When Isaac turned around, Isaac paused to see the woman's face. For a moment Isaac's eyes turned red seeing how beautiful this woman was. Isaac's vampiric instincts kicked in and his eyes started glowing red. Isaac started to have this strong urge to suck this woman's blood.
"I am Aleesia Erbanise, from Greadsorn noble house."
Isaac has heard Alessia's name many times when he was training with the teacher Leo. It was rumored that Aleesia's mother was a maid and got pregnant with Alessia when the head of Greatsorn noble house married Alessia's mother.
Aleesia is a 29 years old moon elf. She is from Greadsorn noble house. Alessia had long silver hair that reached down her waist. Aleesia has long classic elf ears. Her dark blue eyes seem to have the power to capture any man's soul. Her flawless milky skin and her angelic yet cold face can make men go crazy.
Aleesia was wearing a full-sleeved tight fitted black leather jacket that reached down to her thighs. She wore black leather-type pants. The clothes Aleesia was wearing weren't wet despite raining in the rain. Alessia had a perfect hourglass figure. It was like her body was made to seduce men unintentionally. Her big mountains seems to move every time she moved her body.
Upon a closer look, Isaac noticed that Alessia was made a transparent white energy shield above her head. The shield kept her body dry.
Isaac knew that Elves were born more beautiful than other races. But this woman named Aleesia, her beauty was something else. Isaac felt that this woman wouldn't lose if she were to compare to Isabella who is considered the most beautiful woman in the Aetas Empire. However, due to the effects of Heart of Ice, Isaac didn't look at her for more than 2 seconds which greatly surprised Alessia as she was used to being stared at by men.
'He is the first person.' Aleesia secretly despised all men. Aleesia only thought of men as pigs in human form. To her point of view, she saw all men as perverts and beasts. The word gentlemen didn't exist in her dictionary.
Aleesia had long gotten used to being stared at by men. But Isaac was the very first man who managed to restrain his lust and didn't look at her for more than 2 seconds which greatly surprised her. On the surface, Aleesia's expression was cold as ice but beneath the surface, she was greatly surprised.
"Miss Aleesia, I don't think I have done anything to offend. Would you mind moving your sword from my throat?" As far as Isaac can remember, Aleesia was not known for her strength but seeing how fast she appeared behind Isaac without him even noticing, Isaac was sure that Aleesia's strength was somewhere in the mid-phase of gold rank. Isaac wouldn't want to offend this kind of powerful person, at least not while in his current strength.
However, Aleesia had different plans. She didn't move the sword. Aleesia noticed how pale, Isaac's face looked. Aleesia also noticed the drop of blood on the corner of Isaac's mouth. "You're injured, aren't you?" Isaac simply nodded his head while suppressing his shock. Isaac thought that he was hiding his wounds well and no one would be able to notice his wounds.
Aleesia put the sword down which confused Isaac for a moment. A small glass bottle appeared in Aleesia's hand which she took out from her space ring.
"Here take this." Aleesia then threw the bottle containing shiny orange liquid to Isaac. After catching the glass bottle, Isaac looked at Aleesia in confusion.
"This is....."
"A healing potion. Drink this." For a moment Isaac looked at Aleesia in confusion. Isaac wondered why would this woman offer him a healing potion.
Noticing, Isaac's gaze on her, Aleesia decided to explain. "Don't misunderstand. Right now the whole world has gone crazy. To ensure our survival, I am gathering warriors like you. Besides, it would be a waste if a strong warrior like you died here. The more strong people we have the better chances of survival we will have." Isaac nodded his head. He decided to put his faith in this woman as Isaac didn't have any other option in his current situation.
Opening the bottle, Isaac gulped down every last bit of the healing potion. As soon as the liquid entered Isaac's stomach, Isaac felt a cool sensation spreading every part of his body. Isaac could feel his bones repairing themselves at a very fast speed.
