บท 11: Blood Servant System
"Such potion. That is a treasure you can discard on the likes of me."
"Quiet. I will do as I wish."
Elysia, her voice weak and filled with a mix of fear and resignation, nodded silently, her trust misplaced in the clutches of the malevolent vampire. Vecna approached her, his movements fluid and predatory, as he carefully uncorked the vial.
With deliberate precision, he brought the vial to Elysia's lips, allowing her to drink the elixir. The potent liquid coursed through her veins, accelerating her healing while also intensifying the essence of her blood.
A surge of vitality flowed through her body, mingled with a sense of entrapment as she became further ensnared in Vecna's web.
The bruises that marred her once radiant skin began to fade, as if the very essence of the potion embraced her with its healing properties
Vecna watched with rapt fascination as the elixir worked its magic, a totally different process took place when an NPC took a Healing Potion, its effects were strengthened by two folds or more.
He knew, however, that healing her physical wounds was only part of the battle. The torment Elysia endured left deeper scars within her soul, wounds that couldn't be easily mended by a simple potion.
Still, he was interested in acquiring the submission of this woman for multiple reasons, but mostly centered on his sustenance. Thus he made sure to act accordingly, knowing that his assistance and manipulation would ensure her continued dependence upon him.
Satisfied with the results, Vecna's gaze lingered upon Elysia, a mix of hunger and possessiveness burning in his eyes. He knew he had found a valuable asset, a source of sustenance that could satiate his dark cravings while also serving other needs.
His hunger meter was also drifting slower now that he was in the presence of prey.
Grasping the chains binding her to the vicinity of the bed, like some beast, if not worse than a beast. He ripped them apart, shocking the woman that dropped to the floor now that she was freed from the cold iron constraints.
"Why? Aren't you working for the Humans? Why help me? Just to humiliate me later? To send me to your Rulers and die a fate worse than a Sex Slave?"
"I don't work for anyone, Elysia. I'm my own person. I'll be dead before another being gets to control my fate.'
Elysia turned to look at Vecna from the ground, noticing him extending his hand to assist her in getting up. Watching him, she could notice that blood was dripping from his lips as he was biting down, to suppress his Primal Instincts.
His eyes watched her like any other person, not just some object of pleasure like the humans that captured her have given.
'He is hurting worse than me… I'm sure he went to this place to find someone and drink their blood.'
'Even now he is willing to help me, while self-harming to stay awake.'
"Why don't you force yourself on me? Drink my blood? You're far stronger than me and can easily ravage me."
"And? Become a beast in the process? No thanks. There is something I still possess."
"..."
"Common sense. I would rather have consent before doing such a despicable move. Afterall, there is a possible risk of turning you into a Vampire."
"One of me is enough for this World."
With a predatory grace, Vecna moved closer to Elysia, his fangs elongating, yearning for the taste of her life essence, but suppressing it. His voice, a seductive whisper laced with dark promises, slithered into her ears.
"Consent? A vampire asking for consent. Such absurdity." Elysia couldn't help herself but stare dumbfounded at Vecna, grasping some handsome features from the pronounced Vampiric traits.
"Is it strange?" asked Vecna, forcing a smile on his face.
"Indeed. What monster would think about such things? Just get going and stab your fangs into my neck and be done. For rescuing me, I will offer you my Token."
Seeing that the quest was moving on the standard clear, Vecna shook his head, stopping the woman in her tracks.
"Didn't you say you'll do anything for me?"
"..."
"Submit to me, Elysia," he murmured, his voice dripping with an intoxicating mix of dominance and desire. "Offer yourself willingly, and your sacrifice shall sustain me. I will offer you protection from those dirty humans, kill anyone trying to harm you."
"You want revenge. I can give you that sweet revenge. But first you need to submit to me."
Elysia, her breath caught in her throat, understood the dire choice before her, all born from her despair and desire for revenge.
"You're not a normal vampire. Maybe a Royalty?" asked Elysia, thinking about the choice that would mark her future, constantly watching out for Vecna's reactions.
"I'm a God." responded Vecna, keeping his calm, and exuding endless Charm.
"... Sure… I guess… You don't seem to joke around." said the young woman thinking Vecna was bullshitting, but when glancing at Vecna's crimson eyes there was a certain allure to him, that he wasn't spilling lies.
