After the maids met the Countesses and their daughters, they started to explain everything that happened during the absence of their leaders.
"So they have special rounds, huh," said Elizabeth and looked at her dying maid with a sad expression '*Tsk Stupid maid! I told you the last time that you should be more careful, yet you still end up like this!'
Rose picked Lorie from Henriette and walked to Isobel's bedroom where she placed her on the bed.
Everyone walked inside as Celeste and Isobel turned to Anna and Amanda.
Celeste placed her hands on her dead maids' foreheads and whispered something as their bodies slowly disappeared in a spark of light "Ah, you did a good job, my maids"
Isobel did the same and then looked at the bedroom window.
She saw the ten soldiers that were previously hiding on the edge of the forest, running towards the main entrance.
"Ah, where is Christopher?" she asked even when she knew the answer.
'I think he's probably-'
"Killing everyone in his way and around the mansion" answered Anna.
"The last time we saw him, an aura of revenge was hanging around him as his beautiful but lifeless eyes were scanning Lorie's body," added Amanda in a kind and loving tone.
Everyone except Anna went quiet, as they slowly turned their faces and looked at Amanda with crazy smiles and red glowing eyes.
"Why did you use this kind of tone maid when speaking about our husband?" all three of them asked at the same time which made Amanda tremble in fear.
"I don't know..." she spoke honestly.
[... The hallway, present ...]
Christopher was slowly walking towards the remaining nine soldiers who were kneeling on the ground "So, you don't know who sent you? You just came here and attacked us for fun?"
One of the guards that were previously asking the captain if he was sure, started trembling more.
Seeing this, Christopher appeared in front of him and grabbed him by the neck with his right hand. "You know something, speak up!"
The soldier shook his head from side to side, so Christopher caught the soldier's head with his other hand and started moving it to the back and front.
"Ohhhh Finally~ this one knows something HAHAHAHA" he laughed like crazy and looked straight into the soldier's eyes "So, show me what you know!"
When Christopher said that, his view started being slowly covered by darkness as he saw the Captain, a yellow envelope and the name on it.
"Ohhhh~ so it was an old friend of mine~," said Christopher, and the darkness from his view 'cleared'.
The soldier looked at Christopher in disbelief as he started struggling in Christopher's hands.
With a big smile, Christopher opened his mouth wide which was now full of big and sharp teeth.
The soldier started struggling more but it didn't help him as Christopher brought his mouth closer to his neck and bit him, tearing a big chunk of meat from his neck.
The soldier's blood started spraying everywhere as the main door suddenly opened wide.
Ten soldiers ran inside and threw three flash grenades in Christopher's direction.
*Booom *Booom *Booom the grenades exploded and blinded him as his body instinctively jumped to the side, landing next to the kitchen wall.
The kitchen was located on the left side of the entrance.
"NOW! FIRE!" shouted the leader of the Delta group as his soldiers started pulling their riffles and shooting at Christopher with the special rounds.
The power boost in those rounds sent him flying through the wall into the kitchen.
The soldiers that were kneeling got up and started jumping, overpowering the fear in their hearts.
"WE GOT HIM!"
"Good work boys, now go and find the remaining vampire bitches-"
Before the leader of the Alpha team could continue, a snake-head tentacle flew towards him from the hole in the kitchen wall and wrapped itself around his neck, lifting him into the air and breaking his neck.
A maniacal laughter started escaping from the kitchen as two slender hands with long and sharp claws covered with shadows appeared on the sides of the hole that Christopher made when he flew through the wall.
Pulling himself from that hole slowly, he looked a little different.
Two twisted dragon-like horns were now visible on his head and the next thing that changed was his face.
The left part of his forehead through his right eye down to his right cheekbone was now completely bone white, with a few black veins coming from his right eye which was now fully black.
He looked like possessed by a demon or something.
"THAT was a bad decision AGAIN! Pissing me off is NOT going to help you survive guys~," said Christopher.
The leader of the Delta soldiers started shouting "KILL THAT DEMON!" as he, with the other soldiers started shooting at Christopher again.
But, what happened shocked the guards because all the bullets stopped a few millimeters from Christopher's face and body.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You know, if I were just some random vampire, these bullets would kill me."
He said as he caught one of the bullets that were levitating in front of him and inspected it.
"But I'm not" he added and crashed the bullet in his left hand, turning it into dust.
"I'm something much worse, HAHAHAHAHA!" Christopher laughed as he opened his mouth.
The soldiers started running but only five members of the Delta team managed to escape before Lilith's fire started forming in Christopher's mouth.
He roared and a blast of black and white fire from his mouth flew towards the soldiers that were still inside the hallway, instantly turning them to ashes.
