Chapter 696: I Miss You 2
“If I were to describe it in one word… Infernal.”
Victor chuckled in amusement, with a melody so beautiful that it made Anna squirm internally, although she didn’t show it externally. She’d gotten pretty good at controlling her urges.
‘It wasn’t a lie when he said I would subconsciously desire him.’ Perhaps, that was one of the biggest cons of becoming a Noble Vampire.
‘Why is my son so damn perfect? Fuck.’
“Hilda doesn’t take it easy,” Victor commented.
“Yeah, but thanks to her, I know myself better now.” Anna flashed a big smile.
“Oh? Tell me more.”
“Victor, my son… What you have given me is a blessing! I have never felt so strong, so full of energy, and so beautiful as I do now!” Anna looked like an excited child who had been given a lovely present.
Victor smiled in satisfaction when he saw that she was speaking honestly.
‘Of course, she would be. She wouldn’t be my mother if she didn’t speak honestly.’
“I’m glad you like it.” Victor nodded in satisfaction.
“Mm!” She nodded several times in satisfaction: “I’m doing things that only I saw in movies! It is immensely gratifying! It’s a pity that I could only enjoy it now…” She commented a little dejectedly at the end.
“That’s normal. It takes a while to get used to controlling your desires. Only when you are able to control yourself do you realize what a blessing this is.”
“That is true.” She laughed gently, returning to her earlier excited state.
“Speaking of desires, tell me honestly, how are you feeling?”
Anna looked into Victor’s violet eyes for a long moment. Seeing that he wasn’t going to back down, she sighed and decided to be honest:
“To be honest, even now, I want to jump on top of you and ride you until I’m lost in lust while I drink your blood to my satisfaction.” Her eyes glowed a predatory blood-red. She bit her lip in desire, but soon the intensity in her eyes subsided, and she turned her face away:
“But at the same time, I think it’s very wrong, and I don’t want to do that. It would be a betrayal of myself and my husband; I don’t want to be someone driven by their desires.”
“Mm.” Victor nodded gently, “It’s not wrong to be driven by desire, Mother.”
“… Huh? But you said…”
“I know what I said, Mother… Haah, why do you always take things to extremes?” Victor sighed.
“What do you mean?”
“Balance, Mother, Balance.”
“Balance?”
“Correct. You must not become someone who only acts on desire. If you do, eventually, you will lose yourself if you go too far. Restraint is important. But at the same time, you shouldn’t hold back too much, or you will get so frustrated that you can’t hold back any longer.”
Seeing that she still didn’t understand, Victor decided to elaborate:
“Take me as an example.”
“I spent 700 years in Hell. All I did was train, Rule, train, and recruit Demons in my spare time.”
“Sometimes Roxanne would pull me out of training and comfort me, but I still didn’t stop.”
“I kept training, but what happened in the end?”
“You focused so much on one thing that you overdid it and got really frustrated.”
“Correct.”
“Because of that, you had to ‘let off steam’. You couldn’t take it anymore, all that longing, wanting, worrying, all of that bottled up for 700 years… My god, Vic, it must have been hell to hold all that back.”
“Correct, it was even worse of a hell than you think.”
“What do you mean?”
Victor raised his hand, and a pure sphere of Negative Energy appeared in his hand, and next to that sphere was a sphere of pitch-black Miasma. It was like the very light around the Miasma was being absorbed by it like a black hole.
“The Energy I use now incites the user’s impulsive desires. It is volatile and dangerous. Now, I feel everything more intensely, even more intensely than before. Take the desires of a Noble Vampire that are already intense, and increase it by a factor of 500.”
Anna opened her eyes wide. Just being a Noble Vampire, she could barely control herself properly. Imagining it even worse was very difficult.
“How can you control yourself…?”
“Discipline, willpower, love for my loved ones, and pride in my own existence.” He spoke solemnly as he closed his hand, making the spheres disappear.
“I am Victor, and I am the Ruler of my own actions. I, who determine my own path, I, who act by my will, and my will alone.”
“That is my pride.”
“My Beloved Mother, if I lost myself in my desire, I would become a monster far worse than Diablo or any Demon.”
“… This is amazing, my son… You are amazing.”
Victor just smiled gently, “I know, but it’s nice to hear it from your mouth.”
“Jerk.” Anna snorted.
The two laughed gently in a much more friendly atmosphere than before. The ‘ice’ that the two had been feeling from not seeing each other for a long time was melted by this interaction.
“Water, which is harmless to almost all Beings, if drunk in excess, can cause many problems.”
“Everything in life needs Balance.”
“If you want to do something, do it. Just don’t overdo it.”
“Even if that means wanting to ride you to doom?”
Victor raised an eyebrow in amusement, the phrase came out as a joke, but Victor clearly understood that behind the joke, there was a very serious question:
“Just make sure it is what you truly want and not something your blood is craving.”
“…” Anna opened her eyes wide: “W-What?! Are you serious!? B-But this is w-wrong!”
Victor rolled his eyes: “Mother, please, I spent the last 700 years in Hell. I’ve experienced horrors straight out of Lovecraft’s books.”
‘Although it was Lily who did it.’
