As Rye kept cutting the Oroboros’ tail repeatedly, she realized one thing. The new tail that kept sprouting was sturdier than the previous one. This made her life very difficult. She had to use her spiritual energy to cut what was probably the softest part in the snake’s outer body, and yet it wasn’t of much use.Just as Rye was growing tired of it, the snake did not regenerate its tail anymore.“Mm? Did it run out of gas finally?” she wondered, but then she could see the slight vibrations and jerks in its body. “Something isn’t right. These are not natural responses of the body.” The snake reacted as if someone was giving it external or internal stimuli. “Don’t tell me…” she brought her hand closer to the skin of the snake and felt a repulsive energy that made her want to back off. “Poison… Is it secreting poison through the skin?” She had to back away some more because the poison was mixing in the air. A normal person might not be able to see it, but she could if she were to focus o
“Shut your damn trap!” Benjamin jumped and swung his fist at full rage, but Amaal shapeshifted to look like Rebecca, and Benjamin’s fist stopped midway.“Are you attacking your own wife?” Amaal didn’t just look like Rebecca but even mimicked her voice. “I can’t believe I married someone like you. Maybe, I should just faceplant into a bowl of blood and die!” As he said, he pierced Benjamin’s gut with the sword.“Ngh!” Benjamin tightened his fist but still couldn’t land in on Amaal’s face as it looked like Rebecca. His energy was being sucked by the sword.“Huhu… you’re much softer unlike your father,” Amaal twisted the sword to make Benjamin experience greater pain. “It looks like I’m going to win easily against you.” He pulled the sword out.Benjamin’s wound wasn’t healing. “Is that sword made out of a halo?”“You’re correct. This is a living weapon,” the sword in Amaal's arm turned into a snake and became his belt. “That wound will take a long time to heal even if it’s you. The bear
“No need to be so surprised…” One of the many clones of Amaal spoke. “Every drop of blood has life in it, so I can create as many clones as the drops of blood I can make with the blood I have in my body, and…” as he said, his feet grew roots into the ground, and so did the other clones. They started sucking crude oil from deep underground, and their complexion brightened. “No matter where we are on earth, we can keep replenishing our blood without having to bite someone’s neck, and that’s what separates a pureblood from every other vampire.” Benjamin put Rye down. She was able to stand on her feet well. She may be tired, but she wasn’t wounded anywhere like Benjamin. Rye’s eyes were sharper than an eagle, but all the clones looked the same to her. “Can you find the real one?” “They all look the same,” Benjamin didn’t have a good feeling about this. “Which means…” “The real one is probably not among them.” “Yeah.” Benjamin didn’t want to waste his energy to search for the real body
No matter how powerful a living being might be, the most important thing that they required more than anything else would be the vital air, oxygen, without which it would only take a few minutes for the soul to perish and then become nothing but dirt.It was said that God made the first human from dirt, and then God breathed air into their nostrils to make them a living soul. So, it was only fitting for the humans to return to dirt after death.Now, human blood had life in it and would mix well with the soil which also had a very similar acidity(pH) value. This was not a coincidence. This was also part of the reason why vampires could sleep underground because the soil would continually charge their body and blood with its ions and heal their bodies at the same time.Sleep was indeed the best time for health recovery of any living being. But vampires were neither living nor dead. They were cursed beings that didn’t fit any category. Their life was often filled with blood and murder. T
The battle between Rye, Benjamin and Amaal’s clones was unreal. Every time they cut or destroyed a clone, it further split into more clones. Though the overall power of the clones was gradually reducing, their sheer number was proving difficult to handle.Akira made her way to Mina and was strangely glad to see her alive. “I was looking everywhere for you.”“So you were alive,” Mina was also surprised to see her. Akira was not wearing any mask now, but she was now covered up by the hood. The Nightmare cloak seemed to have accepted her as the owner, so she gave off a different aura.“But, seriously…” Akira couldn’t believe the fight taking place right before her eyes. A mountain of clones were ganging up on just two people. It was a bone-chilling sight to see even for a vampire like her. “If I were in their place, I wouldn’t survive a second. Are all your clan members this strong?”“Many of them are strong, but those two are among the top,” replied Mina. “But however strong they may be
