“I would like to stop them~,” I say, as my smile grows wider.
“What– you want to stop them? Why don’t you just let them be?” Jill asks with a puzzled expression, while looking at me intensely.

Running forward, I can see the way Carter’s hands are moving without even using any of my powers. Without wasting time, I leap into the air and dash towards the statue before giving it a powerful kick, making it disappear into nothingness, within a flash.
BAM!
I land on the ground in between Carter and Stella with my arms folded, as if it was nothing. Indeed, showing off my powers at times can be quite cool, and that is exactly what’s happening right now because Carter and Stella are looking at me, unable to say a single word.
“I am sorry for interrupting, but I couldn’t stand watching Stella get smacked around like that.
After all, those hands can be defeated in two ways, either by deciphering all the attack patterns or by just being faster than the hands. In my case, I was just faster.” I say, shrugging my shoulders like it was nothing.
“Master~” Stella says with surprise and awe, as she runs towards me, before stopping right before me.
“I didn’t know you could fight this well. You were amazing back there. You didn’t have any ability, and yet you displayed so much talent. I think I should get you an ability crystal.” I say, while caressing her head.
Upon hearing my words, Stella’s eyes widen in shock while a bright smile blooms on her face. This type of expression isn’t rare on her face but this one seems to be a little bit different.
[Ding!]
[Stella’s loyalty to the host is unprecedented.]
A small sound rings in my head. This sound is coming from the simple A.I that was created by Mimi. This A.I is in charge of giving some random information, such as this. However, that’s the least of my worries right now. I’m quite surprised that the system gave me this type of notification because after opening my acupoints and fucking Blair’s mom, I have surpassed the system and so I barely received any more notifications. Is this some sort of upgrade? I think I should ask Mimi.
Refocusing my gaze on Stella, I notice that she looks extremely happy as she can be seen wagging her tail.
“Master, if you want to get me an ability, I would prefer a speed-related ability.” Stella requests.
“S-Sure…” I say with a small stutter. Stella’s eyes are almost unresistible right now as they look like that of a puppy requesting a treat.
“By the way, you look good in this form too. You don’t need to be shy or embarrassed about it.” I say, looking at her from top to bottom.
“Thanks for the kind words, master. Unfortunately, I can’t say in this form for too long.” Stella replies, her cheeks slightly turning red before she turns around and runs out of the room.
Turning my head, I see Carter standing with his mouth still wide open. It’s as if he still can’t believe his eyes.
“What are you? H-How could you match up to my speed? Judging by your look and age, you are not even a vampire lord yet you displayed such an amazing feat.” Carter finally speaks up, his eyes sparkling as if he just struck a gold mine.
Huh… this took an unexpected turn. I thought he was going to feel bad and inferior. Maybe he really is a good guy after all.
“Carter, even a vampire lord doesn’t stand a chance against me.” I say, shaking my head while walking back to Jill.
“Wait!” Carter suddenly shouts, making me halt my movement and turn around.
“What do you mean? Don’t you think you’re acting too cocky? Is a vampire lord a joke to you? Your speed and reflexes are very impressive but I don’t think it’s a good idea to look down on any vampire lord.” Carter says with worry, while sending a look to my mom as if signaling for her to caution me.
Of course, I understand he is worried that I might get involved in a fight with one of the vampire lords on this planet if I am not careful.
Letting out small chuckles, I walk towards Carter, stopping a few meters away from him.
“I understand what you mean, Carter. Of course, a vampire lord has much denser bones and durability than me, but that’s not enough to justify your statement. Do you want me to prove my words to you?” I say as I start releasing my vampire aura, filling up the whole room.
**********
‘S-Such monstrous aura! It’s almost the same as lady Zamira’s own! As expected of “his” son. He’s also monstrous like his father, at this young age he might even surpass him. No wonder King Duke chose him as the crown prince before going into a deep slumber.’ Carter thinks inwardly as his instincts keep screaming at him about how dangerous Jake is.
******************
Seeing sweat trickle down Carter’s face, I retract my aura and turn around before walking towards the exit.
“I am sorry for doubting you.” Carter says in shame with his head bowed.
“It’s fine… you were just worried about me. Besides, I would’ve liked to have a chat with you, but I need to go somewhere right now.” I say as I start walking towards the exit after giving Jill a small nod that I am off to meet Zamira.
BOOM!!
Suddenly, a pair of huge black wings burst out from my back. These wings are about 4 meters wide, which goes to show how large they have grown over the past few months.
“Wow~ they are just like his father’s wings!” Carter mumbles, looking at me in awe again.
Without wasting any more time, I take off into the air and begin to fly around the kingdom. I also take a look at a few things before I start flying towards the location.