"Follow me." Aleesia coldly said before starting to move in the northern direction. Isaac reduced the size of his Executioner of Nightmares to the size of a small toothpick and then followed Aleesia from behind.
'For now, let's follow this woman. Even if I refused to join her, then I am sure she wouldn't let me go this easily. Besides, maybe by staying with her, I will be able to find a safe place in this city.' Isaac right now needed to find shelter. Maybe going with Aleesia would be the best choice for him.
While jumping from one roof to another, Isaac comes across thousands if not hundreds of thousands of zombies just in the slum area. This proved that at least 50 or more percent of people are peasants or slaves who couldn't pay the tax in time and were forced to live in a slum area and work as labor.
Isaac followed Aleesia while keeping a distance of 15 meters between them. It was not that Isaac purposely followed her from afar. It was the opposite. Aleesia was a cold type of woman who preferred to not talk unnecessarily.
It was not like Isaac had any trouble with Aleesia not talking to him and giving him cold shoulders. Isaac felt it was better this way. Isaac didn't have any intentions of making friends. Isaac also liked to stay quiet and not have unnecessary conversations.
While following Aleesia for a few minutes, Isaac realized that this woman was testing him. 'She is purposely keeping the 15 meters distance between us. She wants to see how fast I can move and judge my strength depending on that factor.' Isaac didn't play like Aleesia wanted him to. Isaac only used about [30+] of his speed to follow Aleesia.
Both Aleesia and Isaac remained silent the entire time. Aleesia made Isaac follow her to the other side of the slum area. After following her for 10 minutes, Aleesia finally stopped in front of a that was oddly painted in red color.
Isaac noticed that number of zombies in this area was very less than compared to other areas. There were corpses of zombies lying in the streets. There was also some house which was destroyed showing signs that a fight had taken place in this area not too long ago.
Aleesia landed in front of the house painted in red color. Aleesia then ignored Isaac and opened the door. She then glanced at Isaac once before walking in with her usual cold face.
Isaac also followed Aleesia inside. Isaac thought the inside of the house would be dark and gloomy but what he saw shocked him. Instead of having rooms, there was a staircase that went down. "A stair leading to an underground area."
As soon as, Isaac walked in the door shut itself automatically. Isaac took slow and cautious steps. Isaac didn't trust Aleesia at all. Isaac was in a place that looked very suspicious.
Tap! Tap!
Isaac slowly went down the stairs. Walking down the stairs, Isaac reached an underground area. The whole place was about 150 meters in size. The whole place looked like some kind of underground shelter.
Isaac couldn't help but frown seeing more than a hundred people sitting quietly on the floor and curiously looking at him. There were 10 torches which were a special type of stone that glows in dark was lighting the entire room in white light.
Among the hundred people, Isaac only sensed 10 people who were cultivators, and the rest of them were slaves or peasants. The atmosphere of the whole place was gloomy. Isaac even saw some people crying for their families who had turned into a zombie.
"Who is he?"
"Is he another cultivator?"
"It looks like lady Aleesia has bought him with her."
The curious people looked at Isaac and whispered among each other. But Isaac was 10 times stronger than an average human. Isaac easily could hear their whispering words. 'It looks like the people in this greatly respect Aleesia.' Itsuki looked at the crowd and thought.
Isaac's gaze then fell on a man who was walking at him with an arrogant expression. The man was the same age as Isaac. He had short and spiky blond hair and a long fat nose which gave him an ugly look. His body and height were average and he looked like one of those people who wouldn't hesitate to lick other people's boots to survive.
This man had the same arrogant look as Isaac's two brothers. It was as if this man was looking down on Isaac. His gaze had no respect, he looked like he was forced to talk with an insect. Seeing this Isaac secretly frowned but decided not to show it on his face.
"Newcomer, our boss wants to see you. Come with me." Isaac was a prince at the end of the day. Isaac certainly didn't like the way this man talked to him. 'It looks like I made a bad choice. Maybe I shouldn't have come here.'
