{Basement one of the lazing around lobby.}
Krishna was sitting on the couch lazily when he was going through his system.
Over the years nothing much had changed in the system, he had stopped using the summoning system while there really was nothing else on the system.
The system itself had said that while It was an everyday system there is no shop in it and the daily quest were also pretty mundane like a 100 km run or such, Special quests were rare but good items are only available from such quests.
Scathach walks into the room and sits next to Krishna," You are getting lazy stupid disciple."
Krishna smiles and lays his head in her lap which makes Scathach blush a little.
"Let your disciple indulge a little"
"I will be extra tough in the next training session."
"I would welcome that with open arms" Krishna smiles.
BADUMP
Scathch misses a heartbeat looking at Krishna smiling widely.
'is this why I started to love him so much??....huh?' Scathach as usual was such a big black hole that even if she herself says she loves Krishna she might still not be able to acknowledge it.
Then Krishna heard a BOOOM which signified that Victor had left.
"Does he have to do this every time he leaves."
And then there was another BOOOM... Victor was now standing in front of Krishna with Ruby in his arms.
"Where to" Krishna
"Sweden" Victor
Krishna opens a portal to Sweden and Victor goes through it.
Krishna then walks back to the couch and continues to laze around with Scathach.
One day later|
Krishna was coming back after completing a system-alloted quest.
He saw a man with sharp features and dark complexion.
"Who are you and why are you roaming around in my neighborhood?" Krishna asked the man while hiding all mana in him.
The man looked at him and raised an eye brow,"You seem too strong to be a human yet you seem a perfectly normal human."
"I am strong but I am still a human"
"Still a human eh... you know about the supernatural world? which system are you under."
"I am under no system and yes I know of other races." Krishna smiled and calmly kept answering the man's question.
"?? Why did you not like the system. You do know system could have helped you grow a lot more stronger."
"hahahahaha yeah but I do not wish to change my race and at the end of every system was a race change."
The woman behind him then speaks.
"You are strong in the human world but in the supernatural world you are but an ant."
"Yes but I am following the strongest human's way so one day I shall become as strong as him"
The dark man and his party raise an eyebrow.
"Well anyways I will get going since it seems you don't have any bad thoughts." Krishna simply walked away without saying anything else and the man also simply walked away.
When Krishna was having this meeting with a prince something was happening in Nightingale, precisely speaking, something was happening in the vampire king's castle.
A woman with long red hair that contained golden streaks at the ends was standing in front of Vlad. She was wearing a sensual black dress that clearly showed the skin of her large breasts and shoulders. The dress went to the floor and had an opening on the right leg that showed off her long black stockings that were showing off her thick legs.
She had a long black witch's hat with a small skull charm on top.
She was holding a white staff that was made from materials that appeared to be bones.
"Selena Moriarty."
"..." The woman looked at the man... Wrong, at the monster in front of her with her black eyes.
The monster in front of her had no shape or anything she could call a body. It just looked like blackness that existed right in front of her.
No matter how many times Selena looked at this monster, she always felt like she was facing a being different from her, a superior being.
'...It's a very different feeling to when I meet my mother.' She can't help but think that every time she runs into Vlad Tepes.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"It's been a while since you came to this world... How long has it been?" Vlad touched his chin.
"1000 years..." She spoke as if she was trying to remember.
"It's been so long, huh?"
"Yes."
"I see."
"..." A silence fell on the place.
"Well, in that case. I will change it to something that makes you more comfortable." Vlad's body of darkness started to change, and soon a man with long golden hair and blue eyes was in front of the woman. He was wearing medieval armor that had the symbol of a lion.
"What do you think?" He asked to know the woman's opinion.
"..." The woman was silent and didn't answer. She didn't know what to answer since she had already made a mistake in the past.
She unintentionally offended Vlad, and because of that, one of her sisters died that day.
Although it happened a long time ago, a time forgotten by humans, she still remembers that day very well.
And that day, she learned two things, never speak mindlessly in front of Vlad.
And that her mother was a whore.
... A normal mother would get revenge on her dead daughter, but her mother just ignored the matter as if it wasn't her problem.
Because of that, she was very careful when talking to Vlad.
Seeing that the man was still silent, she spoke:
"Normal… Your Majesty, why did you invite me to your castle? I thought everything was settled when I contacted the Snow Clan."
Vlad didn't change his expression. He wasn't offended by what the woman said either since it was normal for her to be afraid of him. After all, everyone is, so he said:
"I'm curious about something..."
He rests his face on his hand and looks at the woman with a neutral gaze:
"Does your mother still have an interest in the uncharted lands of the Nightingale?" He asked simply, in an easy-to-understand way.
Although it seemed like a non-committal question.
Selena knew this was a dangerous question, considering depending on what she answered, the witches' neutrality treaty with vampires could end, and a possible war could ensue.
She didn't fear war. After all, they are witches, and they always have a way to avoid death as long as the soul is not destroyed. And since witches are a Neutral Faction, they wouldn't be alone if she went to war.
