*splash*
*drip drip*
A lot of blood splashed out of his arm and the same dripped down his waist from his chest exactly from the point where he was stabbed.
"No..."
"You-"
*cough*
"Stabbed... you... will die!"
As stated earlier, Isabelle had almost lost her voice. For some reason, she couldn't regenerate or recover. So she was speaking solely based on her little energy that was left and the sheer willpower.
'Look at this girl...'
'She is badly hurt...'
'She is on the verge of death and yet here, she is caring about me.', Luke looked at her with gentle eyes.
Isabelle was shocked to see such kind and gentle eyes. She had never seen someone look at her like that.
She teared up almost instantly because of the unknown warmth that she felt when Luke gazed back at her when she was staring at him.
He gave a gentle smile and said, "Don't worry, these lowly bugs don't stand a chance against me."
He said that a little loudly which the royal vampire and the guards heard. The same was with the citizens.
In any case, there was no one that was supporting Luke. Every vampire in front of him wanted him dead. Basically, they were laughing and smiling thinking that he would be killed - again, it was entertainment for them after all!
"What are you mumbling you fool!"
"You will be dead in no time!"
"Hahaha!", the royal vampire laughed.
Right after him, others started laughing at him.
Luke wasn't surprised to see the vampires laugh, after all, he thought that they were crazy. However, he was surely intrigued by the fact that the royal vampire seemed quite confident in what he said.
Luke looked nothing like the vampires nor did he look like an angel at the moment. He had assumed a human-like form after all. He realized that he would seem like a vampire to others since the vampire citizens all had assumed human form.
But if that were the case, then they should think that Luke is immortal and if that had happened then they wouldn't have said the word - Die.
So luke understood that there was something that made them confident, in fact, over confident!
"Hahaha!"
The royal vampire laughed loudly and then slowly withdrew the sword only to lick Luke's blood.
"And with this, you will lose your regeneration powers."
"Hahaha." - he laughed yet again.
'I see...'
'So that's how they hurt this poor girl...'
Luke realized that the royal vampire had some special ability that allowed him to lick someone's blood and cancel out the regeneration ability!
"And with that, you will die!", the royal vampire shouted.
The guards and the citizens laughed much more loudly. It wasn't that hilarious but for them, it was a joke and they had to follow and laugh the same way as royalty did.
"Pfft..."
And amidst this, Luke too ended up laughing just when their laughter was slowly seizing.
The spears were still pierced in his chest and the guards still held the spears in their hands. The royal vampire was a step behind them. He was just staring at Luke as he smirked.
Luke ended up laughing because of what the vampire said.
"Hahaha!"
"You are really hilarious!", Luke said.
"...", for a moment, all the vampires became speechless.
Isabelle was also shocked after hearing the laughter.
"Stopping regeneration? Death?"
"Hahaha!", Luke continued to laugh like crazy which started to instill fear in everyone.
While some thought that Luke was mad, others realized that he wasn't a vampire.
And how did they realize?
Well, wings started to appear behind his back and his blood started to turn black.
"Hahaha."
"..."
Luke was laughing like a made person indeed but then all of a sudden he stopped. The entire crowd was speechless and none of them whispered or said even a single word.
It was so quiet that they could even hear each other's breathing sounds.
"Know your place, insects!", Luke all of a sudden raised his head and looked at the vampires with dead black eyes.
Black-colored arms started to form from the blood that had splattered on the faces of few vampires which then squeezed their faces ultimately busting their heads.
Their eyeballs flew far and wide which included their teeth and brain matter too. Some tried to resist this by transforming and entering their vampire form, but it was useless. The power of the hands was absolute and no matter who it was, as long as even a single drop of Luke's blood was present on them, they ended up dying!
"Ahhh!"
"Save me!!"
"Help me."
"Aaahhh!"
The silence was replaced with their screams which spread far and wide. Even those that weren't present in the crowd and were away from the cities could hear a faint noise which caused their hearts to tremor.
The blood that dripped on the platform was the same, there was no change other than it becoming black but the blood that flew down the spears had a similar change. Hands started to appear which almost instantly got hold of the guards' faces without any delay.
In no time, the guards' heads were also crushed mercilessly.
"This-"
"This is..."
The royal vampire was too shocked to even see what was happening. Although he too came in contact with Luke's blood, he was still alive and it was probably thanks to Luke.
Well, he didn't want Luke to die a painless death!
But Luke thought that he had shown enough of the scenes and almost immediately decided to end the matter with the royal vampire. Of course, all the citizens had fled the area. While some watched from their homes via windows, others just covered their eyes or ears in fear hoping that they weren't killed.
"Now, it's your turn...", just after Luke said that the hands appeared from the blood that was on the sword and crushed the royal vampire's right hand.
"Aaahhhh!!!"
"Why!? We are vampires..."
"We should be able to regenerate..."
"Why?"
"Why is my arm not regenerating!", the royal vampire groveled on the ground while crying in pain.
"Don't you know who I am?"
"Reiz Crustin, that's my name!"
"I'm from the Crustin Kingdom!", he kept on blabbering about his kingdom and family despite being in pain. Perhaps he lost his mind!
"My father will definitely-"
*splash*
"..."
