Rewind System: Vampire Harem In The Apocalypse

“Revert.” Xavier coldly muttered.

*Splatter!*

Gale’s eyes opened wide as bursts of unimaginable pain surged through his chest. Looking down he could see Xavier’s arm sticking out of his chest. Xavier had grabbed a hold of his heart.

“Answer my question, and I’ll make this painless.” Said Xavier.

“You… Why go this far…? Killing us will only create more enemies… They won’t just be after the Redbloods… They’ll be after you and your family…” Said Gale as he coughed out blood.

“It doesn’t matter who they send… I’ll devour them all.” Responded Xavier as he looked Gale right in his eyes.

Glancing at his determined and fearless look Gale could tell that his words wouldn’t get through to him. He wouldn’t be able to convince Xavier to let it slide.

‘I’m dead… After I die all the other Vampires on stand-by will attack… He’ll slay them all and grow stronger… At this point will there even be anything left to stop him..?’

“Now for my question…” Xavier muttered as he tightened his grip over Gale’s heart.

Gale’s eyes bulged out with red veins as he showed an even greater pain-filled expression. He clenched his teeth desperately in hopes that it would ease the pain, but it was to no avail.

‘How is he so strong…? I heard that it was only recently that he’d even managed to become a Vampire… Where did all of this power come from? He’ll really kill me at this rate… I need to buy some time…’

“If I’m going to die anyways… I want to know if my death was wasted… How do you even… Feel about Sangrea?” Gale asked with blood gushing out of his mouth.

“Asking a question when you haven’t even answered mine-“

“I’ll tell you… Anything… Just answer…”

Xavier looked at the feminine braided haired Vampire standing by the crater’s wall behind all of them. He was slowly moving his flute over to his mouth to blow on it.

‘So he’s buying time… To launch a signal for reinforcements, I assume?’ Xavier wondered before grinning.

“Go on, call for back up. It doesn’t matter who comes… They’ll all just be devoured.” Said Xavier filled with confidence.

Even if he were to end up dying he could simply start over.

‘Fuck, he noticed and he’s still letting us? What the hell is wrong with-‘

Gale’s thoughts were interrupted by Xavier’s words

“And to answer your question… A tool.”

Gale’s eyes widened.

‘A tool?’ He pondered, internally debating whether or not he had heard Xavier correctly.

“Yeah, a tool.” Xavier responded.

Xavier’s shadowy face lit up for a moment as thunder struck in the distance, highlighting his expressionless face.

“To me, she was just a useful tool to use in order to rescue my family. She was powerful with connections, so I played along acting as her husband. She is and will always be nothing more than a tool for me to use.”

Gale’s surprised expression slowly shifted into a smile as he muttered.

“A tool huh… You’re a bad liar… You think I didn’t notice? At the table when I asked for her hand in marriage, you sent me a glare unlike any other I’d ever experienced… You say she’s just a tool but in reality…”

“You care for her deeply, don’t you-“

*SPLATTER!*

Xavier closed his hand, crushing Gale’s heart before he could finish his sentence.

[You killed a High Ranking Vampire Noble!]

[+630 XP!]

Hearing the notification, Xavier ripped Gale’s heart out before throwing it away onto the floor. He then watched as Gale’s body collapsed before him.

“Shut up… You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

[Would you like to devour the blood of the targeted corpse?]

A notification suddenly rang inside of Xavier’s head.

‘That notification… Is that gluttony?’

[Skill Gluttony has a new evolved feature. (Level 3)]

[Ability Devour allows the user to devour the target’s ability.]

[Ability Devour Additional feature provides a set chance of the user harnessing and absorbing the ability of a target which has been devoured. The chance of succession increases as the skill level progresses.]

[Would you like to consume the blood of the corpse?]

Countless screens popped up in front of Xavier with an entire description of what Level 3 could do, Xavier had always waited for these set features to pop up ever since it’s possibility was first mentioned.

Under normal circumstances he would have been excited, but what Gale had said had stuck to him.

“…”

Shaking his head, Xavier let out a sigh before muttering.

“Yeah, Devou-“

*VWOOOOOOO!*

Before he could finish his sentence however, he was interrupted by the sound of a horn as the feminine braided haired Vampire blew into the flute.

