"Does that make it the tenth?" Midnight muttered under her breath as she glanced around the church.
The walls were painted with blood, and a few bodies of a Purifiers lay on the ground, dead.
When they attacked her the first ti, they made it clear that they knew there was a vampire in the capital and weren't afraid to act,
As such, she saw no point in trying to conceal herself so much anymore and decided to attack her enemy where it hurt.
Attacking a large church was a suicide, but the smaller ones that didn't have any kind of specialists among their ranks were a piece of cake to clear. She wasn't doing this because of revenge, of course, but sothing else.
She shifted her gaze to her arm that was painted with blood from her enemies. Her nails were sharp… sharper than they had ever been before.
She was stronger and faster than she had ever been before. It was all thanks to these attacks. She would attack the small churches, slay the Purifiers working there, drink their blood, and beco closer to evolving as a result.
Not to ntion…
She shifted her gaze to a broken mirror on the wall. Despite its pitiful state, it still did the job well.
Midnight was able to see herself just fine. She had beco even more beautiful. Her skin was flawless, her lips seed to have beco redder and fuller, her eyes more nacing and, at the sa ti, more mature. And even her breasts seed to have beco just a little bigger.
"The physical changes are evident. Evolution should be pretty close now," she muttered under her breath. A second later, she was interrupted by a ssage.
It was Zaroth.
Midnight's cheeks beca red. "Why is he ssaging ?!" she complained, secretly glad that he did.
Truthfully, she hadn't gone on a killing spree these past few days just in the na of strength. She just found that when she was busy killing, she wasn't thinking about the man and her conflicting emotions.
In the end, it seed that he didn't want a date, but just a et-up to discuss the symbol he had gotten after making the deal with her.
"Okay, this is not a date, just a et-up for a chat, so there is no need to dress fancy!" Midnight told herself as she sneaked out of the church, not attracting attention.

'I told myself this isn't anything serious, so why am I wearing the most fancy dress I have?! Stupid!'
Midnight cursed herself as she went to their agreed place to et up.
She was sure that Zaroth would show up in casual clothes and would be weirded out by her dress.
"Maybe it isn't too late to go back and change into sothing more casual?!" she muttered under her breath, and a second later she froze as her gaze fell upon Zaroth, who was already waiting for her.
He wore a raven-black suit with a white shirt and a green tie matching his eyes. Not only that, but his hair was neatly done, most likely cut today.
Despite this not being a date, he had gone all out on his appearance?
Suddenly, Midnight felt thankful that she had dressed in her most luxurious clothes.
Zaroth noticed that he was being stared at, shifted his gaze, and froze as well once his eyes landed on Midnight.
The two of them spent a mont or two shalessly gazing at each other.
Zaroth was the first to move as he smiled and approached her.
"Hey, long ti no see."
Before she realized it, her lips had curved into an alluring smile. "Nice to et you too."
Seeing the smile that Midnight flashed him, Zaroth took a deep breath, trying to control himself, cursing inwardly, 'I may be in trouble.'

Originally, the et-up was supposed to happen at a café, but since they were dressed too fancy for such a place, they decided to go to a nearby restaurant instead.
'How did this beco a date?!' Zaroth thought as he sat across from Midnight.
He may have seen her before, but in the short amount of ti that the two had been away from one another, she seed to have changed drastically.
It was hard to describe, but it was like she had beco more mature—her eyes, lips, curves. It was almost like she had undergone so kind of evolution. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire
"So, you say that there is sothing that you wanted to discuss about the symbol?" she spoke as she shifted her gaze from the food to Zaroth.
"Yes, actually. I was wondering, can you teach so skills of your own?"
"...?"
Seeing the confused face that Midnight was making, it was clear that he would have to explain everything from the beginning.
"So basically—"
It took about an hour to explain everything.
After Zaroth was done explaining, Midnight brought the glass of wine she had ordered to her lips and took a sip, considering her next words.
With a sigh, she spoke. "So you want to know if it is possible to learn skills that vampires—or more specifically, I—use?" she asked, making sure she had gotten all the info correct.
"Well, we can try if… Luna says that there is a connection between us. I guess there is a chance that you might learn a skill or two… but what's in it for ?"
Zaroth smiled at her question. "Well, you do rember that you owe once, right?" He was referring to the ti he had saved her from the Purifiers.
She smirked at his words. "Okay, I'll teach you so stuff, but it is entirely up to you if you will be able to grasp any of it. We use our skills in a different way from humans."
"That is perfectly fine by ," he responded as he took a sip as well.
A mont later, both of them realized sothing, their conversation was over, and so was the reason for their et-up. But both of them were in a restaurant, basically in the middle of a date.
"About the other matter… have you made up your mind on it?" he asked.
Midnight didn't lift her gaze from the glass of wine as she answered.
"...Not yet. It isn't an easy process, going against one's own nature."
There were a lot of things that Zaroth wanted to say, but none of them felt right in the mont, so in the end, he was only able to reassure. "Well, you can always speak to when you've made up your mind."
And just like that, their ti together ended. The very next day, Zaroth would begin learning skills not designed for humans, but for vampires.
