Chapter 314 Surprises

Chapter 314 Surprises

"Are we safe?" Alice laid flat on the floor, hoping that we were out of danger.

"Yes, this hallway connects my world to the dungeon, so it should be safe." Unless Alucard can force those doors open, then it is safe to say we escaped.

"I see..." With Alice only being a couple-minute walk away from my world, I could see on her face that reality was finally sinking in. She actually left her home to go somewhere unknown with a stranger.

"Don't worry, you will be seen as a... god of some sort." It also occurred to me that Alice is seen as the god from which we originated, so I wondered if I should introduce Alice to my grandpa as herself or under a different name.

"Really?' Alice turned to me with a look of disbelief, which made me realise that sealed Alice didn't bother to explain that I'm her descendant.

'Urgh fuck, this is going to be a headache.' There was no telling how she would react, especially if I gave Alice the journal. I didn't want her to resent herself or think I had some kind of agenda to bring our almighty vampire of origin back.

'I'll at least tell her that she is technically my ancestor.' It was going to be unavoidable, so better catch her up to speed about where I was.

"Yes, technically, you are my ancestor and the place we will be going is the home of all your descendants. Now don't go thinking this is a good thing, they are basically a cult with crazy views who killed my parents because they didn't want to follow their doctrine." I wasn't going to paint a pretty picture, especially with me planning to kill everyone. This meant I had to make sure Alice was okay with me killing basically all of her great grandkids.

"What the fuck? How did my future self end up with a following like that?" Now here was the big question, should I disclose what Alice did by giving her the journal or just dance around the issue?

"I-it's a long story, but know that my family are disgusting beings that I want to kill, although that's not because of you. Over time, my family became like this, but I don't exactly know why." In the end, I decided to dance around the issue, wanting to show her what they are like before revealing everything.

"Oh okay, sooo are we killing them when we get there or what?" Alice sat up from the ground and began to stretch, seemingly getting ready for round 2 of chaos.

"No, no not yet. Currently, I am pretending to be on their side until I get strong enough to take over the entire place and massacre them, hence why I said it will take a year before we meet my friends." Using Alice's complete trust in me, I hoped that she would stick with me through this plan.

"Hmm okay... It isn't like they are really connected to me since this is all my future self's doing, so I will trust you that they deserve to be killed." Thankfully, Alice came to a reasonable conclusion, which came as a relief.

"Cool, thank you Alice. It's a very complicated situation and there are more things to tell you, but for now, I think it's better for you to see what kind of people they are for yourself. And now that I think about it my grandfather is alot like Alucard, so I hope you can see why it is I'm trying to do away with them." It was the perfect comparison and, although Alcurad was probably more extreme, at least Alice could understand the kind of person I was dealing with.

"H-how should I act? Is it best I hide my wings?" Questions ran through my mind about what would be the ideal scenario as we got closer to the exit. I didn't want to give up my wings, but by openly showing I am a vampire I might be getting us into trouble.

"You can keep the wings. I will simply say you are a familiar of mine. You being a vampire works out just fine. Since my entire race is half vampire, it will be easier for you to blend in." I was relieved to hear that I didn't have to do much, but I still felt this anxiety that it wouldn't be as simple.

"You ready?" We were only a few steps away from exiting the dungeon and I didn't know if I was mentally ready. I will be officially entering a world that I have never seen before and experiencing things that even my future self may never have done.

I was curious what her life was like for her to tell me to live a better life. Elysia seemed to know something, but I wasn't going to press for answers yet. We were hardly in a position to have a long conversation.

"Hopefully." Even if I wasn't fully prepared, it wasn't like I had a choice. If I go back to the dungeon now, Alucard will execute me for betrayal.

Elysia took the first step out and I floated behind her, using Elysia's shoulder as a shield.

'Even though I don't like being small, it sure is a convenient size to hide behind things.' I still couldn't accept my new height, but it was coming in handy more than it was an annoyance. Still, if I weren't floating, it would be like I was a child hiding behind Elysia for protection... Wait, does it already look like that even though I am floating?

I suddenly became self-conscious, but my attention was instantly grabbed by the sudden flaming ball in front of us.

'What the hell?' I wanted to yell, but Elysia' wasn't phased by it so I stayed quiet.

The flames dispersed and suddenly a really handsome kitsune in a red suit appeared before us.

"Hello, Grandfather Teivel." Elysia performed a small curtsey, greeting this man. Wait, did she just say grandfather?

'THIS IS HER GRANDFATHER!! HOW IS HE THIS HOT!?' I screamed in my mind at this revelation, as this guy didn't look a day over 30!

"Welcome back, You've come back much earlier than expected... However, you have certainly gotten much stronger and even made a new friend I see." Teivel's piercing gaze scanned over me and my heart rate increased. I could feel the murder in his eyes, which were almost identical to Alucard's.

"Yes, I have had quite the improvement and gained myself a familiar. Her name is Novella." Elysia introduced me and turned her head to me, wanting me to say something. However, my voice got caught in my throat.

'Oh no, I'm too nervous to speak.'n(.0velBIn
