Chapter 70. Vampires of Edinburgh part 1
Chapter 70. Vampires of Edinburgh part 1
Rei was walking around the castle as he was four now. He was holding the book of seals like always which has now become a common scene in the castle.
'Haaa....I wonder when the Vampire invasion in Edinburgh is going to happen.' Rei though as he tucked the book under his hand. At this point, his features have become more defined as one could tell he would be extremely handsome. HOWEVER! To Rei's demise, he still looked more like a girl growing up.
'Haaa if I didn't know I'll become more handsome once I reach the age of 18 I would defiantly hate being like this again.' Rei though as he walked towards where the 7 sins would be soon. Through these years of being adopted as Meliodas' son, Rei had started to see Meliodas as a father figure for him. In fact, he saw the 7 deadly sins as his new family. Meliodas was his dad and Merlin was like a mother. The rest were big siblings that took care of him. Just thinking of them brought a radiant smile to his face which made the surrounding servants blush from his smile.
Rei continued to walk when he saw a holy knight block his path.
"? Holy knight san? Do you need some thing?" Rei asked seeing the knight with no intention to move.
The knight removed his mask and Rei could see the vampire drooling at him.
"Eto~ Knight san, you know you're drooling right." Rei said backing up slowly as he could feel his danger signs ringing out.
"Kuhahahaha, I didn't think that there would be another vampire here and with such a pure bloodline too..." The vampire said as he slowly walked towards Rei.
"Shame you're so weak right now." He said.
Rei tried to run but the Vampire grabbed him easily.
"Now, a meal shouldn't run should he?" The vampire said as he looked at Rei with a sinister smirk.
"No he shouldn't." Rei said his face becoming cold as he summoned 2 blades to pierce into the Vampire's eyes.
"BASTARD!!!" The vampire shouted as he pulled the two swords out and stumbled in pain.
Taking this chance, Rei gathered magic into his hands as he used his demon slayer powers. A small purple ball of fire appeared in Rei's hands as he sent it towards the Vampire.
"AARRRRRHHHHHGGGG!!!!!" The vampire cried out loudly as he rolled around in a purple ball of flames.
Rei stumbled from the lack of mana in his body.
'Really....2 blades and a ball of demon fire emptied me out....Fuck...' Rei thought as he fell forwards. A pair of hands suddenly grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up. Rei could see the vampire still having burn marks look at him with hate in his eyes.
"You little shit." He growled as he opened his mouth and bite down on Rei's neck abruptly.
'Fuck!' Rei thought as he could feel his blood getting drained. His immortality from the Alucard bloodline was trying to heal him but it was slow since Rei was still too weak. His vision blurred slightly as he could see Meliodas turn the corner before running towards the vampire.
"Dad..." Rei called out weakly as the vampire was cut in half by an angry Meliodas.
"Rei chan! Rei chan! Are you ok? We're are you hurt!" Meliodas panicked and he looked at Rei's body and saw two fang marks on Rei's neck. Quickly grabbing Rei. Meliodas ran towards where Merlin would be and burst into the room. Rei's consciousness was fading in and out during this.
'System what's happening?' Rei though weakly.
[The weak vampire DNA is trying to corrupt your Alucard bloodline. But your bloodline is fighting back. In return, the Alucard bloodline is also getting stronger by the second. At the end of this situation, you should be able to use Alucard's blood control and improved regeneration. Transformation is still out of reach right now.] The system's message displayed itself to Rei as he calmed down.
'I see....' Rei though before falling unconscious due to the fight going on in his bloodline.
"Merlin!! What's happening with Rei!!" Meliodas shouted gaining Merlin's attention.
"Put him on the table quick." Merlin said as she quickly dropped everything that she was doing. She started to use her magic to scan Rei's body and checking his vitals.
"Captain, Rei's blood is becoming more and more like that of a vampire's. But it's not the kind we know. He isn't weak to the sun, his is effectively immortal and it seems like his also getting his demon blood to become more potent. But it could potentially kill him if he fails to suppress the intruding vampire DNA." Merlin said frowning.
Meliodas' face was cold as he was angry at how Rei was like this because of the vampire clan.
"Merlin are you able to find out where the vampire came from?" Meliodas asked with anger.
"Of course. Let's show them what happens when they touch my Rei chan." Merlin said also mad as she saw Rei like a son she never had.
"Today the seven sins shall go wipe out the vampire clan." Meliodas declared as he walked out of the room, Merlin followed as she made sure that Rei was protected by some seals.
Elsewhere, the vampire king Izraf in Edinburgh felt a sudden shiver go down his spine as a warning of his impending doom.
"Hmm, weird...Why did I shiver." Izraf said as he frowned. He shrugged before going to focus on more important matters.
Back in the kingdom of Liones, the seven sins were gathered with cold faces.
"So you're saying the vampires in Edinburgh had layed their filthy hands of Rei." Ban said with his eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint.
"How dare they!" Diane shouted enraged at the fact that Rei had been harmed to this extent.
"As you're captain, we are going to demolish the vampire's in Edinburgh." Meliodas said as they left as a group towards Edinburgh. The knights who had saw the looks on seven sins faces fell back on their ass as they felt danger radiate off each of the members.
'Who ever pissed off these monsters are fucked.' They all thought in sympathy.
When the seven sins had gathered in an open area, Merlin used her magic to teleport the group to Edinburgh which they could see was in a state of constant night due to the magic of the vampire king Izraf.
"Everyone, we shall split up and destroy Edinburgh from every direction." Meliodas said as he looked at the kingdom of Edinburgh.
"Hai!" They said as they all ran off into different direction ready to cause pain to the vampires. Meliodas, Merlin and Escanor remained where they were as they set their eyes onto the main castle.
"Escanor, Merlin, we shall raid the main castle which should be where the king is. Once we take out the head the rest should follow." Meliodas said as Merlin and Escanor nodded in understanding. The three of them flashed towards the the castle.
Meanwhile, after the seven sins had left, Rei started to writhe around on the table from the pain he felt in his veins as the Alucard bloodline started to overpower the invading vampire DNA. When the invading DNA was finally destroyed completely, Rei's eyes snapped wide open.
"Blood...." He muttered as he wasn't in full control. He needed to have his first feeding after his Alucard bloodline had been strengthened slightly. With the remainder of his willpower, Rei carved a seal to teleport him to Edinburgh and rewired the mana going into the existing seals in the room to power his. With a flash, Rei was gone from the room.