Dahlia looked badly beaten and wasn’t even conscious.“I wish I could kill her, but she’s a valuable test subject,” Molly tossed Dahlia aside and landed a few feet away from Rye. Her eyes glowed supremely red like never before. “I’m going to need you three to surrender.”“You…” Rye clenched her fists with effort even though she still felt like she needed some more time to recover.“H-How’s she able to fly without wings?” Akira looked utterly perplexed. Her slow-beating heart picked up pace pretty fast.“That doesn’t matter. I’m going to destroy her!” Rye leaped forth.“Wait!” Mina was saying, and something pierced her from behind. Rye stopped in her tracks and looked back. It was Akira who just dug her claws in through Molly’s chest. “W-What are you…”“Hahaha!” Molly laughed wildly.Mina coughed out blood as Akira pulled her hand out. “S-She awakened… her mind.”Rye was very much startled to hear that. The lessons she heard about vampires in the past came to her mind. A mind-awakening
In Origin casino.Charles Wallace, a famous gambler, who was currently playing poker, felt something stirring in his head.“What’s going on?” he muttered under his breath. “Are you doing something in my head, Fang?” he asked his ‘echo,’ but received no response.Suddenly, a terrible pain gripped his head. His eyes turned black against his will. His fangs grew. His claws protruded out through his fingers. He started screaming and began to attack everyone around him, starting with the hot ladies that were standing next to him.“Kyaa!” screams echoed everywhere as Carlos the Vampire had surfaced out and mercilessly bit, slashed, clawed and hurt different people in different ways.Blood sprayed everywhere in the casino as people fell to death left and right.In the Sterling Villa.Rebecca started running away at Louis’ warning, but Bella jumped at her before she could even leave the balcony. “No, Bella, wait!” Rebecca was saying, but Bella bit on her neck.However, Bella was soon electroc
A mighty white light came down from heaven and washed the whole world in a trice.In the Origin casino.Charles Wallace, a famous gambler, was still gambling and just won a game. He made 62,000 dollars with one game, and the women next to him began to drool over him all the more.In the Sterling villa.Louis and Bella were talking with Rebecca.“Do you really not know anything about Benjamin’s whereabouts? Or are you two purposely keeping things from me?” she asked them.“If we knew something, we would have told you, Rebecca,” Louis frankly told her. “If it was in my capability, I would have long gone to rescue Benjamin, whether you believe it or not.”Rebecca pursed her lips but didn’t say anything. She just looked into the distance toward the south. (Where are you Benjamin? When are you going to come back to me?)Somewhere else in the city.Samael was sipping on blood from a pristine cup on the fortieth floor of the building. He looked outside through the glass window. “Mm… why does
Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I’
“How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me. As a man, you should be able to do this muc
Kathy wanted to visit the mansion of the president to meet the president’s son, but she couldn’t go alone, so she took Amber with her. Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children. He also had some sexual scandals released to divert some of the attention.The public thought that it was the work of the media companies at first, but as the news channels began to give credit to Andrew Sehla the president, everyone wondered if Andrew was behind this.As if living up to the people’s expectations, Andrew made some politicians and celebrities
As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f
