FLUOSH!
Vlad glanced as dozens of corpses from orcs, goblins, and even his sibling and his aunt dried out into mummies as he drained them of every ounce of blood he could, and then through Gluttony, were devoured by countless jaws made of black and red light.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
He felt a surge of power as he gained a large quantity of Blood Energy, his Blood Core rapidly beginning to reinforce itself, refining its essence and powers and granting him a refreshing feeling of finally being satisfied, as if he had been starving for a while.
Certainly, the combination of drinking blood and then devouring a whole corpse wasn’t something Paul ever thought he would get so used to, but well, most of his senses were dulled as a Vampire, so it didn’t feel that insane to him anymore.
“Done with your meals?”
Alitheus was sitting coquettishly over Vlad’s bed, with his legs crossed, while looking at his inventory and status. It seemed he had been marveling at all the money they had made for a while now.

However, when you drink blood, all Stats will go back to normal, but your Stamina is fully healed, and all Racial Skills Power will increase by 30% for 10 Minutes.

Vlad admired his stats growth and also a new and useful Racial Skill that could potentially become really good as it grew stronger.
“My Bloodline also progressed really well; I think I’ve gotten better at absorbing Bloodline Fragments…”

“Aah, I feel stronger,” Paul sighed in relief. “This is really good; I gained four Skills! Look Chris!”
“Huh?” Chris raised an eyebrow cutely as he glanced at Paul’s system window. “Oh woah, yeah. You’re totally going to use… Orc Rallying Cry and… Goblin’s Pack Hunting? They will surely be very useful!”
“D-Don’t look down on their power! Maybe they’re good,” said Vlad. “Also there’s Desecrated Shadow Sorcery! Isn’t this the Curse Magic the orc mage used? It can conjure curses that can empower allies and control minds, even.”
"Nah, I don’t think it’ll let you do all that so easily,” said Chris. “That orc couldn’t control your mind in the moment either, right? So maybe it’s limited to beasts like Argentia.”
“R-Right…” Nodded Paul.
“What? Are you disappointed? Hahaha! Did you think you were going to hypnotize cute girls to have sex with them or something?” laughed Chris.
“I never thought about anything like that!” Paul blushed a bit. “Though maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad to use it on you, so you stopped being such a little devil all the time.”
“Well, I’m an incubus anyways~ What else do you want me to be, huh?” Chris winked at him as he raised his feet, pointing his toe at Vlad’s chin.
“You… Don’t you think you’re getting a bit ahead of yourself now?” Vlad smiled mischievously, suddenly grabbing Chris' feet and then caressing the incubus legs, reaching his plump thighs.
“Heh? Haven’t I helped you plenty? I think it’s fine if I get a bit cocky~!” Chris giggled as he quickly placed his other foot over Vlad’s chest.
Even Chris' feet and his small toes were adorable; even more, because the nails were long and resembled small black claws, it gave them a level of erotism that Vlad never imagined.
“Calm down, calm down.”
Paul was trying to calm himself down, but Chris Charm was immense; like a pink and warm fog that enveloped him and dulled his senses, he could only think of the incubus’ sexy body and nothing else.
“What are you looking at so much? H-Hey!” Chris began to realize that his teasing might have gone too far; Vlad was in a strange state of trance. “Paul? You’re so horny! S-Stop it!”
“You’re horny too; I can feel something hard rubbing against my stomach,” said Vlad, smiling. “You tease me, and then you think I’m not going to get aroused...”
“I-I… Well, a little teasing here and there hasn’t hurt anybody, right?” The incubus grew a bit nervous. “Sorry…”
“…Fine,” Vlad quickly let go of it, as he was about to stand up, but…
"Sorry, not sorry~! Heh!”
However, Chris tail wrapped around his neck and pushed him down into the bed.
“Ugh?! Chris! Ack…! Your tail’s too strong; what the hell?”
“Heh, now who is at who’s mercy, eh?”
“S-Stop it; I can’t breathe well…”
“It’s a game, so it doesn’t matter!”
Chris placed his legs around Paul’s torso as he began playing a bit roughly.
“You little…!”
Paul gained strength from his Blood Runes, quickly twisting his body and then attacking Chris, pushing him down.
The two began playing wrestling over the bed, with Chris always teasing him while Paul grew restless.
Eventually, this little play ended with the two making out.
“Hmm~ Mooch!”
“Aah! You’re so hopeless~!”
Paul started kissing and licking Chris' neck and then his shoulders; every part of his white skin was so soft and silky.
“I am… You’ve turned me into a madman… It’s all your fault.”
The handsome vampire prince’s long white hair fell like beautiful cascading waterfalls of silky white snow, making his blushing face even more handsome.
“I want to lick and kiss every part of your body…”
Paul couldn’t believe he was saying these things right now!
“Woah… You’re really a perv~”
“Shut up, you love this anyways…”
“Aaah~!”
