5 ROMANIA AND TEPES CASTLE

!!!!!Romania Town Sighisoara!!!!

Romania is a semi-presidential republic with a head of government - the prime minster - and a head of state - the president. Executive functions are held by both government and the president. The country is divided into 41 counties and the Capita of the country is Bucharest.

It is one of the countries that is associated with the European Union along with England who separated from it.  The UK formally left the EU on 31 January 2020, following on a public vote held in June 2016.

Traume can only sigh as he remembers the amount of nonsense Brexit was that was made by the prime minister at that time. Europe was petty enough to cancel supply of produce just make a stance how important they were and what a bad mistake it was to leave.

Taxes on shipments and Employment that created a tough time for someone of his standing at that time.

At that time, he understood how terrifying hunger could be with no food in stock and with zero employment standards. For a European decent like him it was even more so.

Traume looks beside and sees the table that has a passport he stole from a random wealthy businessman and also his credit cards to pay for the food and the hotel he is staying at.

Sad to say he knocked the guy out and took his appearance using a random puppet he bought from the system. Leaving that guy in the bathroom sleeping without any clothes as only a few pounds strapped to his underwear.

He felt zero remorse for his actions.

Riding on First Class was surely a great experience.

Traume got up and went to the window of the hotel and opened it.

It showed a nice wonderful town of Sighisoara where he felt the large concentration of magic coming from as he checked the leylines with a normal ritual of formal craft.

Where there is magic there will always be supernatural being situated close to it.

The moment he arrived he felt a foreign magic trying to latch on to the puppet he was controlling. He allowed it to do so as not to arouse suspicion.

He felt something weird about this town looking at the people around him.

They were all half-breed vampires which are Dhampirs or ones that are distant relatives having more human lineage or mixed blood in their veins.

Looking around he saw that the whole town was in an Illusion to make it look vibrant and happy, but with the help of some glasses that cancel out Illusion he can see how haunting it is.

There were some marks of Incisions on the neck of men and women alike.

Sunken cheeks and hollow red eyes.

There was also slave magic on them as seen from the markings on the necks.

Blood bags.

That were their status in society.

There were also humans in the mix in the slave category and their numbers were plenty, which was obvious as humans were source of food for these blood suckers.

But he felt absolutely nothing of their state of situation in the food chain.

Monsters do not necessarily come with horns and tails.

There are different types of monsters in this world as said by L Lawliet from death note.

"There are many types of monsters in this world, monsters who will not show themselves and who cause trouble. Monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood, and, monsters who always tell lies. (Quote L).

Vampires fall on the ones that suck blood in this category not metaphorically but literally. The one in human world do this by giving low paid jobs and unfair Labor rights, not to mention Health Insurance that sucks money and sometime feigning ignorance when coming to take that money.

Not to mention the child Labor that goes on around the world.

He had seen enough darkness in this world to show him the mask people wears on a daily basis.

Therefore, he is no hero to save people from the misery created by the world and the irresponsibility of their ancestors.

If you are hunted fight back.

If someone tries to take your share unfairly steal from them.

If someone tries to pressure you with made up rules that was made for their own convenience.

Slaughter them.

This is his motto that he lived by.

True Evil are those who try to make people believe that they have their own free will, but instead they are living an Illusion.

An Illusion of free will.

Looking out of the window he can see clearly the people working to the bones as machines.

Empathy died in him long time ago, but seeing how people are easily controlled like puppets using simple spell and without any psychological effect of words causes a chill down his spine.

These people's problem is not his problem.

He only fights for himself and those that are close to him.

Why would he help strangers who may one day backstab him if his existence and morals become inconvenient for them?

What is important is his goal to retrieve the Longinus Sacred Gear Sephiroth Graal, he is too weak to protect himself or anyone.

If he remembers the plot correctly and the characters from DxD Marius Tepes the oldest of King Tepes overthrew his father for his ideology for coexistence with humans, he thought humans as lower begins that is beneath him.

There was also the case of disgust for Valerie Tepes who was born from the human Lover of the King.

A twilight saga story right there.

Even thinking about that story makes him want to puke!

