28. Lambs To Slaughter

Adam narrowed his eyes, "Refugee? You have money, freedom and power. A single blood pack is enough for you for three days and you still think you are living the life of a refugee. Man, you guys have quite the nerve to say that."

Count Floyd bared his canine teeth, "We were a proud race once. And now we have to live under your shadow like rats!"

Adam clapped his hands, "There it is. That's the real reason, isn't it? You guys are too proud, and because of that pride you think it's beneath you to consume blood packs. So you hunt humans."

"Time has changed old man. Humans are no longer your prey, your race could have accepted it and moved on. But you clinged on your crumbling pride and hunted innocent people. And that's your undoing."

The air around Adam changed. His eyes flared up in the dark, a pair of blood red eye stared at the vampires.

Count Floyd's face went dark. He could tell that this man was strong, just him standing there made him unable to breathe.

He was holding onto to the slight hope that this human would still care for the treaty but from how he acted he doesn't give a shit about it.

Murderous intent filled his eyes, with a cold voice he ordered, "Kill him."

Adam grinned.

The entire hall descended into chaos. Adam was assaulted from all sides.

The Count clenched his fist and waited for Adam's death, but before he could rejoice lightning sparked around Adam. Like a coat of armour it wrapped around him and he disappeared.

The Count felt as if everything he knew was subverted. He has lived through the age of vampire hunters and stepped into the new era. But even in this era he has never seen something like this before.

All he could see was sparks which looked like tiny snakes wind around this man before him. Before the bullets could reach him he disappeared.

Of course what he saw would shock him, this was a jutsu that awed the elemental nations. This was the signature jutsu of the third Raikage, it was with this jutsu he killed ten thousand enemy soldiers.

The third Raikage was someone who stamped through his opponents through sheer power. Throughout his life he was famous for two jutsus,

The Lightning Armour and Hell Stab.

A perfect combination of offense and defense. Adam had already mastered this technique two years ago, the amount of pain he had to go through was unimaginable but it was well worth it.

Now that he was practicing True Inner Gates this technique became much more terrifying.

Before Count Floyd's shocked eyes Adam's figure disappeared. Just as Adam disappeared, a scream rang out among his soldiers.

Floyd felt a shiver ran down his spine, he hastily turned and watched as one his soldiers turn to dust. The armour and gun he held fell down making the chaotic hall silent.

A second later all of them reacted and immediately assaulted Adam. But they couldn't even see him, one by one their numbers dropped. Floyd's palms were sweating, his cane slipped out of hand and fell on the floor.

Adam was killing off vampires left and right when he felt a slight vibration from above. Nudging his head to the side Adam saw a spear with a pungent smell on its tip brush past him, it penetrated deep into the ground leaving the handle vibrating nonstop.

He jumped up and landed on a pillar. His sharingan locked onto a person walking towards the Spear. He was an old man with silver hair and a beard, his complexion was pale like the Count.

Adam curled his lips, "Heh, this is interesting."

The old man held the spear and pulled it out. His hands traced the spear and took a stance. Adam smiled under his mask and jumped at the old man.

His body disappeared with a flash of lightning as he shot through the air, the old man narrowed his eyes.

He lost sight of Adam!

However he didn't panic. When Adam was a step away from him several bullets shot at him with incredible speed. He twisted his body and dodged them.

His body slowed down while dodging, the old man took this opportunity, the spear spun in his hands penetrated towards Adam's chest.

Floyd expected Adam to be impaled by the spear or to be filled with arrows but neither happened. His body was like a feather as he dodged in mid air.

The spear went past him. Adam smashed his fist on the shaft.

Bang!

The spear crashed into the granite floor. The old man stumbled forward from the aftershock. He quickly took a step forward and gained his footing.

Just as he was about to pull back make a move a prickling sensation spread throughout his body. Looking down he found a hand shaped like a spear running through his chest.

The wound on his chest burned. Adam pulled out his hand and disappeared. The old man fell down, his body started to burn. The last sight he saw was several vampires holding sniper guns fall down with him.

Slowly the light in their eyes faded and they turned to dust.

Floyd watched as his commander was impaled and his sniper squad get crushed. Unknowingly he stepped back, he saw Adam walk towards him his mind was spinning fast to make a solution to go on living.

He yelled out, "Wait!! Atleast tell me why you are hell bent in killing me."

Adam halted his footsteps and answered, "Hmm, if I have to give a reason then it's for something I need."

Something he need?

Floyd found a straw to clutch, "Then we can resolve everything. If what you want is within my possession then I will be more than happy to give it you. There is no need to kill me."

Adam reassured him, "That's alright. What I want is something you could only give with your death."

"Wha...

Before he could speak a hand covered in lightning penetrated his heart burning everything around his chest.

Finishing off his target Adam checked the system and grinned.
