RE:BORN Zombie

When the morning had come, Victor headed out of the mansion to see the new surrounding as he was told there would be a shift in their location. He was awake throughout the night, but didn’t feel anything like the castle, as he had decided to refer to the house, move. The room he was in wasn’t located where there would be a window to provide a view of the surrounding areas, so he couldn’t monitor through there either. Not to his surprise, the castle now sat just at the edge of an insanely tall mountain edge. Perhaps it was because of the morning conditions, he couldn’t see the bottom as it was covered in clouds.

‘This idea was definitely hijacked from castlevania.’ Victor said in his mind. Really, what were the odds that the vampires would be the same? He thought.

Shortly after the morning hours had passed, Victor set out towards the direction of the land of vampires, city, actually. According to Vince, when the vampires emerged, they managed to take over one of the human cities and turned it into theirs, and every human that was alive within the city basically became livestock.

“The good thing for the humans is that the vampires are not really interested in taking over the world, at least for now, so they usually mind their business. That is of course, unless they run out of food and need more.” Vince stopped there as he knew Victor, the Crow, understood what he meant.

At this moment, Vince was explaining some things to Victor while they headed towards the city occupied by the vampires. Victor of course now had an idea of the way to get to the city, but since he was taking Vince with him, there was no need for him to take the lead. They were riding some demon vehicle that travelled pretty fast. The thing looked like a flying sci-fi bike, but it had an arcane look and feel to it, nothing like the normal technology of the humans.

After some hours of travelling, Vince and Victor had finally gotten to their destination, but by this time, the sun was already starting to disappear into the horizon as darkness approached from the opposite side. Along the trip, Victor had marked the vehicle they were on, then disappeared, only to return about an hour later. Vince had no idea where he had gone, and he had no desire to ask.

“Have you been here for long?” Victor asked as he appeared out of thin air before Vince who was almost stunned by the sudden appearance.

“No, I just got here some minutes ago.” Vince answered.

Victor wondered why Vince didn’t enter the city even after getting there, but he didn’t need to think much to figure out why. In the city were actual vampires, and before those monsters, Vince wasn’t really much, not to mention that he isn’t much of a fighter himself. He only benefits from his altered race’s abilities, that’s all. In the face of experts, he wouldn’t dare stick out.

“Alright, let’s head in then, shall we?” Victor said as he took the lead. The vehicle they used just disintegrated as Vince stored it into a storage wrist band he was wearing.

‘Something feels really weird about this place, something’s off a bit.’ Vince thought, but kept the thoughts to himself.

Just like the previous city where Larry lived, this one also had a wall around it, but this wal was different, as it wasn’t as big and tall, neither was it all that protective or anything. Compared to the one Victor was familiar with, this one was just half the height and thickness. They walked through the gates which surprisingly had no guards or anything guarding them, and now unlike the one Victor was used to, there was a second wall and gate, only this one was even shorter and thinner than the one they just came through. It was like a double ring around the city. Perhaps, the most noticeable difference here would be the field of what seemed to be human skeletons littered on the ground. The entire space between the first and second wall was filled with them to the point where Victor and Vince had to walk over them to get to the other side.

Seeing this kind of scene, Victor couldn’t help but thing, ‘Hey look, here’s the similarity. Only that these guys are less creative with it.’ He said in his mind as they continued on the path, until they get to the other gate.

“Why don’t we just go over the wall?” Vince asked. Victor gave no answer in response to the question, and Vince wasn’t expecting one, so he wasn’t bothered.

Just as they entered the main city through the broken gate of the second wall, Vince immediately noticed the absence of the strange feeling he had constantly as soon as he got to the outer wall. Victor on the other hand had not been affected by this strange feeling. As soon as he arrived, he got a notification from his system that it a mental attack was being used on him. Him being an undead rendered the attack useless, but Vince who was only half undead got affected nevertheless, though Victor concluded that the effect would greatly be reduced.

As soon as they walked into the city through gate, four figures appear before them, all wearing something that seemed to be a uniform amongst them. The clothes they spotted were black and red, and looked like some kind of military uniform. They all also had a pale skin, though not as ghostly pale as Victor, and their eyes were red.

One of them immediately spoke in a slightly loud voice, enough for Victor and Vince to hear him. “How does a half made even exist? Who is your master? Speak!” The vampire said audibly enough for Vince to hear him clearly, and he could also tell how disgusted the vampire was from his tone and voice. Vince remained silent, as this was not his business, he would rather face his master/mistress than face these guys. Thankfully, Vince’s request was granted, almost like Victor could read his mind.

“Vince, go on back, I’ll be fine by myself. No need to come looking for me, I’ll be back when I finish here.” Victor said while looking around the surrounding, not really paying attention to the four before him.

Victor wouldn’t want Vince to witness him eat up the vampires, so he figured it would be good to send him off first before anything goes down. Vince, using his teleportation ability teleported himself back to his master’s castle and left Victor at the vampire city by himself. He wasn’t worried one bit for Victor, as he believed that if anything, the vampires should be the one worried.

“Who are you? Sending off your half thing of a partner, do you believe you can just walk in and out of this city?” The same vampire asked with a hint of arrogance in his voice.

Victor didn’t respond, but just stared at them all with his eyes beginning to show a tint of green as the sun set slowly behind the horizon and darkness creped in. Really, there was no need explaining things to a dead body, was there?
