Chapter 91: Set Out
Chapter 91: Set Out
The evolution took a considerably shorter time than expected, and in just two days, all of them had become Blooded vampires. According to the system, they all got about +10 in all their stats aside from the new skills, so Aldritch was more than satisfied.
Looking at their stat windows, Aldritch was surprised to find out that they now had the ability to turn others into vampires too. This development was certainly fascinating and much anticipated by Aldritch for a while now.

Everyone was doing alright, with Lina surpassing the expectations Aldritch had for her, reaching rank five so fast. As for Lada, Aldritch wasn't surprised at all, it was very much expected. With her rituals no longer focused on maintaining her youthful looks and vitality, all of it went into strengthening herself.
They all improved in regards to their racial skills, leveling them up, well, except for Lina and Khal, as for the latter, he didn't have any interest in anything that would not further his swordsmanship. Aldritch did try to sell him the idea of creating weapons with blood using blood manipulation, but he hadn't gotten into it yet.
As for Ralwa who was absent, she didn't need the boost, she was already well powerful on her own.
'I'm just glad I could turn all of them without having to face the strength gap restriction.' Aldritch thought to himself.
With everything done now, there was only one thing he needed to focus on, which was conquering the other witches.
For the time being, he allowed the new blooded vampires to get used to their new power, though there wasn't much to get used to, before he could proceed. In the meantime, he could also await Ralwa's arrival.
…
After Ralwa's arrival from her little mission, she was also evolved alongside Rindher, as Aldritch had enough to include him.
Once all that was done, it was time to move out. Of course, Aldritch chose the most capable people to accompany him on his journey. Even though he was also eager to test his growth against real opponents, he wasn't going to head out into enemy hands without capable backing.
With him, Aldritch had Khal, Ralwa, Olgud and Rindher. Rindher and Ralwa were not so keen on escorting him for his mission, but Aldritch had to drag them along. He still had to maintain his safety at all cost. Those whose loyalties were above 85 could die for him if it came to it, though the higher it was, the more like it was for that to happen.
Even though Olgud was the least powerful amongst everyone, he had been training hard and already surpassed his teacher, so he was very capable.
Once night came, they set out. Following Aldritch's wish, all of them were dressed in black attire, wearing a hooded shirt that concealed their face well enough.
Lada did a good job of providing Aldritch with the location of one of the Great Dames who they could reach, and the location of four of the lower Lunar.
"We'll be facing off some capable adversaries today, and by we, I mean you and I, Olgud…" Aldritch clearified in a strong tone, causing the usually calm Olgud's left eye to twitch a little.
"After the Great Mother, there are the three Primordial Dames. The Primordial Dame of Red, the Primordial Dame of Black, and the Primordial Dame of White. Following them are the Great Dames, the Dame of Purple, the Dame of Green, and the Dame of Blue, a rank our beloved Lada happens to be under.
The last are the Luna, they should be easy to handle." Aldritch explained again to everyone, just to let them know what they were up to.
Listening to Aldritch's explanation, and Khal and Rindher couldn't help but exhale a tired sigh. If the strongest of their opponent that night was supposed to be as strong as Lada, then why were they even asked to tag along?
'Total misuse of opportunity.' Rindher thought to himself.
Khal on the other hand couldn't help the feeling that he could have been training his swordsmanship.
Olgud however, was determined to prove himself, more to himself than to anyone else, as he needed to know just how much he had grown. Being surrounded by monsters all night, it was difficult to convince himself that he was making 'good' progress.
Yes, he could win against most of the girls following in the art of the shadows, but compared to the others, he couldn't ascertain that his progress was enough.
"Lord, wouldn't it be more efficient if we split up and handle all this? With such capable subordinates, you shouldn't even be out here running missions yourself." Khal proposed lazily.
"Not a chance, I need to test my own progress once in a while, like this mission for example."
Even though they tried to argue, it was useless, Aldritch had already made his decision.
As they hopped off one roof top to another, they soon arrived at the first location, where one of the four Luna was.
Unlike most who infiltrate into rich households, this Luna took a different route and posed as a normal civilian. Since the outer wall had little to offer their plans, most of their operation was focused within the inner walls.
