There was an open window in our floor's hallway which was always open for some reason I never got but it was a lot more convenient this way. The cameras in the building were only on the floors below and the entrance so I can come and go without being noticed.
Crouching down at the window sill, I kicked it off and launched up in the air seeing the full moon shining brightly in the night. I kept jumping over buildings until I reached the club where the incident happened which was still sealed off since the police had no idea what actually happened. I remember seeing some posts on the net claiming that it was a vampire who did it but they had no proof to back up their claims so most of them were just ignored.
I remembered I went to the Koto area before so should I try Chiyoda? It is a lot more populated area but I remember that the warehouse I found had the presence of vampires but it was a little old meaning they changed their hideouts. Since Chiyoda has more people, maybe that is why they changed their hideout to find prey easier.
Even if they are strong creatures, vampires are pretty secretive beings and do not like to be brought out in the spotlight. That is because once that happen, the people would start hunting them more. There is already an organization of people who do it but that is a rather small group. The number of vampires to the number of humans is really small so being out in the spotlight is not the best thing for them to do. The first was the one who came up with the rule.
While thinking this, before I realized it, I was already in the Chiyoda area standing on top of a building in Akihabara. Closing my eyes and heightening my senses further, I found hear all of them at once. Heartbeats of everyone present there. I could even smell most of them. Male blood, female blood, and even children's blood.
Vampires' heartbeat and smell are slightly different from that of a human but they could not be easily detected by a normal human. No, I don't sense any-
"What is that?" I muttered as a very high-pitched heartbeat was being heard by me.
There were one, two, three…
"Isn't hiding fifty-seven vampires pretty hard?"
Looks like they were hiding in the abandoned church near the hills. Strange right? Vampires in a church. But things like cross don't do shit to those assholes. They were never able to because these creatures were man-made.
But fifty-seven vampires was really a big number and I cannot think of a way to kill them all at once. I could also feel the presence of a noble vampire amongst them right in the middle. It was a female vampire who was more than four hundred years old. Now, we can be in big trouble.
Judging them only by age, I could take out more than half of them pretty easily but there were fifteen which looked a little bothersome excluding the noble. A vampire could tell just by the heartbeat and breathing how strong another vampire is and also their age. With their ages increasing, the beating of the heart starts getting slower and slower meaning they would have a lot less blood lust than other like critters. Their heartbeats are a really fast speed.
My instincts kicked in and I jumped evading a strike aiming at my legs. Turning around, I looked at the person who was attacking me and it was a novice vampire. I frowned looking towards him not because of how weak he was but because of the others behind him. They must be getting back after a hunt. They reeked of blood all over them.
"Now what do we have here," the one who attacked me said. He had blonde hair and red eyes which were shining. He had an arrogant grin on his face which irritated me.
"Wow, we didn't know that chicks would be standing up so high here. Be careful or someone might push you down sweetie," a female vampire with shoulder-length brown hair emerged from behind the novice. She was older than the novice.
"I can say the same to you old hag," I said in a mocking tone.
A vein popped up on the woman's forehead when I called her old hag. Looks like she is one of those who hates when someone comments on their looks. An easy target to deal with.
She raised her hand and about ten vampires came from behind her. Twelve novice vampires with ages ranging from eighty to a hundred years. This seems easy enough. I will be able to kill them pretty quickly.
"You will regret saying that bitch. Boys, teach this bitch a lesson," she said as the vampires stepped forward ready to leap at me.
All of them looked at me with a lustful expression which honestly really infuriated me. Just seeing their ugly faces looking at me makes me want to rip their head off slowly while hearing them shout and beg for mercy. I killed one vampire like this too, let's see who will die this way.
"Ma'am can we capture her and have some fun with her?" asked one while staring at me intensely.
"Sure, in fact, the person who captures her can keep her for himself. Do whatever you want to do with her, kill her, torture her, assault her, I don't care but make her suffer," the woman said.
The novices cheered in glee making me look at them in disgust. Not waiting anymore, I moved quickly cutting off the head of one vampire and driving the stake in another's heart. Taking it out, I stabbed it in the heart of the beheaded vampire and before anyone knew it, there were two dead vampire bodies lying there disintegrating. Honestly, they are too weak to even compare to me. I have killed many hordes of these bastards that I don't even feel like I have done something amazing. I just felt nothing, just pure emptiness.
Glaring coldly at the other novices who quickly to a step back gulping after seeing the scene unfold before them. A half-vampire's heartbeat does not change from that of a normal human so they probably thought I was only a thirty-year-old novice. Too bad for them I guess.
I did not have time for small fry for them so let's get this over with quickly.
"What are you doing? Kill her!" shouted the girl after which her head fell off.
I held it by her hair and then picked it up staring at it. She had a shocked expression on her face and her body was trying to retrieve the head but it was far too slow and weak.
"Let's see who is the one being killed," I said and stabbed her heart with the stake.
"ARGH!!"
With one last cry, her body fell down and I threw her head at the feet of the novices. They stared at the head and then at me and I could see it now. The fear in their eyes was immense. Most of them were trembling and I could see the others who were not were just trying to keep a straight face.
Pathetic.
