Chapter 176 - 176: An Angel Of Vengeance.
Chapter 176 – 176: An Angel Of Vengeance.
"We are stuck!" One of the men yelled.
BOOOM! BOOOOOOOM!
One of the men punched the ice wall, but nothing happened, and the wall didn't even shake.
"This wall of ice is very resistant…" One of the subordinates spoke in disbelief.
"What is this power!?"
"Somehow, this is familiar…" Someone looked thoughtful and felt as though he had already seen this power somewhere.
"What are we going to do?" One of the men asked the leader.
"That's obvious!" The man who appeared to be the leader spoke, as he looked at Victor:
"We'll kill him." The man's eyes were glowing gold.
Black hairs began to grow over the man's body, his expression began to get more animalistic, and just like Edward, the air around him grew wilder.
"W-Wha-" The woman couldn't express what she was seeing, she just got more terrified and tried to run away, but her body wouldn't move.
"Oh?" Victor's smile grew.
"Tsk, we don't have a choice." The man who threw the bag to the leader spoke. He knew fighting now was a bad idea, but they had no choices; they had nowhere to run.
The man's appearance began to change in the same way as the leader, but the only difference was that his body hair was brown.
'This is getting dangerous…' The priest hid behind a pillar and watched the entire scene in silence.
"Grr, let's kill him!" He growled
"Remember, prioritize the girl." The man who was the leader spoke.
"Yes!" The man's subordinates began to transform like the leader, and one of them captured the girl.
"N-Noooo, let go of me!"
"…" Victor's eyes twitched when he heard the woman's scream. Then, he looked at the woman for the first time, assessed her from top to bottom, and soon lost interest in her since she had nothing special about her.
"Where are you looking?" A werewolf appeared in front of Victor and attacked his face. He wanted to smash this man's head!
But… things didn't go as he planned.
Victor lifted his finger and intercepted the man's attack.
"Wha-."
"Weak," Victor spoke in a disappointed tone.
Rumble, Rumble.
Lightning bolts seemed to crackle through Victor's body for a few seconds.
Victor lifted his finger up a little, and something astounding occurred:
BOOOOOOM!
At a speed none of the men could react to, Victor attacked the man in front of him more than 20 times.
The man's body flew towards the church exit.
One of the man's allies approached his friend and spoke in a terrified voice:
"… He's dead…" The man's body was all twisted in impossible ways, while his chest had a hole where his heart used to be, and the same could be said for his head, as brain matter leaked out.
All this happened in less than a blink of an eye!
Who was this monster!?
"W-Wha-…" The leader seemed not to believe what he had just witnessed and heard from his subordinate.
"…" All the wolves looked at Victor with dark eyes, as they were paralyzed with fear.
"… That's it?" Victor's face distorted in annoyance, "Just one demonstration, and you chicken out?"
"…" The group was silent and didn't answer anything, and just took a step back, retreating.
'Damn, if we only had an Alpha we could easily defeat him…' The leader thought as he bit his lip in frustration.
"I see… Just like those killers, you're just worms." Victor's eyes began to glow blood red.
"Let go of the girl, Dog," Victor ordered as he looked at the man who was holding the nun.
"Yes, master." The man let go of the girl, and the woman quickly ran towards Victor and hid behind the ice throne. Why did she do that? She didn't know. She just felt it would be safer to be with her 'angel'.
"!!?" The wolves looked at their friend with a shocked look, horrified at what had just happened.
"Don't tell me… Vampiric charm!? But we should be immune!"
"T-This…" The leader's friend looked at Victor with a terrified look, "Just who are you? How do you have this power!?"
The man knew normal vampires couldn't do that and needed to know who this man was! Wrong… That monster!
Victor looked at the man with a red gaze that seemed to penetrate the man's soul:
"You can call me Alucard."
"…."
As if a supernatural entity had cut off the sound of the entire room, all the wolves stopped breathing and just opened their mouths in shock.
"Eh…?" One of the men thought he had suddenly gone deaf.
"Hahahahaha… You are kidding, right…." One of the men seemed to have gone into a state of denial.
"A vampire Count…" Father Fernando opened his mouth in pure shock, even for him who lived in a remote area heard the news of the new vampire Count, 'What is someone of his caliber doing in this humble church!?' He was cursing his fate now.
'Wait… This can be an opportunity since vampire counts don't have human morality and just do what interests them. I can try to negotiate with him to make more money.' As expected of a greedy man, they always find an opportunity to make money.
