My Daughter is a Vampire

“Come on! You can manage an Anti-Curse, right? Just use it on me.” Brian asked with confidence in tone. If he gets covered with Anti-Curse, he would be able to use Cursed Hands for a few seconds with ease.

“B—but-but, my physical strength isn’t enough. I might become unable to stand for a while.” Tempest knew he can do a lot more than others. He can even defeat everyone with a single word but he can’t bear the backlash of such attacks or magic.

His body is quite fragile. And, he knows this more than anyone else. Brian sighed and puts both hands on his shoulders.

“Look I know it will be hard to bear the pain but you don’t have to worry about your life. Dave is a barbarian. He can easily protect you. My class is Warlock and my first class ability is Cursed Hand. Using this ability, I can decrease my enemy strength by half.”

“But, the power of curse will also affect me. So, if you use Anti-Curse, it won’t be able to do anything to me. And, I would be able to use my ability for a long period of time. Once their power decreases, I, SilverTongue, and Ms. Sherly can easily defeat them.”

“So, are you in, kid?”

“Y-y-y-es!” Tempest clenched his fists and gathered a bit of courage. He raised both of his hands and touched Brian’s hands. He closed his eyes and mana gathered in his mouth. The amount of mana that was gathering in his mouth was astonishing, almost twice his current mana.

“Anti-Curse!”

“Gah!”

His hand glowed red and strange power entered Brian’s body. But, the next moment, Tempest cough out blood and fell to the ground.

“Dave, I will leave him in your hands.”

Brian walked towards SilverTongue as he continued “I am not sure if this anti-curse would hold on until I touch every wolf, so engage in the battle as soon as I start.”

SilverTongue nodded his head and praised himself for inviting Brian into his team. He didn’t expect Brain to choose Warlock, class. It is just like Bookworm class but they are not dead weight to the team but rather to themselves.

Brian took a deep breath and activates his Cursed Hand. Slowly, purple mana glowed from his hand and dark mana glowed in his feet as well. It was like his feet were sinking inside the dark water.

“Class Ability- Cursed Hands”_-(0)ᴠʟ.

“Shadow Escape”

Whoosh!

His body blurred in front of SilverTongue and the next moment he had already disappeared. His body was sliding on the ground, moving toward the wolf. Even before they could sense him, his hands started touching each one of them.

Pat! Pat! Pat! Pat!

His hands were slapping the butt or face of each wolf as he makes his way through them. But, the wolves weren’t just letting him go. Some of the wolves got his presence and instantly slapped their claws at him.

Use Cursed Hands or Defend!

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

Use Cursed Hands, this is what he chose. After all, he can still recover his health but he can’t recover from the effects of the curse if he uses it twice.

Whoosh!

[Your enemies have been inflicted with Cursed Hands]

[Enemy’s stats have dropped by fifty percent for the next ten seconds]

[……]

[Cursed powers overused! 10MP has been consumed]

[Curse is affecting the Host!] _(O)ᴠʟ

Thud!

After using the cursed hand on everyone, Brian reached the next end of the wolves where he was alone. He found a few panels appearing in front of him while being covered with blood. He tried to look at those panels but his eyes were getting blurry.

‘Stamina? The curse is affecting my stamina seriously. Originally, Cursed Hand only uses 5MP but at this moment, it is using ten now. I guess I really pushed it to the limit. But, I can’t fall down.’

“Yellow Lightning!”

On the other side, Sherly took out a staff with a crystal on the top of it. She pointed the staff at those wolves and burst out her mana using a skill.

Whoosh! Bang!

Mana flow from her body into her staff and came out in the form of Yellow Lightning. The bolt of yellow lightning traveled towards the wolf and struck them. The electric shock from lightning damaged their cells but it didn’t kill all of them.

“Tiger’s Fang!”

(O)ᴠʟ At this moment, a sword slashed down releasing a wild spirit of a tiger. The claws of the tiger were manifested to take the lives of others.

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

In just a single stroke, SilverTongue managed to take down nearly five of the wolves using his attack. But, that wasn’t the end. 10 seconds, they only had 10 seconds until the effect wears off.

