-it’s my reason to exist!!-


    “HAHAHAHA! TRY TO CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!”


    “GRAAAAHHHHHHHH!”


    pursuing him and pertify the bats he used, she used all of her speed


    thankfully the bats is not immune to petrification, but their number is numerous so she cant petrify them all


    even if she catch up to him, he suddenly become a mist and attacking with bats on her blind spot


    although her wound can be regenerated, the blood lost is not returning


    trying to finish this before she collapsed from blood loss, aimi pursue him with all of her might


    “HAHAHAHA, WHAT''S THE MATTER? YOU LOOKED PALE, FEELING GIVING UP YET LITTLE GIRL?”


    bernard keep provoking her, causing her to gritted her teeth and pursuing him


    but still, who is this girl? i lived for 300 years and never saw anybody as strong as her. hmm..


    the truth is, things didn''t looked good for bernard too


    actually blood bat isn''t even one of his skills


    he only store some bats with storage magic and letting them out as fits


    in order to gathering and researching the blood bat, he spend most of his free time gathering the bats and increasing their efficiency


    by sacrificing sleep and eating, he even teached those bats every kind of command that he feels of them like his children


    and now, most of them is died in one night


    i’m sorry,michael,urun,gabi,gorun,rudra.. i will make sure to made a grave for you guys later


    his condition is not good either


    because of her eyes, he had been feeling groggy since before. his body not moving well too


    is this, evil eye? but to affect me this much, must be a very high level eye skill


    the truth is bernard had evil eye too. a skill unique to vampire, evil eye of sleepiness and bewitching eye


    however, the girl didnt shown a hint of being affected


    but he with status effect immunity feeling the effect, and her not must be her eyes level is higher


    fu.. it''s been interesting little girl. i’m curious about finding out your identity but it''s time to finish this


    thinking that his other skill gonna shown its effect anytime, he start to grinning


    then..


    “uogh!?”


    his leg is blown


    the girl is getting faster


    getting used with bernard feint and trickery she start to catch up to himYou might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    all of the blood bats is already petrified since quite a while now


    cannot even keep up his mist transformation, bernard legs is blown away


    and aimi


    jumping in top of him, she hold his neck


    “guun fuuu fuuh*


    it''s over


    bernard already running out of energy


    thinking it''s her victory, aimi grinned a little why saying


    “i..win”


    her true form is completely shown


    a claw that can gouge the earth, a tail like a dragon and shiny beautiful scale


    like this, anyone would seen that she wasn''t human


    perhaps, some who recognize that form will relate her as certain kin of that legend


    “fu.. HAHAHAHA, ARE YOU SURE? IT''S TOO SOON TO REJOICE LITTLE GIRL”


    the girl ignores him


    it''s already clear who is the winner


    only press him, and the neck is broken


    but..


    whats with his face?


    “bluff?”


    “you will see if it''s a bluff or not, girlie. i’ll show you magic trick in 5..4..3..2..1”


    ignoring him she tried to smash his head with two of her hand


    using her strength, he would definitely disappear without a trace


    at that moment


    “zero! time up”


    like closing performance, aimi lose her strength


    “...!?”


    cannot move even a finger, she lied on top of bernard


    “HAHAHAHA, are you surprised little girl? you''re surprised right? you are aren''t you?”


    “gnn..! grr…!”


    trying to move, she struggle


    but it''s no use


    “HAHAHA LET ME EXPLAIN THEN”


    bernard easily stand up


    “..?”


    his arm and legs is growing back


    and his complexion looks healthy, same as before like nothing happened


    “HAHAHA! THE SPECIALITY OF VAMPIRE IS NOT JUST BLOOD AND MIST, WE ARE MASTER OF SHADOW TOO!”


    “AND SINCE YOU PURSUE ME SO INTENTLY, YOU DIDN''T REALIZE YOUR SHADOW IS STARTING TO GONE THINNER?


    “ BY STEALING YOUR SHADOW, I CAN ABSORB YOUR VITALITY AND MAKING IT MINE”


    however the weakness is it took too much time making it inefficient


    before bernard never had to do battle where he needs to use it


    the reason being, most of his enemy is defeated before he have time for the skill to active


    other reason, if the enemy realized it before their vitality is taken the skill is canceled automatically


    “aa. guh….”


    feeling like a victor, bernard declares


    “now then”


    “i spend too much stamina and effort to taking you down, it''s natural for me to receive my rewards right?”


    “what, don''t worry. i''m not interested with little girl like you. my love is the only one i planned to devoted after all”


    “you just need to close your eyes, and become EMPTY MUMMIES! AHAHAHA”


    “”..!”


    grabbing her in the chin, bernard lift aimi


    and then, he sink his fang to her neck


    *gashun*


    “....!”


    *sruup srupp*


    “guunu.. uu”


    “hmm? hahaha , so that’s it! that explained your appearance. this form, it''s not “ you” at all.”


    vampire can retract information from blood of their victim


    of course, the information received is varying depend on how much of their blood taken. and mostly how much the vampire wants to know after all


    since mostly the victim died if vampire retract all of the information it''s only useable once to each victim


    “gg.. haa..”


    aimi feels weaker


    her strength is gradually disappearing


    “to think, such miracle can happen not only once, but twice. ahaha what a unique existence. i want to see your original someday but i guess it''s impossible”


    “”ggrr”


    “ahh but you''re such a sad existence, both you and the other one. you guys didn''t realize..”


    “your existence is a fake one since the start after all”


    “...”


    “ara? you''re already starting to lose consciousness? sorry, i’ll make it quick. it''s better if you died now without realizing anything after all”


    she doesn''t understand it


    she doesn’t listening at all


    it''s all nonsense


    it’s not worth listening to


    but..


    but..


    just one thing


    there''s just one thing that she cannot forgive


    theres one thing that she cannot allow


    and that is..


    “..can’t”


    “hmm?”


    “won..t die”


    “oh?”


    “already.. promised.. not.. gonna happened.. again”


    “never.. again.. can’t.. allow it. have to.. fulfill”


    “HAHAHA! nice, thats nice. a promise is meant to be fulfilled after all, but what can you do?”


    “fuck it”


    “hmm?”


    gathering her remaining strength in her hand,


    she start to use massive magic construction


    “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!”


    “...!”


    feeling a danger, bernard letting her go


    and then


    a massive storm happened
