Kael Cor: A Vampire's Awakening

The metal spikes holding my shield in place fell away, as I the boss dragged and pushed his humongous body towards me. Using a speed that you would never expect from such a huge body, he opened his jaws so wide it could fit a grown elephant in it. I tried to escape from him, but by this point he was focused enough to use his telekinesis to hold me in place and prevent me from moving. But I'll be damned if I would just sit still and let such an abomination turn me into a chew toy.

I use minor teleportation, this time successfully separating the teleportation skill from the shadow walk skill. As I jumped up, swallowing the golden spherical shield that had held me like an egg, I appeared underneath him and took a few steps forward. I turned and raised my hands up, using [Push] to increase his speed as I slammed his rubbery face into his metal ceiling. But that was not the end as I also used [Pull] to drag him back to the ground, smashing his succulent? Body into the ground.

I was in for a rather nasty surprise as he bounced on the ground like some sort of beach ball and used his telekinesis to fly towards me. And at the same time, a cluster of metallic spikes were approaching from behind me. I shook my head at his stupidity, but at the same time couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him, he's going to he in so much pain that he might even cry for his mommy, that is if he ever had one.

I teleported again, and this time to the side and barely just a meter away. I stood there watching everything with my heightened senses, so it was as if the world was moving in slow motion. He flew right into the approaching spikes, and the slid into his rubbery, oily fat filled body with such ease it was like stabbing a dumpling with a chopstick. There was this wet squelching sound that I found really revolting, but following that was a sound of air escaping, as if something was deflating.

At first blood didn't escape from his body, rather it was oil and obscene amount of yellow white fat. This was beyond disgusting to me, but it seems as if this was not the end. He started wiggling and moaning in a weird way, and that was when I realized that he was actually just talking.

"Yiyiyiy, I need meat! I need food! Arghhhhh food! Please! Please! Oh meat, meeeaaat! Help md please stranger, I just need a pound of flesh from your body."

"Err no thanks, why don't you eat yourself you sick bastard!" I said to him as I stepped back.

From within the depths of his eyes I could see he was completely lost in the feeling of his hunger and his need for food. It was as if I was looking at gluttony itself, and it washorrible sight. All of a sudden he heaved to the side and took a huge bite out of his own shoulder, chewing maniacally and swallowing as he took another bite and another bite. He was obviously in a lot of pain, but it didn't look like he had any intention of stopping as he kept on chewing with such fervor you would think he was saving his life.

"I've seen a lot of weird shit master Kael, but this would probably rank right at the very top. Fuck this guy is insane." I heard Soren say from beside me.

I was a little surprised, I had completely forgotten that he was around, where was he hiding when the fight was going on. Oh well I guess that's not important right now, and that was because the scene in front of us was getting more gory and stomach churning with every moment that passed. How could a person or anything at all eat himself, and he felt every pain yet he was not stopping, he just kept on taking huge chunks of his body, chewing all the way down to the bone.

With how much mass he had, he couldn't move his body well enough to eat himself, so he was using his telekinesis to pull his flesh and break of his bones, placing them all in his mouth. I was downright horrified and shaken by the sight in front of me, never in my life and in all of my experiences did I think that I would be facing something like this. I could do nothing but turn away as weaved a delayed rune for [Break] on the floor.

"Oh my heart, sweet, sweet delicious heart. Ahmmmm! ARGHHHHHH!, so much pain! But so hungry ahmmmm! So good! Painful, hunger! Need more…need meat, hea…..rt me….at."

I turned back and looked at him, whatever the fuck his name was, he's most pathetic creature I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. To die with your own heart in your mouth, because you ate it, ate yourself to death. I really didn't want to spend another second here, because right now I felt as if I just had close up look of what the sin of gluttony looks like or is. This was beyond horrifying and I would very much like to erase this day and this bloody demon out of my memory.

Soren and I walked out and took the stairs back. We brought along every other person that was in the building, clearing it out of those who would have been on that demon's menu, and those unfortunate enough to be responsible for preparing it. And then it was just with a simple command I turned the entire building into rubble. This would forever be a bad memory for the demonic vampires who live in this city, but at the very least it would also serve asreminder. Though a reminder of what, I'm not really sure, I guess maybe it would be warning to not eat too much. Gluttony is a sin after all.

