”Come here bitch,”
”Ah!’ Sabrina shouted as the vampire with the wooden stick grabbed her messy golden hair,
In a few moments, all the thirty vampires landed on the tiny empty island floating in the sea. Except for the vampires and Sabrina, there was only a coconut tree in the center. Other than that, not even crabs inhabited the island.
”Is this the place?” the tall vampire put on his cloak as the clouds moved away, no longer obstructing the sunlight.
”If they tried anything funny, board them and kill them,” the tall greater vampire named Elijah said, looking at the approaching man of war.
He then slowly moved his gaze to Sabrina, who was still under the hold of Zeke.
”Get her to work,” Elijah ordered Zeke, who slowly licked Sabrina’s neck with a devilish grin. Elijah felt proud of Zeke because just in a few weeks, he broke Sabrina’s warrior spirit. Not only that, but he also controlled his blood lust. Zeke was the most violent and bloodthirsty vampire among everyone on the island. Elijah had lost count of how many humans and beastmen Zeke bought from the slave market just to torture and drink their blood.
Sabrina squirmed, trying to escape Zeke’s hold only to get slapped by Zeke. a bright light flashed across her eyes as everything became blurry because of the slap.
The vampires meticulously tortured her for the last few weeks to break her warrior spirit. Of course, they couldn’t destroy it completely but they certainly broke it.
Thus, Sabrina obeyed their orders like a doll without showing any kind of resistance,
Zeke grabbed her neck without giving her time to steady herself.
”Where to?”
Sabrina pointed at the lone coconut tree in the center. While getting pushed towards the tree, she prayed deep down someone from the approaching man of war would save her from the vampires.
But after looking at the thirty vampires around her, she just sighed inside. She had witnessed how they cast spells and used arch energy inside the void line. The ability to use arch energy made the vampires absolute gods in the southern continent. So Sabrina knew even if the entire crew of man of war chose to attack them, the vampires would feast on them in a couple of minutes.
At that moment, Sabrina would give anything to see her big brother or big sister. So while the man of war was slowly sailing towards them, Sabrina went to the coconut tree. As she got closer to the tree, the brighter the rune glowed on her palm.
Surprisingly when she approached the coconut tree, the island trembled slightly. Then, a rune resembling the letter ‘D’ slowly appeared on the tree.
It glowed in golden color and pulsated powerful energy.
The energy was nothing like they had ever felt. Each time it pulsated, a shock wave swept across the island.
”Hmmmmm,” after every pulse of energy, they heard a whistling sound resonating on the island.
Meanwhile, the man of war reached close enough to cast its shadow on the island. The vampires were poised to leap onto the man of war, but instead, they saw a hook being fired onto the island from one of the upper deck cannons.
Elijah moved to the front expecting a battle. He waited for the humans to attack them, licking his lips. Contrary to his expectations, he saw a dark-robed human sliding through the rope towards them. For a moment, Elija mistook the human for a vampire. Just like them, he dressed in full black, his long black coat fluttering in the wind, he had a beard that was neither too busy nor too stubble and the most eye-catching feature about him was the two swords crisscrossed on his back, forming an ‘X’ behind his back.
As he was sliding towards them, he looked over his shoulder and showed his middle finger to the man of war. As a result of his offensive gesture, someone from the upper deck cut the rope. They all expected the young man to fall into the water but instead, they saw him leap into the air, roll, and land comfortably on the sandy shore like a cat.
He cracked his neck, dusted the sand on his black robes, and looked at the vampires lining in front of him. When his gaze swept across them, Elijah saw a tinge of surprise in his eyes, especially when he saw Sabrina,
”Ghost?!” Sabrina shouted in joy when she saw a familiar face,
Without her control, her legs dashed at him only to get pulled back by Zeke by her hair. The moment Michael saw Zeke slap Sabrina, something primal awoke in him. Something deep down told Michael to cut Zeke into pieces and throw him into the sea.
”Kill him,” While Zeke was dragging Sabrina to the tree by pulling her hair, Elijah ordered the others to kill Michael,
Michael on the other hand couldn’t take his eyes off Sabrina. His hatred for the Guardian Guild reached another level. They knew Sabrina was with the vampires yet they didn’t even raise a finger. For them, the key was more important than Sabrina’s life. Just by looking at her bruises and the messy state of Sabrina, Michael could guess what she went through.
Even in front of him, the vampire handled her like she was a rag doll.
”Don’t you idiots know who she is?” Michael asked Elijah instead of surrendering to his blood lust.