Following the horn, Xavier looked around as countless pair of crimson eyes began to light up all around.

“So that’s the signal…” Xavier muttered as he looked around.

One by one, Vampires wearing the night blue uniform were emerging from the mansion’s vicinity and walking towards it. They came in all types of ranks, from regular Vampires to even nobles.

‘Three.. Five… Ten… Twenty… Ah fuck it.’

“No point in counting, they brought out a whole fucking unit.” Said Xavier as he began doing some stretches.

“Hey, what are you doing?! Why aren’t you running?!” The Feminine braided haired Vampire asked while still pinned to the wall of the crater. The rod just wasn’t budging and he’d exhausted all of his energy on the flute.

“What does it look like I’m doing?” Xavier asked as he picked up Gale’s longsword.

The brown braided haired Vampire watched as Xavier gave the sword a few swings before walking towards him.

“S-Stay away… Don’t come any closer… Even you can’t take them all on yourself-“

*Fwoosh!*

The feminine braided Haired Vampire’s eyes widened as Xavier suddenly appeared crouched down in front of him, grabbing a hold of the electric crimson rod with his hands.

“Blah, Blah, you can’t do this, you can’t do that. You should be more worried about whether you’ll be meeting god or going straight to hell.” Said Xavier as he pulled out the rod.

The braided haired Vampire let out a grown of pain before staring at Xavier in fear.

“I have an idea, why don’t we find out?” Xavier asked before instantly decapitating him.

*SLASH!* *SPLATTER!!!*

[You killed a High Ranking Vampire Noble!]

[+ 590 XP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL 10 – > LEVEL 11]

With the notifications ringing inside of his head, Xavier turned back to the groups of Vampire ahead of him. They didn’t seem the least bit threatening and were all inferior to the Marquess rank.

That didn’t mean they weren’t strong… It just meant that Xavier had already surpassed their strength.

Ever since evolving the time frame for which he could have thoughts had increased, their movements seemed far slower than usual. His body was filled with power, he felt invincible.

“Gluttony… Devour the blood of the four marquess’s… There’s a whole banquet ahead of us…” Said Xavier

“Do you hear something?” Viera asked Sangrea as she leaned against the shadow domain’s wall with her ear. “Why’d your face suddenly turn all serious?” Viera added.

Sangrea shook her head.

“I can barely make out the sound of weapons colliding… The fight is still ongoing.”

“How long will it last?” Elaine asked.

“Who knows… It all depends on how many he’s facing.” Replied Sangrea

“We’re at war… Surely, they wouldn’t send out that many dangerous Vampires, would they?” Viera Questioned.

“Knowing them, getting rid of us would be one of their priorities, so they probably would… But I wouldn’t worry.” Said the butler with a cold smile.

He was growing tired of staying in the shadow domain, holding himself back from going out there and killing all those who dared to trespass into the redblood’s territory.

Sangrea looked down to the shadowy floor with a worried looking before raising up her ten fingers.

“Ten minutes… After ten more minutes we’ll check on him if he doesn’t say anything.”

Viera and Elaine smiled in relief and the others nodded.

Sophie who was sat by the corner of her room silently pondered with a worried expression.

‘There’s not much information on Xavier so I doubt they’d send anyone incredibly strong… That being said, rumours of Sangrea being unsealed also did spread so there’s a chance that they might send someone powerful enough to fight her…’

‘The only ones powerful enough to fight Sangrea, the daughter of an archduke with powers which still haven’t been measured… Would probably be nothing less than the Duke rank.’

‘But surely they wouldn’t send in a duke would they? That’s one of the strongest cards they can play in the war… There’s only 3 Dukes in the whole of England, to deploy one here… It’s unlikely… So why can’t I shake this bad feeling off my chest?’ Sophie questioned inwardly.

In the backyard of the Redblood’s mansion, Xavier could be seen sat on top of an injured, barely conscious low ranked Vampire Noble. Xavier had countless swords, spears and even knives sticking out of his body.

A stream of blood was flowing into Xavier’s mouth as the countless stab wounds on his body quickly healed.

“Impossible… This shouldn’t be possible…”