“Yellow Lightning” “Tiger’s Fang” “Yellow Lightning” “Tiger’s Fang”

Bang! Splash! Bang! Splash! Bang! Splash!

“Silver, this is my last attack. I’m out of mana.”

“Class Ability- Spirit Bomb!”

Sherly shouted as she condensed a blue ball at the top of her staff using mana. Her mana was now completely depleted. Upon condensing, she threw the blue ball toward the remaining wolves.

Boom!

As soon as it hits the ground, the blue ball exploded but, it only released a powerful shockwave, sending them flying. Nonetheless, it was enough. Because early players can’t rely on themselves for everything. Low mana, less skill, low strength, with these, they got no choice but to depend on others.

“Sure thing! This is also my last attack.”

“Class Ability- Frenzied Sword Slash!”

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

SilverTongue moved with an extreme speed as he swings his sword. He was moving in the air but his body was changing direction with a simple touch of his sword. It wasn’t his own mastery rather thanks to the system, he was able to move in speed and cut nearly ten wolves.

But, just when he tried to cut the remaining, his mana dropped to zero as well as him. He dropped to the ground alongside other wolves. But, unlike him, they weren’t out of battle condition. In fact, as soon as they landed, they immediately pounced on him.

‘Damn! My mana is out. DragonRider97 suffered too much damage while using his ability. He won’t be able to fight. Should I call Dave? But, if he moves, a single attack can take Tempest’s life. Damn! I can only rely on myself.’

‘I might be out of mana but I am still a warrior. I still have a sword. I can still fight.’ SilverTongue gritted his teeth and slowly stood up on his feet. He gripped his sword and swing it against the wolf. Unlike before, his movement was too slow and ten seconds have already passed.

Ka-cha! Splash!

His sword managed to push the wolf away but the next wolf sneaked upon him from the side and sliced his skin. It landed on the ground with a red-blooded claw while SilverTongue gritted his teeth while trying to stand.

Isn’t it just a game? Can’t you create a new character? So, why? For different people, there were different reasons. For SilverTongue, he can’t die. He can’t wait. He can’t lose.

‘I still have my sword. I don’t need mana. Warrior’s courage is still within me.’ SilverTongue roared in his heart and thrusts his sword. His foot stomped on the ground so hard that his sword pierced the neck of that wolf before it could dodge.

Splash! Splash!

But suddenly, another wolf slashed his back. He stumbled forward as his grip loosened. He was barely opening his eyes until something appeared in front of his eyes.

‘Brother, why are we moving here? Did we really sell our house?’

‘Well, brother is planning on making an investment. If this investment works, not only a brother can buy the house back but also treat the mother.’

‘Treat mother, really? But… they said it would take the money worth ten houses to cure her.’

‘Well, that is why it is called investment. Do you know who the richest people in the world are?’

‘Hmm…. Aren’t those from Universal Martial Alliance?’

‘Yes, so why are they rich?’

‘Because they are super-duper strong.’

‘Yes, that’s why your brother is investing to get stronger. If your brother gets stronger, he can join UMA and become rich. Then, we will move back to our house and also cure mother.’

‘Hurray! My brother will finally get stronger. Hurray.’

‘Now, now, let’s eat something!’

‘Brother…. Can we eat something else? We have been eating instant for a long time.’

‘Two days! Give your brother two days then we will have a steak party.’

‘Really?’

‘Yes, trust your brother.’

‘Alright! I will trust you, brother.’

When those words resounded in his mind, his grip suddenly tightened. He pulled out the sword and swing it with all of his force.

‘That’s right! I can’t break my promise here. My little sister will have a steak party tomorrow.’

Giving his sister a better life, curing his mother, and living out of debt. He had no time to die. He had no time to give up. He had no time.

Roar!

Just when his sword slashed the wolf, another wolf pounced from the back. He tried to move but his grip was slowing losing the sword. Until he turned around, the claw of the wolf was above his face.

‘I am such an incompetent brother.’

Tap! Whoosh! Bang! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him and caught the claw of the wolf. He swung the wolf and threw it to the ground.

“Thanks for helping me level up, SilverTongue. Now, leave the cleaning to me!”
