Chapter 56 I Will Devour Him And Be Done With It
"Hahaha~ He actually believed his enemy, how dumb." Ithania laughed out loud.
"YOU BI- AAgggghhh!!" Nash was angered since Ithania was making fun of him, however, just as he diverted his attention, a man pierced a sword on his right thigh. He lost his balance and then fell to the ground.
With both his hands and a thigh injured, Nash who was now laying on the ground was nothing more than target practice for the humans charmed by Azriel.
"YOU BASTARDS! WHAT ARE YOU DOI- AAGHHHH!!"
The only thing he could do was try and persuade the humans to stop attacking him, however, it did not work.
Another sword pierced his left thigh.
Attack his limbs.
That was the order and the humans fulfilled it.
[Stop.]
Azriel ordered as he and Ithania stood up and walked towards Nash who now lay on the ground, unable to move. However, although his condition was like that, his eyes were filled with sheer anger!
"You bastards! Why are you listening to his orders!?" Nash questioned in rage.
A small smile appeared on Azriel's face as he used his feet to raise Nash's chin and their eyes met.
"Did I not tell you before? You humans were born as our servants. You cannot defy our orders."
"LIES! LIES! ALL LIES!" Nash screamed at the top of his lungs. He won't believe that ridiculous thing even after seeing what he saw.
"Heh. Lies? You think?" Azriel chuckled.
"Oh c'mon, give him some time, he just hasn't accepted the truth yet," Ithania muttered with a smile.
"Oh? Is that so? Don't worry, since I am here, I will make sure to realize what the truth is." Azriel's smile widened.
Nash who listened to their conversation couldn't help but gulp.
[You, come here]
Azriel's blood-red eyes then shined brightly and he ordered. One of the humans who were under his control walked over, and Azriel ordered.
[Kill yourself]
The man did not hesitate; he pointed his sword at himself and pierced his heart.
*Thud*
His body then fell to the ground, lifeless.
Azriel smiled, he turned towards Nash who looked at everything with a shocked look on his face and continued.
[You come here as well]
Another human walked over and,
[Kill yourself]
Azriel ordered again.
Azriel continued doing this until all 6 humans were dead, killed by their own hands, without any expression on their faces.
And he did it One. By. One.
A crazed smile then appeared on Azriel's face as he crouched down and looked at Nash's face.
"Did you see that? Do you believe me now?"
When he saw those blood-red eyes and the crazed smile that was on Azriel's face, Nash's body shuddered involuntarily.
He was too stiff to even try and avoid eye contact. His face had already paled and his lips had dried up. He was…
He was scared.
Scared of the monster in front of him.
And that was what Ithania and Azriel needed.
Azriel's blood-red eyes then shined and he questioned.
[Now tell me what you guys are here for?]
Suddenly, the fear in Nash's eyes was replaced by a blank look, his face became expressionless and his body stopped trembling as well.
He was under Azriel's charm.
"We are patrolling."
"Ask the reason they are patrolling for," Ithania muttered.
"Hmm? Isn't that clear? They are on guard against us."
Ithania shook her head and replied, "Just ask."
Azriel might have missed an important detail, however, she did not.
Azriel shrugged his shoulders and questioned,
[Why are you patrolling in the forest?]
"We are on guard against Viscount Alger's men," Nash replied expressionlessly.
"Hmm?" A frown appeared on Azriel's face. He then turned towards Ithania and she nodded back.
[Why are you on guard against them?]
"I do not know the details, I only know that they are suspected of killing our men and a war might start soon."
"Interesting…" Ithania muttered to herself.
[Answer all her questions.] Azriel ordered.
A small smile appeared on Ithania's face as she nodded at him. Azriel nodded back with a similar smile.
"Do you know anyone who knows all the details?"
"The leader of our operation, William Hardwick should know everything."
"Where is he?" Ithania questioned.
"He is in Lockwood Village."
"Hmm? That sounds familiar…" Azriel muttered to himself.
"What is he doing there?" Ithania questioned.
"We have set up our base for all our operations in that village."
"What is William's cultivation level?"
"Grand Master," Nash answered.
"How many people are there in the base?"
