'FUCK! I was too late' Harry cursed as he watched Blade's body fall to the ground.

'Well fuck... there goes Constantine's perfect Debut as a Vampire Hunter. I'm really starting to hate that Vamp. He is unusually skilled and sneaky. Well compared to other vampires I have seen before. Well guess I'll fight him a bit with some magic. Just to show off a little so this little 'trip' of mine isn't a complete failure'

Constantine appears near Damien and a magic circle forms on his palm. Fire balls erupted from his hands. One after another he threw them at the Vampire.

Damien who saw the attack immediately retreated but Harry pressed on. He changed it up and switched to lightning. When Damien tried to escape using his shadow, he would throw a flash spell.

Damien returned the attacks with blood magic and shadow sneak attacks. But Constantine saw through them and destroyed them.

'Where did this pain in the ass come from.' Damien dodged another attack from Constantine 'I need to stall. Unlike those idiots I saw where this battle was going. I already sent a distress signal to the nearest High-Class. He should be coming soon. Even if he takes all of the glory for finishing off these Hunters. I still have my kill of the DayWalker to gain merit with'

Harry on the other hand was frowning. The vampire suddenly switched to a defensive fighting style.

'Why is he stalling? Blade might be dead and Argent Team is down. But we are still wining. Klaus is just about to finish off his 'Captian'. If we gang up on him he is dead'

Harry used a wide rage flame attack to cut off Damien's escape path behind him. Then went straight in for close combat.

'The hell? Isn't he a magician?' Damian was surprised but he then grinned. Close combat is where vampires are best at.

Damian ruthlessly attacked 'Constantine' who defended with shield spell circles. However just as he swung his claws again. Constantine dismissed the spell shield and grabbed his wrist pulling him closer.

Their eyes met.

'Legilimency'

Harry attacked his mind. Damien screamed out in pain as he backed away. But Harry was already in his mind. He ruthlessly rushed in, not caring at all about subtlety before he found out Damien's plan. He quickly grabbed the mic that was on the collar of his coat.

"RETREAT!! A High-Class Vampire is coming!!!"

Everybody flinched slightly when they heard High-Class. That was not an opponent they can face. A single one can easily wipe them all out.

Klaus quickly took command "How accurate is this information!?"

" 85%. I got this information of the 'Captians' mind he called for reinforcement the moment we attacked." Harry replied as he rushed to Blade

He used earth to surround Blade burying and puts his hand in the small opening. Then without anybody knowing he uses used magic to put all of his gear in the expanded pocket he had in his sleeve and used the Emerald Soul Eating Flame. The flame burned Blade's body and took his soul.

'Free stuff it would be a waste to leave it all behind'

Hearing the information from 'Constantine'. Klaus's mind raced. He didn't know Constantine at all, but he was competent and strong. Not to mention he was carrying the reputation of the entire House of Belmont. He shouldn't give out false information. While they have gained a lot they lost Blade and a few of Argent's men.

It was a pity to stop here when they had just started. But fighting a High Class Vampire even if not a Noble one, would be suicide. Hence the only conclusion would be to cut their losses.

"Gather the proof of kill and retreat. I repeat, gather proof of kill and retreat. A high Class is coming our way"

Everybody immediately acted. Cutting off heads of the Mid-Class and stronger Low Class. While taking out the fangs of the weaklings. Some of them even started to take quick pictures of the battlefield. To show just how many they killed.

Damien held his head as he growled "Damn!!" his head felt like it had been hit repeatedly with a sledgehammer.

"Damn you Hunter!" He roared at 'Constantine' who just smirked " Nice try Vamp. I'll be seeing you around 'Damien Salvatore' "

Hearing his name Damien paled. The hunter knew his true name. Not even other vampires knew it, even the king didn't know his name.

'NO! He must not leave here ALIVE!!!'

If the hunter left and spread the news. His life would be in constant danger. Even weaker hunters could gang up on him and seal him by using his true name.

