1 Dark Soul Hear (2/2)
Even though Nero sympathizes with the part she says she has 'hurt' with humans, he can't trust anyone and has to suspect everyone for his survival now that he's alone in the world, someone who reads his mind on the first meeting can be trusted? Even if she's so beautiful and charming?
”What do you want from me? And as you know, my name, what else did you read from my mind?”
Nero said, trying his best to scowl to show his displeasure. He had a thousand questions but wanted to do the ones he found most important first.
Sarah liked more and more the young vampire, she saw his suspicious as a bright mind, and his hostility was a new sensation, a good one no expected since he did not act like all other men except her father, who saw her with lust-filled eyes, only thinking about her beautiful looks and how to please her to have her body.
”I only read basic information about you, such as names and general knowledge, without going into your privacy. I appreciate you suspect me, and it proves that you are smart and have understood that you can only count on yourself to survive from now on.”
Sarah spoke in the same calm tone, keeping her smile warm as if he were her good friend, and she would never do him any harm, which made Nero even more anxious to know what she wants from him because nothing so good can come for free. He was sure when Sarah's expression turned serious as if she were going to break the news of his unstoppable horrible death.
”I want to offer you 'power' for your revenge on the humans who killed your people. In return, my soul will enter and share your body, and you will come back with me to my world and help me avenge those who killed my family and my people just like yours.”
Sarah prepared to tell her entire story in detail, but before she could continue, Nero surprised her.
”I accept, if you can help me exterminate all these damn humans, I don't mind giving you all my body, soul, or any help, take as long as it takes. But first, give me that power! ”
Nero found everything about this woman very strange. Humans explored other planets in the galaxy but never found life; everything away from the Earth was empty and inhospitable. But that woman of a race he never saw appeared from a magical portal that was absurd and seemed like a dream. But at that moment he couldn't think much about everything strange about this woman.
He just wanted blood. Kill all those humans. Nero was so angry and sad that his fangs were itching to bite all humanity. Her nails, already twice their standard size, clenched in her fists, causing her blood to drip from her hands.
Nero was never aggressive but because of his mother, who always treated him with love. But vampires, though peaceful, were predators by nature, their instincts beastlike, always in search of prey. Vampires were both intelligent and violent. Being a hunter requires patience and planning never to lose their target, but when attacking, being brutal and ruthless.
And now was the time to be brutal. If that woman can help him get revenge, he will do anything to help her too. Nero didn't consider himself a good person, but he paid back twice as much for those who harmed him as for those who helped him, and now he needed a miracle.
”Okay… I'm hurt, and I lose my power every second. We have to be fast. First, I'll change your body to take away your weakness against silver and sunlight.”
With each word, Sarah felt more anxious, and she wanted to act fast to pass every drop of her cultivation that came out of her body every moment, to him, and then use the 'dark soul stone,' hoping that her plan works well.
A heart-shaped stone appears in Sarah's hand, leaving Nero amazed at how this strange stone came out of nowhere. The stone was black with spike-like tips, and the inside was hollow, like a container for holding liquid, but it had nothing now. As soon as he saw the 'stone,' a strange sensation washed over him, amplifying his hate. He fixed his eyes for one second on the 'stone,' but it was enough to seem like hours.
Soon he could hear shouts and sounds of explosion. He smelled burning flesh and dust. Nero was cold, and even though vampires were almost immune to the cold, it was a strange feeling as if that stone could bring out his soul and expose it to all evil, and he could only protect himself by destroying anything hostile to him. Then Nero heard Sarah's voice like an angel coming to his rescue in the darkest hour.
”During the process of rebuilding your body, this 'stone' will be your new heart, and it will be your core of power and allow you to enter the world of cultivation. You must absorb it all without resisting it. I will use my Spirit to make sure that it does not reject you and make you suffer fewer side effects, but it will weaken me, so when you are done, you have to suck all my blood and allow my soul to enter in the stone inside your body.”
Sarah spoke with a worried and anxious tone at the same time and brought the stone close to Nero's heart, which was getting colder and colder.
”If all goes well, after absorbing me, I'll be able to talk to you over the mind. Remember, it will hurt! BE STRONG!!”
Nero felt a deep pain in his chest. He stopped breathing when fear raged in his soul, he thought his heart was beating too fast, but he could not hear. With wide opened eyes Nero saw his heart in Sarah's other hand, the movement was so fast that he did not even understand what happened when she told him to be strong, Nero tried his best to believe her, for the good of his revenge he wanted to believe that was not his end.
Sarah slowly thrust the 'dark soul stone' in place of Nero's heart, and the 'stone' began to loosen black goo tentacles around it and clung to Nero's body. It was as if the 'stone' was healing and becoming part of it. The inside of Nero's body was a mess of blood and flesh, and when the black tentacles came together perfectly, they began to turn red, starting at the inner walls of Nero's chest and taking the blood into the 'dark soul stone.'
Sarah couldn't help but smile as she saw that the 'stone' did not reject Nero, even with her using Spirit to mediate the transfusion.
Using 'spirit' was a taboo for every cultivator, as it meant a great increase in momentary power, and one needed to be a cultivator focusing on 'Spirit Qi.' Still, after a few hours, the cultivator lost all cultivation and became crippled. Sarah had no time to lose, and she is dying right now.
Using her 'Spirit Qi' to help Nero was the best she can do, even though she was in great pain, she smiled, thinking how strong and monstrous the foundation of Nero's body would be, how a vampire, with the 'dark soul stone,' one of four 'great cursed relics' and her 'Spirit Qi.' He is her hope for revenge, just as she is his.
While Sarah thought of the future revenge for overcoming the pain of that 'spirit,' Nero, who felt an even more significant pain of the dark souls stone, thought of his dead people and family. He sought every drop of hate against humans. He just thought of tearing every human throat on this planet with his fangs. Then the pain in his chest stopped, and Nero lowered his head to look at his chest, where his torn shirt showed off his pale and perfect skin as if he had not a single scratch all his life.
Then Nero's vision darkened again. And he fell passed out into Sarah's arms.
