Arthur looked at the old man with a grin. He opened his arms widely.
" Old man, I thought you were hung up. Unexpectedly, you are still alive."
Whistler looked at Arthur with a smile. He ran towards them and hugged them.
" I am glad to see you."
Blade patted Whistler's back. He felt happiness from deep down of his heart. Whistler put them down.
Arthur teased him.
" Old man, you smell like a rat in the sewers."
Whistler waved his hand. He chuckled.
" I have been running from them. How can I get a luxury to shower?"
Blade didn't mind his smell. He said lightly.
" Do we have a new enemy?"
Whistler nodded. He recalled hideous faces of the new vampires.
" Yes, I saw them. They are far more powerful than normal. They have the same power like nobles."
Arthur raised his eyebrows. He laughed.
" Interesting. Should I bomb them in the sewers?"
Blade shook his head. He said seriously.
" No need. Besides, we have uninvited guests."
Arthur's eyes locked on the right side.
Crack*
He punched down the wall effortlessly. A disgusting white vampire like thing was in his hands. It was licking Arthur's arms.
Arthur looked at it with indifference. Blade said coldly.
" I have never seen anything like this before."
Kacha*
Arthur broke its neck. He threw him down to the ground.
" I have seen a creature like this. But, it hadn't mind like this thing."
Whistler looked at the corpse with disgust. He said calmly.
" Let's take this thing back. We need to study its body."
Arthur nodded. He snapped his finger and the corpse went into his pocket dimension. Whistler sighed with envy.
" As always, you surprise me."
One hour later.
They had reached the base. Arthur was looking at the corpse with various gadgets. He slightly zoomed his lens to see inside this thing. As for Whistler, he was arguing with Scud. Blade was talking with Karen.
Beep*
Suddenly, the computer signaled the enemy's approach. Arthur put down his scalp carefully. He threw his gloves and wiped his hand. Blade came to the display. He said with a poker face.
" What's going on?"
Scud said helplessly.
" Vampires. They are here."
Whistler cracked his neck.
" These bastards don't learn, huh. Well, do you have anything in your arsenal?"
Scud pushed his desk and pulled out the cart. He threw a brand new assault rifle to him.
" It is reloaded with silver bullets."
Whistler nodded with satisfaction. Scud looked at Arthur with a question mark.
" Do you need one?"
Blade directly shook his head. He knew about Arthur's cheat style.
" He doesn't need. Just, stay away from him."
Karen ran to them with a pant. She took a qq9 from the cart. Blade sighed and didn't push her away.
Whistler looked at the display. He shouted.
" They are going to cut our electricity."
Arthur smiled.
" Don't worry. I can use my light."
Swoon*
The light had been shut down completely. Arthur lifted his finger and a single flame came out. Arthur threw it to the ceiling.
Bang*
The flame expanded like it was a balloon.
Boom*
The door was detonated by the claymore. Blade pointed at the door and shot. The vampires didn't come in. Arthur narrowed his eyes as he used his observation haki. He was sure that they escaped from the explosion.
Arthur touched his chin with amusement. He pushed Blade's gun down. Blade showed a slight hesitation. Arthur gestured him to calm down.
Finally, the base fell into silence. Arthur yawned.
" Guests, come out. If you don't come out, I will have to use my force."
Then something strange happened. Vampires with swat like uniforms came out. The leader was a woman. She raised her hands up and said loudly.
" Your highness Arthur, we didn't know you were here. I apologize for my rude behavior."
Thud*
Arthur flew down them. The vampires didn't have courage to raise their heads because Arthur was using his superior bloodline coercion. He looked at the woman with interest.
" Interesting, why are vampires invading my friend's base?"
The woman trembled with fear. She felt like she was in a deep abyss. She answered.
" My name is Nyssa. I am here for the request of the council. We need assistance from the daywalker."