How could a God roam around Middle Earth? She knew about the existence of the Gods from the Tome's she read as a child before all Hell broke loose for her, and how they presided over Middle Earth from Asgard.
"Argh. This is hard. Why am I so cursed? Fine, fine. I'll do it since I don't see a way out for myself."
In a moment of desperation, she extended her arm toward Vecna, offering her flesh to quell the vampire's insatiable hunger. She felt the cold touch of his fingertips against her skin, a shiver coursing through her body as she prepared for the inevitable.
"Is this enough from me?" asked Elysia with a fearful tone, her expression telling that she wasn't sure about her pact with the Devil.
"More than enough." called Vecna who leaned in, his lips parting to reveal his razor-sharp fangs.
He hovered over Elysia's arm, his gaze locked onto her with a predatory hunger that sent a chill down her spine. Then, without hesitation, he sank his fangs into her tender flesh, puncturing her skin with a mixture of pain and ecstasy.
[Skill 'Blood Sucking' has activated automatically]
--Moan--
Elysia gasped, a mixture of pleasure and pain intertwining as Vecna drew from her the crimson elixir of life. The sensation was unlike anything she had ever experienced before—a bittersweet dance between agony and euphoria. Waves of darkness threatened to engulf her, even as a part of her clung to the sliver of hope that this vile union might bring her salvation.
As Vecna drank deeply from her arm, a newfound strength surged through his body, invigorating him with each pulse of Elysia's essence. Her blood, a heady cocktail of despair and resilience, fueled his power, enhancing his predatory instincts and dark allure.
[The skill 'Blood Sucking' has activated its effect.]
[Intelligence has risen by 10]
For what seemed like an eternity, the room was filled with the sounds of Elysia's stifled moans and Vecna's satisfied growls. The bond between them deepened, a macabre connection forged through the exchange of life force. As Vecna reluctantly pulled away, his lips stained crimson, a sinister satisfaction gleamed in his eyes.
Elysia, weakened and vulnerable, watched Vecna with a mixture of fear and awe. She was both a victim and a willing participant in this unholy exchange, her fate now further intertwined with the seemingly malevolent vampire.
The bite mark on her arm throbbed, a constant reminder of the darkness that enveloped her.
In that chamber of shadows, Vecna reveled in the potency of his newly acquired nourishment, his hunger temporarily sated. Elysia, now bound by blood and circumstance, could only wonder what twisted fate awaited her in the clutches of the insidious vampire.
[You have completed the quest 'Crossroads with the Elven Woman(S)']
[Elysia has submitted to you and will become one of your Blood Servants.]
[Blood Servant System has been unlocked]
[Ding!]
[A big achievement has been achieved. The Fallen Elven Princess has submitted to your will.]
[Charm has risen by 200]
Elysia couldn't help but look at Vecna whose appearance began changing, from the still decent-looking man with monstrous features to a man of a beauty that made her heart palpitate.
His beastly muscles returned to a pleasing aesthetic, with Vecna's natural lean body blending perfectly with his 'Adventurers' attire.
Checking the notifications, and clearing them, he also peaked into the Hunger Meter which at least looked to be satisfied.
[Hunger Meter: 100/100]
Returning to his humanoid appearance, Vecna smiled in a gentle manner at the Elven woman, still holding into her unblemished arm.
Noticing some blood dripping from the wound he caused, he leaned down and licked the punctured wound he made on the tender flesh of the beauty, before taking care of it with a kiss without a sign of being ashamed by his acts.
Elysia blushed, not knowing how to react around this mysterious being.
"It only hurt at the beginning, but if done carefully, it isn't an excruciating punishment. Could it be?"
"Yes?"
"Have you enjoyed yourself?"
"... Is that what you ask the person you've taken for their innocence?"
"Interesting. You don't show signs of Anemia, and can still ask impertinent questions."
"Is it my fault?" asked Elysia, lowering her head after locking eyes with Vecna, gazing for a short yet extensive moment at his face as he gave her a devilish smile.
"No, but you're not an Angel either. You've let out some indecent noise that could alert those guards watching over you."
"... This is all your fault!"
Elysia was experiencing a mix of feelings for the first time in her life, first was embarrassment of letting someone of the opposite sex do those indecent acts, but also fearful that the guards could bust the door open and take her down again.
She trembled when her thoughts settled on the worst-case scenario, only to calm down the moment Vecna caressed her face as she locked eyes again with the Vampire.
"I will make sure that you don't regret your decision."
