I knew why he was acting like this. my description of ability clearly stated that
any vampire which was made by me cannot harm me.'
"now it's turn for experiment no. 4"
I lifted Henry up by his face. and used another vampiric ability. [ vampire servant ]
A chain-like tattoo started to form around his neck and soon his eyes lost their colour.
I released him from my grasp as he kneeled in front of me.
" master "
just those words and I knew my ability has worked like a charm.
"you bastard what did you do with Henry!"
muscle guy from before shouted at me as he saw his friend kneeling in front of me.
"just what would happen to you later!"
I answered without even looking at him. my whole attention was on Henry.
'It's like he is not even alive anymore.'
I thought as I stared into his lifeless eyes.
'but how to check his loyalty? '
suddenly an idea came to me. A small smile crept on my face as I looked at the two remaining people.
"Henry right. kill that guy over there."
I commanded without batting an eye.
"yes, master"
Henry stood up from his place as he dashed toward the one who threw ice shred at me.
he slashed his fingers as the blood came out and then the blood morphed into the shape of the sword as he headed toward the human.
(I'll narrate this fight as a human v/s vampire)
The human didn't back down. he raised his hands and conjured a sharp ice blade in each one. The two charged towards each other, their weapons clashing in a shower of sparks.
I saw all this but didn't interfere I wanted to see my servant's fighting capability. that's why I restrained the brown haired guy as well.
I noticed that my servant was winning. it was obvious that he would win, he had several other abilities other than his initial human ability. like blood manipulation, superior speed and strength not like his opponent who had only one ability Cryokinesis
The human began to tire, his energy drained from the intense battle. he tried to conjure another ice wall, but his power had weakened. the vampire saw his chance and struck, grazing the human arm with his sword.
as soon as Henry grazed the human arm his attack became more wild and faster.
The man tried to dodge, but it was too late. The vampire's sword pierced through his chest, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.
The vampire looked down at the man's body, and began to move toward me as he reached me he kneeled and lowered his head.
.....
.....
"Ok. now go find that woman from before, and bring her here."
"yes master"
Henry Said as left toward the forest
"now what to do with you."
I asked as I looked at the brown haired guy, as my flames were surrounding him from all sides. ready to kill him if he moved even an inch.
I wouldn't Kill him of course, after seeing Henry I had no plans on killing him.
I walked toward him slowly and raised my hand to grab his neck. and used my skill
[ Life Steal ]
.....
now in front of me was another noble vampire I already placed the servant seal on him and now we were waiting for Henry to return.
suddenly I remembered that there was some notification When I killed the guy from before.
[you absorbed a high amount of mana]
[you absorbed skill accelerated movement]
[accelerated speed: increase the speed of your body movement by twice]
quite the useful ability I must say. I looked toward where Henry killed the ice guy. there lied a batterd body colouring the ground with red.
I had forgotten to absorb his ability since I was too immersed in making the vampire.
I moved toward the body and burned it with my flames.
soon notifications appeared in front of me
[you absorbed a high amount of mana]
[you have absorbed ability: Cryokinesis]
[Cryokinesis: you can generate and control ice]
this ability was good too. The only thing limiting this arcane power would be mana capacity or Mana control, but I was confident in my mana control and for mana capacity I could continuously increase it by absorbing other beings.
as I was looking at the description of the ability I noticed someone coming out of the forest.
it was not Henry it was the woman from before who ordered her goons to kill Eric. and she was dragging somebody.
behind her Vanessa being dragged through the mud, her light blue hair now riddled with blood and mud. her face and body suffering injuries of at least 3 degree burn as she was being dragged by a blonde woman from before.
"what's this? you didn't kill him"
Blonde haired woman said as she saw me standing in the middle of blood stained ground.
I had already told Luke(brown haired muscle guy) to hide as I didn't want her to run. sure with my speed I could catch her easily but what if she had ability related to fleeing It would be difficult then. it was better to be prepared then do the extra work.
"No he offered us a deal."
"oh! really~"
behind Vanessa another guy stepped out from the forest it was Henry, he looked at me, And I gave him the nod.
A blonde haired woman moved toward me, and now she was just standing 20 meters away from me.
"so what's the deal you were talking about? since you managed to convince Henry it must be something good."
I smiled as she agreed to negotiate so easily.
"what's your name?"
"Susan."
"It's simple susan tell me who sent you and I'll let you leave without any harm."
"huh? Henry are you listening to this bullshit. this bastard thinks he can take us down."
susan turned back only to see Henry looking at her with lifeless eyes.
slowly all the puzzles came into place, why was there blood on the ground when Eric Alastair was perfectly fine? Why were her other three subordinates not present?
susan turned back and narrowed her eyes dangerously at Henry as a ball of wind started forming in her hand.
"why?"
"...."
"why did you betray us!?"
".…"
"very close. but it was not he who betrayed you, as a matter of fact nobody betrayed you , it was your misfortune to not know who you messed with."
my voice sounded From her side but before she could turn back I grabbed her neck with my clawed hand and sucked more than half of her life force.
And just like Henry and Luke I made her my Nobel vampire servant.
"Luke, start the car we are going to continue at our destination. And Susan you tell me everything in the car, what's happening in the family, who ordered you to do this and any other information which I need to know about. "
after ordering them I was about to go to my car when.
"master."
Henry called out to me.
"what do we do with her?"
Henry said as he pointed at Vanessa who was unconscious .
I had totally forgotten about her. if Henry hadn't pointed it out she would have been left here.
'but what to do with her? she had already seen what others did and if she opened her mouth it could be dangerous.'
after thinking for some time I made up my mind.
'I will make her vampire as well and make Henry watch her movement. '
But I'll only turn her into a common vampire to control her more easily.
I used my ability as a magic circle started to form below her.
[ which vampire rank do you wish to bestow upon human : venessa mathis ]
[Commoner]
[Noble]
[Royalty]
I chose a common class as red spike pierced and entered her body. soon venessa became a vampire as well albeit not a servant.
but she still did not wake up, sighing I told Henry to put her in the car as well.
now I entered the car, and susan sat in the driver seat.
"now tell me. why did you attack me?"
I sat on a black seat as I stared at susan from a rare view mirror.
"It was order from your uncle. master"
I frowned as I listened to what she said, but then again Alastair was the family which was ruled by strong and many people didn't like that kind of system, and since they can't do anything to my father they are targeting me.
"which uncle?"
I asked as my father had three other siblings and countless cousins.
"your second uncle Ryland Alastair."
