Chapter 197: Isn't That Too Easy?
[A/N: Happy New Year, boys, and girls. Thank you so much for the support you have given me over the past year, I hope you will continue to support me!]
....
As Victor sat on his ice throne, he looked around to observe the fruit of his actions. His glowing red eyes solemnly reflected the burning city, all while he wore a serene face.
A completely calm, unreadable face.
If people who knew Victor saw his face now, they would undoubtedly feel a little chill course through their spine, as they weren't used to seeing such serenity in his countenance.
They would definitely be asking themselves, 'What is he thinking?'
The answer to that question would be…
Nothing.
His brain was completely empty, like a blank page.
Victor wasn't thinking about anything, and that would scare them even more because they knew something.
Victor was like a force of nature, he was unpredictable, and when he thought about nothing, the next actions he tended to take usually meant someone was going to die.
Maybe a person.
Maybe a group of people.
Maybe a country?
They couldn't know. But one thing was certain, someone was going to die.
"Darling, what are you thinking?" Violet asked curiously. She wasn't feeling any from Victor's connection, and, because of that, she had found this situation a bit odd, so she asked him that.
"Nothing." He was honest. He really wasn't thinking about anything.
"..." Violet was silent while she seemed to be thinking about something, but then her thoughts faded when she felt Victor's caress on her head. She felt so peaceful when he did that to her.
Victor stopped looking at the burning city and looked to a certain spot.
Rumble, Rumble!
A golden beam appeared where he was looking, and soon Sasha could be seen.
"Darling... Violet..." Her eyes seemed to glow a little blood red when she saw the position Victor and Violet were in:
"You guys need to see this." She had a completely serious face. It was quite impressive how she could hide what passed over her face in less than a few seconds.
"…" Victor and Violet looked at each other, and then they both nodded.
"Okay." They said at the same time.
Violet elegantly got off of Victor's lap.
Victor rose from his throne and looked at the burning city, 'I must resolve this, or the fire will continue to grow.' he pointed his hand towards the city.
The magic circle of Victor's gloves started to glow like crazy as he used a power he rarely saw a need to use.
Particles of water began to gather in Victor's hand, and slowly, a small ball of water formed.
This little water ball started to grow and grow, and soon a gigantic water ball was being held by Victor.
Victor threw water into the city sky.
When the water ball reached a height that Victor thought would be appropriate, he clenched his fist as he said,
"Explode."
BOOOOOOM!
And just as he had, said a small explosion happened, and soon it started to rain all over the abandoned city.
"...This is fucking bullshit." Violet and Sasha said at the same time since they didn't even have the words to express what they were feeling right now.
And to be honest, they also completely forgot that Victor could use the power of water.
'Oh, Ruby can too.' Violet thought.
Although the way Ruby used her water power more as a support for the ice power.
...
Violet and Sasha ventured underground again, this time with Victor in tow.
"...Hmmm...Should I jump into the hole now?" He looked at the hole in the ground with a knowing look. He could understand that this was the remnants of the attack he threw a few moments ago.
"Yes, Ruby is waiting for us downstairs," Sasha spoke.
"Okay…" With no hesitation on his face, Victor took a step forward into the air above the crevice, and quickly gravity began to do its work.
Violet followed Victor's example and, mimicking his actions, casually stepped over the edge and allowed gravity to pull her after her darling.
Rumble, Rumble.
Sasha's covered herself in lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared, leaving behind golden trails of lightning.
As he fell towards the ground, Victor crossed his arms and thought, 'Why is this hole so deep?'
And at the moment when he said that, he could see a small light approaching from the ground, showing he was arriving at his destination.
When he was just inches from impacting the ground when he suddenly stopped in midair and then landed softly on the ground.
He looked around and realized the whole place was frozen. He looked down a little bit and realized the hole still continued much deeper into the earth but was covered by a thick layer of ice connecting with the floor of the level he stopped on, presumably to prevent people from falling into the endless hole?
'My wife's work...' Victor thought when he saw that the whole place was frozen, she was the only one here currently, besides him, who had the power to do something like that.
Victor looked up, his eyes glowed a slight blood red, and then he held out his arm.
Suddenly, a small woman with long white hair, moving like a rocket, landed in his arm.
