"To think it would have been so easy to capture the next saintess..."
A man with short white hair and red eyes said. He stood at a height of 6 feet two inches and had an imposing Aura. He wore regal clothing nobles would wear, and looked quite dashing.
He gazed at his captive, the next potential Saintess of the Church Of Savar with a lustful gaze.
In front of him, the Saintess lay bound by metallic balls covering her limbs, These balls floated in the Air and were so durable they could hold Sasha. The Next Potential Saintess candidate.
Sasha was a girl with long silver hair and impressive body proportions that were perfect for her height of 6 feet and she was absolutely breathtaking.
Her long silver hair was like the moon itself, It was like the luster of the celestial body rotating around the world was hidden within her magnificent hair. Her face was just as beautiful as the moon. She Had Jade skin, white as pearls. But the most important feature of hers was her eyes...
Could they even be described in words? Her two eyes were as red as blood but seemed to be like diamonds. Even from afar, one could gaze at them for eternity and still would not be satisfied. Her blood-like eyes were polished like the finest Diamond. Just...Beautiful.
Such beauty was now held captive with multiple wounds on her body.
All of these cuts were placed in places that would leak the most blood.
The man, who was responsible for her capture got in front of her and opened his mouth, letting out a snake-like tongue and vile, sharp teeth like those of a Vampire.
Indeed, he was a Vampire! For he bit on Sasha's neck and sucked her succulent blood. Blood so delicious that he, A DUKE, was struggling to hold himself back.
Sasha wanted to bite him back with her own teeth, her body had been blessed by Savar himself. Her own teeth were powerful enough to rip this duke in front of her to shreds...But she was too weak now, drained both physically and spiritually.
Her Holy power was being suppressed by the hundreds of suppressors in this technological Fortress called the Duke's castle, and her physical strength was being suppressed by the floating orbs of metal that bound her feet and legs.
"Ahh....such succulent and tasteful blood...As expected of one who has Savar's Blood in her veins..."
"Don't...sully his holy name with your godforsaken mouth..."
Sasha said...but it was so quiet it was almost like a whisper. She had lost too much blood. She was too weak.
"Still clinging onto a false hope are we?"
The vampire duke, Hugo, Placed his hands on Sasha's chin and held her head high...So she could see his eyes.
His eyes glowed with sinister intent. His eyes...seemed to be using a special power. The luster they emitted was mesmerizing.
"Your god has forsaken this world."
He said, his voice was manipulative, it was cold, it was...nothing in front of Sasha's devotion to her god.
*PTUI*
She spat on his face using all the strength she could muster.
"..."
Hugo cleaned the spit off his face with a handkerchief before asking.
"Manners...don't they teach you that back at the Holy Grounds?"
His voice contained a hint of Disgust. He was having a hard time believing that someone Like Sasha, had spat on him. She was in a high-ranking position...she should at least have some dignity...
"Manners...? coming from someone like you?"
She said weakly, her voice barely audible.
"Where were those manners of yours when you fought us...? hiding behind Hundreds of thousands...of your subordinates...?"
Sasha argued but Hugo merely laughed at her.
"You see my ignorant Saintess...that is called battle tactics! Why would I face you in a duel when I outnumber your forces by 100 to 1? That's just plain stupidity!"
"Bullshit..."
Hugo enjoyed seeing her in pain, he looked at her body, oozing blood from various wounds, and then looked below her, at the container beneath her filled with her blood.
She was regenerating as fast as she was losing blood...so it was like an endless supply for him.
"Just accept it, My dear Saintess..."
Said Hugo, looking at her with a smirk.
"No one is coming, this entire city is filled to the brim with night creatures and this castle of mine is filled with high-ranking vampires.
Furthermore, this is so far away from the Capital or any other holy city...Aid will not come to you."
He wanted to see her suffer...he wanted to see her cry...but what he wanted to see most was for her to lose faith.
"The mighty Savar...does not abandon anyone."
She was dying...she was losing blood at an astonishing rate and her regeneration was getting weaker and weaker...she would die soon.
But Hugo wouldn't let her die until he saw that devotion of hers crumple. Crumple into little pieces...
"Oh, but he will...He already has."
There was a hint of disgust in his voice when he said that. Savar had not been answering any prayers for almost a decade now.
"My lordship! Urgent news!"
"huh?"
Hugo turned his head. A vampire came to him and showed him something that shocked him.
He showed him a projection using a little device. The projection showed Hugo the sight of a man with long white hair and red eyes and in the attire of a hunter with a cape standing outside the Main gate of the castle.
"Someone is standing outside the main gate and requesting entry."
"what..?"
Hugo was scouring through his mind to remember if he knew this man. Since the Creatures of the night didnt attack him, he shouldn't have been an enemy. Also, he looked like a vampire as well. A pretty high-ranking one at that.
'Did one house send their young here? For what thought? And Why was I not notified?'
He thought.
"Have you asked him his affiliation?"
"No sir...We were waiting for your approval."
The servant answered. Hugo sighed and projected his voice outside the castle with his powers and said.
"Which House do you belong to?"
He asked the man, who looked to be...amazed? What was he amazed at?
[Where is this voice coming from?]
"..."
Hugo was flabbergasted upon hearing the Man's words.
'What fucking house send a newborn here? Never mind...he should at least know the name.'
"I, Hugo, Duke of House of Kjhajik, ask you again. Which house do you belong to?"
[House...hmmm]
The man pondered for a bit after hearing Hugo. Then he answered in a clueless manner. It was as if he was unaware of what he was saying.
[House? Ohhh... I belong to the House of the Wolf God, Sa-]
"Shoot him."
Hugo didnt let the man finish his sentence, He immediately declared fire.
Five Laser Cannons situated on the castle walls immediately fired at the Man. Five extremely powerful laser beams the width of houses attacked the man. They covered his figure entirely.
Surely, he was dead, reduced to atoms!
Sasha, who had gained a bit of hope...grimaced as she saw the Man get absolutely obliterated by the Laser Cannons.
Hugo turned around and snickered.
"You see? No one is comi-"
"My lord!"
Hugo was interrupted by his servant. Annoyed, he turned around and asked.
"What...now?"
In the middle of his sentence...he saw a shocking sight on the Projection.
The man...who he thought had been disintegrated was standing there unfazed. His clothes...No even the ground beneath him looked to be untouched! It was as if the lasers capable of destroying nearly everything had been nothing but a joke!
In the midst of his shock...he Heard the Man talk once again.
And he was absolutely flabbergasted by his words!
[That's an odd greeting.]
