Chapter 312 Blood Element
"Tell me?! Was it the contract?!" Alice looked up at me, knowing from my scream that I had figured it out.
"U-umm, Alice." I did not know what to say because the system was never wrong, and I was afraid that telling the truth would have some sort of repercussion.
"Yes?" Alice eagerly looked at me with eyes that resembled a puppy. Because I was a sucker for cute things, her new height had unintentionally given her an unfair charisma advantage. n(.0VelbIn
"Are you aware that you have had appearance-altering magic cast on you?" I braced myself for Alice to scream or become enraged at me, but nothing happened. Alice remained silent as if she knew exactly what was wrong.
"THAT FUCKING BASTARD ALLUCARD!!! THAT STUPID MAGIC HE APPLIED ON ME BACK THEN WAS JUST TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE HIS IDEAL WOMAN!! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!"
'Jeez, what kind of workplace harassment has been going on all this time?' There was no doubt that some sort of fetish play was taking place, but I had no intention to find out. If anything, it's good that Alice wasn't too attached to this place.
"Elysia! We better come back here so I can beat Alucard's ASS! That bastard needs to pay!" Alice abruptly turned to face me, declaring our eventual return to the dungeon.
"It's okay, I planned to come back anyway. I intend to come here once I am strong enough to take on everyone." I had already planned to return because I could not pass up some experience, but I still needed to adjust to my new vampire powers and figure out how strong I was.
'Perhaps I can test it out when we make our escape.' I had a feeling we would run into some vampires on our way out, so it will be a good test to see if I can handle them.
"Good, now let's get out of here."
'She's quick to get over it. I expected her to be more upset about her height.' Alice surprisingly calmed down quickly after discovering she was now a midget. Though perhaps her mind is simply less focused on her current predicament and more on how she would take her revenge.
'I wonder how she will act once we are out of here.' I expected that once we were out of here, the reality of her short stature would set in and her tsundere side would emerge.
Alice rose from the ground and removed her cloak, which had become too large for her. Fortunately, her clothes underneath shrank along with her body, which only made her even cuter than she was before.
As we got closer to our exit, we slowed down and peered out the hole. My and Alice's heads appeared side by side, searching for vampires but finding none in sight.
"Clear." As I emerged from the hole, I looked around to see if there were any windows. If we can get outside, flying to the teleportation circle will make our lives easier.
"Don't. Alucard likes to fly high in the sky when he is out so we should make it to the front hall first." Alice knew what I was looking for and quickly yanked on my hand to get me to stop.
"Damn it, well, since you know this place lead the way." It was a shame that we couldn't fly through the open skies, but Alucard is the last person I want to meet right now.
"Follow me then." Alice let go of my hand and floated towards the exit of the grand hall. However, before we even got close to the door, it swung open and a bunch of hooded vampires flooded in.
"Shit!" Alice quickly flew back behind my back, frantically looking around. By the look on her face, she didn't understand how they were found out.
"Alice, what is the meaning of this?" One of the hooded vampires spoke up while walking towards us. I slightly shifted my body, ready to make a move at any moment. I also realised that I had access to the new blood element. I could feel the blood circulation of every being in the room as if I could take control of it.
'Interesting.' Some gruesome ideas appeared in my head, but I wanted to see where this was going before attacking.
"What? I don't know what you want me to say." Alice didn't admit anything, which was fair. The vampires in this dungeon seemed extremely devout, so telling them their world is a lie will just aggravate them.
"That massive burst of energy and this strange person who has the same presence as Alucard, explain?" The hooded vampire took another step closer, making him only a couple of metres away.
"Elysia, you handle it." Alice let out a sigh as if she didn't want to bother to explain and decided to let me do whatever I wanted.
"Hehe~ with pleasure." Looking at the vampire in front of me, I sensed the blood within them and tried to take control of it. Once I got a grasp of it, I tried to pull the blood out of their bodies.
Suddenly, the vampire's body began to spasm as if something inside was trying to escape it.
"ARGHHH!!" A loud screech came from them and shortly after, their skin tore open. Blood spewed out towards me and into my hand, forming a small blood ball.
"HAHA! This is incredible! Who's next!"
