Each step he takes seems to take a lot out of him. Marcus' opinions were to find somewhere to hide and rest or feed on anyone he came across. Luckily the second choice was easy as 4 men were hugging around an alley.
It was clear that they were thugs just waiting for an opportunity to make money in any way. They have noticed him yet as these men were busy talking among each other and drinking from a bottle.
Marcus carefully moves to intend to attack in Surprise even if he is outnumbered and has been in a fight already. He thought there was more time, but the body says otherwise as taking more steps his legs gav

Ch 77: Extended mouth
That is what Neva said right as repeated the same thing a second time having the left hand now grip itself at the right side of Rosetta's stomach.Resulting in the same way as a piece of vampire flesh taken away once that same hand pulled back, but Neva went for a 3rd time with this same move.Putting herself behind Rosetta not having the moment to breathe when coming under attack the same way again feeling Neva's hands grip into her back.The same again happened just the last time as the 4th time was about to come, but Rosetta grew tired of it when she turned around and had the pointed end of the umbrella meet head-on with Neva's open hand as it stabs through preventing this last attack from happening.

Ch 76: Are you human
That was not so common praise Ronal would make to humans as it could mean he has some level of repeat toward the one himself is facing at the moment. “I take that complacent being the only good thing a vampire like you has to say about me,” Leonor says, having a little laugh about it.“Don’t let that go to your head, I'm still going to kill you and most definitely take pleasure in drinking your blood.”Ronal shows Leonor a wicked smile to make anyone worry or uncomfortable, but that isn’t doing anything to her in fact, she returns one. Her reaction does make him question why it is on that face, but he is careless taking a step forward and nothing of the body moving. It then he understands soon enough that both of his legs are trapped by hands made from shadows under him.

Ch 75: A curse can be turn into a weapon
Marcus takes the chance and sees if he can do further damage having his sword pulled out right as he rises from the ground and performs the next attack.Swing downwards angle where the blade slashes its way from the upper left shoulder all the way across toward the end of the right side of the stomach. Blood came gushing out from the wound made in this vampire's body and at the moment there was no sound of a cry of one in pain or the look on such expression to match.Fetha just has a smile, one to be simple, with nothing sinister behind it whereas Marcus found the look to be unsettling. One would have to be when fighting an enemy who just smiles after getting slashed, either they love pain or they are far stronger than they look.“Please this hurts, but not as much as you think, the level of pain can’t compare to the pain I can give to others,” Fetha says with a bit of mocking in that tone. “This is just starting, give it some….” Marcus's talking gets cut short when feeling a heavy m

Ch 74: A lesson from Rosetta

He takes the chance moving forward fast to impale his sword right into the left shoulder to make sure it went in good and deep through the bone. “Pay attention to the moment now, your life is in danger as well,” Marcus says, twisting the sword at the time. “Why do you little shit think you can get away with hurting me like this.” Fetha's fast kick into the chest had him push back as he had his two feet plated to the ground making sure as well to keep his sword in his hand when it happened. Marcus endured the pain from that kick and kept his stance facing Fetha where she wasn’t too happy with what had happened, but worried not that much of the wound given by him when the healing began right away leaving behind the blood stain and the hole created by his sword. “Very well I see no point to myself not having a weapon of my own with this fight, I shall

Ch 71: Just the distraction
A question that the young Deirdre couldn’t help to ask out loud without a thought that all could have heard her blunt it out.“I can’t tell, but the way his body got all cut up like that, I would say at best maybe, but with him, I got a feeling there is still a fight in him to keep on going,” Abraham says with a little worry in his voice.“He's not dead, there are still sighs inside that body, I mean he's one of us vampires that can’t be killed that easily. Besides I held back unless unfortunately, this one was weak.”Fetha give the answer while watching Marcus working slowly getting back up and turning around to face her, having an agonizing expression on his face.The many cuts received are quite deep from the female vampire bleeding a lot and fast. Lucky to be not human because if one went through such an ordeal then it would be surely impossible for them to even have a life after. “Now!.” is what Marcus yells out which in a second was confusing till the reason he shouted like t

She takes great enjoyment in the part of hurting them, torturing them, breaking parts, and destroying their spirit until they become very mindless pets for such a vampire like her. “The other reason Fetha was picked is because she is going to take her time with this person, making him scream for the longest time, wasting time playing around,” Ronal says, complaining. “Oh yes, if I was to go with you there was no doubt in a matter of time you would have ended the duel where it wouldn’t have been much entertainment.” “Well you speak the truth there sister, but you can’t blame me when I think it just isn't worth the effect.” “That is yet to be seen for the moment, let us just enjoy the show shall we.” The two then go to silence their discussion to watch the duel between Fetha and Marcus going on.