Looking around he could make a few guesses that the son overthrew his father and took the throne which was done after he got news Valerie had a Longinus sacred gear.

  Marius was one of the sons of the 4th King of Tepes and the fifth candidate in succeeding the throne. After Valerie activated her Longinus, Marius started doing various research on the Holy Grail, forcing Valerie to overuse the Grail to the point where she suffered a mental breakdown.

During that time, he had made contact with Rizevim Livan Lucifer, who helped Marius in his research in exchange for reviving the Evil Dragons. Afterwards, Marius created a coup d'état along with many members of the Tepes Faction and chased his father and his brother away.

Looking at how things are tense from the body language of the citizens here, he could guess things are heating up here.

He was sure it was too early for vampire civil war as there would be two factions fighting for dominance.

Carmilla Faction and Tepes faction.

He can deduce that the civil war was at the beginning stage where Marius is trying to overthrow his father by stripping his rights and Carmilla faction trying to seize the control for themselves.

An internal stripe so to speak before the main flood gate breaks.

This may provide an opportunity for him as in this internal strife he can sneak in and take the Longinus.

Best part would be Marius not finding about the Longinus.

The best moment to strike is at night as vampires are creatures of darkness, they would surely come to pick their blood bags to quench their thirst and check the stock.

He needs to look for bats at that time.

It took a long time to arrive here from Bucharest with another three-hour journey. Looking at the map and the direction of mana flow he can see further away to a castle with scrying magecraft.

Trifas city which has the fortress of Vlad the Implaer.

Fortress Millenia.

A heist he is too excited to take and will the be the foundation of the rest of his journey.

For that he needs to buy some stuff to steal the sacred gear.

Traume closed the window and opened the Interface to buy a specific magic crest.

[Ainsworth Magic Crest| Faith Points: 5 billion| Implantation Using a piece of Phantasmal: 7 billion]

Magic Crest.

Something that contains the research of an entire family's bloodline.

Using the help of a phantasmal species to implant it from generation to generation would increase the quality and Mystery of that crest.

Looking at the price Traume was not surprised.

Knowing how the original owner dog-walked servants with this one ability Flash Air that was considered trash, he knew he had to have it.

Gilgamesh of all person was even having a hard time with it.

With no hesitation Traume bought it taking the option to implant it with the piece of phantasmal species.

[Where would you like to Implant it?]

[STOMACH| THIGHS| BACK | HEAD| WAIST]

Traume choose the back as it would be easier to activate there quickly there if someone tries to backstab him.

With a glow and a bit of pain something was etched on his back.

Traume opened his shirt and looked at the mirror in the hotel room.

Circuits in the shape of a tree was behind him.

A cruel smile made on his face.

The look on his enemy's face when they realized they backstabbed themselves.

His inner Kirie was laughing in glee.

The smile when that priest stabbed Tokiomi was something Traume was having on his face.

It's almost as same as Kirie handing the same knife as a gift to Rin that stabbed her father.

How generous he would be even if the enemy tried to kill him. He would send their own knife at their back at them as a parting gift.

Traume coughed at his hand and looked over something he needs to be officially a first-rate Magus.

Mystic Eyes.

He was sure he did not have enough points to buy EX level item as it would blow the planet if not for Gaia or Alaya interfering in Nasuverse.

But here no one can influence or lower magecraft here except for Gods which he does not want to try.

Having Black Barrel that can shoot down higher conceptual gods does not look bad to have right now.

Well, he can buy blueprints to make one.

But that is for the future.

Now he needs a Jewel or Gold Ranked Mystic Eyes.

Something that will save his life in a clutch.

Traume looked over the Mystic Item section and glossed the information over.

His mood soured as he looked over the prices of those eyes.

[Mystic Eyes of Enchanment : Jewel Ranked| Ability: Ignition | Faith Points: 50 billion]

[Mystic Eyes of Binding: Jewel Ranked | Ability: Petrification | Faith points: 80 billion]

Looking at these two prices made Traume puke his guts out.

All points to buy research materials down the drain.

This will be an expensive purchase but an investment for survival in the future.

