Chapter 8: Eclivel vs Bleia

After licking the blood from her face, the girl in the red dress turned around, once again revealing her delicate and alluring face to the two trembling Apprentices. Samuel, unable to withstand such a powerful visual impact, fainted, his arms and legs collapsing onto the floor in random directions.The terrifying and fierce appearance of 'Bleia' was completely hidden as she shifted to the figure of the beautiful girl with the lovely face. However, her blood-red eyes and the two small yet sharp teeth protruding from her lips hinted at the dreadful being concealed behind the enchanting beauty.

Even though nearly half of her body was splattered with blood, she somehow managed to appear as delicate and charming as a flower. It was such an intense visual impact that even Leon, who glimpsed it through the crack in his door, couldn't control himself and felt captivated by her overwhelming beauty.

"Bleia! I will rape her and then impregnate her, in addition I will tie her with a rope and bring her to my room, so I can rape her every night, filling the vampire womb that Mary has. Yes I will defile you so many times that my sperm will dirty the entire room."

Soon after, he looked down and noticed that his own cock was hard as a vibrating diamond, ready to stare at Mary's vampy pussy.

"Slap~~" With a strong slap to his own face, Leon managed to regain control and broke free from the sexual spell.

Leon smiled, thinking to himself, "What a terrifying monster..."

A vampire in its early form had no fear of injury because, as long as they had blood, they could gain unlimited vitality. This was an immortal species that only existed in ancient books in this Land of Mages. When they were hunted by the Mages, their kind was nearly driven to extinction. Even if there were some survivors, they did not dare to reveal their true identity.

That was why Leon was so shocked to see Bleia transform into a Vampire. After his initial shock over Bleia's current racial state, Leon also felt a shiver as he pondered how powerful Mages must have been to hunt these near-extinct vampires.

What kind of magical experience had Bleia undergone? How had an ordinary human girl become this ancient, bloodthirsty species that reveled in killing? Were the strange noises he heard at night caused by Bleia's "mutation"?

Just as the girl in the red dress, Bleia, moved menacingly toward the still-trembling Brandon, the torches on both sides of the dark corridor suddenly flared to life, and a mystical figure emerged from the shadows of the wall and spoke.

"Hold your steps, my child. Today's killing was more than enough for you to complete the final step of your evolution! From now on, you must try your best to restrain your thirst for fresh blood and sharpen your mind. Return to the path of the pursuit of knowledge!"

The man speaking had a hunched back, and his face was full of wrinkles and loose skin. A long, flowing black cloak covered his body, and a tall, slightly wavering pointed hat sat on his head. He held a staff made of twisted roots and gnarled branches, topped with a large green crystal. Rays of light emanated from the crystal, creating layers of amber color in the air.

This old man was the only Mage in this Tower, the great Mage, Eclivel.

As for his Mage rank, with Leon's current knowledge and experience, he had no idea.

Although he knew that today's events would alert the master of the Mage Tower, which was why Leon had deactivated his elemental sight beforehand, seeing Mage Eclivel suddenly appear in the corridor still made the powerful magical energy radiating from his body cause Leon's eyes to burn and water.

Leon quickly but gently closed the door as quietly as possible, hiding silently in his room. He did not dare to peek at what was happening outside. If he witnessed any secret that Mage Eclivel did not want anyone to know, his pitiful life would end swiftly.

All the true Mages Leon knew were cruel and vicious men who did not hesitate to kill and conducted all kinds of dangerous and dark magical experiments on humans and living creatures as if it were nothing. No matter how careful he was, there was no way to hide from Mage Eclivel's spiritual senses.

However, by acting this way, he was signaling that he was not trying to spy and was uninvolved in the Mage's affairs. At the very least, if he left before anything significant happened, he would be safe.

....

Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, a fierce confrontation was underway.

Bleia had once again transformed into a fierce and terrifying Vampire. Her blood-red eyes gleamed like those of a wild animal, and her nails began to grow wildly, eventually turning into sharp claws with gleaming tips.

Clearly, Vampire Bleia had a beastly nature.

"Jump!"

Her body was pressed against the wall. Like a lizard, she climbed the vertical surface at an incredibly fast speed.

"Rushing footsteps~~"

She started running toward the master of the Tower, Mage Eclivel.

Running along the wall at high speed, as she approached the Mage, Bleia leaped from the wall with her powerful legs, catapulting her slender body toward the Mage with blazing speed.

"Buzz~~"

While her body was in midair, Bleia stretched her claws forward, reaching out to grasp the Mage's heart.

Faced with this aggressive Vampire in its early form, all Mage Eclivel did was smile a sinister smile. There was not the slightest sign of panic or concern on his face.

He waved the staff in his hand, and a small tornado appeared in Bleia's path.

"Zosh~~~"

"Sucking~~"

"Even if it's just a homunculus, the bloodthirsty nature has truly surpassed the host's consciousness… what a pity…"

Bleia's body weight was quite light after being modified, so her attacks were focused on speed and agility. Unfortunately, in the eyes of a Mage, her innate abilities, although beyond those of ordinary humans, were not enough to cause him the slightest concern. Thus, when Bleia hit the tornado, she was immediately caught firmly and couldn't break free.

