Chapter 492: Vampires Produce Scent?
Chapter 492: Vampires Produce Scent?
—–
“And Ruby just sensed vampire scent from them? Could the Vampires have helped the Dark Shadow Sect somehow?” wondered Miranda.
“I don’t know, I can only tell there is scent around.” Said Ruby while shrugging.
“You’re sure its not your scent?” I asked.
“O-Of course not! I actually don’t produce such scent.” Said Ruby.
“How so?” I asked.
“It is because I am refined!” said Ruby.
“She takes baths regularly too.” Said Rakasha.
“Wait! Are Vampires nasty?” asked Yuki.
“Sort… of.” Said Ruby.
“So they’re nasty motherfuckers…” said Yuki.
“Yuki, language, we are in front of kids…” sighed Benladann.
“Oh! Sorry…” apologized Yuki.
We continued our discussion for a while, mostly assessing each technique we saw them use, they were all utterly bizarre but also powerful.
The ability to make a near-endless army of shadows.
The power to use shadows that died and make even bigger and stronger ones.
The power to tame powerful descendants of a god, these snakes.
The technique of making their mana cores into dark magic mana cores through the harboring of hatred and negative emotions… changing their very element.
And even more, the power of bringing Kumo’s relatives into the equation and doing all that nasty shit they did with the dungeons… they can do all of that and more…
“I guess these bastards are really resourceful, but they seem to have pulled back now.” I said.
“Indeed, according to what I investigated, the Sect’s territory is a few dozen of kilometers from here, they had all retreated into the sect’s walls and what I was able to see showed most of the people training magic and martial arts.” Said Belle.
“Huginn and Muninn just took a trip there recently and I was able to see that they had indeed yet to mobilize to this sect… The impact we caused in the raid against the winter lotus left them shocked. I bet they’re trying to prepare for another try…” I said.
“Hm… Well this is a bit complicated.” Said Benladann.
“Indeed,” said Miranda.
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll go there eventually with an army, and we can simply wipe them out. For now I have a few things to do… And well, to prepare as well.” I said.
“I agree, we should prepare before anything…” said Rakasha.
“But raiding their sect? I wonder what sorts of tricks they might have now.” Said Tisha.
“These bastards even had cursed weapons; they must be very strong… We cannot take them lightly… If possible, we should upgrade our equipment.” Said Pekora.
“A good insight, we’ll do just that then. Rakasha you’ll help too, right?” I asked.
“Sure thing, leave it to me and my team of forgers,” Said Rakasha.
“What else can we do than that?” wondered Benladann.
“Hm, perhaps practice magic? You’ve acquired some new powers, so you should practice spirit magic and moonlight magic.” I said.
“Oh right! My amazing dress! I’ll go with it!” said Benladann.
“Wait, shouldn’t she not go that she’s pregnant?” asked Miranda.
“You’re right! Then you’re wearing the clothes and going with Shiro. I am sure you can use his powers too.” I said.
“Geh… How could you tell?! No! Wait, I don’t want to wear that weird dress!” cried Miranda.
“Haha, there’s no point in crying, you’re doing it…” I said with a sickly smile, Miranda looked at me with eyes wide open in horror, I could see that she was despairing at every second now.
“Yeah! Miranda, you gotta use the set! Don’t worry, its adaptable to the sizes of anyone that wears it…” said Benladann.
Yukihime and Mikoto’s souls nodded.
“Miranda, you can do it! I believe in you.” Said Yukihime.
“Shiro seems to be also contracted with you for some reason, I guess it was true what Drake said, you’re like Benladann’s other half.” Said Mikoto.
“Ugh, shut up!” said Miranda.
The majority was confused at what Miranda was talking to.
“Ah, I forgot to show you guys this…” I said.
I presented everyone with the ghosts of Yukihime and Mikoto, as everyone was left speechless about their origins and how I got them.
“Y-You plundered their graveyard?” sighed Draugann.
“Wait, so that’s where you got the set.” Said Rakasha.
“And the egg too.” I said.
“Wow you’re a thief!” said Pekora.
“I don’t know what to think about it other than good work.” Said Tisha.
“Yeah, I guess nobody was going to use them anyways.” Said Benladann.
“Might as well take it.” said Ruby.
“Eh?! You guys are okay with what he did! It’s supposed to be wrong though…” sighed Yukihime.
“Hahaha! And I am going to plunder this sect’s graveyard too!” I laughed.
“Oooh! Then I am going to help you as much as I can!” said Yukihime.
“Let us steal all the loot from these pesky snakes.” Said Mikoto.
“I guess you girls are willing! Alright, your hatred for this sect is as obvious as it can get.” I laughed.
“You’re going with them?” asked Yuki.
“And Rose,” I said, as Rose emerged at my side while bowing to everyone else.
“I see! Well, make sure to come back with some good loot.” Said Tisha.
“Tisha what’s wrong with you? How is it okay to plunder graves?” asked Pekora.
“It’s not okay but I don’t feel like it’s the big thing, also he’s leaving the corpses alone, he just wants the mana cores.” Said Tisha.
“Eeehh… Well, you can do whatever you want, Drake, I won’t say a thing. However, I have to voice my opinion, and I find it is not right.” Said Pekora.
“I understand your opinion and respect it, but I will continue doing what I want. Thanks for voicing your opinion, Pekora.” I said.
“I don’t know why I had the faint hope it would change your mind, you’re a stubborn man.” Sighed Pekora while waving her head, a little rabbit was atop her head waving her head as well as if disappointed in me. This rabbit was her beast spirit named Aki.
