Chapter 52 - CHAPTER 52: Resistance

Happy reading!

==========

Inside the Bloodmoon family residence, a man was seen carrying a girl and placing her under the floor.

Around her was a strange, dark magic circle.

"Sorry my daughter... I will revive you." said the man in a heavy tone, veins visible around his head.

He was so angry that he bit his own lip, blood could be seen flowing from his mouth.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand right in front of his daughter.

"Rise." when he said those words, a chill was felt everywhere, the floor around him became frozen.

A figure similar to Claudia appears, only it forms a spirit.

No one can see spirits unless there are creatures who have special eyes.

The man narrowed his eyes. Not long after, a spirit similar to Claudia entered his daughter's body.

It comes in little by little until it's finally finished.

Suddenly her body trembled, until her hips lifted upwards.

"Ahhh!" Claudia's corpse screamed in pain, even her eyes opened.

It's just that it's black, with no eyes at all.

Blood was flowing from it, very disgusting.

"Wait, you will come back to life soon."

It went on for several minutes until it finally finished, revealing Claudia's body which had regained its composure.

Her fingers started to move and even her eyelids moved. She will wake up.

The man continued to wait until finally she opened her eyelids completely, it was clear that her eyes had returned to normal.

"Cough-" Claudia, she spat out a mouthful of blood from her mouth.

It's just that it's black, so disgusting.

"F-Father..." she said with a face full of fear.

The man immediately approached his daughter, knowing that her face was filled with fear for him.

He hugged her gently, "sorry, father had to do it or 'that person' would target us." he said angrily.

"..." Claudia didn't reply to her father's words, she was still very scared.

Remembering her own death, seeing something scary.

Of course the man knew this and didn't say anything, letting his daughter feel at ease.

...

Ethan, he is now sitting in a luxurious restaurant.

To the left there is a glass wall that shows the vampire city from above.

There are similar lights in the human world, very beautiful.

Even though it looks ancient, it is enough to make Ethan admire this place even more.

Suddenly the food came, he looked back at his table.

For some reason the dishes here contained beef, which made him a little surprised.

Staring at where Aurora was, in front of him.

"This… Is this really the world of vampires?" asked Ethan confused.

"Of course, what's wrong with us vampires eating human food too?" she answered slowly, a beautiful smile on her face.

"um, no... I was just asking, that's all." Ethan immediately forgot about it, after all it didn't matter to him.

Realizing that this place served dishes like humans were enough for him, after all it must be very delicious.

Unfortunately it only lasted a moment after seeing the drink served on the table, it was red.

Ethan started to get suspicious, trying to smell it.

And sure enough, it smelled like blood.

"Ugh... Is this drinkable?" he asked, full of doubt.

Aurora, she didn't know what to say. After all, Ethan was still human.

Looking to the left, it was the three servants Ethan and Aria.

They drank the drink very casually, and enjoyed it.

Likewise with Ethan, he continued to stare while watching the four of them drink the blood-based drink casually.

"..." slightly narrowed his eyes, while looking at the cup nearby.

Curiosity struck his heart, he really wanted to try it.

"gulp-" he swallowed hard while holding the stem of his glass.

It looks luxurious, and expensive.

Glasses commonly used in five star restaurants.

Aurora who saw his actions immediately realized what he was going to do, but she had absolutely no intention of stopping him.

After the glass reached his mouth, Ethan drank it without hesitation.

He kept drinking it until there was nothing left, he didn't feel anything.

Even though there was a slight taste of iron in this drink blood, it didn't disgust him.

"..." He trailed off, not believing that he would drink something as disgusting as this.

Even so, it feels pretty good. Whether he was crazy or what, Ethan liked this a little.

Aurora, unable to say anything even her expression froze.

Can't believe that one day humans will drink the blood of unknown creatures. She began to doubt whether Ethan was human or not.

[Ding! Host, you have gained poison resistance of 0.1%!]

"...?!" Ethan's expression froze, looking at the notification that appeared in front of him.

'W-Wait, what does that mean? And also how did I get something like this!' Ethan shouted in his heart, his face filled with shock.

[Host, remember you are humans now, and once again you are so bold as to drink the blood of one of your kind!]

[It is highly poisonous, and again its blood contains extremely high vitality.]

'Eh?! So how can I still live?' Ethan asked in disbelief.

[Hah... You have reached level 10, which means your body's endurance has exceeded that of ordinary humans.]

[And also the host subconsciously adapts to the poison you absorb, making it your own.]

'...' hearing the explanation from the system he widened his eyes, not expecting it to turn out like this.

Suddenly a big smile appeared on his face, he was happy.

Felt it was not a waste to come to this restaurant, and was very grateful to Aurora for allowing him to do so.

