Soon she and Krishna went outside where Victor was already waiting for them.
"I am going to the assassin clan to wipe them out." Victor said
"Then I am going to the Clan Astharoth to find out more and wipe them out."Scathach said.
"Well I will just stay here and guard the home base." Krishna said.
"Lazy"
"Lazy"
Scathach and Victor said in unison.
"Oye.... yeah I have no argument for that so I will go with Scathach."
Krishna hugged her and appeared near the Clan Astharoth's territory.
It took Krishna and Scathach 5 min to reach the clan and Scathach kept hugging Krishna like a koala for that amount of time.
Clan Astharoth, similar to Clan Amon, also derived its name from that of a demon. This clan was mainly focused on collecting and reselling information. They were not as good as the witches, but for noble vampires who do not want to associate a lot with witches, they were very helpful.
And their prices were far fairer than witches...
Money mattered even to vampires who outgrew the desire to accumulate wealth quickly, considering they have all the time in the world to earn more money. Greedy vampires just didn't like having to pay 10x the amount for information that could be obtained cheaper.
Most of these vampires were those who hated witches and didn't want to get involved with them.
Currently, similar to Clan Amon... Clan Astharoth had turned into a tundra of ice.
"C-Countess Scathach Scarlett..." The leader of Clan Astharoth stuttered a lot. He was looking at the woman who was sitting on an ice throne, who had just suddenly arrived and frozen the whole place.
All the vampires thought it was the end of them. After all, they knew Scathach Scarlett, and they knew they invaded her territory.
But instead of killing them all, she created an ice throne, sat comfortably atop it, crossed her legs sensually, and rested her head in her hand, just looking at the vampires with her eyes glowing blood red.
"I'll give you 10 seconds." Her voice sent shivers down all the vampires' spines. She didn't do anything, she was just sitting there, and it was scaring the hell out of them!
"Tell me who planned this, and I promise that only 50% of you will be killed."
'In the end we will still be killed!?' Everyone screamed internally.
"We really don't know! The ones who contacted us in search of information was Clan Amon! And we just gave them all the information we knew about you, to them!"
"I see... In the end, you were just used as disposable parts too..." Scathach raised her hand and with just a hand gesture.
"W-Wait-" The Leader couldn't finish speaking.
After all, he became an ice sculpture... In fact, everything became realistic ice structures. The entirety of Clan Astharoth perished like that, with a simple gesture of the hand.
"Tsk..." The nagging feeling that Scathach was feeling didn't go away, 'I was having a good time with Krishna, and something like that pops up to get in my way. These bugs….I'll hunt every one of them and... Hmm ?'
Scathach stopped thinking and looked to the sky. She suddenly rose from her throne and jumped into the air, and with a speed that few could react to, she caught a black owl.
The black owl that was being held by Scathach's hands began to thrash wildly.
"I see..." Scathach's eyes gleamed even more dangerously.
"I still don't know who you are, but you better hide like the little rat you are..." A black pressure left Scathach's body and spread across the area.
... Death was standing there, and she wasn't happy at all.
"Because if I find out who you are, I will erase your existence from this world."
Scathach squeezed the owl's head, and soon the owl was dissolved by some kind of dark energy.
"P-Prince..." The man's subordinate spoke while he had a dark expression of pure fear.
"E-Everything is fine..." The man tried to maintain his composure, but he failed miserably; 'How did the killing intent of this monster affect me when I'm thousands of KM away?' He couldn't understand such irrationality.
"I said it wasn't a good idea." Suddenly he heard someone's voice.
"Niklaus..."
Niklaus Horseman looked at the two screens showing the image of Scathach and Victor.
"That boy... Wrong, Count Alucard is not a normal existence." Nicklaus' eyes sparkled as they looked at Victor and the thing that Victor's face had become.
He looked at Scathach, "And that woman isn't either."
"You don't need to tell me the obvious, I saw him personally attacking my father... I just wanted to see how he would react to an enemy attack... And unsurprisingly, he reacted the same way Countess Scathach did." Prince Theo wore a sly smile.
"Scathach Scarlett, she is an unpredictable woman..."
"She is not." Niklaus denied it.
"Yes, she's-" Prince Theo was going to tell his thoughts, but he stopped when he heard Niklaus' voice.