He looked like an ancient dragon and the mansion was his nest.
Landing on the ground from the explosion, the Delta leader and his four soldiers got up and wanted to run.
"You can't run away from me~" was heard from behind and when the leader turned around, the four soldiers that were running behind were falling headless one after another.
He turned his head to the front but before he could reach the forest, Christopher appeared in front of him.
The leader of the Delta soldiers slipped and fell on the ground, immediately praying for his life.
"Please, spare me, I was just following the orders!"
"Now you are praying? Heh, pathetic. You should have at least an honor of a warrior and deal with the death like a true man" responded Christopher as the two snake-head tentacles that started coming from his back again were slowly opening their mouths towards the leader on the ground, licking their mouths with wide smiles.
"N-NO! PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONEughh" he wanted to shout more but one tentacle bit his neck and the other pierced his chest, pulling and devouring his heart.
Seconds later, *Clap *Clap *Clap was suddenly heard from the forest and when Christopher turned, someone punched him in his face and sent him flying back into the mansion, followed by a big explosion of dust and dirt.
Landing in the dayroom, he slowly looked at the direction he flew from and heard "Well, this new power is good. I feel much stronger than before" as a silhouette appeared in front of him.
His body which was stuck in the wall, had now a few broken bones.
"Who are you?" he asked and the silhouette moved closer.
"Is it better now? Do you remember me now?" asked Azmel as he punched Christopher in his jaw, sending him flying through the roof toward the sky.
But before he could adjust his center of gravity, another man appeared above him.
Opening his eyes wide when he saw him, Christopher heard "Long time no see Vampire!"
Etalon's right hand started producing purple lighting and when Christopher's body was in front of him, he punched him into his stomach, sending him back to the broken mansion.
'H-how is that possible?' he asked, only hearing ["I don't fucking know host but do something or you want to die?"]
Crashing against the ground, he felt every bone in his body being broken, and before he could heal, Azmel grabbed Christopher by his horns and sent him flying again, this time through the main entrance wall.
Landing in the garden where he previously danced with Vicki, he slowly looked up and saw Zanderiel, standing in front of him.
"Hi vampire, we met again," he said and kicked Christopher's face, who was bracing himself but still sent flying towards the mansion roof.
["HOST YOU NEED TO FIGHT!"] Ardelean's voice was resonating in Christopher's mind as he landed in the attic of the Phoenix mansion.
[... Isobel's room ...]
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, speaking "Are the soldiers some supernatural Hulks or something? What is happening out there?"
Hearing some noise in the attic, Isobel looked through the window and saw Azmel whistling and walking around the mansion.
"Girls? We have a problem!" Isobel pointed at the window as everyone opened their eyes wide.
"Rose, Claudia, and Vicki stay here and prepare our things for leaving. Isobel and Celeste, come with me."
Walking towards the door, Isobel suddenly turned to Anna and asked with narrowed eyes.
"Where are Marcus and Thomas?"
[... NYC, Famous Coffee shop ...]
"Ahhh~, the Italian cappuccino here is really good. Thanks for showing me this place Marcus" said Thomas to his friend, who was sitting at the table with him.
"Anytime man, ahhh~ I like it too. You know, sometimes... I just need a break from my 'work' if you know what I mean" Marcus responded.
"Yeah I know what you mean, I have it sometimes too. Countess Celeste can be a bitch sometimes, changing her mind in the blink of an eye."
Marcus nodded "Yeah Isobel is like that too. Marcus here, Marcus there, and after one hour of teleporting her to some destinations, I'm feeling like I was working an entire day without a break..."
"Yeah same, by the way, what do you think about that Christopher? Is he just an arrogant idiot or he's normal?" asked Thomas and took a sip of his cappuccino.
Marcus just smiled "He looks... normal I think. I didn't see him doing anything bad yet. Even Amanda started daydreaming about him..."
"Really?" asked Thomas in a somewhat surprised tone.
"You are letting your girl daydreaming about him?"
"Dude, she's not my girl anymore-" replayed Marcus but before he could continue, his phone started ringing.
Pulling it out from his pocket and seeing the name on it, a few drops of sweat started falling from his forehead.
"Who is it? Isobel? Hahaha" Thomas started laughing but then, his phone, placed on the desk started ringing too.
"Oh, it's Celeste, right? Hahaha" Marcus laughed at him as they looked at each other and sighed.
Picking up the call, they asked at the same time.
"Yes, Master?"
When they heard the tones of the countesses and what was now happening in the mansion, they quickly ended their calls, drank their coffee, and ran from the shop, leaving the money on the table.
