"Ahh... haa... kill... ..."
"Hwaah... still nothing."
I yawned as I lazily looked at the hanging body in front of .
He had lost his eyes completely after piercing them multiple tis. The fact that small needles made holes in his eyes could show how many tis they stabbed him.
Piece by piece, I cut all his limbs slowly by the shaving thod, from the tip to the shoulder or the thigh like cutting cheese. It was a little slow but definitely painful. I also did the sa for his penis and tail.
No more skin or fur covered him after I skinned him myself like a flesh banana, leaving the scene of a half-burned, body-pierced beastman.
He also didn’t have ears or a nose now, and missed a few parts of his body’s flesh.
Of course, everything he lost was eaten by Glutton himself. Both him and Zephyr were stunned by Glutton’s ugly form.
[They were stunned by my otherworldly charm!]
Now there was a problem.
I had shocked, poisoned, pierced and burned every painful nervous point on his remaining body...
Yet, that motherfucker wasn’t answering!
All he says is argh ah ahh it hurts stop blah blah blah.
That fucking crap wasn’t what I needed!
His bracelet wasn’t a problem after I removed it, but the real problem was his cores!
I used special potions to stop them from working, but that was only temporarily — I was running out of ti!
I stood close to Taigo, then with a swift swing, I kicked the chain covering his head.
"Ahhh...!"
Seeing him crying blood, I looked at him with disgust and coldly said: "There is no after life, only second life. So why are you defending them so much as if they’re going to send you to heaven??"
The next mont, I saw sothing that made stunned.
He smiled.
Under the chains. Under his swollen, tattered, burned face. Under his bloody mouth and the intense pain... he smiled.
A disgusting, trembling bloody smile.
"A brat... won’t understand our... purpose. The Dark Order... will save Eldoria."
I raised an eyebrow. "By killing your own races and cooperating with demons? Oh... how generous of you."
He laughed, his shallow voice cracking with pain.
"A few necessary sacrifices for... the big image. There are many things... they won’t tell you in the academy. You have seen it, right? Knulls... are no different from us."
"So you won’t tell those things?"
"...."
My gaze lingered on him for a long mont, then I kicked his face again.
"Glutton, your al is ready!"
Imdiately, Zephyr dropped the chain as Glutton jumped at him.
I made 2 invisible chairs for both of and Zephyr. Sitting on the chair, I crossed my legs as I listened to the tiger’s screams.
"Why did you stop?" Zephyr suddenly asked, trying to turn his head away from the scene of the man getting teared apart.
Despite his nature, it was obvious that the first ti witnessing this was still hard even for him.
My gaze landed on him as I smiled in amusent.
"He wouldn’t have answered anything... I simply failed miserably. All we got was his spatial ring and cube."
It was really interesting.
I underestimated the people in this world, where the Cultivators had much stronger will than those in my past life.
The torture thod was entirely useless. Only because he was degenerate didn’t an he was a flat character.
I wasn’t reading a novel, but living on it. That random tigerman endured things that my past prey couldn’t have endured. Hell, so of them only needed a slap to start talking!
"Done! He was delicious." Glutton said as he turned into a human and licked the blood on his hands.
He now had the appearance of a 15 or 16 years old. He was really growing rapidly.
"Well, it’s ti to leave now." I stood up and started cleaning the place.
Unconsciously, my mind drifted to what Taigo said.
’A few necessary sacrifices, huh?’
I didn’t know what he ant by the big image, the purpose of the Dark Order, the things that were hidden from us nor did I care about them.
All I knew was that he was a sinner for treating innocent people as sacrifices.
I may not be a hero, but I wasn’t that type of person.
If you gave the option of saving either 2 innocent strangers or Aria, I’d have saved Aria.
But if it was about directly killing them as a sacrifice for saving Aria, then unfortunately, I’d have let all of them die.
I loved Aria, I truly did, and I was even ready to sacrifice myself for her! But sacrificing other people who might have families waiting for them to save her?
