It didn't come as a shock that the System would give him a quest. What made Miller uncomfortable was the fact that he couldn't sense the Dhampir.
'I really understand why this Creature is a Vampire's Greatest Enemy.' He thought as he remembered the story of The War of Olds told to them by Alex.
"Come out Wherever you are." Miller said pretending like he wasn't a bit scared.
"You are not of importance." The voice said echoing everywhere in the woods. "You are not even a Vampire so why should i bother."
"I taught the Demolisher was a Vampire in disguise, that's why i followed you here. But you are clearly not one of them." The Voice echoed again in the woods, the voice could be heard everywhere all at once. It made Miller wander if this was some kind of mind game. He couldn't even see the person. "But you have a smell that is not human. So what exactly are you."
After those words were spoken about ten foot away from Miller at the top of a tree branch. A figure started to appear out of nowhere.
'He had been invisible all this while.' Miller said. 'How did he do that.'
The person then jumped from the tree branch and landed on the floor. The figure stood before Miller, a creature of darkness and shadow. Its features were hidden by a mask that bore the likeness of a demon, with sharp angles and a cruel smile. It was clad in black armor from head to toe, with intricate details carved into the metal. On its chest was a symbol that resembled a crown, twisted and stained with blood. Its belt was adorned with strange gadgets and devices, and its boots were heavy and spiked. In its hands were two swords, their blades glinting in the moonlight. As it looked at Miller, its eyes seemed to burn with a cold, otherworldly light.
"Who are you." Miller said, trying to look courageous.
'That's Miller Edward.' The person behind the mask taught a bit shocked as he recognized the boy's face. Miller's Demolisher's suit had many tears all over due to him almost turning into the 'Killer Mode Monster'. The suit didn't rip completely. Just the back were the wings would have appeared. His hands, his face were the spikes would have come from. So it was for someone to identify him.
"Answer this question." The person said, its voice was deep. "Are you on the Vampires Side?"
"I don't know what you are talking about. I don't even know A Vampire." Miller said not revealing anyone's identity. "Do they even exist."
"Don't mess with me. Fool." The person said. "Now tell me Are you on the Vampires side?" The Dhampir asked again.
"What other side is there." Miller said a bit confused. "I am on the Human side."
"This isn't funny." The Dhampir replied and it was clear he was angry due to Miller response. "Humans are not involved in this War."
"I can't be on the Dhampir's side and neither can i be on the Vampires Side." Miller replied this time firmly. "I am on Humanities Side."
The Dhampir then stretched his blade and swung it in the air a few times, showing how skillful he was with his sword. "I ask again, are you in the Dhampir's side?" The Dhampir asked and this time he pointed one of the sword which he held at his right hand at Miller.
"No, I am not." Miller said firmly and this time clenching his fist. It was clear that this person was going to attack him at any second.
"I am sorry for doing this Miller." The Dhampir said as he dashed towards Miller.
'How did he know my name.' Miller thought confused, but couldn't complete his thoughts as the Dhampir had thrown the Sword in his right hand aiming for Miller's right shoulder.

In an instant Miller's own shadow moved from underneath his feet in a lightning speed and then raised in front of him to block the Sword.
'This would give me some time to...' Miller couldn't complete his sentence as to his shock the blade went passed his Shadow like it wasn't there and then with lightning speed it stabbed his right shoulder, forcefully pinning him against a nearby tree.
Miller instantly used his left hand to drag the blade out of his shoulder and was now on his foot. The Dhampir was walking to him gradually.
'Why doesn't it want to heal.' Miller thought confused looking at his new wound. And then all of a sudden the pain increased in that area.
"Curse You!" Miller shouted at the top of his voice as he was now on one knee bearing the pain. He still held the Dhampir's sword in his right hand and immediately the Dhampir stretched his hand forward. The sword started to vibrate like it was alive and left Miller's grip making it's way to the Dhampir's hand.
'What the hell is that was it Magic.' Miller thought confused. But he was also sure a Dhampir could learn Magic. As Catherine could.
The Dhampir was moving closer to Miller step by step slowly and held his blade tight like he was hesitating to kill Miller.
"Do you know who i am?" Miller asked the Dhampir.
"It is none of your concern." The Dhampir said and now his blade was only an inch away from Miller's neck.

Miller was stunned by this.
"I bet if i stab your neck. You would die." The Dhampir said. "You are too weak."
"I am not weak. I just wanted you to fall into my trap." Miller said.
"What trap?" The Dhampir asked confused and this time moved his blade slightly forward trying to press Miller's neck a bit.
But Miller stood on his feet and moved backwards away from the blade. The Demolisher instantly felt a bit weak.
