Goliath didn’t even need to use his life-leeching powers against the mysterious female vampire because he could tell that she was weaker than him.However, she was very good when it comes to using the movement skill Vapor Walk. This skill was best used by the blood-sucking vampires, where they would dope up their own blood, which allowed them to travel at extreme speeds, leaving nothing but fleeting vaporous traces.This skill was learned only by specific vampires even in the moonless kingdom, and the only knight who learned this skill was the second-ranked knight, Molly Swan.However, there was a clear distinction between Molly’s usage and this female vampire’s usage. Molly predominantly used that skill to attack and overwhelm the opponent, but this woman was doing the opposite.So, Goliath was having a hard time to properly land a solid hit. Nevertheless, he was still fast enough to keep her on the defense.“I don’t know who taught you Vapor Walk, but I can definitely tell that you d
Akira’s needle attack woke Goliath up at once. Even though he could see and feel everything, he couldn’t move. It wasn’t that his body was frozen, but it was just under the control of Akira now.“You…” Goliath looked shocked. He couldn’t even speak unless Akira allowed him to. “This is like the Brain Dominating Art of the purebloods. How do you know this art? You’re definitely not a pureblood.”“The one who turned me against my will has taught me a few things,” Akira replied because she wanted Dahlia to know. “Now, if you answer my questions, I’ll leave you with your life intact.”Goliath wanted to send a signal outside, but he couldn’t. Even his thought process couldn’t go against Akira’s will now. He gritted his teeth. “Ask away. As long as you promise not to kill me, I’ll answer your questions.”Akira nodded and looked at Dahlia. “You ask first. I’ll ask him at the back end.”Dahlia was pleasantly surprised. “Thank you.” She then asked Goliath without any reservations. “Can you tak
In the backyard of a particular house, an old vampire maid with a long white braid was thrashing the goblins with her braid as they were doing a poor job of wetting the soil with blood and putting the blood worms into the earth.Blood worms ate the dead and decayed matter and enriched the soil into bringing out the best out of the trees and even giving a bloody flavor to the fruits and leafy greens.A one-eyed goblin was begging the maid by groveling behind her, “Mistress, please give me three days leave. My wife would have given birth by now. I need to go home and see her and my newborn child. I will come back in three days even if the rivers run dry.”The maid had already told her to keep working, but he wasn’t listening to her. “Do you see others asking for special permission?” she growled. “You are only given one week every year. That’s all. If you need your job, you fall in line. If you don’t want it, you can leave anytime you want.”The goblin, however, began crying because he k
Rye’s feet stopped, and she glanced over her shoulder. “Who’s Sasha?”“His wife,” Bob replied. “He brought her while coming back from the outside world. In fact, he’s the one who also brought the sovereign's wife here, so he’s one of the main reasons why the Sovereign is locked up in this kingdom.”Rye’s blood picked up speed pretty fast. “He did what?” she clenched her fist. The wind began to swirl around her, and the pressure grew so strong, the thick metal cages bent away from her as if the space itself was distorting around her.Most of the prisoners that were talking badly about Rye were blown back into the walls and got knocked out of their senses. Those that were still standing had utterly baffled looks playing on their visages, having no clue what just happened. And they dared not utter another word; good or bad.Bob looked particularly stunned. (Did she just release her spiritual power? Just an angry thought released so much energy out of her. I knew she was strong, but not t
While Cranston and Denise were fighting with blades of grass just to pass time, Zakaria caught a squirrel and let it go only to capture it again soon after it started to run away.Zakaria repeated this enough times to make the squirrel just give up on running away. Even when he let go of it, it didn’t flee but stayed there.In the background, Shadow was fighting yawns, and he lightly slapped himself a couple of times. “Don’t sleep, you idiot,” he scolded himself. “If you snooze in an enemy's territory, you won’t be able to defend yourself when they come at us, and your head will fly. You can’t ever let that happen. You must see your lord and bring him home. Don’t relax your spine until then.”The purple lights in the garden were eerie to look at, and the darkness all around didn’t help him keep his eyes open, either. He felt like sleeping, but he couldn’t. His body was tired because he hadn’t slept in a while, but he wasn’t in a position to listen to such selfish requests. The best he
Zakaria and Cranston were in too much of a rush to listen to Denise’s words. “Your death is certain!”Both of them unsealed the power of the tattoo in their hand, which enhanced their speed and power twice as much with the help of borrowed lightning.“Hallowed Heavenly Thunder Claw!”They didn’t care about injuring their surroundings and unleashed a powerful swiping attack, aiming to tear through the opponent’s body.And they thought they had their man.However it was their heads that were sent flying with a sweep of Greenie’s arm. That didn’t kill the vampires, but it made a statement that this powerful vampire duo was not a match to the green orc before them.While the vampire maid was surprised by the result, Denise wasn’t.The vampire maid could see that Denise wasn’t attacking the orc anymore. (I was planning to put the orc under the guillotine after he loses and make a statement to the other orcs, but I didn’t expect the orc to be this strong. Just what did this freak drink for
Wearing a poker face while slowly chewing poppy seeds, a pale man in black clothes with two curls in hair was sitting on the throne. This was Amaal Mort Breaker. He looked younger than he did in the past because he had absorbed the lifespan of multiple people, including his own son.A small flying snake flew into the king’s palace and entered Brad's head through his ear.Brad’s expression quickly changed as the snake delivered information.“Your Majesty,” Brad quickly stood. “A-Area B has been destroyed. All the clones and knights we’ve sent have been defeated single-handed by Ryan Wolfe. But he’s wounded it seems, so we should send some of our men to deal with him before he runs to his home.”Amaal’s expression stayed pretty much the same. “Area B is very important, not just to our economy but for our future plans as well. Since Ryan has touched something he shouldn’t have, let’s send him a return gift.”“What should we send?” Brad asked. “A limb of the sovereign? Or an eye perhaps?”
“Tear that young girl’s heart out and eat it before our eyes,” Amaal bluntly stated. “That is all.”Shadow’s expression utterly froze.The knights sitting in their chairs put their hands on their weapons, as if subtly suggesting to him that he should do what Amaal asked of him, or they would attack him.Shadow didn’t have this in his calculations. He was expecting to be rewarded for his efforts, perhaps, after putting him through another tough battle right before the king’s very eyes, but he surely wasn’t expecting a test of his character to be a part of it.While Shadow was confident in fighting Amaal alone, he wasn’t sure about fighting the king with all the knights supporting him. If they were to attack him while his focus was on Amaal, he would get wounded and in turn lose the battle. This left Shadow no choice but to use what was probably the best trick up his sleeve.“You want me to kill an innocent child?” Shadow smiled. “Sure. I’ll gladly do it.”The vampire maid brought the l