BOOOOM!
Crack, Crack!
A small cobweb-shaped crater was created around Victor when Violet fell into his arms.
As expected from Clan Scarlett's ice power, even with this level of force, the ground didn't crack much. If it was on dry land, he was 100% sure that an even bigger hole would be created.
"Couldn't you slow yourself down with your firepower?" Victor asked in curiosity.
"I could…" Violet knew that she could have used her power as a way to slow her down.
"…But I knew you were going to catch me, right? Darling." She flashed a seductive smile that slightly scratched Victor's heart.
"..." A small smile appeared on Victor's face, and he said, "Of course."
"Hehehe~." She exhibited a sneaky little smile.
Victor found Violet's smile very beautiful now.
"Hmm…" Victor looked up again.
"…" Violet suddenly started to move, and she quickly left Victor's arms.
Victor extended his arms again.
A small golden bolt appeared, and soon the appearance of Sasha being held by Victor was seen.
Victor flashed a teasing little smile:
"...You could have gotten here before us, right?" Since, as a user of the power of lightning, he was pretty sure she could get there before them.
Sasha's cheeks turned a little red with embarrassment, and she said,
"Shut up..." As she hugged him to hide her blush.
A small, gentle smile appeared on Victor's face since he could easily tell what she wanted.
She wanted to be pampered! She wanted attention!
"Hahaha~, my wife is so cute..." He hugged Sasha tighter..." A small smile appeared on Sasha's face. She wouldn't deny that when she saw Violet sitting on Victor's lap and enjoying his caress, she felt a little jealous. She wanted that too!
"... You done?" Suddenly a cold voice can be heard.
Victor, Violet, and Sasha look in the direction of the voice, and they see Ruby wearing a lab uniform. She has little red glasses on her face, and her red hair is tied back in a ponytail.
She looked very professional.
"You look beautiful in this uniform, Ruby."
"..." Ruby adjusted her glasses up and said:
"Thank you, Darling." Despite speaking in a cold tone, her cheeks were a little red.
"... Anyway." Ruby turned when she saw the small smile on Victor and Violet's faces, and she could even see Sasha wearing a teasing smile.
"Come." She started walking towards a place.
Victor put Sasha down, and soon the three started following Ruby.
As they walked through the hallways, Victor could see people transformed into macabre ice statues that had small cuts on their necks, and some had a hole in their chest.
With only the remnants of battle, Victor could understand what happened. It was quite simple actually.
'Ruby froze everything, and Sasha killed them all with her unnatural speed.' Victor looked at the cuts and realized it was made by a small blade, maybe a dagger?
Passing through the corridor full of statues, the group arrived in front of a laboratory.
Ruby took a card from her pocket and turned to look at the group:
"Before you go in, put on that mask." She pointed to some masks used to filter several substances and chemicals from the air.
Sasha was the first to move and put on the mask, and soon Victor and Violet followed after.
Victor and Violet were having second thoughts, they wanted to ask questions, but they decided to hold back for now.
After all, Ruby doesn't do anything useless.
"Good." Ruby exhibited a small smile, then put on a mask as well.
"…" Why are you acting like you own the place?
Violet really wanted to talk about it right now, but she was silent and walked in with Victor.
And when entering the place, she saw something strange.
"…bodies inside a tube? Is that what you wanted to show us?" Her voice came out a little weird due to the mask.
"..." Ruby and Sasha were silent, and they didn't answer Violet's question, as they just kept looking at Victor with curious eyes.
"..." Violet narrowed her eyes a little, and then she looked at Victor.
"Hmm..." Victor walked towards the beings that were inside the capsules that had a strange green liquid.
He saw that on one side of the room, there were only men, and on the other side of the room, there were only women, and the count was the same for both genders.
Six women and six men.
Victor saw a strange number on top of each of the capsules.
"F-061." Victor's eyes narrowed, then he looked at another capsule and looked at the top.
"F-068."
"F-039"
.
.
.
.
.
All capsules appeared to have an identifying code name at the top, but the numbers did not appear to be in order. Some were higher, while others were lower.
"... That way of naming them..." Violet opened her eyes a little as she seemed to understand something.
"Yes, it's the same as the information from that man we captured."
