Chapter 612: A Heartbreaking Action.
Chapter 612: A Heartbreaking Action.
Victor was a good boy, and a good boy didn't meddle in his parent's love life.
'... Because I felt the urge to wear a silly mask and wake up eyes that would make me act emo?'
"Vic? Aren't you going to continue what you were doing?" Mizuki murmured in his ear.
"Hmm? Oh… Right. Anyway, let's continue the procedure." Victor looked seriously at his parents and continued:
"Maids assume your positions." Victor's shadow spread across the room, and soon all the Maids appeared around.
"Roxanne, I see you're back. Are the Faerie problems resolved?" Victor asked.
"Yes, Agnes will tell you everything that happened later. She is returning to the Snow Clan with Natashia and Scathach now." Roxanne didn't even waste time trying to explain. She was horrible at explaining things, although if it were an urgent case, she would go the extra mile, but as that wasn't the case, she left it to Victor's older Wives to deal with the subject.
'...Although I'm older than them...' Roxanne thought: 'The correct word is mature, I think? But I'm also mature; my body is thick.'
"Okay." Victor just nodded. He didn't ask why the older women didn't use Natalia; they could get here much faster.
"Why are the Maids here, Vic?" Anna asked, feeling a foreboding feeling at the Maids' red eyes.
"It's in case you freak out," Victor spoke like it was something normal.
"..." They broke out in cold sweats when they heard Victor's answer.
"Hmm, are they going to freak out? This never happened before." Eve spoke.
"You didn't go mad before because Master quickly took care of your wishes, but he can't do that now due to his... condition," Kaguya spoke.
Eve thought about it for a while and realized that Kaguya was correct.
"...." Roxanne itched her cheek a little and said, "I'm sorry, Darling."
"It's okay, I just have to train harder, and I won't complain about getting stronger," Victor spoke in a gentle tone.
Roxanne smiled widely at Victor. She laughed a little and looked at Anna and Leon with thoughts in mind.
'I'm really curious as to what will happen. As parents of a Progenitor, they must be special in some way, right?'
Victor turned his gaze to his parents, and he said:
"Since the two of you are going to be transformed today, we'll do it one at a time, so we don't get into trouble, okay?"
"Mm." The two just nodded their heads.
'If they become a bigger problem than the Maids can handle, I just use my charm to make them freeze.'
Victor knew he was overdoing it by having multiple security measures for this matter, but he was too paranoid. He wouldn't do a half-assed job when it came to his Family. The more fail-safes he had, the more comfortable he would feel.
Victor walked to the middle of the room, and with each step he took, the floor sunk beneath his feet.
Involuntarily, Leon and Anna gulped when they saw their son's imposing form, that serious look, that presence... It was all very suffocating.
'Now I understand why people fear my son so much...' Leon thought.
'Now I understand why girls act like a bitch in heat when they look at my son...' Anna thought. She didn't want to admit it because it would make her have strange thoughts, but she knew her son was the most handsome man she'd ever seen. Even random Vampires who were also pretty couldn't hold a candle to him.
Her son was simply on another level; he was built with a material utterly different from everyone else, a very rare and very desirable material...
Anna felt her throat run a little dry, and she twitched her legs a little; watching her son get closer to her, she thought:
'Yes, baby... Come to mommy.' And the moment she had those thoughts, she opened her eyes wide and cursed herself internally:
'Bad Anna! Don't think such nonsense! He's your damn son! Fuck, why does my son have to be so hot? Ugh, curse you, Aphrodite!'
"First, Leon Walker… Step before me." Victor's voice came out in a tone that didn't allow refusal; who was in front of them now was not Victor, their son.
It was Alucard, the Second Progenitor, the man thousands of Supernatural Beings feared.
Leon just nodded his head stiffly as he swallowed hard. He hadn't even noticed when he'd arrived in front of the man; his mind was completely blank.
Victor looked at his father with a neutral look on his face. He was thinking about how to go about this. He wouldn't bite his father's neck; he'd rather die than do that. For Vampires, that was a very intimate place.
'The classic way, then.' Victor thought.
"Mizuki, Kaguya, seal the room."
"Yes/Yes, Master."
