At midnight.Felix and a group of silverbloods in silverhoods were all waiting on the rooftop about a mile away from Ross’ estate.“It’s a see-through barrier, but what we’re seeing is not what’s happening inside,” the leader of the silverbloods, Silver Prince, was speaking. “It’s just an illusion created to fool the public. So, we have no way of knowing what’s actually happening right now.”“Tsk,” Felix looked annoyed. “I wanted to see my daughter if possible, but now, there’s no way of knowing what’s going on. What’s her situation right now? Is she in pain? I can’t just be here and do nothing but observe. This is one troublesome task they have given me. If I’m not patient, I might lose my daughter. But if I don’t hurry up, then I could lose my daughter, too.”“That’s why Claudia sent you on this mission,” Silver Prince said. “Once we see an opportunity, we’ll take it with both hands. Until then, let’s just watch.” He ordered his group to spread out and observe other parties.“That b
Amelie woke up at night because she had to go to the toilet. After finishing the excretion, she came to the refrigerator in the hall to grab some cool water.When she opened the fridge, she cried out in horror because Abbie was sitting in the fridge.Amelie’s cry did not wake up anybody because Ulmer had put barriers in every room so that the outside noises wouldn’t wake them up.“W-What are you doing in the fridge?” Amelie asked in shock.“It was cold here, so I wanted to sleep here,” Abbie replied.“Y-You wanted to sleep in the fridge? A-Are you right in the head?” Amelie pulled her out. Abbie’s body was quite cold, which made Amelie wonder, (Just how long was she in the fridge? This is crazy! What if she died in there?) “You should start exercising and warm your body up. Let me also heat some water for you.”“No need. I’m fine. I’m used to sleeping in cold places, so this is nothing for me,” Abbie casually went to the couch and sat there, grabbed a bunch of grapes and chewed on the
Ulmer was coming down from the rooftop.“You didn’t sleep yet?” Amelie asked him.“I have some things to deal with, so I can’t sleep yet,” he replied. “What are you two doing here? Having a ladies’ talk?”“You won’t believe me, but I opened the fridge for a water bottle, and I found Abbie sleeping inside!” Amelie said, startling Ulmer. “For a second, my heart dropped. I thought someone killed her and shoved her in the refrigerator. But then she woke up and said she liked sleeping there! Can you believe that? You should take her to a doctor and a psychiatrist.”Ulmer looked at Abbie. “Why the hell are you sleeping in a fridge?”“I-I…” Abbie’s heart picked up speed. A vampire’s heart usually beats slower than a human’s heart, and it wouldn’t easily pick up speed unless they were quite nervous.“Was the fridge cold enough, or do you need me to buy you a deep freezer?” Ulmer asked.A second of silence passed.“Ulmer!” Amelie raised her voice. “This isn’t the time for jokes! I was being s
A shirtless man, wearing a single piece of cloth that covered his body from waist and below was walking in the middle of a street, carrying two extremely slim and long spears.He had a long ponytail, and his ten packs were visible even with poor lighting of the night.There were no people on the streets, because it was one o’clock at night, but the cats and dogs that saw him began to run away silently. Even the street dogs didn’t dare shout at him because they felt nothing but danger from him.Felix’s group and the Dark Monarch’s group saw him and recognized him.“That’s the Skull Reaper. A warrior from the east. It will be interesting to see how he’ll get through the barrier,” Felix said.A police car just happened to be passing by. They couldn’t help but notice this lone man walking with two spears that were easily ten feet long.They stopped the car, and the two police stepped out with guns in their hands. “What are you doing at this hour, buddy? Why don’t you put those long-ass th
A minute earlier.Phantom Killer and Lexor were having a discussion.“How can you see when you’re blind?” Phantom Killer curiously asked. “Even our technology is not good enough to make a blind man see. So, how are you doing it?”“I mastered a martial art which helps me read the energies around me,” Lexor replied. “It also helps me see vague figures. So, I know what I’m seeing. I can walk the road or do the daily tasks just like any other human as I’m used to doing it now.”“To think martial arts can pull off such a thing…” Phantom Killer was impressed. “It’s really surprising. I guess they don’t do all the crazy shit with martial arts in the movies for no reason. The legends of the old times must have been passed down in their literature one way or another. I always thought martial arts was bullshit, and that if you try to get into the spiritual path, you’d just open doors to demons.”“That will happen if you’re not careful,” Lexor calmly explained. “As long as you keep it physical,
“The spear went in through, but nothing happened,” Silver Prince wondered. “It seems it’s stopped.”“The Dark Monarch isn’t moving, either, so let’s just watch,” Felix said.Meanwhile, Ulmer pulled the spear out in the first attempt. “I haven’t seen this long and thin before. It resembles a hummingbird’s beak. I’ll be back soon, guys, so wait here.”Ulmer then walked out through the barrier.Skull Reaper saw Ulmer holding his spear and frowned slightly. He started walking forward, too.“So, that guy is Ulmer, huh…” The Dark Monarch grinned. “How nice of him to come out of the barrier. This makes things easier for me.”A few bullets came flying from a distance, sent by unknown people, but Ulmer deflected them all with the spear.“Who thinks they can kill me with bullets?” Ulmer stated. “I’m too strong for that.”“Certainly,” Skull Reaper agreed. “But there are always fools on the battlefield who don’t know their place. They will struggle like worms, trying to get a little bit of fame,
In a desolated ice continent far from the populated human world, Ulmer and Skull Reaper were facing each other.The temperature was lower than negative hundred celsius. There was no sun or moon in the sky. Only darkness.It wasn’t pitch black darkness, but there was just enough light for these two to see each other, as would beasts see at night.It’s been a couple of minutes, but neither of them moved.Normal humans would have already been suffering from severe hypothermia, but these two showed no signs of such symptoms.A lot of thoughts were still running through Skull Reaper’s mind. His body kept releasing heat to bear with the cold all around him. He wasn’t even wearing any shirt, but he didn’t seem bothered by the cold.Still holding his spear, he kept staring coldly at Ulmer. His gaze was colder than the cold of this continent.“You are certainly strong,” Ulmer, on the other hand, looked calm and positive. “But you don’t have any chance of beating me.” He tossed the spear toward
A few minutes after Felix had sent his vein-worm, he frowned. “It’s dead.”“Dead?” Silver Prince sighed. “Are you sure?”“Yeah. But I think the worm met my daughter right before it died,” Felix replied.“Maybe she was hungry and ended up eating the worm?”“Fool, she’s not a newbie. She’s a pureblood. Even though she’s not good at controlling herself, she’s still a pureblood,” Felix’s voice contained a hint of pride. “I think that punk Ulmer probably killed it. Or he might have forced my daughter to kill it.”“Seeing how he held her hostage, I think the chances of it being the second case are high. It was pretty smart of him to tie the vampires’ hands by taking one pureblood hostage,” Silver Prince laughed a little. “A pureblood is worth a lot. But to be frank, your daughter is not worth a trillion dollars.”Felix’s gaze turned cold. The air and the rooftop beneath him cracked.“I-I was just joking, Brother,” Silver Prince laughed a bit nervously.“A medic like you shouldn’t put value