Harry smiled and put his thumb and middle finger together, while pointing at the Vampire who was rushing at him. "Take this gift from the House of Belmont"

SNAP

A spark lit up. BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM

Damien was blasted away by the huge explosion that appeared out of nowhere. His face and chest were burned. So much so that it reached his bones. He cried out in pain as he started to regenerate. Instinctively the shadows swallowed him up. Just as they did. A bullet hit his previous location.

Up on a tree K.K. clicked her tongue as she dropped down from the tree.

Damian watched from the shadows as the Hunters retreated. He was too injured to move, and the regeneration would take a few more seconds. But that was enough for the Hunters to run away.

'Damn it!! I will remember this!! I will hunt you down until the ends of this Earth!! I will hunt you down!!! BELMONT!!!'

"Fucking Damn IT!" Zapp cursed " We just got here. And a fucking High-Class shows up. Are you even sure?" he turned to Constantine.

BOOOOOOOOMMMM

A large explosion happened behind him.

John laughed outload "Yep. Pretty certain, mate. That explosion I left behind can only be triggered by people who are above Mid-Class. It does this by calculating the amount of mana they have and passive mana they let out."

Everybody had cold sweat appearing on their backs. They narrowly escaped death.

" Ahh thank goodness for Mr. Constantine" Leonardo said out loud while being carried by Zapp.

"Shut up pubes"

"Why are you mean!" Leonardo complained

"Why are you such a virgin!" Zapp yelled back

"Such an uncivilized conversation" Chain said with a calm voice

"Shut up wolf-bitch. You wanna go! HuHHHhhh!" Zapp said in an annoying tone making tick marks appear on Chain's forehead.

'Stupid Neanderthal'

"Johnathan I owe you my life. The Argents will remember this debt." Christopher said in a sombre tone. He had lost half of his team but he was alive.

" Sure thing, mate. Get yourself checked out will ya. I blocked the explosion, but you still might have some internal injuries form the shock"

Argent winced 'No kidding. I felt my internal organs shift, busted half my ribs as well. But I'm alive. That's all that matters.'

"Mr. Constantine. We all owe you a lot. If not for you all of us would be dead. I'm planning to give you a cut of everything that was made today, I'm sure the others won't complain" Klaus said in a calm tone. He was ever the gentleman and a true honest man. To him it was simple. John saved them all hence he gets more.

"Of course we won't complain. We almost died" Sam and his brother ran by them.

Their wounds were slowly healing. How the brothers were still alive and standing was a miracle. They literally had fist sized holes in their bodies.

"Ugh. I hate using demon blood. It tastes disgusting and I always feel weak and sick after I use it." Dean complained as the effects were slowly wearing off.

"Only you two are insane enough to actually try to consume demon blood. Not to mention surviving the effects. How do you two even do it" K.K asked in a jovial tone.

Dean scoffed as he dusted off his clothes, or what was left of them. "You can thank our old man for that. Did some sketchy shit to us when we were babies. We don't understand how or why. But it works for us"

Harry was very curious about how their bodies worked but held it in. There will be another chance for that. "Interesting. Well if it helps keeps me alive I would use it no matter where the power is from. Oh and Klaus I don't need the bonus. The reason I even joined this mission was to show the world that the Belmont's were back. That kinda backfired on me. Man the Young Lord is going to be pissed"

"Are you going to be fine? I can write a letter to your boss to explain the situation" Klaus said worriedly. Constantine was their saviour. How can he let him go and get punished without doing anything to stop it.

"Nah it will be fine. He is going to kick my ass a bit, say that I have been slaking on my training and let the whole thing go. The Young Lord isn't unreasonable. And he always tells me to prioritise my life first."

Klaus smiled after hearing that "You have a good leader"

Seeing that they were a good distance away. Constantine stopped and threw the 'proof of kill' to Klaus. "I'm going to be going now. We are far enough away and it doesn't look like the High-Class is chasing us. You can handle the exchange. I'm going home to sleep. This has been exhausting."