"An identification number, they are categorizing by specimens," Victor spoke in a neutral tone that contained disgust.
"Yes." Ruby nodded.
Victor's eyes begin to glow blood red, and he glared at every being in the room and noticed something:
"They are all mongrels."
"Yes." Ruby nodded and added:
"Although they are all failed experiments."
"What do you mean?" Victor didn't understand.
"They are dead," Ruby spoke.
"Huh?" Victor didn't understand. After all, from what he could see, they were all still alive.
Normally when a creature dies, Victor couldn't see anything anymore, it's like the creatures have become part of the red 'world' he sees.
Ruby elaborated further, "They're in an unconscious state, but if you wake them up...well, they're going to die, it is like a vegetative state."
"For now, I just know that the green liquid is what keeps them alive."
"And that the 'F' series of experiments were completely unusable because of an unknown complication."
"The result of mixing the species, huh?" Sasha spoke.
"Yes." Ruby nodded.
"...What do you mean about a series of experiments?" Victor asked.
"The experiments seem to be divided into levels..." Ruby grabbed a report from a table near one of the pods. This was the document she was reading when she heard the noise of Victor, Violet, and Sasha arriving.
"The levels are based on the potential of the specimen, the level is divided into B, C, D, E, F, and Z being the lowest, and the weakest and least mutated, and the B being the strongest."
'... Was that priest the strongest?... Of course not, the document is out of date...' Victor immediately noticed an incongruity in the information.
"..." Ruby flashed a small satisfied smile when she saw Victor's face of accomplishment, she could more or less understand what he was thinking, and that made her happy.
Her husband was quite a battle maniac, but at least he could use his brain!
Ruby passed the sheet, and a document with Zandriel's photo was shown.
…
..
.
"Experiment Z-000: Codename Zandriel: The first human/vampire to survive the empowerment experiment.
Personality: He is very religious.
Mutation Status: Failure, he only inherited the basic powers of the noble vampires.
Lifespan: Unknown, but estimations show that, due to failure, it is predicted he will die in a few weeks.
Note: Human blood is not compatible with vampire blood. The two cannot mix properly, and something must be done..."
…
..
.
"..." Violet, Sasha, and Victor were silent while they seemed to be thinking about something.
Ruby threw the report on the table.
"It was from this place that that man who attacked Kaguya and ambushed Sasha came."
...
Chapter 198: Where Is He!?
"…" An uncomfortable silence fell in the room as everyone was processing the words Ruby spoke.
Victor looked at the experiments and spoke.
"Burn it all."
"Huh...?" Ruby didn't expect this answer from Victor.
Sasha and Violet stop thinking about something and look at Victor.
"Or take it all." Victor looked at Ruby and said:
"Choose."
"...Huh?" Why is he giving the decision to me? Ruby did not understand what was going on.
"My honey. You found it, so you decide the fate of this place." Victor spoke in a heavy tone that held no emotion.
"..." Ruby opened her mouth a little in shock. She didn't expect him to leave the decision in her hands.
"This place..." Victor looked around, his eyes glowing blood red, "It disgusts me."
"If it was me, this place would already be destroyed, but..." Victor looked at Ruby again:
"You must decide that."
"...I..." Ruby seemed to be hesitating a bit, things were moving too fast, and she didn't have time to process the best decisions.
"..." Victor displayed an imperceptible small smile when he saw Ruby thinking.
"No need to think too much, Honey. Do you want this place or not?" He hurried her a little.
"...I want..." She looked at Victor, "This place is interesting..." She was honest.
"Tell me your thoughts. Why do you want this place?" Victor asked as he stared into Ruby's eyes.
"…I want to…" Ruby swallows hard since, for some reason, she found this all very difficult to say, "I want to know more about the research of these hybrids. And, by studying about it, I can avoid someone using your blood as an experiment. I want a base of operations in the human world, a place where I can do whatever I want."
Victor exhibited a small, gentle smile:
"So Be it." Victor takes off his protective mask.
"Darling!? Don't do that, this place might have some viruses that can affect vampires!" Ruby warned Victor
"I have a bad feeling about this…" Violet suddenly spoke as she looked at Victor.
"...?" Sasha and Ruby didn't understand why Violet said that.
