranston’s arm got torn off at the shoulder, and blood sprayed out to the side.Cranston didn’t scream in pain. He bore it and swung his left leg this time, looking to kick Shadow’s head off his torso.Shadow caught the ankle and stopped the kick like it was nothing. Cranston looked baffled for a second. He tried to pull his leg back, but it didn’t come. Shadow squeezed it with brute strength and crushed the ankle bone, this time making Cranston cringe in pain.“That’s enough!” Denise flew into the scene like the wind and kicked her heel down at Shadow’s head.
