Chapter 5

nHeavy rain poured down on the cities of Britain as cloudy skies loomed over them. The storm was getting worst by the hour.
nThe roads, and streets were filled with puddles of water and mud.
n*Step* *Step*
nThrough these puddles marched groups of people wearing night blue uniforms with blue caps on their heads.
nTheir ears were pointed and their eyes glowed a crimson red in the dark as they walked. They all had swords and other kinds of weapons on their frames as they marched.
nOn their hands were leashes attached to other people. These ones wore torn clothes and acted much more like animals. They were ghouls.
n“Five minutes until the signal but I can’t wait any longer… The scent of all those people… The sound of their heart beating… It’s so alluring~.” Muttered a short antique pink haired vampire with silver earrings.
nHe stood just outside a school gymnasium which was right ahead of the school entrance. There was a concentrated number of people here so it was his first target.
nHe was just one of the many vampires raiding the city. These raids weren’t just happening in this one spot, they were happening all throughout the city.
nThey had all been given a single command.
n“Spread chaos upon the signal… Feast till your hearts content…”
n*BANG!*
nHe kicked open the gym door, sending it flying across the inside of the Gym.
nAs he walked inside, he commanded the countless ghouls behind him and other Vampires to block out the exit.
nWith that being said, he made his entrance and upon doing so, he was greeted with complete and utter silence along with the stares of all the students, teachers and even the principal.
nHe relished these stares, taking in a deep breath before grinning with his fangs.
n“Hm~ Looks like schools are really the way to go~”
nWith a flick of his wrist, the vampire’s sword soared through the air, impaling the principal right through the middle of his head.
nAfter being knocked away and his sword stuck inside his head, he came to a halt a few meters away, right between the legs of a student.
nThe student beside her let out a blood-curdling scream and then came the panic.
nOne by one, students began to fall to fall and trip over one another as they rushed to the exit.
nSeeing the students run and attempt to escape while knowing that it was futile gave him a sense of pride and joy unlike any other…
n‘Ah… Nothing beats a good old-fashioned hunt…’ He thought to himself.
n*Whistle~!*
nThe vampire whistled loudly, grabbing the attention of some of the students again.
n“Kill them all… Ah- But leave the girls alive, we need food~”
nThe instant he said that, ghouls came crashing into the room from the exit where everyone was gathered.
n“AAAAAH!!!”
n“HELPP!!!!”
n“SOMEONE HE-”
nThey rip and tore everything that stood in their paths, not sparing any human in sight. Their bottomless hunger was progressively leading to the formation of a blood bath.
nThe students who were fortunate enough to have chosen the other exit on the opposite side were given more time, but their fates were still set in stone as being in a group would have gotten them targeted outside.
nThe pink haired vampire took in a deep breath with a wide grin on his face.
n“Ah~ Thank god there’s going to be a war… If it wasn’t for this, I’d never have been able to-”
nThe Vampire’s sentence was cut off by him suddenly tilting his head to the side.
n“Hm?” He let out in a confused tone.
nJust ahead of him was but a single, short, black haired young man. He was standing in front of the principle’s corpse and holding onto the handle of his Vampire’s Blade.
nVampire’s Blade
nA weapon manufactured by Vampire’s, it allows the User to convert their own internal blood into power.
nXavier swung the sword repeatedly in order to get a feel for it.
nYou have equipped: Vampire’s Blade
nThe sword desires blood in exchange for power.
nWill you let the sword consume your blood?
nWithout answering the question, Xavier began walking towards the Vampire.
nNew Quest has been added.
nQuest: Vampire Slayer.
nSlay the vampire in your path.
nVampire’s slain: 0

nDaily Quest still available, would you like to view it?
n‘Hm????’
nThe Vampire was even more visibly confused than before, but the closer Xavier got, the wider his grin became.
n‘He took my sword and he’s approaching me with it? Did he go crazy after witnessing all the deaths?’
n‘His hair is covering his eyes… I can’t tell what sort of expression he’s making… But this sure looks exciting.’
nThe Vampire watched as Xavier came to a stop right before him. Xavier gripped down tightly onto the Sword, and didn’t seem to make any moves at first.
nThe Vampire who towered over him, looked down at him excitedly whilst waiting for him to make a move.
nVampires were countless times faster than regular humans, he was slowly counting the number of times he could have Killed Xavier in his head. Doing so was fun for him.
