Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 263 Hard Time || Second Strongest Vampire

”Did I stutter when I said I don’t care what others think? I am going to take Rias and Jane with me, no matter what happens,” Rudy uttered with a serious look on his face.

Nyxia raised her brow of one eye and squinted her eyes as she glared at Rudy.

”What’s with that look? Is that supposed to scare me?” Rudy asked jokingly.

”Do you know why I am the second strongest?”

”Because you are strong, duh?”

”When I say strongest, I don’t mean in strength. You can be strong in everything. I am not strong when it comes to strength. But my vampire abilities are far more evolved than any of the vampires in this world. I am the fastest and smartest.”

”Before I gained the title of the Mad Queen, I was called the Wise Sage for the contributions I have made for this world and the vampires. Every book written in this world has to be permitted by me.”

”I am the most knowledgeable. I know every little secret of everything you can ever think of, including the creation of life and the destruction of death. I know of the races you have never heard of. There are races that no one has ever seen. I know the origin of every race and how they come to be. I know how many stars are in the world, and I know how many get destroyed every day.”

”….”

”I contain the power no one can achieve. I have both the knowledge and the experience. Do you think someone like you who got his powers a few weeks ago, who doesn’t even know how to use his powers properly nor the limitations, can win against me? That’s laughable!” she said in a haughty tone and with a proud, confident look on her face.

”Is it weird that I found what you just said more interesting than your life story you said a while ago?”

”Don’t change the topic!”

”Whoa! Calm down. Why are you so agitated all of a sudden? Isn’t it normal for a girl to leave her home and live with the man she marries?” Rudy asked with a curious and confused look on his face.

”That’s a different thing!”

”Wow. So it’s the same custom here too. I mean, the couple stays together, so it doesn’t really matter where or who they live with,” Rudy uttered in a low voice. “So, what’s your problem? You may hate the human world and the humans, but you cannot use that as an excuse to stop me.”

”Can’t you bring your loved ones here in this world? That would solve the problem, right?”

”That’s not happening.” Rudy shook his head and said, “They all have their own life and goals to achieve. I can’t steal that from them in the name of love. Besides, Jane has already agreed to go with me. And once Rias wakes up, I will tell her everything and convince her to join my harem.”

”Hah?!” Nyxia scoffed out loud and said, “Good luck with that.”

”Thank you!” Rudy said with a forced smile. “I really needed that.”

Nyxia frowned her face and glared at Rudy.

Rudy grinned before smirking and said, “Not going to lie, the face you make when you are angry is hot as fuck. I feel like purposely making you angry just to see that face.”

”Wha—!” Nyxia gritted her teeth with a flushed face, seemingly flustered, but she couldn’t do anything else but glare at him.

”This is even better,” he smirked from the corner of his lips.

”Gah!” Nyxia splashed the water on Rudy and said, “I am starting to dislike you.”

”Glad to know it’s working,” he smirked wider.

”…”

”Anyway, Jane has already agreed to be with me, so I just need to ask Rias. And if both of them agree, you can’t stop me, okay?”

”Why do you get to make such rules when you are in my world, my palace, my bathhouse?” Nyxia asked with a judging look on her face.

Rudy shrugged his shoulders and slowly moved from one edge to another.

”It’s not like you can stop me,” he said without looking at her. “You yourself said that you don’t possess any strength.”

”I also said that I possess dangerous vampire abilities. Do you want me to charm you or cast an illusion on you?”

Rudy turned to Nyxia and said, “You can’t charm me, but tell me more about the illusion.”

”Look me in the eyes, and I will give you a practical example.”

”Oh?” Rudy locked his eyes with Nyxia and uttered, “I don’t think it will work on me, though.”

Ripple~! Drop!

Nyxia was sitting on the other side of the pool, but when Rudy blinked for a split second, she was in front of him, or rather, between his legs.

”See? I told you it wouldn’t work on me,” Rudy uttered with a chuckle. He couldn’t move his gaze off Nyxia’s two mountains with erect pink peaks.

Nyxia caught Rudy staring at her assets and asked, “Do you like them?”

”Who doesn’t…” Rudy replied without taking his eyes off them.

Nyxia spread her legs and showed him her clean and alluring cave.

”What about this place?”

”Well…” Rudy pointed his gaze at his erect raging snake and said, “I don’t think it can become any harder. And it’s giving me a ‘hard’ time too.”

Nyxia licked her lips and said, “Do you want me to help you out?”

”I won’t be answering that. If I say yes, then I am doomed. Jane will go into a full yandere mode. And if I don’t answer, I will get blue balled. And everyone hates that.” After a brief pause, Rudy continued, “I always make my own choice when the options are limited, or I am out of them. And currently, the third option is to stay quiet, so even if Jane caught us, I could blame everything on you.”

”Oh?” Nyxia climbed on Rudy’s legs and got on his lap.

”I will say you charmed me or took control over me.”

”Jane would never dare to speak against me, so I am safe no matter what I do.”

”Then please yourself. I am all yours.”
