Rox... you pathetic leech! 3

"F-Fast, shut him up before he unlocks his powers! " Jenna and Adam called out together to Amanel, with blood coming from their noses, eyes, mouths, and ears.

They stopped caring about revealing the secret and the true reason why they visited this town. But Amanel, who was closer to Mark, simply didn't hear them due to the loud demonic cry.

"GAHHHHH! " Amanel, who was closest, along with Jack and the other man, just screamed in pain from that demonic shout and toxic light that was forming a wide tornado around the entire Village. Even if Jack and other humans were not supernatural beings like Amanel, this scream coming from very close stunned them too.

'Mark...' Jack slowly fell into the world of unconsciousness as his body started collapsing from the blue toxic light that began to take reddish tones while he looked at Mark who was screaming in pain and rage. 

He just couldn't stand up anymore, the only thing he regretted now was not helping his friend properly.

'... At least I tried... I always knew he was not a normal human, but I never expected something like this...'

When his upper body fell to the ground as well, landing on his back Jack saw something change in the sky.

The old white moon that was to this moment above their town had disappeared, and stormy weather had formed around him in the blink of an eye.

A rune made from violet energy with dark purple tones appeared in the sky where the power beam from Mark's body was coming.

RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE!

Coming with a loud crash of blood-red lightning that fell on the ground around the army of Vampires, with dozens of shrieks of unknown beings mixed, and a feeling of death present, a tall man wearing aristocratic clothes appeared amid all the Vampires present and feeling of a Ruler was emitating from his body.

His outfit was made from a black shirt and black pants.

A blood-red, short, Victorian-looking tie decorated with black ornaments was hanging on his neck, and the same ornaments were present on the blood-red vest that had the same Victorian style.

The entire outfit was completed with a black coat that was hanging on the man's shoulders which had the same decorations as the tie and vest, only the color was different.

His body was releasing an ominous, dark aura as sips of dark, black energy were being released with that aura.

His look was fierce, his eyes were fully black with dark pulsating veins going down his cheeks.

His posture was promising death to everyone responsible for hurting that man's family and his sharp aura was ready to pierce and cut through anything and everyone.

Looking at the pale face of this man who looked like an extremely handsome but cracked porcelain doll thanks to the black veins covering his face and then seeing the expression on the man's face who could freeze even the most dangerous of demons or creatures with just his gaze, Jack flashed a small smile.

'You took too long my friend... but I'm glad you came. It was not a lie when you said you'll protect this town... Lord of Sangruil, ' he slowly closed his eyes and fell unconscious.

...

"S-S-Salvatore?! " Jenna and Adam gulped together with Rox and other Vampires present when they saw the man standing in front of them.

'Of all Vampires, that damn psychopath had to come?! '

Everyone couldn't move or speak, even their thoughts stopped because the dark-purple pressure with stains of blood-red color that was emanating from his body was just too frightening.

Their bodies weren't obeying them! They felt like the world was crashing down on top of them, and they were desperately trying to hold on to the world with their weak little shoulders.

Step.

With one step, he appears towards Mark's heart, pulling it out from Amanel's hand, with so much strength against which the Angel can't do anything, and gently picks up Mark from his knees. 

He wasn't being affected by his scream or the power erupting from the man's body at all.

"...I'm sorry, my friend that I took too long, but I couldn't come until you helped me." 

His heart sank when he saw the man's state and his lifeless glowing eyes.

"... AHHHhhh-..."

Slowly the man stops screaming and the power beam disappears when he feels the man's hand placing his beating heart back into his chest with something else escaping the man's hand.

"Ch-Christopher?, Wh-What are you...."

"Don't worry old man... It's okay, I know... I'm here."

"You did a good job! "

Christopher makes a small cut in the flesh on his hand with his fingernail and gently lets his blood fall into Mark's mouth.

"!!!"

"Bleah... Wh-What are you..."

"Shhh, this will heal our wounds old man so stop spitting and struggling! "

Meanwhile, the Vampires seemed to go crazy when they smelled Christopher's blood, but unlike Mark, they couldn't move.

Amanel, who at some point recovered from Mark's scream and Christopher's arrival, looked at Christopher, and his face darkened.

'Fuck, what is he doing here... I need to get out of here and meet Angie before our plan is ruined! '

The moment the Angel took a step towards running away, he fell to the ground.

"!?" He looked confused, and it wasn't until seconds later that the pain came on, and he screamed as he looked down.

Half of his body had been cut off by a strange black energy resembling a blade that was sucked back into Christopher's body, more precisely, into his back.

