Chapter 136: Gift (2/2)
”Hehe,” she chuckled but didn't say anymore. However, it was evident to see that she would not let the manager go so easily. No one like to be conspired against them, after all.
——
The manager looked at the disappearing carriages in the distance and a glint flashed inside his eyes.
He hurried into the inn, and directly went into the area where he lived. Then he entered a room. He looked at the picture on the wall with a face full of hatred. ”Due to your greed you died a horrifying death, but why should I pay for what you have done in the past.” Then he turned towards another picture on a different wall and a gentle expression appeared on his face. ”I am sorry, I couldn't save you. I really am.”
He gently touched the picture of a woman on the wall and tears fell from his eyes. ”You know there was a group of powerful mages, I have given them that cursed thing in the disguise of a gift. I hope they would be able to handle it, or… anyways, even if they die, it won't be anything new.”
”Oh, it seems it isn't the first time you have done something like this.”
”Who?!”
The manager was horrified when he heard the voice from behind him. He clearly remembered that no one was inside the room when he entered… Someone had followed him and he failed to notice it, a chill ran down his spine.
He looked at the speaker and his face turned paler. ”Yo-you are the girl from before. What are you doing here,” he was afraid but tried to control the urge to run away and said with a forced smile.
Cecilia smiled and then two teeth began to grow out of her mouth and then she said. ”I came here to send you to your beloved.”
”Vam-vampire!” he shouted and stumbled back in horror. ”Stay away from me.”
”Hehe, you are cute,” Cecilia said, then she shook her head. ”But not cute enough. Do you think I will drink your disgusting blood myself?”
Before he could understand what she meant, Cecilia waved her hand and a bat appeared out of nowhere, ”I had given up on this spell once, as it is too evil. However, in recent days, I realised that it won't be a bad thing if I use people like you to practice it, with that I will have more strength to protect myself and…” she paused for a moment, and a gentle smile appeared on her face,” ...and my friends.”
”No, no, please,” the manager paled. ”Listen to me, this is a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding.”
The vampire lady shook her head when she saw a frantic look on his face and commanded the bat that was flapping its black wings in the air as it stared fixedly at its prey. ”Go!”
And then the miserable cries began.
After a minute, only a husk of skin and bones remained on the floor, eyes had shrunken and the hairs had fallen, similar to a mummy. The bat's eyes had turned redder after drinking the blood and then it vanished into Cecilia's body.
”What a weakling, his blood is like a drop in the ocean for me, couldn't even produce a single wave. If I want to make my clones stronger I need to suck the blood of many other humans, but I don't want to hurt any innocent people. Nefia and others won't like it.” She said and scattered into hundreds of bats before vanishing. Only a mummy looking corpse remained in the chamber.
