*Silent ensues*

"I'll ask one more time. Who did this to my master?" I ask, my hands still folded inside my pockets.

The vampires look at me with confusion etched on their faces, and their swords tightly gripped in their hands.

"Since y'all won't answer, I guess I have no choice then..." I say, raising my right hand.

"Jake!" A familiar voice suddenly stops me. Turning my head, I see Alphonso with a determined look on his face, the look of a hero that doesn't want to give up.

"I started it, and I'll end it myself. I have to take care of these vermin myself!" Alphonso asserts, making strange drawings in the air with his one hand.

Seeing his actions, I shake my head. He is going against his teachings. I can't accept that though.

Pointing my index finger at the drawing, I shoot a burst of aura into it, breaking it, thus, causing it to turn into dust.

"W-Why?"

"Master... have you forgotten your teachings? You taught us to always admit defeat or run away if we meet a stronger enemy or a situation that we are unable to handle. But, it seems like you are going against your teachings, master. You are even willing to harm yourself to use 'that." I say with a neutral expression, and I notice that Alphonso starts gritting his teeth in frustration.

Facing the vampires back, I notice that even though they seem to be under the influence of the pills, they seem to have sort of self-awareness left in them as they are able to tell that a dangerous person is right in front of them.

Picking up the sword of one of the dead vampires, I look at it before taking a stance.

A legendary-tier sword. Not bad...

"If you stay in place, I'll give you swift death and free you from your pains. However, if you decide to fight against me despite knowing that you're going to lose, I'll make y'all die the most trashiest way ever," I say with a small grin.

Stopping in front of Alphonso's, I see him looking at the ground in embarrassment and shame. But well... I understand his feelings more than he thinks.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed, master. You really tried. After all, it's not like you went against just ordinary vampires, they are fucking god slayers!" I say, gently grabbing Alphonso's hand to help him walk to the edge of the window.

"B-But you made them surrender..." Alphonso stutters, still shocked.

Hearing his words, I smile a little.

"It's generally known that people who use borrowed powers are usually in immense pain one way or the other after using the power for too long. So, offering them painless death is the only thing I could do since I sensed they were barely able to move their bodies again. Regardless, it would have been a pain in the ass if I fought against them," I explain.

Now, we are already at the edge of the window, ready to jump into the atmosphere.

"Wait!"

Hearing a familiar voice, I turn my head, and see Old man Duke walking towards us in a fast pace.

"Are you guys going to leave me here?" He asks wiping off the sweats on his face.

"Trust me old man, nothing is going to harm you till I come back. Besides, you can take the secret route to Jill's chamber. That's the safest place for now," I answer Old man Duke.

"Okay~ Okay~" Old man Duke utters, turning around like a puppet as he moves towards the throne. Getting there, he shifts the throne with his sheer strength, revealing the cover of a hidden bunker. Without wasting time, he gets inside.

Once he's gone, I tightly hold Alphonso on my back and leap into the air, heading towards the house of the Royal healer.
