However, before I can take a step forward, a kick lands across my chest, sending me skidding a few meters back.
The kick is so strong that I wouldn't have been able to withstand its impact if I hadn't used gravity to brace myself while skidding backward.
Only one thing is going on in my mind right now: This person is strong and he has something in common with Roth and me. I look up and see a tall vampire with a mask on his face. From his aura, I can tell that he's a royal vampire, although his aura is somewhat faint and peculiar, like that of a subclass.
He's wearing a black long coat, commonly used by vampires. Stopping my momentum, I hear his footsteps slowly walking towards me. It's as if he's also careful and trying to observe things before acting in the most rational way possible.
"That...Kick... who are you?" I ask, raising my head and looking at the masked figure.
The man pauses for a few moments before finally speaking.