Mizuki pulled five talismans from her pocket, which started glowing red, and she spoke the incantation:
"Oh~, my sweet Shisa, The Sea Dragon, protect the temple that shelters the innocent."
She threw the talismans onto the walls, which began to glow with a Japanese scripture that symbolized protection, and a red force field began to cover the walls of the isolated room completely.
[Hmm, impressive, you combined my rival's Arts and mine perfectly.]
[This is a rare case, Master. Shisa is considered both a Protective Deity and a Youkai.]
[Hmm...] Abe-No-Seimei nodded his head as he looked around curiously.
Kaguya raised her hand, causing shadows to seep from her feet and cover the entire room.
Seeing that the girls finished their preparations,
Victor lifted his right wrist. The nails on his left hand started to sharpen into claws, and he slashed his own wrist.
The moment the smell of blood permeated around, all the Vampires unconsciously shivered a little. The smell was simply divine as if food made by the best Chef had been prepared before them. They were completely numb to their senses, utterly intoxicated by the scent.
'The smell is so delicious~' For a moment, they all shared the same thought.
"Girls," Victor spoke in a heavy voice that carried unquestionable authority. His eyes flashed blood red:
"Focus."
All Vampires opened their eyes quickly and reigned over their instincts.
Satisfied that the Vampires were in control, Victor looked at his wrist and focused on bringing his Vampiric 'venom' into the blood in that area. He also realized that it wasn't a good idea for his father to bite his skin; after all, the result of that action would be like a baby trying to grind concrete.
Controlling his regeneration not to act, which was something quite exhausting due to his regeneration being much more potent than ever before, he spoke:
"Leon, it's your turn. Open your mouth."
Leon did as he was told. Victor lifted his wrist and let the blood drip into Leon's mouth.
The moment Leon swallowed the blood, he frowned a little at the strange taste he'd never experienced before, but he didn't have much time to think about it when he felt his body start to heat up [literally].
It was like he was being burned from the inside, but the burning sensation wasn't what was worst; it was the pain that followed as his whole existence was shattering.
Instinctively realizing that the amount of blood he had given was enough, Victor stopped holding back his regeneration, and soon his arm was completely healed.
Sensing his own blood in Leon's body, he began using that blood to target Leon's Soul. The bite was just a formality. As long as the blood the subject consumed had his Vampiric 'venom' in it, and he, as a Progenitor, focused his intent, he could turn any creature into a Noble Vampire easily.
The properties in the Progenitor's blood would change the subject's body and Soul to the same Race as the Progenitor.
Although, a 'bite' was much more practical. After all, the Vampire could 'focus' on that area and let the blood do the rest. But that didn't mean that Victor's method wasn't viable either.
"A-And now?" Leon asked with difficulty.
"Now, you die."
With a lot of pain in his heart for the act he was about to commit, Victor grabbed Leon's face and, with minimal effort, snapped his neck. That was the easy way out. He was going to die anyway, but dying slowly would've been much more painful.
Anna averted her eyes at this scene. She knew this would happen, but it was still painful to see her son 'killing' his father.
"... And now you will be Reborn."
Victor watched his father's 'dead' body with his special eyes. For a moment, he saw the thread on top of his father's head becoming thicker and more robust. The expansion was almost imperceptible, but he could see it easily due to his perception being much more advanced due to the Fulger Lineage.
A few seconds passed, and soon a dark power began to envelop Leon's body. Slowly his body began to change. He began to rejuvenate, losing useless body fat.
His hand shook a little, his lifeless eyes beginning to take on a primal red hue, and when he closed his fist,
A dark power began to grow thicker and more prominent.
Slowly, Leon started to get up off the ground, and when he was entirely on his feet, everyone noticed the changes in him.
Anna looked nostalgically at her husband. This was the same look he'd had when he was younger; he was back to looking in his 20s.
'How can he change so much?' Anna was confident that her changes would not be so significant; after all, she took very good care of her health.
'Well, my husband has always been slovenly.'
Father and son looked at each other, and both realized one thing... They were nothing alike.
