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
Victoria came rushing to Gregory’s room and knocked on his door until he opened it. She told him about the accident and looked restless. He told her to relax and then made some calls to erase the video footage or any evidence.Even after Gregory told her everything will be alright, she still couldn’t be at ease. “I shouldn’t have gone out at night. It looked like some figure was following me. I got scared. I couldn’t take my foot off the pedal until I got home.”“What figure are you talking about?”“I don’t know. It was blurry, but would you believe me if I told you the beating of its wings sounded like that of a bat?” she looked at him.Gregory raised his brows. “So, you’re telling me you got scared by a bat.”“No. It’s not a bat. It’s something else,” Victoria stressed her words. “And I wasn’t hallucinating. It felt like this creature had some kind of issue with me.”“You’re thinking too much,” Gregory yawned. “Go to your room and sleep.”“I-I’ll sleep here for tonight.”Gregory was
The next morning.Nobody in the Myers mansion looked okay. Cassey’s face was full of scratches made by the bats. Sofia’s bed was filled with bat poop, which made it smell so bad she puked multiple times. She could never return to her bedroom afterward. And she couldn’t get a proper sleep last night because the bats kept causing nuisance until dawn.As for Gregory and Victoria, they were the ones that were probably affected the most by this incident, not just physically but psychologically.Gregory had tried to beat those bats up with whatever object he could find; however, they ganged up on him and bit on his ears, puncturing it with many holes. The good thing that the doctor said was that in time these holes would fill up and Gregory’s ears would look normal. However, the pain Gregory felt in his swollen ears was still too much to bear. It felt like his whole head grew heavy. He felt terrible. He couldn’t sleep, much less lay down on the bed and move around because his ears got in th
As Charles applied ointment on her abdomen, Sofia grinned, eyes glinting. “How does it feel?”“Feel what?” Charles innocently asked.“The wounds, I mean,” Sofia said, trying to kiss him with her breath. “Do you think they’ll go away with the ointment? I heard that people used to lick other’s wounds before ointments were invented. And that saliva used to do the trick even for some deep scratches.”Charles maintained his poker face with great effort. Did she really just tell him to try and lick her wounds in her own twisted manner?Laughter burst from her lips, catching his gaze in a sweet smile. Normally, butterflies would fill any man’s chest if a woman even a tenth as beautiful as Sofia were to smile like that, but Charles felt sour juices breaking through his intestines.Sofia felt like she was in the middle of a wonderful flower garden right now. If her weight was to be calculated, she would probably only weigh a few flowers! Charles, however, felt the exact opposite way.“Would yo
“What are you doing here?” Both Narika and Charles asked each other at the same time.Why would Narika come to this mansion again after leaving the family?“Don’t tell me… you parents called you because of the bats?” Charles asked, hoping that’s not true.“Yeah. My mom called me and told me what's happening, but I didn’t believe her,” Narika said, “but then she sent me a video recording. I was shocked to see the bats, so I came here as quickly as I could.”“Wait… why does your mother have your mobile number?” Charles asked quickly because he remembered her telling him she wouldn’t even want to talk to her family ever again. “I mean, I’m not saying she can’t have your mobile number, but she might have called you here because she got an opportunity. What if she house-arrests you and pressures you to give the money back?”“I’m not gonna let that happen,” Narika said confidently, taking out a knife hidden in her sleeves. “I’ll keep her away with this knife in case she tries to pressure me