A small flame is created in Victor's hand, and soon he says:
"Explode."
"Wha-," The explosion Ruby had been expecting didn't happen, and instead,
A small eruption of heat rose in the air and seemed to burn off all the 'air' in the place.
Victor points his hand at the ceiling and freezes the lab's fire systems.
"Done." Soon, he looks towards the laboratory.
"...As usual, he is casually doing ridiculous things," Ruby spoke as she understood what Victor had just done. He just purified up and burned all the 'air'.
"Having all of our powers is also a great injustice, it's like the union of our clans." Sasha pouted.
"But… This is our Darling!"
"Indeed." The three spoke at the same time.
Victor's eyes glow blood red:
"My Maids."
The moment he said that, his shadow grew, and soon three women wearing Maid uniforms stepped out of his shadows.
"Master." The three spoke at the same time.
Victor pointed to the spot, "Take everything of value, take all specimens, take all documents, everything my wife decides is important should be transported to my basement."
"...Wha-," Bruna was speechless with Victor's request, wasn't that a very irrational request!?
"Yes, Master." Eve and Kaguya spoke at the same time.
"Fast!" Bruna was impressed with the girls' response speed.
Eve didn't quite understand Victor's purpose, but she would do as he asked.
And Kaguya would just do what Victor asked. After all, a Maid must fulfill all the selfish wishes of the master.
Victor reaches into his pocket and pulls out a card.
"How do I use this?" Victor spoke as he looked at Violet.
Violet opened her eyes a little since she had forgotten about June's card.
"...Just call her name, she'll show up with some bullshit magic."
"Okay..." Victor pretended he understood, but he didn't understand at all. What do you mean just call her name?
Victor looks at the golden card and says:
"June, I have a job that will make you money-." He didn't even have to finish his sentence and then:
Fushhhhhhhh
A large magic circle appeared in front of Victor, and soon a woman with long black hair and golden eyes appeared.
"Hey, Hey, Hey~. I hear you have a job for me!?"
"What services of this humble witch of greed can satisfy Count Alucard's desire?" She bowed with a noble gesture.
"It's simple. Take everything of value, take everything my wife says is useful and transport it to my basement. My Maids will help you in the process."
"You can do it?"
"Oh... I see, I see, I see." June looked around with her eyes shining while she seemed to be assessing the place.
"It's easy, I'll just need to destroy some annoying enchantments, and voilà, I can take it all."
"Good." Victor turns and walks towards the exit:
"Violet and Sasha."
"Darling?"
"When they finish..."
"Nuke this place."
"...Huh?" They don't understand anything. What did he mean by Nuke in this place!? They don't have an atomic bomb, you know!?
"W-Wait, Darling, I want this place-."
"I won't allow it." Victor looked at Ruby with his eyes glowing blood red.
"Eh?"
"I won't leave my beloved wife in this lair reeking of dogs and mongrels, the basement of my house is a cleaner place, just get everything important, and Nuke this place."
"..." Why does he sound like a thief!? And more importantly, what is this Nuke story!?
'Darling... He's a tsundere, huh? He just doesn't want to be away from me!' Ruby exhibited a small, gentle smile.
"Master... How are they going to nuke this place?" Eve asked curiously.
Nod, Nod!
Sasha, Violet, and Bruna seemed to nod their heads furiously since they wanted to understand this as well.
Victor looked at his Maid, "...My Maid, Eve. Don't you understand that?"
"I do not understand." She responded with the same neutral tone as she continued to look at Victor.
"I see..." Victor exhibited a small smile, "Then I'll teach you."
"Gather all the chemicals in this place, in one location." Victor started making hand gestures as if he were teaching a child.
"When everyone is away from this place, Violet will just set everything on fire, and…"
"And...?"
"BOOOM."
"This whole place is going to be destroyed," Victor explained with an innocent smile.
"…" What is this shitty explanation!? That's not how things work! Ruby and Bruna had a lot to comment on what Victor talked about now.
"I see…" Violet and Eve spoke at the same time.
'I must take pesticides and fuels like gasoline, alcohol, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas. Acids, bases, and alkalis should help too... I'm going to put everything in a lab, and a satisfying explosion should occur.'
