Chapter 41: Rewind Level 0: Origin.

"I'll show you... Hell..." Said Sangrea as her true form revealed itself.

Silver hair glistening like the moonlight and blood-crimson eyes that looked as though they could devour you whole.

She wore a black gown with slits on both legs that showed her long, and delicate legs and high heels. Due to how seductive they were, those who saw them were sure to feel their blood boil.

Her figure and facial structure had matured giving her an even more unique beauty. Her curves had become more pronounced and eye-catching.

As her physical appeal increased, so did the sense of danger. The pressure which was being released from her glare made them feel as if it was death itself glaring at them..

'My body... It feels light... It's overflowing with power...' Sangrea thought to herself as she looked down at her shadow.

It was squirming around uncontrollably, unable to effectively suppress itself. A pulsating scythe was then launched out of her shadow towards Sangrea as she slowly lowered her hand.

*Catch*

Grabbing the scythe, she spun it around a few times with her finger before getting into a stance. There were long red veins running across the scythe's grip and a pulsating red gem in its heel.

[Gravity Manipulation: Gravitation Field X 50]

*CRACK!*

A grin appeared on the Vampire Lord's face as he witnessed her appear completely unfazed by the force of gravity pressing down upon her. Her feet plunged deeper and deeper into the ground as the ground beneath her crackled under her feet.

"Haha... Hahahaha! This is what I'm talking about! This is what the presence of a true Redblood should-"

He was interrupted as Sangrea suddenly appeared before him with her scythe's edge just before his neck, leaving cracks on the ground and bursting the air behind her.

*CLANG!*

A shiver ran down the Vampire Lord's spine as he swayed backwards and watched the edge of the scythe whizz right past him.

Immediately making its way around her body, it swung downwards at him from above.

[Gravity Manipulation: Zero Gravity]

*CRASH!*

As he kicked off the ground, away from her at incredibly high speeds, the spike crashed right before his feet. Having released the pressure of gravity on himself, he was able to quickly create distance from her.

Or so he thought-

*SLASH!*

While soaring through the air, the Vampire Lord saw Sangrea appear above him with another swing heading his way.

*CLANG!*

Having swung his sword with all he had, he parried the swing only for two more scythes to emerge from under her, swinging right at him.

*SLASH!* *CRASH!*

Just before colliding with the wall, his non-dominant left arm was slashed off. The Vampire Lord leapt away from the wall whilst looking down at her shadow. The scythes were squirming around inside of it.

'She's taken my arm off already? This fast!?'

*CLANG!*

While the other nobles watched in disbelief, the Vampire Lord was pushed back as a fury of scythe swings was unleashed upon him.

*CLANG!* *CLANG!*

As soon as he parried one swing, two more appeared from her shadows at high speeds, slashing at him and aiming for his vital points.

His body was constantly being cut and healed, leaving him exhausted as he focused all of his efforts on surviving.

*Swoosh!*

Sangrea swung her scythe diagonally at the Vampire Lord, forcing him to duck to the left only to have a kick smash into his ribcage and liver.

A pained and shocked expression covered his face as he was hurled over the wall, plunging into it and nearly through to the next room before remaining motionless.

Immediately, eight chains soared through the air after him, binding and restricting his figure to prevent him from moving.

'M-My body.. It can't move...!' He panicked as the chains wrapped themselves around him.

'Already? That quick...?'

'I'm a Vampire lord...! Even for a Redblood this shouldn't be possible...'

When he looked over at Sangrea, and blinked, he saw his life flash before his eyes as her scythe swung horizontally toward his head.

"Stop, Sangrea." Muttered Xavier

*SWOOSH!*

Right at the Vampire Lord's neck, the edge of the scythe stopped. Sangerea turned to Xavier with a confused look and found him standing near the entrance of the palace with both swords pointing at the six nobles before him.

Xavier had blood dripping down his mouth from biting his lips in rage. Trying to hold back his anger, he could feel his arms trembling.

After noticing what the two closest nobles were holding, her eyes widened.

Xavier's mother and sister were still in their slumber, but they had come out of the shadow cocoons. The nobles had placed their swords upon their hearts. If they were still in the cocoons Sangrea could have fortified it, when had they broken them out?

"Lower your weapons..." Demanded the Nobles.

When The Vampird Lord heard this, he burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha... Hahaha... Hahahahaha!!!!"

The Vampire lord burst out laughing.

"What's wrong, Sangrea Redblood? Aren't you going to killl me?" The Vampire Lord asked as he placed his neck against the blades edge, forcing it to prick into his skin.

Sangrea watched as the Vampire Nobles moved the edge of the blades closer to Xavier's mother and sister's heart.

"Do as they said, lower your scythe..." Said the Vampire Lord as he giggled with an excited grin.

Sangrea's expression turned into that of disgust as he glare at the Vampire Lord before moving to do exactly that.

But before she could, she was stopped by Xavier who said. "Don't, Sangrea. Stay as you are."

Sangrea watched as Xavier let out a sigh and rubbed the back of his head with his sword.

"Let's not waste time. You have a hostage, we have your Vampire Lord, as our hostage. What do you think is worth more? Two human blood bags, or the one who watches over this blood bag."

"If anything happens to them, Sangrea will kill the Vampire Lord, then after..."

A shadow loomed over Xavier's face as he glared at the six Nobles and bore his fangs.

"I will do everything in my power to give you the most painful death imaginable..."

"And devour you..."

With confused looks, the nobles looked at each other before pointing at Xavier and laughing with one another. The one to speak up was a short blue lilac haired noble with a longsword on his waist. Xavier recognized him, he was the noble who almost caught him at the other palace. Arnold.

"You make a fair point... How about no?"

*Pierce* *Splatter!*

Sangrea stretched out her hand to try and stop him but it was too late.

Arnold Noble had grabbed onto the hands of the two nobles holding Xavier's mother and sister hostage, forcing their hands down, and forcing their blades deep into their hearts right before Xavier's eyes. speaking.

"...What...?" Xavier let out with a confused look as he dropped to his knees.

Watching the blood pouring out from their bodies, he found himself unable to believe his eyes. Sangrea didn't move a muscle, she also couldn't believe it. She didn't know what to say.

Memories of Xavier's mother and sister flashed by his eyes as tears streamed down it.

"Hahaha... Those Nobles couldn't care less about me dying, in fact, they'd love it. Taking my spot is something they probably dream of every day." Laughed the Vampire Lord only to have his mouth silenced by Sangrea's chains.

"Evolve..." Xavier muttered as he hung his head.

At that moment, his hair colour transitioned from black and silver to entirely silver.

[Evolution Complete.]

[Race: Fully fledged Vampire.]

The two Vampire Noble's leapt at Xavier's defenceless figure, swinging their swords at his neck, before decapitating him.

[Rewind Level 0: Origin.]

Everyone blinked, confusion filled the air as the two Vampires that had leapt found themselves standing in the position they had taken before leaping.

Sangrea who had also leapt a second after them to stop them, had reverted back to her previous position.

"Didn't... Didn't we just kill him?"

"Am... Am i imagining things or are we back to where we were standing?" Asked the Nobles.

Meanwhile Xavier had gotten up and had began walking over to them with the two swords in his hand.

[Name: Xavier Trigger.]
