The Reincarnated Vampire - Part 6

Earlier, when she said this - "I will follow you. I will stay by your side and be at least your shield. You can throw me as a pawn if you like." - Luke was somewhat agitated.

'Throw you like a pawn...?'

'That's something I would definitely do unless you end up being useful.' - yes, he was literally thinking of using Isabelle as a pawn.

The reason why he helped her and the reason why he went through the trouble of crushing some bugs (vampires), was because he wanted Isabelle's help.

And then when he said this -"I know that I am not as strong as you, but please, allow me to follow you." - it felt as if something pricked him.

'You aren't strong?'

'Don't make me laugh, even if I use all of my strength, I wonder if I can stop you.', was what Luke said to himself.

So till now, was Luke just acting to be a good person? Was he a corrupted one from the start who had the thoughts of throwing the ones who trusted him?

The answer was yes. He had been thinking of ways to use her and then throw her.

The reason why he started walking towards Isabelle earlier when she was tied was because he could feel an immense amount of energy from her body, a form of energy that he hadn't seen from anyone.

'Even the Archangels didn't have this vast amount of energy.' - he commented.

One could say that he was purely attracted towards her because of her power, and precisely because of that, he wanted to use he as a pawn.

However, when he walked further closer, he could feel the similarities because of which, he changed his thoughts.

He would still use her as a pawn but would prefer not to throw her needlessly.

He started walking and so did Isabelle. Both of them disguised as humans again, of course, that was their normal forms however Luke had used his own powers to change their appearances.

He knew that news about him might have spread and precisely that had happened. There were posters stuck on walls here and there showing Luke's face and that of Isabelle's too.

'Probably the so-called Reiz's father did this.', Luke smirked when he saw his own poster up close.

"Aren't I handsome?", he asked with a smirk.

Isabelle nodded her head while complimenting further, "Yes, Luke is handsome."

"A lot more handsome than anyone I've ever seen." - not that Isabelle had seen each and every man of the Vampire world, but it sounded complimenting enough for Luke to smile.

They started walking again and moved further away from the posters which were placed in the city in which Luke had slaughtered Reiz.

Isabelle had no idea about Luke's plan so she thought of asking him - "Luke, will you please tell me what you are planning to do next?"

Luke thought that it was best not to keep her in the dark so he said, "Actually, I have a potion called Blood Potion."

"I intend to hide it but I don't know which is the right place.", he murmured.

"Blood potion?"

"What is that Luke?", Isabelle asked.

"Well, it is an elixir to be precise."

"An elixir?"

"Yes."

"Earlier, did you see my power?", Luke asked.

"Oh, the hands forming from the blood?", Isabelle quickly replied with a question while thinking of what Luke meant about that.

"Yes."

"That power belongs to this elixir.", Luke nodded while saying that.

"What?", she was surprised when she heard that yet again.

"So, if anyone drinks this elixir, they would get that power?", she asked.

"Yes, they would. But I think if anyone tries to drink this, they would end up poisoning themselves after all the elixir isn't completely ready yet."

"What do you mean?", Isabelle seemed much more interested in the topic.

Right now, they were speaking with the lowest possible voice to prevent others from listening.

But the context was too much, so Luke decided to go towards another place with fewer people and say further. Soon they had crossed the city and were now in the woods when Luke continued.

"I drank a drop of this elixir earlier, but the potency was so strong that I almost killed myself."

"Thankfully, the composition of angels are the best among the races due to which I was able to come by."

"But if any other race or anyone else were to drink this, they would end up dying and their body will rot."

"Oh, I see. So you are hiding this so that no one ends up dying, is that right?", she asked.

"Yes.", Luke smiled.

They continued to walk again but this time Isabelle was walking in front of Luke. He had dead eyes again while he thought, 'Of course, whatever I said was a lie.'

'I don't want anyone to drink this, after all, it took me 200 years to create this.'

He didn't trust Isabelle and thought that she might attempt to take it away from him and then drink. Of course, that is why he lied completely. It was weird in the first place that he would tell her about such an important potion!

Though, he didn't lie about the effects.

Luke stopped thinking any further and continued on the same path with Isabelle until they had found a suitable place. Only two people knew about the place where Luke hid the elixir, one - he himself and two - Isabelle.

By the time he found a place to hide, a month had passed and by now, he had started to trust her completely. He came to understand why she felt powerless despite harboring such a huge amount of energy inside her.

'So, she has never used her powers and when tried to use, she failed?'

Luke took some time to teach her after all, he had decided to make her his subordinate who will stand for him in the realm of vampires.

Unfortunately enough, after leaving the realm of Vampires, Luke was caught by the Gods. In the end, he died after 300 years and at the same time, Isabelle was killed too - by the Gods that is.

Yes, it was three days before Luke's execution that the news about Isabelle's death reached him.