Werewolves and humans, even supernatural beings that aren't in these conflicts, will help the witches...
Most likely...
She thinks this because she knows that witches have a lot of technologies that everyone wants, but they always have the option to use some information and blackmail them...
The problem was the Godkill family since it is one of the very few factors that directly attack the main advantage of Witches, convenience since witches made life convenient for many people through magic and now the Godkill familial.....or more precisely Krishna alone has become a factor who might be able to create competition in the market.
Of course even the witch queen did not know the full capabilities of our boy but Selena was not as egoistical, prideful, or overconfident as the witch queen which made her be wary of this unknown factor.
"Selena?"
Waking up from her stupor, Selena looked at Vlad, "Oh..."
"You keep overthinking things, huh."
"..." She was silent, and then spoke, "My mother has no interest in the Nightingale lands, as it was said the day I communicated with her subordinate, I only came to this place to seek a possible partnership with the new Count of Vampires." As the Count responsible for exploring this world, Victor basically smelled like money for all witches.
"And who gave that order to you?"
"She didn't give any orders. I came of my own free will, I think partnering with the new count and contracting him for life is a good way to earn money."
Vlad's eyes narrowed for a few seconds, but they soon returned to normal without even the woman noticing that something had changed in his expression.
"Are you going to watch the game?"
"I will, it's a rare opportunity to see two vampire counts fighting at their fullest."
"I see, enjoy the game, even for us, this kind of event is quite rare..."
"Indeed." Certainly, the fight between two vampire counts isn't something you see every day, "It's quite a special occasion indeed." She flashed a small professional smile.
"Because of that..." Vlad's smile grew a little, "I prepared something special, I hope you like it."
"... I will." She got a bad feeling about that smile since usually when this man smiled, nothing good ever happened.
"You can go now."
The woman held her dress and made a gesture of respect as if she were a high class lady, and then she turned and walked towards the exit.
When the woman left the castle, a portal appeared next to the throne, and soon the subordinate, who is Vlad's right hand, came out of the portal. Strangely, this man's eyes were wide open.
"Notice something?" Vlad asked as he looked into the eyes that had the appearance of a galaxy.
"As we expected, My King." Alexios closed his eyes and replied in a neutral voice:
"Her memories have been erased."
"What a cruel woman, doing this to her own daughters…" Vlad flashed a small smile.
Vlad is an old monster, and he's used to dealing with the witches' little games, so when he heard that the witch queen's daughter wanted to come to his realm, his suspicious instincts triggered like crazy.
"If that woman just wanted business, she wouldn't send her eldest daughter." Vlad spoke in a neutral tone.
And then Alexios continued, "She would send another witch, but didn't that also figure into her calculations? She knew you would be suspicious of her daughter."
"Yes, I don't doubt she thought of that too. After all, it's the most logical thought given the circumstances."
"I wonder what her goal is."
"...We don't know...yet." Vlad looked at the ceiling, and soon several shadows began to descend on the floor and appeared in front of Vlad kneeling.
"Watch that woman, that man's son, and that cunning human."
"The woman must be watched from afar, beware of her curses."
"the man... I leave the decision to you, deal with him as you see fit."
"The human can be approached but since he has Scathach with him use the special units... there will be casualties so make sure the poison is stronger than usual."
"..." The shadows nodded and then disappeared.

Now for those of you who do not read the novel on which this one is based (you really should, I myself love it and that is why I wrote this) this is the time when a time skip happens and what Krishna did in that time skip..... I will tell when I feel like it HAHAHAHAHAHAhahaha.....cough.cough

{Earth}
A year had gone by and Krishna had done all that he had planned for the year.
"It is time to go back.... that ego-full man still did not come to ask for help. eh who cares he will make it back anyways, let's go back since...."
Krishna's face shows a grim expression," No one hurts my family.... no one"
He opens a portal and goes through it.
{Nightingale, capital city}
The fight was at the stage where Natashia had almost lost and Sasha was getting held back by Adonis
"The game isn't over... Remember, it's a fight to the death, both of you agreed to that."
"You think I care!? It's my mom who's lying there and about to be killed!" Sasha screamed, her voice coming out like the crack of lightning.
"..." A moment of silence fell in place, and for the first time in Violet's life, she saw something that shocked her.
"You do not understand!?" Adonis lost his gentle face and spoke in a serious voice, the man's eyes changed to blood red, and he stared at Sasha.
"By interrupting the duel, you're basically stepping on the pride of two Vampire Counts! Two elder vampires! Who do you think you are, child!?"
BOOOOOM
Adonis went flying toward Violet while Krishna who had just appeared out of a portal Supported Sasha.
"Are you ok dear sister."
Sasha looked at Krishna and then suddenly remembered about her mother.
"Calm down... Your brother is here now" Krishna patted her head and walked toward the arena.
"Adonis the next time I see you pressuring my family member I will annihilate your existence..... not even the king will be able to save you.
