“Oi, wake up. Can you hear me?” Anon said as he tapped Lilith on her face with his hand.

“Lilith, wake up.”

“Hmm…? Where am I?” She asked, opening her eyes slightly.

“Not in hell,” Anon said.

“Y-You!!!!” She said, her eyes widening after seeing Anon’s face.

“Yep, you don’t seem too happy after seeing me, huh?” Anon asked.

“Why would you do that? Why would you suddenly grab me and jump out of the window?” She asked as she stood up.

“That’s why,” Anon said, pointing towards the inn.

When Lilith looked at the inn, she saw it burning down to the ground.

“No, Maverick…” She shouted as she started running towards the inn.

“He is right here,” Anon said, grabbing her hand and pointing towards unconscious Maverick.

“Oh, thank demons. You are alright,” she said as she touched Maverick.

“Now, show it to me,” Anon said.

“Oh, sure. Why not? You deserve that much for saving my brother,” Lilith said as she stood up and started removing her clothes.

“Not that, you idiot. Show me the photo,” Anon shouted.

“Why are you being so mean? I don’t have it here. It was in my cupboard,” Lilith spoke.

“Excuse me?” Anon said.

“I said it was in my cupboard,” Lilith repeated.

“So, you are saying that the picture was inside the inn that just blew up?” Anon asked.

“Yes.”

“God damn it,” Anon said as he pounded his left foot on the ground in anger.

“I was about to take it out, but you suddenly grabbed me and left the place. Now it’s blown up; I don’t think anything would’ve remained inside,” Lilith spoke.

Anon sat down on the ground and started thinking about it.

‘Wait… Why didn’t I think of this earlier?’ Anon thought as an idea triggered inside his brain.

“Come here. Drink this,” Anon said as he cut his hand and gave Lilith his blood to drink.

“Eww… Why would I drink your blood? I am not a vampire. Instead, I can drink your cum-” Before she could say anything else, Anon grabbed her small mouth and dropped some drops of his blood into it.

“Mnnhhhhhh-” she moaned as she tried to free herself, but Anon’s grip was tight.

“There you go, now gulp it down,” Anon said as he released her mouth.

“Cough-cough, you- you can’t do this to me,” Lilith spoke as she coughed some of Anon’s blood out.

“I will do it, and I can do it. Now come here.”

Anon grabbed her head and used the skill.

Suddenly, her memories started surging into Anon’s mind.

Anon felt some pressure this time too, but it wasn’t that big.

After taking all of her memories, Anon started searching for the particular memory he was looking for.

’10 years… I have to look for memories 10 years back.’

As he searched through her memories, Anon found the face of the one he was finding. Blonde hair, glasses, and an average body build.

‘So, you are the mother**er who is trying to make my life even tougher than it already is, huh?’ Anon thought as he looked at the face of the guy.

He then found the memories related to that photo.

The photo belonged to a child; he looked around six years old, his hair black, and his face looked somewhat pale.

‘Who is this kid? Is he some relative of him? Or someone he loves?’ Anon wondered as he observed the painting with full focus.

He kind of looked similar to the blonde guy, but seeing a painting is very different from seeing a real person.

Anon decided to play the memory.

Lilith and the guy were sitting in the same room; the guy was covered in blood from his head to his toe. He gave a picture to Lilith.

‘Who is he?’ Lilith asked as she held the picture in her hands.

‘He is my precious. I did it for him, but it was no use. This world is in the grasp of death, and I will free it,’ the guy spoke as he left the room.

Anon came out of his thoughts and looked at Lilith.

Lilith was looking here and there, wondering what was happening to her.

Anon used the skill to give her memories back.

Her memories surged back into her brain, and she went unconscious.

“What’s the deal with her? Why is she fainting with every little touch?” Anon asked himself as he looked at Lilith.

He then pulled out a cigar from his inventory and lit it with a small fireball that appeared on his middle finger.

“A maxed-out psychopath. He thinks he can make people immortal by turning them into zombies, but he also said that he wants to rule the world of the living. What exactly does he want?” Anon wondered as he took a puff from the cigar and looked at the burning inn in front of him.

People were trying to extinguish the fire by throwing water on it.

“It will be interesting. Puff Two psychopathic bastards fighting each other. Hahaha…” Anon laughed as he finished the cigar and lifted Lilith up.

Whistleeeeee

As soon as he whistled, a black raven appeared in the sky and landed near Anon.

“Let’s go.” Anon said as he jumped on the raven’s back.

Flap-Flap 𝒷𝓭ℴ𝓋𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

A flapping sound was heard from the sky.

Anon looked above and noticed a giant bat flying above him.

“Come down, Reik.” Mike shouted.

Cheeee

The bat made a loud noise and landed near Mike.

Mike picked up Maverick and jumped on the back of the bat.

“Is that your new ride?” Anon asked Mike.

“No, master. He is Reik, been in my family for many years. My older brother had him, but seeing that he is here means my brother is already dead,” Mike said with a calm expression.

“Wow, that’s one great attitude to take a family member’s death. I don’t think you and your brother had a very good relationship, huh?” Anon asked.

“Na, he killed my first wife, then I killed his son. We got even, and now he is dead, No family love ** in vampires.” Mike explained.

“Sweet. Let’s go.” Anon said without wanting to listen to more details.
