Currently, Jill and I are back in her quarters, and in my hand is a brown-looking map made with synthetic leather.
"I think I have a grasp of how this planet works… Besides, you don't have to worry about me getting lost." I say with a smile, taking a final look at the map before tossing it on the bed.
"Jake, you don't have to go! Let me sort it out myself!" Jill says as she appears in front of me, stopping me from leaving the room. Right now, I can see the worry etched on her face, and she's currently sweating even though vampires don't really sweat. Her breathing is also getting rough as if she wants to cry.
Seeing her like this, a feeling of guilt envelopes me. Jill must have a reason for acting like this because she rarely ever gets tensed even in a dangerous situation.
Putting my hands on her shoulders, I give her a light smile before pulling her into my embrace.
"Jill, I understand that you're worried about me. But it seems like you don't know how strong I am." I say, caressing her back while whispering into her ears.
"I know that you are strong, Jake. But Zamira is a battle maniac and she is disgusted by men a lot. Remember that it's been more than twenty-four hours since we arrived in the vampire world, you only have my gravity ability with you. Do you think the gravity ability and your vampire aura are enough to go against her if she attacks you on sight?
I understand that despite being a noble vampire, you have a scary aura. However, Zamira is a warlock, the highest evolution stage of vampires! She really is dangerous." Jill says again with worry, this time red tears can be seen dripping from her eyes as she realizes that I won't listen to any of her words.
Although what Jill said is true… No matter how skilled I am or how many techniques I know, going against a warlock vampire in my current evolution stage is like walking into a death trap with my own two legs. However, this is about me… I'm not just any regular vampire, I'm Dracula!
Even if things were to go wrong, I would simply use my Ki. Moreover, with the tons of techniques I have, nothing can actually go wrong.
Suddenly, Jill starts saying something…
"Zamira's sword was made from the crystals of two demi-god rank beasts. They are the two demi-god rank beasts she killed in the past. Do you still want to go against her? She won't even hear you out before attacking you." Jill says with worry.
Hearing her words, a few of them pique my interest, making me raise my eyebrows.
"Wait, did you just say that she made a sword from two demi-god beasts' crystals? I thought beast crystals can't be merged."
"Yes, you are correct, but at the same time, you are also wrong. There's an ancient forger who can merge beast crystals. For instance, Zamira's sword can emit ice and fire while the stats also incredibly boosts her strength. However, while merging beast crystals is possible, there are many restrictions behind it." Jill explains.
Hearing her explanation, my interest is piqued further.
"Mmm, I see… so who is this forger?"
"He can only be found on the dwarf planet…"
"So, the person in question is a dwarf?" I ask, looking slightly surprised.
"Yes, he is. After all, they were the first race to create beast weapons and the merging of beast crystals. However, they have always been underestimated and they haven't been talked about for some reason. Not that the dwarves are weak or anything, but it feels like they just want to live a low life." Jill explains.
"So back to our unfinished conversation, I'll go after Zamira. No worries, I'll try to hide my presence as much as possible, and only show up if she's in trouble." I say, pulling Jill closer.
"Jake, bu—" Before she can complete her words, I crash my lips against her lips, giving her a deep kiss.
After kissing for a while, Jill separates her lips from mine, looking at me with an unsettled expression.
"I believe you'll be okay, Jake. But it won't be good going empty-handed. Let's go to my armory, I have quite a few weapons that might be useful to you." Jill says, looking at me with a weary expression.
***********************************
Awe!
That's the only feeling that's happening to me right now. The scene in front of me has left me in awe because many things just seem weird.
Firstly, Stella is not looking like her normal self. She still looks the same but her horns are much bigger, and she's also taller than usual. (About my height right now.)
One of the amazing things right now is her long-bladed tail, sticking out from behind.
To top it all off, the most fascinating thing is Carter who is currently sitting down on the floor in the lotus position, with his two hands clasped together. He is not the one that fascinates me, but rather it is the huge statue behind him with many hands.
Stella who is standing opposite him looks very tired and has many bruises on her body. This is the first time I am seeing her like this. She seems quite furious for some reason and doesn't even know about my presence.
"I think both of them are sparring." Jill suddenly speaks up.
I look at her for a moment before looking back at the duo. Right in front of me is a competition of speed between the two of them as Stella keeps trying to get closer to Carter, but she keeps getting swatted away by the numerous hands.
"Wow, such an amazing ability~" I say in surprise. Although I can see every move of Carter's hand, it's still impressive nevertheless. Either ways, If i had been the one in Stella's position, I would have gotten to him easily.
"I would like to stop them~" I say, as my smile grows wider.