'Maybe if I find a little Nitroglycerin, the explosion could increase even more... Maybe a little uranium, and plutonium too...' Even though she responded lightly, Eve's head was spinning too fast.
...Is she really trying to create a Nuke...?
Now that Eve's body was healthier, she could think about a lot and not get tired.
In contrast, Violet's thoughts were simpler.
'...Just burn everything, right? Okay, got it!'
"... Did they understand...?" Sasha's lips twitched a lot now.
"Ruby, you're smart. I know you'll find a way to throw this place by the wayside, destroy everything."
"…" Ruby nodded as she thought of a way to blow this place up, 'Wait…' But the moment she realized she was thinking this, she quickly looked at Victor, who was walking towards the exit.
"Darling, what are you going to do?"
"I will investigate this place further, I still can't see some hidden places down here," Victor spoke as his eyes glowed blood red while he looked to the side and saw a spot he couldn't see with his special eyes.
"I see…Oh…be careful, Darling. This place may still be under surveillance. After all, before entering this place, I saw several cameras, but don't worry-" Ruby was going to say that she had already destroyed everything and that the area where she was with the girls was completely safe.
"Oh...?" A cold air started to come out of Victor's body, he didn't like it one bit when he heard that someone was watching them, he breathed and exhaled a little, and everyone could see a little cold air coming out of his mouth.
"In that case."
"…" June slowly approaches Violet and stands behind her.
The magic circles on Victor's glove start to glow crazily:
"This place will become a new ice age." Victor snaps his finger.
FUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
A cold air left Victor's body and spread all over the place.
Suddenly, the whole place turned to pure ice and, to prove his control of the ice, he ignored the specimens and the files. He just froze the floor and wall of the whole place.
"He's overreacting again..." Ruby, Violet, and Sasha spoke again.
"..." Kaguya, Eve, and Bruna exhibited a small smile when they saw the way Victor does things.
"Done." Victor starts walking again.
"Oh, wait! I'll go with you!" Sasha jumped up and ran towards Victor since she didn't want to serve as a luggage carrier. She knows the girls will abuse her because of her speed!
"Me too." Kaguya had the same thoughts as Sasha when Victor ordered his Maids.
He didn't specify who should work, and as the oldest and the hardest working Maid, she has the privilege of using that wordplay so she doesn't do something she doesn't want to.
Definitely not because she wanted to be with her master.
"... Tsk." Violet and Ruby clicked their tongues at the same time:
"Let's get to work, Girls."
"I'm going to want this, this, this, and that, and all these documents."
"Yes!"
"Get it all together in a box-." Before Ruby could finish speaking, she heard something crack:
Crack.
"Does this work?" Eve spoke as she plucked a huge metal box from the wall. Apparently, the box was an empty container?
"Yes..." Ruby nodded, but she was surprised at how quickly Eve worked.
Ruby stops looking at Eve and looks at June, "...June, don't charge too much for my Husband."
"Oh, I know. I won't."
"...good." Ruby felt strange. Was this the so-called Greedy witch? Why was she not looking for more benefits...
'Oh, just having connections with a vampire count is already a huge achievement...' Of course, June had a connection with Violet before, but she wasn't a vampire count; she was the heiress of a clan that has the title of vampire count. Though she had a lot of political powers because of being from a powerful Clan, that doesn't compare to the power of Agnes Snow.
...
Nightingale.
A woman was sitting in a rather noble red chair while wearing a white dress with black fur lining her shoulders and what looked like little black flowers lining a lace opening in the chest area that showed some of the pale woman's skin and her breasts that have grown due to the woman's power. The dress was quite noble with its vivid white on the outside and dark black trim on the edges and inner parts of the skirt.
The dress had a slit going up the right side that showed the woman's thick legs.
"Kid," The woman spoke while sensually crossing her legs:
"I'm not here to deal with garbage like you."
She makes a movement with her hand.
Rumble, Rumble.
Swip!
The sounds of lightning, followed by current hitting the ground, are heard.
Gulp.
Einer Houseman gulped.
She had a sadistic and, at the same time an annoyed, expression on her face:
"Call your father."
"As I've said many times... He's not at home, he needed-."
Swip!
The current hit Einer's side again, and this time it felt closer than before!
