Chereads / Outcast vampire / Chapter 20 - Ch 20

Chapter 20 - Ch 20

Kevin's Memories: Years ago, I was traveling in the Ruby Land. I had heard that vampires there treated humans like commodities, offering them promises of good things like free food and a comfortable place to live, which eliminated their desire to escape. How horrifying, this place was like a big prison where humans were raised to be tamed and remain slaves to vampires for the rest of their lives. While walking, I saw a few vampire soldiers surrounding a child and trying to take him away by force. Justin was screaming and struggling: "Let me go! I don't want to go back!" "Shut up, ungrateful child!"

Kevin's Memories (Continued): Justin thought: "No, I don't want to go back. I want to be free!" 

Kevin attacked the soldiers with his sword, killing them all.

Justin, trembling with fear, looked up at Kevin and said, "W-Who are you?!"

Kevin took Justin's hand and said, "Come with me, I'll take care of you." He smiled.

Justin's Memories: I was alone, and for a child like me, surviving in such a world was really tough. When I saw that man, I felt like he was taking me to a new world, so I went with him.

Kevin: "We need to get out of here quickly. If we stay in this land, the soldiers will find and capture us."

Justin, curiously looking at Kevin, said, "Where are we going?"

Kevin smiled at Justin and said, "To the Ideal Land, where humans and vampires are equal."

Justin, surprised, said: "Does such a place really exist?"

Kevin took a deep breath and said: "I don't know yet, but I want to go there and see it for myself." He smiled.

Traveling with Kevin to the Ideal Land was an adventure filled with learning and excitement. Kevin, skilled in swordsmanship, taught me how to wield a sword as we faced wild creatures along the way.

Kevin: "You're very talented. I'm sure one day you'll become an even better swordsman than me."

Justin: "Really? I didn't think I was that good." He smiled.

Kevin: "If I remember correctly, if we keep following this path, we'll reach the Ideal Land by tomorrow morning."

Justin, excited: "I'm so thrilled, I can't wait to see it!"

Just as Kevin predicted, we arrived at the Ideal Land the next day. It was a beautiful, vibrant city with happy and prosperous people.

Justin, happily: "So this is why they call it Ideal!"

Kevin: "Let's go find a house." He smiled.

Living with Kevin in a humble home was like having a father figure. He worked hard to ensure I had a good life.

Justin: "What's this outfit?"

Kevin: "From now on, I'm a knight, helping the people of this land." He smiled.

Justin, excited: "Really?! Can I become a knight too?!"

Kevin patted Justin's head and said: "Of course, when you grow up, you can." He smiled.

After that, Kevin often went on journeys, and I rarely saw him. I looked up to Kevin and decided to live my life like him.

Kyson: "I see, so that's why you're so skilled with the sword." He smiled.

Justin: "Yeah, if it wasn't for Kevin, I'd never have this good life. I didn't think he'd come back to save me again." He smiled.

Kyson stood up and faced Justin.

Justin looked at Kyson and said: "Is something wrong?"

Kyson: "I'll fight that wicked woman and take revenge for you and all the other people she treats like slaves." His eyes were completely serious.

Justin laughed and said: "You really want to do this for me?"

Kyson: "Not just for you. True, I owe you, but I'm not doing this because of that."

Justin: "Then why..."

Kyson: "Because vampires and humans are equal. It's not right to treat people like this."

"Equality, equality, equality. That's why I hate this damned country," the vampire said with hatred.

Justin stood up and said: "Who are you?"

It was a vampire with a rose emblem on his sleeve.

Kyson, shocked, said: "Did Rosita send you here?"

The vampire placed his hand on his sword and said: "I'm here to kill you two!" He suddenly drew his sword and attacked Justin. 

Justin couldn't react in time. Kyson quickly stepped in front of Justin, catching the vampire's sword with his hands. 

The vampire, with disdain, said: "I hate pathetic creatures like you!" He pulled back to lunge at Kyson again.

Kyson: "Give me your sword!" He grabbed Justin's sword to fight the vampire.

Justin: "Wait, you're injured!"

Kyson, with blood dripping from his hands, was fighting the vampire. The townspeople gathered to watch the fight.

"I've never seen two vampires fight before!"

"I'm curious to see how this ends!"

Kyson and the vampire had a fast and nearly equal battle. The vampire leaped at Kyson, creating a massive explosion and shockwave. Kyson used bats to hold off the vampire and defend himself.

Kyson thought: "Damn, his power is immense!"

Vampire: "Why are you standing still? Are you tired already?" He sneered.

Kyson thought: "My body feels numb; I can't stand on my legs anymore..." He fell to his knees. 

Justin: "This isn't good, he's lost his strength!"

Kyson thought: "I can't move anymore. I guess this is the end for me." He smirked.

The townspeople were watching Kyson with surprise and concern.

Vampire: "How pathetic, you're not even worthy of being my opponent." He sneered.

"Get up, you can't give up here!"

"Show him that you're stronger!"

Kyson thought: "Why are people cheering for me?"

"We're all on your side, Kyson!"

The crowd started chanting Kyson's name.

Kyson stood up and shouted: "It's not over yet!"

Vampire, surprised: "That's impossible! You had lost your strength just now!"

Kyson, smiling: "Even if my body is torn to pieces and all my bones are broken, I'll keep going!"
