The air crackled with dark energy, and the atmosphere grew heavy with the impending confrontation.

"A vampire huh? Well, nothing I can't beat, guess I'll try to take some information from him," Velian thought observing the enemy in front of him. And when his eyes observed the underling that followed him, he was disappointed because they were even weaker than normal humans.

"They are just ghouls! Even weaker than humans," Velian muttered to himself and looked at the vampire.