While Benjamin and Rebecca were about to go separate ways, Elizabeth came over to them.While smiling a bit awkwardly on the surface, she asked, “Brother Benjamin, my bank card is having some issues. Can you please pay for the piano? I’ll pay you the money soon as my bank issue gets resolved.”Rebecca’s eyes slightly widened because she had seen Elizabeth trick so many people with the similar tactic. In fact, Rebecca herself had fallen prey to this move a few times long ago.“No problem,” Benjamin took out a card. It was a platinum-coated card with the symbol of ‘W’ on it, made with diamonds.“Wow, are these real diamonds?” She was shocked. “What kind of bank gives these cards? I would like to have this, too.”“It’s a secret bank known as Eternity Bank, so it won’t be easy to get you one card, but I will try,” Benjamin told her.“Thank you. You really are so kind,” Elizabeth smiled happily. “May I know the password for this?”“It doesn’t have a password.”“Oh…” Elizabeth didn’t quite
Once Benjamin walked out of the room, Rebecca met him and asked in a low voice, “What did you tell him?”“I did what I could,” Benjamin shrugged. “I’m not sure how to handle this type of a situation, but I think it’s something he has to change from the inside. No matter how much we say, he won’t change unless that spark of change comes from within.”“So, we should just create an atmosphere that will make him self-realize and then get rid of his bad habit, huh.”“That would be anything but easy, though, because we never know what works and what doesn’t.”“You are right, but we can’t just give up on him. Even though I don’t like Elizabeth, I can’t ignore her kids who grew up right before my eyes,” Rebecca replied. “I told my brother to not give them mobiles when they’re young, as they might get addicted to games, which they did… But now, they are in that age where hormones will make them want to watch new things. If we let them get out of hand, they will be ruining their careers and thei
Benjamin closed Roshan’s eyes and showed him some of his memories.When Benjamin went to door-deliver pizza, a man was kicking his wife out for cheating on her. He married her even though she was a single mom, but just four months after their marriage, he found her cheating on him.There was another instant where Benjamin found the same girl on the same day in two different places, sleeping with two different guys, and she even asked Benjamin to fuck her on the stairs between the floors. She seduced him, but Benjamin scuttled away from her.After showing a series of troubles he came across on his job, he then showed the challenges he experienced every evening when Rebecca came to pick him up in her Porsche.Even though Benjamin was her husband, he would try to court his own wife by giving her flowers, or sweets, or a special pizza he personally made. He would praise her, saying he had never seen her use the rear-view mirror for applying lipstick like he had seen many other women do it
George saw Rebecca alone, waiting outside Roshan’s room. He used this opportunity to come up to her.“What are you doing here, Rebecca? Did Roshan cause some trouble again?” George was folding his sleeves. “Let me teach him a lesson.”“Stop!” Rebecca hit his shin bone with her foot. Because of her footwear, he cringed in pain. “Why do you assume things? I’m standing here just because I want to. Nothing else.”“You expect me to believe that?” George harrumphed. “You are such a bad liar. The day you brought some random guy into the house and said you loved him and married him, everyone else might have believed your words but I didn’t. There’s no way someone like you who’s so capable can fall in love, much less marry a pizza-delivery guy. Compared to him, I’m so much better!”“You are wrong, George,” Rebecca calmly and confidently replied. “Benjamin…” she lightly smacked her own head. “Ahem, I mean, Benyamin is a billion times better than you. He doesn’t bend his spine for money like you
Rebecca knocked on a door.“Who is it?” Roshan asked from the inside, a hint of anxiety in his voice.“It’s me,” Rebecca replied. “Open the door. I’ll just have a quick few words with you, that’s all.”“A-Aunt, I don’t want to talk to you right now,” Roshan replied. “Please go.”“I’ll talk with him,” Benjamin told her in a low voice. Rebecca then walked away and stopped at a certain distance.A minute later, Benjamin knocked on the door.“Hey, I’m Benjamin,” he said. “Can I talk to you?”“No, I’m busy right now,” Roshan answered.“It’ll only take a minute,” Benjamin persisted. “I won’t bother you afterward.”“Tsk,” Roshan, annoyed, walked over to the door.Benjamin knocked on the door again.Roshan quickly opened the door with a hostile look. “What?”Benjamin smiled and stepped closer and put his arm around Roshans’s shoulder. He then shut the door from behind him and even locked it without looking back.“W-What are you doing?” Roshan nervously asked.Even Rebecca, who was outside, co
