**1 day later**

**Location: The town of Ironrock a small mountain town located north in the kingdom of Camelot**

*Pant* *Pant* *Pant* "It's ok kids don't look back just.....Hold on to me and just keep running we'll lose them eventually!" Over the sounds of branches snapping and dirt crunching under the small feet of three people two women and one boy a panicked woman's panicked voice could be heard along with the small pants of two children could be heard as two girls and a boy a mother and her children the mother and daughter both clad in basic but now clearly messy and slightly torn gray dresses and the boy wearing a thin leather coat pants and small boots ran through the trail of the surrounding forest there mountain tree filled environment that they once thought of as "pretty" being a lot more scary then they once thought. If anything the moon being the only source of light in the dark environment was a disadvantage as it made it hard to see more then a few feet and the surrounding trees and bushes being nothing more then obstacles that they had to clumsily go through without being separated. Adrenaline running through both there veins as they continued moving as fast as there already exhausted legs could move trying not to lose there footing as they moved.

Normally they would've already slown or even stop running completely after running this long from exhaustion. In fact under normal circumstances they would've stopped running a LONG time ago but through the sheer power of adrenaline and fear they continued running. They've been forced to run in situations like these for the last few weeks ever since those THINGS attacked there town.

In a situation like these all normal humans could do is just keep running. Even if they could already hear the silent footsteps of there natural predators following them at incomprehensible speeds quickly closing the distance between them like a predator zooming in on there prey. After all no one wants to acknowledge the fact there deaths are possobly imminent the human survival instinct would rather believe that if they continue running or trying to escape from the danger they may live.

Of course reality doesn't always go the way you want it too. The sounds of five footsteps moving together in a tightly packed group ripping through the air could be heard as there bodies sped forward at speeds faster then any human could possibly go as they sped forward chasing the small family quickly closing the distance between them as they chased them.

The group consisted of five individuals three men and two women who all had similar traits. Pale almost corpselike skin that seemed to almost glow in the moonlight slick pitch black hair blood red eyes that fit there abnormally handsome/handsome faces and slim yet muscular physique covered by there nearly identical outfits which consisted of black long sleeve shirts and pants without anything on there feet exposing there abnormally sharp toes and long claw like nails that almost looked like curved blades.

You'd be forgiven for thinking these individuals were "Good looking" lots of people have let there guards down around them after seeing there appearances. But once you see the noticeably sharp fangs in there jaw you'll quickly lose that train of thought.

After all it takes a certain level of stupidity and desperation too be attracted to a vampire of all things.

"Slow them Voric we need to deal with these ones quickly in case more survivors survived" One of the male vampires said they were the only one out of the male vampires without any facial hair with a younger looking face as they continued chasing the mother and children down.

Without any hesitation one of the older male vampires who had a small mustache forming on there face around there lips quickly grabbed a nearby rock as they passed by some bushes and quickly threw it in the direction of the mother and children as they continued desperately running. And like a bullet the small stone moved through the air only stopping when it accurately hit the back of the mother's knee piercing flesh causing her to let out a pained yelp already falling on her own feet as her now bleeding leg made standing let alone running nearly impossible. As a result she and her kids couldn't do much as they were quickly surrounded by the squad of vampires making a mini circle around them.

"P-Please don't hurt me at least spare my children. W-We just want to leave town i swear nothing else!" The mother quickly begun begging the surrounding vampires for her life unable to do much but clasp her hands together as her now bloody leg continued shaking from the damage it had just taken while her now crying kids quickly clung to her instinctively not wanting to experience the same fate that had happened to the rest of there town. After all it's not as though the age of the villagers mattered much to there assailants. And the fact they begun casually having a conversation among themselves showed how much value they really had for the small family.

"I have there scent and there aren't any other scents connected to them or leading away. I guess these ones really were the only survivors to get out of the ambush." One of the vampires casually said a woman with long straight black hair said after giving a small sniff in the general direction of the family.

"Good that makes our job a lot easier. There blood isn't all that high quality considering there mana is about average for peasant humans and the kids are too small for any real food so let's just kill them and head back to lord Tassel" One of the male vampires calmly said there lower jaw covered by a slightly thick beard and small circular glasses as they let out a bored yawn.