So, he continued to scroll down and read the description along with unknown ones that hypnotized or analyzed an object to the highest degree.

Then there it was a mystic eye that captured his attention with its description being to lucrative for him to ignore.

[Mystic Eyes of Conceptual Distortion: Jewel Ranked |Ability: Conceptual Displacement | Faith points: 75 billion]

[Desciption: These Eyes have the ability to displace and dislocate not only time and space but phenomenon that occurs near the user. One of the Examples is Displacing Gravity or slowing time around an area. There is also the case to displace curses and conceptual attack to a different area or on a person]

Traume was shell shocked when he found this eye in the Mystic Eye section.

He remembers another user named Fujino Asagami who used these busted eyes.

But something similar is here but on a lower scale and a different ability.

Though it cannot bend the world's time and space it can however displace conceptual attacks.

He had to have these eyes even if a huge portion of his points will be burned away.

Traume quickly picked these eyes for implantation.

[WARNING: ONCE USER HAS IMPLANTED THESE EYES, IT WILL STAY WITH THEM FOREVER. DOES THE USER STILL WISH TO IMPLANT THESE EYES?]

[ADVCED USER TO LAY DOWN ON BED AS USER'S CONCIOUSNESS WILL BE SHUT DOWN TO MITIGATE THE PAIN FOR IMPLANTATION OF JEWEL RANKED EYES.]

[Y/N]

Traume went to the bed and layed down and prepared for the pain to come.

Since he already set up a bounded field, he has no worries for people trying to harm him, also he has the daggers invisibility still on him. So, he is safe.

Traume clicked yes and promptly sleep took over him.

Going to a dream to his wonderland.

!!!!!!Six Hours later!!!!!

It was night at Trifas where Traume was staying in his lodging for the day.

As soon as night fell people quickly closed their shops and locked their windows and doors.

Within a few hours the town became a ghost town with no people in sight and the foreigners who were walking around felt some weird compulsion to go to their rooms and go to sleep.

If someone far away saw this, they would consider it to be unnatural but with the magical domain surrounding the land no one would could complain.

The moon that was shining at the color of pale blue hue lighting the dark night.

Suddenly sounds of beating wings interrupted the serene scene all around the quiet neighborhood.

The moon that was in pale blue hue suddenly changed its color to an ominous red.

In the sky several bats congregated on a single point and there came three people.

One of them had a childlike appearance with white hair red eyes in a gothic outfit holding and umbrella

Another had silver hair braided with a red velvet dress wrapping her body

The last was a man with blue hair wearing a butler outfit.

Slowly three of them descended on a bell tower looking over the town.

"Ugh why do we have to make sure to rear the town people to the castle for feeding"

"Come now miss Carmilla today is a big feast for the meeting that it is to be held in the castle by Marius Tepes who wants to show his so-called supremacy over his father's dwindling faction"

"Well, he is not doing a good job criticizing my faction who has the biggest group of female vampires vying for supremacy"

"She has a point Krugis we cannot let the Tepes faction have an upper hand for the ruling seat"

"You do have a point miss Elmenhilde and it seems King Tepes is slowly moving towards his own son rather than miss Carmillas faction who he thought would be better for the ruling of all vampires"

"If only the child Valerie was not born half blood, then we could support her in obtaining the throne"

"An impure abomination ruling all vampires? Despicable worms should know their place"

"It's better we discuss the matter later miss Elmehilder and Lady Carmilla, we do have to rear the herd fo feeding, also today is full moon so we have to draw the blood with magic it will take time for us to rear them. Not to mention the resistance they would give from the pain that will snap them out of their hypnosis"

"Disgusting worms should know their place instead of resisting, there is no escape as they can only become our toys for amusement"

A cruel smile made on the lips of all vampires.

"The weak should obey the strong and bow their head to us who are mighty, why resist when you know the inevitable?"

"Should we also take the foreigners miss Carmilla?"

