Chereads / First Vampire God / Chapter 5 - Bound by Betrayal

Chapter 5 - Bound by Betrayal

While standing, Leon suddenly collapsed from exhaustion after using all his energy to free Flora and fight against Levi. As he collapsed, Flora came to his aid, supporting him. When Leon regained consciousness, he found himself on a rough floor. It wasn't his first time waking up like this, but he had hoped for something softer and more comfortable. however Reality was harsh.

As he woke up, he looked at Flora and greeted her. She seemed lost in thought. He noticed that her clothes were torn from the battle with Levi, revealing some of her skin. As he looked at her, Flora blushed and said, "Stop looking at it," then punched him in the face, sending him flying a short distance.

Leon asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Flora replied, "For about an hour."

Leon then asked, "What will we do from now on?"

Flora responded, "I was trying to contact my old house."

Leon looked around and asked "where is you brother who was controlled by Levi" he asked She then pointed to a rock where her brother was sleeping and said, "my brother, who was controlled by Levi, is sleeping over there."

Leon changing the subject Leon asked about the battle, "Did we kill Levi?"

Flora shook her head. "No, we didn't kill Levi. He escaped."

"How did he escape like that?" Leon asked.

"He used a unique skill," Flora answered.

Confused, Leon asked, "What do you mean by unique skill?"

Flora explained, "Oh, you're from the inner world. There are no unique skills there, right?"

Leon nodded. "Yes."

Flora continued, "Unique skills are given by the world's will when someone achieves God-level status. I thought your barrier magic was your unique skill."

"No," Leon said. "I acquired the barrier ability when I became a vampire."

Flora looked at Leon with surprise. "So, you're from a higher race in your world?"

"Yes, something like that," Leon replied. "We're considered a higher race compared to humans, but there are gods too. They form a group of gods we call pantheons."

Flora listened and said, "Yes, there are pantheons like that here too. But those gods don't focus on one world. They control different universes at the same time."

Leon asked, "Does that mean this universe where we currently live is also under the control of a gods' pantheon?"

Flora said, "No," and explained, "Those whose power isn't enough to defend against the conquerors who constantly attacking other universes for minerals, wealth, will go to join pantheon"

Leon, still confused, asked, "Conquerors? Who are they?"

Flora rubbed her head. "You don't know about Conquerors? They're gods from other universes who attack other universes for resources and power."

Returning to the subject of skills, Leon asked, "Does that mean you also have a unique skill?"

Flora nodded. "Yes, but not now. Did I not tell you I was betrayed and accused, and chained up?"

Leon remembered. "Yes, you did."

Flora continued, "I also had a unique ability, but it's sealed in me now."

Leon asked about the accusation. "Can you explain the accusation that led to you being sealed away?"

Flora nodded and started to explain. She remembered her master, a high elf with slightly long ears, white hair, sky-blue eyes, and skin as white as daylight. Her master was very beautiful. She was under her master's tutelage.

Leon asked, "So, you were under a master who was very beautiful?"

Flora, reminiscing the past, smiled. "Yes, she was very beautiful. She was one of the most beautiful and lady in this kingdom, highly regarded by the royal family."

Leon asked, "Are you also a royal family member?"

Flora shook her head. "No, I'm not from a royal family. I was born into a noble family, but due to power struggles, I was cast out. My master took me in. That's where I met Levi. We fell in love, but he turned out to be a traitor. He planned and framed me for my master's murder with the help of the royal family. They feared my master's rising influence and wanted her gone. So, they put the blame on me and sealed me away."

Leon asked, "How did he strategize and show you as the murderer?"

Flora, with sadness in her expression, started to explain. "One day, Levi came to my dorm with sweets, saying they were popular in the royal capital and that my master loved them. When I visited my master, I gave her the sweets. What I didn't know was that Levi had poisoned them with something only effective on elves. When my master ate them, she started coughing up blood. Before I could help, Levi and guards burst in, accusing me of poisoning her. I was arrested and sealed away here."

Leon comforted her. "We'll get revenge on Levi. No matter what, I'll help you."

As They agreed to form a contract. If Leon would help Flora kill the betrayers, and in return, she would be his and have to answer all his questions about the world and be his ally. As both agreed Flora started use magic A magical circle appeared. Flora instructed Leon to drop a blood drop onto it. As they did, the magic circle glowed and then vanished into thin air, sealing their pact.