But that wasn't the only thing Leon noticed. As he looked at his son now as a Vampire, he felt the instinctive urge to bow down; he knew the man in front of him was his 'father', a strange feeling seeing that he was in the opposite position a few minutes ago.
'... He's a monster...' Only now did he realize how correct he was.
His senses, his very existence warned him not to antagonize his 'father'. He could feel 'infinite' power coursing through his 'father's' veins. He could feel his 'father's' 'authority' with just one look.
... It was disconcerting.
"Master."
Victor's smile grew. Unlike women, who lusted after the 'male' Progenitor and typically would never harm them, when a Progenitor created a male Noble Vampire, the Progenitor had to show their superiority. They had to enforce the 'hierarchy'; weakness was not allowed.
Father or not, Family or not, Victor was the Progenitor; he was 'The Beginning'. No one was above him in the Race of Vampires he created.
Such an insult would not be tolerated; such insubordination would not be tolerated.
"Looks like it went well, Father."
"Mm… But, I feel weird, son." He placed a hand on his chest.
Despite compromising as father and son, both knew it was just a 'formality', a 'courtesy'. Victor was the one above; Victor was the one who held the rule.
"Ugh…" Leon's dark power started to get chaotic, reaching all around.
"He is losing control," Maria commented calmly as she prepared herself.
"Tsk." Eve stood before Anna to protect her if necessary.
"Leon-."
"Calm down, such a thing was expected," Eve spoke in a cold, neutral voice.
"...." Anna bit her lip and just nodded. She knew it, she was warned, but it was hard to hold back.
"…What is this wish…?" Leon felt his heart suffocate, it was like someone was squeezing his heart, it was suffocating.
'As expected, he was the most troublesome.' Mizuki thought.
"Calm down." Victor ordered using his Charm and his 'authority'.
But... It didn't work. Leon's eyes started to lose focus, he lost consciousness, and only his instincts remained.
And when that happened, Kaguya's darkness enveloped Leon's body. Roxanne also produced tree branches to support her.
Maria appeared behind Leon and wrapped him in threads of blood, covering him like a spider's cocoon.
"Roberta," Maria ordered as she held on even tighter. Leon was struggling a lot.
"AGHHHHH" A roar was heard.
"Roberta!"
"I know! Give me a second!" The woman snapped. When she opened her eyes, her eyes had changed to the eyes of a reptile. She appeared in front of Leon, looked into Leon's eyes, and ordered:
"Stop."
The order passed through the man's unconscious eyes and entered directly into his brain, controlling him. A certain man in a wheelchair would be proud of her. She had the power to mess with everyone's heads.
Slowly, Leon stopped struggling and closed his eyes.
"Leave him sealed until he's calmed down," Victor ordered.
"Yes, Master." They all said at the same time.
"… What happened, Victor?" Anna's face was serious, but her voice was shaky.
"He got lost in his desires; he's probably had a lot bottled up over the years," Victor answered calmly.
His father wasn't a very good example of 'honesty'. He cared more about the people around him than he did himself. He was a good man, but that kind of person always forgot his own desires. Such a reaction was expected when one such as him became a Race that prioritizes their own selfish desires.
"...." Anna was silent, but the concern was visible on her face.f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝓷oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜m
"Don't worry; he'll be back to normal. He just needs to get used to his situation; he's just been completely reborn into a new being, after all."
"And with the rebirth of his Soul, there come opportunities. As he was a human before, his power will be awakened according to his inner desires."
'If he were a Vampire, he would've just taken one of my Bloodlines. But as proven with my Maids, when a human becomes a Noble Vampire, they awaken a power according to their inner desires.' Victor thought curiously. He was curious about the power Leon would have.
"Mm..." Anna just nodded as she looked at her husband's younger form, and soon she shifted her eyes to her son, who looked at her seriously.
The same look he'd given Leon a few moments ago.
"It's your turn, Anna Walker."
"Step before me."
Anna nodded her head, but unlike Leon, she was fearless. She completely trusted the man in front of her, after all, she had raised him since he was a baby.
Victor smiled inwardly at her attitude; he really liked her attitude.
Standing in front of him with a straight posture and brimming with pride, she spoke:
"Now what?"
Victor opened his mouth and spoke.