"No not today the church seems to be an Uproar from the stunts of the Devils from the House of Niberius, they are doing an inspection all around to see where orphanages where hunted down by them"

"If I am sure of the rumors miss Carmilla I heard that a Longinus user killed the vampire that was in the orphanage"

"Blasted tools of the Head of the Angels, remembering it makes me shiver"

"Miss Elmenhilde was it true that one of the humans named Abraham von Hellsing possessed one of this Longinus that killed Lord Dracula?"

"Blasphemy Krugis our Lord Dracula was caught off guard by the humans shadow blade and had his heart pierced by it"

"But miss Carmilla you and miss Elmenhilde should know the usefulness of this sacred gears, I have heard that devils are adding them to their peerages. What if we could get a Longinus user on our side? Would not it be better for our faction to reign supreme?"

"You have a point Krugis a splendid idea, we can add worms to our peerage and make a laughing stock to our faction, the very idea insults Lady Carmilla and her faction"

"Enough Elmenhilde we should rear the herd by now as the time for the gathering will be at midnight, also Krugis never ever say this blasphemous idea to my face"

Krugis held his head down not looking at her Lady's eyes.

Carmilla waved her hand blanketing the whole town in a thick fog. She ignored the hotels by manipulating her fogs.

As there might be hidden members of the church in them.

Tonight, would a grand feast of her faction to assert their dominance. No one would be able to stop her rise to power.

!!!!Back to Traume!!!!

It was the same dream again.

The dream he was having while he was young.

Sitting on the stairs of Brandon orphanage waiting for his mother like a good boy.

He waited all day so that she can deliver the letter whoever the person comes out of the building.

He was a good boy who listens to mother's words.

A child no less than six was holding a letter and a lollipop on the stairs of the orphanage.

He was noticed soon enough by the director of the orphanage.

Sound of door opening can be herd as Traume looked back with a smile.

Maybe if she gives the letter to his mother to the lady who opened the door, then surely, she can take him to her mother.

Traume got up dusted his pants and ran to the lady.

"Miss miss my mom told me to give this letter to you, she said she will come back one day if I stay with you for some time"

The lady was Miss Allison who was looking at Traume with a kind smile, but her eyes which was filled with pain was another story.

"Come inside child it's cold outside, I'll make you hot chocolate. Give me that letter to this old lady"

"Mmm hot chocolate? Yummy! Thankyou miss, can you tell me your name, mommy told me to be beware of stranger. But she told me whoever comes out from the door would be a good person. If I be a good boy to them, she would come back to me"

Allsion gave a shuddering breath.

It was cruel to give child hope.

Allsion got down on her knees thinking how to put it into words. This was not the first time this happened. Many children were dropped off like this with a letter and sometimes nothing at all.

Nowdays she looks over to the window to see any new child was left infront of the orphanage in cold or in the rain huddled for comfort.

"Here give me the letter I'll read it after I made a hot cocoa. You can stay here as long as you like until the day your mom comes back"

"Then I'll wait she promised me she will take me to the Ferris wheel"

Suddenly a shadow fell on Traume as he was smiling towards Allsion as he gave the letter to her.

"Here hold my hand I will take you to your room where you can wait for your mom"

"Hold my hand"

The scenery changed with an old Traume in his 60s looking at Allsion with a blank look.

"I don't have the right to"

"Foolish child there will always be a place here for you"

"A place I ruined by my own hands"

"You were young looking for love to heal your wounded heart, it would be natural you would do something foolish drowning in pain, which even now you are still doing"

"I took the hand for granted and spit on it, I cannot hold the hand anymore"

"You can if you believe that you can rise from the darkness that blinds you"

"Take my hand"

Traume closed his eyes tears falling from his eyelids.

!!!!End of Dream!!!

With a shuddering breath he woke up from the dream snapping his eye open which was feeling itchy.

He was feeling cold all of a sudden.

Traume looked at the clock on the wall of the hotel and saw it was nine at night.

He sure slept for a long time with all the mind-numbing trials he faced.

Suddenly a spike of warning was felt form his bounded field.

A smile made way on his face.

It was time to follow some bats.

Traume opened the inventory and took a specific class card which would help him be elusive.

[Class Card: Cursed Arm Hassan]

This mission was only extraction and nothing else.

Looking at his side he saw the dagger still active, with it's help he would be able to sneak past all of the vampires.

