Being targeted by this kind of attack was terrifying. Or at least it should have been. But man didn't move. Didn't shiver or even shook. He just raised his stick. Next thing I saw was Edward dropping his sword to ground.
"What? What the fuck happened?"
I asked in full confusion. How? Edward's hand was bloodied. Seeing that wound I remembered our first meeting. He had a scar in his hand. At that time I didn't cared too much attention to it. I mean he was a hunter. Of course he would have some scars. Every hunter I known had at least one scar. But seeing the battle caused it was shocking. I still couldn't understand what happened. Man looked at the Edward. He dropped the stick. Stick was still in one piece. It didn't had any nicks or visible damage. He ripped his shirt's arms and bandaged Edward's wound with it.
"I know you don't understand me but let me speak to you anyways. I am not a warrior. I don't want to hurt anyone. Just leave me alone."
He picked the stick he just dropped. He looked at the cows running away with a sigh. They were probably got scared because of the mana Edward unleashed. He ran away after them. As he ran my vision started to became hazy. With every step he took I felt myself getting further away from him. Just as my vision got covered with fog:
(Skill Blessing of Martial Arts is awakened due bloodline.)
(Skill is degraded due bloodline thinning.)
(Skill Blessing of Martial Arts D- is acquired.)
I opened my eyes. This time in my body. My body ached. It took a minute to realized body hugging me. It took a lot of restraint not kicking her off the bed immediately.
"Elizabeth!"
I shook her. Her body was small so my violent shooking made her head shook like one of those toys you put to cars. Despite her shaking like crazy she didn't opened her eyes.
"If you keep pretending you are asleep, I am going to slap you!"
"Sigh, you are boring. You saw a gorgeous woman sleeping next to you and what's the first thing you do? Shaking them. You should have just pretend you are sleeping and hug me tight."
"My sisters! Where are they? What about my parents! What happened to Death Knight! Lazarus? How are you here? Where is Edward!"
"Slow down cowboy! I can't answer all of them at once you know! Even I am not that amazing!"
I jumped off the bed. I was in a luxurious yet old fashioned room. I was also naked. I grabbed the blanket and covered my groin area.
"I already seen everything."
"Shut up Elizabeth! Isn't there any clothes?"
"You can't just tell me to shut up and ask questions, you know?"
"Can't you be serious, just for a one minute?"
"Nope!"
I sighed.
"Your family is fine. I even sent a potion to heal you sister's arm. Aren't I am a good mistress?"
"Thank you."
Elizabeth looked actually suprised with my response.
"Now close your eyes. I am going to change."
Finally finding clothes, I put them on. They fitted perfectly. Elizabeth probably picked them for me.
"You liked them? I thought they were your style."
"Yeah. But that doesn't mean I didn't realize you were peeking."
"Oh, come on! You wouldn't?"
"Of course I wouldn't!"
I sighed and wondered which one of us was the older one. Maybe the reason Edward was no nonsense…
"Edward."
I remembered the dream I had. I remembered how immature he looked and how he was defeated.
"Hmmm? Edward is fine. He needs to rest a little bit though. He is not young as he used to be. Ah, humans."
"What about Wolfgang? Did he got him?"
"Nope. That doggy ran away again."
I gritted my teeth. I can't believe that monster is still out of there!
"Do we have an idea where it ran away? Also I thought monsters couldn't be turned? How did he turned an entire dungeon of goblins?"
Elizabeth's face slowly turned serious. She jumped off the bed.
"Follow me."
She walked out the room and I followed her. Her serious face suprised me so I didn't spoke a word. Using Hawkeye I looked around. Since I looked beyond walls, I had to be careful not look through Elizabeth's clothes. We were in someone kind of gothic castle. How fitting.
"We don't know why or how."
Elizabeth suddenly spoke.
"Humans are only race that can be turned to vampires and werewolves. Both races don't know why exactly, despite all the research made. Even for humans, the chances of turning successfully is low. There were some researches made to turn all monsters into vampires but all were abandoned. But looks like mutts were successful."
I gulped. Turning all monsters into werewolves?
"Why? To control them?"
I asked.
"Not exactly. Their hierarchy works a little bit different. Real reason, at least what I think is to starve us."
"Wha…"
"We can't drink werewolves blood. We fought them for millenniums. They adapted us drinking their blood. Their blood is toxic to us. If they can turn everything to werewolves, we'll starve."
"Everything? Including humans?"
"If they can turn monsters humans will be next."
"Wait, wait. Are we talking about a world-wide takeover?"
"Yes."
I waited for Elizabeth to smile and call me silly. Unfortunately for me and everyone else, she didn't.
"Can everything fucking slow down? I nearly died last week and turned into a vampire! I fought against a hobgoblin turned into a werewolf! My sisters were kidnapped! A Death Knight tried to kill me! And now I learn that the werewolf killed my friends and took my eye trying to turn everyone in world the into werewolves! I need a fucking break!"
Elizabeth grabbed me.
"It is okay, Burak. I know. I really know."
My life wasn't like this 10 days ago. I was just training with my friends. I was laughing with them. My family weren't in danger of being tortured and killed. Where did it go wrong?
"You should have died as a human."
His voice rang in my ear.
