"Master, calm down. It wasn't your fault that they didn't die," Lily's voice rang in William's ears.
"Lily, you don't have to console me. I know the truth," William said, calming down slightly.
"Hehehe, kid. I gave you a blood spell to imprint, but you didn't listen to me. If you had cultivated the blood spell, this wouldn't have happened," Asmodeus' voice also rang in his ears.
"You…" William cursed speechlessly.
The wind rustled in the forest, tickling his skin as he was left alone to contemplate, soaked in blood.
After a long time gathering his strength, William stood up and walked out of the forest with determination shining in his eyes.
"I will imprint the blood spell as well, Asmodeus."
"As you should, since now you have the bloodline of a true vampire," Asmodeus' voice resounded in William's head again.
