Chapter 5 A Wolf Doesn't Fear The Sheep

Hours pass without the Sect Master noticing. She is so focused on discovering Klaus' secrets that she does all kinds of tests and experiments on him.

The fairy complains the whole time and asks the Sect Master to give Klaus a rest, but that woman only sees him as a tool, not a person.

But he's not really in any pain; his body is in such a bad state that he cannot feel pain. And although being a guinea pig for the Sect Master is much more fun than being alone on earth, not being able to stick his fangs into that woman's neck and drink her blood is frustrating.

Another thing that bothers Klaus is not understanding the words of the Sect Master and fairy, whom he sees as a mysterious and beautiful winged lady.

Learning a new language has never been difficult for him because, thanks to his powers, Klaus can retain such general information about a culture by drinking the blood of that region's natives. Well, it was like that on earth, so he assumes it's the same in this new world.

He's looking forward to learning that new language and things about the new world, but the problem is that he can't suck blood in his current state unless someone cuts their wrist and brings it into his mouth willingly.

But Klaus isn't in a hurry; he and his family are true immortals, so time is what they have the most. Not being in that cave alone anymore is wonderful, so he just enjoys the Sect Master's beautiful excited smile while she still can smile.

After countless hours, for the tenth time, knocks repeatedly sound from behind the large double doors.

"Sect Master... please..." Elder Abner's voice sounds from the other side of the door. "They keep sending messages; we have to send some response, or we're going to be in serious trouble."

"Arrrghhh... what the hell?!" The Sect Master complains like a spoiled child. "I'm doing my life's work, and you bother me with shitty politics?!?"

Abner fears that his actions will be seen as disrespectful and the Sect Master will punish him, but he fears the wrath of some persons more. "Sect Master, you understand better than anyone how the hierarchy works... just give them some answers, please!"

The Sect Master really understands how her people's politics and hierarchy work, which makes her sure they will come after Klaus. That's why she's trying so hard to find a way to keep his power to herself.

She plans to use the blood connection to control him, but despite feeling that connection inside her body, she doesn't know how to use it yet or even what Klaus' powers are about.

But all her actions have a purpose, and it was so with the fairy, so maybe now is the time to use that.

The Sect Master makes Klaus look at her and smile. "I'll be right back, don't miss me to death, hehehe..."

"..." Klaus has no idea what's going on, but the annoying woman finally gives him a break.

She walks to the door and opens it, to Abner's relief, so he bows respectfully. "I'm sorry to disturb your great work-"

"Shut up." The Sect Master walks out the door without looking back, leaving only an order for Abner. "Lock him in a cage next to the fairy's."

Abner does not question the Sect Master's orders and bows again before entering the chamber. Behind him are Eli and Zadok, Abner's two most trusted disciples in the Bronze Skull Sect.

As he is old, he prefers to be constantly surrounded by young disciples as assistants within the Sect, and as this is an exceptional case, only the more reliable disciples are suitable.

Zadok is the most ambitious young disciple of all and probably the most talented as well, but he is loyal to the Sect and knows how to follow orders.

Eli, on the other hand, doesn't have much ambition or any leadership traits, but he is also very talented and hardworking, which makes him the best assistant.

"Help me with this; the Sect Master's orders are to put the creature in a cage next to the fairy." Abner speaks to his assistants while looking at Klaus with a curious expression.

"On the fairy's side??" Eli can't help but wonder why that. "Is the Sect Master punishing her???"

*Ban*

Abner slightly punches Eli on the head. "Don't make stupid questions, idiot! Just prepare the cage."

"Damn..." The blow didn't really hurt Eli, but he still mutters as he walks towards the fairy's cage.

The young necromancer couldn't help but give the fairy specific peeks. It's impossible for men like him not to want to do many things, bad things to a woman as beautiful as her, especially when they only see her as a 'creature' and not an equal.

The fairy is already used to receiving looks like that, but it always makes her nauseous; anyway, she watches the necromancers' every move with curious eyes, especially for everything they do to Klaus.

