It was warm and gave off the scent of life. Complete opposite of his natural ability. Maybe because of that he felt complete disgust over his actions.
It tasted like iron and there was a bit of sweetness to it. Phantom sucked the blood from the woman. He didn't let go of her as his mind was being controlled by instinct.
After a few minutes, Phantom removed his face from the woman's neck. His lips turned red due to the blood from the woman. The fangs on his teeth also disappeared as the corruption inside him settled down.
The feeling of absorbing corruption was too addicting.He felt like his entire being just transformed into a higher existence. His senses got much sharper and he could taste the air. He knew the air motion.
Another upgrade. Now it's time to kill her. Phantom thought as he dozed off in his pleasure.
He looked down at the woman. The woman was beautiful. Her face was soft and tainted with redness. She panted up and down exposing her neck and a cleavage of her breasts.
She opened her eyes and smiled. " Now, I have become a vampire."
" What?" Phantom was taken back by her remark.
Vampire? What is she? A bookworm?
She grabbed his face and gave a tight kiss to his lips. After that she freed herself and stared at Phantom.
" You are turning me into Vampire right? After tonight , we will face your family and combat with werewolves. We will enjoy tricking humans and looking down at them. On the bloody night, we will lay in blood and do the mating process."
Phantom grabbed his head. He waved his head. " Wait a minute. What are you talking about?"
The woman stopped. Her eyes widened as if she noticed something on him.
Phantom looked down and checked himself.
Ahh… My mask.
He grabbed the mask and placed it back on his face. Limited AI began working normally.
" Keir.You are Keir right? I knew it. I knew it." She repeated in excitement. She jumped up and down. She grabbed his hands and brought them closer to her face.
" I knew that you were hiding something. There was an odd feeling about you. You seem like you are far above us." She spoke.
Really? Is my regular human acting really that bad?I carefully read the pro tips from the Villainy magazine.
Phantom wondered. He was surprised that the woman didn't scream. Instead, she was talking to him like a crazy madman. Was she nor scared of him?
Thinking that hurt,Phantom's pride as a villain. But he quickly recovered after listening to the woman's words. The woman is crazy.
As she was talking, the spark on her eyes slowly died. She stuttered a few times before falling flat on Phantom's body. Phantom was not tall by any means, even with superhuman strength, his whole physique remained the same.
Phantom grabbed hold of the woman before she fell completely asleep. He planned to kill her quickly.
He dropped her to the ground and picked up the flashlight. He crushed the flashlight with his grip strength.
She must fall unconscious because of the sudden decrease in blood. Phantom theorized.
Phantom stared at her and tried to remember her face. She was a bit familiar to him.
Didn't I see her from Fred's group? What is her name? Is it Dion?Elion? Something Enn…
Phantom was not good at sticking names to the faces. Unless the person is very important to him, he just labeled people using their unique appearance.
Phantom crouched down and strangled her neck like last time. But this time, he planned to use more force.
Wait?
Phantom stopped and frowned. He began analyzing all the things happening that night.
Megalord foundation. Strangely, they came up to the city. Doctor Oiti, the famous non superhuman scientist.
Thorny's heist in the news. Large amount of credits just to see his name. Even though he is a low rank villain.
And lastly, Formless's words. Her warning and she seem to be in a hurry. Something is missing. Something is going on.
I need to attend the Hiewbard Villain meetup this week. I need something to use in the current situation.
Phantom got up. He halted the idea of killing her for this night. There were too many things going wrong. And he did not have that many cards to play.
There are two paths for my decision.
One is that she told my identity to the police. That works quite nice since I am getting tired of putting on a facade. And it is not like I will be pursuing a science historian at some college.
Phantom nodded. Indeed I don't live life as a normal person.
Phantom's plan was to leave the city after graduating from the university and establish a proper villain business in another city. And his goal was to make a name in the galaxy.
If she doesn't report my name to the police, I can use her. I can take her to the meeting and introduce others as my new sidekick.
The attention will fall onto her. Since when does Phantom work with others?
Phantom chuckled inwardly.
That is good enough preparation for me.
Phantom left the cemetery. He didn't care about the woman. If she was lucky enough to get help in the middle of the night then she was blessed by her God. If she must die, then there was nothing he could do but sighed in disappointment.
Phantom arrived at his base. He entered using the same method.
Phantom took the chair and sat down. He removed his mask and put it on the table in front of him. He then took out his gloves, pants and ripped his shirt using a special knife.
" Ahhh… My credits." Keir grumbled. He felt the taste of sorrow from ripping his suit.
But he had no choice since taking off the tight suit would put a strain on his wounds. Luckily, to ease his pain, the suit was already in a bad shape.
Keir put all the torn up suits to the side and checked his wounds using the mirror. Blood had stopped but there were many small wounds on his chest.
Looking at his wounds, Keir felt a horrible and disgusting nausea. Hundreds of small holes opened on the chest. Each of the wounds seemed like he was attacked by thousands of needles.
Keir opened the drawer from the table and took out a black cube . He stared at the cube and swallowed it entirely.
He coughed blood and lay on the chair.
This is the worst. Why don't they create an easy device? They just want to make people like us suffer.
Keir felt a cube traveling down his lungs. It broke down the pieces of bones using laser technology. He didn't know how the laser didn't pierce his body but he was not excited to learn.
The process took about fifteen minutes. Keir noticed the strange nausea and threw up at the bucket beside him.
He shook his head and gave a soft chuckle. He took out a cream and put it on the wounds. It started burning. The effect was immediate.
Keir warped the wounds using a bandage. The caring took him about an hour. Looking at the clock, the time was 10 pm. It was still quite early for him.
Keir stood up from the chair and grabbed his hoodie. He complained while wearing the hoodie. It brushed against the bandage causing him to twitch like a puppet.
Keir left the base and rode Syith. His next destination was to the dorm. He needed to know information for the next meeting. It was most likely going to be Wednesday since villains usually worked on the weekend.
As for Monday and Tuesday, it was usually excluded because it was the healing time.
Keir entered his room using the window. His room was on the third floor. Usually, students shared a room with other two students but because of Keir's brilliance and his money, University put him in a somewhat small room alone.
He was quite happy with the room since privacy was the most important to the Villain. Keir opened the lantern light and opened his laptop.
He typed in his villain's personal passwords and entered into the net. He searched through the net about Doctor Oiti. He reviewed all the things the public knew about him.
Famous inventor. He invented a lot of super related technology. But he hasn't appeared in the media during the past three years. What is he doing?
Keir tapped the table causing the sound to echo with a rhythm.
Keir took out a notebook from his bag and wrote down the necessary information he needed. After that, he closed the net and sent a message to the meeting organizer.
He then closed the laptop and lay down on his bed.
He remained silent throughout the whole night. He didn't sleep as his senses were being heightened by Mngwa's corruption. He could hear, taste ,feel everything. It took a lot of willpower to not lose his mind. Maybe he already lost himself a long time ago.
Pain on chest spreaded even wider and more detailed because of his senses. When the sun came up, Keir fell asleep.