A cold sweat broke out on Einer's face. He couldn't act arrogantly in front of this woman, she's an older vampire, and to make matters worse, she's completely crazy!
"Kid...I said, bring your dad. I don't care where he is, what he's doing, or if he's fucking some big dick man."
"I want him here now."
'This Crazy Bitch... She doesn't listen to anyone!?' He's said countless times that his dad isn't home and, in fact, even he wants to know where his dad is! If his father were at home, he wouldn't be dealing with this woman.
And another thing too...
Einer looks around; 'Where's my twin brother!?' He didn't see Zwei Horseman anywhere. Not even his sister was home!
Einer Horseman is having the worst day of his life.
After waking up from his coma, he suddenly found that the man he'd fought in the game against his family had become a vampire count, and to make matters worse, a few days later, this crazy woman showed up at his door.
Like, what the fuck?
How did he get count status so quickly?
Fuck! Life is fucking unfair!
"Tsk..." Natashia's eyes glowed blood red, as she was clearly getting more annoyed as time went on.
'If I kill this whole family without being in a formal game, I won't be able to regain the title of count... but I don't want to wait...' She was very impatient.
'Fuck it, I'm going to kill them all! Anyone who stands in the way of my happiness with my husband will die!'
Rumble, Rumble.
Golden lightning began to cover the woman's body, and her hair seemed to be floating a little.
"Shit..."
Chapter 199: A Normal Day In Nightingale?
Today was a quiet 'morning' in Nightingale, as the vampires from Clan Horseman territory woke up and were about to go about their daily routine.
What was the daily routine of these vampires who can live thousands of years?
Well, older vampires will seek 'entertainment' with their wives or even chat and gossip about whatever subject they are interested in talking about.
But most of the time, the older vampires were practicing dual cultivation with their wives since there isn't much better entertainment than sex.
You can always invent something new and have fun.
Although some older vampires liked to read books and acquire more knowledge, but… These were the vampires who had the nickname 'Sage.'
Why sage? Well, even though it's been several years, and they've reached the age that's considered old by vampires. (1000 years old).
They still haven't experienced the forbidden pleasure since they were too busy with other things, like reading books, acquiring knowledge, following Japanese and Korean idols, and practicing the art of petting the goose that by that time has already reached the divine domain...
They are the real ones. Sages of the modern age…
Younger vampires who are poorer will go looking for jobs since they can't be bums forever.
And jobs are not lacking in Nightingale. After all, there is always something to do since, as immortal vampires, they are always looking for ways to be entertained and not sit still, considering that if they stay put and do nothing all day, then how will that be any different than not living at all?
Although the most lucrative jobs were the ones where you needed to get your hands 'dirty'.
But it's a shame that vampires who go looking for jobs are the minority since most vampires who have lived for a long time have a 'small' amount of accumulated wealth.
And what are the descendants of these vampires going to do with that money?
Work and earn more?
Maybe seek out a female vampire and strengthen your clan by raising offspring?
Or maybe go after subordinates to make the Clan stronger?
The answer to all these questions was…
Nothing.
Yes, they won't do anything...
How can descendants of noble vampires who have a 'small' amount of money even think about working?
Of course, they are not going to work since, like a real young master, they are going to spend that money!
They will go to brothels in search of forbidden pleasures. Apparently, some hostesses from a particular area of ??Clan Horseman territory have some very peculiar techniques that can make any vampire reach the 'heavens' in less than a few minutes.
They have a divine mouth… And a cave that could defeat even an incubus.
Those were the rumors, they didn't know if they were true, but they would definitely go there.
Some noble vampires will go to the cinema to watch the newest movies, like the Marvel series, especially the most recent one where three spiders will be participating. Some younger vampires are particularly excited about this movie.
They even bought several t-shirts with a spider's logo on them and went to the movies.
Some looking for exotic entertainment would go look for 'humans' to sample their blood.
It was an ordinary 'morning' in Nightingale, and everyone was doing their business until…
Rumble, Rumble.
BOOOOOOM!
"Hmm?" Some vampires look at the house of Clan Horseman.
"What was that noise?"
A small commotion began to take place with the vampires near the Clan Horseman mansion.
"Was that the sound of lightning?" A woman asked.