Aurora, she was still silent and continued to stare at Ethan.

Seeing him fine was enough to make her even more surprised than before, as if nothing had happened.

"... Are you human?" she asked, hoping to get an honest answer from his mouth.

"Eh... Isn't that obvious?" Ethan answered slowly, a hint of doubt showing on his face.

He doubted himself after swallowing the blood of one of his race, and nothing happened.

Even Aria and his three servants were the same, they looked at him doubtfully.

Ethan was a little awkward about this situation, and immediately looked away.

Looking back at the beef near the table, can't wait to try it.

Holding a fork and knife similar to the human world, and cutting it.

"cut-"

He skewered one of the pieces of meat and immediately put it in his mouth and chewed.

"D-Delicious... This is so delicious!" Ethan screamed with joy, tears even flowing down his cheeks.

"Hehe, as long as you like it, no problem!" Aurora answered enthusiastically. it's nice to see this human being happy with the food in her world.

Ethan had no intention of stopping eating the meat, he continued to devour it like a vacuum cleaner.

"yum-" "yum-"

After swallowing the last piece of meat his face was very sad, feeling that it was still not enough.

Turned to where Aurora was, his face full of pleading.

Aurora just smiled amusedly and immediately called a maid here.

"What's wrong, princess?" asked the maid while bowing her body.

Showing her respect.

"Order more steak, just give me 6." Aurora said in an indifferent tone.

"Understood." Immediately the maid left the place and immediately went down the stairs to the lower floor.

"... Thank You." Ethan said quietly, feeling pleased with the woman in front of him.

"No need, eat as much as you like! I'll pay!" Aurora answered, her face filled with a big smile.

"Okay!" Ethan immediately agreed. After all, it's free food, right? As long as he doesn't pay, it doesn't matter.

Aria and his three servants could only remain silent hearing their strange interactions.

"Eh... The princess seems to really like Master, do they have a special relationship?" Stella asked, in a low voice afraid they would hear her.

She was now sitting in the middle of her two colleagues, making her feel a little safe.

"I think so…" answered Lydia as she continued sipping her drink.

"What do you think, Lady? Are they close enough?" Victoria asked, she was now sitting next to Aria.

"That's right... I myself didn't think that my little brother knew the princess." Aria answered slowly, without any emotion showing on her face.

She was actually jealous of Aurora, but immediately rejected this strange thought.

Even though Ethan had taken her virginity, he was still a little brother to her. Don't want her image to be damaged.

Especially in front of the three new servants who would be living with them, it made it a little awkward.

Finally she tried to forget about it, and continued to focus on the food on the table.

[8:26 minutes left to return to the human world.]

Ethan stared forward, looking at the notification from the system.

Feeling safe means he still has time to taste the food at this place.

Ethan continued to wait for 3 minutes, until finally the food was brought.

"Enjoy, sir." said the waiter in a respectful tone, although there was no smile on her face.

'Human... Why did the princess have to bring him here?' the maid asked herself, not daring to ask her directly.

Finally she could only put all the plates near Ethan's table and immediately left there.

Aurora, she was actually aware of the vampires's attitude towards Ethan. Even though she was angry, she still restrained herself.

Don't want to cause chaos with her race, that would be very chaotic.

Returning her focus to staring at Ethan in front of her, he was now devouring his food.

It lasted up to 3 minutes, and it was done.

[2:10 minutes remaining.]

"..." Ethan fell silent looking at the notification in front of him.

Even though he felt sad because he had to leave this place, Ethan still had to do it.

Moreover, this place still felt dangerous to him and the vampires around him looked at him with disdain. Made him feel uncomfortable.

"hah..." he took a deep breath, preparing to stand up from his seat.

"Once again I thank you very much for the food you have given us, Aurora." Ethan said politely while placing his left hand on his chest.

"Didn't I tell you not to be too polite?" Aurora said softly, a smile on her face.

"Uh, it feels strange not to show my gratitude to you..." Ethan answered hesitantly, not intending to look elsewhere.

He kept looking at Aurora's face, seeing how beautiful she was.

"Okay, I'll accept it." Aurora said quietly, and immediately stood up from her chair.

"Let's go." Soon, she walked back past Aria and his three servants.

"You four, we'll be heading home now." Ethan said calmly, looking at the four of them.

"nod-"

The four of them nodded their heads and immediately stood up from their respective chairs.

"step-" "step-" "step-"

They continued walking, until they finally went down the stairs.

Seeing Aurora paying for food at the cashier.

Ethan, who was curious, immediately approached it and was surprised to see how much it cost.

<1,786 dollars.>

It was written on a piece of paper that Aurora was holding.

Seeing she holding a wad of money in her hand shocked her greatly.

Probably in the tens of thousands of dollars range, pretty crazy.