n“I must say, I’m impressed. Out of all your friends, you were the only one who came-”
n*Swoosh*
nThe Vampire was interrupted as the edge of a blade was suddenly thrusted at his chin from below.
nHe leaned back, easily avoiding it before countering with a thrust of his own at Xavier’s head.
nThe gap in speed was laughable, The Vampire was so fast his hand seemed to blur out.
nYet despite that-
n*Fwoosh*
nXavier ducked, avoiding the thrust aimed at his head from the sides whilst also stepping in.
n*Slash*
nThe Vampire’s left arm was severed off it’s shoulder in that very same instant, as Xavier slashed at it with a vertical swing.
n“…?”
n*WHAM!*
nWhilst still confused, The Vampire kicked at Xavier in the stomach, sending him sliding down the hall.
nThe Vampire was even more surprised than earlier to find that Xavier’s guard was up. He had blocked the kick.
nXavier’s arms were trembling from the sheer intensity of the kick, but he didn’t let go of his sword.
n‘I kicked at him with the intention to break his ribs but he blocked…? He reacted from that close of a range?’
n‘And even more than that… He cut off my arm…?’ The Vampire wondered as he looked down in search of it to reattach it.
nTo his surprise his arm which had been chopped off, was no longer resting over the pool of blood beneath him. It was gone.
nHis eyes widened after he looked over in Xavier’s direction.
nHis severed arm was right beneath Xavier’s feet. He had dragged it along with him after the kick.
n‘Don’t tell me… He intentionally took the kick to take my arm away from me?’
n“I… Underestimated you because you were human… Based on what I can see, you’re no regular hu-”
nA shadow remained loomed over Xavier’s face as he began stepping on the Vampire’s severed arm to provoke him. He didn’t want to hear his bull** any longer.
nA vein bulged out of the side of the Vampire’s neck in that instant.
n“Haha… Hahahahaha! You think taking one arm away from me is going to do anything!?”
nThe Vampire burst into laughter for the next few seconds before glaring at Xavier.
n*Fawoosh!*
n“I’ll kill you.” The Vampire declared with cold eyes.
nThe Vampire suddenly appeared before him, thrusting his one arm at his head.
nXavier dodged to the right, only to end up dodging to the left as another thrust came right after.
nA barrage of thrusts aimed at not only his head but also his arms and heart was directed at Xavier by the Vampire in rage.
nYet Xavier was effortlessly dodging all of them without moving a step. His eyes were going all over the place, left and right even though the Vampire was moving so fast his arm seemed to blur.
n*SWOOSH!*
nThe Vampire kicked at Xavier from the sides, sending him sliding to the right with his feet still planted onto the arm, before appearing above him with an Axe kick heading down at his head.
nAttempting to block that kick would have definitely broken every single bone in his arm, so Xavier did the unthinkable.
nXavier let go of the arm, temporarily rotating his entire body with the side step.
nThe Vampire saw this as an opening and stepped in, thrusting his single arm at Xavier’s heart. The moment Xavier took another step to dodge, the Vampire grinned.
nIt was a fake – He only wanted to get Xavier further away from his arm in order to grab it and that’s exactly what he did.
n‘I got It-‘
n*Slash!*
nThe Vampire’s thought was interrupted as his remaining hand which had reached out for his arm was cut off.
n“!!!”
n‘He saw through that too!? How!!?’
nXavier’s retreat step was also a fake, he knew the Vampire would go for his arm and already had a sword swing in motion for it.
nWhilst keeping the momentum going, Xavier pressed down on the slippery, bloodied floor, quickly changing his vertical swing into a horizontal one aimed right at the Vampire’s neck.
nThe Vampire who was almost frozen in surprise watched as the sword made it’s way towards his neck.
nDeath. It was then and there that he saw the reflection of his own death in the blade.
nDisbelief, confusion, fear. All sorts of emotions built up from within the Vampire as the sword was just about pricking his neck. He was going to die.
nOr at least that’s what he thought-
n*CLANG!*
nXavier’s swing stopped half way, as two other Vampire’s wearing the dark blue uniform with the caps over their head, appeared right before him. One had Pearl beige while the other had Mahogany brown coloured hair
nOne Vampire had his hand on the blade stopping his swing, while the other had his own sword out, with the blade parried to Xavier’s swing.
nTheir eyes both held a crimson light as they glared at Xavier.
n“Oi… What the hell do you think you’re doing?” The pink haired Vampire muttered.
n“Rest assured, we’ll assist you.”
