Last night, when Nrvnqsr saw Arcueid, he referred to her as: "The executioner of vampires."
Yes.
The Executioner of Vampires.
That is the purpose of Arcueid's existence.
As mentioned before, in this world, vampires are divided into two types.
One is the natural-born vampire, the True Ancestor.
The other is the reincarnated vampire, the Dead Apostle.
True Ancestors are formed from the essence of nature, they are born naturally like other living beings, and they do not need to consume nutrients like humans or other creatures to sustain life.
In addition, their life force, regenerative ability, and combat power surpass those of other beings, and they possess eternal life. Therefore, True Ancestors can be considered the most perfect beings in this world.
However, even such beings have a single flaw.
And that single flow is the Vampiric Impulse.
Similar to the Demon Hunter impulse of the Nanaya Clan, True Ancestors also have an uncontrollable Vampiric Impulse.
When this Vampiric Impulse is triggered, True Ancestors lose all reason and attack humans to drink their blood.
Because of this uncontrollable Vampiric Impulse, True Ancestors are divided into two factions with different responses.
One faction does not want to succumb to the vampiric impulse and become mindless beasts.
This faction of True Ancestors usually uses their own power to suppress the Vampiric Impulse, which significantly reduces their power. When they can no longer suppress the Vampiric Impulse, they usually choose to sleep and lock themselves in coffins.
The other faction is completely unconcerned with this, or eventually gives in and chooses to fall, becoming slaves to the Vampiric Impulse.
This faction of True Ancestors either ruthlessly attacks humans when the vampiric impulse is triggered, or prepares blood bags in advance, treating humans capable of producing blood as a food supply.
This is how the Dead Apostles were born.
The first Dead Apostles were humans turned into vampires by the blood-sucking True Ancestors.
Unlike the True Ancestors, however, the Dead Apostles are not perfect. Their immortality is incomplete, and they must drink human blood to maintain their bodies.
Humans bitten by Dead Apostles also have a chance of becoming vampires.
As the True Ancestors succumbed to their vampiric impulses, they continued to suck blood, turning humans into Dead Apostles.
Dead Apostles, for their own survival, continued to bite humans, turning them into more Dead Apostles.
The result was an abnormal increase in the number of Dead Apostles.
In this situation, the True Ancestors who managed to control their vampiric impulses and did not fall saw this as a crisis, believing that the fallen True Ancestors and the ever-growing number of Dead Apostles would eventually become a threat.
Therefore, Arcueid was born.
Arcueid was created by the True Ancestors to annihilate the fallen True Ancestors and inferior Dead Apostles.
Arcueid possesses power far exceeding that of True Ancestors.
Even against those fallen True Ancestors who do not need to use their power to suppress their vampiric impulses and can use their power without restraint to change the landscape, Arcueid has the ultimate power to destroy them.
As such, Arcueid is revered by the True Ancestors as a princess and given the title of Royal Family. In reality, she is merely a weapon of destruction.
However, Arcueid's immense power is an undeniable fact.
According to Fang Li's knowledge, if Arcueid were to go all out and use all of her power, her combat strength would qualify her as one of the strongest creature in the world.
Third Rank?
No.
At full strength, Arcueid is most likely a Second Rank existence.
In the known supernatural circle, people even evaluate Arcueid like this:
"Given enough time, this White Princess could destroy an entire continent; it's just a matter of time.
That is Arcueid's power.
Such a princess, even if she is killed by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, can simply use her own power to reverse death and resurrect.
It's clear from this how powerful Arcueid is.
As the True Ancestor and exterminator of the Dead Apostles, Arcueid became the executioner of vampires.
Eight hundred years ago, Arcueid wiped out all the fallen True Ancestors and exterminated most of the Dead Apostles, surpassing even the Sacred Hall Church, which hunts heretics.
Coming to this city was part of her mission and due to some personal grievances, she intended to hunt down the Vampire causing havoc here.
As for Nrvnqsr, he was just an assassin sent to hunt Arcueid.
As the executioner of vampires, Arcueid's power is feared by all vampires. Many Dead Apostles see her as a great enemy and want to eliminate her.
As a result, Nrvnqsr has been pursuing her and accidentally encountered Arcueid when she was weakened after being killed once.
This explains why Arcueid came to Misaki Town to deal with the vampire here and why Nrvnqsr was after her.
However, explaining all this to Tohno Shiki would probably only confuse him.
So Fang Li explained it simply:
"Humans can kill each other, so why can't vampires do the same?"
That left Tohno Shiki speechless.
Arcueid, while continuing to eat her bread, looked at Fang Li and Tohno Shiki and spoke with a muffled voice.
"I just never thought that there would be two monsters here. The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception have never appeared among the True Ancestors or the Dead Apostles, yet two humans here have these eyes. Humans are indeed a race favored by the world."
Saying this, Arcueid looked at Fang Li.
"Especially you, who not only possess those eyes but also have enough fighting power to rival the Dead Apostle Twenty-seven Ancestors. For those of us who rely on immortality, you are a nightmare.
"If the Church knew of your existence, they would spare no effort to bring you in and train you as their best executor."
"If the Magecraft Association knew of your existence, they would definitely come for your eyes."
"If the guy who killed me once is a monster, then you are a monster among monsters."
"Even I don't want to be your enemy."
With that, Arcueid finished her last bite of bread, extended her hand, and suddenly grabbed Fang Li and Tohno Shiki.
"Come with me."
With this statement, Arcueid started to walk out.
"Hey..."
"Wait..."
Fang Li and Tohno Shiki couldn't even finish their sentences before they were dragged away by Arcueid.