"...." He broke out in an even colder sweat when he realized it was a dark wing that cut him in half and that he didn't even feel the man move, he just saw the bat-like wing coming back into that man after the damage was done.

...

With the help of the dark blood from Christopher's body, the mysterious blood in Mark's body reacted strongly, as the man's body became pure blood and flew towards his arms which turned into blood too, and a second later, they were connected back to Mark's body who looked like he went through a super soldier program.

In the blink of an eye, he was whole again and looked even better than before. His hair looked more healthy, his muscles grew and tensed, even his eyes healed and both turned fully blue with white irises in which blue lightning could be seen circulating.

"Christopher-... I ... Thank you..." He looked into Christopher's black eyes which flashed with a gleam of satisfaction.

"I know... you tried protecting your family and friends even when you were a single human against the entire army and for that, you have my respect... but what you thought was not true... you are not a human at all, well only half human," Christopher smiled, a little confused.

...

A sound of teeth being screech could be heard from Amanel who was looking at Christopher with rage.

'FUCK! He is going to reveal the secret!!! If he do that, everyone would want that human on their side! ' he thought and looked down at his slowly healing body.

A reaction similar to that of Adam and Jenna who became pretty pissed off due to the information leak.

...

"... What did you do to me? " Mark asked as he looked at the tall man and then at his own hands.

"I made you better than you were before. I helped you develop your... let's say 'sealed side'. The unsealing process of your powers is your work."

Still seeing the confusion on Mark's face, Christopher elaborated further.

"Why do you think you managed to kill all those Vampires? By being a powerless human with only a crossbow and a rusty sword? "

"Of course not. You are not just a human Mark, but I would say you're rather a creature coming from a powerful Clan of individuals who could control space. At least, that's what I think."

"Creature? " Mark asked in confusion with a raised eyebrow at which Christopher nodded.

"Yeah, seeing your wife being held by someone else unlocked your hidden half. You became a... I don't even know what exactly are you, that's on you to discover, but I know I helped you subdue the hidden power inside you and made it easier to use it... that's all yet..."

He responded with a gentle smile as he continued to look at him with interest, mainly at his eyes.

'What a beautiful eye color~' he thought.

"…What is that supposed to mean? " Mark asked as he got uncomfortable under Christopher's gaze.

"You'll find out soon enough." He chuckled as he looked into the man's newly acquired fully blue eyes once more.

Two purple portals with the same rune in the middle suddenly appear in the sky like levitating platforms, and from one, two black-haired men appear, and in the other portal, a black-haired woman accompanied by several women with black hair appears. 

Only one had blonde hair which was Samantha.

"What a terrible pressure my darling released..."

The woman with long black hair and four spider legs coming from her back spoke up while she licked her lips sensually with a wide grin.

"It's like I'm on the slaughtering ground again~"

The short dark-haired woman with the same four spider legs coming from her back like her friend spoke with an excited smile as they both looked curiously at the ground.

"Well, that's a disgusting sight. Feeding of a lowly Vampire who thinks he is the King of the entire planet..." Ariane spoke.

"Even when he killed his father to gain his position which was already taken by my darling," Melissa added and shuddered in disgust while looking at Rox who looked back at her with a desire that was quite visible to everyone, without understanding what she was talking about.

"....." An even worse silence descended on everyone.

They suddenly completely ignored the two women. Instead, their eyes shifted to two other dark-haired individuals, specifically speaking…

The older woman, wearing a black dress and holding a magnificent golden spear with reddish tones, and the man who stood firmly on the next platform with his great friend. The second greatest dangers were present as well.

"Selena Moriarty together with Frederic Casentino..."

If things were fucked up before, now the situation was completely fucked up.

'Frederic Casentino and Selena Moriarty are the main danger. If encountered, you should run immediately if you like being alive,' The words of the Light Queen resonated in the minds of every Vampire from Rox's army, unaware that Christopher exceeded Selena's and Frederic's danger levels a few times already.

"Hah, so this is the lost army of my disciple~... I feel it becomes quite reduced tonight," Selena spoke and sensually placed her hands on her cheeks, letting the spear levitate next to her.

The crown she was wearing on her head resembled two horns covered in snakeskin and the dress on her body was just perfect.

Black colored with long sleeves, with openings from her waist towards her feet on each side of her perfectly shaped legs while her neck and upper part of her chest were shown to everyone. A beautiful sight indeed.

The other girls wore their combat armor because when Merener informed them, they didn't waste time changing their clothes and immediately went with Merener and Frederic here.

When the Vampire Knights heard what Selena said, their bodies trembled a little and fear started being build up in their hearts.