"Alright might as well make it painless and cut there heads off. Not that it really matters livestock could always be replaced" The vampire Voric who had thrown the rock earlier casually said already taking steps towards the now terrified family who let out yelps and shouts of fear once they realized they pleas were literally being ignored. With each step Voric took there fear intensified and there cries got louder when his pale palm abruptly glowed a blood red color a small cut forming on there palm which abruptly leaked out an unnatural amount of blood that slowly morphed and floated reshaping itself into the shape of a curved sword around the size of there arm before it solidified like ice making a makeshift sword that seemed to glow in the moonlight.

Blood magic one of the crueler forms of magic depending on the user. Magic fell into three major categories.

Physical magic which allowed the user to control physical materials to there advantage with mana the internal life energy of all living beings used to use magic. For example water or fire magic would fall into the physical magic category.

There's conceptual magic that allows the user to control concepts instead of physical materials such as time gravity space and even creation and destruction would be considered conceptual magic.

And then there is hybrid magic where anything that doesn't directly fall into the other two categories falls into. The requirements to be considered hybrid magic is a lot more broad then the other two categories. For example a charm that let's the user shoot balls of explosive power at someone wouldn't be considered a fire spell even if the resulting explosion creates fire. The same goes for curses rituals and enchantments they could have similar results to the other two categories but the process is different.

And right now blood magic which is one of the most dangerous physical types of magic was about to be used to execute a family of three.

"Alright just relax your necks and it won't hurt a bit. Even if your just livestock I don't want to hear a bunch of kids squealing for to lo-" Voric said already reaching for the little boy who was still desperately clinging to his mother but mid sentence froze as his ear noticeably twitched his enhanced senses already hearing something odd. Actually now that he was focusing properly he could SMELL something.

"I smell.....Metal no specifically adamantium. Mixed with sweat dirt and blood and fur that smells like it's about a day old maybe at two at most. And I swear i just heard a footstep. Based on the way the ground crunched the footstep was to heavy to belong to a woman. But abnormally heavy for a man. Is it because of armor?" Voric thought to himself as there head immediately SNAPPED to the side ignoring the family at this point as they begun examining there surroundings along with the other four vampires who also sensed something was amiss. It took a lot to make something like an undead to feel cautious let alone scared or nervous but right now they suddenly felt as though they had to be cautious even if it hurt there egos.

"Welp the jig is up"

At that moment Voric and the other vampires immediately tried finding the source of this new deep voice that they had heard surprisingly close to them. But it was quickly drowned out by the sudden sound of roots ripping out of the earth as a nearby tree that was a mere thirty feet away creaked loudly as it ripped out of the ground and tossed in there direction like a makeshift javelin. The family let out scared screams as they all crouched down as low as they could to get hit by the sudden projectile while the vampires quickly leaped up narrowly avoiding the sudden strike with there unnatural and almost cat like movements.

"Someone was able to get that close to us without alerting us?!" Was all the vampires thought to themselves in both surprise and caution once they landed on there feet immediately turning in the direction of where the tree had come from.

Standing over where the tree had once stood was a large man clad in armor that almost made them look more like a walking suit of armor used to decorate castles then a man. They were tall standing around 6'3" with broad shoulders and a bulky body that may have been more from the bulky blackened steel surrounding there body. Regardless there armor was too grim looking to belong to a normal night there armor consisted of a jagged clawed full face helmet that had a T-shaped visor that almost looked like a thin cross made of a dark gray material. There armor consisted of a layer of chainmail that seemed to cover there entire body that was made of a blackened steel and covered by a second layer of thicker armor. The chestpiece was made of a thicker layer of sleek blackened steel that was almost mechanical and resembled a silver ribcage. They had a leather belt wrapped around there waist with various small pouches attached to it.

There legs were covered by a layer of thick blackened steel greaves that was almost scaly in appearance with thick brown leather boots. There shoulderpads consisted of dark gray jagged pauldrons that noticeably stuck out from there shoulders. And there fists were covered by thick jagged dark gray gauntlets that reached all the way up to there elbows and forearms with razor sharp tips around there knuckles. And strapped to there back was a cloak that seemed to made out of a gray fur material.

