Chereads / Rise of The Crimson Empire! / Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

Chapter 10 - Chapter 9

*yawn* well morning everyone it's a new day and I'm finally feeling all refreshed after a couple days of rest. Maybe it was a slight case of overworking myself that I felt weird.

Oh well, anyways I'll just get straight to the point. Yes I reached level twenty and yes I did gain a skill that was suited to my race. In fact it's a pretty amazing skill that I got, I was very pleased with it and it had made me much stronger than before.

Because of my race being a vampire we are known as a race that dwells within the dark. Now although we don't have a weakness against sunlight we do against light magic which is why we are and will be considered a race that dwells in the dark.

So anyways I got with my advancement to level 20 an affinity to dark magic that essentially allows me to become the perfect assassin. I'm telling you if I had this in my last life I would have soooo much more free time. The affinity with dark magic obviously comes with skills and seeing as it is maxed level as well I am able to do some pretty insane stuff.

Here's just some of the things I can do:

-Become one with shadows (Hide in shadows and so on)

-Shadow movement which is the ability to move between shadows (very fast)

-Dark pressure (Unique to her race) allows to exert pressure to the surroundings causing the areas of effect under pressure to turn pitch black even in broad daylight.

-And many more

Sooo yeah pretty powerful right? What, you thought this was going to take till chapter 200 for me to become goddess level powerful or to finally grow a backbone? No is the answer.

Moving on after my advancement and break I am currently still travelling the 'lost continent' with Sylvie to sightsee and get even stronger. Stronger the better right? I'll become so strong that even gods and goddess will bow down to me. Hehehe I can't wait.

-Iris although you look beautiful with a smile on your face could you not smile and laugh while stabbing a Lightning sliver wolf please? You look like a maniac.

Well I guess I should turn it down a touch, after hearing Sylvie's words it kind of brought me back to reality but I'm still going to drink this things blood. I mean it's quite delicious and it also tried to ambush me while I was taking a p... I mean while I was going to the ladies room. Which is just a bush out here but you get the gist of this. I kinda got told (demanded) to act more ladylike by Sylvie.

It scared me badly, luckily I was already going to the toilet or that could have been embarrassing. But for scaring me I may have gone slightly crazy and may or may not have turned it into a bloody mess that looked like it took multiple gun shots.

Well after I had my fun (revenge) I had my meal and I got cleaned up by Sylvie's magic. Sylvie has an affinity with water and ice magic so it's pretty convenient even for day to day things.

Right now me and Sylvie are resting at a temporary camping spot so that we can rest and then move on. Sitting here listening to the sounds of the forest and the wildlife is quite relaxing and brings peace to ones mind. However I can't help but notice Sylvie who keeps glancing my way every so often. It seems she has something to say to me but I won't push her.

After a couple more minutes of resting is seems that Sylvie has resolved her self and may ask me something. For some reason though I'm becoming nervous and can't sit still. Has she noticed?

-Iris there's something I want to talk about... I need to tell you something.

Oh well here it is. I'm getting nervous and I can't keep my mind calm. Whats wrong with me? I attempt to calm down as I meet my eyes with Sylvie's as she looks at me with determined eyes.

-Iris ever since I met you I have had this warm feeling inside my chest whenever I see or are near you. I think you are a beautiful girl inside and out.

At this point my palms are getting sweaty and I am trying harder to control my breathing and heart. My heart is beating so fast that I'm wondering if Sylvie could somehow hear it.

-When I first saw you it was like I had seen a goddess herself and it felt like Lightning ran through my body. So um... I... what I'm trying to say is *BOOM!* wha?!

What the f**k was that boom?! It just sounded like Sylvie was getting to the good part but something interrupted us. Searching around me, me and Sylvie both notice the cloud of smoke rising from the direction of the coast.

Quickly we both ran to the coast to see a full scale navel battle between a fleet and what looks to be Wyverns bombarding the ships. I turned to Sylvie to ask her what she knows but when I saw the expression is was like staring a devil in the face. She seemed p****d and was ready to join the battle and kill everyone one there.

I eventually asked her what was going on and why she seemed so angry at them. Does she know these people? Are they enemies of hers? If so an enemy of Sylvie's is an enemy of mine.

-Iris these people from what I can tell by the emblems of their uniform and the way they look I believe these to be the Holy kingdom and the demon empire. For the reason I am angry I will explain later when I pick up the conversation we were having earlier. For the time being I believe you should be able to gain some followers here no? When you do send them to that palace you were building.

Hmmm I'm not quite sure why she is so angry nor do I understand why she would suggest I take advantage of this moment to gain followers to send back to the palace but I'll do what she says. As I observed the battle I had noticed that the Holy kingdom has some questionable cargo on board that they were using as shields (bait) against the wyverns.

They had various races with collars around their necks and they were being held up by the Holy kingdoms soldiers as temporary shields. I for one couldn't stand that especially so when they were using people that looked no older than 12. There were various races that looked far too weak to help them self's. They ranged from dwarfs, to elf's, to beast kin and so on.

I know I'm cold hearted and was someone who has killed countless people in my other life. I shouldn't really and to be honest don't really pity anyone from back then. Even more so I feel a greater lack of guilt or pity now that I'm not even human but as Sylvie had said I should use this chance to get more followers. And if I could 'rescue' someone convincing them to stay with me as a follower will be so much easier than those racists who act as soldiers.

So without further delay I grew a pair of wings and propelled myself to the closest ship which had surprised everyone onboard. But I wasn't here for a cup of coffee I was here to have a blood bath. These 'things' that don't even deserve to be called humans shall remember this as the day they met a goddess (Devil) that rules all hehehe.
