132 The Dunkans I
Victor did need some kid of army, and he selected the vampires, but they were not that subservient and that was a minus for him since he didn’t have the time to oversee them and didn’t necessarily want to rule through fear all the time. The fear they had was of good dose already.
Getting another family under him was just something he thought would be good, but he had to ask himself.. why?
Even with the strong members of his legion at the moment, he couldn’t remember when last he had to use them as intended, to fight or carry out such tasks for him except for the Beechmon family incident.
‘Is there really a need to have so many underlings?’ Victor asked himself as though it was a deep question. He was one that preferred to handle things himself to begin with, and that was the major reason why the others weren’t able to be useful.
For now, he just looked at the guards stationed around and disappeared from where he stood as his form faded into the shadows as though becoming one with it.
While Langscter was carrying out his given tasks, Victor was gathering evolution material little by little as he picked off the guards one after the other. The guards were positioned perfectly so that the others close by would notice if one of theirs was missing, but somehow Victor managed to pull it off and pick out all of them fast and stealthy enough in a short time.
Victor didn’t bother with eating the bodies right away as he just stashed them in his inventory. Good thing his inventory was massive, as the bodies didn’t stack up when placed inside. Some time after the last guard was placed inside Victor’s inventory, his demon shadow returned with information, and it looked like this particular family would be of no use to him. He really wanted there to be a reason why he could just eat them all, and it presented itself.
‘Heh… Having these little emotions makes things so much different.’ Victor complained to himself as he walked closer to the castle.
He could sense many vampires inside, and could already tell it was going to be utter chaos very soon, so out of the three buildings positioned besides the different cliffs, Victor went straight for the one closest to where he killed the last vampire.

[MEANWHILE, on the other side of the portal]
“It’s been so long, too bad all the food here have been taken. But no problem, I can smell more… HAhaHAaha.” A vampire standing just outside of the portal gate said as he took in the air from the surrounding. “Well, what do we have here? The lucky deserters.” He said as he brought his face forward. Before him stood one of the elders from the Emrick Vampires, the vampire family that had been on this earth for a while.
‘Just our bad luck. A terrible one in fact.’ The one before him thought.
“I see the pigs have kept you all alive this far.” The elder said.
“Heheh, Sebastian, you don’t change at all do you? I would kill someone else for speaking that way to me, but since it’s you, I’ll allow it.” The vampire said.
‘He’s not joking, and what’s with that strength I feel from him?’ Sebastian asked himself. Being one of the most powerful vampire in the Emrick household, it was telling that he could even feel even the slightest bit of oppression of the younger vampire before him.
“What about your, father.” Sebastian asked.
The young vampire before him only looked at him briefly as he wore an unimpressed look on his face.
“My father passed away, i am now the head of the family.”
“I see-“
They chatted a bit longer, and after Sebastian offered fresh blood from the source, not a single one of the vampires before him refused. They could sense that no human was still alive in the city as of that moment, so they simply went with the best plan to drink some sweet blood.
‘He must be confident in his strength to follow me so easily.’ Sebastian thought to himself as he stole a glance at the vampire behind him, but to his surprise they were all looking at him with smiles on their faces. Even for an experienced vampire, that situation was enough to creep out, but sure enough Sebastian was able to control himself properly.
While leading the way, a transmission got to him telepathically from one of his students, Damien. He basically inquired about the current situation at the gate, and the answer his student got ended up shocking him as it was totally out of the things he expected. In his head, he couldn’t help but think how they were so unlucky for the portal on the other side to open near the Dunkan family house, which was the name of the family that were following behind Sebastian at the moment.
Damien went to the vampire lord of their family immediately to report the situation.
“Let me in, it’s important.” Damien said as he approached the vampire lord’s private room which was being guarded at that moment. The guards standing at the door did as they were told at once and allowed Damien to pass through. He had a serious look on his face, so the guards could only wonder what the trouble was at that point.
“Greetings lord.” Damien said as he took a knee. “My master has encountered some unpleasant figures- Damian said before giving a little pause, but before the vampire lord spoke again, Damien completed what he was saying, it’s the Dunkan family.” He said.
The vampire lord after hearing this only let out a heavy sign as though already pitying himself in advance.
“It’s a real problem then. They would be going crazy soon enough, for now arrange a good supply of blood for their arrival. I’m sure they are tired of pigs.” The vampire lord said before dismissing Damien.
..
After a while had passed, Sebastian arrived with the Dunkans into the Emrick family house. “Here we are.” He said. Though they were a bit confused after getting there as it was a strange structure, but they soon went down and it was so.
Sebastian took the entire group to the vampire castle where they would meet with the lord of house Emrick. As the Lord of the other house was present, it was only fitting.