“Mentally speaking, I am over 2400 years old, not counting the combat memories I took from the other Demons I consumed.”
“Mentally, I might be older than even Vlad himself.”
“For me now, there are few moral barriers that I have not crossed. From the point of view of Humans, my actions can be seen as monstrous. Supernatural Beings call me a genocidal tyrant! The Demons call me the Demon King, sometimes even the coming of the Anti-Christ himself.”
“Incest is the least of my problems right now.”
“Are you really saying that!?” She asked, embarrassed, confused, and even disbelieving.
Victor chuckled, “You seem to be getting something wrong, Mother.”
“W-What?”
“It is not you who would be committing incest but me because I am your ‘Father’.”
“… huh?”
“Scientifically speaking, the moment you became a Vampire, your entire existence was destroyed and rebuilt into a new Being, a new Being created from my blood.”
“If you took my blood and the blood of all the girls I’ve turned into a Vampire and performed a relation test, you would see that they all have my blood, that is, my direct DNA. And if they have my DNA, I am the Father of them all.”
“It is because of this that I am called the Progenitor. I am the Beginning of Everything.”
“B-But, if you follow that logic, all of them…”
Victor’s smile of amusement grew:
“Yes, Mother, I just had an orgy with basically all of my daughters.”
“…What–Eh? Huh?”
“Hahahaha~” Victor laughed even harder at Anna’s face of disbelief. It was just so much fun to see her face now. He could clearly see Anna’s worldview shattering even more.
“You see how worrying about ‘blood relation’ for Noble Vampires is meaningless? For Vampires, Blood is Power. The closer to the Progenitor’s Bloodline one is, the more they will be strong and have very high potential.”
“Y-Yeah, b-but, t-this…”
Victor laughed even harder.
Veins bulged on Anna’s head: “Don’t laugh! This is not funny!”
This made Victor laugh even louder.
Despite the noise the two were making, Kaguya slept like a princess.
“Hmm~, I can’t take it anymore, Master… But I want more~” She mumbled with a smile on her sleepy face.
Kaguya was having a good dream.
The door suddenly opened, making Anna and Victor stop what they were doing and look at the door. Soon, they saw Lily together with Helena:
“Master, you are finally back.”
“Yeah, did you hear my call?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm? What happened, my Generals? Why so serious?”
“Lilith is awake. She is resting in her chambers in the castle and wants to see you.”
“Oh…” When Victor returned to Hell to perform his duties, Lilith suddenly fell into profound exhaustion. She was fine physically, but her mind needed rest. She had spent a lot of time fighting what had been controlling her.
And even with the resistance of a Demon Goddess, she was still exhausted, and that exhaustion hit her when she realized she was no longer in danger.
“Vic… will you be back soon? We didn’t even get to talk for a long time…” Anna asked with worried eyes.
“Don’t worry, Mother. I won’t be long. I’ll be back before the girls wake up.” Victor placed Kaguya on the couch and stood up.
He gently stroked Kaguya’s head for a few seconds and placed a kiss on her cheek.
“Mm… Master…”
Victor smiled gently.
Soon he turned his gaze to Anna: “Take care of them all, Mother.”
“And don’t think about nonsense. Take your time to sort out your feelings and desires. Explore your new self. After all, you’ve finished training now.”
“I will support whatever decision you make.”
“Don’t spoil me too much, Vic. I don’t want to make the same mistake as before.”
Victor snorted, “Bullshit. You are the most important woman in my life. I will spoil you a lot, but I will pull your ear if you act like before.”
“Previously, due to the Race Change, you acted like a mindless animal.”
“You are not an animal that acts on desire, Mother. You are an amazing, smart, and sincere woman, and that’s what I want you always to be.”
“Vic…” Anna looked at him gently. Her heart melted whenever she heard his kind words.
“About training… In the not-too-distant future, I want you to train with Scathach.”
That sentence brought her back from her stupor: “M-More training?” She shivered visibly.
“Of course! I don’t want my mother to be helpless. You must be as strong as a low-level God, at least.”
“Aren’t you putting too much expectation on me? Until recently, I didn’t even know what fighting was.”
“I believe in you. After all, you are my mother. You cannot be less talented than me.”
“Ughh.” She pouted. She knew there was no backing down now that he said it.
Victor laughed gently and kissed her cheek as he hugged her. He completely ignored her shudder.
“I missed you, Mother.”
Her shivering stopped, and she relaxed, then returned the hug.
“Me too, my son.”
The hug lasted a few minutes; then Victor released Anna.
“I’ll be back in less than a few hours, I promise. I want to spend time with everyone. Especially my cat. Speaking of which, where is my goddamn cat?”
“Who knows? Zack is a celebrity at the mansion. Everywhere he goes, the Maids pet him and feed him.”
“Little bastard who forgot his Master,” Victor grumbled.
“I’ll be back soon, Mother.”
“Take care of yourself.”
“I will.”
Victor walked towards the exit as dark Energy flooded his body. Soon he was back in his black suit, his hair grew to his waist, and black Miasma covered it, making it flutter around, defying gravity.
“Come, My Generals.”
“Yes!”