It was now and never.

"Class Card Install"

With a flash of light Traume appearance changed into a hooded figure with a skull mask.

Time for the hunt to begin.

!!!!!Trifas Millenia Castle!!!!

Traume was standing on top of the hotel looking over the mist that surrounded Trifas far away.

He can feel the presence of three high ranking Individual that had casted a spell all around the town.

Focusing his eyes, he can see people coming out of their houses with a blank expression heading toward a single direction.

Suffice to say he knew what was about to happen, it disgusted him to a certain extent. But he cannot help this people at this state.

With a burst of speed Traume vanished and followed the trail of people to the castle, upon closer inspection he could see children in the mix.

A sour mood fell upon him.

He will be back for them and when he does.

He will unleash hell upon them.

Looking over the sky he can see a red full moon. Bad time to attack a vampire as under a red moon they would be powerful.

Gritting his teeth, he quickly went towards the castle with one goal in mind.

To become strong.

Jumping from building-to-building Traume made his way towards the castle.

!!!!!An hour later!!!!!

Tarume was tailing the crowd who stopped infornt of the castle waiting for the doors to open.

A problem made way to Traumes mind.

It was the Location of Valerie in the castle.

He can hypnotize the maids and ask them, but a problem was if the maids knew any information about them.

He cannot hypnotize the high-ranking vampires as there is a chance, they might get rid of the control if he messed up.

Also, his magecraft is not strong enough.

But the only thing he can do is follow around the vampires throughout the night. Which was following Marius Tepes.

He has enough patience to look around the castle, the night was still young.

Suddenly the doors of the castle opened with cold mist coming out of the doors giving a haunting scenery.

He can see three people making up the way to the stairs and from them two he could recognize.

Carmilla and Elmenhilde.

Arroagnt bitches.

If not for Khaos Brigade threatening extinction they would have been riding their high horse looking down on all supernatural.

With further inspection he could make out figures coming out of the haunted castle.

He wonders Dracula will come and say "Belgh, Belgh, Blegh".

"Pfft!"

Traume held his mouth to not burst out laughing.

Suddenly under his periphery he could see a figure of a women behind a man that had an aura of a King.

Valerie Tepes.

It seems luck is favoring him tonight.

Now under closer inspection he can see a man with long blonde hair and red eyes with canines on his mouth.

It was similar to the dead apostole "Night of Wallachia".

No comparing these disappointments to "Dead Apostoles" would be insulting.

Standard suit and Black coat over his body.

Beside him he can see the sons of King Tepes.

He does not know the names of the other three but one of them he could recognize.

Marius Tepes with a blue suit and same blonde hair.

Arrogant Demeanor.

Over the top decoration on the suit with diamond and gold.

Cocky smile on his face.

A budget Gilgamesh.

Traume can only shake his head with a smile.

He wonders what the reaction on the face would be when he takes a Longinus right under his nose.

"Thankyou for your help, Lady Carmilla now with the preparations for the Banquet we can discuss matters as we feast"

"Hmph! There is nothing to thank about father, she should know her place is under the king. Why did she bring these filthy vermin inside my castle. It disrespects our ancestors grave just by bringing these meat bags. You should punish her for this insolence!"

Think killing intent spread around with shadows acting erratic all over the place.

"Watch you tongue Marius I'll have your head if you insult me again. I think you forget today is a full moon. If we drink blood directly from the neck then all of these worms might turn to ghouls"

"Now now Marius and Carmilla I know you all are trying to compete for the thrown let us leave the arguments after we feats. Please hold on by then. Marius please hold your tongue miss Carmilla is the one who brings in fresh blood on the table. It is a dangerous job with the Heaven snooping around. "

"Hmph it is not that dangerous to find humans, you would be surprised how they are willing to sell their own kind for gold"

Traume who heard the conversation shook his head in shame.

One of the reasons he does not want to act like a hero and a savior at these times.

If humans themselves sell their own brothers and sisters he has nothing to say. They can burn in hell for all he cares. But for people who are impoverished and desperate he cannot even give an argument for it.

He himself who was desperate did many things he is not proud of.