Paul lifted Chris arms and started kissing them, then slowly moved down his hairless, soft armpits, licking and kissing them. Chris was already sweating a lot, making it even more sexy.
“Seriously, the armpits now~? Huh! I never thought you were that type~”
“Shut up.”
Vlad stole Chris’ voice by kissing him passionately on the lips. The two exchanged saliva as their tongues danced against one another, sucking their lips and tongues lasciviously.
A lot happened today, but the two wanted to forget about all of that and just have fun together, because it always felt like when they were together like this, time stopped and everything else didn’t matter.
“Hahh… Hahh… Paul…” Chris moaned, looking at him with eyes filled with lust, his Lust Stigma glowing brightly. “Kiss me more…”
“Of course, you don’t even need to ask me,” Paul said, kissing his little nose. “I love you.”
His lips pressed against Chris’ again, their bodies rubbing against one another, and the hard things below their pants rubbed very hard against each other, making them feel a great ecstasy in between their passionate kisses.
“Do you really love me?” Chris wondered. “So fast? Is this true, or are you just being a dumbass?”
“I like you, and I also like your personality, how you act with me... I like how you are, and I want to spend every hour of my life with you now,” said Paul, kissing Chris neck again.
“Y-You’re crazy…” Chris couldn’t believe it. “Dummy!”
“Why are you getting angry now? Huh?”
And then Paul quickly realized Chris was crying.
“Chris?”
“Don’t say such things without thinking, okay? Or you’re going to make me fall for you too, you know?”
Paul felt like he skipped a beat; Chris was much purer than he imagined and even cuter.
“Hah, sorry… Let’s take our time then.” Paul caressed Chris’ baby face, cleaned his tears, and kissed him again. “I’ll make you believe me slowly then. I truly mean my words.”
“Hmph…!” Chris pouted his face adorably. “W-We’ll see! Until then, well... We can still do what we’ve been doing. And honestly, you’re an okay friend…”
“You’re too cute for your own good.” Paul hugged Chris. “And this avatar only enhances your cuteness... You’re like a doll, and everyone thinks you’re a girl, haha!”
“What?! But I’m a guy!” groaned Chris. “Ugh, and you think you’re not hot either? That vampire avatar is just way too handsome! It’s almost hypnotic to see your eyes…”
“Is that so?” Paul felt a bit embarrassed.
“Yeah, don’t expect me to resist that handsome for too long; I might want a larger bite from you in the near future~” Chris licked his lips.
Paul didn’t know exactly what he meant, but he would come to learn about it much later.
“Anyways, about this weird cult…” Chris said, resting over the bed while cuddling with Paul, resting his adorable head on his shoulders, while his “friend” kissed his head because he was just too cute to resist.
“Ah, yeah… It seems to be somewhat related to the Desecrated Shadow King,” said Paul.
“Really?” wondered Chris.
“Didn’t you hear what I told Vlad’s mom?” sighed Paul. “Yeah… It looks like Vlad’s brother and his aunt had somehow already joined that group and were then given some sort of blessing or curse that enhanced their magical powers and racial skills.”
“So that’s why they were so damn overpowered!” nodded the incubus. “Dammit, kind of annoying; that’s everything connected! Will that cult be on our tails now?”
“According to what I heard, their name was [Desecrated Shadow King’s Templars], so they’re a cult that actually serves that Outer One, insanely enough,” said Paul. "However, their headquarters are in Ennead, not this Realm. They’re trying to expand in here, though, but have yet to be able to send their strongest men here so easily. Even Shamir was only summoned temporarily.”
“And so they targeted the Vampire Family first, hm…” nodded Chris. “What are we going to do now, though?”
“One step at a time, that mark that bastard left on me is my problem, so don’t worry,” said Paul. “And about the cult, we’ll kill every member we find before they expand even further; there’s nothing else we can do. Mom agreed to the plan. There are a few other criminal groups left behind in the city. We’ll take them down and find out if they’re related or not.”
“Gotcha~! Wait! Before we got all horny, weren’t you going to upgrade your Armor?” wondered Chris.
“Yeah, I’m already working on the beginning steps,” Paul smiled.
“Huh?”
Vlad led Alitheus to the Alchemy Room where Blazing Doppelgangers were working on the armor on their own, surprising the incubus.
“W-Wait! You can use these like this too?!”
“They can copy my skills and abilities and copy my movements and techniques to 100% accuracy. Their bodies are made of fire too, so they can easily process metal inside and mold it into shapes. They’re ideal walking furnaces.”
“Insane…!”
“I’m still discovering their complete potential, but... This could lead us to the ability to mass produce equipment.”
Paul had great plans, and he wouldn’t stop at anything to achieve them.
Not even cults or Outer Ones would stop him.
Elderbridge will rise again and become a great country of its own.
He’ll make Vlad’s father regret having abandoned them.