"T-The Fifth count!" The leader screamed in shock.
"You seem to know me, dog."
"Of course! Everyone in the supernatural world, even those of a small tribe, know you!"
"What is someone of your level doing in this faraway land!? Shouldn't you be in Nightingale?"
"I'm just on a walk."
"… A walk…?" The leader didn't seem to believe what he was hearing.
"I want to know what's going on here, tell me-." Before Victor could finish speaking, he heard:
"YES, WE WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT, COUNT ALUCARD!" The man quickly approached Victor, bowed, and was waiting for any possible question from Victor.
"…?" Victor didn't understand the man's reaction. Why is he reacting so intensely?
[Master, you underestimate the weight the Count Vampire title has in the supernatural world…]
Victor heard Kaguya's voice in his head.
[The four… Wrong, the five vampire Counts are beings who claim to have a power capable of destroying countries easily, there are few beings in the supernatural world who can achieve that feat. And these wolves are from an isolated tribe, so it's obvious they would react that way.]
"But I still don't have the power to destroy a country…" Victor whispered in a very low voice. He was completely honest, and believed he didn't have the ability to destroy a country alone, yet.
After all, for him to achieve that feat, he would have to fight the entire country alone, and depending on the country, the number of supernatural beings in that place could be unimaginable.
[That doesn't matter, in just having the title of vampire count recognized by the king, you're already considered a being who is capable of destroying countries… This wolf's reaction is a natural reaction.]
'This title carries so much weight, huh?' Victor thought, as he looked at the man and asked:
"What-" Before he could finish asking something, he heard:
"What did you do to Leticia!?" The woman behind the ice throne suddenly screamed with a look of hatred.
[This bitch…] Kaguya wasn't at all happy that this human interrupted her master.
"…" Victor looked at the nun, seemed to think for a few seconds, while he appeared to be planning something; 'Let's do a test…'
Having come to a decision, he looked at the man who was still in the same position as before. He didn't seem to have registered the woman's words:
"Answer all her questions." Victor rested his head on his arm and looked at everything like he was witnessing the most boring thing.
"Yes!" The man looked at the woman and said:
"She was used in our ritual to create new warriors."
"…" Victor's eyes twitched, he didn't need to be a genius to understand what the man was talking about, and it made his mood so much worse, but he still remained silent and did nothing, just waiting for the conclusion of this conversation.
"What is this ritual!? What did you do to her?"
"It is a sacred practice passed down by our tribe. Have I not already said? It was used to create new warriors." The man answered all questions with a neutral look.
The nun Bruna bit her lip in frustration, "…What do you mean by 'she was used to create new warriors'?"
"Exactly what the phrase implies, it was used to create new warriors, and the means of making new warriors is through procreation."
"… WW-What happened to her?" Bruna's voice seemed to be breaking in despair, "Is she alive?" She still had some hope that her friend was alive, however deplorable her condition was.
"No woman survives the ritual."
"…" Bruna put her hand over her mouth and looked at the man in front of her as if he were a monster, then she fell to the ground and began to cry silently.
Suddenly a frightening pressure fell through all the wolves, and they felt like the world had fallen on them:
"Dog, answer me." Victor's eyes glowed a cruel red.
"…" The man's body shook, and soon his eyes lost their hint of life. He was in the control of Victor.
"What are you-." One of the man's subordinates was going to say something, but Victor wasn't in the mood for it. He just looked at the subordinates and said:
"Silence." Quickly they all nodded like they were robots.
"Where is your tribe located?" That was the first thing Victor wanted to know.
"Our tribe is located…" The man began to explain the location of their tribe to Victor.
After listening to the man's explanation, Victor asked:
"What is the ritual you guys talk about so much?"
"The ritual is a sacred practice. We capture virgin women, turn them into werewolves, and use them to increase the number of warriors."
[Disgusting creature.] Kaguya felt that, for the first time in her life, she had met someone who could be called trash.
"Did you participate in this 'ritual'?"
"Of course, all men participate."
"… Why do you do this?"
"There is a myth in our clan that if a considerable number of werewolves are born at the same time, an alpha may be born among them, and we need an Alpha."
"Why do you need an Alpha?"
"Our tribe does not have an Alpha, and because of that, we are weak, so we need a leader to make us stronger."
"Is this myth real?"
"We do not know."
