21 The second Baron

Draig had regained his energy not long after Sylvie and Tina had left, using this time while they were gone he planned to go and carry out some tasks. Becoming mist he drifted out of the cellar and into the sky. Capturing a whole view of his particular area noticing a few small factions around his area but that was quickly forgotten when he saw the catastrophe that was befalling Sylvie and the other Guilder's

Zarra looked at the groundwhere this was happening with a blank look, this time he took no pleasure in watching such a one sided massacre.

"Are you sure this is the right path to be choosing" asked Rodolfo uncertainly, he was even questioning whether or not to keep this up.

"It's fine, this is just another form trial for them. They will be better for it" said Zarra but his thoughts were only on one particular brat

'This will allow him further growth, I want to see just how far he can go' thought Zarra as he watched a mist form on the battlefield in front of the girl who had been following Draig.

Meanwhile Draig had appeared in front of Sylvie baring his claws knocking the blow to the side as he looked to the side and noticed that Tina had lost an arm. Sylvie wasn't in a better condition holding the stump that used to be her leg, Draig turned back to the thing that had tried to slaughter his group.

"Oh a Bishop" said the cold faced woman before him

"Silence you wench" commanded Draig gaining a look of respect from the surrounding Guilder's

The woman narrowed her eyes as she charged at Draig but that was a terrible idea from the start Male Vampires were known for their sturdy bodies while Females were known for their extraordinary magic capabilities. A bit of information that had come across while training with Zarra.

The woman received a fierce kick to her chest shocking her as the look on her face became something reminiscent of someone who had seen a ghost.

Seeing that she had no advantage over Draig physically despite possessing the higher level she went to her specialty. Waving her hand the blood on the field began to react an odd way congealing into an armor around her body becoming an actual metal.

Draig wondered why she had yet to use her magic as it was the natural choice for female vampires with their larger mana pools.

The woman wasted no time and charged forward violently causing Draig to actually get launched this time.

Zarra watching this was also a bit curious and turned his head towards Rodolfo.

"Don't look at me, the woman tried to attack me the same way. She isn't one for words and from what she did say I could gather she was an overly righteous feminist" stated Rodolfo, the woman was annoying for him to head up against.

Down on the ground though Draig was being put through the ringer, with the metal armor surrounding the woman her physical capabilities easily surpassed his. Metal had a fatal weakness though and he was more than willing to exploit it if he could gain the time he needed to cast it.

The woman proceeded to slam Draig into the ground repeatedly until he went limp, sensing no movement from her victim she turned and looked towards the sky at Rodolfo and Zarra as if confused.

Draig opened one of his eyes as lightning crackled around his index and middle finger before being channeled into the armor wearing woman, now that he had a clear look it seemed to him that it was similar to the looks of an iron maiden.

Draig didn't let up as he saw the spasms happening through out the body due to the jerking of the armor, the longer it lasted the more violent the tremors became until the woman began screaming bloody murder but Draig no longer focused his eyes on the woman instead making a pointed look at Zarra and Rodolfo.

The meaning was clear, Draig would come for them. Soon he returned his gaze to the silent jerking set of armor watching as smoke began to drift off of it. Releasing the magic for the spell Draig lied in his current position in pain, he really wasn't in the mood to move only having raised his arm earlier out of necessity. Sylvie eventually came to his side using her sword as a crutch.

Turning his head slightly he saw that the bleeding stump had been frozen over and Tina came along shortly after her arm replaced with an ice prosthetic.

"Sylvie gather everyone after you have gotten some rest, we're going to kill someone" said Draig looking up towards the sky.

'Mortals are so conniving, taking children and forcing them to kill each other in the name of training, hiring criminals to assist in the slaughter. I have had enough of these guys and their petty schemes but I can't do it alone' thought Draig staring at that cold gaze looking at him across the distance, at least what he believed to be a cold gaze.

Draig was lost in his own little world as he thought of his life since he got the system, it hadn't been easy. He had always had to deal with bias and seclusion and now that he had wanted to be secluded he was surrounded. He loved the fact he had become stronger and he enjoyed the idea of his new abilities but he was unable to make humanity pay if all of them died here in this damn training.