"He was able to sneak up on us and get this close without us noticing in such heavy armor?. Who could this guy be? An exorcist or some sort of paladin?. No most likely not there armor doesn't seem to be blessed or made of the same silver material and designs as the churches armor. This is most likely an independent hunter" Voric thought to himself as he and all the other vampires instinctively tensed up at the armored man in front of them. Even if there confident in there own strength it's not everyday a random man in heavy armor sneaks up on them like some sort of quiet statue.

"Aw god dammit i followed the scent of you five fucks thinking it'd lead me too my target but instead it's just five fucks picking on.....What seems to be a single mother and her kids pretty fucked up not gonna lie. Especially if she isn't s single mother and y'all just offed her kids dad which in hindsight might even be more messed up. Y'know what now that im talking this sentence is a lot more messed up then it was in my head so I'm just going to stop talking" The armored man calmly said even as they seemed to properly examined the scene in front of them while they stepped towards the squad of vampires there boots noticeably digging into the earth beneath them as they moved.

"What are you some sort of wannabe hero who thinks there invincible because of some armor?. It doesn't matter who you are or how high quality your armor is once your dead we can just turn you into a ghoul and find out where you came from." Was all Voric confidently said after examining the armored man for a moment. While they were curious as to who they were they also knew all they had to do was kill any human who got in there way.

"His armor seems to be made of refined adamantium. It's light enough to move around in but to heavy to make fast movements with. And based on the small clicking noises I hear coming from it there might be a Dwarven exoskeleton underneath it to help the humans movements. I can't see there muscle movements underneath all that armor but at this distance if he tries to run at us he's going to enhance his body with mana. When he does I'll take advantage of that moment to mean in and slit his throat!" Voric thought to himself already grinning as he quickly formed a plan in his mind. While humans weren't completely helpless and could use magic that doesn't completely erase there natural limits. No matter how much they train a normal human cannot naturally match a vampire in terms of natural physical strength considering there muscle fibers are dozens of times denser then a humans. As a result most humans enhance there body and physical abilities by infusing there muscle fibers with mana to get rid of the gap in strength.

Unfortunately it is a predictable strategy.

"I don't need to enhance my body with mana there is no gap in between my movements!. The moment you begin moving my sword will already pierce your neck you damn human!" Voric thought to himself already planning his victory.

In any other circumstances this tactic WOULD have worked. Unfortunately Voric wasn't exactly creative in his own mindset.

**CRUNCH**

The sound of the dirt crunching could be heard underneath the armored mans feet as they crouched down in a simple manner as though they were about to jump forward. And at the same time Voric also tensed up preparing to swing his sword forward in a slashing motion the moment the armored man used his mana.

But that moment never came.

**BANG**

The ground cracked underneath the armored mans feet as he lunged forward at speeds faster then any normal man should be able to move in such heavy armor there right fist winded back as they immediately closed the distance between them and the now stunned Voric.

"H-He didn't use mana. There was no sign of his movements or attack!. So how did he cross the THIRTY FEET between us without any momentum?!" Was the last thing the now stunned Voric thought to himself before he tried to shout out for the other vampires to "Get this son of a bitch" however all that came out of his mouth was a agonizing shout of pain and a spray of blood as the armored mans fist TORE through his chest putting an actual hole through where there heart was located the armored mans now bloody gauntlet drilling their corpse into the earth which was already withering away into black dust particles now that there heart was pierced.

**Jason POV**

So your probably why me a devilishly handsome absurdly intelligent and just all around a totally productive member of society am even doing here in the first place currently using a random vampires heart as a stress ball with my bare hands?. Well let me give you a LOT of very important context.

In the western continent of Elysium there are three major human kingdoms that make up a majority of the continents territory.

In the north there's the kingdom of Glacius which makes up the northern region of the continent.

In the west there's the kingdom of Arcadis which makes up the western region of the continent.

And in the southern region of the continent there's the kingdom of Camelot a kingdom that's known for being rich in "chivalry" honor resources fertile fields and blah blah blah.

But if you asked a normal not absurdly patriotic member of that kingdom who falls for the borderline propaganda the local lords try to feed there undereducated peasant citizens of there towns what they thought of the kingdom they'd probably say different things about Camelot.

