"*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*… Ugghh… *Cough*…"
"Are you alright, Sister Amara?"
Amara, who was on the ground on all her fours coughing continuously, looked up and saw her Sisters looking at her with pitying eyes.
"*Cough*… I-I am f-fine…" She nodded and answered in a hoarse voice.
"Don't worry, you will be back to normal in 10 minutes."
"*Cough* D-Did you receive the same treatment?" Amara questioned and her sister nodded with a defeated face.
She then looked around and all her sisters had the same expressions.
Just like her, all the other girls suffered from the same fate.
Amara then turned around and her eyes fell on Azriel who was sitting on top of the Flying Carpet.
"Couldn't you have treated us more gently?" She questioned with a scowl on her face.
"It is not my fault that you guys are so weak. Tsk Tsk, to think you cannot even take a little ride like this, are you sure you guys are Vampires?" Azriel, however, just shrugged.
"L-Little r-ride…" Amara and the other girls stuttered when they heard what he said.
'Little ride my ass!'
That's what they wanted to scream.
Then, all the vampire girls recalled how Azriel walked into the prostitution house and wanted them to come with him.
Of course, since they already knew about it, they agreed without thinking too much.
And then…
And then the nightmare begins.
40 girls were divided into 5 groups of 8 women each, then, Azriel would create a red rope out of nowhere and tie all the girls together as if they were a sack of potatoes.
Then, he would rise into the air and would drag all of them with him, in the air, at high speed!
That was outright traumatic.
"Try moving like that you will realize what you call a little ride is!" Amara couldn't control herself and shot back, her voice was still a little hoarse.
"I won't need to do something like that, I am strong."
Azriel shrugged again.
"…" Amara turned silent.
This boy was really hateful.
She doesn't like her at all.
"Alright, Aunt Amara, calm down." Ithania then walked towards Amara and the other 39 women and smiled.
"It's hard to calm down when you travel like that." A woman complained.
Ithania just smiled,
"Oh C'mon, Aunt Silvia, I know you are strong enough to face something like that."
The woman then calmed down and turned her head away.
She couldn't go against her niece; she has been weak against her from the start.
After 5 minutes of rest, Amara finally recovered, she then glanced at Ithania, then she glanced at around 100 vampires behind Ithania before looking back at Ithania again.
"So, why did you call me, Ithania?" She questioned.
"I want your help," Ithania answered
"Our help? Of course, we will be happy to, tell us, what do you want us to do?" Amara questioned.
"I want you to manage all these vampires before all of us return to our base," Ithania answered as she pointed at the vampires behind her.
"Manage them?"
"Yes."
"Alright,"
Amara nodded and agreed to help, the other women following her nodded as well.
"That's good." Ithania nodded with a smile.
"However,"
Then, Ithania's tone turned serious,
"What would you do if all of them attacked you at the same time?" She questioned.
"Why would they do that?" Amara frowned.
"Can you trust someone who you have just met?" Ithania smiled.
"…"
Amara turned silent.
"What if I tell you that there is a way that you can get stronger within an hour, with no side effects at all." Ithania's smile widened.
"What's the catch?" Amara questioned.
This deal was too good to be true.
There has to be a catch.
"There is a catch indeed."
Ithania nodded.
"The process is called, 'Purification'.
It will cleanse out all the impurities inside your body and will raise your strength and your future potential.
However,
The process is extremely agonizing.
So agonizing that you would wish you were de-"
"It doesn't matter, do it." Before Ithania could even complete her sentence, Amara nodded and readied her with a determined look on her face.
"Huh? Don't you want to test it out so that you can have a vague idea of how painful it is?" Ithania frowned.
"Ithania, you do not realize how much I and my sisters crave strength, if there is a way to gain strength quickly, then no matter how agonizing it is, we will do it."
Amara explained and 12 Vampires wearing black-coloured skin-tight clothes behind her nodded.
