Chapter 27
“P-Please… just kill me… I beg you…”
Huxley crawled towards Ithania’s feet and begged. Right now, his whole face was covered with burned marks, so much that the vampires couldn’t find the where to torture so they moved to his body.
The torture continued until all 30 vampires released all their frustration.
After 3 vampires vent out their frustration, other vampires started to gain some confidence as well and they walked forward.
They wanted to settle the past scores as well, they held the iron rod in their hands and shoved it on his face.
This torture continued for 2 hours, and Ithania glanced at Huxley emotionlessly.
Right now, he could barely open his eyes.
However, there was no hint of mercy or pity in Ithania’s eyes.
This man was vile and liked to torture the vampires as a hobby. He has tortured and even killed many vampires in the past.
Now that the tables have turned on him, he wants her to give him a quick release?
Hah! Not happening.
She isn’t going to kill him.
He still has his uses.
She then took out a pouch before throwing some leaves on his face and ordered.
“This will be your food for today, eat well. Alan, Mex, take him away and lock him somewhere, however, keep an eye on him, don’t let him die.”
“Yes, Lady Ithania.”
Two vampires walked out and dragged Huxley away.
Ithania had named all the vampires present here, however, other than Valerian, Ferox, and Tassia, the petite girl who stepped up after Ferox, she did not give anyone else her last name.
She also chose these 3 as leaders of the 3 teams she had created in her mind.
After Huxley was dragged away, Tassia walked forward and questioned.
“What do we do now, Lady Ithania?”
A smile appeared on Ithania’s face before she took a jar out of the pouch she was carrying.
“You all must be hungry right? Here, drink it. However, I only have this much, so all of you won’t get a big share.”
Ithania then distributed the blood to every vampire present here before she saved some for Alan and Mex.
“Now drink”
As soon as she ordered, the vampires gulped all the blood in one go and as soon as they tasted the blood, their eyes widened in surprise, excitement and delight.
‘T-This blood was so delicious!
What is this!?’
“W-What is this, Lady Ithania?” Ferox couldn’t control himself anymore and questioned, his mouth salivating a little.
Although other vampires did not ask, their eyes burning with desire were enough to tell Ithania that they liked it.
A charming smile appeared on her face as she replied.
“It’s human blood.”
Suddenly, the smiles on Vampire’s faces faded away and their body shuddered.
‘H-Human b-blood.’
They just drank human blood…
“So? What about it? Did you like it?”
“…” The vampires did not answer.
“Would you like to drink it again?” Ithania questioned and the vampires’ eyes brightened up before they dimmed again.
“C-Can we really drink it again?” Valerian questioned in a doubtful tone.
“Hmm? Why not? Did you not see how I defeat Huxley so easily? Those bastards tortured and enslaved us for so long, so why can’t we drink their blood as our revenge? Why should we be scared?
We, vampires, are stronger than humans, so why should we be allowed to feed on them?”
“B-But, we are only stronger than normal humans…” Tassia muttered.
“Who says we are going to feed on cultivators? Since we are stronger than normal humans, we will attack the normal humans.”
The vampires’ eyes shined, however; there were still a few in this group who were unsure. Ithania had expected that and she was prepared for that as well.
“Look, I won’t sugarcoat it. What I am suggesting is dangerous. Very dangerous.
However, the result will be very delicious.
Of course, I won’t force anyone of you, but remember; only who dares to take risk gets the reward”
Ithania then brought out another jar before she drank it all, alone.
She did not share even a single drop.
“Ahhh~ Delicious~”
The vampires licked their lips in desire. Ferox couldn’t control himself anymore and he stepped out.
“Lady Ithania, I don’t know about others, but I swore to follow you. I will join you and help you with whatever you are trying to do… although I will be grateful if you give me some human blood in return…”
“Of course, those who work shall be rewarded as well. You can drink as much human blood as you want.”
Seeing that Ferox was one stepped ahead of them, Valerian and Tassia panicked before they stepped forward and agreed to join Ithania’s plan as well.
The other vampires glanced at each other.
“Hmph! What are you guys thinking about? We have already tortured that human. We will be killed once we find out, however, isn’t it better to die than live whatever life we are living right now? I for one do not want to live that way anymore. Lady Ithania, I will join you as well!”
A vampire stepped out and a few more vampires followed him as well.
Now, since many vampires had shown their will to join, the other vampires gained some confidence as well and they started agreeing one by one as well.
A big smile appeared on Ithania’s face, although she knew these vampires would join her eventually, she thought it would take a little more time before she could convince all of them.
However, when she saw that everyone had agreed, she couldn’t hide her joy and laughed out loud.
“Hahaha! I promise you, my fellow vampires, you all are in for a delicious treat!”