"Following me will be one of the many events that will bring pride into your heart."
"I don't regret anything. If I have to walk forward with a monster… I. For my revenge will do so."
Vecna heard her remark, and kept silent. That wasn't the type of remark he should look down and judge the poor woman who might have experienced the same level of pain as he did.
"Dear Elysia, from now on call me Vecna or Master."
"Monster is a term I wouldn't wish to label myself. It will only make you awkward explaining yourself in public when you might call me "Monster"."
The way he started by calling her "Dear" made her heart throb again, but to appear unfazed against this dangerous Vampire that led her life, she took note of his remark, and agreed.
"If this is what you wish. I understand. Vecna."
"Ahh, it seems you already know my name? How?"
"Haven't I told you? I'm a God."
"... Sure."
"Really."
"Then if you are a God, can you kill all those nasty Guards and the one who brought me from the Underworld Auction?"
"Not in my current state. However, in the future I promise you I'll kill those humans for you."
"That's not something a God would say. They wouldn't even battle an eye to squash those vermin."
"What can I say? I'm a Fallen God."
Having a detached talk with Elysia that made it easier for the woman to adapt to her new circumstances, a considerable amount of time passed since he forced his way inside the room, proving that Vampires could invite themselves without anyone agreeing.
In that calm chat, Vecna's calm expression suddenly crumbled right in front of Elysia, spooking the poor woman. His vampiric senses detected the presence of guards lingering outside the door, their footsteps echoing through the corridor.
{There's commotion on the upper floor. That slut finally decided to open her eyes and make another mess.}
{Check that Elf Whore. It seems the work we did in the morning didn't do its job.}
{Is different with High-Elves. They are far more stubborn compared to the Half-Elf pigs. If we rape her I'm sure her mind will break.}
{No. Boss ordered to keep the Slut a virgin. He intends to make her a gift to Prince Edan and curry favors with His Highness and Empress Marie.}
'There's no time to accommodate her around me.'
'Also, those Guards brought out some interesting information. Prince Edan … Empress Marie. I heard of those names on the forum. A Thread about the most important NPCs in Satisfy.'
With a reinvigorated mind and body, he took Elysia in his arms, causing her to almost scream in surprise, if not for his lips sealing hers shut. His eyes continued to lock hers down, calming her down as his lips held hers hostage.
"We should get going since things will get chaotic pretty soon." said Vecna after he felt the woman in his arms calm down.
"Mhmm. W-What should we do?"
"Obviously. Escape."
Using his monstrous leap, he jumped from the window, leaping in the air as he touched the roof of an neighboring building.
"Don't scream for even a second or I'll chew your neck until you're dry."
"Eeeee." Elysia felt the threat with goosebumps rushing all over her body, but not long after that she blushed as she looked at Vecna's handsome face.
"Was it your first?"
"Mhmm."
"Sorry, and not sorry. You're already mine."
Running on the roof with Elysia in his arms, he used his mana again to leap in the air reminiscent of a Werewolf that was searching for the moon, challenging the woman's resolution as she had to hold on for dear life.
She got scared further when she looked down from Vecna's safe arms, paling as winds blasted on her gorgeous face.
"We'll crash down. We'll crush down. Mom, Father, your Failure of a Daughter is sorry for not fulfilling her Duty."
Vecna didn't bother with the mumblings of the woman, for fear he would get distracted as he synchronized his skills for this inhumane Parkour only a Vampire Monster like him could achieve.
With his past mana limit Vecna could achieve only two continuous 'Soaring Leaps', but with a new target of 300 MP unlocked, once he landed on another building's roof he sprinted until he got to the edge, readying himself for another jump as Elysia closed her violet eyes.
"I'll die!"
"Don't fool yourself Elysia. As if I would let go of this piece of meat. Never."
"Where are we going?" asked Elysia, opening her eyes to be faced by the strong winds of night, soon to adjust and watch the Moonlight smile at her.
"To a safe place for you. Until then, squeeze tight if you don't want to fly and drop on the ground."
She nodded like a chick, and wrapped her arms tightly around Vecna, pushing her chest into his own. There was no sign of innocence plastered on her face, just the thought of surviving this ordeal.
By the time the Corrupted Guards entered the room they held Elysia, Vecna reached the edge of the Slum, having a headstart that couldn't be squambled even if they would get lost in the Maze.
When the Guards realized that their captured High-Elf missed, and noticed the opened window.