Desperate people do vile things, if it includes selling themselves or their morality.

Twisted world made by twisted man.

"Come in we can let the guards handle the Blood bags to draw blood from, I am in a mood for young blood"

Traume gritted his teeth after he heard this.

He is going to enjoy ripping this guy apart when he has enough power.

He gave a glance at Marius who was fuming making a fool of himself.

Then he saw Valerie who was squirming under the stares of Carmilla and Elmenhilde.

He followed all of the high-ranking vampires separating from the crowd.

There is a Job to do.

!!!!!An hour later!!!!

Traume was watching all of the proceedings and decorations that were going around the castle.

Butlers setting up tables for guests and soldiers securing the perimeters and lighting up lamps.

Rolling red carpets for guests that are about to arrive which are noble vampires.

One scene he saw that would haunt him for the rest of his lives.

Draining blood from young women, young men and children in Jugs.

Filling up barrels upon barrels as people sometimes scream feeling the life drained out of them.

Color drained away from Traumes face as there was labels on the barrel for each people blood is drawn from.

He watched highschool dxd for fun and supernatural elements with ecchi elements.

But reality is often horrifying.

If supernatural's like vampires did exist in his previous world he would see the same thing.

Then he heard a scream to the side.

Snapping his head, he looked over a young girls held by the neck as her blood filled a tray filled with wine glasses.

He wants to help he really wants to help.

But the moment he moves to save this one life thousands will die with his included.

He was in hell.

Now he understands why Mitsuya Kanzaki tried to abolish the supernatural in ExE timeline.

He would cause mass slaughter against the vampires in he was in Mitsuya's place.

Traume closed his eyes not bearing to see anymore.

He moves to follow the Butler holding the glass of warm blood of the young girl.

He will be back from her, that he promises to himself.

With shaky steps he makes his way to the dining hall.

!!!!!At the dining Hall!!!!

Valerie was shaky under the stares of her brother who looked at her with disgust and the three Lady who was looking at her with intrigue.

She did not want to come to this Banquet but her friend gasper convinced her to come and have fun with him and dance.

Valerie came out of her nervousness as her father put a hand on her shoulder.

"Valerie dear what's the matter? Miss Carmilla has been asking about you. Why don't you become friends with her?"

"Adding a half blood to her faction? How generous of her"

"Marius! She is your sister have some respect for her"

"Calling her sister disgusts me, how can a-"

"ENOUGH!"

King tepes released his aura causing him to cower under his father's stare.

But the confrontation ended when the door opened revealing a butler with wine and glasses filled with blood.

Traume sneaked in to listen on the conversation going inside.

If he remembers from the novel, a confrontation about the vampire civil war may start with this conversation making two factions.

Looking over it seems Marius has yet to discover Valeries Sacred Gear.

If it was discovered earlier then this meeting would not be held here.

King Tepes was the one who ordered Marius to research sacred gear of Valerie and remove weakness from the vampires.

It was at that point things really heated up with the Carmilla faction form what he read in the novel.

Looking at the female vampires he can see how gorgeous each of them are including Valerie.

But the thing that interests him the most is the Longinus.

He observed the looks of everyone's faces and from the looks of King Tepes who was boring holes towards Marius he can guess something might have happened.

But the mood changed as glasses of blood of the young girl was passed to the table.

There were smiles on the blood suckers faces which disgusted Traume.

King Tepes held the glass and raised it up to all present.

He took a spoon and struck it to the glass to take everyone's attention.

"I have an announcement to make"

Traume was interested what this pedophile would say.

"My daughter Valerie has a sacred gear which she discovered while she was learning magic, we do not know which it is. But from the signature we can assume it is a powerful one. She can heal others with it's power but cannot materialize fully. It can heal even us Vampires. A valuable tool"

There was silence for a few moments with Traume's breath hitching.

Now he really wonders if it was fate, he was here this early to start his journey.

Is someone controlling his fate? Form the Gods that exist here he would have no doubt it was.

The first to break the silence was Carmilla.

"Interesting so do you know which one it is?"

Carmilla gave a calculating look in her eyes.

