Chương 8: Why Not Speed Up The Process?

"H-Hey! C-Come here! Quick!"

A young man who was about to visit his girlfriend and was finally about to get the reward for all the efforts he had put in to impress her, heard a voice and turned around.

He then noticed a man with a pale white face and blood-red eyes calling him, although he was surprised by how handsome the man was, he noticed the panicked expression on his face and questioned.

"What happened?"

"H-He's dead! Follow me quick!"

Saying that, the pale-faced man started running.

The young man frowned, however, his curiosity took over and in a rush of the moment, he started running behind the pale-faced man.

"Who's dead?"

He questioned.

"…" However, the pale-faced man did not reply and continued running.

The young man frowned, but just as he thought that something was wrong, he noticed that there was a figure lying on the ground and the pale-faced man's panicked voice sounded.

"I was walking here when I noticed him. I don't know how long he has been here; I panicked and then started looking for others and found you"

The young man then rushed towards the figure and was horrified to see that his body had turned pale and had completely dried up.

"H-How did this happen?"

The young man questioned in fear.

"I-I don't know… however, I do have a culprit in my mind who I suspect is responsible for this"

The pale face man muttered.

"W-Who is it?"

The young man questioned, however, he, who was still crouching and looking at the dried-up body, did not notice a predatory smile that had appeared on the pale-faced man's face.

"A Vampire"

"A vam- AAGGHhhhhh!"

The young man frowned but before he could question, the pale-faced man's canines elongated as he bit his side nape and his body started turning numb.

The young man shouted in pain however, since he was in a secluded alleyway, no one heard him.

He moved his hands randomly and started using his elbow to hit his stomach, stomping his foot on the top of the man's but that man was too strong and did not budge.

10 seconds later, the young man felt his body weakening and his resistance started fading away.

He could still feel his blood being devoured by the pale-faced man and knew that he was about to die… tears streamed out of his eyes, however, Azriel did not care.

He continued drinking his blood as his red eyes shined in excitement.

A few more seconds later, the man's body turned numb and he died due to excessive blood loss. However, even after that, Azriel did not stop and continued devouring.

A minute later, the man's healthy body started shrivelling up.

"Aahhh~"

Another minute later, Azriel finally let go of his body and moaned in contentment.

He had to admit, as vile and as hateful these humans are, their blood was a delicacy.

Although not comparable to the dense blood he drank in the Vampires Royal Castle, it was 100 times better than the dog's blood he used to drink before.

He then wiped the blood off his mouth before he glanced at the young man's body, which was now similar to the middle-aged man's dried body, and smiled.

As for this being his first time killing someone?

He did not care.

Humans deserve to perish.

He did not feel an ounce of regret or hesitation when he pierced his canines into his side nape.

Azriel then stood up and walked out of the alleyway.

A few minutes later, his eyes fell on another man and they started shining.

[Name: Edwin Burns ]

[Age: 28 ]

[Mana Cultivation: Mortal.]

[Body Cultivation: Mortal. ]

[Race: Human ]

[LVL: 1]

[HP: 70/70]

[STR: 6]

[AGL: 5]

[VIT: 7]

[STM: 4]

[INT: 3]

[DEF: 4]

…

The system screen that contained the information about that man appeared in front of Azriel's eyes.

Yes, this is his system's ability that he noticed it had.

He doesn't exactly know how it works, but he speculated that it depends on his 'intent'.

As long as he glances at someone with 'intent' to look through him, the system screen will appear.

A helpful ability.

"H-Hey! C-Come here! Quick!"

A smile appeared on Azriel's face before he called with a panicked expression.

…

Azriel continued finding and killing his prays in the same manner. Right now, he had already killed 6 humans, and although very subtle, he could feel that his strength was increasing.

"Hey! What are you doing, you bastard!"

However, while he was devouring his 7th prey, something happened.

A man, who Azriel presumed was a nightguard, found him out and shouted as he raised his sword towards him.

Azriel panicked and he rushed toward the man and punched his face.

*Boom*

*Burst*

However, as soon as his punch connected, the man's head burst apart from the impact and he died.

"…"

Azriel stayed silent as blood flowed out of his neck like a fountain before the body fell to the ground as well.

'What the hell…'

Azriel muttered inwardly while he was being covered in his blood.

'And you had the galls to point your sword at me… where did you get that confidence from?'

Azriel then finally realized how scary his strength is and an idea popped into his head.

"Tricking these humans one by one is too slow… I would never be able to kill 100 humans this way… plus, the late it gets; the fewer humans would come out… Hmm"

He muttered before a slight smile appeared on his blood-covered face,

"Why not speed up the process?"