"Yes."
"Hmm...But I don't see rain clouds anywhere." A younger vampire spoke as he looked up at the sky.
Today it was a clear sky, without any clouds.
An older vampire stroked his beard and said, "It's not rainy season yet, so... the only thing I can think of is that former Countess Annatashia must have made her move."
"Stop using your powers for something useless like this!" A woman attacked the older man's head with a black pot.
Bonk!
"Ouch..." The older Vampire holds his head, and soon his appearance starts to change to that of a 30-year-old adult.
"Woman, let me have some fun, this is why I want to get divorced-!"
"What did you say...?" The woman's eyes glittered dangerously, and she wore a smile very similar to the one Violet gave Victor sometimes.
"... You are beautiful today." He displayed a small forced smile.
"Ara, thank you." The woman displayed a loving smile.
"…" The crowd that saw this only thought one thing.
'He is dominated by his wife...poor man...'
"Anyway-." The 30-year-old looking man looked like he was going to say something, but suddenly.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
All vampires look at Clan Horseman's mansion and see a small cloud of lightning forming in the sky.
Strangely... golden lightning was falling in the area of the Clan horseman mansion, which means...
"Yes, it's definitely the former countess." The man spoke.
"Things are getting interesting again, what should we do?"
"What a silly question... We will gossip of course!" The man's wife spoke.
"Ohhh, you're right!" The crowd seemed to get excited.
"Let everyone know that the former countess is making her move!" Someone suddenly yelled.
"Yes!"
... They sure have a lot of free time.
...
"Ara…" Natashia displays a smile that shows all her sharp teeth.
"Father…" Einer spoke in a neutral tone, but with some emotion in it, his father helped him! Did a miracle happen...?
He can't help but feel suspicious.
"You finally showed up. I thought I'd have to rip all your descendants' heads off for you to show up."
"…" Niklaus Horseman just fell silent as he held the woman's wrist with an annoyed look in his glowing blood-red eyes.
"What do you want-." He was going to ask something but was interrupted by Natashia.
"First, let go of my hand."
Rumble, Rumble.
Natashia's other hand begins to be covered by lightning, and soon a lightning blade is created from her fist.
She attacks Niklaus' hand, but the man quickly lets go of the woman's hand and backs away.
"The only one who can touch my body is my husband."
'Husband...?' For a few seconds Niklaus' expression twitched a little since he didn't know this crazy woman was remarried.
And if he doesn't know, that means something's wrong, he's pretty sure he's ordered his subordinates to watch Clan Fulger, and he knows that crazy woman has killed all her husbands, but why is she talking about husbands again?
No wonder Niklaus doesn't know anything. He asked someone to watch the Fulger mansion and report anything 'important' and not report useless stuff.
After all, of all the counts, Annastahia Fulger was the woman who did the most random things, and he didn't want to be bothered by a 'useless' subject.
His spy reported the rumor about Natashia and the new Count Alucard to Niklaus.
But this information never reached him since, when they were triaging to separate the vital information and send it to Count Niklaus, this information was dismissed as a 'rumor'.
'I need to review the reports again.' He thought to himself, while he flashed a small smile:
"To what do I owe your visit-." Niklaus was about to say something again, but he was interrupted by Natashia.
"I want a game for the title of vampire count, you and I will fight. I don't want a fight between our descendants, it's you and me that will fight." She repeated herself to accentuate what she wanted, and at the same time as she waved her hand in disgust.
'Ugh, should I rip that arm off? This disgusting man has touched me, I feel contaminated... But I will stain my beautiful dress again... Sigh'
"...Fine..." Niklaus' eyes twitched again since he didn't like being interrupted several times:
"Why are you-" He was going to ask something again but was suddenly surprised by Natashia's movement.
"Whatever." She cuts her arm off.
"... Eh?" The only one who reacted to this strange situation was Einer.
A few seconds passed, and suddenly her arm that had fallen to the ground dissolves in blood and flows back into her arm again.
"Now I feel better." She exhibited a small satisfied smile. She finally didn't feel contaminated anymore!
'This garbage, I'll kill him for it in the future, just wait…'
This woman is definitely not right in her head…
"..."
"What?" She looked at the man who was looking at her with a strange look.
