She said those words so naturally, moving her magic circles which I now identified as summoning circles."Y-You're insane, master... do you think he can really bear all of us?" I leaned closer to her, the concept of husband was so foreign to me... I guess that's like a mate, but that won't do... we're a family but we're a sort of dysfunctional family that's only together because there is master in the middle.We're all different creatures with different styles and interests, how can we all be together with the same person? I for one would be constantly fighting Meru over Alastor's attention... our fights wouldn't end as we're rivals."You don't need to worry about that, that's something for him to figure out~" Master's trust in Alastor astounds me."What are you doing master?""I'm trying to see if I can summon those girls he's interested in.""Why? wouldn't they be in the way?""Because... that will make him happy... wouldn't it be nice for him to return and find them here?~""Yes...
I decided to completely ignore Mordred’s nonsense and continue on my own accord walking down the shuddering junctions and corners. Perform a massacre? Just to get information?! Vampires might be more frightening entities than I anticipated. If my ‘ancestors’ all followed Mordred’s advice... the past of the curse bearers sounds grim. The streets were empty; not because there were no people, but because they were all avoiding me like the plague. ‘I first need to know what this suit is... gangsters? mafia? murderers, hell even assassins...?’ there is a reason why people fear this outfit and I need to know. If it is going to be a hindrance, then someone needs to die and hand over their clothes to me since I’m not going to walk around bloody naked again. My first destination was one of those 'guilds' that the man called German Crunch talked about. I imagine it is a building of sorts. There were several in the vicinity alongside small shacks and subterranean facilities. I know because st
“Could you tell me a little more about the guild?”“Would you like to register as a member of the guild?~” I always wondered why the girls working as guild assistants are always beauties. “I would, is there any requirement?”“There is, you will need an ID that can certify your allegiance to a kingdom before we can make this procedure…” “…”“But since I already know your story and you have slaughtered these pesky city guards… I guess we can make an exception… but it will cost you, Alastor.”“Hehe~ I don’t mind the cost, are you going to give me an ID afterwards?”“Yes, your power will be accessed and a full ID will be provided by your rank.” “That’s nice.” “Those are two requirements that I can’t miss, Alastor. Your rank and also… full name.” ‘Dammit.’ She had me, but this was an easy predicament to elude. “My-““As you might expect, due to the international nature of the guild we often have customers who fake their identities, therefore… I’ll have to use an Atari to assess whet
Ruphelia is the only ‘friend’ we had in this place.When Ana and I were confused over this entire situation and disgruntled, she was the only one that didn’t come with ‘demands’. According to the apostles, we were supposed to become strong enough to support ‘his majesty’ in his battle against the demons, especially the ‘Western Queen’.For that, we had to go through rigorous courses and training, using magic we didn’t even know we had, starlight magic. “There is the Dagellan Empire to the top of the mainland Starcrest. To the south, there is the Eugenic Kingdom and the Forlon Theocracy, the Harrow community is a group of small kingdoms that don’t want to be subjected to either the Starlight Empire or the Dagellan Empire.” Ruphelia was steadfast in teaching us about this word, saying that the heroes and saintesses were summoned only in times of crisis and that the last time was perhaps a few thousand years ago. “The last hero to be summoned was a beautiful silver dragon from a fara
The explosion engulfed the skies, what sort of power Ruphelia was using was beyond me, but it was clear she used it to protect us. She could have done that explosion the very instant of contact, but instead, she decided to produce a wave that crashed against the demon and sent it far away from the palace, towards the skies and beyond, exploding devastatingly and creating a 'sun' in the middle of the night. It was evident to the entire capital that the main church was now being attacked, but that wasn't the only thing.The shockwave produced was gigantic enough to spread across space and 'erase' something that had been concealing the main events from us.With a flutter, that barrier got decimated and revealed to us the reality of the situation. We - two powerless 'saints' were engulfed amidst a titanic battle that could only compare to those movies of fighting monsters that we used to see back in the states, except this time it is real."T-Teacher..." Barbara's voice was stuttery with
“I may have to get involved, Zaforia…” His words were as subtle as a quiet pool of sacred water, intentions… as wicked as the strongest demon in existence. Even Zaforia couldn’t help but frown at his words, the reason they were flying high above, uninvolved, was because if they were to fight in here… no city would remain. For Zaforia, William’s presence meant that if she made a move, her avatar would be no more, a small part of her soul was not enough to defeat the Starlight Emperor. For William, Zaforia’s presence meant this city was at risk of being destroyed if she engaged, to obliterate this humongous capital, her avatar was enough, he could destroy it after a tough battle, but not prevent it from destroying the city with the infamous toxic abyss.Their existence in the same place was a deadlock, Zaforia knew exactly what she was doing, saving Alastor’s girls from this place wasn’t an easy feat. In the end, she lay down her words wisely. “What? are you going to slaughter your
“Alastor, it is time for your first mission.”“Eh?”The Vampire was laying down after finally getting a wisp of rest, thinking about his next movements while contemplating the wooden ceiling of this inn, it was then when from the darkness a silhouette he knew well materialised.The room was lit up barely by a single candle.Zaforia von Fargas appeared, leaning against a wall, her countenance serious; something odd thought Alastor.“I need you to head back to the castle and help Limu with something. Head back to the region.” She declared her commandment, an order from his master.Alastor sighed in discouragement; he was just about the get a feel of what being an adventurer felt like and all of a sudden his master’s avatar popped up in the room; destroying all his plans.That said, he couldn't decline this mission moreover, accepting this mission could also lead to possible 'favours' which he couldn't help but smirk about.'I'd ask a 'favour' out of big sister Lisha though~'For a momen
"Being an immortal can kinda suck… you know.""…""Most of the time you get no one to speak to, no one can really understand your pain." I said to the skull in front of me as if it could answer, today was one of these days that I didn't like being a hungry nightwalker.[Congratulations, host.][Quest: Suck twenty litres of blood in a single night, completed][Reward: A thousand mutagen points.][50% away from the system's upgrade, keep working hard in bringing desolation to this reality.]"Ah... sure." I said... this voice in my head was as nefarious as always, I already got used to it, like a mad scientist that proclaims glory for his evil deeds, such as stealing a loli from a sad kid. And don't get me wrong, depending on what follows that can be extremely evil.My sight moved once again to my companion."I'm sorry that you have gone through this, but… I realised that eating the entire corpse translates to more blood, moreover." I apologised to my little friend here, only a skull and
