Chapter 17: Reunion

Nearby the forest where a group of hunters walking towards a nearby village.

"Are we there?" She said, with an annoying expression.

Vandella replied to her, "We are almost there. Just be patient, and be quiet." He said, with an annoying tone.

Lovana kept asking if they were there yet. But vandella kept responding with an annoying tone, he couldn't stand hearing her.

Rin says, "Van. Why are we going to some village?" he was curious why they changed direction.

Vandella looks back at Rin. "I don't know. But for some reason, I have to go back to the village." He said, while trying to figure out why he's going there.

Vandella hand no reason to go back to MistWood, but for some unknown reason. He has to go back there, it's like the village was drawn to him.

Zero spoke, "You must be feeling like you miss home. That's probably why you were drawn there."

Vandella Chuckles, "You probably right. I do have one thing, that I was supposed to do. It's probably the promise I made."

Vandella looks up at the sky, and remembers the kid that he once knew. "He's probably all grown up."

Both teams look at each other confused.

Zero spoke, "And what was the promise you made?"

They were curious about who he was talking about, but vandella didn't say anything. He kept walking forward.

"It's old promise I made. It was way back, when jack—" vandella was about to talk about back then, but he kept quiet when he mentioned his old partner. That he once knew, so he kept quiet about it.

"Never mind. It's nothing to worry about, let's just move on." He said, his voice filled with pain and sorrow.

Both of his teammates knew something was bothering him, but they kept quiet and not saying anything about it. They continue walking in silence, the tension in the air thickening as they drew closer to the village.

When they got closer, Vandella noticed something was wrong.

"What!... There is no way." He said, with a surprise expression.

Vandella eyes widened as saw the barrier surrounding the forest. He stopped in his tracks, his heart racing with confusion he looked around, trying to understand how the village had disappeared.

"What the hell...?" he muttered under his breath, his mind was racing with questions, the others also stopped, looking at the barrier with shock and disbelief.

"This isn't normal." one of them said, their voice is trembling.

Vandella reaches out his hand and touches the barrier. A sudden "Bzzz!" electricute him and small pain going through his hand.

"Ouch!... This barrier ain't normal." He said, with worry expression.

He feel the wall was solid but to his surprise, it felt like a solid energy, pulsating with a strange power he pressed his hand against it, trying to sense what kind of magic was being used to create it. Vandella senses that the barrier seemed to hum dark energy, making his skin crawl.

"This is not good. I felt dark magic in between these walls." his tone was filled with concern.

Zero spoke, "Do you have any idea, of what caused this—"

"It's a spell cast" An unknown voice spoke.

Zero was about to say something, until some caught his word off by surprise. Both groups were even shocked, that someone got behind them without sensing their presence. Vandella, however, heard a familiar voice.

When he look behind with caution, he was even more surprised.

"You!..." he said with serious tone and put his guard up. He couldn't believe his eyes, seeing a family figure standing before them.

The vampire lord stepped out of the shadow, his presence becoming more apparent as he reveal himself he was taller and more menacing as he was once back then. His eyes glowing with predatory gleam, he wore a dark cloak that billowed around him, making him more imitating.

Vandella was angry, he thought he would kill him, but he was mistaken. The memories of their past battles flooding back into his mind.

"So it's you!" he said, with anger expression.

WOOOOSHHHHH...

His energy flares up and increases every minute.

The vampire lord smirks, "What a temper you have." his tone was mocking him.

Both groups were now information, surrounding the vampire lord with their group covered his escaped routes. But the vampire lord didn't plan off escaping, he knew that he could escape if he wanted to, but he didn't want to be acuse of something that he didn't do.

"I think, there is some kind of mistake here." he said in a calm way. The vampire lord continues to look at vandella.

Vandella still didn't care or believe him.

"Shut up!"Vandella raised his hand and started casting his fire magic towards him.

Vampire was startled by it, but he quickly disappeared in the flash and got behind vandella.

