'This was an unexpected level of failure'
With blood still dripping down the side of his face YuJu thought
'Even though the blood was incompatible the reaction was too volatile'
Earlier he used his skill to evolve the well rested thrall that was fed with boar blood only for her to pop open like a balloon
At the ti YuJu and Mia were caught unprepared having not at all foreseen this happening which allowed the blood to sar both
'It just goes to show how forceful this power can be'
Looking at his hand he couldn't help but wonder of all the possibilities that were before him, unlike before when he was limited to a few servants treading delicately through the path of evolution, now he could freely experint with replaceable subjects, gaining a strong following while he was at it
'This is too much power in one class, if curiosity didn't lead to produce a blood bond with Mia then all this wouldn't have been possible'
One couldn't help but wonder whether this was sothing that even the system did not expect or if it was what the class was ant for to begin with
'Guiding loyal subordinates to the top while creating a rather strong army to support their advance, it is indeed too scary of a class'
Everything seed all too good to be true, and it was
Moving his eyes to the sole person beside him in the hall now he could finally speak to Mia of the questions plaguing his mind
"Mia"
"Yes Master"
"Tell , what makes Zero and the woman earlier so different from the rest of the thralls"
Mia, who was ready to answer any questions he had, was taken back by this one, mainly because it didn't make sense, after all it was a world's difference between them....
Suddenly a suspicion ca to her, maybe, just maybe, her master did not know the two were vampires?
The thought sounded stupid, after all he was the one to turn her into a half vampire, giving her so much power, as well as being soone that seemingly predicts the future with extre precision, how could such a person not know that the two servants of his house were vampires?
'He really looks like he thinks they are thralls though...'
Staring at his questioning green eyes through the smoke she realized the stupid thought might actually be true, else she didn't know any other answer to the earlier question
"Zero and Ika are my direct blood servants Master, aning they are vampires falling under the direct rule of our House"
"Vampires....It's as I thought"
Ever since he saw Zero call a camp of bats he ca up with the suspicion that she was a vampire and not a thrall, the thought was top far fetched however making him doubt it over and over, upon confirming with Mia the truth he beca much more troubled
'I thought embrace was just the skill na of enthralnt, I should have focused further on the description'
This information was both blessing and disaster, for one he knew that vampires couldn't turn other races into vampires, only enthrall them, the fact that they owned such skills could make them fall under the vampires' heavy greed, after all they could finally boost their stagnant numbers
"Hmm, how many vampires can you have under you?"
"There isn't a cap on the number Master, it's just that it takes a huge toll on my vitality each ti I make use of the skill"
Thos wanted another one of his questions, it appears this was the thing behind that absurdly low vitality for a vampire
'If there are such limits then it's possible that True vampires may have this skill, keeping it a secret while gradually increasing their numbers'
It was indeed possible, and if it was true then he had another headache coming his way
"Haaah"
Letting out a sigh he pushed against the throne and slowly stood, it appears Mia wasn't the only one weak in vitality as he himself seed to enter a state of weakness after using his blood related Master skills
"Have Ika fetch so blood essence vials from Subrina, she is the head maid of the House and her skills lie in the production of such items, in the future you should ask for a constant amount of blood essence from her to feed yourself and recover vitality quickly"
"As you wish Master"
Mia also understood the importance of increasing their numbers and nodded
"I'll wash up while you instruct her, when we're done let's head out toward bat beast infested areas"
At the ntion of washing up Mia imdiately acted, calling for the bat that held the map and quickly writing his order with the blood sared on her before sending it to Ika
"All done Master, since I am free and just as sticky how about I join you?"
To this obvious eagerness he couldn't but say...
"No"
Then walk away with large strides, quickly leaving the dumbfounded Mia's vision
Once more on the long clear path he tried to look through these flipped floors for a decent bath
His search did not take too long however, the first floor upon his exit housed one such bath, placed boldly in the middle of the floor on the right along with several bathroom accessories as well as a curtain to block vision when needed
"...."
Seeing the rising steam and violet petals filling the jacuzzi as well as the red lamps dotting its surroundings he couldn't help but feel that it was the right decision to refuse her request to join
Expanding the smoke from his body he had it envelop the bath's surroundings, rely to keep eyes out while he enjoyed his ti
Quickly donning his birthday suit he dipped into the steaming hot water, taking a deep long breath of the petals strong sll and descending into a relaxed state of mind
'Only thing missing is a good ssage'
The thought of calling Mia for one filtered through his mind for a second before quickly being dismissed
While he didn't mind Ellis being with him in the bath, or Subrina giving him a ssage during one, he strongly minded Mia's presence in one
'She doesn't stop at unspoken limits'
The difference between a blood slave and a soul one is that the forr, while sharing the sa loyalty as the latter, were much more proactive with their masters, reason being the strong desire residing in blood compared to the pure state of the soul
'It would be problematic if she went overboard with her actions under the effect of desire….much better to avoid such scenarios...all together….'
His consciousness drifted in and out, and before he noticed how really tired he was sleep had already taken him into its embrace
...
Why here again?
...
Wouldn't there ever be a response to his questions?
…....
Not this silence again, he was already sick and tired of it
...
Would soone co save him again from this seemingly everlasting loneliness or did they already forget who he was? Maybe there wasn't even anyone left to rember him anyway?
...
That's right, there was probably no one alive that recalled his existence, didn't he make sure of that with his own bloody sinful hands!?
"Master!"
Red, this ti it was a deep red that greeted his exit, one that rippled with every beat of their hearts, the overflow of senses following quickly after along with a sudden rush of blood that ca knocking on desires deep within
Locked in this increasingly hot gaze, Mia, who was less vulnerable to her emotions, was the first to move
Already facing his subrged body she leaned forward to grab at his lips with her own, still staring into his eyes with her own only with a fierier glint
As she moved however she seed to spot a glimpse of his eyes catching fire, no emotions contained within, only an observing apathetic deadly gaze
This caused her boiling blood to run cold, ceasing her actions and imdiately returning to a standing posture with her hair on ends
Only a second after this quick happening did the overflow of sensations end, allowing YuJu to cover his eyes in discomfort
After bouts of deep breaths he finally cald down, removing his hand to show normal eyes once more with the slightest hint of emotions, uncaring as they may be
"Did I sleep for long?"
"N-no.. Just a few hours"
"Good"
She looked composed but her voice shook, betraying her sowhat fearful state, which she was trying to get rid of as quickly as possible, hard as it may be after almost seemingly staring death in the eye for a mont there
"It's about ti we leave for the hunt"
YuJu didn't comnt on any of what just happened, as if it never did, rising out of the water and quickly wearing a new set of clothing before leading the way out of this den and into the darkness of the night
