"Muf!"
"If you don't stop making noises, I will break you jaw. So, shut up."
I said as I dragged the vampire. She was tightly wrapped with ropes Elizabeth specifically gave me for sake for restricting her. Even though I called them ropes, it looked more like a long, red chain. It had ability to block vampire's abilities. Good thing I learned this kind of item existed. I would hate to learn something could restrain me when I was binded with it. I dragged her. She talked non-stop so shut her mouth with a cloth but she kept making muffled noises. I could let her talk if she talked about useful things but all she did was cry about her boyfriend. It was something I couldn't care less.
"Took you long enough!"
A muscular man walked towards me. Vampire I carried made suprised noises yet I was calm. I already detected him some time ago. Was he one of the vampires Elizabeth sent? Then why is he…
"Don't be so aggresive, Leo. I am sure it was hard to walk in this rain."
Another vampire tried to console his friend. He was also… A smile formed under my mask.
"My name is Noier. This is Leo. Nice to meet you."
He offered me his hand. I grabbed and shook it.
"Isn't Hawkeye too grand of a name for an one eyed person?"
Leo asked. At that moment I understood what they were trying to do. They were playing good cop, bad cop. Noier elbowed Leo on the side.
"Come on now. You must be tired. We can take over from now on."
He put his hand forward, expecting me to hand her over. He had a fake smile in his face. Vampire behind me made panicked noises.
"I was ordered to bring her myself."
"I mean, orders are more like guidelines aren't they? You can just give her us and we will take care of her."
He shook his hand as if to hurry me.
"For my master orders are absolute."
"We are trying to be kind, kid."
They were trying to be kind? How many times I heard that exact phrase from people trying to kill me?
"I didn't need your help to capture her. Why do you thing I would need your help to transport her?"
Leo clicked his tongue. He moved towards me, only to be blocked by Noire.
"Calm down buddy. Sorry, we are just on edge due all this mission stuff."
"You must be really on edge if you trying to secretly reach to your dagger."
All that anger and moving forward was just smokescreen. He was trying to pull his dagger without me reacting.
"Hahah, what do you mean?"
"Will you stop or should I put a knife to your throat?"
Why did Elizabeth told me to not hand the vampire over to anyone? I wasn't sure first. But realizing that she was from Elizabeth's family things got clearer. While vampire families were on same "side", this didn't mean that they were friends. They always tried to take over each other. Now with a criminal from Elizabeth's family appearing, they could gain some kind of upper hand if they had her in their hands. Noier clicked his tongue.
"How disappointing. I hoped that if we were to take the place of them we could get her without killing you."
"Take the place of them", did that meant that original team was killed? Before I could think all the possibilities, a dagger nearly pierced my healthy eye. I grabbed it in mid air.
"I will handle him! Get her!"
Noier shouted. Leo moved to my left while, Noier moved to my right.
"As if."
I threw the dagger with just movement of my wrist. Noier was only able to dodge it by throwing himself to ground. At the same time, I kicked Leo trying to get behind me. As my shin contacted his face, I felt his nose breaking. He flew back.
"Are you from main Bathory family? Shit!"
While I did know that they weren't the people Elizabeth sent, this conformed it. The reason I was suspicious of them was mainly because the "face" they were wearing wasn't their face. It was a mask. I was able to see through it with Hawkeye. I pulled my sword from my sheath.
"Will you surrender or do I need to cut your limbs?"
I asked even though I knew the answer. Noier laughed.
"Look at this son of a bitch! Do you think you are the shit becuse you landed one hit?"
"Nope."
My voice was low and calm. With one smooth move, I pulled five throwing knives from my cloak. My movement didn't stop there and I also threw them after covering them in my Sword Aura. It was a trick I learned after it ranked up. They flied to different places, creating arcs in air.
"Cheap tricks!"
Leo screamed to me. While Noier was able to dodge three I threw to him, he couldn't dodge the two coming towards him. That was because his vision was impaired due me breaking his nose. Damage to nose usually lead to eyes watering.
"And yet you were caught by cheap tricks. What does that makes you?"
One thing spending time with Elizabeth thought me was shit talking.
"I can't believe I have to use all of my power her- Ugh!"
I nearly cut the head of Noier who was trying to boast. He pulled two short swords probably from a bag of holding.
"Blah, blah! I heard it enough times."
"Leo! I will hold him off! You get her!"
This would be bad. I could defeat them but that would be useless if they got her. I pushed him back. I stabbed Kıyamet to myself. Blood was absorbed to it.
"What?"
(Blood percentage 39.)
Due my fight and torture it was filled considerably. I just needed to put a little more.
(Blood is consumed to activate options of Kıyamet.)
(Agility Enchanment D+ is activated.)
It was power of Kıyamet. Depending on the blood consumed it could grant me nearly any skill. Currently I could only get skills C and below rank but it gave immense amounts of options when fighting.
