I raised my body. My head throbbed with pain.
"How hard did you hit me?"
I asked to Edward, who was sitting with a heavy expression.
"What is the last thing you remember?"
I held my head. It hurt too much.
"I was sparring with you. Ugh!"
"I see. Maybe that's better."
I wanted to ask what was better but pain stopped me from being sassy. Just what kind of skill he used for me to be so much pain?
"Can you stand up?"
"Yeah."
I stood up.
"Go on rest a little. You will need it."
My head hurt too much that I couldn't argue. I even forgot the things I wanted to ask him for months. As I moved while walking Edward sighed.
That night…
Edward Walker clicked his tongue.
"I am expecting an answer."
"And what's that got anything to do with me?"
Elizabeth Bathory answered with sass as she sipped blood.
"I am asking you why you haven't told him that Black Calamity is his grandfather?"
The glass Elizabeth was holding cracked.
"Are you ordering me, human?"
Mana shook the entire room. Normal humans would have fainted or even died due being close to this much of mana, yet Edward stood his ground.
"He deserves to know."
Mana coming from Elizabeth increased.
"Is this how you treat your own kin? After you told me how much you see him as a family? You hide the truth and manipulate him?"
"You don't know anything!"
Elizabeth hissed.
"I know enough. I know that the reason he died was because you were jealous. I know the one turned him to an undead were you!"
"I killed stronger humans than you."
"Go on then. Kill everyone doesn't follow you orders. See if he stays besides you."
Walls started to break down. Elizabeth leaped from the couch she was sitting and grabbed the Edward from throat. She slammed him to wall. She flashed her teeth and growled. Edward kept a stoic face. His expression didn't change a bit.
"You don't love him. You didn't loved his grandfather. You just want to own them. You are not capable of loving."
Elizabeth's grip tightened. Edward made a pained face.
"Go on. Kill me. Let's see if you can come up with a good lie. Can you cover your own back?"
"Argh!"
Elizabeth freed Edward and stormed out of the room. Edward took a deep breath and fixed his suit.
"Just a child with power."
He muttered. He looked at the people running into room.
"Sir! Are you okay? What happened?"
"It is okay. Just a little bit mana leakage. Call magicians to fix this room."
He touched his forehead. There was a lot of things in his head.
"Wolfgang comes first."
He thought to himself. Vampires were at least somewhat controllable. He could make deals with them. Werewolves and their dammed plans weren't like that.
"The devil you know."
"Did you said something, Sir?"
One of the personal asked him.
"No, I was just thinking my- Dodge!"
He grabbed the personel that was closer to him. As he ducked with him a single strike destroyed the room. Countless pained screams tore through the night.
"My arm!"
"Argh!"
"Take the wounded and go."
Edward said the personel he saved as he pulled one of the swords in his belt.
"That was unnecessary."
He said with a cold voice.
"Where are they?"
A cracked voice asked. A black armor escaped from shadows.
"She left a minute ago. Who knows where she is? And for your grandson…. You first have to step over my cold corpse."
Death Knight, The Black Calamity made a sound between crying and laughing.
"You are on side of those monsters?"
Shadows formed into a long sword. It was nearly same shape as the sword Edward held.
"For minimizing losses making deals with devil is necessary. Plus-"
He blocked the sword strike coming from shadows. Windows broke from the shockwaves created by their clash.
"You call your own blood a monster? You changed, Mehmet."
"Changed? Changed? She put me in this body! She trapped me in this coffin!"
"I am sorry. I am really sorry about what happened to you. If I could go back, I would do everything in my power to change it. But I can't. Only thing I can change is today. I will be putting you to rest today."
Edward's sword shone with blue mana.
"Rest? Rest? I will be resting when every monster in this world goes to hell!"
Shadows wrapped around the sword he was carrying. He charged forward.
My head hurt. Even hours after sparring with Edward, it didn't stop. Even drinking blood didn't helped. I wanted to ask Elizabeth for help but she was nowhere to be found.
"Maybe I should just rest."
If this thing was physical it wouldn't last this long. Not with my vampire healing powers. Maybe it was just mental. Maybe I was just tired. I lied on the bed. Thanks to Elizabeth I was in a luxurious room. As I closed my eyes…
"What?"
Immense mana surged through my body.
"What's happening?"
If someone released their mana in training room it wouldn't feel this intense.
"Someone is fighting? This mana is… Edward?"
I jumped out of the bed.
"Did Wolfgang attacked us first? We were so dumb!"
Of course. We thought that Wolfgang would tried to sneak into the dungeon with us. Why would he do that when he could get rid us before the raid? I picked my phone and called Elizabeth.
"The number is currently unavailable. Please try later."
Fuck. Then again she should have felt it too. I picked up my equipment and ran towards where the mana was coming. I used Hawkeye to see the place.
"So you felt it too!"
"Theodoros!"
He was fully armed. As expected. He was also with several other hunters.
"He must want to get rid of us before the raid!"
"No. This mana is from an undead."
"An undead?"
