“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
Akira flew out like a tracer bullet, creating dust in her wake. She was faster than the speed of sound, but the fourteen-foot tall blood wolf was not only able to easily see her movements but was also able to react.The white Blood Wolf that had its mane dyed with animal blood nimbly moved around, dodging from the speedy attacks of Akira. They both moved through the forest at supreme speeds. The wolf used its three eyes to keep track of her, but the wolf sensed that Akira’s speed was only increasing with every passing second.Akira used her wings and feet to launch attacks powerful enough to keep the wolf on a defense mode, but the wolf had been through enough fights, and it wasn’t willing to give up on its home just yet.When Akira threw a kick at her, instead of dodging, the wolf bit on her leg.BAM~!The wolf’s mouth got hurt in the process, but it was still able to firmly grab onto Akira’s leg, and it waved its head and smashed her body to the ground, left and right, repeatedly, d
Akira was momentarily frozen by what she saw, but she was able to dodge the next ice arrow that came at her.She immediately spotted where the arrows were coming from, instead of going toward the target, she ended up kicking the ice boulder into the cave and then stood in front of the entrance of the cave.She released blood energy through her arms, even though her hands still didn’t regenerate.“Keke,” Theron, who was still in hiding, was snickering. “She’s basically asking me to shoot at a standing target. She seemed to have learned Blood Arts, but is she confident enough to stop my freezing arrows when she doesn’t even have hands? She’s just a stupid vampire.Theron was a swordsman. He had no experience with using a bow. Nevertheless, he had a modern bow with him, which helped him automatically shoot arrows by reading his thoughts, though there was a lag of a millisecond between the two.Using this bow, he repeatedly launched arrows that flew in different directions and changed the
Two days later.Carlos woke up in a small cave. He could hear Akira and Angelo talking outside.“I’ve prepared everything. We can leave once he wakes up,” Angelo said. He looked excited because he never left the underground city in decades. He didn’t even know how the outside world looked, except for the movies and dramas he used to see in bars etc.Akira, on the other hand, had regenerated her hands, but she looked weak. Not only had she had to fight monsters that came their way, she also hadn’t eaten anything in over three days, and that took a toll on her body.But the strange thing was that even though she felt weak she didn’t feel hungry or thirsty for blood. This was a familiar feeling for her because she had starved many times before, though she didn’t get to fight when she starved in the past.“I’ll give you some money,” Akira told Angelo. “Stay out of sunlight and only step out during twilight for at least a few months. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear it.”“I’ll keep tha
Angelo was standing at the border, and a horde of monsters suddenly attacked. He, along with other guards, worked hard to defeat the monsters in the front, so the other monsters retreated. Their work wasn’t done yet. Some of these monsters were highly mutated, so their bodies released powerful toxins after death, which if inhaled, even caused hallucinations to vampires. So, the corpses were dismantled and the parts were sent away to different places in the city.Nevertheless, the border where the monster blood was shed had become a land of death. The smell of blood would still come off the earth and affect the guards like a slow drug.Angelo, having breathed that drug for years, was now struggling to sleep because his body craved for something he himself didn’t know of. He couldn’t sleep in the hotel, and he felt hungry in the middle of the night, so he came out into the streets and headed to a spot that Akira had told him to.Along the way, he changed his muscular structure to look l