Mainly about how it's a monarchy filled to the brim with nepotism aristocrats and royalty who don't give a rats ass about people not born in there probably incest filled "noble" bloodlines. And probably complain about the ridiculous taxes there forced to pay the occasional plague they deal with because of the lack of Healthcare underfunded Healthcare system and a morally corrupt government that if I'm going to be completely honest hasn't had any uprisings yet.

But now that im thinking about it it's probably because one of the previous princesses from like a billion generations ago was one of Chronos's old wives who gave birth to his son Arion. So I guess no one wants to be known as that guy plotting to overthrow the royal bloodline whose related to divinity.

Oh yeah and this kingdom is like super religious y'know?. Like go to church on Sundays and executing "Heretics" level religious so that raises a few problems depending on who you are.

But on the bright side the drinks are good there cheap not too hard to buy "Legally questionable" weapons and substances AND plenty of potato related dishes that taste decent. Of course that depends on if they season the bloody food or not but that's just my opinion.

ANYWAYS enough of my completely unbiased tourist guide on the government and stop ripping on them and let's move on to other things.....Like ripping on the religious!.

OK technically not ripping on religion itself it's more like I'm kind of ripping on the church and them not doing there jobs which isn't to different if you ask me but whatever.

But anyways let me give you some important context. It was about....A month ago when the small town of Ironrock (Which ironically is known for there baked goods instead of mining). A nice thriving little mountain town that had a population of about 6'000 unlucky bastards who found themselves victims of a vampire takeover and it doesn't take a genius to know that's not a situation you want to be in. Especially if your only defenses are a local militia of minimum wage barely qualified soldiers who consider GOBLINS a serious threat.

Now here's where things get tricky. Even though vampires don't attack in super large groups considering they reproduce at a slow rate it only takes around five or ten at most average vampires to easily ravage a small village of hicks. And this infestation unfortunately had THIRTY members so those guys were doomed from the start.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Now vampires are pretty damn scary even compared to other monster species. There a species that LOOK human (Well most of the time sometimes those weirdos do all sorts of weird mutations to themselves it's a whole thing). And like most magical humanoid species they unfortunately suffer from a serious case of god complexes and narcissism and unfortunately considers humanity there natural source of food without even asking our permission which i think is rude.

And when I say unfortunately I mean unfortunately for everyone who has to deal with these mosquito undead fucks.

And unfortunately there strong as shit for the average person. Immortality perfect never decaying bodies superhuman strength endurance that let's them walk off injuries that would kill an average Joe 100 times over and complain that the attack was too soft. Skin stronger then steel. Regeneration that let's them regrow lost limbs like stitching a dolls arm back on. Night vision and natural senses capable of putting any bloodhound to shame. Blood magic and all sorts of other dark arts genius levels of talent and intelligence weird transformation abilities and that's just the tip of the ICEBERG for all the abilities vampires have. And unfortunately they have a habit of trying to take over towns and cities killing the inhabitants enslaving them or turning them into livestock or usually all of the above In that order to make new settlements. Which is just a violent form of real estate technically but whatever.

The only real way to kill a vampire is either destroying there heads. Destroying there heart. Or somehow damaging the body so much that it's impossible for the vampire to regenerate.

Point is fighting one of these guys as an average person is how you get turned into a victim of forced blood donations that only stops when your completely drained of bodily fluids. HOWEVER that doesn't mean it is impossible to kill these undead narcissists.

Let me introduce the holy inquisition of the church of Chronos!. There as hypocritical as they are good at fighting and "Cleansing" dark creatures which means there really fucking good at killing the things that turn towns into human buffets.

It wasn't long until they decided to do there job and gave the now vampire infested town a visit. Sending a whole badass team of exorcists and paladins to deal with them was a good idea UNTIL they all got fucked up when they realized by what turned out to be a NOBLE vampire who was leading the whole operation.

Now vampires are pretty bad themselves by themselves but depending on the person if they know what there doing you might be able to fight pretty damn well against a vampire. But noble vampires are a completely ball game.

Now even though normal vampires have the same abilities as noble vampires technically there is one key factor that makes the two groups completely different. And that's experience.

Even though all vampires are immortal the average vampire is around 100 to 150 years old maybe 200 depending on the individual. But noble vampires members of aristocratic vampire clans who are as old as humanity itself are usually at LEAST one thousand years old.

