The sound of a second explosion could be heard followed by the first one , only this time, it was much louder and was followed by the noise of many people running down the corridor. And a second later, the warning alarm sounds echoed in the entire building followed by instructions to leave the building through the emergency exit provided.“'They'? Whom do you mean?” Mila asked, tossing her long white hair while folding her arms across her chest. "You mean the vampires?" she asked nonchalantly."Yes," Aaric answered briefly, he opened the door for Mila's room a little, peeking from behind it. "They are here, we are late."“Should I greet them? At least they have come all the way to make a fuss like this. Honestly, I am a little flattered,” Mila said with an amazed expression.If at first Mila still didn't believe Aaric's words which said that she came from a vampire noble family and was also a future queen of their kind, then by looking at the commotion now, Mila started to believe in
Hearing the guard's question, Mila only glanced at Aaric, not at all intending to help the soul possessor in answering the question.“In this situation, I am required to bring this research object out of the building,” Aaric said calmly. "Don't you know the protocol?" Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly. "That the object of research also has the same priority as every other person in an emergency situation like this?"The guard looked confused in response to this, but he still insisted on seeing the permit that allowed Mila to leave the building."I am sorry Dr. Steve, but I can't let this research object out of the building until I see a letter of permit, stamped by the higher authorities," the guard replied, being annoyingly adamant. He actually did his job well.“How could I ask for such a permit under these circumstances?!” this time Aaric shouted angrily. “That is so unreasonable! Who will issue an evacuation permit for the research object when the research building itself is bei
Mila didn't think that Aaric could negotiate with the guards and convince them to let her out of this building anymore, especially after what Mila did to the previous guard."Don't be stupid Aaric," Mila grumbled. "If you can't finish them off, then I'll do it for you."Mila was just about to step forward to face the guards head on when Aaric pulled her back and led her into another corridor situated in the opposite direction."There is no need to act rashly," said Aaric. He gripped Mila's hand tightly so that she wouldn't be left behind while they ran in the dimly lit corridor. "I don't like violence when it is not necessary."“Yes, yes…” Mila rolled her eyes when she heard Aaric's statement. “Well said by the man who has to kill a person every month to possess a new body.”Aaric laughed when he heard what Mila said. “Yeah, you said that right. A little ironic, isn't it?" he asked.“Before things get even more ironic,” Mila said, changing the subject as they ran. "Could you please ta
“I didn't know that you could turn out to be reliable enough,” Mila said as she walked over to Aaric who had taken care of the last guard and was taking some keys from the waist of one of them.“Of course I can be relied on,” Aaric said, glancing at Mila mischievously. “You can count on me whenever you want.”“I will agree with your statement once you remove this thing from my ankle.” Mila again pointed at the anklet which was still wrapped around her ankle, and still made a very annoying noise.“For that…” Aaric laughed wryly, stuffing all the keys he could find from each of the guards' bodies. Those keys would surely come in handy later. "As for that one, you will have to wait a little longer until I come up with a better idea than cutting off your leg.""Aaric!" Mila shouted while hitting the man's arm hard enough, making him wince in pain."Okay, okay." Aaric raised his hands, indicating he gave up. "Let's go now, before the remaining guards also notice that something was wrong he
Luckily for Milla as well as Aaric, they found a safer way to remove the bracelet on Mila's ankle which kept making deafening noises.As it turned out, the corridor they were passing led them to Professor Ben Kingstone's study, where the latter had kept the key to unlock Mila's anklet.Of course, this could be done without the Professor's permission because he had already evacuated himself along with the others."See? I am very reliable, aren't I?” Aaric said proudly, waving the bracelet, which he had managed to remove from Mila's leg. “I remember, no…” Aaric corrected himself. "The owner of this body, Steve, saw Professor Ben Kingstone put the key in his drawer...""Enough with the explanation," Mila cut off Aaric's words because she didn't need to know the whole story. They had to get out of there quickly if they really wanted to escape, so the story of how Aaric found out the key to the anklet Mila was wearing, didn't really matter. "We have to get out of here immediately."Groanin
Aaric didn't know how to explain this to Mila anymore, but this girl had to understand that things weren't as simple as they seemed.Of course the vampire king would also come to pick up his queen, although this was surprising, given the number of assassination threats against him and how the noble families were so opposed to their king leaving the palace, but if you knew Liam Dageus well enough, then you would know this was within predictions.Liam Dageus ascended the thrown when the previous king was killed in a battle against the human kind as well.So it could be said that the people who meant something to him were always killed whenever there was a war involved humans.For that reason, some of the elders of the vampires had forbidden him from stepping out of the palace or lead an attack personally, because they were worried that the same thing would happen to Liam.Unfortunately, Liam did not heed their ban this time and chose to stay as close to the attack at the research center
Aaric roared loudly when he felt the warm blood soaking his clothes and the excruciating pain began to numb all his senses.His body swayed and fell to the ground. But it didn't stop there, one of the vampires came up to him, the same vampire that Aaric had thrown to the other side of the parking lot earlier, and now the vampire was doing the same thing to him.Aaric's body flew several meters before hitting the windshield of a car, making the safety alarm go off.Shard after shard of the car's glass windshield scratched his body, making new wounds while blood flowed more profusely from the gaping wounds.For ordinary humans, it was unlikely that they could survive such an injury, much less be able to rise again and try to fight back.But, unfortunately for the vampires, Aaric was a soul possessor, so before his heart actually stopped, he would continue to live and that was what happened.Trembling and bleeding profusely, Aaric stood leaning against the car that had been hit by him, m
With his stomach ripped open and blood gushing from his open wound, Aaric felt his vision beginning to blur, especially when the five vampires didn't stop coming at him until he couldn't even stand properly.Just because he wasn't dead and his heart was still beating didn't mean Aaric didn't feel any pain. Of course, the pain he had to feel was almost unbearable.And when one of the vampires grabbed his neck and was about to rip his heart out with his sharp claws, that was when Aaric saw Ellen.The woman was trying to open the car that Mila was in. She was now about to slam a rock against its window to force the door open.At first, Aaric didn't understand why Ellen was doing this. Shouldn't she have escaped along with other doctors or researchers because of the vampire attack? But, what was she still doing here? And how did she manage to find them?But, all those questions were answered when Aaric possessed Ellen's body just a second before the vampire shattered his heart and killed
