The System of a Vampire

The crowd had started spamming their abilities, the whole area had been bathed in chaos but Zarra remained at ease while Rodolfo was blocking and deflecting religiously. Draig stared at this stark contrast giving a clear sign at the difference in strength between these two.

He flitted around the people attacking crazily before raising a clawed hand and snatching Rodolfo away silently allowing everyone to focus on Zarra while he ate.

Away from the battlefield Draig ate quickly soon leaving nothing of Rodolfo other than his skills he had assimilated and archived.

'Dark Arts upgraded: level up 70/300'

"It seems the more profound a skill or ability the higher the level cap is" noted Draig for later research

He soon reappeared on the battlefield, Zarra still sat there as if nothing could move him causing Draig to smirk at the foolishness.

Floating higher into the air Draig reformed his body from the mist before poising his claws back as the Emperors Blood took effect, his physical abilities skyrocketed and he slowly began to gain speed along his descent. He only had one goal with this tactic and that was the Death of Zarra, he would then consume his flesh and with it his abilities.

Draig crashed through the air getting within arms reach of Zarra until he noticed his eyes flick over to stare into his, the next thing Draig knew was a gut wrenching pain in his stomach that made him fight to keep his meal down. It was not over though as he found his arm singed severely by a spell cast from the Dark Mage, Draig growled lowly and activated the Emperors blood and his speed increased drastically actually catching Zarra off guard allowing for a devastating strike to land.

Zarra clutched the side of his stomach where blood began seeping through, he gave Draig a dirty look as he looked at the hand in front of the Vampire's mouth.

"I love liver, what about you Dark Mage" asked Draig smiling cruelly

"You think this over leech brat" stated Zarra before casting a spell opening a rift that allowed Jared and Reaper to come and retrieve him.

Draig looked at the rift that was closing and consumed the liver of the Dark Mage, he knew this battle was only just beginning.

"Everyone rest for the evening we will be marching tomorrow onward until we eliminate the Dark mage" ordered Draig as the crowd around him stared in respect

Everyone had heard about Zarra the Black an unreachable existence that would destroy all before him but this person in front of them, the vampire kid had actually managed a mortal wound on someone like that it was unbelievable to those who had witnessed it.

Draig ignored the praise filled looks and returned to Sylvie and Tina.

"Sylvie set up a tent, Tina go and gather those leader from before"

"Yes Lord" came the chorused reply as they both went about their given task

Sylvie had set up a large tent somehow but it was unexpected that there would be something like this in the girl's storage, Draig sat inside and across from him were those former leaders of the factions with Goeki and Zura as the spokespeople.

"You understand that this game of ours has become serious now that he as enlisted the help of the Blood Knight and the Reaper, the likelihood of us having such an opportunity like today is nearly zero" stated Draig causing those assembled to nod

"What do you propose we do" asked Goeki somewhat subdued after seeing Draig injure Zarra

"Simple we will continue to use our numbers but the key to victory is taking out the Reaper first, with that in mind I will hand out these Skill stones for you to pass to your respective people. They contain skills from the rogue class and assassin type classes. Don't worry about the class restriction it will work" explained Draig as he had Sylvie pass out several bags that happened to contain the Skill stones.

The group looked at Draig subserviently, feeling a subconscious form of subjugation at the ease he handled things like this.

Zura contained something odd in the way this youth stared at Draig, it was something obscene crazy almost as the youth received the bag and disappeared.

This had not escaped the eyes of Draig who was gaining his own suspicions about the youth known as Zura.

"What do you think we should do if we are ambushed" asked Goeki nervously

"Simple we will fight" stated Draig simply

"Of course" responded Goeki as he stood and bowed before taking his leave pausing in mid step as he realized what he had done.

'Why did I bow' wondered Goeki as he went to hand out the skill stones

Draig smirked as he watched them leave as an alluring light cast over his eyes.
