“I wish for you to fulfill your job as the war prisoners. Failure to do so will lead to the punishment that you will experience around you soon enough.” Shadow warned them with her dry voice and her lazy eyes. She wiggled one of her feet in the air to entertain herself.
They recoiled in fear whenever the agony screamed echoed around the building. The ugly shriek could be heard by everyone.
Every pleading sound, groaning, grunting, and crying were resonating and some escaped inside their cell. The vibration of the shriek was from in front of them, their back, their left, their right, their ceiling, and on the floor.
It instilled fear inside them.
A psychological effect that led to the easiest path to find the answer.
“I will talk.” Gunner decided to surrender for good. It wasn’t for the threat, it was his conscience. “Let me talk.”Amel was visibly pleased while the lord maintained her cold gaze. The raven just hung on the table pecking at the biscuit meant for Shadow.The dice of his fate have been cast. It’s time for Shadow to see what number he imprinted on.Shadow’s cheekbone rose, and her crescent moon’s eyes stayed on Gunner. “Tell us, Gunner. For I, the lord of the Overlord Town will ease your worry once my spirit of inquiry is sated.”“Then, I would like for you to release my comrade from his misery.” He bravely tried to negotiate the terms before he started. His fierce eyes fought Shadows.
“You are a Burning Town citizen. No matter where'd you go, you will always be under the lord's care.” Shadow recited the letter of the previous lord. “That’s what it takes to be the lord of Burning Town.” Shadow rose from her seat and bent her head.Amel and Samuel stepped away from the back chair. They bowed their heads as well.“We may be too late, but I still want to apologize. Please accept our overdue apologies. I was ignorant, I was late. It costs your family’s life. I am so ashamed to meet you like this but please, don’t hate us.”Gunner was speechless.This… this was beyond his calculation. Yes, he was from Burning Town but he and his family decided to change their place. They chose to migrate. Bu
“Do you wear your goggles properly?” Shadow let Elijah do all her work.They were currently at the highest hill, in the middle of ambushing the main capital of the vampire city. Her people were already in their position waiting for her order to start their mission.“Yes, My Lord,” Amel and Conan answered.“How about our coordination?”“All in position, My Lord,” Amel answered.Shadow then waved them away.Elijah’s hand worked her wonder while Shadow patiently waited for the final result. She stretched her neck upwards to decrease the gap between them.It wasn’t because E
Shadow zipped in her mask and rose on her feet at once. The smirk on her lips disappeared underneath. Her eyes gazed out to the faraway trees a few meters away down. While the scent of blood thickened in the air, her nose was searching for something else and her ears picked a few murmurs in the walkie-talkie as her guidance.Her pupils dilated when he heard the long voices she was after. “Oh! They are here.”Elijah braced herself and clutched her shirt tightly while waiting for her master to start moving.“I can smell them. Elijah!” Her sparkled eyes turned to her maid. “We are moving.”“I will gladly follow you, My Lord.” Elijah respectfully bowed to her before she walked in.
She was teleported (figuratively) to the tree where the three bats were. She was so fast to the point the bats couldn’t run away.“Keeeekkh!” One of the bats hissed at him before transforming, followed by the other two. “Fight her!”Shadow kicked her legs off the trees and rotated in the air before landing on the ground. Still, she saw the first vampire approach her at a fast pace, she raised her hand and flexed her palm, and stomped the vampire’s neck.When the first vampire reflexively held his neck, she grabbed his collar and pulled down on her level, and hit his forehead with hers.“Guh!” In four seconds, the vampire slumped on the ground while grunting.Shadow unsheathed th
(Samuel, Conan, Elijah, Amel, and Sean. Go!)Elijah and Samuel looked at each other in shock.(Roger that!)Conan, Amel, and Sean answered their lord through the walkie-talkie.“Roger that!” Elijah and Samuel said the same thing at the exact time as them.(Half an hour.)(Roger that!)“Roger that!”All five of them answered her and embarked to the designated place without further ado.Samuel carried Elijah with a small nod between them as an agreement and leaped to the target.
“And want to know another fact?” Elijah pulled out her knife from his wrist. After that, she crouched down on the floor and flipped the assistant at ease. She leaned into his ears and whispered. “The coated knife with the three ingredients can’t save any vampire. Including your lord.”The assistant’s eyes started to quiver, the blood spilled off his mouth.“And another fun fact, you will have a scorching fire death. Why? Because your core is melting as your death draws near. Good night. Sleep tight.” She rose to her feet. “May the horror visit you.”“Kwargh!!!”At the exact time, the vampire lord roared to the sky with his blood spear broken into two.Eli
He fell on the ground with his wings burning, forcing him to cut off it to save his own life.So, he had no choice but to use the last resort.He summoned his last power and used an overwhelmed aura.It sent Samuel to the back. The aura was too strong, in fact, it was stronger than previously.The wind and the aura intertwined together and together with pieces of the broken sword assaulted Samuel without mercy.Samuel was sent back and soon his body started to feel weird.“Ugh,” he moaned as he looked at his shivered hand. And he realized. This was different than before.“Paralyze System,” the vampire lord