These 12 were the vampires who fought against Ithania.
After their defeat, their hunger for power grew even more.
After all, they were defeated by their niece, they wouldn't accept that so easily.
"We Thirteen are willing to go through this 'purification' of yours." Amara and the 12 vampires stepped forward.
Seeing the look in their eyes, a smile appeared on Ithania's face, then, a bucket appeared in her hands and the blood inside it rose into the air.
A delicious smell affected all the vampires present here, Ithania however, was already used to it, she knew that though this blood may feel delicious, drinking more than 7 drops will cause your body to explode into pieces.
And this was diluted blood.
Ithania then shook her head and focused on what she was doing.
The blood that was flying in the air divided itself into 91 drops, and then, these drops moved towards the 13 vampires.
"Drink," Ithania instructed.
The women opened their mouths and drank all the blood and, a few seconds later,
"AAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
…
"…"
1 hour later, all the vampires in the Area turned silent and they glanced at the broken tree then at Amara who was standing in front of it.
"I-I can't believe we improved so much…" one of the 13 vampires who went through purification muttered as she clenched her fist.
"The pain was worth it." Another vampire muttered.
"Indeed, heck I am even willing to go through it again if I have an improvement like this."
"I-Indeed…"
Another vampire smiled awkwardly.
"The results were better than I expected," Amara muttered as she glanced at her fist. She then glanced at the other 12 and started observing.
Just like her, their skins have turned a tone paler and their eyes had turned red as well.
These women were already quite beautiful since they worked in a Prostitution house where they eat enough to maintain themselves, but now, their beauty has upped a level as well.
Powerful and Beautiful,
They were like actual Vampires now.
"Looks like you guys are satisfied."
Suddenly, the 13 vampires heard a voice, they turned around and saw Ithania walking toward them with a smile.
Suddenly, Amara bowed her head,
"Ithania Sky, I thank you for what you have done for us."
"You do not have to do something like this, Aunt Amara. You were the ones who were willing to take the risk, it was obvious you would get a reward. Please raise your head."
Amara raised her head and smiled, "Thank you again."
"I guess now you can manage all those vampires?" Ithania questioned.
Amara's smile widened and she answered,
"If they attack us, we will kill them."
"Good." Ithania nodded in approval.
The vampires who were standing behind them shivered in fear.
What have they done?
Why are they being targeted like that?
However, not all vampires were shivering.
Some were thinking, thinking about that 'Purification' they have witnessed, something that completely changed these women right in front of their eyes.
They wanted it as well.
They wanted to get strong as well.
"B-Big Sister" Suddenly, the girl who questioned Azriel and Ithania called out.
While Azriel was away, Ithania and the little girl talked a lot, just like all the Slave vampires, the girl didn't have any name, therefore, Ithania gave one to her.
Hera Sky.
Yes, she gave the girl her last name.
"What is it Hera?"
"B-Big Sister, c-can I go through Purification as well?"
A smile appeared on Ithania's face as she heard her question.
Of course, she didn't forget to note the vampires whose eyes flinched when Hera mentioned Purification.
These were the vampires who wanted to go through Purification even after seeing that hellish pain.
These were the brave vampires.
The type of vampires Ithania and Azriel wanted the most right now.
"Don't worry, Hera, not only you, all of you vampires will be given the chance to go through Purification, but not right now.
We have more important things to do right now."
Well, that was not it, the only reason Ithania didn't allow them to go through purification was that she didn't trust them enough yet.
She still needs to day or two to find out how and what kind of people they were.
She had bad experiences before.
It wouldn't matter as long as she is here, however, she won't be there with them when they walk towards the base.
If there are any trouble-making vampires here, they wouldn't miss a chance to cause trouble on the journey.
Therefore, Ithania decided to take things slowly.
Then, a pout appeared on her face, she then glanced at Azriel and she snorted inwardly,
'You get to have all the fun, while I would need to babysit these vampires…
So unfair.'
