"Try to concentrate. You can feel me."
"...That's…. Erm...a weird way to put it."
"If you fail then we will try with Green dragon," says Purple dragon who is leading the ceremony for Erin to connect their souls with hers.
Erin doesn’t know whether it’s going to work or not but there's no harm giving it a try. She recalls the blue dragon stating that if she can connect her soul even with one of them then they can easily transfer their energy to her, the similar power that she had used during her last battle. Erin couldn’t handle that abundant energy since she’s physically weak. Especially after Edward starts drinking her blood, she keeps feeling nauseous over time. However, she still can’t help but love him dearly. For some reason, Erin can feel the warmth of Edwa
"What're we going to ask him?" "What else? Of course, how to wake Erin up!" "That's all?! That damn old man is trying to kill his daughter! What about that, huh?" "We aren't sure about that yet." "Yeah, right!" Edward and Alan face outside the windows, ignoring one another when Kevin is quietly driving the car. He can't think of a way to break the awkward silence as if a cold war is going on. That's when he recalls an important matter that makes him ask Edward , "Sir, have you booked the tickets to Romania?" "...Yeah…" Edward politely replies while he quietly observes the scenery.
"This is so boring…" "Then why the hell are you here?" Tina scowls at Megan before striking her back with her piercing words, "Why?! Do I need your permission?" Megan stays quiet without answering it. She looks away from Tina who is glaring at her and writing a script in her head for the ongoing debate. Preparing herself well, Tina waits for Megan to talk back to her, but that fortunate moment never occurs. Because it gets interrupted by Ario. "Now, now, ladies! Beauties like you shouldn’t have catfights. Your charms are fading away in the process, don't you agree?" he says, hanging a sly smile on his face. "Who...the hell are yo
A while ago, Erin's room before she jumps into the fight…."What.…what's going on?!" Venessa asked Serena while trembling to death as she secured Erin's unconscious body in her embrace.The outcry of unknown beings and chaotic sounds coming from the first floor was causing her to shiver. However, Serena looked calm, focusing on something as her eyes shone brightly. She started to sweat profusely and answered in a quivery voice, "I~I don't… know!""What?""I...I mean...I can't read anyone’s mind! As if something is blocking the way…" after replying to Venessa, Serena immediately closed all the doors and windows of the room. Her weak body moved on its own and shaky hands tried to be as
"So, you're claiming that these monsters are the vampires who have gone missing?""Yes!"Ario’s solid response forces Megan to back off from the investigation. She stands beside Julius quietly as she runs again through the incident from earlier. Ian and other injured vampires are now receiving treatment, so the second floor is occupied. On the other hand, Erin and the others have captured the monsters that have attacked the mansion and caused chaos.While Ario is being thoroughly questioned after his proclamation that his missing clan members are among those beasts, Aidan is trying his best to cure the wounded ones. So far, Ario is at a disadvantage since those monsters are the reason behind this terrible situation. At least that's what Megan thought until her eyes met Oliver'
"No! Please, don't do it! Give me another chance." "Asking something impossible to a devil…Tch! I thought you had some sense, but I was mistaken." "I'm not ready. Please! This will be the last!" "Enough!" Orus doesn't give Uriel a chance to speak further. Unable to bear to see his failure with his own eyes, Uriel closes his eyes. But the shadows have witnessed everything. The way Orus spreads Uriel's mouth and enters his body is surprising enough for an old man to receive a heart attack. This scene is the worst of those horror stories that a baby hears from his mother at night. The walls can barely hide the terrifying screams from the vampires outside the room. Blood has coloured the floor red while Uriel keeps choking. His continuous coughing has covered the silent room into a hospital cabin. As if an old man is horribly sick! He grips his throat which is paining badly until Orus fully takes control over him. Uriel gets up carefully although his legs are giving up. Cracking
"My lord, are you sure you need these many vampires to catch a single one?" Raphael asks Rowan in wonder. Beside him stands a man whom he has never seen before. A weak figurine unlike any other vampire and a pale face like an almost dead vampire. His pale yellow hair shines brightly under the sunlight of the breaking dawn. He looks familiar and yet really far from recognising. 'Who is he?' Is the question that's creating a storm in Raphael's heart. He can't conclude why he's feeling this sense of kinship. However, he can sense the urge inside him to speak with that person which gets interrupted by Rowan. "Although you've got a point, Lord Raphael, you may not know about the allies of that rare vampire." "Allies?!" Raphael asks in wonder before continuing, "Is there a house that would oppose you, my lord? Who would dare!"
