Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?-Chapter 386 A Vampire!
A vampire?
What was that?
Whether it was Ghu Sota or the rest, they had never heard of such a bizarre name.
"Vampire... They live on blood, feeding on their prey, sucking the victims dry until there's no more blood in their body."
"What?"
Payne and everyone exclaimed with dropped jaws, listening to Bewoh's voice.
"They're most weak under sunlight and hate garlic. They won't die from eating it or rubbing it on their bodies... But, they'll still feel the burn."
As for the method of killing them, only exorcism.
Even if one pierced a stake through their heart, it would do much. They would take out the stake and laugh at the idiotic mortals who came up with such ideas.
Well, one couldn't blame the mortals.
In some worlds, vampires were the ones who misled the public, making them think taking a stake and protecting them would do anything to kill them.
Heh... How naive.
How can anyone kill something already dead using a stake?
As for silver bullets, that was even more ridiculous. The bullets would pass through or get stuck in their bodies, which they could pull out themselves if they wanted to.
The first vampire ever was Lucifer's direct creation.
He created the vampire with his blood, as well as a mix of abyss dirt, essence, and mold.
One could say they, vampires, technically didn't come from the underworld since the abyss didn't make them.
However, they could also live in the underworld well because they had a secondary abyss link.
Even if Lucifer died, they wouldn't die since they were forcefully linked to the abyss.
That said, it was because of their way of reaction that they had defects like weakness under the mortal sun and so on.
Again, because Lucifer Morning Star himself was the prince of pride, they too had an immeasurable amount of pride and nobility in their blood, as though everyone was born to serve them.
But there was a difference between vampires born in the underworld and humans turned into vampires.
Human vampires were just dogs working for the real vampires. They had their own freedom. Yes… But they were bound by contract to fulfill certain duties. They would have to give up half their powers, and life spans every 50~100 years. And to replenish it, it meant they had to kill more and do evil to survive.
That said, human vampires once killed have human souls. They were different.
.
Vampires...
Bewoh had only learned of them last night. He spent the entire evening mastering 2 spells that could defeat the creature. And if he made any errors, he still had his book in the wooden box for reference.
Bewoh clinched his giant scissors, looking towards Ghu Sota and the rest.
He hoped they were ready because there were yet another special power vampires had... Cloning.
They could create clones of themselves, though the lines would only have 1/3rd of their current strength.
Bewoh had a hunch the vampire before him would pull this trick. And sure enough, he was right.
Zar began swelling, attempting to rip apart Botan's body and burst into his original form.
But how could he allow that?
"Igtranesium!"
Get out of there!!!
Zar formed a cross with his fists to block the 'attack' only to find out he had been forced out of the body.
Boom!
Everything happened in slow motion in the eyes of the watchers.
They saw Botan being pushed back. And mid-air, another figure was pushed out even more from Botan's body!!
Whoooooo~~~~
A deadly storm flushed through the scene when the creature emerged.
The walls began to crack and critter as though many foreign beings were roaming in it.
"Vice deputy director, do you hear that?"
Everyone held onto each other, feeling the wind about to carry them off.
The air began to rot, in a sense that they now began to see the rot.
Yes!
The room they thought was lavish now decayed at an alarming rate before their eyes. In a flash, it turned into an abandoned place, with everything covered in deep mold that stung their nostrils like acid.
The interior wood was rooting, and the place was just one big mess.
"What's happening?" Payne couldn't help asking Ghu Sota and the rest.
"Simple. When an underworld being lives in a place for long, everything around there rots. They can mask it through a special technique, provided they stay hidden. Because once they are revealed, the illusion gets broken... Now hold on tight!"
Dammit!!!
Everyone had turned into Peter Pan, suspended in the air while holding onto the rope Ghu Sota brought out.
It was ironic that Payne also had a rope too.
F***! 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com
Since last time, he realized how valuable a simple rope could be.
Last time, an entire work desk smacked onto his knee mid-air before a chat also gave him the famous WWE smackdown hit.
Augh~
He didn't understand why these creatures had to cause wind storms whenever they appeared.
What the hell? Can't you show up like ordinary people?
~Flutter. Flutter. Bleeck!
The light bulbs blinked several, now exploded from the big reveal.
Everyone held on tightly with expressions that showed their paralyzed states.
The creature looked at them, grinning broadly.
Just his operation was enough for many to move along the ropes, no one wanting to dangle closer to the creature.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Hot fluid flowed down the past of one inspector, as his legs were now dangling too close to the open fighting space.
The man seemed to see his life flash before his eyes, fainting from looking at the creature's eyes.
Mommy...
Payne was also breathing coarsely, turning his face to evade contact with the creature.
Its true form was one he couldn't describe even if interrogated.
All he knew was that it had a hunched back, was brown and slightly skeletal, and had overly long legs and hands.
Its neck was lengthy, and its entire body rotted like a juicy corpse.
Looking into its eyes could make one fall into an abyss, too terrifying to save themselves from.
The creature had a pair of bat-like wings, as well as a long and scanty set of gray hair that had all sorts of bugs crawling on it.
This... This was a vampire.
~Kahhhhh!
The vampire hissed in its full glory.
And plucking several sets of hair from its head, it formed just 2 other clones, half its size.
This meant they were the size of regular mortals.
"Disciples!... You know what to do."