Krishna then warped right next to Natashia.
he first cut off his arm with his bare hand and then he kicked Niklaus in the gut to send him flying into the wall of the arena.
"collect, cure" a magic circle appeared around Natashia and a black substance came out of her body which Krishna then sent to his inventory.
As soon as that substance left Natashia's body it started healing at a rapid speed,"Natashia wake up, stop worrying your daughter."
Krishna's words laced with mana reached Natashia which in turn acted as a blast of energy to wake her up.
Natashia woke up to see her body regenerating properly without any delay.
"Don't get poisoned again, stupid woman." Krishna walked away from her.
she just looked at his back and then looked toward Niklaus who was walking toward them.
Natashia's eyes glowed blood red, and when she went to make a move, suddenly Niklaus said:
"Wait!" He made a stopping gesture and looked to the sky:
"This man has interfered in the duel, isn't that against the rules?" He spoke in a simple, easy-to-understand tone.
"..." Everyone was silent.
They all thought... Bruh, don't break the mood, read the mood! The weather!
But Niklaus didn't care about that, as he looked at the referee who appeared in the arena:
"Hmm... Well... I think, yes...?" The referee, however, looked carefully to see Krishna's reaction.
"See?" Niklaus' smile grew a little. "I clearly would have won if it weren't for this man's interference. What should we do about it?"
"Hmmm...Hmm..." The referee didn't know what to do, and, to be honest, he just wanted to get out of there. He didn't have the balls to get into an argument between two vampire counts and an ex-Countess.
"Pussy." Natashia spat on the floor.
"..." Niklaus looked at the woman, "My lady, it was you who was losing a few seconds ago, if it weren't for the interference of your... helper? I would have already won this duel."
"Rules?? Niklaus do you wish for me to announce who is backing you" Krishna very calmly spoke yet everyone could hear him clearly.
"Should I announce the content of the poison you used or should I speak of the atrocities your associates are committing all around the universe.... Don't talk to me about rules Niklaus since only the strong make the rules and even if I was not stronger than you I have enough blackmail material to make you beg!" Krishna was now smiling so widely that it seemed almost demonic.
"It's your lucky day since someone else's fuckup saved your ass." Saying this Krishna looked at the King and his aid.
"Just finish him off Natashia... the duel will continue, isn't that right king of Vampires." Krishna flew up till he was on the same level as the King.
"No rules were broken, the game goes on." King
"..." An even deeper silence fell over the entire arena.
Some vampires wanted to say that this was clearly favoritism! But they didn't have the balls to question the king.
"Witch did you understand the magic I used?... HAHAHAHAHA who am I kidding of course you didn't. Well nothing to fret about just show the picture of the spell to your mother.... so that she can be as frustrated as you HAHAHAHAHAHA"
Selena's face was anything but pretty right now, She was initially baffled by the spell but after the clear provocation, she was actually frustrated and angry that she truly could not figure out what the spell was!!
What came after the anger subsided was, fear... fear of being outdone in what they are best at.
Krishna kept laughing as he went back to the room only to see Scathach and Agnes facing off.
"I will kill that worm!!" Agnes
"Watch what you are saying Agnes" Scathach.
Violet was standing next to her Father while Adonis was trying to calm Agnes down.
"Alright alright calm down."Krishna said as he entered the room.
"Uncle!!" Ophis teleported to his shoulder.
"Hahahahah little Ophis how are you, here take a candy" Krishna was happy seeing her little niece and gave her a mana candy.
Ophis smiled cutely.
He walked up to Scathach and hugged her,"I missed you so much"
Scathach was initially a little stunned but after seeing Krishna's eyes which seemed to have a lonely feeling she could not guess what had happened but something had happened.
She hugged him back and felt a warm yet tingling feeling creeping up her gut which then spread all throughout her body... she felt at peace.
Agnes who was going on about killing him was stunned seeing him hugging Scathach
'Is Scathach in love?? what is happening here!?'
Krishna stopped hugging her and then looked toward Agnes.
"If any being who is not a part of my familia touches a person who is a part of it... I will just kill, kill till nobody of his kin is left, kill till any acquaintance of that being are left. The only reason he is still alive is because he is Violet's Father.... I do not wish to kill anyone who is dear to a member of my Familia...."
"WHAT GIVES YOU THE POWER TO DO THI-"
Krishna released his pressure which could now overpower Agnes and Natashia but was still just a tad bit lower than Scathach.
As soon as Scathach felt this pressure her legs became weak and she got wet,'HAS HE REACHED IT?! no.... but he is almost there!'
Krishna looked at her and shook his head,"Just one more push"
Scathach nodded her head as she stood up straight... Image is important to everyone, especially the strong!
Krishna retracted the pressure
" Look" he pointed toward the arena.
Niklaus had admitted defeat but it was not in his destiny to get out all safe... Victor too came through a portal right at this moment.
Krishna saw him come and nodded,'week?.... yeah should be about 1 to 2 weeks more than me. Sigh did you forget Natalia or were you annoyed too? Either way, not something I have to think much about.'