At first, they didn't understand but then, everything glued together like a perfect puzzle.

Because Cravensworth is a coward, they all left Sangruil, and then came Christopher, and because they were not there, Christopher couldn't have them. That's what she meant.

"Merener, how did you know Rox is here," Samantha asked:

"As the Sangruil Lord's right hand, you have some juicy hidden abilities we don't know about yet don't you? "

"..." Merener smiled when he saw his Lord's wives' playful gazes on him.

"Well... I was in Frederic's territory with Alex and Tonny when I heard about what is happening here from some allied witches who at some point appeared there."

"Witches are never to be trusted." Melissa and Ariane spoke at the same time with murderous expressions while Samantha nodded. They all have their own experiences with the Witches.

"Except you of course~" Melissa suddenly corrected herself as her gaze shifted towards Selena who nodded with a gentle smile.

"I know..." Merener suddenly answered and then added:

"But thanks to them is my Lord now aware of a hidden plotting against him," in a restrained way to the two women.

"Christopher, they..." 

Hearing Mark's voice, everyone fell silent and turned their attention to the man.

"I know old man." Christopher laughed 'gently'. A laughter that sent shivers through everyone present.

"How did you even come here so fast? And why? " Mark spoke as he fell back on his knees, feeling a slight pain near his heart.

"You summoned me... don't you remember? "

"Me? How? " Mark asked with difficulty.

"I think your new powers have something to do with it. When I saw the recording of this village being attacked, I went to help you but on my way through my castle, you appeared out of nowhere saying everything that happened here and wanting my help."

"What... I don't remember that..."

"Yeah, you looked like your body is made from pure blue energy. Well, I listened to you and when you ended, a portal appeared behind you and I came here."

"I have a promise to fulfill don't you remember? And tomorrow night... you'll meet your daughter..."

Christopher then looked up at the sky, specifically at Hissami, Selena, and Samantha while Mark looked at him with hope.

"You found her? " he asked.

The three, feeling Christopher's gaze, instinctively knew he was calling them. They disappeared from the sky and appeared in front of Christopher as the Vampires looked at them closer, mainly males for one single reason.

As beings with stronger emotions, their lust level always explodes when their eyes catch a beautiful woman.

"Not yet... But I will find her today~" he spoke and slowly looked like a predator at Rox and everyone who looked at his brides which made them shudder in fear.

Resembling a dragon with a wide, and devilish grin, Christopher's aura practically tripled, making the weaker Vampires crumble under it.

"Take care of him, his body and mind are weakened." Christopher handed Mark to Samantha while all this time, his gaze was glued on Rox and his actions.

"...." The girls looked at the man in front of them who looked like he reached the peak of human existence and then looked at Christopher in disbelief.

'If this is a weakened state, I don't wanna know what he considers a top state,' Hissami gulped and helped Samantha with the man who despite looking like he could fight from sunrise to sunset without a break was truly weakened mentally and physically too.

"…What do you plan to do, Christopher? " Selena suddenly asked, just out of courtesy while she took a step towards her disciple and started hugging Christopher from behind, her hands sliding on his chest.

Feeling his masculine body, his manly odor, and his killing intent, she felt like a female in heat, instinctively wanting to merge with this dangerous man.

"Hunting and Destroying."

The magic rune on Christopher's left hand, resembling that on his chest, began to glow fiercely in purple light as stronger and thicker sips of darkness began to escape from his body.

He spits on the ground in disgust and looks back at the crowd in front of him, specifically at Rox who started backing out with visible fear when Christopher wasn't looking.

...

'I have expired informations! THIS IS NOT AN ORDINARY BOY I FOUGHT BEFORE! Even when that Witch Bitch is strong, he is much stronger than her! You lied, LIGHT QUEEN!!! ' Rox thought and cursed the spies and the Light Queen who gave him the expired information about Christopher.

...

"Hunting who? " Selena's smile grew as she kissed Christopher's neck and backed away a little when he touched her left thigh.

With just the touch, her lust exploded, sending pleasure waves through her body while making her want to jump on him right then and there but she needed to control herself.

They were not alone which pissed her off.

"Everyone." Christopher's entire face began to unravel as if his skin was peeling, and soon only a kind of darkness that showed his sharp teeth and blood-red eyes was visible.

"Angels, Vampires, and everyone connected to it, even the Light Queen herself who ordered these worms to come to my territory without an invitation is going to pay for what happened here tonight."

Christopher takes a step forward as the sounds of chains are heard by everyone, the sounds of chains breaking, freeing something monstrous inside the man in front of them which should have stayed locked forever, while the weather starts acting strangely.