"Why did you do that?" He can't help but ask out of curiosity.
"I felt disgusted when you touched me, so, because of that, I had to rip my arm off. Now that all the impurities from your touch are gone, I feel much better." She nodded several times in satisfaction.
"…" A vein popped in Niklaus' head.
"I-." Niklaus was going to say something again.
"Oh, the game will start in three days, tomorrow I will announce it to everyone from Nightingale."
But he was interrupted again:
"...Huh?" That was the only thing that seemed to cross Niklaus' mind.
"The contents of the bet will be as follows, I want the title of vampire count, you must bet that. And, in return, I will stake my Clan's divine treasure."
"Wha-."eyes Niklaus' opened wide, he couldn't believe what he was hearing right now.
"Yes, I have a divine treasure that was created by the dwarves of Norse mythology. Actually, the treasure is not mine, it's my mother's, but as I'm her heir, it's mine now."
Rumble, Rumble!
Natashia's body begins to crackle with lightning.
"The game starts in three days, don't forget... Ah, no need to wash the mansion. Since you guys moved in, I'll make sure to burn it all down and build a new one.
"I'll talk to you guys later."
BOOOOOOOOM!
Natashia ascends to the skies and, when she got high enough, she flew towards somewhere.
"..." An uncomfortable silence fell in the room.
Einer silently looked up into his father's face, which was covered in popping veins.
"That bitch, she wouldn't let me say anything." Surprisingly, he said it out loud while looking very frustrated.
"...What are you going to do, Father?" Einer seemed to ask carefully. After all, his father's mood was not so good now.
"I will accept, of course, I can't refuse in the face of a challenge. That's the rule of being a vampire count." Niklaus turned around.
'And the content of the bet isn't too bad either, but…' He looked at his hands a little and realized that it was still damaged.
'That woman seemed to have gotten stronger, so I need to be careful when facing her… In the latter case, I can use 'that' although… The king will definitely attend this event since, unlike before, it will be two older vampires fighting.' Niklaus' head started to spin, thinking of several things he should do and plan.
But he also didn't forget something:
"Einer, now that you've woken up, pack your things and come to the lab, I need to update you."
"Yes, Father."
...
As she flew through the Nightingale sky.
Natashia was thinking of something.
'I solved this problem. Now... I must fetch the treasure that is in my daughter's possession, and afterwards, I must go back to the game...' She flashed a loving smile. 'I will be able to see my husband!'
'Ah, but first, I must warn them about the game against that old man.' Natashia looked at a building and then descended from the sky towards that building.
She then entered the building casually.
"Wha-"
"Countess AnnatashIa Fulger!"
"Tsk, Tsk. I'm an Ex-Countess now... For now, that is." She displayed a small evil smile at the end.
"!!!" The vampires in the building's eyes widened in surprise.
"That means-." A vampire was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Natashia.
"Bitches, I came here to let you know that there's going to be a game between Clan Horseman and me. So put that all over the papers, okay?"
Seeing the gaze of the vampires, Natashia nodded in satisfaction.
"Good, I'm leaving now."
Rumble, Rumble.
Natashia disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the only thing everyone could see was the lightning trails that were left behind, but they soon disappeared.
"…" This woman, can't she listen to people!? Some people wanted to scream it.
"WHOAAAAAA, this is great news! Put it in all the newspapers now! Make the headline as sensational as possible!" The vampire in charge of the newspaper Natashia visited was very excited.
"YEAH!" Everyone was influenced by his excitement.
...
Again in the skies of Nightingale…
'Okay, I solved this problem… Now, I must visit my husband!'
'I mean, I must get my family's treasure!'
'But visiting my husband is more important!'
Suddenly Natashia stops flying while she looks at the clouds with a strange face.
"Where is my husband's house again?"
"…" A moment of silence fell around.
Natashia's brain was spinning at an amazing speed, and in the end, she decided something.
She looks towards Snow Clan territory.
"That woman must know."
If you don't know something, just ask the one who does! That was her thinking!
Rumble, Rumble.
Natashia flies towards Snow Clan territory.
BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!
Three sonic booms were heard as she accelerated even faster.
'Agnes, I will visit you, Bitch!'
...
