I look at the blade pressing against my neck, surprise appearing on my face. Knowing that the blades in their hand can't really hurt me since they are emperor-tier, I don't think much about it. Moreover, if they try to do anything funny, I can end their lives easily anyway.
However, one thing is bothering me right now. When did the Sanguine family have a lot of soldiers with high evolution stages, plus, high-tier weapons and gears?
Furthermore, the aura exuding from them feels a bit strange
"Do you have any idea who you are pointing blades at?" I ask the soldiers with a perplexed expression.
"We don't give a fuck. We were only instructed to bring you when--"
SWOOOSH!
With a flick of my finger, a super tiny thread made of vampire aura erupts from my fingertip, slicing the heads of the vampire lord with great force so that blood doesn't spill from the severed necks for some seconds.
SPLASH!!!
Blood finally gushes from the severed necks, making some sort of adrenaline pump through my body.
"I never expected anything good from Bryce. I knew something was wrong the moment we got here, but I didn't want to act rashly," I say, swiping my hand and, and wiping the bloody mess off my aura thread.
Moving forward in a flash, I pick up one of the severed vampire heads as there still seems to be some muscle memory and brain activity in it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"W-What are you going to do with that?" Stella asks. But I don't answer, making her look at me carefully, leaving a small distance between me and her.
The next moment, I cut my wrist in a flash, causing blood to spurt out, but instead of falling on the ground, the blood freezes midair and starts forming into several tendrils, attaching themselves to the severed head.
BLINK!
The eyes of the severed vampire head open in a flash, looking at me with hatred etched onto the eyes.
"Tell me, did Bryce send you here, what's the purpose of your mission, and how did you get strong?" I ask, gritting my teeth as I pump more blood into the blood tendrils I attached to the head to keep it alive and get some information from it.
"Yes, lord Bryce sent us here. He told us to kill the guards and civilians who tried to get in our way and also instructed us to arrest any of the royal members we saw. And about how we got stronger, we used some p-pi–"
Suddenly, blood starts leaking from the vampire's eyes, causing them to bulge before exploding due to the pressure of blood that's flowing through the brains and eyes.
"Dammit!" I curse loudly, throwing the head of the vampire at a wall in frustration, watching it splatter into a mushy mess.magic
"Just how the fuck did that happen?" Arthur asks, finally strolling towards me.
"You know, I have absolute blood control, so, I was able to keep the head alive for a few seconds to ask some questions," I reply.
"As expected of you... But the vampire mentioned something about pills. Let's search their bodies," Arthur suggests.
"That's right...." I mumble, walking towards one of the bodies, and starting to search for it.
Suddenly, I find something in the body of the vampire, a small red pill. Looking at it thoroughly, I notice a huge amount of vampire aura swirling inside of it. This aura is highly concentrated and measured.
"Found something," I mutter, and in the next moment, Arthur hurries towards me.
"T-That's a pill.... what's it used for?" He inquires curiously.
"I don't know either, but it contains the essence of vampire au–" I don't complete my words before I suddenly notice that Arthur is already searching for the body of another vampire.
"Found another one!" Arthur exclaims, showing me another pill.
Seeing the pills, I became shocked and confused for the first time in a long time. I can't even do something like this.
"Stella, head to Gleloomess City and hunt down any of these strange vampires," I say, getting on my feet.
"Waaah~"
"Take Gogo along," I add upon seeing Stella's reaction.
"Kyu~ (I kill strange, papa)" Gogo asserts as he gets down in a flash and climbs Stella's shoulders. The next moment, Stella and Gogo take the initiative to fulfill their mission.
Once they are gone, I glance towards Arthur.
"I'll go check on the villagers," Arthur informs with his middle finger stuck out, disappearing from my view before I say anything.

_________________________________
Right now, Gogo and Stella are on their way towards Gleloomess market with Stella running full speed using her ability while Gogo rides on her back.
With a sudden realization, Stella stops her movements with a loud screech and burnt marks on the floor as she stops her momentum with great force.
Right in front of them is a spectacular scene. Many strong vampires are fighting one figure. They're using everything in their arsenals to fight this figure and as they are always about to get him, he would find a way to evade their blows.
This person is none other than Roth. He's currently fighting against the vampire lords that were terrorizing the city, slowly gaining the upper hand.
Leaping in the air, Roth avoids the sudden burst of blood spikes on the ground underneath him while he descends with a bright smile on his face, smashing the blood spikes as he lands on them like a meteor.
Not stopping there, Roth grabs the blades of the two katanas that are swiftly swung at him upon landing by infusing his hands with Ki.
However, with this unexpected strike, he can be seen struggling to hold the blades that are pressed on cutting him down as the two vampire lords press their swords against his palm while the other bombards him with blood strikes.
'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I don't have much vampire aura left. Opening the portals and letting the familiars out drained my aura.' Roth curses inwardly as he grits his teeth and does a swift backflip, causing the two vampires to lose their momentum.
Seeing the small opening, Roth grabs the heads of the vampires and bashs them into each other, causing their heads to explode.
With a small movement, Roth raises his head and looks at Stella and Gogo who are rushing in his direction.