The clashing sound of swords is resonating in the air. Drake, Raphael's informer, is standing near to observe the practice under Raphael's instruction. He keeps yawning. Because he hasn’t missed a day watching the same swordplay and at one point it has become boring. So he keeps searching for something amusing while he tags along with his master. Although he had hope when Raphael received the black letter, it was a hollow one! The Count Lord has declared war against the rumoured rare vampire but there's no trace of bloodshed. Rather it seems to be like any other normal day under the scorching sun to pass by. At least that's what Drake has been thinking until he notices Kumo running among the soldiers. He has a terrified look on his face as if he has seen a ghost. A ghost in the broad daylight sure seems to be a funny topic, but not that interesting for Drake. He's about to ignore him
“Everything is going according to plan, miss.” “It’s too early to let our guard down. You both remember what to do, right?” Oliver and Ario nod their heads in reply to Erin’s question. Watching them synching, a soft smile appears on her face and yet it expresses anxiety and sadness. She tries to hide it away immediately but fails due to Ario’s sharp eyesight. Judging it from a vampire’s view, it’s hard for Ario to understand Erin’s feelings when it’s been some days for him observing her. They aren’t that close to each other to acknowledge their situations without expressing them. Although he’s a social person who can read a person like an open book, it’s somewhat different when it comes to Erin. It’s as if she has hidden behind a curtain that has drawn a line between them. Ario doesn’t know whether he has the right to pull her out of that small boundary or not, he decides to encourage her from the other side for now. Grabbing Erin’s hands which are gripping the bars tightly, Ario
Dracula Castle, Romania. A few days later after ending the war…The lords have gathered to discuss an important issue and that is “Who will be the next Count Lord?” Erin isn’t interested in it at all. She’s just happy to see Edward and others are fine. Even Ian has recovered from his injuries. So there’s no need to be getting involved furthermore after hearing the hateful words that are thrown at her. Moreover, some people don’t wish her to become their master. Erin glares at Raphael who can barely hold his grin. Uriel, the culprit behind this ruckus, is sitting beside him and grumbling about being chained. His punishment will be decided today. However, it doesn’t seem like he will be receiving the death penalty, thanks to certain someone. It doesn’t matter to Erin. Although she agrees with the fact that Uriel is the reason behind the war, she can’t shake off the feeling that her very existence is also a threat to the whole community. That’s why she has made up her mind! "My decis
-Howard’s dead! Do you realise what it means? He’s no longer with us! Will you take responsibility for him?... This! THIS WASN’T OUR FIGHT, TO BEGIN WITH! Why do we have to suffer? A man shouts in anger before he bursts into crying. Obviously, he’s frustrated as much as he’s sad about losing someone important to him. He wishes to keep complaining, but his words are getting stuck in his throat. Some comforting voices float around the air and make their way to Erin’s ears. She doesn’t know for how long she has been sleeping, but it feels like ages now that her muscles are sore. Although she can barely open her eyes, she tries to find out the owner of that angry voice. However, she fails repeatedly and gives up in the end. -Bill is right! We’re dragged into this mess when we aren’t supposed to be involved. A girl’s voice! It’s familiar and yet distant all of a sudden. Not long ago, this person was the one who stood up for Erin! Then…why is it sounding strange to her? After all, what’s
"Le..let me..GO!""Fufufu! How does it feel to get crushed on? Is it amusing?" Rowan, who is now possessed by Orus, gets closer to Erin's face which has turned red since she can't breathe. While trying her best to escape from his grip, Erin has no choice but to listen to his nonsense.Surprisingly, Rowan stops talking all of a sudden and keeps observing her before saying, "So weak! Can't think of a reason why you were chosen to bear the 'Dragon's fate'. So pitiful for someone who upholds both the power of God and the Devil. Tch!" "What's this stupid demon talking about?" Erin isn’t insane to wonder about such lousy conversation while her lifeline is about to get cut. She keeps thinking of a way to get out but finds none. Only the crazy laughter of Rowan rings in her ears as he exclaims in joy, "I'm feeling so good right now!" His grip becomes tighter than before as he sniffs Erin's neck in a swoop. "Delish!" "I sa...id...Fuck Off!" "SHHH!!!! Tch! Ahh...my ears! Can't you scream a