If it was a Longinus, she would have no problem taking a Half Blood in her faction.

She might take her Butler's advice.

"Why thinking of really recruiting a Half Blood if she has some value? Rejoice sister you finally have meaning in your life"

Valerie shrunk from the attention and insult.

Traume just shook his head.

"We have not discovered yet, but soon as she gets control of her magic, she would be able to materialize it. She could only use healing with her hands glowing gold"

"If it is a Longinus then it a great asset to our clan"

"Hmph! Like she ever will be"

Marius gave a scoff looking away from King Tepes stare.

"Now let us feast, a toast to bright future"

With the final words all of them took a sip to the drink.

Valerie took the cup meekly and drank the blood with her eyes widening it tasted sweet.

But soon her mood turned bleak as he heard her father's words.

"Nothing tastes better than a young girl's blood"

Valerie spit out the blood all over the table as the cup dropped from her hands.

King Tepes gave a sigh.

"Valerie dear you need to get used to our customs; I know it is hard for you as you have your mother's kind heart. But soon you need to become one of us"

Marius have a scoff as he drank the blood smoothly.

Carmilla was amused as looked over at the spectacle.

Valerie was shaking as he looked over the blood on her dress and hands.

"Maids take her to her room so she can calm down"

"I will talk to you later after I am done with this meeting dear"

Two maids materialized from the darkness and took Valerie by her hands leading her away from the dining hall.

Traume followed the maids giving a side glance to the blood suckers.

He is going to steal the opportunity right of their nose.

He soon followed Valerie to her room.

!!!!Valerie POV!!!!

She is afraid really afraid.

Looking over the people when she sees people are brain washed to be food for her father which included her mother horrified her.

Her mother died because of too much blood that was taken from her.

Living in this place was agonizing and painful.

The only person aside from her father that cares for her is a Dhampir liker her.

Gasper.

How she wished he was here to calm her down.

She wants to get in her coffin and stay there.

Sounds of door opening snapped her out of her thoughts.

The maids did their work dutifully closing the door and throwing her to the bed.

"Disgusting why do I have to serve these mongrel girl"

"Come on Misla if you bully her like this the Lord might notice"

"Shut up! Isla! Why did the Lord take a human lover, the worm might have used underhanded means to drug him to sleep with her"

"You may have a point"

"The Lord should have taken us maids to bed instead on a worm that does not know her place"

Valerie was cowering on her bed as she looked over these maids.

She could not say anything about them to her father or other maids will bully her gain.

One day her father saw bruises on her and asked what happened and after she said she was bullied by the maids the maids were punished.

But instead of the bullying stopping it escalated when the new maids Isla and Misla came.

Now she cannot say anything as there might be worse maids out there.

"Oi maggot change your own clothes and order some blood for us, especially blood that you were having"

"Yeah, you father might complement you if you follow our customs, maybe you'll rise from a whore's daughter to obedient dog"

"Pfft! A dog that will be a toy for a spoiled noble to make connections"

"This Dog is about to send you to the underworld"

A fourth voice startled all of the people present, before anyone can search for the voice.

A chill came upon their spine.

"ZABANIYA"

A glowing red hand came and touched one of the maids back.

SQUELCH!

A hole was made on one of the maids' chests as she fell over.

"MISLA!!!!"

Last words were spoken as a sound of a slash came form behind cutting the second maid in half.

Valerie who saw this as petrified as she held her mouth tears streaming from her face.

"Sorry I cannot wait for them to stop bitching and having a drinking party, I am short on time. So, take a nap, will you?"

The invisibility came undone as a figure with a dark cloak and a skull mask appeared.

Valerie had never felt this much fear in her life.

Before she could scream the figure suddenly vanished and came face to face infront of her.

With the pommel of the knife Traume struck Valerie on her nape making her lose consciousness.

"Now onto the prize, let's take the cup with displacement magic"

Valerie lied on her bed and Traume came close and put his hand on her chest.

It seemed bad for him to violate a girl like that, never in his previous life he did this stuff.

He did not have to, he always had game.

Traume closed his eyes and focused on the soul of Valerie.