One of the guards approached the window and gazed into the distance, his vision limited by the night's veil. Another guard punched the brick wall of the room, blasting the obstacle in the process, anger visible on his face as he called annoyed by the situation.
"We have to act now before we lose all traces of that Whore. She might look like some inoffensive slut that is good at sucking dick, but she is an Black Mamba, rotten to the core."
"Captain?"
"Is the situation that bad? That slut worth that much?"
"Haven't you heard? She was intended to be a gift to the Fourth Prince. Obviously she isn't a simple person."
"How could she be simple? She bit down Boss's finger, and didn't even die from the beating she received."
"Boss even held himself from not raping her for the sake of our profits."
"Then what's the plan Captain? Are we chasing after?"
"Follow me."
The distance between Vecna and the Brothel enlarged with each minute the Corrupt Guards postponed acting directly.
Whatever their plan was, it wasn't of his concern as he soon found his way out of the Slum under the cover of night which boosted his movement speed and agility.
Still, he missed out on meeting the one in charge of all of Elysia's suffering since arriving at the Slum's Brothel.
"We don't know who rescued that woman. Maybe some undercover High-Elf tasked with ensuring that bitch survival."
"They got wiped out by the 1st and 2nd Red Legion and two pillars that contributed from the shadow. Haahhh. Goddess give me Patience."
The guards looked with worried expressions at an middle-aged man seated at an luxurious chair in what looked to be an office room only Nobles could lavish in. Standing at an average height, his physique exhibits the signs of a once sturdy frame now tinged with the weariness of his illicit pursuits.
His hair, once lustrous and full, has lost its former glory, revealing streaks of gray that whisper of the weight he carries
His face, weathered by time and tainted by corruption, bears the marks of a life lived on the edge of darkness.
"Haaahh. Why am I bothered to explain to you those details."
"My apologies Baron. We failed your expectations."
"It's fine. Just get lost from my sight for a while. Otherwise, I'll kill you with my own hands."
The Guard Captain nodded, and left the office, quietly followed by the other guards.
The middle-aged man once alone grabbed a bottle of expensive liquor that he might have enjoyed in leisure, throwing it at the statue of an Elf Hero Statue that decorated his office.
"Who dares mess with my Black Company? I bought the silence of the Red Knights, they are not capable of moving in my territory without my notice. All the money I invited in those Mana Circles and Alerts, down the drain."
"Could it be? The Duchess? Noo, she is so foolish. How could she be bothered with worldly affairs? Basara has no idea about my affairs with the Underworld Auction. Checked that with her Butler."
"... Then who? Who wants to fuck around with me and mess my plan of becoming a key player in the affairs of the Empire?"
"ARGHHHHH! 300.000.000 of GOLD! VANISHED! POOOFF!"
"Once I found you. Whoever is bold enough to pick a fight with me. I'll make your life a HELL along with that WHORE!"
[Valoria City Commander - Baron Victor Blackthorn - LV. 250]
Unbeknown to all the frustration he caused to some head honcho, Vecna managed the Escape Submission flawlessly if the mental health of the one he should look after wasn't taken into account.
The location he chose to pick for the waters to settle was one a Underground Boss wouldn't even consider, the Training Grounds presided by the old man Alistar.
"There you are! I thought you ditched me, chasing for the fast way out by killing some monsters."
Alistar's voice sounded from behind Vecna, managing to scare the woman accompanying him, while triggering a series of thought inducing questions for the blonde man.
"Wait. AHA. That's my boy. You brought a customer with you. Great spirit thinking about me."
"Child. Do you want to become stronger?"
The sly old man didn't even wait for the perplexed woman to respond, instead he flexed his chiseled muscles, so he could impress her before continuing his advertisement.
"Then come here! You'll be able to get strong just like me!"
Elysia stared dumbfounded at this human who was unlike what she imagined her encounter with one to be. All the scenarios that formed in her mind, shattered while facing this old man flexing muscles that looked unreal for an Elder.
She timidly turned to look at Vecna who watched the shameless display the old man was putting on.
"This is the entrance fee for her. She's good with the Bow. Ohh, and stop creeping her. She had her fill of annoying people."
"Oy, oy. What's with that tone brat? Let the girl decide for herself. What are you butting in?"
"Her guardian. Now stop annoying me since I got some sword training to do."
"Gosh. Just report to me already!"