Klaus took the bag and nodded "Understood. it has been an honour fighting with you. If you ever need help or if you get a big job just give us a call."

"Same here" Dean smiled "Yep. Don't be a stranger" Sam waved his hand

" Good luck on your hunts. Constantine" Argent also said his goodbyes.

John Constantine waved his hands and a magic circle appeared under his feet. It was yellow and had the Belmont Crest on it. "See ya lads."

Whooshhh 

In a flash of light he teleported away.

~

The High-Class vampire dusted off his shoulders. That explosion... was unexpected but it didn't even leave a scratch on him.

He turned towards the woods where Damien was sitting on the ground with his back against a tree.

"Get up scum"

Hearing the cold tone of his voice Damien quickly did so, despite the pain he was in. "My Lord" He did not expect this. When he called for help from a High-Class he assumed it would be 'turned' Vampire. This was a Pure-Blood. A Noble in the Vampire World.

"Tell me scum. How did six 'Captians' lose against those hunters." The Lord growled as his red eyes glowed in the dark.

" The enemies this time were no common Hunters. LIBRA was leading the charge. The Argent's were there was well. Even the DayWalker joined them, whom I have killed my Lord"

"You have slain the DayWalker?" The Vampire Lord said with a raised eyebrow. To them the DayWalker was like a rodent. One that they could not get rid off. They have even sent High-Class turned vampires to hunt him down. But the DayWalker would somehow find out and would dig himself into whatever hiding spot he could find. And wait out the Vampire.

"Yes my Lord. I crushed his heart myself" Damien said with his head lowered.

"Good. Very Good. You shall be rewarded solider."

"Thank you for your generosity. But the day walker wasn't the most shocking thing. They had a Belmont with them my Lord"

"WHAT!" The vampire grabbed Damien by the shoulders. "Are you sure it was a Belmont"

Damien was shocked. He had never seen a Lord act this way. "Yes!"

The Vampire Lord grinned ' So you house survived after all. Frederic. I have another chance to wipe out your cursed bloodline.'

This Vampire Lord was one of the first 'victims' when the first Belmont. Frederic Belmont started to hunt. Due to his inexperience at the time. This vampire survived. And it held a grudge. Back when he was young and impulsive. He desired freedom. So he travelled and feasted on anyone he could find. He was a Pure-Blood Vampire. But he was just 'born' so his strength was Low-Class.

On that cursed night. He sent away his guards and went and attacked a woman. But he didn't know that the woman was just bait for Vampires. He fell into a trap. It was only due to his heritage and knowledge of blood magic was he able to escape. By the time he called his guards back. The hunters have escaped. He later learned that it was a Belmont who did it.

'I will find you and I will kill you and every one of your kin. Just you wait'

~ 30 minutes later.

Harry has been running and teleporting around. To make absolutely sure nobody was trailing him. He has been going in major cities in the Balkans and going to another city to teleport away. Doing this a few times until he arrived in Vienna Austria. Where he strolled around before finding a nice quiet place to teleport back Home.

He teleported in the designated spot for 'Arrivals' near the lobby.

"Ughhhh. I'm soo~ exausteddd~" Harry complained as he drank a potion and he soon returned to his original form. The growth potion was flushed out of his system.

"So how did it go?" Melinda asked calmly as she was busy sorting through requests.

"Killed a few Vamps. One of ours got killed as well. Very tricky Mid-Class vamp with excellent Shadow Magic. He called a High-Class. We barely got out of there in time.

Melinda deadpanned at him. " Why must you put yourself in such a dangerous position?"

Harry just stretched as he headed for his bed "Because when the real danger comes. I will be ready. I learned a lot today. Tested out a few things as well. Ahhh I got so many ideas for improvements but I really need to sleep now. Good night"

 Melinda just shook her head. ' Magic Maniac. I'm crazy for even worrying about him. That brat definitely has portkeys and ready made barrier placed on his vital spots. But I still can't help to worry. I have gotten soft.' she chuckled at herself as she sent back replies. Business was going well.
