“… Your ministers will naturally solve the problems related to the blood hunts.” The follower said humbly, “Those fierce and cruel barbarians will be kept outside your borders. You just need to stay here and enjoy your life.”
“Really?” Lucian took a sip of red tea and said with a half-smile, “Twenty elite members of the family were buried in a second-rate blood hunting organization. You tell me… I don’t have to worry about this?”
His tone was elegant, a unique feature of a vampire noble, but the last half of his sentence was very heavy. Upon hearing this, the follower half-knelt down, with cold sweat on his head.
No one wants to anger a high-ranking vampire. In the world of vampires, high-purity blood represents the highest level of oppression and absolute privilege. As a prince-level vampire, Lucian is qualified to extract all of his blood as a punishment for angering him.
"…Tell me the details of that incident." Lucian said, "I'll give you three days to investigate and tell me - tell me in detail how our elite blood clan troops were defeated by Silver Rose?"
The follower left in a chuckle. After he left, the system said to Lucian, "Why are you making things difficult for the NPC? Don't you know it was Wade who did it?"
Lucian smiled and said, "Guess."
System: ...can’t guess.
The next day, the attendants brought detailed information about the bloody war in advance: the one who influenced the war situation was none other than a hybrid named Wade who was brought to the battlefield as a "humanoid weapon".
"Tell me more details." Lucian said.
The attendant began to narrate fearfully. He talked about the appearance of Vader, the killing of inorganic matter, and Vader's exit. Lucian asked from time to time to get more detailed details. After he finished his narration, Lucian frowned slightly. He said as if thinking about something: "You go down."
"Your Highness," the attendant said hurriedly, "You really don't need to worry about this kind of thing..."
Lucian smiled but said nothing: "What's Silver Rose doing recently?"
"They have recently been heading towards Sinfernati, hoping to take over the lost territory."
"Sinfernati... I know that place." Lucian hesitated for a moment and said, "You go down."
The attendant guessed Lucian's intention and went down. Lucian stretched out on the sofa and said to the system: "Listen, Wade's performance is so handsome."
System: … It finally understood! Lucian wanted to hear people praise her husband!
The system was speechless about Lucian. Lucian was very happy. He checked the location of Sinfernati and found out that it was a very prosperous capital city occupied by lurking vampires.
In the past year, seven priests have died in this city. Each priest died in this capital shortly after taking office. They may have been drained of blood or their bodies may have been cut up. In short, it seems that it was done by vampires.
—At least it seems so.
Silver Rose received help from the local church and sent a team of seven people to Sinfernati, including the humanoid weapon "Ved".
Lucian looked at the message, narrowing his eyes and smiling.
…
Before nightfall, the Silver Rose's men arrived at Sinfernati.
They did not enter the city as blood hunters, but pretended to be a group of painting and photography students on a graduation trip, and stayed in a family hotel.
Because of the extremely high danger of Sinfernati, they had to bring Wade with them. No one dared to live in the same room with Wade, so Wade went out alone. After packing their luggage and at sunset, they gathered in a corner of the hotel to discuss countermeasures.
"Sinfernati is the lair of vampires. We can't sneak in too many people, so we can only act with caution... Where is Vader?" someone said.
The six people looked at each other. Due to Vader's mixed-race identity, most of them were wary of him. With such a powerful sword, who knew whether he would always stand on the side of humans, or one day point his blade at the heart of humans.
His disappearance suddenly aroused everyone's vigilance. The red-haired girl in the lead went out with a dagger, and soon she saw Wade on the corner of the street.
To everyone's surprise, the ferocious humanoid weapon actually appeared in...
See — a cat
Wade squatted on the street corner. He reached out and rubbed the cat's head with his nimble fingers. The cat squinted its eyes and was completely white, like a ball of fur coated with silver.
It looked docile and harmless, and was really a very beautiful cat. Even the red-haired girl felt a little moved when she saw it.
"... What are you doing?" She calmed her mind and walked behind Wade.
The cat turned and ran away just as she approached, with a heartless and unfeeling attitude, as if it had no feelings for Wade's fingers. Only half of its tail was left in the corner.