Now let me give you a scenario. Let's say someone who has the perfect physique supernatural abilities genius level talent for most things they try and immortality decides to spend the next one thousand years learning how to kill people how good do you think there going to be at the end of those one thousand years of practice?.

If you guessed very damn good at killing then your right because that unnatural knowledge and skill that's impossible for any normal human to match is what makes noble vampires so much more dangerous even compared to other vampires.

So when the inquisitions rag tag little group of hunters were massacred after there unlucky encounter with a pissed noble vampire they and the kingdoms government had to make a decision on how they were going to handle them. There are only two real ways to kill a noble vampire either option one sending someone who is just as absurdly strong as them to kill them. OR attack them with a even larger force of men and beat them with human wave tactics.

Now tell me which option do you think they took?.

If you guessed option three where they decided "Y'know what we don't really care about this small little town of peasants let's just block off the area don't let anyone in or out let the vampires turn the towns into a all you can eat buffet and just wait until they get bored and stay there forever like they always do".

Human greed and laziness is a bitch ain't it?.

Well im not any better because to any other person they'll probably look at this situation and think "Oh my god this is such a sad situation". Well I'm not like that my morally questionable self heard about this and just thought "Huh so there's a bunch of unattended vampires no one else is going after just neatly bunched up in a small town? Well don't mind if I do".

Vampire fangs and blood are worth quite a bit on the black market and I hate the thought that these random vampire smhucks think they could bend humanity over and get away with it so I packed my shit and my budget monster hunter self traveled all the way here to kick ass. Of course I had an annoying random encounter with a werewolf pack but hey that's just life.

If anything you could consider that werewolf encounter a good thing since I got a good fur cloak out of it.

And now here I am surrounded by four vampires with my fist currently using the corpse of one of there now dead friends as a makeshift Muppet.

"You bastard human!" One of the vampires exclaimed already winding there clawed hand back a cut forming over there fingers before they swung there hand at me in a slashing motion releasing multiple sprays of blood at me in the shape of a curved arc.

"There movements are fast and they have the usual amount of power for a vampire but other then that there movements are basic and predictable" I thought to myself even as I instinctively side stepped to the right barely dodging the slash of blood magic thrown at me which cut right through a tree a few feet behind me before I stomped forward slamming my fist into the same vampires face with a right straight to the face which was enough to quickly knock the bastard on his undead ass based on the **CRACK** sound there skull made as my gauntlet connected.

"AAGH BASTARD!" The vampire exclaimed in pain as they fell on there back clutching there now shattered nose which was leaking blood from a single punch. A vampires skin is naturally as strong as skin in terms of durability so the fact a single punch was able to do more damage then a average hammer was enough to catch the usually composed undead off guard.

"There skull is still intact i need to split it before he recovers. Pulling out a weapon would slow me down" I thought to myself already raising my foot to stomp down on the vampires head but I quickly felt my body get lifted off the ground as the other three vampires quickly jumped in one of them ramming into my sides as one of the females quickly attempted to claw at the side of my helmet while the other female one quickly latched onto my back wrapping her legs around my waist while she wrapped her arms around my neck in a hold.

"FUCK!" I exclaimed letting out a small yelp as I was rammed into knocking me several feet back barely able too dig my feet into the dirt beneath me as I slid before regaining my footing before I instinctively raised my forearms to the side of my head as one of the vampires clawed at my right temple. Her strike made a metallic clash as my gauntlet parried her attack before I quickly countered by throwing a front kick at her chest which she was able to block by raising her arms in front of her core but the force did knock her several feet back giving me some space which I was relieved by. That was until the other fucked latched onto my back quickly getting me into a makeshift hold.

"DIE YOU STUPID HUMAN!" The female vampire on my back exclaimed letting out a grunt of exertion as I felt her unnatural grip around my neck tighten as her arms tensed up.

"I'll snap his neck and rip his head off like a dol-What?" The female vampire on my back thoughtnto herself before she felt her body jolt in place because as she attempted to twist his head but instead of feeling his head twist like any other humans would his body simply stayed in place.

