SYSTEM OF THE BONE DEMON

"Indeed, it does." the Leader said nodding before looking at Kurtz with a slight frown, "I will give you a month Sir Kurtz, if after then you are still not here to help us, we will have no choice but to take the Magician's help." Brad stated and Kurtz looked at him for a moment before nodding and looking at the Witch who seems still frozen in shock and she immediately looked away on noticing his gaze.

"I hope to see you all in a month then." he spoke and left.

Some moments later

In front of a dark hazy tunnel, two red eyed vampires stood some distance from each other, their gaze staring through the darkness.

Suddenly, a faint gust blew by and one of the Vampires turned sharply to the side before looking at his fellow, "hey, did you notice anything just now" he asked with slight frown.

"What?" the other replied looking around in confusion.

"The air felt different just now." The Vampire said still frowning slightly.

"There is nothing man, stop hallucinating." The other said shaking his head.

"Uh, we might actually be in greater danger if I am hallucinating." The Vampire muttered before shrugging and assuming his stoic face again.

"True, that's why I told you to stop hallucinating." The other replied shrugging as well before the place returned to its previous tranquility.

In the tunnel behind the two a figure walked on, his figure almost completely masked by the darkness, it was Kurtz.

"That was a keen one?" Kurtz muttered after hearing the exchanged between the two guards. The Vampire were readily differentiated by their eye colors, but the eye colors represented more than just physical manifestations.

They determined the powers possessed by a Vampire. The red eyed vampires were generally physically strong Vampires while the purple eyed Vampires have great mental manipulation power, the golden eyed possessed both, hence they ruled.

Since the guards were only red eyed Vampires, Kurtz was still able to get in the tunnel just behind them without being detected. He was actually surprised one of the guards had noticed something.

In the tunnel, Kurtz suddenly paused before looking upwards, and there he could see a flock of bats hanging upside down the wall.

"I met Vera first then you, has my luck really gone so bad or is it you guys who have taken your jobs more seriously." Kurtz spoke before bats turned lively flying down towards a single point before they all disappeared and in their place, a golden eyed man softly landed on the ground.

"Uh, isn't that the infamous bastard of the royals." The man said, his voice sounding ancient and powerful.

Sighing, Kurtz raised his hands, "I am not here to fight or anything, Stael, I am only here to see my father." Kurtz said hurriedly.

Stael was one of the oldest Vampire alive, he had lived through centuries hence was one of the few Royal Vampire whom no one knew much about, in fact, Stael seems to been forgotten by many vampires except the royals.

"Your Father, I could help you get to him faster." The ancient Vampire spoke looking at Kurtz with a dark smirk.

Putting his hand down, Kurtz walked forwards before stopping right in front of the Vampire's face, "before trying to do anything, you should ask yourself a question. Can you?" he said and Stael stared on at him, not in the least perturbed.

"And what if I don't, kid?" he replied.

"You might get hurt then?" Kurtz said before stepping to the side to continue forwards but his wrist had been gripped firmly in place and he looked to the side to see the ancient Vampire barring his fangs.

Kurtz could feel his heartbeat speeding up just looking at this stats, especially the ancient Vampire's skills, he wondered if this battle was really one he could win.

"I didn't say you could leave." Steal eventually spoke before Kurtz felt a great force yanked him off the ground and he violently slammed into the wall by the side.

The whole place quaked as Kurtz slammed into the ground, rolling for a moment before slowly coming to a stop and in his mouth, pain raced through his nerves as he coughed spitting out blood.

Stael attack was so sudden that he hadn't even been given opportunity to materialize his bone amour.