"…Nothing." Vader said lightly, looking at its back.
The red-haired girl stopped thinking about the episode. In fact, she was shocked that the humanoid weapon liked a cat, and she had mixed feelings. She told Wade, "Tomorrow during the day, you, Christopher and I will go to the square in front of the old art gallery to investigate. Some people say that traces of vampires have been found there."
Vader did not comment on this, and the red-haired girl just informed him and did not want Vader's answer.
As night fell, Wade opened the window in his room, where he was alone. With the night wind and starlight, the beautiful white cat came in.
It sat demurely on its two paws, its eyes as beautiful as rubies. When Vader saw it, he smiled and reached out to hold it.
The cat then snuggled into his arms as if condescending.
"There are many vampires in this city - there is a duke living here. Of course, this is not a problem for you." Lucian said lazily in his arms, nudging his chest with his mouth, "You should finish the task quickly, don't make me wait anxiously. And..."
Vader touched Lucian's small teeth with his fingers. The teeth were very sharp, and it felt like his skin would be pierced with just a slight touch.
Is this a tooth that belongs to a vampire? he wondered.
"... I'm hungry." Lucian said with a smile, "Master Wade."
It was not strange for them to ask such a question. You know, when Lucian was a succubus, he often absorbed his blood to gain energy.
There were other blood hunters in the hotel, and Lucian couldn't change back to human form. The two stayed in a remote room, clearly just sucking blood, but more like having an affair. Lucian touched Wade's arm with his teeth, and soon, he found a place that was more convenient for him to pierce with his teeth.
Lucian could feel the pulse of Vader—under that thin layer of skin was Vader's strong body. The vampire's overly sensitive senses allowed him to hear the sound of blood flowing, and also allowed him to smell the rich aroma from Vader's blood beneath Vader's muscle layer.
The scent of blood is what vampires crave and are obsessed with, even more than their sexual desire or appetite.
Lucian's body was excited. His pupils shrank slightly, his back arched, and his fluffy tail swung happily behind him. Before he lost his mind and bit into Wade's blood vessels, Lucian said slowly: "Master Wade, do you understand the settings of vampires in this world?"
"What setting?"
"The vampire's absorption of blood is like a mark - a mark that increases gradually with the number of times it sucks blood." Lucian said softly, "After being bitten for the first time, the human gets the first mark from the vampire. He will be more easily affected by the emotions of the vampire who bit him, and easy to be preyed on again."
"After being bitten for the second time, humans will be able to be controlled by the vampire. At the same time, they will become more dependent on it. After being bitten for the third time..."
He pressed his teeth against Vader's skin, rubbing it carefully and suggestively: "The human will be completely marked by the vampire who bit him. All the vampire's orders will have the power to be obeyed by him - unless the human also becomes a vampire. Otherwise, he will be unable to resist this curse that seems like fear and love for the rest of his life."
"Are you ready, Master Vader?"
He curled his lips and looked up at him, with a bit of unbridled exploration in his eyes. Vader stared into his eyes, and finally laughed softly - and scratched his head with his hand.
"You just want to hear me say 'I do' to you, right?"
Lucian wagged his tail and half-penetrated from under Wade's arm to look at him: "It's dangerous. If I have any bad intentions towards you in the future..."
He smiled, as if waiting for Wade's reaction. Wade just rolled his eyes and said, "You don't look dangerous at all."
… Lucian is still a fluffy white cat now.
Lucian then happily bit into Vader's arm. Vader's blood was very sweet, and when the tip of his teeth pierced into the blood vessel, both of them couldn't help but groan.
While the vampire felt supreme pleasure from sucking blood, the sweet paralyzing toxin secreted by his fangs could also give the human whose blood was sucked the same supreme pleasure. Lucian greedily sucked Vader's blood and could feel Vader's muscles trembling and his rapid breathing.
Wade suppressed his voice deep in his throat. He grabbed Lucian's neck, his breathing became rapid, and his dark eyes lit up scarlet in the dark. He could hear the "gurgling" sound coming from Lucian's throat, half from the influx of blood, and half from the supreme excitement.
