Adrian moved his arm back a bit, gathering enough force to pierce the unaware Kylian's chest with a push forward.All of the sudden, his expression changed and his eyes trembled. His lips parted to say something but he couldn't as he watched with wide eyes.Reflected in his eyes was Kylian's body covered with large bees. But, one after the other, the bees fell to the ground and died.'What could possibly be going on?' Adrian tried to think of a possible reason, but he found nothing.Adrian large bees' bites were supposed to at first, paralyze the victim. Then after a couple of hours, if the victim didn't consume Adrian's blood, will die of dessication. This ability makes Adrian almost invincible. Just like Caius, the victim needs to consume his blood to be free from the effects of the ability.This made Adrian terrifying and he was unchallenged. But now, what's happening is the complete opposite of what should be happening.The reality is that, Kylian, being a vampire turned by a Skul
…The Mutilator's hideout, the basement….The large, rusting metal door of the basement barged open and the Mutilator fell in. The strong putrid stench that dominated the basement greeted him.The reason for the scent is still vivid as, despite the dim lighting, one could still see the dried bones that littered the cold floors of the underground workshop of the Mutilator.His eyes were weak, but his hands clutched his bleeding head like his life depended on it. His fate depends on it though.He had hit his head hard on the floor when Kylian and Hellsong collided with him. Their supernatural strength made it this severe.Just like the saying, when two elephants are fighting, it's the grasses that suffer most.He was unconscious for several seconds, before he could stand up, and when the duo were busy thrashing each other, he crawled out of the place.The Mutilator grimaced hard. Grunts escaped his lips as he struggled to his feets.He staggered to the table at the extreme end of the la
Flashback..1723 Florence, Italy.Built deep in the woods, a castle stood elegantly, its towering structure so bold that it imbues courage in anyone who lives in it.Inside the building, in a room, the deep colored velvet curtains shielded off the sun rays making it seem like it's night.Bang!Splinters flew everywhere as the rare wood table shattered at the impact of an angry punch.Caius' eyes blazed with rage as he stood before the shattered table, his hands clenched tightly beside him.Bones-the-old was present too, and was the only one there now. He looked much younger. His power to see the future in exchange for his life span is quite cruel for him.But, as of this year, he hasn't used his powers often. There was no crisis, no war, no struggle with anybody except the hunters in Europe. There was nothing to foresee so he really had his time to conserve his seer power, thus his lifespan. As he watched Caius thrash things, his eyes held worry as he said, "you have to calm down, Ca
..Continuation..1723Florence, Italy.Deep in the woods in the middle of the night.Bang! Bang!!Several gunshots boomed in the dark. The crickets creaking in the woods and the frogs croaking around all quietened as the hangings went on.A hunter held up his musket and inserted a bullet. Then he aimed in a direction.Bang!The tree bark was shred off as the bullet scraped it, and sped away. But the target got away.It was so fast.The hunter, about a dozen, all searched around for the creature. "Vampiro! Vampiro!!" One of them yelled, trying to get the others to be more prepared. Of course they know how fast a vampire can be, and how dangerous their speed is.You wouldn't even see them when they come.Swoosh!Something fast struck one of them hard and he fell to the ground, unconscious.The others became more vigilant, their weapons, all of many kinds and shapes were aimed forth as they scrutinized the surroundings for the vampire.Swoosh!A scream was what the others heard and ano
Flashback continuation..1723Florence, Italy...Mercato Vecchio(Old market of Florence)..Two figures under cloaks turned into a corner, behind a shop and got to a much thinner road which was sided by another sets of shops.A pair of curious eyes under the first cloaked figure glanced at the second figure.A masculine voice sounded from beneath the first figure as they went on. "What are we doing here, Ava?"The second figure, identified to be Ava, seemed not to be bothered by question as she gazed around.She dodged a man in a black mantua as she replied calmly. "Your curiosity will be gone in a moment, Caius."The first figure, Caius sighed and turned his eyes from Ava as they went on, under the scorching sun."Here we are." Ava pulled down her hood as she stopped by a shop in front of which several talisman and lucky cards are displayed. She gestured to Caius as she muttered. "Come in."Caius' eyes glinted with hesitation at first. But at the slight reassuring smile of Ava's, he s
Silence ruled the space. The silence was so much that it would alarm even a god. The space was void. Just plain white and it stretched as far as the eye could see. It was endless, like a whole world. Kylian was standing in the middle of the place, his eyes, normal silvery flashed around in confusion. 'Where am I?' he thought inwardly as he swiveled, constantly, in 360° turns. "You are here, Eleodore!" A voice echoed around the place. It sounded like the union of speakers located at the four corners of the white realm. That's if it has corners and ends. Kylian looked around. 'My real name?' he thought and the confusion on his face overflowed as he desperately searched for the caller. "It's me." The voice came again. Kylian searched around his head for where he had heard the voice before. No one knows his real name. Apart from Heald, Sarai, Mei Li and Benzo, no one else knows his real name. They knew his name only because he told the story of his past to them. No one from his p
Urgency washed through Kylian and his veins pumped hard. He yelled in alarm. "We need to find Christa!" Heald nodded and held Kylian's shoulder as he said, "we know."Kylian's face crumpled. "You know?""Yes." Sarai nodded."She's been taken by Hellsong and you are all here saying you know?!" Kylian snapped. "Do you realize this girl is my soulmate?""It's not that we don't care about your soulmate, Kylian." Heald shook his shoulder slightly, "this is more than you think.""You must have known before that she's going to be used for a sacrifice by a person?" Sarai asked.Kylian nodded."It's not just a person." Sarai added. "It's a vampire.""He's a very powerful vampire." Benzo muttered.Kylian shifted his gaze between them, his eyes utterly filled with confusion.Heald sighed with a deathly expression as he completed. "It's a Vampire Lord. It's a Primordial vampire."********Flashback.1778Florence, Italy.It had been fifty five years since Caius met Ava.He got control of his pow
The MarcabaKylian didn't feel a thing when he heard what Heald said about the person who wanted to use Christa as a sacrifice. He just went numb. His dead heart stopped beating and he felt like he's drowning in water and the pressure is sucking out his life, slow, slow.A Primordial vampire wanted to make use of Christa as a sacrifice. A Primordial vampire?!Those words alone sent shivers down his spine. Every obsession that the soulmate something brought on him all died down as he recounted the words.A Primordial vampire!"Why?" He whispered, the word barely heard."I can explain it all to you, if you would hear me out," Sarai said. Kylian slowly shifted his gaze to hers. The blank expression on his face began to morph and soon became that of perplexity. "Tell me, Sarai.""You were turned by a Skull vampire, do you know that?" Sarai lifted a brow."Yes." Kylian nodded. His eyes fluttered and bitterness shown in it as he added. "Even though I don't know his name."It is such a pit