"Do you think they can handle it?" "You worry a lot, old man. Relax! Master can finish the enemy with one blow!" "If it was that easy, I wouldn't have worried about it." "Sheesh! It's hard to ensure you. Well, we'll see that for later. For now, I've to take you to a safe place. Otherwise, the master will kill me!" Bill runs faster towards the heart of the forest. Soon the battle ground vanishes from Julius's eyes as he looks back to monitor the situation and yet the sound of clashing swords isn't disappearing. As if the whole world is bearing witness to today's incident. Julius couldn't help it when he was forced to leave Edward's side. Rowan inflicted a heavy injury on him which almost caused him to faint due to loss of blood. The terror in Edward's eyes is unforgettable! Even his men were terrorized. Rowan was extremely powerful as if the news of him being sick was nothing but a nonsense spouted as a joke. His physical strength was surpassing the whole clan. It was nothing li
"This is getting out of hand!""We should lure them towards the open field. The training ground is narrow enough to make moving hard for us.""But what to do about this rapid fire?!" Ario shouts in irritation. He can barely block the bullets with a thin shield and yet he's trying his best. The two other men are also struggling. Erin can't blame them when she isn’t even in shape to fight anymore. Rather, she says, "I've got an idea. Let's split! One party will distract them while the other makes a run for the field."After a small pause, Ario replies with a soft nod, "Sounds great to me. I'll help you to climb.""No, wait!" Erin disrupts Ario who is about to pick her up and suggests, pointing at the two men, "Let them move before us."The two men seem bewildered. However, there's no time to spare in argument. They both agree immediately and make a long jump for the roof while Ario and Erin are backing them up. The enemies are trying to corner them more than before. Due to the lack of
"Lan! Is there any way where I can kill Orus without harming him?" "Not that it's impossible, but you’re not capable of pulling that off yet." "Meaning?" "Simple! Without the help of Mandira, you can't do it." Erin recalls her time when she was stuck in that endless world. Among those seven dragons, Mandira was the one who didn’t have any kind of supernatural power that could be seen and yet her power surpassed others. She's a dragon who uses her powers through tarot cards. It may seem funny but she has the ability to see the opposite side of her cards and pull out a suitable one. Her dragon powers are installed in those cards, so she can make wishes come true by using them. Erin had the opportunity to witness her power. Unlike Orus or other people who can manipulate someone with the help of words or other means, Mandira is unable to do that. When she learnt that her powers didn’t have any physical form, she tried the tarot cards as an easy means. Her mother was a gypsy and she u
“Whoa, what’s that?” “Is that Lord Uriel? Why’s he flying?!” “Don’t tell me! After Master Rowan, now another legend?” “Unlike the master, his wings are so black and shiny. Just like a bat. Isn’t that gorgeous?” “Yeah! But, doesn’t he look kind of different than usual? Is he the one who just broke the underground dungeon where that woman is kept?” “You bet!” “What could he be doing there?” “Don’t know, but…Something doesn’t feel right.” The castle guards are fussing
"My lord, you should leave now. There's a hidden door behind the second staircase which will lead you to the secret dungeon." Oliver whispers to Edward while fighting nearby. He further assures, "We'll be watching your back. So, hurry!" Edward grins at him. Taking his last line as a joke, he says, "Rather watching my back, you should hold your men at first. You look like you’re struggling quite a bit here to need my men's support." Oliver can't believe Edward acting arrogantly when someone's life's in jeopardy. He remembers a saying, "Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand" and it truly applies to him. Unfortunately, he can't say it to his face! Composing himself, Oliver politely replies to Edward, "My lord, you’re right. I'm unworthy and that's why I need some time to strengthen the bond between me and my men. Would you kindly
“Where did I keep it?”“Hurry up, Oliver!!”“Can’t you shut your mouth for a while?”“TCH!”Keeping the door slightly open, Ario gets out of the room to guard it. Thankfully, everyone is busy discussing the rare vampire that they don’t have the time in hand to look after the castle. The rummaging sound through the papers is irritating Ario, but he can’t make a sound while Oliver is busy looking for the documents. They’re from Willow who is known as Uriel’s informer. Or maybe was! He’s missing since Oliver left the castle, not even a trace of his dead body!It’s surpris