His gums began to itch, and the vampire fangs seemed to be about to break through his gums. The most primitive impulse belonging to the blood race made him want to press Lucian to the bed and aim his fangs at his white and soft neck.
He wanted to pierce his body with his fangs and suck the blood.
He wanted to see the dazed expression on Lucian's face as his blood was sucked. Even his sharp teeth, which were sharp enough to hurt people, could only hang in the air with nowhere to put them.
He wanted to penetrate Lucian's life and share his blood... He wanted to subdue Lucian, mark Lucian, and watch him lose consciousness as he sucked his blood.
Even now, he was enjoying Lucian's expression as he eagerly swallowed his blood - as if the pleasure of sucking blood from him was his whole world.
The vampire hunter who lived next door woke up from his dream. A strange intuition made him realize that something was wrong.
The blood sucking stopped.
After realizing that Vader wanted to strangle him and force him to turn back into a human, Lucian nimbly jumped off his body. He still looked like a cat, but there was a little more blood on the corner of his mouth. Lucian stood on the windowsill, licked his paws and washed his face, and meowed to Vader in a coquettish voice.
Wade was interrupted. He looked gloomy and stared at him with great displeasure.
"See you tomorrow," Lucian said. "Now is not the time for you to suck my blood—good night."
After saying that, he jumped off the windowsill nimbly.
The vampire hunter knocked on Vader's door. Vader's expression was still gloomy when he opened the door, which made him shudder unconsciously.
"What's the matter?" Wade asked.
"nothing."
The Blood Hunter who served as the supervisor did not find anything unusual in the room, except that he discovered that there seemed to be a ball of white cat hair stuck on Wade's arm.
…
The next morning, several Blood Hunters carried out their actions as planned. Vader and his teammates arrived at the square in front of the art gallery.
"There have been many cases of girls and boys disappearing in this city. What they have in common is that they are all students of the Academy of Fine Arts. Before they disappeared, they all came to this place to sketch. Just yesterday, a boy also disappeared here. Vampires usually hunt in the evening, so we have to be more careful."
The blood hunters were investigating there, and were disguised as painters doing sketches to provide cover. After a brief investigation, Vader, with his keen observation as a half-blood, discovered the familiar smell of blood.
The bloody smell came from a window in the art gallery, and Wade sensed that someone was peeping at them from there. When he turned around, the feeling of being peeped disappeared.
It seemed like the man was hiding behind the window.
"We've been here for days, but we haven't found any reliable clues." Blood Hunter Christopher complained, "Maybe we should search in another neighborhood."
"Don't worry, Christopher," the red-haired girl warned.
Wade also sat in front of his easel, facing the art gallery, squinting his eyes.
At this moment, a shadow fell on him.
"Hello, are you a famous painter?"
After hearing the man's voice, the red-haired girl and Christopher turned around. After seeing the man's face, they both took a deep breath.
This is indeed a very handsome young man.
The young man was wearing a black suit and a top hat. He looked like a well-mannered student from a nearby university. His long silver hair was tied straight behind his head. He looked at Wade with eyes as bright as water.
"I am," said Vader.
"Are you sketching?"
"… I guess so." The red-haired girl quickly took over the topic and said, "We are students from the Academy of Fine Arts, and this is our homework…"
"Oh." The young man leaned forward to look at it, with pure joy in his eyes, "You painted it beautifully."
"Thanks."
"So - how long does it take to paint a picture like this?"
The young man had a kind of magic that made people like him, and several blood hunters unconsciously started talking to him. Only Vader's expression remained unchanged. After a brief chat about the topic of sketching, the young man finally started to talk about the next topic.
"My name is Louis, I'm a writer, and I like to come to this square to feed the pigeons." He introduced himself, "Today was originally a day like this. But after seeing you, I suddenly had an idea..."
He smiled as if he was embarrassed: "When I was a child, my father also hoped that I could be a painter. But unfortunately, I never seemed to have the inspiration and sense of color that belonged to a painter. So, I have a question..."
