“Sorry, Molly. I tried my best to change you, but I failed,” Damian shed a tear. He didn’t know that Molly was an artificial vampire and had no soul. “Now, you’ve gone somewhere too far for me to do anything.” He felt his heart growing heavy. Even though Molly had done some crazy things, the times they spent together were very special memories for him.Damian turned toward the distant tower. His gaze slowly but surely sharpened.“Now there’s only one hurdle left. The man that has turned you into a monster when you were young,” Damian’s eyes turned blue. “He’s also tried to make me terrify and kill children. That’s when I ran away from him.” He remembered Amaal extracting pink and violet colored liquids from the kids and giving them to him and Jezz Bell when they were young. Jezz Bell drank the liquids from the vials, but Damian didn’t. Because Damian avoided drinking human blood from a very young age, even the packaged blood, he had to drink monster blood growing up. This polluted his
Amaal moved back fast, but Benjamin was faster. He bit Amaal’s head off of his torso in one bite and blasted it by shooting it out of his mouth and through the ceiling so that it disintegrated into bits.Amaal was dead, yet he was still alive like a zombie. However, there was one key difference. A zombie was never in control of its mind, but Amaal surely was.Amaal’s head was growing back up pretty fast. Anybody would be terrified to see something like that, but Benjamin didn’t have the time or tact to be shocked. He brutally thrust his claws into Amaal’s chest and grabbed his heart from underneath. With a quick yank of his hand, he plucked the heart out, which looked somewhat different from a regular human heart.Using his spiritual power, he utterly destroyed the heart, turning it into dust.But that didn’t stop Amaal from growing his head fully. And he was already laughing. “You really think you can kill me just like that? I’ve commended my soul to Satan, and he’s given me—” he was
“Where’s your thanks, huh, Sovereign?” Amaal kept throwing his unforgiving claws, aimed to end Benjamin’s life with every attack. “If you beg for your life, then maybe, I’ll let you live a little longer!”Benjamin wished he could do more, but he was already being overwhelmed by Amaal’s attacks and was given no room to even think. Moreover, a lot of feints were mixed in, so that Amaal could get a bit more poison into Benjamins’ body.“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Amaal continued to mess with Benjamin’s emotions. “I’ll look like your wife, so it shouldn’t be too hard for you to lick my feet.”“You bastard!” Benjamin ignored Amaal’s attacks and went in for a punch.Amaal wanted just that. He took Benjamin’s punch, but at the same time countered it with another claw attack that cut Benjamins’ flesh at his chest.Both were sent flying back, but Amaal grew wings and reversed his direction and came to attack Benjamin again.Benjamin was momentarily paralyzed by the poison flowing into hi
“Blood is my drink. Lies are my words. Terror is my way… All this you’ve given me to me because I obeyed you, fought for you, and laid your opponents low.” Amaal prayed to his source of power to summon the strength of darkness to recover and rise out of the crumbling, collapsing earth. “I killed your enemies whenever and wherever I found them. Even now, I wish to do the same.” He rose up into the air and lifted his hand. “Life Pull!”Even though Akira and Mina were more than a mile away from him, they still felt a great pull toward Amaal. Akira tried her best to fly against the pull, but her wings snapped and broke. Both Mina and Akira got pulled toward Amaal like a magnet to metal.Mina used her spiritual power at the last second to push Akira away.Mina’s throat went and fit nicely in Amaal’s hand. His nails dug into her neck. “You filthy old thing… When the mud flood happened almost two centuries ago, it was your ancestors that stopped the trains of children that were coming to our
Many years ago.On Sciocidad, near a water fountain, Ryan was teaching a private lesson just for four children: Benjamin, Neel, Rye, and Dahlia.“We live in world that is alive and connected, every inch and atom of it in one way or another, whether you’re able to see it or not,” Ryan told them and then looked at the fountain and said, ‘rise,’ and the jet of water rose in height, shocking the children. He said, ‘shrink,’ and it shrank back to its normal size. “Every word that comes out of your mouth affects the world, so always be careful when you speak. Don’t say bad things to others, especially to those you love, because your words have such power. In fact, every thought that pops in your mind is also just as powerful. So, refuse to have evil thoughts. You should always keep yourself the same both in and out. That’s the only way you can attain the spiritual energy that has been blessed to our clan.”“H-How did you control the fount, Uncle?” Rye curiously asked, her eyes not blinking
Coming back to the present.“Move!” Dahlia took it upon herself to open up a path through the earth while Rye supplied oxygen to others.(One of the main weaknesses we have is that we need to breathe unlike vampires to keep our bodies functioning.) Rye thought. (It turned out to be a good thing that I stored a lot of vital air inside my body. Not just a good thing but life-saving! Now, I just need to hold on until we get to the surface.) She also used the wind to carry everyone up.As they came up, Shadow was continuing to remove poison from Benjamin’s wound.Benjamin stopped him. “Don’t overburden yourself. You’ve done enough. I’ll take care of the injury from here on.”“But, my lord..”“You’ve done enough. Let’s focus on the enemy.”A few moments later.“As your dad, let me help you by ending your suffering.” Amaal swiftly waved the halo-sword with the full intent to decapitate Damian once and for all.ZUM~!Amaal’s sword stopped millimeters away from Damian’s neck, as Rye had stopp
“Let’s be friends…” These words that came out of the mouth of this stranger made Mina and others feel like they had lost a few of their brain cells. “W-Who are you?” Mina hesitantly asked. “Y-You’re definitely not human, but… you’re not a vampire, either.” She could just tell from the vibration that this man was giving off that he was no longer the same as Amaal. He was something different, something otherworldly. “Some of you haphazardly drink the blood of your own kind trying to represent me by indulging yourselves in worldly things,” he replied while looking at Akira and Damian. “Some of you waste your love on ingrates,” his gaze shifted to Benjamin. “You shower kindness on those who don't deserve it and live in spiritual pipe dreams.” His eyes then fell on Mina. “Some of you never express their love and live a life of abstinence.” He looked at Rye and Dahlia. “Some of you don't even know how to obtain the things they love and just struggle forever and ever. O men and women of mi
Many years ago.“Are angels real?”“How do you tell them apart from humans?”“How can I play with them?”Everyone except Benjamin in his little group asked Mina all kinds of questions.“They can take on different appearances, so you can’t distinguish them just by their physical traits as people used to do so in the past,” Mina told them while they massaged her limbs. “But what doesn’t change is that they give off an otherworldly energy, whether we’re talking about the good angles or the fallen ones. You don’t have to worry when you meet the good ones, but when you see the bad ones, you should just run. Fighting them is not going to achieve anything because they can’t be killed because they’re spiritual beings.”“How do we tell apart a good angel from a bad one?” Benjamin asked.“The bad ones have blood on their hands. While they may fool ordinary people as angels of light,” Mina stated, “but our clansmen are sensitive to spiritual energy, so we’ll be able to discern them.”“Have you m