The theory was simple he will displace the position of the Longinus to his soul.

There would be no damage done to either him or the previous user.

A quick solution.

Just like Julius Ainsworth did to his children.

But for him it will be a small object transferred to his soul.

Traume activated his magic crest and focused on the spell that displaces soul or an object like class cards form the soul.

Soon a spell formed in his mind and a diamond helix formed on Valeries Chest shining.

"Analyzing the Coordinates"

"Displacing the Object"

Traume raised his hand as three golden cups came out from Valerie.

Slowly he bought it to his hand and quickly put it in his inventory.

It would be a wrong move to transplant the cup here, there is a chance the cup might reject him as he was stealing it.

With all of these done he activated the invisibility of King Arthur's Dagger.

A very useful tool.

There was one last person to kill to make a commotion for his escape.

!!!!!King Tepes POV!!!!!

He knew what Scared Gear Valerie Had with her, his son Marius checked it and showed the results.

It was a Longinus!

Even a normal grunt in supernatural world has heard of it.

Whenever such tools of power come into existence the supernatural world is swept into a storm.

Today's Banquet was for this very same reason.

To show the power of Tepes.

He noticed the movement Carmilla was doing behind his back to overthrow him.

A sneer made way on King Tepes face.

The moment he revealed this information to that whore, she tried to take his mistake by making her a candidate for the throne.

The best his spawn could be was a tool for his faction's glory and show the supernatural his overwhelming power.

The only reason he ever shows a smile to Valerie is to make her an obedient pawn under his hand.

Soon everything will fall in place and this bitch Carmilla will Know her place.

King Tepes soon made his way to Valeries room after he left the negotiations to his son which he knows will fail because of his arrogant attitude.

The important think to do now is to make Valerie dependent on him as her only support.

The maids he put around her would do the Job driving her into a corner.

He would snoop in and save the day.

A cruel smile made on his face.

If the mistake did not have any value, he would have thrown her to the wolves long ago.

He can only be patient until a solution to extract the sacred gear is found.

His son said he had a solution and he will wait and see what he brings to the table.

The battle of the Banquet had already been won by him.

Now he needs to make sure the tool is working for him.

Suddenly he smelt iron from his spawn's room.

King Tepes quickly burst through the door under his enormous speed the door broke to pieces.

He looked over and saw two maids dead with one having her heart gouged out and one cut in half.

Did his daughter do this?

He looked over and saw Valerie unconscious.

She might have done something with her powers and sacred gear as there is no other presence and smell he can find here.

King Tepes walked over to Valerie and looked over for any injures.

There was a bruise on her neck but nothing more.

The maids might have been rough on her.

But something does not add up.

Before King Tepes could connect the dots it was already over for him.

"ZABANIYA!"

Traume held nothing back and unleashed the noble phantasm.

King Tepes had chill up his spine and tried to dissolve to bats but it was already late.

Traume came close to him in a moment as he tried to look over Valerie.

He was already 1 feet behing the King.

Escaping a noble phantasm at point blank range is impossible.

SQUELSH!

A hole was made in the Kings chest.

Blood seeped through his mouth as he failed to comprehend what just happened.

He looked back and saw a wraith with a skull face covered in a dark cloak.

The horrifying part was that it had his heart in its hand.

Traume crushed the heart the moment the damn pedophile looked over and noticed the heart.

He crushed it without a second's notice.

The Look of despair was a wonderful image he will remember in his mind.

"W-ho!"

With those last words and a Vampires heart crushed he soon got reduced to dust.

"Rest in pieces scum!"

With the death of the Vampire Leader Traume vanished again.

He quickly made his way towards the balcony and jumped down.

Now was a night of escape.

If he makes his way out of Romania.

The world was his.

With the agility of assassin, he would have no problem to escape.

Under the dark he is a Ghost.

A ghost that will soon rise from the grave for vengeance.

He looked at the sky and saw the moon was losing it's red hue.

"So it was a spell huh?"

Suddenly screams could be heard from the castle and he was sure they found his handy work.

It was time to run as fast as he could.

Making it to the Airport to Australia.

He is sure going to make headlines.
