“He’s dead?” the goblins’ jaws dropped and eyes bulged like tube bulbs. “How’s this possible?”“Bahaha,” the orcs, however, laughed boisterously. “His opponent is a vampire, so this result was long set in stone!”Jiren, however, didn’t look happy. (An afterimage? No wonder I didn’t feel like I cut through a body.) His brows knitted together as his eyes began to desperately look everywhere. He swiveled, and all he saw was a giant fist that had blocked his vision.BAM~!A solid punch to the face sent Jiren down, rolling to the edge of the floor, stupefying everyone.Standing at the center of the stage, Shadow cracked his knuckles and was grinning, as if he was enjoying this. “C’mon!” he raised both of his arms and shouted in excitement, and the goblins responded by cheering and whistling for him. Some of them even started playing the flute. All this insulted the orcs for sure, but the vampires even more so. The vampires in the audience cast an annoying glance at the goblins and shut the

There were three laboratories in the moonless kingdom built for different purposes. One was for concept & design, one was for trial and testing, and the other was for production. All the labs had large prisons built under them. All these labs were not accessible for the general public.The trial & testing laboratory was where most of the slaves were kept. And this was also the laboratory that was the least accessible even among the higher ups in the kingdom.One must be a knight and must receive permission from the palace to even be allowed entrance into any of these laboratories. Anybody who entered without permission would be severely punished, even if they were the vampire knights themselves.Bob the Spongehead was talking with the number 4 and number 5 of the vampire knights that were imprisoned and punished and tested on to this day.“I’ll send you two out, but on one condition,” Bob told them. “You should work together with the top three in case the green orcs that are roaming i

Edward’s attack was the same as the one that his brother Jiren had used against Shadow; however, it was tens of times stronger and faster. It didn’t even take a hundredth of second for the attack to be sent at the three green orcs.The vampire who was kneeling before Edward couldn’t even see the attack coming. His body was sliced from top to bottom, and he died on the spot.Rye flashed behind Edward. He swiveled to his right and slashed his hand horizontally. A red bloody projectile slash unleashed out of his arm and almost sliced Rye’s neck off.Rye ducked in time.Before Edward fully balanced himself, his left leg diagonally axed up from bottom left. He should have cleaved through Rye’s body, but again, he couldn’t even touch her body. His leg cleaved nothing but air before releasing a projected slash that sliced the house walls in half.“What?” Edward quickly looked around because Rye had slipped out of her sight. Now, he couldn’t spot her anywhere. He was someone who could see a b

Before the overseer finished saying the word ‘start,’ Edward threw a punch. The punch was faster than sound itself and sent a shockwave that blasted the overseer away before moving onto Shadow in a nanosecond.Shadow kicked up and created another shockwave to deflect the incoming wave of energy and sent it flying up.The energy was so strong it reached the clouds and pierced a tunnel through stacks of clouds.The ears of many orcs and goblins bled, while their eyes looked at the sky in disbelief. Their instincts told them to run away from there if they wanted to keep their lives. Could a mere stage withstand a serious fight of those at a vampire knight’s level? Definitely not.However, before they could even stand from their seats, Edward and Shadow had vanished from their sight. All they could hear were thunderous noises that shattered their eardrums as the two mighty warriors clashed with their fists. Even clamping their hands against their ears didn’t help much. Some passed out ver

Rye, Mina, and Dahlia were not far from the trial & test laboratory, which was quite heavily guarded.The words ‘silence is golden’ had worked well for them whenever some vampire passersby questioningly looked at them.Upon observing the surroundings for a while, they could see layers upon layers of protection so that nobody could infiltrate successfully. At the same time, the vampires also greatly underestimated the green orcs. Most of these vampires didn’t even consider them worthy of their attention, which served them well.“Do you really think they’re creating clones in this base?” Dahlia wondered.“If they don’t do it here, that means there are multiple bases,” Mina didn’t like the idea of it. Finding about this base itself wasn’t easy, after all.“Even if they have a hundred bases, we have to destroy them all,” Rye’s resolve overflowed through her words and motivated Dahlia.“Well, with your ability, it’s possible to destroy multiple bases in a quick time,” Mina opined. “But the