"Can I get a portrait sketch of me from you?" he said. "I will pay for it."
"this… "
The red-haired girl had never expected that he would make such a request. After all, the identity of a sketching student was just a disguise. She began to sweat from nervousness and secretly glanced at Christopher beside her. Christopher looked as embarrassed as she did.
A crowd of people looked over here curiously. At this moment, the "humanoid weapon" Vader, who the red-haired girl thought was least likely to speak, spoke.
“Okay.” He looked at Louis with heavy eyes, “Sit down.”
Louis tidied up her long hair, sat in front of him and smiled at him.
"Thank you," he said softly.
As the sun sets, Wade sketches Louis's face and figure on the drawing paper. The twilight falls on the two of them, and the picture is quiet, beautiful and peaceful. Christopher, who was originally looking for the traces of vampires, couldn't help but hold his breath.
"When did Vader learn to paint?" he wondered.
Louis soon received a sketch of him from Wade. In the sketch, he was sitting by the fountain with his face tilted to the side, smiling sweetly. A white dove was perched on the side of his hand supporting himself. It was clearly a picture drawn with black and white pencils, but his eyes seemed to be filled with the stars of the whole world.
"I like it very much." Louis looked at the painting and smiled softly.
“You painted him so beautifully…” The red-haired girl came over and looked at the painting as well.
It was already evening, and there were no people in the square. At this moment, she heard a loud noise coming from behind the art gallery!
"not good!"
Several people rushed into the alley at the fastest speed. A girl was pressed against the wall by a vampire. The vampire had red eyes and pressed her against the wall to suck her blood, wanting the girl to give him her life. His skin was pale and cracked, and his arms were bulging with blue veins. He looked like a low-grade degenerate who had not had blood to suck for a long time.
After hearing the footsteps of several people, he let out a muffled howl like a wild animal and fled to the other side. The red-haired girl stayed behind to support the injured girl, and shouted to Christopher and Wade to catch up with the escaping fallen species.
Then she saw...
"How come Louis caught up?"
Louis, the novelist holding the painting, followed them, chasing the scary vampire. The red-haired girl was worried, angry, and anxious—she guessed that Louis had no idea of the danger behind this, and thought it was just a game of chasing criminals. Therefore, he foolishly and bravely followed them.
"Christopher! Wade!" she cried. "Take care of Louis!"
She didn't know if they could hear her voice, but she did her best and left it to fate. After doing all this, she looked at the girl she was supporting and said softly, "Miss, everything is fine now. The vampire has been driven away by us. Where do you live? I'll take you there..."
At this moment, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
… Why is this girl’s arm so cold
The red-haired girl looked down in panic and met a pair of equally blood-red eyes. The girl who was originally "scared" by the vampire and panicked was now looking at her with a sly smile on her face.
There were two vampire fangs growing between her lips.
…
It is not that difficult to deal with the corrupted creature controlled by blood addiction.
Soon, Christopher caught up with him, trapped the vampire with holy water and silver chains, and killed him with the help of Vader.
But it was mainly Vader who played 90% of the role in this destruction. Compared with his strength, Christopher only played a small role in hindering the pace of the fallen species.
But being able to eliminate the vampires that harm humans is indeed enough to make this blood hunter happy.
"It's very strange." When everything was over and Christopher was still wiping his sweat and breathing a sigh of relief, he heard a voice coming from Louis's side.
"What's strange? Wait, how did you catch up with us..." Christopher was stunned.
Louis squatted down, opened the vampire's lips with his hands, and examined them with his fingers as if he didn't mind the dirt. Finally, he pointed the open mouth at Christopher.
"I've been feeling strange since the fight started. This vampire didn't make any other sounds, just howling - as if it had lost all ability to speak," Louis said.
"Aren't all fallen species like this?" Christopher asked puzzled.
"And now... look," Louis said.
He pointed to the dark cavity.
"This vampire's tongue was pulled out and the cross-section was caused by human beings." He said expressionlessly.