I had just finished conquering the city when the purist vampires made their way off the bridge and highway, being led by their completely roughed up leader. I guess Draculas aren't all that powerful, especially if you just became one recently. I barred entry into the city and forced them to camp outside it, however they didn't stay there for long as they packed up and moved on, leaving with hatred etched all over their faces. But I guess that's to be expected, I fought a demon goddess, I won, and then I healed said demon goddess and left her to tear them apart. And seeing as they were loosing about eighty percent of their forces, I would say they had their asses kicked, and quite massively too. As I watched them leave, I heard Malek's voice.

"They're definitely going to be plotting something your Majesty. You have to keep alert seeing as you're going to be going off on your own from here on out."

"I know Malek, but we're past the point of no return now. I gave them a chance, and they left my people to die due to s stupid sense of superiority, there's no way in hell I'm forgiving that."

"I know your Majesty, but none the less just be safe out there. There are worse monsters out there than the demons you just faced. Also I'll be working on synthesizing a cure for them. If they're willing to take it, I believe I can separate the demonic strain from the vampire DNA that's causing the mutation. However in doing so they won't go back to being normal vampires, I believe they would become a new breed, a sub species if you would."

"that's good Malek, you can work on that. It could also be a very good deterrent should we encounter people that would be rather difficult to handle."

With that said I cut the connection to Malek and dove into a shit ton or arrangements and duty allocations. This city would serve as a base for Ethernalia Leonis in the future, so reconstruction should commence soon enough, with Malek and Nefisat at the helm as usual. But there was a power vacuum that had to be filled, and since demons were a rather violent race it had to someone or a group of people really strong enough to handle themselves or any danger that comes. So I left Hera and her team in charge, with the twin demoness who were formerly the bosses of the third zone.

The twins knew the city best, and Hera would be in chargeof making sure the place was safe for our people, which also includes the demonic vampires that now fell under our jurisdiction after I conquered the city. The idea of zones were done away with, and even though it was met with quite a lot of animosity, there was nothing more they could do. They didn't have the power to challenge me, or my army, and at this point they realized that what we had to offer was a million times better than what they previously had.

With all that out of the way, I had spent another three days just to make sure everything was in order and running smoothly before I left. In that time I went back to see Kali and had an in depth discussion about Transylvania, the dangers it presented, and where I could find her divinity. While the entire conversation was very unsettling to say the least, she was quite forthcoming with information, though I'm not sure how much of it I could trust.

But it was information that I needed none the less. So after I got what I wanted, I left with a crest, just so we could communicate if the need arises, and also so that she could recognize the citizens of Ethernalia Leonis when they arrived and let them have safe passage through the bridge. As for any other person not of Ethernalia Leonis that came through, it was up to her to do whatever the fuck she wanted, though the idea of a toll seems to suit her quite well.

With all that out of the way Soren and I made our preparations to leave. The map of Transylvania as a whole is shaped like a full moon, with a few outlying islands in the north, east and west. The entrance we used was the south, and it's the only way in and out of Transylvania.

This place was a part of the real world, rather than being a pocket dimension like the realm of the dragon kings. However ancient vampire technology or spell, whichever one of those is responsible, had created a barrier over the whole land which would have been the size of six very large states back on earth. You could say it was the size of a country. Anyway the closest place we had to look for clues into finding the capital city, was a forest to north east. Based on the distance it was a hard days ride and flight from here, but doing that would drain either me or Soren of our stamina, so we had to take our time to get there and have a few rest stops on the way. Factoring that into my calculations, means that we should be there by midnight or at the crack of dawn, depending on when we leave.

The forest is supposed to be home to an underground vampire city. Said city was built around the vampires most important research facility. Tech was made there, rather all things biological were studied and made. But the city was now a dead zone and infested with what the locals had called Ebili. In the old tongue that means devil or evil, so I take it that means it would be very, very bad. But I've never shied away from a challenge, not to mention I just saw someone cannibalize himself to death. At this point, I doubt there's much that could actually shake me.

"Alright Soren, let's ride."

*ROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRE!*
