Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Though, of course, that didn't matter to Matt.

Why would he care if Low Deal was an enemy of these guys? His only interest was in obtaining more similar items, so knowing the location of these guys was a good idea.

That was why, once they got back to the hotel room, Matt started investigating the items he had, trying to figure something out.

However, after investigating for a while, he stopped.

'It's not productive this.' He thought and looked out the window.

There was Alice, writing a letter that was later sent to a small messenger bird.

Matt approached her. "How long will it take to arrive?" he asked, and Alice sighed.

"I don't know. If no one attacks her along the way, it should be able to get there in several months... No, it might even take one year. But if someone attacks it, it won't get there. After all, it's a vampire bird in a human empire."

Both agreed on that, so there was nothing they could do other than wait for it to get to that side. Naturally, that was a message to Gray Allen and Clan Allen, though it was encrypted and written so that only the Allens could know what it said.

After that, Matt and Alice started talking about different things, and the days passed.

During these days, news that two very powerful vampires were on the empire's grounds hit many cities, causing many people to raise alarms. The Divine Knights were also working hard to find them, so the influx of Divine Knights in Reaver City, where Matt and Alice were, increased dramatically.

Still, both remained quiet these days and raised no suspicions. They did some small missions of slaying vampiric-type monsters, such as beasts or the like, which raised their status among the guild a bit.

This is especially true because they had reached Rank A with only one mission, showing they were powerful and capable.

They had earned a good reputation in the Vampire Hunters Guild, which made the Divine Knights not suspicious of both of them.

But today, however, an important issue occurred.

Matt and Alice were called to the Guild urgently that day to deal with an important matter.

As soon as they arrived, they were taken to the hall of the Guild Leader, a muscular man who looked quite robust.

When Matt and Alice saw him, they felt a sense of intense oppression.

'...How powerful he is... And his aura looks a lot like that Hero's... Could he be one?' thought Matt.

Behind him, two more groups entered, both of which were quite powerful as well.

'Oh? A-Rank groups? Apparently, the stuff they found was better than I thought.' Matt smiled.

The Guild Leader stood up to look at them.

"I'll be quick as I don't want to waste your time, esteemed hunters of Rank A. Thanks to the help given by the newly promoted hunters, we were able to find the branch of the clandestine organization called 'Low Deal'. Everyone who knows this name should understand the reason why we are up against it. They want our extermination while they are engaged in creating powerful undead vampires."

"This time, the branch is not very dangerous. I would honestly like to go and destroy it on my own personally, but that would be against the guild's rules and would also trigger a war that the empire wants to avoid. Therefore, I took the trouble to issue a Rank A mission, being the highest rank of hunters we have in this branch of the organization."

"The idea is simple: go destroy the Low Deal Branch. But that's dangerous to do; that's why I called you A-Rank Hunters to take on the mission as a single group. All the treasures there will belong to you, along with the rewards of the mission. You should know that the Low Deal Branches always have powerful members of Rank A. One of them was killed by our comrades here.

I could confirm that there are three others, and they are powerful wizards, so it is better for you to attack in a large group; what do you think?"

The guild leader spoke without allowing anyone to utter a word so that he could explain everything he wanted to say well.

All the hunters listened to him attentively, and when he finished, he passed him the bounty sheet that would be issued for this mission.

Matt and Alice didn't really show much interest, although they feigned deep interest. The truth was that almost none of it was of any use to them; it was just something functional for those who practiced mana as a power.

But the rest of the Hunters were surprised and even stunned to see such good rewards.

That was why they had nothing to say against it.

"If the new group wants to do it, then we'll be happy to cooperate. The guild's motto, and the one we always follow, is that we must slay all vampires at all costs, so we have nothing to say." Both groups replied almost simultaneously.

Matt nodded towards them. "I have no say in the matter; from the beginning, I asked the guild to investigate because I wanted to participate in the raid. So, I agree." He replied.

The guild leader nodded with a smile. "Hahaha, fine. Then we'll do it like this. Come, I'll tell you the plan and the location."

The leader then began to tell them various things they had to keep in mind. Attacking a branch of an organization like this was not straightforward, more so because most of the A-Rank Hunters they have are not mages, and on the other side, there are several powerful mages.

The mages can change the circumstances of a battle with just one attack, so they must be careful fighting them.

After explaining the situation to them and giving them a map, the mission was given to them, and they were given several things to help them complete it. They would not go on the same day because they needed to prepare.

Two days later, they were finally ready. The three groups left the city, heading for a small village behind a mountain, more than 18 hours away.
