A giant skeletal figure appeared adopting a black cloak and carrying a scythe. Although his eyes were missing, sometimes the sockets glowed red. The colossal skeleton with its hollow eye sockets glowing red staring at Zero made his blood run cold and his instincts began screaming for him to run. He immediately tried to teleport away again but could not as he noticed that a mana nullification field covered the room.

''I am going to die. What the hell!? Who lets a last boss come to the beginning of a game! The most annoying part is the immortality skill. Even if I somehow manage to beat him he''ll resurrect and kill me.'' screamed Zero in his mind.
"A dhampir? What are you doing here?" asked Death
"Hello my name is Zero a dhampir who got here accidentally." said Zero who looked calm on the surface but was trying to think of any possible way to escape.
"Well Zero mind telling me what you are doing in my master''s castle?" asked Death
"I was with my cousin and her friend Soma when we were transported here." said Zero
"Ah the young man who is my master''s reincarnation." said Death
"Well may I ask who you are?" asked Zero politely
"Pardon me my name is Death" said Death
"Well then Death what will you do with me?" asked the concerned Zero
"Nothing." said Death
"Wait what?" asked the surprised Zero

"I said I plan to do nothing" repeated Death
"Why!? I mean I''m not complaining. But Why?" asked Zero
"You hold power over souls similar to that of my master. I find you intriguing so I will refrain from killing you unless you plan to get in my way." stated Death
"I have no such plans currently." responded Zero quickly
"Then all is well." laughed Death
"I have a question to ask which I hope you won''t take any offense to." said Zero
"You may ask it." said Death
"Would you be willing to serve me?" asked Zero
"Haha I do no find your question offensive young one" laughed Death
"If you were to become the host of the chaos entity I serve then yes I would serve thee" stated Death
"I''ll keep you to that promise." Said Zero
"Very well young one I bid thee farewell," said Death with a slight chuckle as he entered the rift in space-time that he arrived in
With the rift closed Zero collapsed on the floor. He had tried his best to seem brave and unworried but he truly felt like he might have died in that one moment. ''I don''t understand why something as powerful as that would serve someone like Dracula when they''re equal in power.'' thought Zero as he planned on how to get Death to serve him instead.
Souls began to gather in the room and Zero was aware that these souls would become the new witches and succubi. Zero quickly activated his invisibility skill and walked over to the unconscious nemeses to wake them up. Waking up they bowed and looked at Zero as if begging for forgiveness for fainting and allowing him to face danger. Zero told them that he forgave them and that soon some enemies would arrive soon so they would need to kill them all.
As soon as the witches and succubi started to form the nemeses launched at them and began to decapitate them as their master did previously. After 10 of their comrades dies in front of them the enemies realized that the enemy was invisible. The witched began to cast fire spells and the succubi began forming some darkness spells also. Zero however remembered that he also had the mana nullification skill. He lamented on the fact that had he used this skill earlier he would have had an easier time kill the previous versions. Zero then activated the skill and all the spell formation that they were beginning to form broke apart and they lost their ability to use any magic.
The nemesis had an easy time wiping out all of them. Without their magic, the witches and succubi had low strength and no weapon skills so to speak. The blue women were much stronger and faster than them so it didn''t take long before the room was filled with corpses yet again. This time Zero didn''t take any of the corpses because he had all that he needed and any more would just be taking up space. He did however take all the soul around. He ordered the girls to kill anyone that appeared in the room and went to the corner to relax as he farmed the witch and succubus souls. After 5 hours he had reached his goal of soul and even consumed one soul each for abilities.