”I said kill him,” without answering Michael, Elijah growled at the vampires, revealing his fangs and crimson red eyes to Michael,
”Vampires,” Michael pretended to be surprised,
”Now you’re gonna quench our thirst,” Elijah menacingly threatened Michael,
”I don’t know why you bloodsuckers kidnapped me here. But I’m really not in the mood for your games,”
Elijah was surprised, and it was visible in his eyes. He quickly raised his arm, wordlessly ordering the vampires to halt their steps,
”We didn’t bring you here,” Elijah coldly said,
”I think you guys have communication problems. The vampires in that ship said you wanted me here,”
Elijah frowned, looking at the man of war sailing away from them. Ghost didn’t look like he was lying. Of course, the vampires couldn’t see through his lies because he was trained to lie convincingly.
”Don’t kill him. Just break his bones,” Elijah ordered them with a nonchalant wave,
”Diddle diddle…” as the vampires walked toward him, licking their lips, Michael cracked his neck.
His words sounded funny to some but murderous to many. Meanwhile, Zeke stopped dragging Sabrina through the sand to watch what would happen to Ghost.
Sabrina’s heart started to pound against her chest, looking at the two vampires getting close to Ghost.
”We are so little,”
Pulch!
Pulch!
The two vampires who extended their hands towards Michael suddenly put their hands down. Elijah saw the two just standing before him without moving an inch.
When the vampires looked at Ghost, he had bloody silver swords in each hand. It happened so fast that many didn’t even see him unsheath his swords.
Sabrina’s eyes went wide as the two heads hit the sand while the headless bodies staggered around, spraying blood through the neck. As a result, the vampires shuddered.
”Blood thornes!”
”Blood bolt!”
Sabrina saw the vampires near her raise their hands and cast spells. However, nothing happened. The vampires looked just as confused as Sabrina and Zeke.
Seeing the dumbfounded look on their faces, Michael snickered. The moment Michael saw the island, he paid the system to scan the island for anomalies. Although the system said its level was too low to provide him the full information about the island, it notified him about the strange energy surrounding it.
The energy waves radiated by the island nullified any arch energy or celestial energy in the atmosphere around the island. So even Michael had to pay 50,000 badass points to use Arch energy inside the island.
Thus, he knew the vampires wouldn’t be able to use Arch energy while they were on the island. Because they had no way of using arch energy, the vampires lost all their chances of winning against him.
”You shouldn’t have brought me here,” Michael flicked his swords, scattering the blood on the blade to the sword.
After the two vampires failed to cast the spell, Elijah tried to circulate the arch energy in his body but to no avail. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t feel any arch energy in his body. To be exact, he couldn’t feel the arch energy or manipulate it.
”I am so sick of you bloodsuckers,” Michael swung his sword at the three vampires in front of him. Two of them evaded the swing by crouching down but the one who had slow reflexes lost his head to Michael’s sword.
”Ah!” But the two who crouched down weren’t lucky either. Michael kicked the sand into their eyes,
When they instinctively covered their eyes, Michael cut their heads like pruning weeds. Their heads flew into the air as Michael kicked their heads with a swift stylish spinning hook kick. The vampires were stunned by his speed and skill.
In a few seconds, he killed four vampires. Shockingly, the vampires were highly trained by Lenora, one of the elder vampires who had a seat on the council.
”I’ll rip you to pieces!” Instead of ordering his minions to kill Ghost, Elijah dashed at Michael to kill him by himself,
Whoosh!
Ghost threw his sword at Elijah, but Elijah caught the sword easily. However, before Elijah could make a snarky comment, he saw Ghost flick his wrist as a vial dropped into his arm from his sleeves.
Clang!
Elijah was too late to stop Ghost as he threw the vial at the dead bodies on the ground with enough force to break the vial into pieces. As soon as the vial was broken, Elija noticed a green mist emerge from the ground.
”ARGHH!”
”Shit it burns!”
”ARGH!”
Soon the vampires began to scream and shout, including Zeke who dropped to the ground, screaming in agony. Surprisingly, Sabrina felt nothing. She even saw Elijah scratching his eyes and growling on the ground.
Instead of killing the vampires near him, Sabrina saw Ghost walking towards Zeke. Noah might be his arch enemy, but Sabrina was nothing but nice to him. She always treated him warm and friendly, even after Michael beat the crap out of Andrews.
By slapping Sabrina in front of him, Zeke punched his ticket to hell.