A minute earlier.A couple of the guards stationed outside the trial and testing laboratory were betting on Goliath and Cain.“Goliath is stronger than Cain. That’s why he’s ranked four!”“Bullshit. Cain didn’t focus on the rankings, or he would have easily moved Goliath out of his place.”“I don’t think so.”“Just because you don’t think so, it doesn’t mean that’s the truth.”“Huh?”As they argued, two people walked past them casually, startling them, for these two people were Goliath and Cain. Seeing how they weren’t in shackles, the guards realized that these two vampire knights were released. The guards shut their mouths and got down on one knee until Goliath and Cain were no longer within earshot.Goliath and Cain were strolling down the street.“Let’s have a match soon. Whoever wins can have Jezz all for himself,” Cain suggested.“I was thinking the same,” Goliath agreed. “Don’t hold resentment toward me after you lose.”“Keke, you bastard… What do you know?” Cain blurted. “Jez

An adult man in his fifties was teaching a bunch of lab-grown kids in the laboratory. He had the number 100 tattooed on the side of his forehead because he was a vampire knight ranked 100. He was Oliver Nodester who was known as the Gatekeeper of Knights because he wouldn’t allow just anyone to enter the rank of knights. Even though he was ranked 100, his strength was considered to be in the top ten.“Teacher, since the sun is bad for us, why don’t we destroy it?” a student asked.“The sun may not be beneficial for us, but the humans that we need depend on it,” Oliver patiently explained to the kids under purple lights. “Snails can’t survive in the sun, but they love roaming in the grass that needs sunlight to thrive. Snails seek shelter from the sun using the very grass that can keep them from drying out due to the hot winds. In the same way, we use humans that thrive in the sun. Otherwise, we would have done everything we can to cover the sky with the clouds so that the light never

Even though Oliver’s swing had destroyed the walls, he didn’t feel any solid impact with his hammer. To his great surprise, what the hammer struck was Rye’s afterimage. “What?” Oliver was startled. But what bothered him even more was that he couldn’t find a trace of her. “Where did the damn orc go? To think he managed to slip out of my senses… What sort of movement technique did they use?” He was someone who took pride in his senses, and so he found Rye’s move greatly perplexing. “Or was it some sort of a spirit?”He suddenly felt wind blowing behind him. He swiveled and waved his hammer, spinning the handle in his palm. His arm swing this time twisted and created a vortex of wind that destroyed many rooms in its path. But again, the hammer itself didn’t contact anything.But then, something struck his back so hard he was blown off his feet. “Bwuh!” he coughed blood, but he bounced off of a single hand, flipped in midair and managed to land on his feet. He looked around, but he couldn

Soon after Rye’s ‘Void Fist’ destroyed the cerberus, many beast robots surrounded her. While she dealt with them, Oliver escaped.Rye took only a couple of seconds to deal with the beast robots. If she were to look for Oliver, she could still find him, but her priority wasn’t killing the strong vampires, so she quickly explored the lab.And she couldn’t believe what she saw.There were little babies and young boys and girls all torn to pieces with heads chopped off, and arms, legs, and body parts thrown everywhere.Rye ended up puking. She had never seen something like this before. Many rooms were full of blood and gore of the innocent. Not tens or hundreds but thousands upon thousands of infants as well teenagers. If it was possible, she wouldn’t want to witness something like this ever again. It made her want to cry, but it also made her want to utterly destroy everyone who was involved in this.While she was boiling and burning with anger, she stumbled into a room full of vampire c

Bob’s head was flying before he knew what was happening.Rye caught the head. “Tell them to leave this hall, or I’ll kill you.”“L-Leave!” Bob immediately ordered the robots and the clones, and they listened to his orders. “I-I did what you asked for. Now, let me go. I’ll leave quietly.”“I’m not letting you go until I get what I want,” Rye carried his head in her hand and walked around the lab. She had no plans on letting him go, though. “Tell me everything about the labs in this kingdom. If you lie, I’ll know, so you better be telling the truth.”Rye’s voice wasn’t threatening, but Bob found himself trembling. As the blood was leaving his decapitated head, he was finding it difficult to speak freely, but he still answered her questions.Rye stopped in front of a glass chamber inside which there was a garden. “What’s this?” she asked.“It’s where we test the gasses to see how the plants develop and how the bees and butterflies react,” Bob obediently answered. “This was where we first
