Cleanup operation

Approaching from the treetops I looked at the lazy vampire below me.

He was probably on guard duty but he was "sleeping" instead.

Preparing my traps, I decided to engage him.

…

/Vampire POV/

My name was Harmos, I used to be just a normal villager until I was granted the chance to become a vampire in order to be with the one I loved. She used to refuse my advances, saying she "loved" someone. But how could she if "I", the perfect being, was right before her? Her flesh was just as I had expected and now we are forever together.

Every day I do the same routine. Go out in the night, walk around a bit and laze around. I hate confined spaces, and I hate working hard, so this is the perfect job for me.

But after several centuries this has become monotonous, hence I started to look for new entertainment sources. My first target was the zombies, but I quickly got tired of them, then it was the animals, but the same process repeated itself.

Finally, I turned my attention to my "Brothers". But after copulating for several thousand times, even that started to bore me.

Then I turned my attention to the only thing left, the outside. But I can't leave. They say we should wait for the right time, but that is just a bunch of bullshit in my opinion. What are they afraid of? Humans are just inferior, pathetic creatures. Their swords can't pierce my defenses, nor can their shields stop me. That's one of the reasons why I stopped training. Better control? As if I need something like that...

Hamon users? I never met one but I did kill many humans before… They shouldn't be that much stronger.

I wanted to participate in the invasion, but they told me it was too dangerous… I will leave this place at night someday and kill one of them. I will suck his blood and grow stronger, that easily. Then I will repeat that a few more times and … KUKUKU! I will become the number one! That bitch who always used to refuse my advances will know what's best for her. Being below my feet…

-Don't move.

I felt cold metal on my neck, how cute thinking he can kill me with such a thing. NO, WAIT! I never did this sort of play before! How about playing with him a bit?...

-Tsk! You got me! If you think I, Harmos, will ditch on my friends that easily ...

I suddenly felt the blade cutting my flesh, and with a thud, I saw my right ear on the ground.

-You…

Seems playtime is over, what a shame.

But I made a big mistake. How did that sword cut off my ear in the first place?

I controlled my spine and made it leap of my back like a spike in order to pierce this stupid human. I felt an impact.

But when I turned around there was nothing there. Only a tree with a hole in it.

-What…

/Fuwush!/

I suddenly lost control of my lower body. What is happening!

My world started to spin, but when I recovered my vision I saw what seemed to be a body… My body, burning into smoke.

What just happened?!

/Badass human POV/

-Ready to talk now? I asked the vampire, that was now just a head.

Will it even be able to speak?

-HO-HOW DAR…

I stomped on the vampire.

/Crunch!/

-If you make a single bit of noise I will send you to hell. Now answer my question, else…

-I will answer it…

How humiliating. But I just need to comply with the human for now, once he gets distracted I will…

Ha! I could even hear what this vampire was thinking by his expression.

-How many vampires are inside the city?

-...

-Not going to answer? No problem, see you in ...

-79. There are 79 vampires that I know of. Don't be so violent, I need time to think okay.

-You said vampires you know of. Does that mean there are more?

-During the centuries, many vampires would procreate with each other. But only 1 in 1000 children can actually become a full-fledged vampire. About 1 in 100 can receive the blood of its parents and become what we call a Half-vampire. I don't have an exact number for how many Half-vampires there are… That's why I said I knew 79, some vampires are kept hidden or choose to do so. I would say there are at least 30 more vampires hidden.

So vampires almost always have normal human children, but some are born vampires. While some have the potential but they need the blood of the parents.

-What happened to the other children who don't become vampires, and what is a Half-vampire?

-A Half-vampire has all of the downsides that vampires have, while some of its abilities are reduced. But I don't know anything else.

So the children most likely… Sigh, I am no saint. The only thing I can do is avenge them.

-...You lived here for centuries and you don't know anything?

-Th-That's because it was all boring! How can I…

-Okay, stop. I don't care about your feelings. Okay then, what about the stone masks? How strong are your vampiric beasts?

-The mask! I heard there used to be one, but it was destroyed in a conflict centuries ago. Even before I became a vampire. Its remains are now stored in the mess hall.

-What is the mess hall?

-...It's where we eat. Every few weeks we go there and eat together…

Not going to continue huh?

-You didn't tell me about the vampiric beasts.

-I don't know much about them… We have a lot of them, but they are relatively weak...

He told me about several dozen types of beasts and what they could do.

I have a better grasp of the situation now.

NOW IT'S TIME!

The vampire head on the ground propelled itself in my direction using its hairs and neck bones.

I slapped the head with my hands while conducting the wave through it.

-ARRG! WHEN I GET MY B....

/SLAM!/

I closed the cage door interrupting him.

-What is this?

-A cage made of a special material. It can conduct Hamon very well. You will stay there until I come back. If I don't… Then you will die in the sun.

-Wait wait wait. Why don't we talk about this?

-There is nothing to talk about. Unless… You omitted something from me.

-I-I… Let's make a deal, shall we?

-Your condition isn't the most favorable.

-AT WORST YOU WILL DIE WITH ME!

-I could just leave you here and come back another time.

-They will notice my…

-They won't. You are always lazing around, you once disappeared for a month. A day isn't much compared to that.

How do I know that? I don't, I just inferred from his character.

-... I will tell you about everything I know of including the other's abilities, but you will come back to fetch me! That's the only thing I request.

-Deal. You have ten minutes.

I used Hamon to charge the metal of the cage, zapping the vampire in the process.

-ARG! Be more careful, okay?...

I WILL KILL THIS HUMAN AS SOON AS I LEAVE THIS DAMNED CAGE!

… For ten minutes the vampire continued to speak at an incredible high speed. Normal humans wouldn't be able to understand him.

-... And that's all I can remember.

I didn't say anything and just turned around.

-HEY! Where are you… ARRGGG! IT BURNS.

-I told you to not scream. I looked at the burning vampire.

I would never leave a vampire-like this in the open, I ain't stupid. As for my promise? Don't fuck with me, he didn't deserve it in the first place.

… For the next 20 minutes, I went around the surface town killing all of the vampires and dangerous vampiric beasts.

Just like he said, there were several hidden vampires. Their power wasn't that great. Or was I already this strong? Their senses were pretty good. But they weren't enough to detect me. They are way inferior to DIO.

Now I stand in front of the mausoleum, the entrance into the underground complex of the vampires.

The more vampires I kill the better. If things get too dangerous I can just use the many secret passages around the place.

I still have around half an hour before sunrise…
