Chapter 44: First Strike
Inside the castle, two vampires and one human were sitting around a table, eating food. The human girl was eating her food timidly, while the two beautiful vampires occasionally sent death glares at each order
Then breaking the silence the white-haired vampire looked at the red-haired vampire and spoke:
” I’m second and you’re third, so, I’ve got priority over him. It would be even better if you could stay away from my hubby. ”
” Hmph, he loves me too. I’m going to stay with him forever. ” the red-haired vampire replied, snorting.
The blonde human just listened to their conversation in confusion. She looked at the queen and her mother-in-law-to-be, who were fighting like love rivals.
Sophie was not able to understand why they were fighting, but knowing better, she didn’t ask any questions.
” But what if he couldn’t take any of us with him? ” Eleanor asked, suddenly feeling sad.
” L-Let’s not think about that, for now. I’m sure my hubby will find a way. ” Alice said, feeling melancholic.
Then remembering something, Alice looked at Eleanor and asked:
” Do you know about Sasha? ”
” Yeah, Sasha, his first wife. I wonder what kind of woman she is. I’m feeling a little jealous that I’m not the first. ” Eleanor said.
With a smug expression, Alice replied: ” You’re not even the second. ”
” You! ”
*cough* *cough*
Their quarrel was broken by Sophie’s coughing, both looked at her and saw her coughing out blood.
******
Jayden was facing the vice leader of the shadow group, there was a smirk on his face, as Jayden looked at his indignant expression.
” Don’t sulk too much, Mr vice Leader. Try attacking me again, I’m standing right here. ” Jayden taunted.
Ignoring his taunt, the vice leader looked at him vigilantly. He was afraid of slashing at Jayden again, but he made the same mistake a second time and looked directly into Jayden’s blue eyes.
Jayden snickered and making a gun sign with his hand shouted:
” BANG ”
Two big snakes shot out from behind Jayden, one aiming at the vice leader’s face and the other at his crotch.
He tried to turn and run away, but the speed of the snakes were too fast for him to dodge. And both hits landed, first vice leader felt his balls getting crushed and then one of his eyes getting bitten by the snake.
He fell to the ground holding his crotch and started rolling on the ground while wailing in pain. All assassins present around him looked at him with confusion.
Taking this opportunity, Jayden using Andrea as a katana, started to slash at the stunned assassins. He appeared behind one assassin, then piercing his heart, he instantly disappeared from his place, as more than five attacks landed at his last position.
While using Infernal steps, he made eye contact with many of them, and then using Mind Manipulator, he used them as his puppets.
Without any warning, assassins started to attack each other, not giving any time to react to others. The most terrifying thing was getting stabbed in the back by your own comrade.
Within a couple of minutes, more than a thousand corpses were lying on the ground, while the vice leader rolled on the ground holding his crotch.
*sigh*
Jayden sighed and finally stabbed the vice leader in the head, killing him instantly. After killing all the assassins around him, Jayden turned his gaze to the altar where the ritual was being performed.
Then meeting Shadow’s gaze, Jayden pointed his katana at him, provoking Shadow into a fight.
Shadow was calm, even though so many of his men were killed right in front of him, there was not a single worry in his heart.
He looks at the altar, seeing that more than eighty per cent of the ritual was complete, he stood up and with steady steps walked towards Jayden.
It seemed he was walking slowly, using casual steps, but in one-tenth of a second, he was standing before Jayden. His speed was almost as fast as the infernal step, as Jayden hasn’t fully mastered the Infernal step.
From other’s memories, Jayden discovered that no one have ever heard Shadow speak, and if someone did, they won’t be alive to tell the tale.
He was feeling a strong aura from the shadow, Jayden was paying all his attention to him, Ready for any sudden strike.
” KNEEL ”
Shadow’s lips parted slightly, he muttered just one word, although his voice was not loud, it echoed all around.
Hearing it Jayden felt immense pressure on his body, his knees slightly bent, as he was pushed downwards. But Jayden persevered and was successful to remain on his feet.
Shadow looked surprised, not expecting Jayden to be able to resist. But his expression turned normal within a second and then he said:
” I WILL GIVE YOU A CHOICE, KILL YOURSELF OR DIE BY MY HANDS. ” in a domineering voice, Shadow said to Jayden.
Hearing his words, Jayden felt a sudden urge to kill himself, as if there was nothing he could do to oppose this feeling. He felt depressed and betrayed, and negative emotions swirled inside him.
Then biting his lips, Jayden calmed his emotions down, while a small trickle of blood rolled down from the corner of his lips.
” So you can talk. Yeah, I would pretend to be mute, if I had a voice like that ‘ GO KILL YOURSELF, SHADOW IS A GA*’. ” Jayden said, using the same tone as Shadow.
Even after seeing Jayden act like that, shadow was calm. He gave off a mighty presence, like someone who looks down on everyone.
With a small push of his feet, Shadow lunged toward Jayden with a knife in his hands, which appeared at some point.
*Boooooom*
Jayden too turned Andrea into a knife and then met the attack head-on, a large boom sounded with the collisions of the blades, as both Jayden and Shadow took a few steps back.
‘ Should I use Time God’s ability? ‘ Jayden asked Anna.
” No, not until it’s your last resort. If you use that power you might get the attention of some troublesome beings, and believe me, you won’t want to attract them to yourself. Not with your meagre strength. ” Anna replied in a serious tone.
Then she resumed ” Last time you used it, I didn’t stop you as the enemy was just too strong for you, but you should avoid using it as much as you can. ”
While listening to her, Jayden stabilized his body and readied himself for the next exchange of blows.
Both rushed towards each other at extremely high speed and launched their blades, aiming for each other’s vitals.
Jayden pushed and blocked the blade with his left hand by holding Shadow’s wrist, then launched his knife at Shadow’s head.
Shadow’s body moved strangely, and Jayden was only able to pierce the afterimage of his head, Shadow, using his knee hit Jayden’s stomach, while Jayden elbowed his chest.
Both were thrown a few meters away, Jayden took a deep breath, when he felt danger from behind him. With a slash of his knife, he blocks four kunai Shadow have thrown at Jayden at a strange angle.
*Bhhoooooommm*
Before Jayden could turn shadow stuck his back with a punch, a big burnt mark appeared on Jayden’s back as he was thrown more than fifty metres away.
Shadow Jumped into the air, thrusting a kick towards Jayden, who was lying on the ground, trying to get on his feet. But before Shadow’s feet could touch Jayden, he disappeared from his place and using yang punch, hit Shadow’s left shoulder.
This time Shadow was the one who was thrown back more than a hundred metre. But he landed on his feet and looked at Jayden, his eyes still covered with a cloth.
” YOU’RE GOOD. THEN FACE THIS. ”
Saying that Shadow slowly removed the cloth from his eyes, revealing two emerald-like eyes, with five dots in both of them.
” This is getting interesting, let’s see whose skills are better. ” Jayden said, while his blue pupils glowed, one containing a purple clock-shaped figure, while the other had a red plus sign in it.