"Urrraaa~~"

A second later, as the suction force of the tornado grew stronger, Bleia let out a cry of shock while her body spun around, making her ridiculously dizzy.

Under Mage Eclivel's control, the tornado twisted, and Bleia was flung from it, crashing fiercely into a nearby stone wall.

"Bang~~"

Even though it didn't seem like Eclivel put much effort into it, the impact was enough to take Bleia out of the fight. Leon could even hear the sound of bones breaking through the wooden door.

"Crack~~"

"Break~~"

"Broken~~"

"Crac..."

"A newborn vampire who has lost her mind… Why would I keep her? Go to hell!"

Mage Eclivel smiled horribly, then raised his thin, bony right arm, unleashing a pale white flame, filled with the aura of death, that hovered above his palm. He then turned his palm and pressed it to the forehead of the struggling, groaning girl.

Perhaps because she felt her death approaching, this vampire, known for having extraordinary senses when it came to detecting danger, finally stopped struggling like an animal. Suddenly, Bleia let out a piercing scream, moving her body back desperately, a deep fear in her eyes as she looked at the flame. Those same eyes had changed from a vivid red to a deep green.

"Eh?" Master Eclivel stopped pressing his arm down. The deadly fireball still burned silently, but the sound of an ordinary fire couldn't be heard. The reflection of the dense, pale white flame made Bleia's pale face appear even whiter, as if a thick layer of powder had been applied to her skin.

"Oh… So, the fear of death can make you regain consciousness? This is a phenomenon I have never seen before… I suppose there is value in researching this." Mage Eclivel spoke to himself in a low voice. He waved his palm, extinguishing the flame. After that, he snapped his fingers, creating dozens of small vortices of air around Bleia's neck, limbs, and all her joints, chaining her firmly.

Then he turned and looked at Theodore's corpse.

Because of Bleia's excessive bloodlust, all the blood in the body had been drained. Thus, Theodore's corpse took on a grim appearance. What had been a healthy-looking figure just minutes before now appeared shriveled and withered, making his corpse look like that of a mummy buried underground for decades.

"The original Leader Apprentice is dead… I will replace him! Make sure to properly manage all of my apprentices." With a frown on his face, Mage Eclivel simply pointed a finger at Brandon, who could barely support his weight against the stone walls, and made his request in an indifferent tone.

After he finished speaking, the torches on the corridor walls flickered suddenly. When they returned to their original glow, the Master Mage and Bleia had disappeared from the hallway.

After witnessing the bloody feast and escaping with his life, Brandon was unexpectedly promoted to Leader Apprentice. His body was still shaking violently, and his pants were wet, but his face was full of a mix of shock and excitement.

Suddenly, he thought of something. With staggering steps, he leaped toward Theodore's corpse and began frantically searching through the dead man's pockets.

Since he had become the new Leader Apprentice, the Magic Talisman representing the Leader Apprentice's status now belonged to him. He needed to find it as quickly as possible.

Waist pocket, inner pocket, neck protector, leather boot…

He conducted a thorough search through every place that could hide things on Theodore's body. The corpse, which he previously looked at with fear and disgust, had now become his treasure chest, filling him with immense delight.

Finally, he found the Magic Talisman on the ghastly, broken neck of the corpse. Holding it high, he laughed loudly and joyfully, completely unaware of how insane his behavior appeared to others.

Samuel, who had fainted on the ground, moved his body, struggling for a long time to stand up.

As he looked at Brandon, he was filled with murderous intent due to the jealousy burning inside him.

In fact, he had woken up much earlier, but, unable to predict what might happen, he remained lying on the ground, pretending to still be unconscious.

Who would have thought that his fear would actually make him lose the chance to become the next Leader Apprentice, a highly prestigious status for him. At that moment, he wished he could tear the flesh from Brandon's bones!

"Why didn't that vampire kill him?" Samuel roared furiously in his mind.

But on the surface, he masked the feeling of loss and fury that was so prevalent in his mind. As he got up from the ground, a flattering smile appeared on his face.

"Leader Apprentice Brandon, quickly get up. The ground is dirty. Let me clean up the mess for you!"

Samuel's interruption immediately brought Brandon back to his senses.

Brandon stood up quickly and tidied up his appearance. As he looked at the Magic Talisman in his hands, an arrogant smile spread across his face.

"I'll leave everything here to you! Something unfortunate happened to the previous Leader Apprentice. I need to inform everyone of this urgent news… Hmm. I just remembered that it's time to feed the giant alligators outside…" The last part of the sentence was said in a cruel and indifferent voice.

"Understood! I'll clean up this mess immediately!" Samuel couldn't help but bow his head even lower.

After savoring the first taste of his newfound power, Brandon couldn't hold back and burst into another laugh. Then he quickly walked down the corridor and out of sight.

He had looted everything from Theodore's body, but there might still be some good things in Theodore's room. So, after leaving the mess for Samuel, he ran impatiently toward the end of the hallway.

It took a few minutes for the sound of his malicious laughter to fade away.