"…" Victor opened his mouth in shock since he seemed to have heard the most absurd thing in his life.
"And because of this myth that you don't even know is true, you're kidnapping nuns and using them as a breeding machine?" Victor spoke in a venomous tone.
"Yes." The man's emotionless response only made him angrier.
"…" Victor was silent.
"Leticia… Leticia… I'm sorry, I should have stayed with you…"
For a moment, he looked at the woman who was crying on the floor with a neutral face, and then his vision went to the man behind the pillar:
"Did you know about this, worm?"
The priest's body trembles and he says, "Yes."
"How many nuns have you delivered to this tribe?"
"Five nuns."
"… Why did you do that?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"I did it for the money, and for my happiness. The church is no longer receiving donations, and I was living in poverty."
"Why didn't you try to work?"
"Why should I work? I'm just supposed to receive donations and live a good life, but the donations stopped happening because of a problem in the local town, and I don't-."
"Silence." Victor didn't feel like hearing any more.
"…" The man closed his mouth.
Victor was not a saint; he had committed a massacre of innocent beings a few days ago.
Victor considered himself a warrior and was always looking to get stronger and face stronger opponents. After all, he would have fun in the process. And, by considering himself a warrior, he would only raise his sword to those who raised their swords against him first.
That was the thought that led him to kill the SWAT agents.
But what about these men?
"… I was wrong." Victor's eyes glowed a cruel red, he looked at all these men:
"Calling you worms is just an insult to the worms themselves. You don't deserve it." For Victor, these men were something worse than worms. He didn't even have enough adjectives to describe what these men were.
He just felt disgust for these men, and Victor's whole being was repulsed by these men.
He created an ice sword and held it in his hand as he walked towards the men.
"Sniff, Sniff."
Victor stopped walking, he looked at the woman with a neutral gaze, and slowly his face changed to show a slight annoyance:
"How long will you cry, Nun!" Victor's voice seemed to echo throughout the church as the entire building seemed to tremble at his bellow.
"…?" The woman looked at Victor with a tearful look.
Victor didn't say anything and just threw the sword he created in front of the woman.
"…" The woman looked at the sword without understanding anything. She looked at Victor again and then saw him pointing his finger at all the wolves:
"This is your revenge, you must do this."
"I-…" She hesitated.
"You must do this." Victor's eyes gleamed with insanity.
"…" The woman looked into Victor's eyes:
"It was your people who were given to be used by these men, it was your friend who was given to these men, the souls of these women cry out for revenge."
"You must do this!" Victor's demonic voice shook the woman's entire existence.
"!!!" The woman looked at Victor with wide eyes in shock, Victor still looked like an angel to the woman, but for the first time, the woman understood what kind of angel Victor was…
He was an angel of vengeance…
The woman looked at the ice sword in front of her.
Unconsciously, a memory appeared in her mind:
"Hey, Bruna. What are you going to do when you leave this town?"
"… I do not know."
"Hahaha, you are always like this, always indecisive. You need to take action more often, Woman!"
"Stop calling me indecisive." Bruna pouted.
"Well, I already know what I'm going to do!"
"…?" Bruna looked at her friend:
"I will build a family! A big family! I've always dreamed of this. I know the people at the orphanage are my family too, but… I want to have a 'real' family, someone who shares my blood!"
"I see… If it's you, I'm sure you'll be able to build a beautiful family." Bruna exhibited a gentle smile.
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
"Hahahaha, I definitely will!"
Bruna woke up from her memories, "Yes, you're right… I was always indecisive, but not anymore." Bruna's eyes shone with determination.
She picked up the ice sword.
"Ugh." She felt the ice hurting her hand, but she didn't care. Instead, she raised the sword up and looked at the wolves:
"I will kill them. Everyone. I will kill them." She walked towards the leader and thrust her sword into his heart.
Her hands shook as she felt the sensation of flesh being pierced, but she didn't stop, "AHHHH!" She put in more strength and pierced the man's heart.
The man fell to the ground, he wasn't dead yet, the woman didn't know it, her mind was in chaos, but unconsciously she just looked at the other men.
She gripped the sword with determination, and hate flashed in her eyes, and soon she walked towards the men and began to kill them one by one.
"…good." Victor's smile grew so distorted that if anyone saw his smile now, they would definitely call him a demon.
But he couldn't help it. He was just too pleased with what he was witnessing.
'I found my first Maid.'
