Vanessa looked very serious and angry as she told me about the Vampire Slave race, I had never seen her like this.
She seemed to be talking about something she didn’t want to exist, about something she didn’t accept to exist.
“Where are they, Father?” (Vanessa)
“You said there are survivors, right?” (Vanessa)
“Calm down Vanessa…” (I)
“How can I calm down when there’s some bastard that is staining this world just by existing.” (Vanessa)
“Turning someone into a Vampire Slave is more than cruel, it damages people’s souls due to the strong emotions they feel, in addition, souls feel the pain in the body when they are injured.” (Vanessa)
“Even if the Vampire Slave is treated well, over the centuries its soul weakens until it disappears because its connection with its own body no longer exists.” (Vanessa)
“But the kind of filthy beings that create Vampire Slaves won’t treat them well, they are usually hidden indoors for years and are fed just enough not to die, suffer physical and verbal abuse while being treated as disposable things.” (Vanessa)
“Calm down Vanessa, you’re missing the…” (I)
“This type of Vampire is sickening, it makes me sick to know that this type of creature can be associated with the Great Goddess Selene just for being a Vampire.” (Vanessa)
Vanessa has lost control of her emotions, I’ve never seen her in this state before, her words are full of murderous intent, but I can feel an energy leaking from her body, a red energy that I recognize as Selene’s Blessing.
I can feel that Selene’s Blessing is being influenced by Vanessa’s anger, now that I realize this I close my eyes and try to feel the blessing inside me, then I notice that it is also giving off an angry will, but mine is weaker, I wouldn’t even have noticed if I hadn’t looked.
Vanessa’s is stronger because it’s being intensified by Vanessa’s own anger, I need to calm her down now.
I spread my Aura while activating the harmony effect on my Aura, plus Vanessa is someone from my lineage which makes her feel the effect of many titles that overlap. .
With my Aura, she ends up calming down in a few minutes while slamming both hands on the table breaking it.
“Calm down Vanessa, I’ll take you to the prisoners, but first you must calm down.” (I)
“I…” (Vanessa)
Sigh
When Vanessa calms down she looks at her hand and then closes her eyes for a few minutes before sighing.
“I’m sorry about that, Dad.” (Vanessa)
“I just hate taboos that refer to souls, most of them destroy souls or affect them in a negative way.” (Vanessa)
“I heard you saw something similar with Layla when you saved her.” (Vanessa)
“Yes, but I did what I could for Layla back then and we will do the same this time.” (I)
“The best we can do is kill them, if I do that I may be able to take them to the Goddess’s side where they will be blessed for their next lives.” (Vanessa)
“Is that the only way?” (I)
“Yes, we don’t know how long they’ve been like this, but I know their souls must have already been affected, death will be a release for them.” (Vanessa)
“Then I think we’d better go now before Lilith decides to do something.” (I)
Vanessa and I spread our wings and flew at full speed to the place where I left the prisoners, I hope we get there before they suffer anything.
When we arrived at the prison building that was built for that hateful Archbishop of the Church of Light to stay in, I saw Lilith and Lilian having an argument at the prison door.
Vanessa and I choose to land next to them which interrupts the discussion.
“What’s up?” (I)
“Lilith was saying that she won’t do anything to the prisoners and she was trying to convince us that it would be better to just kill them.” (Lilian)
“I don’t like to harm victims.” (Lilith)
“What victims? They tried to harm the Holy Son, that alone makes them criminals.” (Lilian)
“I think I understand what’s going on, let’s go in and talk about it.” (I)
When we entered we were in the front room where there is a normal room with sofas, chairs, and a table so we can talk or discuss some things more comfortably.
Vanessa and I told everything we were talking about earlier to Lilith, Lilian, and Elsaris who was already inside lying on a couch.
After they heard everything Lilith had a smile on her face, but her eyes showed a cruel and brutal intent, I’m sure she’s already thinking of different ways to torture the Vampire who controls these Vampire Slaves.
Lilian reacted very similarly to Vanessa but showed enough self-control of her emotions but very strong murderous intent was being emitted from her body.
Elsaris was the most normal, she had a serious expression but didn’t show any change in her expression.
“At least that explains why they don’t have any Aura of Revenge directed against them but have a strong Aura of Revenge being emitted from them.” (Lilith)
“I knew they were victims.” (Lilith)
“In my 1000 years of life, this is the most repulsive thing I’ve ever seen someone do to another person…” (Lilian)
“How dare such a filthy being use the power the Blood Goddess has bestowed on our race to do something like this.” (Lilian)
“Since I’ve never encountered anything like this during my centuries of work, what have I been doing to let it continue right under my nose?” (Lilian)
“Calm down you two, now is not the time for this, we should try to get some information about the Vampire who did this.” (I)
“It will be impossible to get anything out of these people, they are no different from Golems created by Alchemists or Magic Engineers, they will only obey their masters.” (Vanessa)
“I’ve heard about Vampire Slaves, but this is the first time I’ve seen one.” (Elsaris)
“While these two were arguing outside I tried to get the prisoners to talk, but they don’t show emotion and their eyes are empty.” (Elsaris)
“It was great to talk to dolls, they probably won’t answer anyone, it must have been some order that this Vampire gave them if they were captured.” (Elsaris)
“Then let me take care of them, they deserve to rest in peace.” (Vanessa)
“Wait a minute, if we can’t get any information out of them, then wouldn’t it be better to use them to track down the Vampire we’re looking for with some kind of magic?” (I)
“I know of some spells of this type that are used to track blood relatives with 1 generation differences, I also know others that can be used on Familiars.” (Elsaris)
“The first type of magic won’t work on Vampires, the second type won’t work either as Vampire Slaves are not Familiars.” (Vanessa)
“So I think Priestess Vanessa is right, we should let these people rest in Goddess Selene’s embrace in their deaths, it’s not right to keep them that way.” (Lilian)
“But they’re our only lead on this Vampire.” (I)
“Maybe I have an idea, but I’ve never tested it before, Dad.” (Lilith)
