Novel Full Chapter 524 - Red And Black
-----
Red looked at the disappointed face of the phantom made of darkness in front of her, as she smiled cockily and laughed.
"Hah! What else could you expect? I am not good at hiding my true intentions, telling you my interest is the best for the two of us." She said.
"I guess… I suppose I can share it with you, but only if you bring me victory, Red… Only four Vampires won't do a thing though! Couldn't you bring more?" asked Black.
"Currently I have my mortal personnel busy, and you know how angsty the world's will gets if we dare touch a mortal as immortals, this also includes my immortal subordinates… so for now, you'll have to deal with these four." Said Red.
"You're kidding me?! How could four make a difference?!" asked Black.
"They will! They will make a big, big difference! They are strong by themselves, specially the big one, I am proud of him, really! He is my next candidate to become an Immortal in the near future, and the other three with him are very strong too, way above average. I've given them special armor as well as Demon Weapons… I believe that's more than enough to fight two pitiful sects, right?" asked Red.
Red was completely unaware that the threat of Drake, the one that had slain her Vampires in the Ice Moon Sect's raid was in here as well, and Black himself didn't knew his name either, nor he knew that Red knew about him, so within his mind there was never the thought about revealing info about an enemy he was too embarrassed to talk about because of how much he humiliated him.
He honestly didn't knew if these four Vampires would be enough to defeat him, but they were certainly very strong, and additionally, Black himself didn't knew that Drake had killed and eaten Vampires, nor that he had a Vampire Ghost with him, nor that he possessed Vampire skills that could help him deal with Vampires… so he thought that this might be enough…
"There's a problem though, a savior of sorts showed up in both sects and unified them, protecting them from a wave I had sent to one of them… His name is unknown to me, but he seems like a nuisance… Can your guys deal with him?" wondered Black.
"Of course! They love to slay goody-two-shoes idiots, they got a big kill count of righteous mortals. The big one had killed over a thousand, his battle experience is pretty good." Said Red.
She felt like she was selling off her goods to Black, who was extremely picky.
But at the end Black had no choice but to accept them anyways, the more help he got, the better in the long term… He hoped.
"Hmph..." sighed Black, this "hmph" was his way to say "okay".
"Very well then, Black, see ya!" said Red, as the transmission stopped.
"As annoying as always…" sighed Black.
Meanwhile, Red, the Vampire Empress looked into the red ball in front of her quickly grow less and less bright, until the light on it dissipated.
She stood out of her throne as she looked into the moonlight atop the sky as she drank a glass of fresh blood.
"Fufu, to think you would come back to us so soon, Black… All of your precious goods will soon be mine…" she said.

[Day 196]
I woke up to find Benladann and Miranda sleeping together at my side. No, nothing lewd happened last night, but we decided to bring her into bed because she was feeling a bit detached and wanted to snuggle, so we put her in the middle between both of us, and she cuddled happily with us, despite being red all the time over the embarrassment she felt.
I petted her and Benladann a bit, before walking out of bed and checking Belle.
She was leisurely sleeping, but she seemed to have recovered quite well by now.
"Belle, how are you feeling?" I wondered.
The little fox opened her eyes faintly at my words, as she looked at me pitifully.
"Ah, master… I am fine, thanks for taking care of me, but I think I need more rest…" she sighed.
"That's fine by me, rest all you want." I said, petting her silky hair.
"Master you've been so lovely to me lately… Have you finally fallen for me?" she asked teasingly.
"Eh?! I am just being nice, what's wrong with that?" I sighed.
"T-There's nothing wrong with that! I-I am just joking to lighten your mood, you feel like what happened to me was my fault, but don't worry, it really wasn't." she said.
"It was something we couldn't predict for now… I am just happy I managed to heal your soul wounds…" she added.
"It makes me happy that you helped me despite how much you would had ended injured… But who is this Venerable I meet? The real one? Wasn't she dead?" I wondered.
"Hmm… It is complicated. I cannot really tell you what she is for now, or I will face another punishment from the contract binding me to her…" she sighed.
"Oh… Well, don't tell me then, sorry if I made you think I was forcing you or something, it is better if you keep yourself healthy for now… Tomorrow we'll finally be departing to the Dark Shadow Sect and invade it and crush it in the process." I said.
"Oh, I see… I hope you do well, master. I am sad I cannot help you for now, if I go as I am, I might only end up being a burden." She sighed.
"Don't worry, you helped me more than you could had ever done so." I said.
"Hehe… it makes me happy to be recognized… And I am hungry, can I get some breakfast?" she asked.
"Ah, you've grown spoiled already? Asking me breakfast like its my duty to make it for you now?" I asked.
"I-It wasn't my intention…" she cried.
"Nah, don't worry about it, I'll bring it to you, wait for me." I said.