I took a step forward and they took a step backward. I kicked off the ground rushing at them quickly and stabbed one novice in the heart and ripped off the arm of the one near him making him scream in pain. I am pretty sure that all this noise could be heard clearly even in the crowded area of Akihabara. Peeking down, I could see the crowd stop and trying to look up and see what was going on. Let's get this over with quickly.
I did not take much time and knocked out two novices with the arm and stabbed the hearts of the two in quick successions. Taking the stake out, I threw it at the owner of the hand making him fall down the building and turn into dust midair. A cheer was heard from below. Looks like they think that an act is going on but then again, anything can happen here.
Five novices were left and they all tried to flee. I followed them and jumped up getting down on one and stabbing him in the from behind. The rest four were going in different directions. I think they don't know this place very well but I don't need to do that since it was pretty troublesome.
I jumped over the buildings and thought about how they would move, they would all regroup at this place and as I thought, after a minute, all of them were there staring at me in pure shock and fear.
"Now, now boys. Don't be afraid," I said in a mocking tone. "It will just hurt at first and after that, you will see another world so stay put."
Putting more emphasis on "stay put", I saw all of their feet stiffen and they could not move.
Command.
It is a power with which one lets out their entire killing intent and makes their prey do as they say. It was something that many noble vampires use to control the novices who go against their masters. I remember one noble that I killed was in the middle of telling his slaves to go and get him some good blood using command. All their bodies were shivering and there was pure fear in all their eyes.
Disappearing from my spot, I stabbed the novice on the left, and taking the stake out, I threw his body at the blondie. Coming in impact with the body, he fell down and he was so scared that no sound was coming out of his mouth. These were the bastards that were sent to find Kazu-kun.
Not wasting any more time on him. I proceeded to behead and stab the other two in one clean movement making them fall down on their knees before they turned into dust.
I looked back at the blondie and he was shivering in fear. Slowly walking towards him, he was trying to get away but had his back against the wall. He tried to leap over by slowly standing up.
"Don't. You. Fucking. Dare."
He stopped in his track and I stood before him looking down at him. He was drenched in a cold sweat and he did not stop shivering in fear.
"Where is that arrogant smile now?" I asked him coldly but he did not say anything. "Speak when I ask you to!" I shouted piercing my hand towards his stomach making him scream in pain.
"Please…for…give…me"
"Oh no, no, no, no, no. This was not what I was asking," I said and twist my hand which was already in his stomach. "Are you fucking deaf? Okay, answer this question. Why were you sent out?"
"W-we were sent…to go and…kidnap this kid…I don't know why we were told so but…we never found him. His scent was…not detectable at all."
As I thought, they were sent to get Kazu-kun but is noble that stupid that she would send some weak vampires to come to kidnap Kazu-kun? No, I don't think so.
I closed my eyes and heightened my senses and felt that some presences from the mountain were no longer there and they were coming…
"Gaah!"
This time, I did not have enough time to react and I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Looking down, there was a hand that went through it with its nails sharp as a knife. I felt five stronger presence from behind me. They were novices too but much older than the ones I fought right now.
I felt a sharp pain in my neck and I could feel my blood starting to be sucked off my neck.
How dare they do this!
I stabbed the person in the chest quickly making them leave my neck and retract his steps. The bite mark on my neck started to heal but the one on my stomach is still not healing properly. I did not have enough blood to heal it and defeat them at the same time. I need to finish this quickly.
"As Shina-sama thought. The boy won't be able to stop the girl from going out. Just makes our job easier," the novice before me said. Wait, what?
"Oh look at the confused look at the poor girl's face. Looks like she didn't know. How will she? She is too dumb."
"She is a freak so this is expected of her."
"She killed Tatsuya! Is no one angry about this?!"
"Oh don't worry Narumi, we will avenge hi-"
Before the novice could complete his sentence, I stabbed him in the heart and kill him instantly. Never take your eyes off your enemy in a battle.
With the new confusion created, I took this chance to quickly kill the other two leaving the two novice vampires and the blondie. Even if they were stronger, they were only two hundred years old. Not a problem for me. I have killed even older ones.
I leaped at the blondie and dug my teeth in his neck drinking his blood. While it won't heal my wounds, it will be able to increase my physical abilities. I can only extract both the benefits from human blood.
After feeling that I had enough of his disgusting blood, I quickly stabbed him in the heart and he fell down. I glared coldly at the other two forgetting the pain that I was feeling in my stomach and jumped kicking the girl in the face and stabbing the other in the heart. The girl's body flew a great distance and landed two buildings away. I jumped high in the air and landed on top of her.
Crack
I broke her arm.
"Ahh!!"
"Tell me why you were sent here," I asked her in a cold voice.
She did not say anything…
Crack
…so I broke her other arm.
"AHHH!"
"Tell me," I asked yet again.
"T-to…come and kill you…so we can…get the boy…easily."
"Did you go to his house first?"
"N-no."
"Hmm, is there anyone else on the hunt with you? Any other team," I asked her but she shook her head. "I see, thank you for your cooperation."
"Wh- no, no, no, n-"
I stabbed her in the chest making her silent. Standing up, I winced in pain and placed my hand on my stomach seeing my blood still flowing out. The wound was not healing quickly so I needed it, I needed blood.
Kazu-kun's blood.
