The last Vampire with the Hero summoner system: I get 5x their powers-Chapter 65: God’s heart
"Are you joking? We are in no position to even be around one right now, they could kill us with a breath!" Kobi cried, covering his mouth dramatically.
After witnessing Alyndra’s powers, I had a pretty good guess about the identity of one of them.
I rubbed my chin while staring at a grotesque, blood-covered, human heart, swallowing some saliva.
Alya was giving me an encouraging look, but ugh! ...Eating it without life-threatening pressure was a whole other challenge.
"Hm... Overload?" Zhenny’s face turned thoughtful as she let go of Kobi, as if going through every bit of information in her head.
She nodded after a second, "There are only two besides Alyndra..." She pulled two documents out of a small pouch she wore hidden under the long black robe, "Jah crooks and Luci Desen."
Jah... What is that motherfucker up to? I wasn’t too happy with him, not gonna lie. He should be sensing me and our situation as clearly as he was here...
I mean, I am not expecting him to be my babysitter, but the way he was treating me... he could at least help a little bit, seeing we are all dying, no?
But, who’s Luci? Our names had similarities, which was my only impression of it.
Zhenny’s eyes scanned the documents, "Luci Desen, also known as the holy pillar of the strongest empire..." She glanced at me once with complex eyes, "Nocthra Empire."
Huh?
"Luci was named after her." My eyes widened at Alya’s whisper. Holy pillar sounded like the cardinal equivalent of the Nocthra empire. But the prince being named after her...
Is she an ally? My face brightened, Jah was already closer to a friend then enemy. Two overloads! We can do it!
After a second thought, my face darkened as quickly as it had brightened.
...They are fighting?!
Zhenny continued without another thought, "She is a high elf who fled after failing to assassinate the Queen and the prince, only to be defeated by Alyndra, who was stationed at the borders quite easily due to her weakened state."
My face had lost whatever colour it had. Someone who had tried and failed to kill me is now right next to me, whilst having a great opportunity to kill me. There are no trump cards anymore; it would be up to Jah to save me then.
Alya had grabbed my hand, rubbing my palm with her soft thumb, her warmth seeping in and providing some comfort, though her despair-filled, scornful face instantly made that vanish.
Zhenny flipped to the other page with a passive look, "Jah crooks is a human raised in slums who dealt in illegally obtained veil ingredients—
illegal potions that raised power at a great cost, dangerous artifacts and drugs like cocaine, famous for his massacres of entire groups of anyone who crosses his path by either not paying or stealing from his customers."
Zhenny rubbed her throat as if tired of speaking, "Not much is known about how he was caught, besides Alyndra was the one to catch him."
Suge nodded gratefully, listening to every word from Zhenny patiently, "I see... If it’s those two, it makes sense. Must be a fight for each other’s cores..."
After noticing our blank looks, he added, "I’ve heard that they were both very close to evolution, so winning this fight could mean an important ingredient for their veil of ascension; a breakthrough to Paragon!"
Suge closed to me, "Lucien, we cannot get involved in this, no matter what. I will try to communicate with other Alphas, let’s leave asap." He pointed at the gooey, bloody heart in my hand, "So... Be prepared."
"Agreed." ’Friend’ or foe, I’d rather avoid all contact with an overload until I am at that stage too. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
If it were the current me back in front of Jah’s cell, I definitely wouldn’t have opened that cell. Alyndra-PTSD was gonna stay with me for a while.
Now... I gulped, sniffing the heart with a wrinkled nose; it smelled like the chicken I left in the kitchen at the peak of summer for three weeks when I went on a trip and dead rats.
Chomp!
I bit on it. There were countless mixed and judging gazes aimed at me. Only Alya knew my signature skill, so I couldn’t blame them.
A beer-like taste overwhelmed by tastebuds. It wasn’t as bad as it smelled. With the countless cans of beer and even jugs of homemade beer I had emptied, I called on my spirit that could drink literal piss water.
A few seconds passed. My hands were painted red, but they were holding nothing anymore. I had done it!
"BLEGHHHHHHH!!" My stomach contorted as I puked. Ren, Sasha, and five more slaves accompanied me, painting the ground in yellow puke.
No... A horrified look overtook my face at a thought, Don’t tell me I will have to eat my puke to get the powers... I covered my mouth, holding back another puke.