"51"
"What are their cultivation levels?"
"30 Advance, 20 Masters and 1 Grand Master, that is the leader."
Ithania then continued asking a few more questions and since all the interesting information was over, Azriel got bored.
"I'll leave all of this to you, Bookworm." He muttered, then he turned around and sat on the chair.
Ithania wanted to retort, however, she knew her priorities and continued questioning.
…
A few minutes later, Ithania returned and sat on the chair beside Azriel.
"Did you find anything interesting?" Azriel questioned.
"Nothing much, however, I am interested in knowing the reason why Viscount Heath and Viscount Alger are fighting," Ithania muttered.
"Hahaha~ I am interested in that as well~ Humans are so stupid, they are fighting among themselves. Hahaha~" Azriel laughed.
"Didn't we have some infighting as well?" Ithania muttered.
"We solved it an hour."
"That was because there were barely 10 troublemakers. Humans reproduce like crazy, with such a high population, conflicts are unavoidable." Ithania muttered.
"True…"
"Alright, I believe the mission is completed, right? We hunted humans, are we going back now?" Ithania questioned.
Azriel's smile faded and was replaced by a disgusted expression when he remembered something.
However, he then steeled his heart as he stood up and walked toward Nash, who was still under his charm.
"Are you sure you don't want to ask anything else?" Azriel questioned as he turned towards Ithania who was following him.
"Yes, I am sure." Ithania nodded.
Then, a sword appeared in Azriel's hand and he pierced Nash's heart.
Azriel then crouched and held Nash's body as if he was holding filth.
"Are you going to drink his blood?" Ithania questioned with a small smile on her face.
She rarely see an expression like this on Azriel's face, she would be a fool if she didn't enjoy it.
Azriel did not reply, a bottle appeared in his hand and he passed it to Ithania, "Give it to me as soon as I drink his blood." He muttered.
Ithania nodded with a smile on her face, "Sure."
She knew what was inside that bottle.
Luminia's blood.
She didn't find it weird since she also drinks Lilia's blood, that is another reason why she understood what Azriel was feeling right now.
Just thinking about drinking human blood, which she found delicious a few months back, disgusted her to the core of her being.
However, she never openly shows that disgusted expression on her face like Azriel, Luminia and Lilia. That was because she sees how the other vampires drink human blood like it was the most delicious thing in the world.
"Ughhh… why can't I level up on my own…" Azriel groaned as he held Nash's body in his hands.
"Why don't we take his body back to the Mansion? It would be better if you drink this blood in front of Lady Luminia." Ithania suggested.
"I cannot do that…" Azriel answered.
"Why?"
"…"
Azriel stayed silent.
'I would miss the extra reward'
He muttered to himself.
If he drinks the blood here, he would then drink Luminia's blood that is in the bottle, not only that, he will return with a 'disgusted' face and then would demand more blood.
A genius plan.
A small smile appeared on Azriel's face as he thought about it.
'Alright, let's do it.'
Azriel then took a deep breath, his canines elongated and he pierced them into Nash's neck.
As soon as the blood touched Azriel's tongue, his eyes narrowed in disgust; however, he steeled his resolve and continued drinking.
3 seconds passed, however, no message appeared.
Azriel closed his eyes and continued drinking.
Ithania could feel how disgusted he was from the expression he was making.
5 seconds passed… nothing happened…
6… 7… 8… 9…
10 seconds passed and something finally happened.
Nash's body shrivelled up due to a lack of blood.
However, Azriel did not break through.
*Thud*
He quickly threw away Nash's body, Ithania passed the bottle and he drank it all in one gulp.
"I don't feel any changes in you…" Ithania muttered.
"I failed to break through" Azriel muttered.
"Huh? How? Is your power not working anymore?" Ithania questioned.
"It is working, however, with the pace I am going, I would need to devour around 30-40 Master Stage Cultivators before I break through."
Azriel spoke in a hoarse voice.
He was disgusted.
"What are you going to do now? Are you going to devour 30 humans?" Ithania questioned.
"Never," Azriel answered resolutely.
"Then wh-"
"That Williams, the Grand Master Stage Cultivator,
I will devour him and be done with it."