While Eli struggles to assemble the cage without stopping to drool over the fairy, Zadok is more interested in Klaus; in fact, the necromancer is quite disappointed in the supposedly powerful undead servant.

"I can't believe we spent so many resources to summon this garbage..." Zadok comments as he walks up to Klaus and grabs him by the long white hair before looking him in the face.

Abner should warn Zadok not to mess with the Sect Master's new toy, but he is also pretty disappointed with that result, so he joins the young disciple in mocking Klaus.

"I wonder what went wrong..." Abner strokes his chin as he looks at Klaus with different expressions.

Both Abner and Zadok agree that Klaus doesn't look strong at all and is not even undead though he doesn't appear to be dead either. Another thought they have in common is that even in such a sick state, Klaus still maintains an incredibly handsome face, the kind that makes any man jealous.

"Shit! It's just a stupid old dog!!" Zadok feels envy rise in his heart as he continues to stare at Klaus' face, then throws him to the floor hard.

*Thud*

Klaus falls to the floor like a bag of bones, he doesn't have even the tiniest part of his original power, and he can't do anything now. But he makes a point of recording that guy's face in his mind so that as soon as he regains some strength, he makes the necromancer suffer much before dying.

"Be careful; we should not break him any more than he's already broken." Abner sighs while also feeling very envious of Klaus' handsome face. He can't help but wonder how someone can look so old and so young at the same time.

[Different world, same shit...] Klaus thinks as he recognizes those envious looks; they are the same as he always gets from men. [You deserve nothing more than to be prey... lucky for you, the hunter is here.]

"What?" Zadok can't hear Klaus's thoughts, but he sees the disdain in the vampire's eyes, which sends a chill down his spine.

No matter how weak and helpless Klaus seems right now, he still manages to make Zadok feel small and insignificant. That clearly leaves the necromancer very upset, and he starts kicking the vampire.

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

"Why are you looking at me like that, you dirty animal?!?!" The necromancer yells at Klaus as he beats him up.

To Klaus, that's nothing; he has had his body completely destroyed to ashes hundreds of times, so he just lets the necromancer vent his frustrations for now before he can't do anything else.

However, that causes a lot of suffering to another person, the fairy. The poor woman cannot bear to see Klaus being beaten and screams at Zadok in protest. "Stop it!! You're the only animal here; he didn't do anything to you!!!"

Klaus doesn't understand the words of the necromancer or the fairy, but he can feel their intent. Until then, everything seemed usual for him, but the interference of the winged lady to help him was surprising. He has literally met billions of people, and other than his family, no one has ever tried to help him; people normally run in fear of him.

[Maybe because she's not human, she thinks we're on the same side??] He tries to think of a reason why the fairy would want to help him because he's not used to good and generous feelings, not toward him.

"Shut up, you stupid bitch!!" The necromancer points his finger at the fairy in a threatening manner.

Those threats mean nothing to the fairy, but they awaken a powerful rage in Klaus. No one has ever tried to help him like that, so a part of him feels compelled to defend the fairy, at least until he is sure of her intentions.

At that moment, Klaus feels that being out of strength could be a problem, so he stops mocking Zadok to prevent the fairy from getting into trouble.

"That's enough, Zadok." Abner has to put an end to that before things get out of hand. "Let's get him in the cage before the Sect Master returns."

"Yes, Elder Abner." Zadok calms down when he hears the name of the Sect Master. He still wants to punish Klaus and the Fairy, but now doesn't seem like a good time to do that, so he drags the vampire toward the cage Eli is setting up.

*Thud*

The young necromancer throws the vampire into the cage while his colleague is finishing building Its walls. Klaus falls and rolls again until he stops next to the fairy; their cages are literally next to each other.

Klaus' eyes are attracted by the mysterious winged lady, but then his nose, which hasn't felt anything for a long time, catches a wonderful scent, without a doubt the best fragrance he's ever felt in his whole immortal life.

Even his head turns in that direction of its own and then he sees it... a few drops of blood running down the floor from the fairy's body.

Of course, blood is Klaus' favorite thing, but there's something different about that blood; he doesn't know what it is, but he is sure of one thing. [I need her blood!!]
