The explosion died off in a minute, but the clouds of dust were still everywhere in the sky.Abbie was standing still. She slightly turned her head and looked over her shoulder.Ulmer was standing right behind her, both of them in the middle of a giant crater.“Haha, you made me look completely stupid,” Abbie chortled while covering her eyes from the sunlight. “Now, I’m sure. You can just teleport yourself to different places, can’t you?”Ulmer was just seriously watching her.Vampires, as far as he knew, were cold-blooded. So, they should be reaping benefits from the sun. Yet, why do they not like the sun? What made them feel threatened by the sun? “Sun heals our bodies. Human and animal bodies, I mean. But your vampires don’t seem to fit into both categories. In return for your vampiric powers, you seem to have lost the blessing of the sun that God has given to all beings that live on earth. Is this the curse you ‘monsters’ got for messing with your DNA?”Abbie slightly frowned. “I
In Bronich city.Rick Orsini was in his penthouse, watching a live feed on a projector screen which was showing Richard's house.“How many people have gone after him so far?” Rick asked.“18 people as far as we know,” Rick’s right-hand-man, Lexor, said. He was a blind man who could still make out the world in a different sense by reading the energies. Wearing a suit, he looked like a professional businessman. “But I believe that the number could be as much as a hundred.”“And all of them are dead or defeated?” Rick queried.“All the snipers are found dead. It seems a few shadow reapers died a few minutes ago from what we gathered,” Lexor replied. They were using a frequency technology to read all the sounds coming from that region, so they could somewhat understand what was going on inside the cube-like barrier until it was broken. “And then he fought the Frankfurt vampire group.”“The crazy Frankfurt group, huh…” Rick frowned. “They may be living on a lower level compared to the shad
Abbie relentlessly attacked with her claws, which didn’t just hurt Ulmer physically but even both mentally and emotionally.The wounds she gave made it all the more difficult for Ulmer to maintain his focus on a basic level.What’s more, Ulmer could see his skin and flesh peeling off and getting sucked toward her in the form of energy, and Ulmer couldn’t resist it.This forced Ulmer to use spiritual energy to heal himself and resist her tantric energy.Seeing Ulmer fight back made Abbie all the more excited, and she got even faster and stronger.“This is your trump card, ain’t it?” Abbie kept taunting him, while feeding off of his emotions without him knowing. “How much longer can you hold on? It’s still not too late to fall to your knees and beg.”While he was getting weaker, she was getting stronger. Her strength, speed, healing, and senses were all being improved.Ulmer understood that, but he didn’t look discomforted. This began to affect Abbie as time passed.She could get strong
Nirvana used her dark energy to repeatedly drill a hole through the hemispherical aerial barrier from the topmost region.Even though she was managing to put a hole through a couple of layers, she had to take a few seconds of break, and in this time, the lost layers kept refilling.Nirvana grew utterly frustrated, though she did not wear her emotions on her face. “How the hell did he create this type of a barrier? It’s as if this barrier is taking energy from the air around. It’s stretchy, yet durable. I have never seen anything like this before.”Just then, she felt a presence behind her. She swiveled back and saw a man with black eyes floating in the air next to her.“You are… Phantom Killer!” Nirvana’s eyes slightly widened because he was one of the top most assassins in the underworld. “Are you here for the bounty as well?”Black liquid released from his eyes and fell as droplets on the barrier and self-replicated and grew into drill bits and began to repeatedly put holes through
“Nirvana seems to have left, sir,” Lexor was talking to Rick Orsini on mobile. “She refused to talk about anything.”“What? She entered through the barrier, didn’t she? Did she grab any hostages?” Rick asked.“She was alone,” Lexor said. “Some of our men also entered the barrier just a minute back, but what’s confusing is that someone is currently fighting our men inside the barrier.”“Yeah,” Rick was grinding his teeth. “That guy is the Phantom Killer.”Lexor was startled. “Isn’t he an assassin? Why is he protecting our target?”“If you who’s at the scene doesn’t have a clue, then how the fuck I who’s watching it on screen would know?” Rick growled.“S-Sorry, sir. I’ll quickly get some information on him,” Lexor said and ended the call.“Why did Nirvana leave?” Rick was growing restless. “Why is Phantom Killer protecting that bastard Ulmer? What the hell happened in a matter of a few minutes?”The next morning.It was peaceful in the neighborhood where Ross’ house was. There were no
Abbie got bored from watching the news. She went to another room where Mollie was playing snake and ladders with Calvin and Fiona. Ulmer was also playing with them. They were all laughing and were very engaged with the game.“Why are they so excited about such a simple game?” Abbie thought.Mollie looked at Abbie. “How about you join us, Abbie?”“Me? N-No thanks,” Abbie went and sat on the couch, drinking ice tea. “This tea…” She looked at Ulmer and sent him a mental message, “Are you letting your people drink this iced tea?”“Why are you asking?” Ulmer asked her back in a similar fashion.“This is a caramel flavor, but I can feel fluoride in it,” Abbie said. “It won’t do anything to me, but for humans, this is harmful. It will affect their brain.”“Is that so?” Ulmer wasn’t expecting her to say something like this. Was she trying to be a good girl now that he had put a spiritual seal on her heart?“In the past, the Germans used the fluoride to keep people in the concentration camps d
Abbie was used to hearing people speaking to her with a mix of fear and reverence, but now, in Ross’ house, they were treating her differently.There was one batch-Jessica, Kristi, and Jude-who didn’t treat her well. She had already marked them as a target to eliminate because they didn’t know their place. She thought Ulmer would also not mind her killing those people.Then, there was another batch, which included everyone else in the house who treated Abbie nicely.She was a beautiful and dangerous woman whose very existence had been cursed by time. Being bred and raised by vampires, she naturally embodied the very essence of night.She had regarded humans as frail, ignorant, stupid, and oblivious creatures who knew not the reality of the situation the world they lived in. From the shape of the earth to the history and identity of the people that ruled them for centuries, they cared about nothing. They were hapless beings distracted by mortality and pleasures of flesh—lost in fleeti
Amelie tried to help Abbie, but Abbie pushed her away.Amelie was very shocked and confused by that.Abbie gathered her strength and quickly walked away. Amelie looked a bit bewildered.“Did I do something wrong?” Amelie wondered. “I was only laughing at her jokes, and then she suddenly collapsed as if she forgot how to stand. So, why did she push me like I’m someone she hates?”Amelie couldn’t get her head around it. Luckily, Ulmer just got to the rooftop, so she stayed there so she could talk to him.“Is everything okay with Abbie’s health?” she asked him.“Why? What happened?” Ulmer quickly asked. “Did she say something to you?”“No, I was just wondering that she might be sick,” Amelie said. “But ladies have some issues they can’t talk about, so it’s not surprising that you don’t seem to know about it. However, keep an eye on her so if things get a bit serious, then you can take her to the hospital.”“I’ll keep that in mind,” Ulmer nodded. “But, you seem to be mistaken about someth
