    The sky turned dark. The orange twilight sun had drawn its final silhouette of light as it departed back to its resting place. The contrast of the spring sky in the afternoon was replaced by a pale crescent of light. The celestial object that shamelessly exposed part of its body seemed to form a smile, a smile without anything getting in the way. The smile of the crescent moon addressed human civilization who lives in misery on the surface of the earth.

    Damien, in a black robe that covered his entire body, and of course a sword in his left hand was standing on top of the old building, with eight of his men wearing the same clothes he was wearing.

    Even though the extremely cold night wind kept trying to caress his skin, it didn't make Damien falter in the slightest. Maybe because he is a vampire who can't feel hot or cold.

    He stood at the very front, while behind him were eight members of the rebel army he formed to overthrow the current vampire kingdom. One of the eight people is Alexis, the girl who this morning accompanied Michelle to do her first physical training.

    Yep, that person was Alexis, who was standing right behind Daniel, with a large scythe that she held in her right hand while supporting the center of the sickle on his back. They all looked at a vampire who was standing across the street. More precisely, a noble vampire who had provoked a scene with Damien in front of the three vampire kings just a few days ago.

    Remember when Damien almost broke the neck of a noble class vampire in front of the three vampire kings first, and Saveroth stopped him?

    Now Damien, Alexis, and seven other people are staring at the noble class vampire. The vampire who almost got his neck broken by Damien. He is Vincent Von Dutch, a noble-class vampire who just got out of his limousine.

    "Shall we start now?" asked Alexis who took a step forward and now stood beside Damien. "I don't like his perverted look." continued Alexis making Damien smiled, chuckling a little.

    Alexis never filters anything that comes out of her mouth. People who see her for the first time might think that Alexis is a beautiful girl who is still innocent and has a very good personality. However, Damien, who had known her for a long time, knew that behind that innocent-looking beauty, Alexis was the girl with the most outspoken mouth of all the girls he had ever met.

    "Sooner or later you will get used to perverted things, little girl," said Damien which made Alexis turn his head and cast a look of displeasure at Damien's joke. "All right, everyone, go to your positions. Reinhard, wait for my signal, as usual, try to hit his head this time, so that the money I spent on buying you an expensive sniper rifle is not wasted."

    A man with a charming face and a rather firm build smiled at what Damien said to him. He prepared his sniper rifle and put it where he could aim at the vampire who would be their target tonight. Alexis and Reinhard were both Damien's right and left. Alexis with his close-range fighting skills, while Reinhard with his sharpshooting skills.

    Yep, Reinhard is the person Damien trusts the most to be in a support role. His long-range shooting ability couldn't be doubted. Even so, of course, that handsome twenty-year-old man possessed the close combat skills he had trained with Damien in recent years. Although Alexis still excelled in close combat compared to him.

    Reinhard's weapon was unique. A type of sniper rifle model used in World War II by the Japanese army. A rifle with a knife at the end. It is classified as a mystical weapon, and the bullets used are not ordinary silver bullets.

    Bullets made of precious metal, from pieces of shooting stars in Norway. To get this rare bullet, Damien had to spend around five thousand US dollars for one bullet.

    All of them including Reinhardt had gone to their positions. Now only Daniel and Alexis are still on top of the old building. Alexis turned his head, "Why don't you just let me finish him off? You know that I can do it yourself."

    "Vincent is not a vampire that can be underestimated. His ability is mind control, so he can make you see the things that you don't want to see the most in this world. He will easily enter your mind and find out what your biggest weaknesses are. Ginny also has power that is similar to him, but Ginny's power is more focused on visual manipulation, she cannot control the minds of others like Vincent."

    Alexis nodded in understanding at what Damien had just said. But Damien added, "And you know what is the most terrible thing about mind-controlling power? That is, he can turn you against your friends, the people you are fighting with, the people you should protect."

    "Is that disgusting perverted-looking bastard that strong?" asked Alexis, causing Damien to nod to clarify the danger they were about to face.

    "And if I can, I want to save the girls who he turned into cattle. According to the information I got, three humans were in the limousine he was driving." Hearing this made Alexis look back at Vincent who had just burned his cigar. "Three? So he's indeed a disgusting ugly pervert-faced bastard? I bet his penis must be looks like a jackfruit seed that has been rotting in the mud for months. Small, ugly, sticky, and disgusting."

    Damien put a palm on Alexis's head, "Calm down, that's why we are working in a team. Because he can have men who come with him. If they are the ones sent by the kingdom to escort him, then it will be very troublesome for us."

    "Okay, whatever," replied Alexis in a lazy tone. "But when the time comes, I want to be the one who cuts his disgusting jackfruit seed."

    Maybe her words were harsh. But to Damien, somehow it sounded quite cute. Maybe because Alexis used harsh words to vampires. Even though Damien is a vampire, his hatred for vampires exceeds any feelings in his heart. So, he feels happy when he hears someone cursing at the vampire in front of his face.

    After a few moments of observing the situation, Damien signaled to Reinhard who was ready with his sniper rifle from a few minutes ago, while the rest of the rebel forces were ready in their positions.

    Banggg~! ...

    A bullet shot from the sniper rifle he was holding, right into Vincent's head, and penetrated between his eyes, knocking Vincent down instantly. With that, the other rebel members began to attack the lower-level vampires who were Vincent's subordinates.

    The battle ended with all of Vincent's subordinates being annihilated. Even though two of the members of the rebel army were seriously injured, their lives could still be saved.

    Alexis, who was still standing beside Damien from the start, turned to look at him, "Didn't you say that Vincent was strong?"

    Hearing this, Damien laughed dryly. "He is indeed a strong opponent, why?"

    "Was he that strong until Reinhard defeated him with just one damn bullet?" Alexis replied sarcastically, but Damien was still smiling.

    "Who said he was defeated with just one bullet? Did you see his body turn to ashes?" Alexis turned her gaze back at Vincent, the vampire was still lying on the sidewalk, making Alexis frown. "How come he hasn't turned to ashes yet? Shouldn't he be dead?"

    "He's not dead yet, and I still don't want to kill him. I'm in the mood to play a little politics in the kingdom. Vincent wants my position as leader of the rebel extermination squad formed by the three great vampire kings. With this attack, he will definitely cry his ass to Novak to replace my position. Come to think of it, I can't be both the leader of the rebel eradication squad and the leader of the rebellion squad at the same time. Also, I already know that Saveroth, the prime minister is watching my movements. So, I have to be more careful from now on. And tonight, we will not hunt, but will only save the three slave girls. Got it?"

    "No. As always, your explanation is too complicated," replied Alexis shaking her head with her innocent face that looks quite adorable. It was clear that the girl didn't care what Damien had just said. Alexis turned her gaze back to Vincent, who was now almost back to his feet after passing out.

    Someone's voice was heard through the earbuds attached to everyone's right ear. "All of Vincent's underlings have been annihilated, and as for the girls, no survivors, all of them have been sucked out of their blood. Do you want me to take their bodies and give them a proper burial?"

    Of course, hearing that he couldn't save the three girls made his expression harden. "All right, everyone, go back home before that idiot fully regains consciousness. You can bury the bodies of the three poor girls in the backyard of the mansion."

    Finally Damien and the rest of the rebel army he brought back home, leaving Vincent still unconscious on the sidewalk.

    And Alexis looks very disappointed because she could not cut Vincent's penis that night.