"W-What is his body made out of?. My grip is strong enough to twist steel his head should be twiste-ACK" The female vampire said to no one in particular but I wasn't just going to let her ass keep trying to choke me so I simply raised my right arm and grabbed her by her face and tightened my grip as much as I could. I could hear her muffled agonizing pains and the sounds of flesh and bone crunching and twisting under my grip a small pop coming from her face as her right eye literally POPPED slightly from her socket from the force of my grip.

"Get off of me BITCH!" I exclaimed quickly jamming my elbow into her side with my other arm before I swung my right arm forward swinging the undead off of my back and slamming her ass into the ground before she could counter attack. I didn't give her the chance to try and escape my grip as I quickly grabbed a nearby rock with my free hand that neatly fit in the palm of my hand and raised it above my head.

**CRUNCH** **CRUNCH** **CRUNCH** **CRUNCH** **CRUNCH**

Five strikes was all it took for me too split the undeads skull open despite her rather loud and honestly disturbing "Protests" in the form of loud painful screams as I caved her head in with repeated bashes with my rock and fist. Christ i hope I don't get brain matter or skull fragments stuck in my gauntlets.

"Alright you fucks I hate having to improvise in fights like these so I MIGHT not completely maul you guys if you answer a few questions without any problems" I said as I dropped my now crumbling apart rock still dripping with blood as the female vampires corpse slowly crumbled apart into black dust particles which was enough for me to quickly toss the rock aside. After all a totally sane individual wouldn't keep a rock they used to cave in a vampires skull.

I mean sure the fact i caved in a vampires skull with a rock and beat it to death with my other hand could be considered "Psychotic behavior and should be investigated for it". But it's a matter of perspective when you really think about it.

I mean from a normal person's perspective I probably look like a unhinged psycho getting there rocks off killing monsters with even more violence then the actual monsters. But if you really think about it I'm just another minimum wage worker just trying to make a living who has to use a lot of self defense because of my line of work.

Anyways as I turned to the remaining vampires I could see the one who I rocked earlier was already back on his feet having wiped his bloody nose off and was ahead of the remaining three looking rather pissed for some reason but hey its not like i did anything to make them mad in the first place.

"HOW DARE YOU KILL MY SISTER I CAST BLOOD WHIP!" The vampire exclaimed in anger already shooting out an abnormally long slightly curved rope of blood from there palm which they begun swinging in my direction the liquid moving with an unnatural fluidity each time he swung it.

"So each time he swings it he keeps the blood in liquid form to decrease the weight and increase the flexibility and range but right it connects with whatever he wants it too he temporarily solidifies the blood. The steely hardness of the blood right before impact is what it let's it cut through even stone" I thought to myself quickly jumping back when I saw the "Whips" heading my way barely dodging the first strike before jumping behind a nearby tree to give myself some protection and limit the movement of his attacks but quickly crouched the moment I saw the second strike cleanly cut through the tree making it a rather inefficient shield as the vampire continued swinging the whip in circular motions forcing me to continue jumping back.

At that moment though I felt the air around me shift as I could practically FEEL something rip through the air closing in towards me from the side and I could already make a plan in my head when I saw the male vampire winding there arm back to swing there whip at me again.

"Thank you for your sacrifice ma'am" I said not even looking to my side as I stepped to the side right as a hand shot out from the shadow of a tree besides me which belonged to the only remaining female vampire whose body shot out from the shadows in a failed attempt to claw at my ankles.

But I felt nice so instead of hitting her myself I let someone else do it for me so I quickly reached for my side roughly grabbing at her hair and forcefully tugging/dragging her to the side despite her loud and surprised yelp of pain as I promptly swung her body in the direction of the male vampire. Specifically his whip which he had poorly timed to swing in my direction.

"You idiot cancel your spel-ACK!" The female vampire begun to speak but mid sentence let out a distorted cry of pain as the male vampires whips accidentally struck right through her own body instead of my own as she was tossed in there general direction. One of the whips tore through the side of her head as the other one hit her in the torso cleanly splitting it in half.

Another one down two more to go.

"Oh my god that wasn't intentional!" The male vampire said getting snapped out of there angered state as they instinctively canceled spell there whips disappearing into a small fog of bloody mist as they let out a surprised yelp as they watched the pieces of there comrades body land a few feet from there feet because of there accidental mishap.

That small gap in judgement was all I needed to strike.