"You expected that by the time she arrived at Clan Astharoth, the woman would destroy everything without even letting everyone react, right?"
"…" Prince Theo was silent.
"Instead of doing what you predicted, she just sat there, and then froze everything…"
"In the end, she did what I predicted." Prince Theo laughed.
"... Fool, don't you see?" Niklaus twitched his brow a little.
"Yes… I know, if it was in the past, she would have reacted like I said."
"That's true, if this were the past…" He looked at Theo's subordinate. "Put the first image of those two together."
"Yes!"
And then the screen image switched to a woman hugging a man on the rooftop very gently.
"That man changed her…" Niklaus continued.
"…" Theo was silent.
"Now, I don't know if this change is good or bad."
"And Count Alucard..." He looked at the other man(Victor).
"He may look predictable at first glance, but he's not... Remember, he's the same type as that woman..."
"Irrational. Are you putting that man on the same level as Scathach?"
"Yes."
"..." Theo frowned. He didn't like that answer, that man on the same level as Scathach? Huh? He's only 21! Do not say silly things!
"I'm not talking about strength, I'm talking about madness, their mentality is the same... Tell me, just which person in all vampire history dared attack the king in his own castle?"
"Scathach... And that man..."
"See? You have your answer… In the future, that man will turn into something far worse than Scathach."
"…" Theo was silent.
Niklaus turned, and before he left, he tapped the prince on the shoulder, "Congratulations, you've just acquired two Scathach's as an enemy." Then he walked towards the exit.
"…" The prince wasn't happy about it at all. "Tsk, just forget it, he can't do anything right now anyway, and not even Scathach would dare attack me..." He was silent.
What they did not know that their worst enemy was the one who they disregarded as not a great threat and did not even discuss as an enemy.
**************
{Scathach's Castle's living room}
Krishna and Scathach were playing chess while talking about various magic spells Krishna could create and how they could be applied in fights as well as various fighting techniques and martial arts.
"It is about time I go back to visit my family." Krishna
Scathach looked at Krishna ... she felt sad as soon as she heard this.
"So come with and meet them" Krishna said with a smile while still looking at the chess board.
Scathach blinked once in surprise and nodded,"Yes I should meet my disciple's family"
"hahahaha" Krishna got up as he saw the three sisters move out of the room.
"You girls wanna meet the rest of the family?"
"The rest of the family??" Lacus asked.
"You three are part of my family now so let's go meet my mother and Cathleen and Sabine."
Then Victor with his wives came out of their room towards the lobby.
"Wait, Darling! You forgot something!"
"What?" He looked at Sasha.
"Your appearance! How are you going to explain to your mother all these changes!? You're 195 cm tall now, you know? And your eyes are blood red! The puberty excuse won't help now!"
"...Oh." Victor, Ruby, and Violet totally forgot about it.
"Shit. Shit." Victor was walking from one side of the room to the other, Seemingly very worried about something.
"...This is the first time I've seen Victor react like that, what happened?" Siena spoke when she appeared, along with Scathach and Luna.
"Master is worried about what he's going to say to his family... After all, his appearance has changed a lot." Kaguya replied.
"Oh…can't he just use his powers? I mean, he could solve this easily with his Vampiric Charm."
"..." Lacus and Pepper looked at their sister.
"...What?"
"Victor would never do that. He's very overprotective of his family, and, in his mind, by using his powers on his family, it's a way of harming his own family." Lacus explained.
"Oh…that makes sense." Siena thought it made sense, even though she didn't understand Victor's feelings, considering she had no human relatives.
"You think about it after we reach there.... maybe mother can help since she already knows about this world she can help out in whatsoever plan you have." Krishna said as he snapped his finger and opened a portal.
Every single person just looked at Krishna with eyes wide open.
"HOW!!" Natalia was the first to react since the skill that Krishna used was seemingly identical to hers.
"hahahahahah calm down it's just a mana version of portal spell that you use... of course this is harder to maintain and the larger the distance the more mana I have to use but the main drawback for now would be that I cannot make a portal to a place where I have not been before." Krishna said as he explained his skill.
'This man also started breaking common sense.....' Everyone other than Scathach had this thought.
somewhere in New York.
A man with black hair and black eyes, wearing a shirt depicting an anime girl, was running desperately. He was a rather tall man, around 180 cm tall.