SWISH!

The vampire lord chuckle as he stood behind vandella, his voice echoing in his ear "Your still quick to anger as ever, I see." He said, his breath was tickling vandella neck.

Vandella team were surprised yet again, they saw how easily he got behind their leader back. They know that the fight won't be easier as they thought, they glance at each other hoping to find a way to defeat him.

Zero pull out his cross, "In the name of god—"

The vampire caught him off, "Your god is not here." he said with a mocking tone.

He threw hidden daggers straight at zero with quick reflex.

SWOOOOSSSHH

Rin got in front of zero and deflected the blade with his own.

CLANG!

Rin felt the vibration of the force, when he blocked the vampire lord attacks.

The vampire lord let out a whistle, clearly impressed "Not bad." He said, a hint of respect in his voice.

Zero was stunned, "Thanks, that was a close call." his eyes were wide shock and gratitude towards Rin for saving him.

Vandella clenched his fist and immediately flared his magic "Boom" and blasted his surroundings. However, the vampire lord evades it, instantly and puts a distance between them.

The vampire lord said, "Let's settle this like gentlemen. We don't have to fight each other."

Vandella said, "You think we talk like nothing happened between us!"

Vandella was filled with anger, he unleashed his fire magic and blasted him immediately, without wasting his breath.

BOOOOMMMM

Vandella kept casting fire magic repeatedly at the vampire lord, but the vampire lord spoke, "Hahaha... I suggest we talk for a bit and get to know one another like a civilized person." he kept dodging his fire magic with ease while even trying.

Lovana aims a crossbow at the vampire, and she shoots the bolt "Twang" the string release.

SWOOSHH

Valerious sense of the air chilling through his neck, when the arrow got closer behind his neck. The vampire instantly, moves his head to the right side, letting the bolt go through, missing his head.

"Hahaha..." Valerious was not expecting a sneak attack. He looked behind and saw the women that shot him. "Is this all you all can do? Sneak attacks!" his voice filled with mocking as he vanished.

Both group were watching each other back for sneak attacks. Vandella bite his teeth with frustration "Come out you coward!" he was filled with rage.

The vampire lord appears behind the barrier "Relax and let me finish. Your quick to attack but don't wait for others to speak. Does pheasant, these days don't have any manners?" he was clearly mocking them still.

Vandella was getting impatient with him, he couldn't stand looking at his face, the more he looked the more he wanted to wipe him off the earth for good. But it seems like, he wants to talk.

"Alright! So what do you want to say?!" Vandella said, but still alerted.

Vampire lord, "I sense a weird magic behind this barrier."

Valerious can sense that there is something inside that its making feel uncomfortable. However, vandella still didn't trust his words.

"Oh, you think so! I guess we never thought of that." vandella said with a sarcastic tone.

The vampire lord ignores his sarcastic tone. The vampire lord expression changed from amusement to confusion as he felt this chilling magic. He closed his eyes, focusing on the familiar sensation that is making him uneasy. He tries to pinpoint where he had felt this magic before, but his mind is drawing blank.

He opened his eyes again, and looked at vandella with mix curiosity and suspicious "This magic... I felt it before." he muttered, his voice low and serious.

Vandella couldn't help being sarcastic.

"Oh, really? You felt it before? How shocking." He said, his tone filled with sarcasm.

Both group still aim their weapons at the vampire lord.

The vampire lord took a step closer to vandella, his expression serious "I know this feeling, but I can't remember where I felt it before." He said, his eyes locked onto vandella trying to reason with him. Vandella raised an eyebrow, surprised by the vampire lord's admission.

"Really? You don't remember? Or are you just pretending not to know and lower our guard down." his voice changes from low to serious tone.

Vampire lord sighs, "I guess we can't come with an agreement."

Vandella said, "I thought you were smarter? I guess you're not that intelligent as I thought." his tone is still filled with mockery.

