Some minutes ago, before Tina and Janam entered the base.
--
Jin arrived there at the same time when they had entered. But he was able to hear the curse tina through at him before entering. He frowned, not expecting the curse at all! "what the hell do they think! These kinds of missions are the easiest in the Cultivator realm. To think that a pair of Vampires from this world are not even able to accomplish that! Pathetic!" jin said out loud and was prepared to enter the base to make sure that nothing would happen with his two helpers. Although they had powerful skills to back them up, but Tina and Janam were only level 5 and six respectively and the people they were about to face were at least level 20 according to what jin estimated. But he had no idea if they could Handel themselves in there so he decided to head inside also to save them, but also to check their capabilities. He wanted to be sure that he had not grabbed the rotten apples instead of the good ones.
But as he was about to enter and only took a couple of steps, he received a new notification from the Mutation records system inside him.
'new quest received.

'new quest received.
Quest name: Cultivation.

After seeing the quest, jin was completely shocked beyond belief! He had never expected to receive such a quest in a way like this at all!
Jin stood there in silence, deciding what to do. After five minutes, he decided to follow his plan of following them inside and making sure that nothing would happen to them.
He entered and saw that tina had killed more than 50 people by herself, he was shocked yet again! One fact which was noticed by jin was that the people tina had killed were all at level ten, the highest level of the base's survivors.
But one thing which Drue his attention was Janam who was standing behind her all the time. He had done nothing outstanding but the question was, why? Why the hell this celestial didn't do anything even after being this strong? What was the thing which was preventing him from unleashing his full powers?
Jin did not have the answer to this question at the moment, but he believed in his abilities to uncover the answer soon before it's too late for everyone.
Tina's Pov.
After killing nearly around fifty people, tina was completely exhausted to the point that it was hard even to lift a finger. Her sword which she had used to kill her enemies was now feeling like a heavy mountain was bearing down on her hands and was trying to make her kneel in surrender. It was enough for tina as she would not be able to hold her sword any more with her stamina being at a very dangerous level. She quickly opened her system profile and allocated her free stat points into stamina all at once! As she used the stat points, she felt a refreshing wave of power hit her body as her heavy sword which weighed like a tun was now a little bit lighter now, enough for her to swing it around for a while longer.
As she was about to resoom her killing spree, she saw that all of the people who were standing in front of her a moment ago were now kneeling on the ground and their weapons were placed at the ground in surrender.
Everyone had surrendered out of fear. Tina had successfully completed her mission and had brought the base back to peaceful again. But something just didn't feel right to her. As she was thinking about what to do next, she quickly jumped and appeared 4-meters behind her position in an instance. It was as someone had tried to kill her with a poisonous dagger, and if not for her senses being sharpened after leveling up ten times, she would have been poisoned and may be even killed!
She turned around and looked at her assailant. There, just Infront of her, stood a man who was around 6-feet tall. He had a lean, thin body he was holding a dagger in his left hand because he had thrown another dagger towards her just a moment ago. But the thing which surprised even her was, the man's glowing terrifying looking red eyes which seems to portray him as a figure of substantial power.
Tina knew from which group the vampire in front of her belonged too, because there was only one group in the first place. The group of Vampire Progenitors, who call themselves as the originals. Originals was a group of people who were the strongest out of all vampires because of the fact that they were the sons/daughters of the people who had built the vampire nation of the past.
Because of the Apocalypse, the vampires had gained a chance to grow even more stronger and ascend their current level of power and become something which even the world can't ignore. But the thing was, the vampires were not that much weak in the first place, even before the Apocalypse came and mana influenced everything on the planet.
The whole vampire raice had extra-ordinary abilities from their birth which included abilities like jins' naturally acquired blood manipulation, or tina's fire manipulation. 20% of the 80% of the vampires had these kinds of abilities. But these vampire progenitors, they had abilities which far surpass the abilities of other vampires and these kinds of rare abilities were even able to pass down from bloodline to bloodline, and making sure to continue to exist for a long period of time.
Looking at the vampire in front of her, tina frowned; she was expecting a fight with them in the future, but this was too soon, she was not properly prepared for this fight at all!
But even while not prepared, she was ready to fight till her death because her brother, Janam was beside her, also in the danger of getting killed. She can't let it happen; she was prepared to do anything in order to protect her brother at all costs!
Tina once again looked at the progenitor and asked— "who the hell are you? And when the hell did people like you using sneaky tactics to kill a girl? What exactly do you want from me?" she asked all these questions at once without taking a breath and started to wait for the answers.
Shuuuuang!
While tina was waiting for the answers she felt that something was flying towards her at ridiculous speeds! Using her newly acquired skill parry, she deflected off some damage but it was to no avail because she was still thrown a few meters backwards as she crashed on a wall and blood started to come out from her head, painting her beautiful golden hair red in Color.
"hmph! You are just a weakling, aren't you? I expected a good fight because I thought that you were strong. I saw you kill fifty people with my own eyes but, I think you have to die without even being able to protect yourself, what a pity, hahahaha" the progenitor laughed and started to walk towards tina with slow steps.
Tina felt her vision blurring and her head spinning due to pain. And to add salt to her already open wounds she heard the footsteps of the progenitor Coming towards slowly. She did not have much time now, she has to do something with in five seconds, because after that the progenitor will reach her and the thing which would await her next would be her and her brother's death.
4: she started to think but does not manage to get an answer to her current predicament because she was not able to think properly because of the pain she was feeling in her head.
3: she tried to gather her thoughts and was successful despite the pain. She tried to think again for something she could do.
2: when there were only two seconds left, she managed to think of an idea and started her preparations quickly because she only had a second left before the progenitor would reach her.
1: she suddenly stood up as she managed to summon a bunch of strength in her body. Fire covered her body from head to toe.
At the last second, she lepped up 7-meters and avoided the dagger stabbed in her direction by the unknown progenitor.
But she quickly started to fall down because of the gravity. After the Apocalypse, the natural gravity of the vampire planet which was at natural levels before, was now double the gravity of the past. She slammed on the ground and was rebounded back in the air by her strong fall. For some reason. Her body had become weaker after she hit her head on the wall and was not able to resist the gravity.
Her head was spinning before, but now, after her fall, she felt that her brain had stopped working because her body was not listening to her Commands and her blurry vision before was completely gone now. The only thing proving that she was alive was her sense of hearing because she could still hear the laugh of the progenitor as he plunged his fangs into her neck and started drinking her blood. She felt her hp decreasing as with each passing second, she felt more closer to death than life.
Chapter end.
