First Hunting (3)

While I was killing all this wanker something important came to mind. It makes me think again about my decision. I had a feeling that I need to spare at least some of these people.

'Because in the end, I'm not a serial killer. I'm a great man who has so much mercy to spare. I'm a good guy you know? good guy.'

Just joking it was about something else. If I was going to follow the plan. I was just going to kill all the guards and bandit but something else was bothering me. It was something so important that if I don't have it. I will start having an identity crisis.

'Like every vampire in every story in this vast reality, They all have one thing in common. They are always surrounded by beauty, companions, or at least a maid.'

And I don't even have one of these vampire characteristics.

'It's just crazy!!'

and I don't like being the weirdo, who doesn't even follow the setting set off by reality.

So I revised the plan a bit. This is also why I give these people the option to choose for their life paft. I'm not that much of a bastard who forced others without their consent. So I give them the option of the life they want to live.

'Yes, I was a kind gentleman. Who cares about the opinion and choice of others.'

I smiled for a bit after thinking about this.

Heh, 'kind'. It was a funny word to use in a reality full of a murderer, backstabbing bastard, and a battle maniac. I should try to find another word for this kind of situation.

'If Belial was to hear my thoughts about 'kind' and 'gentlemen' he gonna laugh at my hypocrisy and start killing himself. '

Anyway.

Like I was saying, I will be giving the option.

But I don't want some dumb bitch to start screaming and yelling at me saying stuff like 'who are you to order us around!! bla bla bla.'

It was a cliche way of a story to fill their plot development and I don't want to see this kind of bullshit.

'I want fast development progress. Not some bitch barking about their family background.'

So I put some of < Death Intent > to pressure all this bastard before asking anything. This technique is my top useful skill for someone who has reincarnation ability solely me, as it doesn't need to recreate or train again and again in every life.

'cheat techniques for reincarnation.'

As I could see some of them showing the face like they had to shit their pants. I open my mouth.

"You have two options. Live in a cage or die with freedom."

I was not going to tell them the detail because that is just a waste of energy.

After giving them options. they were hesitating for a bit. as I heard the two girls try to answer my question with their terrified expressions.

Their answers were to live.

"Than Live you shall."

I speak before snapping them out of consciousness.

'It's was a fast job. When there are no dumb people interfere.'

Now let's move to the merchant. there was a total of 3 carriages. And I was guessing it was three merchants, but now that I look at it again one of the carriages had a stigma so it is safe to assume that there was one noble and two merchants.

'It also solves the question, of why there were so many bodyguards.'

Yes, you guessed it. This was not your everyday neighborhood bandits. It was one of the classic noble assassination bandits plots. I don't want to judge but this happens so much that I already get a gist of the story.

'The people that planned this are just dumb.'

I had no other thoughts than that.

I moved toward the 2 carriages there was 1 man in each carriage. I snapped their necks and send them to sleep as they can't even try to catch a glimpse of my face because of my movement speed.

I moved toward the last carriage that had a stigma. I tried to open the carriage door but this time it was locked. So just like every calm and mature adult, I start to kick the door until it breaks.

-Bang

"Stop don't get near me or I will kill you"

"Who are you and state your purpose?"

There was one young lady he was standing while her hand and leg shaking.

The young lady warns me as she points her long rapier at me.

Without thinking twice, I moved behind the lady and said.

"I was your new master young lady."

"Wha-"

-Snap

She was the last person. As I checked the surroundings every single one of them was unconscious or dead. there were no other people so I moved back to the noble carriage.

.

.

let's see there were many ways to enslave people. It was either by making a tattoo of a circuit, Putting the slave chain, or using an artifact.

But I don't want a forced slave relationship that can easily be broken. Because believe me when they rebel against you or backstab you. They will start saying stuff like they were more experienced or something like, they were more knowledgeable and worthy of something bigger. It will just be annoying after that.

'Yeah yeah, bitch. You can be more experienced and knowledgeable, than the son of the [First Being] that holds every knowledge in reality and live from the beginning of existence. Very very convincing I would say.'

I don't have time for that kind of bullshit.

'Lucide open rune language and changes the user category as a vampire.'

[ Yes, Master. The language will be transferred ]

.

[Transferred Complete]

Rune language is a Legendary technique usually used by the Dragon race but after I improvised it. It can also be used by any other race. They operate on the amount of sacrifice either blood, corpses, or other things that have death energy in them. It was one of the hardest contract languages to be broken as it will be sealed by the power of death.

In this case, I will use both corpses and blood as a sacrifice.

Because why not. I already had the catalyst. It was better to use it than to let all the corpses that I killed rotting in the wood be eaten by some mana beasts.

Let's stop this useless monologue shall we and start this complicated job.

I take some of the blood from the corpse that I had killed and use the skill <Claws> at one of my fingernails making it grow sharp like a small blade.

With that, I use it to carve some rune language on the back of the noble lady's body. The blood trickles down from her body and starts glowing before fading into the air. After finishing the carved on her body. I painted the carved rune language with the blood and activate the rune language.

With the same method, I carved again some rune language and circle at her collarbone. after finishing it. putting my fangs on her, I bite her collarbone.

This is like a slave contract but in a vampire way. She would not become a full-fledged vampire just because I bite her. Things like changing race are not something that easy to achieve. But right now, she would become half demonic human.

This will make them under my full control while keeping their consciousness. So basically they will not turn into some dumb robot but have their own emotions and desires connecting to me.

'This is what I was referring to when I say 'living in a cage or die with freedom'.'

I repeat this process again and again until everyone that still alive was under my influence.

there were a total of 18 subordinates under me right now. 10 bandits, 5 guards, 2 merchants, and 1 noble. I also make sure that my consciousness were connected to them so that I can know their where-about and their condition dead or alive their feelings and desires will also transfer to me.

'This will make things easy if they try to backstab or something.'

Yup, I have a trust issue.

The sun will start to rise in a few hours, I had no time to wait till all of them woke up. So I leave a single note in their 'rune circuit' making sure that all of them will move to Ashton after they wake up.

'I need to give them their respective job. But not now.'

As I finished all of my preparation. I used the skill <Bat transformation>. As my body structure changed and black fog enveloped me. My body turned into many bats and scattered into the night sky.
