The vampire stared at me for a while longer, before snorting, as if losing interest.
"You are indeed different from other humans," he said, returning to his throne. "Others would have pissed their pants by now, in my presence."
"What can I say? I've seen worse," I replied. Nothing could ever be scarier than losing your family directly in front of your eyes.
"I admire your courage, and I respect those with courage. Therefore, I won't pry for information about the strength you wield. I already know you have a special power - I just do not know exactly what it is."
Yeah...looks like denying it any further is not going to do any good here.
"Was that all you wanted to say?"
"Yes. I wanted to ascertain your mental strength and willpower. Even if you hold an insurmountable amount of external strength, that power will be rendered useless if you are easily manipulated by someone else."
"...I know," I replied. "So? Can I go now?"
Heya everyone. Cyclxne here.
Interesting turn, eh? Xuan Kai is now a half-vampire. That will have a huge connection with what will happen in a future volume, and a major arc that spans multiple volumes, but to avoid spoiling, that's all I'm going to say.
In any case, I would like to take this opportunity to advertise my other novel. It's called Ascension: Online, and it's a Video Game themed novel that proposes...quite the interesting theory regarding reality and such. It's a pretty big brain novel while also being light-hearted and easy to read, with comedy here and there, so do give it a try no matter what type of reader you are.
Also, the MC is pretty different from Xuan Kai, so that will make for a nice change of pace as well.
Anyway, that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll talk to you all from the next chapter~
