What are you?

Phen and the rest moved back a bit after seeing the huge black swirling flames that were dancing on Sato's palm.

With a grin, Phen tightened the grip on his axe while staring at the black flames, "I knew you were no normal human, hehe you're a monster!" He yelled in excitement.

"You blood-sucking idiot, this is no time to be having fun, he's going to kill us all if we don't make a run for it." The wolfman uttered.

He transformed into a wolf and began running alongside the rest of his pack, leaving Erza on the ground weakened and unconscious.

Although she was weak, she could still see Sato when she tilted her head a bit to look behind her.

She could see a male, with green glowing eyes, standing with a force of black flames whooshing out of his hands and to the sky.

'You…what are yiu.' Erza muttered, resting her head back on the ground while still fighting the pain she was feeling in her left hand.

<<Target locked>>

'Perfect… begin.' Sato said to himself, striking the swirling flames down on the masses of werewolves and vampires that were in front of him.

The flames ripped the earth apart, and every enemy it came in contact with.

Phen tried blocking the flames with this axe, but the force which the dark flames were using to swirl caused Phen's upper body to rip off from his lower half and die.

Erza witnessed everything, watching as the flames tore every wolf apart with its force.

For some reason she wasn't affected by it, the flames were just passing right through her with no harm done.

But she couldn't help but feel restless, seeing people get ripped to shreds right in front of her.

After a few more minutes, the poison in her body started to kick in and she fell unconscious.

......

{Flash back}

It was a cold and dark night in Vlad's mansion. Vlad and his kid Christen who was only 9 years old at the time were seated outside looking at the night sky.

"Father, I wanna know how to fight." Christen said with his foot scattering the sand as he wore a gloomy look on.

"You want to fight?" Vlad asked, he hax an open white colored robe on and a blue flip-flop.

Both he and his son were seated at the passageway where no one would dare to pass since it was Vlad's quiet place.

"Yes, I wanna know how to fight just like you, and do the eye thingy… so I don't get bullied anymore, I wanna be just as strong as Damian." Christen responded with the same sad expression.

After hearing what Christen said, Vlad burst into laughter.

"Hey! I'm serious here… I really wanna be strong!" Christen yelled.

"Of course you do, and that's a good thing." Vlad said, standing to his feet and placing his hand on Christen's head, "Wanting power is not a bad thing son, but remember… use your strength to help and give to others not take away for selfish agendas, that is where your true strength lies".

"I understand." Christen replied with a nod, "So does that mean you'll teach me how to use the eye?" He asked with a smile.

"I doubt you are able to use the…".

"Duke Vlad! Please, your attention is needed, it's the young mistress!" A feminine voice yelled from behind the door, panting as if she had been running for hours.

Vlad and Christen immediately followed the maid to Erza's room. Multiple maids gathered in front of her room, fear written all over their faces as they looked inside.

"What's going on here?" Vlad asked.

As soon as they heard Vlad's voice, all the maids moved away from the entrance to create a path for him to pass.

Not wasting any time, Vlad and his son walked into the room and what they saw left them completely frozen in shock.

Vlad immediately covered Christen's eyes with his right hand so he wouldn't catch sight of the horror that was in the room.

Two maids were lying dead on the ground, with their heads blown off from the shoulder and their guts ripped open with their insides scattered on the floor.

"I see, so this was your doing," Vlad said, looking to the right to see small Erza tucked in the corner.

She was shaking in fear with tears dropping from her red glowing eyes as she stared at the gore that was in front of her.

Her white dress was soaked in blood and her face had the same pattern, but no one could dismiss the face of trauma that was written on her face.

Vlad shut his eyes and took a deep breath,

Baam!

He immediately opened his eyes back, this time it was glowing red with the symbol of a ram.

He gazed at Erza for a while before she fell unconscious In the pool of blood, with tears still lingering around her eyes.

......

{End of flashback}

Erza slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the wooden ceiling that was embellished with different colors of lamps.

'What…happened?' She muttered to herself.

"Ahhh, I see you're awake."

Hearing his voice, Erza slowly turned to see Sato, with his head resting on his arms while he stared at her with a smile.

As soon as she spotted him, Erza jolted up from the bed and wanted to grab hold of Sato's neck only to have a sword aimed at her from the back.

"Please control yourself." Elena said, standing behind Erza on the bed with her short blade.

Erza's fingers were almost close to Sato's neck but he didn't show any sign of fear.

"Where am I?" Erza asked in a cold tone.

"That's a funny way to thank your helper." Sato uttered, he stood to his feet and walked over to the small desk at the side of the room.

The room wasn't that big, it had only one bed and a couple of pieces of equipment resting at the corners.

Erza remembered when Sato destroyed all the wolves that were after her. "It was you. You were the one that killed them." She said.

Sato paused with his back still turned.

"What are you? You killed them all with just one attack." Erza muttered, "I've never seen anything like it".

Sato didn't look back, he was still paused and didn't utter a word.

<<Notice… Heart rate is increasing exponentially, this is a sign of fear or anxiety,… >>.