"... That's right. It can't end like this. Everyone will pay for what happened here tonight. Everyone who is responsible."

As a strong wind around started circulating and blood-red lightning began to shoot from the clouds randomly, Selena's smile, when she came back on the platform where other girls and Mark were standing, was sincerely making the people around her more uncomfortable.

Especially Melissa and Ariane, who saw Selena look at the man with looks that only a woman with immense feelings would give to a man.

This was not the look of a master looking at her disciple!

'It can't be… That woman too even when she promised to not do anything after our warning?! … Hah, it was obvious but how many women are you trying to hunt down darling?!' This is NOT the Pokémon game on your phone! ' The two were speechless and couldn't believe what they were seeing.

'Ardelean, my old friend, and Nicolle, my precious system, are you with me? ' he spoke with his inner voice, a little concerned, as the two responded.

'Always Host~ / Yes Master~'

'Fine, Nicolle, protect my soul against any damage I or my opponents will make and give me control over all of my powers, but lose my restrictions only to level one. Ardelean, you are my hidden third eye~. Inform and protect me against everything unseen~'

'Tonight, we must look unstoppable...' Christopher ordered.

'You can count on me host~'

'Yes, Master~ Your Vampire and magic powers are released in seconds.'

Christopher smiled and finally stopped holding back his mood, and...

!FUSHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Even more bloodthirsty dark pressure shot out of Christopher's body and exploded around him as monster souls pitch black with different shapes were released from his body and surrounded the Vampire army while three pillars of different powers exploded towards the sky.

Green, red, and purple, all three powers mixed in the process and formed a Dragon in the sky who roared at the Vampire army which looked for him like a bunch of ants.

"!!!"

"Even Ortasax?! What kind of monster is he? Even for a Progenitor, the soul of a Dragon is something that can kill even the strongest and oldest ones." spoke Jena as she didn't know what to do in the face of this monstrosity.

It was worth mentioning that Dragons as beings of Nature have a natural protection against the Vampire Progenitor's soul-consuming powers. If one tries to consume a Dragon, the possibility of the Progenitor dying is almost 80%.

That's why Jena was so confused, but what she didn't know, was that when the Dragon allows himself to be consumed, no damage is taken by the Progenitor.

For a few seconds, everyone, including Selena, could see themselves in a great red sea of blood and bodies, and they saw a man sitting on top of what looked like an island full of bodies of dead people while a dark dragon, that was now in the sky, stood behind him on his two and was shooting purple fire towards the sky, litting it up with flames as the faceless souls released by her darling were flying around him with only sinister wide smiles full of sharp teeth visible.

"Everyone responsible for this incident… Everyone who had the balls to target the father of my possible future bride and their town... Everyone who now dared to look at my brides with desire..."

With each sentence that his demonic voice uttered, the beings present felt heavier and heavier, as if they were being drowned in that sea of darkness.

The large black wings of a pure-black dragon shot out behind Christopher as his two tentacles with snake heads made from black mist showing only their yellow eyes and sharp teeth came from his back and were looking all around the town, seeing some Vampires being hidden inside the houses.

Suddenly, BOOOOOOM!!!

A spear fell from the hands of Selena, his master, beside Christopher.

It was his spear that was accompanying him from his fight with the Ogre, The Neck Breaker, and Orcs.

It was with him from the start and it was a treasure given by his system.

The spear of Armageddon which he rarely used as another weapon he had from the start of his journey here on Aragos started forming in his hand.

A weapon everyone knew too well. 

A sword made from pure darkness appeared. 

The sword of an Undead King.

Christopher takes the spear in his hand and places it on his back. He swapped the sword into his right hand as the entire sword started being covered in the power of darkness with red strains all over the dark power.

The stains were making the dark power look like it was black cracked glass while the layer under was fully blood-red, and the feeling that the sword gave was quite ominous.

As if it was not enough, another weapon started being formed in his hand. 

Another gift he gained from Ortasax right now. 

A sword of the first Lord of Sangruil where Ortasax's blood was previously decorating the blade.

...

'HOW CAN HE HAVE SO MANY ARTIFFACTS?! This doesn't make SENSE!!!! ' Rox was cursing the Light Queen for sending him into this hell ruled by this man as Amanel seized a chance and started backing away once more as his body was almost fully healed.

'Angie... we need you here. Bring all angels here. A massacre is going to happen! ' Amanel was sending his companion a telepathic message when the man's next words made him shudder.

"Everyone will die tonight and when I'm done, not even one soul is going to leave my shadow to tell the tale~"
