Chapter 8
Age of Adepts Chapter 8
After licking the blood off her face, the girl in the red dress turned around, once again revealing her delicate and seductive face to the two quivering Apprentices. Fenrir, who couldn’t withstand such a powerful visual impact, fainted, his arms and legs splaying out on the floor in random directions.
The terrifying and ferocious look of ‘Mary’ had been completely covered up, as she had turned back into the lovely girl with the beautiful face. However, her blood red eyes and the two small, yet sharp looking, teeth sticking out from her lips gave hints of the terrifying being hiding behind the charming beauty.
Though nearly half her body was splattered with blood, she somehow managed to look as delicate and charming as a flower. It was such an intense visual impact that even Greem, who was only glimpsing this through the crack in his door, couldn’t control himself and felt himself being charmed by her intense beauty.
A Vampire in its nascent form had no fear of having its body damaged, because, as long as they had blood, they would be able to obtain unlimited vitality. This was an immortal species which only existed in ancient books in this Land of Adepts. As they were over hunted by Adepts, their species was nearly extinct. Even if there were some survivors, they dared not to expose their real identity.
This was why Greem was so shocked by seeing Mary turn into a Vampire. After his initial shock over Mary’s current racial status, Greem also felt a shiver, as he thought about how powerful Adepts must be, that they should be able to hunt these vampires into extinction.
What kind of Magic experiment did Mary go through? How did it turn an ordinary human girl into this bloodthirsty ancient species who loved to kill? Could the strange noises he heard during the night have been caused by Mary’s ‘mutation’?
Right when the red dressed girl Mary moved threateningly towards Ellen, who was still trembling, the torches on both sides of the dark corridor suddenly lit up, and a mystic figure stepped out from the shadows of the wall and spoke.
“Halt your steps, my child. Today’s slaughter has been more than enough for you to complete the last step in your evolution! From now on, you have to try your best to restrain your desire for fresh blood by steeling your mind. Return to the path of searching for knowledge!”
But on the surface, he had covered up the feeling of loss and fury, which was so prevalent in his mind. When he stood up from the floor, he had a flattering smile on his face.
“Apprentice Leader Ellen, quickly get up. The floor is dirty. Let me clean up the mess for you!”
Fenrir’s interruption immediately restored Ellen to reason.
Ellen stood up swiftly and tidied up his appearance. While looking at the Magical Talisman in his hands, an arrogant smile covered his face.
“I’ll leave everything here to you! Something bad has happened to the original Apprentice Leader. I need to inform everybody about this urgent news… Hmm. I seem to remember that it is time to feed those Giant Alligators outside…” The last part of the sentence was said in a cruel and uncaring voice.
“Understood! I’ll clean this mess up right away!” Fenrir couldn’t help but bend his head even lower.
After enjoying the first tastes of his newfound power, Ellen couldn’t hold himself back, and let out a loud laugh again. Then he quickly walked down the corridor and out of sight.
He had looted everything left on Anksorus’s body, but there might still be some good stuff left in Anksorus’s room. Therefore, after leaving the mess to Fenrir, he impatiently sprinted toward the end of the corridor.
It took a few minutes for the sound of his malicious laughter to die away.