"What did I do to deserve this!? What did I do to deserve this!?" He repeated the same phrases over and over as he ran through the alleys very nimbly.
"Wait!" He heard a woman's voice. In a normal situation, the man would be happy to be called by a woman, but in this situation? He just got more scared!
"HIII!" He ran faster and started dropping trash in an attempt to hinder the woman.
"Ugh, he's too fast for a normal human." The woman was upset. "Tsk, there's no way." The woman seemed to take something out of her pocket and say:
"Oh, Takemikazuchi, lend me the power of your lightning."
Rumble, Rumble.
"...!?" The man looked back and saw the woman being covered by lightning.
"What the fuck is this!?" This only made the man more scared, and, using a very impressive dexterity, he seems to walk on the wall and suddenly jumps on a fire escape.
"Hahahaha, Altair, your teachings were not in vain!" Soon he started climbing the stairs.
He looked like a man quite experienced in the art of Parkour.
"...This kid is quite talented, Stupid Disciple." The woman heard an aged voice.
"Shut up, Master."
Rumble, Rumble.
The woman disappeared, and only a golden trail was left behind.
The man climbed up the building and looked down, "Sigh, did I lose her?"
"Did you finally give up?"
"AHHHH!" He freaked out like hell and quickly climbed to the edge of the building.
"Wait…-" The woman seemed to want to say something.
But the man interrupts her saying, "Look, if it were a normal situation, I would be excited to be chased by a hot Japanese Milf, but you're scary as hell!"
"Huh!?" A vein popped in the woman's head. She didn't like the man's rude attitude.
"Hiii!" The man seemed to have stumbled, "Eh-?" He slipped from the building! If he falls from that height, he will die!
"Ah…Wait! You will fall!" The woman used the lightning and appeared in front of the man, but, when she went to take the man's hand, she suddenly saw the smile on the man's face.
As the man fell off of the building, he suddenly turned in midair and fell backwards right into a Dumpster.
"Ouch, it doesn't work the same in games, it still hurts... Luckily this Dumpster had just regular garbage, if there was anything else, I'd be fucked." He got out of the Dumpster and started running.
"Oh? This boy is awesome." Suddenly an old man's spirit appeared beside the woman.
"...Did he plan this?" The woman was stunned, "Is he really a normal human?"
"Yes, he is a normal human. I don't feel any power of the creatures of the night in him... He's just a bit dumb." After all, what kind of human jumps into a Dumpster without knowing what's inside? Is he crazy?
"... Interesting." Somehow the woman seemed to be interested in the man.
"Sigh..." The man sighed in relief when he realized he had lost the woman.
"Damn, this is all happening because I took that damn spear. I should have ignored that shit!"
The man wondered why all this was happening to him.
On a beautiful day, on a sunny day, a man wearing an anime girl shirt was going out after buying several divine games called 'Eroge'. As he was a greedy and wasteful man, he spent all his salary on games, but he was okay! It was all for the greater good!
He could handle eating Ramen for an entire month!
"I'm melting…" He looked like a melted slug.
Everything was normal that day until the moment he felt something calling him. As he was a curious man, he didn't think about anything and just followed his instinct. His instincts led him to an alley, and in that alley, an extremely suspicious spear was standing there.
If he were a normal person, that person would ignore this extremely suspicious spear and would go on with his life, but the man was not a normal person.
"Wait... Isn't this the kind of situation that if I take it, my life will change?" As a good man of culture, he was already aware of the situation he was in.
Eyes gleaming with adventure, he picked up the spear...
"..." He waited, and he waited...
But nothing happened...
"As expected, nothing happened, I'm dreaming too much... Sigh."
The man assessed the spear and realized that it looked like a rather old spear. "Whatever, I'll just take it home and put it as a decoration or something."
And that was the worst decision he made that day. Suddenly that night, when he was stroking his goose, several men wearing priest's clothes arrived at his house, used some kind of weird power, and erased his memory. They also took the spear.
But if they erased his memory, how does he remember that? Simple, that Japanese Milf restored his memory.
Because of the shock of having restored his memory, he did what every normal person would do; he ran like crazy.
Coming out of his memories, he said:
"But that woman... She sure is hot..." As he thought he was alone, he spoke his honest thoughts.
