In Vril’s tower.The guard in the silver armor hurriedly entered the hall and kneeled before Vril. “Lord, the six great families are not able to stop him. Iblis Beast is dead. Roven ran away. The zombified humans who couldn’t fly were ineffective against the intruder who could fly. Low-level vampires are also utterly useless against him. In fact, he’s strengthening himself using his blood. So, I think it’s best that you send only the strong vampires after him.”“Many members of the six great families are not here right now,” Vril said. “My children aren’t here, either. That’s a bummer. If even Iblis couldn’t stop him, I think he’s grown strong enough to the point that most life leechers wouldn’t even be able to face him.”“From what I heard, Iblis was fighting well, Lord. However, the blood in his belly expanded, and he blew up into bits,” the guard explained, keeping his head low. His eyes were glowing red, for he was a blood sucker created by Vril himself almost a decade ago.“His c
Samael Mort Breaker, the new king of vampires, the one who was arguably the strongest vampire alive in the world, was the one that had turned Akira into a vampire many years ago.It all started when Akira attracted the attention of Samael who was also known as the Handsome Devil.Akira was one of the girls that was kidnapped. Along with forty other girls around her age, they were brought to Shambol city.All the girls were auctioned in the Breaker family’s house. No girl had enough heart to open her mouth during the auction. Everyone was terrified from seeing the vampires, drooling at them, not at all hiding their evil intentions.One of the girls even stole a knife and tried to kill herself. The vampires didn’t even stop her and watched stab herself, and when she was on the verge of death, Akira ran over to that girl and begged the vampires to save her. She tried to close the wounds and save the girl if possible. Eventually, the vampires pushed Akira away and turned the dying girl in
Setting someone on fire with their gaze? What Samael had done with his gaze alone was something that neither Akira nor Carlos had seen a vampire do.It was no ordinary fire because it managed to burn every bit of Revon’s body, leaving nothing but ashes behind.“You came here by yourself and made things easier for me,” Samael said, smirking, and then raised his hand. Carlos’ body was pulled toward Samael against his will.“Kugh,” Carlos resisted with all his might and managed to stand firm on the floor. To add to that, he released a burst of energy that freed himself from the mental pressure that Samael had tried to put on him.Allegra was surprised, but she stepped forward.“Stop,” Vril told her, freezing her in her steps. In a flash, Vril appeared behind Carlos.Carlos’ eyes were barely able to track Vril’s movements. And so he glanced over his shoulder.“I don’t want blood to be shed in my castle,” Vril said. “It is unfortunate that Revon died, but…” he looked straight at Samael. “I
Poker was a game of bluffing as best as possible in order to trick your opponent while heading toward our victory as fast as possible. Nevertheless, the key was to draw the cards that would add to one’s hand.Samael let Allegra pick the cards, showing his confidence and trust in her and at the same time challenging Carlos if he could do the same with Akira.“Every player is a master of his own fate,” Akira responded telepathically with what Carlos believed was the perfect answer. “We’re not dogs to imitate what the masters do.”Her response was like a mental slap to Allegra. Instead of retorting Akira with another sentence, Allegra focused on the game instead.Traditionally, poker was a single pack game of 52 cards, but now an extra poker was being used just to speed up the game a little bit.The difficulty of the game not only depended on the opponent but also the dealer. Vril, who was playing the role of the dealer, magnificently shuffled the cards at a speed that the shuffling alon
“Stop, Allegra!” Samael yelled, but Allegra still jumped at Allegra.However, before she could get there, Carlos shot a ray of blood through this forefinger. It pierced through her shoulder and stopped her on the table.“How dare you attack me!” She forcibly pushed herself through the ray of blood and kicked at Carlos.Akira caught her foot and viciously threw her away to the side.Allegra spun and landed on her feet. She bared her fangs at both of them in hatred.“It is over,” Vril smashed the table and destroyed it into pieces. “There’s no point in playing poker if all you want to is fist-fight. Currently, it is Charles who has the most money, so I declare him to be the winner of the table.”“What?” Samael coldly glanced at Vril.“If you want to blame, then blame your bae,” replied Vril, rather indifferently.“That means we are free to leave, right?” Carlos asked.“Of course. I was entertained, so I will overlook the crimes you’ve done in my territory for this once,” Vril said. “Bro
Akira and Carlos reached the border of the inner city, and Akira stopped by to meet the old border guard Angelo whom she owed, for he had helped in her escape the last time.“We are leaving. Do you want to come with us?” she asked him.Angelo remembered Carlos’ face. “H-He’s the one who fought the head of the Zones family. H-He’s not the one you brought along.”“Both are the same. He was just wearing a mask, that’s all,” Akira explained.“Ah, so that’s how it was,” Angelo’s eyes still stayed wide awake. As he looked at Carlos, he saw that his skin was gaining redness. “He’s not healthy.”“Mm? What are you talking about?” Akira wondered.Angelo came closer and sniffed Carlos and then licked his hand.“What the hell are you doing, old man?” Carlos growled.Angelo’s eyes glew brown. The veins on his face grew thick as he bore the pain. “As I thought… your blood is highly corrupted now. Just by licking you, I felt the poison worsen my blood.” He put his tongue out, and it turned bluish bl
“It fucking stinks here,” Cinderella entered through the door, with her nose shut. “God, who lives in this shit hole?” She looked at Angelo. “Must be you.” She flicked her finger and sent a bullet of blood that struck Angelo’s forehead and left a big hole in it.Angelo instantly passed out and collapsed.Akira stood frozen for a second because she thought that Angelo might have had something to do with Cinderella coming here, but it turned out that Angelo wasn’t lying because Carlos’ skin color was returning to normal.“Akira…” Cinderella shut the door and then started breathing freely. “You have no idea how pissed off I was when you stole my Nightmare cloak and ran away. I gave the cloak to your master only temporarily. It never belonged to him, so how could you just take it and leave? Stealing others’ things is a very bad habit. Don’t you know that?”“W-What do you want? This cloak?” Akira began to sweat, which caught Cinderella’s attention.“You need to be punished for your wrongdo
Deep in the Outer city of Shambol where the beasts ruled the zone, Akira was hiding inside the giant cave-like hole made in a rather huge tree. It was the home of a predator, but as long as the predator was out, they could stay here, and she thought that the home of a predator would keep other predators away. So she chose to rest here since there was enough room to even walk around.What she didn’t know however was that Theron had followed her. “I’ve never come this deep into the woods, and the place she’s hiding is where the Blood Wolf resides. It is one of the top monsters in this forest that even the leaders of the great families avoid. How stupid she must be for her to pick that place for a hideout.”If not for the risk of alerting other beasts around, Theron would have already attacked Akira because she was at a vulnerable moment with her hands destroyed, and while the two men with her were still unconscious. However, he still couldn’t act rashly because it was the home of the Bl