**BANG**

I could feel my legs practically explode with power as I quickly dashed forward closing the distance between me and the vampire using my own momentum to my advantage as I winded my right fist back in that same motion.

"So you can use blood magic huh?. Well i cast FIST!" I exclaimed as I swung my right fist in a upward motion throwing a right uppercut that rocked there head upwards with a brutal **SNAP**. Blood droplets leaked out of there mouth as they attempted to instinctively step back to make some sort of distance but I quickly swing my left hand forward palming there face as I lunged forward putting my body weight against them which knocked them backwards.

"How's this for a stake?" I said already reaching to the side as I quickly sat on the vampires torso in a mounting position as I got on top of them and grabbed a nearby branch that had fallen off of the tree one of his whips had cut down earlier.

"Hey i order you to get off of m-AAAAGGGHHH!" The vampire begun to speak in a panicked tone of voice but let out a pained shout as I swung the branch down as hard as I could down onto there chest where there heart was in a makeshift stake. Unfortunately the tip of the branch was too dull to pierfe all the way through so it sort of just stuck halfway out of there chest which was a bit awkward for me not going to lie.

"Oh sorry about that let me just uh. Finish that for you" I said raising my fist upwards before swinging down on the bottom half of the branch like a hammer hitting a nail which buried it into the vampires chest piercing it's heart completely causing the vampire to cough out a spray of blood from there mouth as they were struck down. There body quickly ignited into ethereal blue flames that while they didn't hurt me felt cold against my skin as the vampires body crumbled apart like a corpse on fire leaving nothing behind but bone fragments and ashes where there body had once been.

".....Y'know now that im thinking about it I should've asked you guys questions BEFORE I started killing y'all one by one its kind of the whole point of interrogation. But it's ok you look like the smartest kid in your class so how about you tell me what I want to kn-FUCK" I begun to say as I turned to the last vampire the jerk who had rammed into me earlier but was interrupted as he once flew into my body throwing a right straight punch that knocked me several feet back. My body literally wasn't touching the ground until I ended up hitting a tree behind me which painfully stopped my sudden flight.

"I'll kill you for ripping apart my friends you bastard!" I could hear the vampire say as I quickly scrambled to my feet as I instinctively threw a right hook in his direction once I heard his footsteps getting closer. But my fist hit nothing but air as he quickly leaned back dodging my strike before he swung his clawed right hand at me in retaliation.

I quickly bobbed my head to the left dodging the undeads claws before raising my fists up to my eyes as I threw a left jab as a counter which made a small *pop* noise as it connected with his head rocking his head backwards. I then swung my torso to the right using the momentum to throw a right hook at there temple which rocked there head to the opposite direction once it connected but I continued my assault by throwing a left hook hitting there other temple.

**BANG** **BANG** **BANG** **BANG**

My torso swung side to side like a pendulum as I rocked the vampires skull side to side with hook after hook before winding my right fist back for one last straight punch aimed right for the bastards jaw.

However before I could strike the vampire abruptly let out a loud roar of anger most likely in a final attempt at attacking as they suddenly lunged forward with a burst of adrenaline there mouth opened unnaturally wide as they latched onto my left fist.

Now what is a vampires most dangerous weapon?. Of course depending on the vampire in question it might be there magic or there skill with a weapon there a very versatile species. But regardless of a vampires preferred way of killing there all born with a natural weapon for killing.

And its none other then there fangs which just like there bones and muscle fibers which never stop developing denser as they get older there fingers never stop getting sharper the older they get.

Combine that with there superhuman muscle fibers around there necks and jaws the average vampire has a bite force of 20'167 N. That's a bite force stronger then even a great white sharks bite force and that's without any magic. It's a pretty ridiculous bite force considering how much smaller the average vampire is compared to a great white shark or other animals with similar bite forces.

Combine that with there abnormally sharp fangs being bitten by a vampire is a quick way to lose a chunk of whatever part of your body is being bitten.

"Once I rip through his armor I'll bite his entire fucking hand off!. After all that he won't be able to fight properly!" The vampire thought to themselves as they bit down as HARD as they possibly could veins forming on the side of his neck from the sheer amount of exertion he was putting behind the bite.

But then again not everything is always guaranteed to go the way science and statistics says there supposed too.