Vampire was done talking or reason with him, he stood in front of them. But before they started to face each other, a sudden "Bzzz" electricity spark behind Valerious.

"Uh?!" Valerious felt and heard a sound behind him. He looked and saw the barrier slightly opening up.

Both vandella and the vampire lord were interrupted by a sudden sound. They all looked behind Valerious when a sudden barrier slowly went up for them.

Zero was shocked by the split of the barrier "Is that supposed to happen?" he was clearly astonished how incredibly amazed by how it looked.

The moment the barrier door opened, a wave of creepy and dark magic rushed out, sending chills to everyone's spines vandella, his team and the vampire lord all felt the chilling coursing through their bodies. Vandella heart raced as he felt the overwhelming power for magic. The vampire lord eyes widened in shock, his expression turning serious "What the hell is this magic?!" he muttered, his voice barely above his whisper.

They all stood there and watched the barrier door, thinking what they should do.

They glance at each other, vampire lords look at vandella, vandella saw that the lord has nothing to do with it. He saw his eyes that he was serious about not involving with the situation. So clearly he got know choice but to believe his story and looked at the barrier in front of them.

The group stood there, frozen in place as they stared at the barrier door the air around felt heavy and ominous, the dark magic still lingering in the atmosphere. Vandella clenched his fist, his mind was filled with possibility "Let's put our grudges aside for now, and we look inside of what is going on around here." His voice filled with determination.

The vampire lord nodded in agreement as he stared at the door, "Agreed. For now, we need to find out what's in there."he said, still felt a familiar energy but doesn't know where he felt it before.

As they walk through the barrier, the atmosphere grew even darker and more foreboding. The fog surrounding the place seemed to be thickening, creating an eerie and unsettling ambiance. The sound of the thunder echoing in the distance, adding to the ominous feeling.

Vandella shuddered as they approached the village, his instinct was telling him something wasn't right. "I have a bad feeling about this..." he muttered, his voice low and tense.

The vampire lord eyes scanning the place, taking in the eerie and the creepy atmosphere of the village. He couldn't help it but a sense of excitement at the thought of claiming this place as his territory. He smirks to himself, imagining the power and influence he could have in such a place.

Vandella notice his expression, "Don't even think about it." He said, knowing exactly going on inside his mind, he didn't need to read his mind, to know what he was really thinking.

The vampire lord still smiles sinisterly, not caring about it.

Not far from them. Inside the church, a giant demonic figure was busy taking advantage of Elizabeth's vulnerable state. He had her pinned down on the altar, his hand roaming around all over her naked body. As he pleasures her with his disgusting, maggots, that are thrusting inside of her vergina.

Elizabeth was enjoying the sensation of being cruelly pounded by his insanely messive dick. His semen was dripping out of her vergina, all over the floor.

The demonic figure semen was overflowing in Elizabeth stomach, causing her belly to swell and distended. He looked down at her with a satisfied grin, his eyes filled with lust and possessiveness. The room was completely overtaken by demonic vines, which grew and twisted along the walls. And the ceiling is like a living parasite. Giant eggs shell scattered around the room, attached to the ceiling and the walls like a decoration.

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive, the eggshell was giving off a ominous and creepy atmosphere. The vines seemed to pulse and move on their own, as they were alive and breathing.

But suddenly, sense unfamiliar and weak magic approaching the church. His mood was now ruined by unexpected visitors "This feeling?... Could it be." he said, felt a familiar magic energy.

Andrew chuckles, "Hahaha... I guess, this is fate after all." he muttered as he grip Elizabeth tightly.

Andrew knows who is heading towards him. His shadows were spreading all over his church waiting patiently for the intruders. Andrew removed Elizabeth and walked away from her, leaving her exhausted state on the altar, with his baby growing inside of her.

Andrew grinned sinisterly.

"Its time to settle out at the last counter." He said with excitement tone, with a creepy and insane expression.
