Chapter 504: Blood Slave

Chapter 504: Blood Slave

I let Nix throw all the bodies into the Dungeon where they will be absorbed and become some DP, both the survivors, as well as those who died, have been stripped of all their items, weapons, and clothing for me to try and find a clue as to who they are.

The survivors were taken to the Dungeon where they will be interrogated by Elsaris, Lilian, and Lilith.

I let the carriage go back the way it had been planned after I got rid of the lines I'd spread around, then head to the hidden room inside the carriage where I left the Dungeon gate open.

I went straight to the Temple of Blood where Vanessa spends most of her time, I find her cleaning the place up and call her into a room with me for a chat.

"You look thoughtful, what happened for you to come to me this time, Father?"  (Vanessa)

"We were attacked by two or three hundred enemies, all with SS Grade strength."  (I)

"That was fast, how did you manage to get enemies so fast in the first city we just left?"  (Vanessa)

"We're not even a week on this continent."  (Vanessa)

"Why does it have to be my fault?"  (I)

"Father..." (Vanessa)

"Don't look at me like that, I admit my luck can be awful, but I've always been the calmest of us all and I've never tried to be anyone's enemy."  (I)

"You're wrong, the calmest of us is Freya with Ivan next, that's why I'm not telling the naive Caryna."  (Vanessa)

"You really try to be as calm and rational as possible, but we both know that when you get angry even Layla's insanity lags behind yours."  (Vanessa)

"Now you're insulting me, I can get carried away when I get angry, but it's not that bad."  (I)

"You were prepared for a carnage at the entrance to the Illusory Forest Elf Village, if not for Sakura intervening..." (Vanessa)

"..." (I)

cough cough

"I think you made me stray from the main subject, I didn't come to discuss this."  (I)

"You wanted to talk about the enemies you brought."  (Vanessa)

"I already told you I didn't bring any enemies... I think..." (I)

"So what do you need my help for?"  (Vanessa)

"If you've captured anyone, know that I'm not good with interrogations."  (Vanessa)

"We have some prisoners, but I left them in the hands of Elsaris, Lilian, and Lilith."  (I)

"Poor people, I even feel sorry for what will happen to them."  (Vanessa)

"What I want is to talk about their race."  (I)

"Is there something wrong with their race?"  (Vanessa)

"They were all of the Vampire Slave race."  (I)

"..." (Vanessa)

Theirs the start of conversation Vanessa and I are chatting in a relaxed way as we always do, she seems to have begun to take a liking to teasing her poor father.

But the moment she hears about the enemy race her calm gaze turns serious, the smile on her face disappears and she straightens her posture as her expression turns serious.

"Did you say Vampire Slaves?"  (Vanessa)

"Yes, I don't know much about these races and I thought you might know more, so I came here."  (I)

"By your expression, it looks like you know something about their race."  (I)

"I know everything, this is a forbidden race to exist, we need to find the bastard who did this crime and punish him for breaking the Taboo."  (Vanessa)

"What Taboo?"  (I)

"You know the "Blood Servant" and "Vampire Servant" skills for sure, right?"  (Vanessa)

"Yes, I have both skills."  (I)

"Every Vampire has the Vampire Servant skill, but only a Patriarch or Matriarch has the Blood Servant skill."  (Vanessa)

"When a Vampire gives their blood to someone to drink and uses the Vampire Servant skill that person becomes a Vampire by doing so willingly, the transformation cannot be forced."  (Vanessa)

"The person must accept it, no matter what it takes to do so like convincing the person, torturing, blackmailing, threatening, etc."  (Vanessa)

"The important thing is the person accepts, but most of the time or almost always the person accepts, otherwise the skill fails and can cause the person's death."  (Vanessa)

"If the person didn't drink the Vampire's blood before being Affected by the Vampire Servant skill, then they will experience the same problems of having to accept the power, but they won't turn into a Vampire, they will receive the title or race of Blood Servant."  (Vanessa)

"A Blood Servant has an increase in overall power and their lifespan is greatly increased, they still retain their personality and will of their own but are bonded to the Vampire they agreed to serve."  (Vanessa)

I already knew about most of these things, but I didn't know you could force someone to accept it with such bad methods.

"The Blood Servant skill that only Patriarchs or Matriarchs possess on the other hand can make Blood Servants much stronger and with lifespans tied to the Vampire they serve, this skill doesn't require the person to drink the Vampire's blood to function and can even turn the person into a Familiar in some cases."  (Vanessa)

"But there is a Taboo about this skill, if the person drinks the Vampire's blood and is placed under the effects of the Blood Servant skill without agreeing the Vampire can use its Aura to invade the person's body forcing a success, but the result is not will be a servant, will be a slave."  (Vanessa)

"This method will partially transform the person's body into a Vampire, they will be completely loyal but have no emotions, coincidence, the mind of their own or will."  (Vanessa)

"They just have a monster-like instinct and the Vampire's orders they serve, their souls are sealed inside their bodies, they can see everything they do and have no control over their bodies."  (Vanessa)

"But Erica has a similar title."  (I)

"The title is okay as it only shows the person's absolute degree of loyalty, but the Vampire Slave race means that their bodies are being manipulated while their souls suffer, this is a very big taboo among Vampires."  (Vanessa)

"For those of the neutral faction like myself or those of the Temple of Blood, this is something unacceptable that must be resolved."  (Vanessa)

I don't think I've ever seen Vanessa speak so much and as fast as she did now, I can feel the anger radiating from her with every word she spoke.