"ACK" The vampire let out a strangled muffled noise of surprise because as they bit down instead of feeling the familiar feeling of there jaw going through flesh like a hot knife through butter they felt there jaw freeze in place as I forcefully grabbed there lower jaw with my fist that they had rudely bitten and was forcefully pulling there lower jaw down as I pulled on there hair with my other hand forcefully pulling there upper jaw up preventing them from biting onto my hand. Before the undead could make a proper counter attack I quickly took my free hand out of there hair and instead shoved my fist into there mouth grabbing onto there upper jaw pulling there mouth wider and wider even as there jaw and flesh creaked in protest.

"Christ you vampires have an annoying amount of bite behind your jaws. But once you get past all your fancy tricks your all as easy to kill as any other average Joe" I said in between small grunts of exertion as I continued forcefully spreading there jaw unnaturally wide having to fight against there unnatural bite force as they attempted to close there mouth. But once he realized he wasn't going to win this round of tug of war the vampire begun pulling on my arms with his own trying to pry my hands out of his mouth in a desperate attempt to get out of this but he wasn't able to do much as I continued applying more and more pressure on there jaw to the point they were brought to there knees letting out muffled protests as I continued pulling there jaw wider.

"ADVERT YOUR EYES CHILDREN!" Was all i shouted in the direction of the woman and her children already knowing how this was going to end as I promptly pulled on the vampires jaw as hard as I could.

Now we here at "Budget monster hunters for hire" do not promote the use of gore and traumatizing amounts of violence to strike down the forces of darkness.

But it is very effective.

**RIIIIIIPPPP**

The sounds of flesh tearing as the vampires body was ripped in half starting from there mouth to there torso like a bag of chips that was opened a bit too hard.

"OH GOD KIDS LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY" The woman said with a absolutely panicked look that said "OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" as she quickly covered her kids eyes who were no longer crying but instead looked curious as to what this "Hero" was about to do but there eyes were covered by there mother's hands as she was trying not to gag.

"Oh god that's going to be so hard to wash out later. I swear to god if the smell stays longer for a week I'm going to be so pissed." I muttered to myself as I dropped the halves of the vampires.....Corpses technically if you count each ripped half there own corpse as I wiped the blood now staining my gauntlets on my cloak quickly stepping back before the entrails and pool of blood coming from the vampires corpse slowly spread.

And just like that I had saved....A random woman and her two kids out of the thousands of other town people who are probably dead by now. That's a pretty good job statistic if I say so myself.

Alright time to be heroic and get some information. It should be easy i mean i literally saved this woman's life and kids she'd probably PAY ME if I asked nicely.

"Ok any entrails on me?....Nope just some blood but that's fine. Ahem hello ma'am do not worry you are sa-" I begun to say trying to make my voice sound "Heroic" even if it was a bit exaggerated as I turned to the small group after checking my armor for any spilled body parts that might've gotten on me before turning towards the group and begun offering the woman my hand once I noticed her knees was bleeding.

"NO DON'T TOUCH ME OR MY KIDS PLEASE!" The woman practically screamed at me sounding more scared of me then the actual vampires earlier once I begun bringing my hand closer to her and stepped towards her.

......The hell?.

"Uh ma'am you don't need to be scared I'm trying to he-" I begun to say now slightly confused but once again got interrupted by the woman's shouting.

"P-PLEASE IF YOU HAVE MONEY I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT JUST DON'T TOUCH MY KIDS AT LEAST" The woman said trying to pull her now confused kids behind her as she frantically rummaged through her dress.

.....Is this lady seriously doing this?.

"Ma'am I'm trying to help y-" I begun to say attempting to hide my annoyance at this point but this time was interrupted as she promptly tossed a small leather porch at my face that rattled with the sounds of coins inside of it.

And just as the coin pouch literally hit me I was metaphorically hit with the realization as to WHY this lady was practically shitting herself even though I just saved her life.

One my gauntlets were still dripping with the blood of the vampire who I had ripped in half. And two she just watched a guy rip apart vampires with his bare hands as though they were a turkey being pulled apart during dinner.

Not exactly the most "comforting" rescue now that im thinking about it.

"......Tonight is not going to be worth the money" I thought to myself unable to stop myself from literally facepalming which earned another shout of fear from the woman who now seemed to associate every single one of my movements with danger.