"Ara, thank you."
"!!!" The man jumped back and saw a Japanese woman looking at him... She didn't look very happy, although she was smiling.
"...You're going to talk to me now, right?"
"... Well, I have to feed my black cat..."
BOOOOM!
The woman stomped on the ground heavily, and the ground cracked in the shape of a spider's web.
"Right?" She continued to smile gently.
Seeing the woman's lifeless smile, he said, "...Yes, Milf."
"Huuh?" Several veins popped in the woman's head.
"I mean, lady."
"Good." The woman exhibited a neutral smile, "Do you have somewhere we can talk?"
"Yes, I do. Follow me…" The man turned and started walking.
"A warning, don't run away. Next time, I won't be kind."
Gulp.
"...Yes." Somehow hearing it from a hot milf got him a little excited.
"..." The woman's gaze twitched several times, "I feel like you're thinking bullshit."
"It's your imagination! Let's go!" He started walking faster.
The woman nodded her head, but before following the man, she took another item from her pocket and threw it on the floor, so the floor she broke seems to be fixed as if it's going back in time.
The man took the woman to a Petshop.
"Pet Shop?"
"Yes, this is an establishment created by my childhood friend that should be easy to talk to here." The man spoke when entering the establishment, while he totally ignored the closed sign.
"Hmm…" The woman looked around.
[This is magic... A high-level barrier has been placed here, be careful.] The old man spoke in the woman's mind.
When the man entered the establishment, he said:
"Leona, can I borrow the back rooms for a few minutes?"
"Hmm?" A woman with long white hair and pale skin, sapphire blue eyes looked at the man, "Oh, it's you Fred."
"Yes."
"Why do you want the back rooms…-" Leona stopped talking when she saw the Japanese woman enter the establishment.
"… Frederick Winter, my dear childhood friend… You didn't become a degenerate, right? I don't want my childhood friend to become like Andrew…" Leona smiled gently as she held a knife in her hand.
Fred sweated a lot, but he said in a dry tone, "…Are you serious? Look at me, do you think I have the potential to be Playboy?"
"…" Leona stopped, looking at Fred from top to bottom.
"If you took that ridiculous shirt off, cut your hair, corrected your attitude, you'd look good...you'd look good just like our friends Andrew and Victor..." She looked sad for a moment when she spoke Victor's name.
'That idiot, he hasn't been in touch for six months.' Somehow she was getting annoyed, but she tried her best to control herself. 'Take a deep breath, don't let the wolf's side influence you.'
"Impossible." Fred shook his head several times and made the 'X' symbol with his hand. "I will never abandon my culture."
{Krishna's home}
Krishna had explained the problem to his mother and everyone was just sitting in the lobby of the house which made the room seem pretty small.
"Fufufufu just go tell her the truth, It will surprise her but she will be fine."
This was all that Hanako had said before she told Victor to go do that right now.
"Mother it seems there are guests in the neighborhood, I will go check if they are not here with any bad intentions," Krishna said as he got up
"Young man... If you disappear again then be ready to be grounded for at least a month!" Hanako said with a stern look in her eyes.
Krishna just smiled and kissed her forehead before heading out.
Everyone looked at this happening with different reactions.
Pepper just smiled innocently while Scathach broke the bag's handle which was near her. Siena's eyes turned red while Lacus was the only one who spoke what everyone was thinking.
"ammmmm is it just me or there was some connection more than that of mother and child?"
Hanako just looked at them innocently while tilting her head a little.
***************
{The pet shop}
Krishna opened the door to the shop and entered to see Leona standing at the counter.
Leona looked at the 195+ cm tall Human walk in who seemed like a normal human but her senses were telling her that he was dangerous....not as much as her father level dangerous but comparable.
"Sorry but the shop is closed right now."
Krishna looked at her
"I am a friend of Victor and I wanted to talk to Fred do you know where he is."
Leona raises her eyebrow,"Do you have any proof for being a friend of Victor's"
"I am the guy who moved next door to him.... nothing much I can say to prove this friendship so it's up to you but I do need to talk to Fred to stop him in case he decides to join the inquisition."
"What!? how do you know..... nevermind let's go if what you say is true than I just let a priest into my shop."
"No need to worry she is a good one" Krishna smiled and they moved toward the back room of the shop.