I wasn’t going to do such a thing.
Never.
•••
’It’s finally the day, ha.’
[Yeah...]
On Saturday, the warm rays of morning sun passed through the window and fell upon us.
I was eating breakfast with Selene on the bed while waiting for my supposed grandmother and uncle to arrive.
Aria had already inford that they would visit today and I had to prepare myself for so pain.
As for the reason? She said they would help awaken my innate ability to manipulate blood.
Yes, after they finished awakening my innate ability, I’d be finally able to manipulate blood like a real vampire!
And sothing noticeable was how Aria stopped ignoring entirely. I didn’t know what caused her to change suddenly, but I was happy with that.
’Hey Aria, how does it feel to manipulate blood?’
Almost in an instant, Aria’s soft voice echoed in my head.
—Like how you manipulate normal affinities, like wind, it’s simple. You can also manipulate the blood in soone’s body, but even I can’t do this yet.
’Oh, and when will you arrive?’
—Maybe half an hour. They have to inform the principal first.
’Okay, thank you.’
After finishing the breakfast, Selene left to take a quick shower while I went to the kitchen.
’Hey Glutton, did the vampire book ntion anything about pure vampires’ favourite food?’
Glutton shook his head on my shoulder.
[No. I don’t even know if they can eat normal food. Ask my auntie.]
I sighed. ’Tsk, useless.’
’Hey sis, do pure vampires only drink blood?’
....
No answer ca.
’Aria?’
—I don’t know... I just know that we can also drink blood...
My mouth opened wide. ’What—!’
—Don’t even try it! I just tasted it once and it was really bad! Don’t. Try. It!
"...."
’Fine, I’ll make normal food then and hope they can eat it.’
Once I finished talking with her, I took a blood bottle out of my storage. It was Taigo’s blood. I was keeping so for Glutton.
In an instant, I opened it and took a sip.
Imdiately, the blood touched my tongue, but instead of the expected disgusting or tallic taste, it was like warm, sweet cream and honey.
Aria had lied! The taste was addictive even!
[See?] Glutton grinned, showing his sharp teeth under his beak, [That’s how it tastes to !]
I looked at him, still stunned by the flavour before drinking the entire bottle.
[Hey! You bastard, it’s mine!]
I wiped the blood off my mouth and started making food. "Sorry, but I have just discovered my second favourite drink. From now on, blood is mine and anything else is yours."
[.....]
[That’s not fair...]
•••
After making the food, I sat around the table, Selene sitting on my right and Glutton on my shoulder.
Now all we had to do was wait.
Selene suddenly looked at and asked: "Are you sure of that? I don’t mind leaving you to et them privately..."
I laughed softly, putting my hand on her cold head and patting it. "It’s okay — we’re not too close to have a private reunion. So long as you stay in your human form, you can eat with us. Additionally, how could I kick you out before testing this masterpiece with us?!"
At my words, she glanced at what I had put in the middle of the table earlier.
It wasn’t just a cake, but a masterpiece! Made of 5 tiers, each tier was divided into 5 sections, and each section had a different color reflecting the different flavour.
In other words, it was 25 compressed together in one cake!
Additionally, it was a half Tier-2 half Tier-3 cake! I wanted to make it entirely made of Tier-3 ingredients, but they cost too much.
As for its effects, it just did so temporary body enhancents. It was a small waste to be honest, but that was enough to make a good family reunion with 2 overpowered vampires.
"Thank you." Selene muttered, her lips curling into a soft smile.
*BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!*
All of a sudden, soone knocked on the door, but the sound was more of soone punching it.
"Must be them..."
I exhaled slowly and walked to the door, bringing my bracelet before it.
*Ting!*
As the door began to move, a pale white hand suddenly grabbed it and slamd it open.
The next thing I felt was soone pulling into a warm tight hug.
I sighed, forcing a smile as I looked at the woman hugging .
"Nice to see you again... Grandma."
