RE:BORN Zombie - Chapter 130 A Different Plan

Chapter 130 A Different Plan

Perhaps, the best thing for the vampires was the fact that Victor had no idea about the ritual they just performed, and except for the altar, nothing else was telling about it. Victor did do a quick scan around the room for any abnormal thing, but he didn’t exactly knew what the room looked like to begin with, it was really not possible to tell what was amiss.

The vampires however didn’t need to say or explain much, as it was pretty clear that they were the ones who created the thing that cause the gate to open. The problem came when they had to say the reason for the creation of the thing to begin with.

Victor still had his skill activated, but the vampires had started adapting a bit. His own brain was going through possible reasons why they would create such a machine. The most obvious was that they wanted to bring other vampire families to earth, probably to fight against him. Maybe they weren’t the strongest, and the question of how a world with a fully functioning blood drinking society fared was also an interest.

Before Victor could get something viable though, the vampire lord managed to speak. “Please, maybe we can leave this matter for now.” He said, even his undead body that didn’t sweat felt a little cold in Victor’s presence.

“Why so?” Victor asked, not speaking him his more lively tone.

“Our world no longer has humans, so we had to live on pigs and artificial blood. Those vampires are tasting real blood after a long time, the effects it will have on them will be very great, and we also have to make sure which family’s vampires made it through.” The vampire lord said, squinting his eyes a little as he said the last part, while his brows came even closer together.

Victor remained silent for a while after the vampire lord said this, but in his mind, he could see what was being attempted, therefore reinforcing his earlier believe that something was not in place. Also, there was someone missing.

As Victor was about to say something, the door opened, and one of the elders entered the room. As soon as he did, he noticed Victor was present, and that confirmed the pressure he was feeling from outside the door. The elder must have thought that something happened within some elders or even the vampire lord and an elder, but lo and behold , it was the one person they were trying to avoid.

Victor only gave a firm stare to the elder who just entered, causing the elder to freeze on the spot, before turning his eyes back to the vampire elder, and then without a word disappeared.

As soon as he left, one of the elders spoke.

“Is it only me, or does something feel different about him today?” She spoke.

“Yes… something… Familiar..”

They couldn’t quite put their fingers on it, but they could really feel something was different. Of course, though Victor was a vampire in some large degree, he wasn’t just any vampire, and definitely not exactly a typical vampire species.

..

Victor after leaving the vampires returned to base to meet with Maggie. He had come to the conclusion that the vampires had opened the gate to call for backup, but unknown to them, he had a different plan.

To him, it was a bonus for there to be more vampires. It meant that he wouldn’t have to wait for the vampires to create more of their species before he could get evolution material. Already, he had a good idea of what to do.

“Maggie, how long does a gate lat before closing?” Victor asked.

“Normally, it would last two weeks and after that monsters would start pouring out, at least that is the data I could get from the previous cases.” She said. Gate weren’t as common as dungeons, so not much was known about them.

“But, with the amount of energy this one is emitting, I can’t say if it will stay longer or if it will break before two weeks are up.” She said.

“There are things from the other side that have crossed over to this side already.” Victor said. On hearing what he said, Maggie stopped what she was doing for a brief moment before continuing.

“That is very strange. If so, then this is a completely different situation, and normal data might not apply in this case.” She said, leaving what she was doing and turning towards Victor in full attention, in wait.

“I want to go inside the gate and check things out.” Victor said. Maggie didn’t react in any particular manner, but she tried to advice against it as this one behaved differently from normal gates, but it fell on deaf ears. She then tried to persuade Victor for her to accompany her, but that didn’t work either, and before long he disappeared.

He had provided her with the information that the vampires were the ones responsible for the gate in the first place, and that even after the machine they used initially had broken down and was no longer in power, the gate didn’t close. This information was very intriguing to some point, and it piqued Maggie’s interest to some point.

Back at the sight of the gate, Victor appeared in the city at the spot he stood when he first came, and just within the few minutes he left, the vampires had made total mess of the entire place, and the city was mostly empty and quiet, like an abandoned place.

Before he attempted to enter the gate and go vampire hunting in a whole new whole, there was something he planned to do. At least when someone went to a new place, it was good to carry a guide and not try to do things and figure things alone.

Victor didn’t even walk through the street for long before he came across a vampire. Unlike the ones he was used to, these ones seemed more savage and bloodthirsty. ‘Guess what they said about hunger huh?’ He thought to himself, really feeling blessed he didn’t have to suffer this weakness.

“Strange, what are you?” The vampire asked in a deep voice. He was at least 6’5 feet tall, and was well built, though because he hunched his back a bit, he looked a bit creepy.

Without answering, Victor appeared beside the vampire and touched him on the arm. He was way faster than the vampire, so the vampire couldn’t even react on time before he died as Victor had used touch of death o him. Victor then wasting no time raised him back as part of his legion and made him spill some intel about where the other vampires were in the city, if they gathered anywhere.

According to the vampire, they were supposed to gather at a particular place in some minutes time, so Victor decided to wait.

After about 20 minutes, it was time for the regrouping. Victor made sure to leave a mark on the vampire, and he also positioned himself far away in some building that gave him a view of their meeting spot. He couldn’t see everything well, but it was enough. Two minutes went by, and after Victor counted thirty of them, which was their number as according to the one he was controlling, he activated his teleportation skill, and at that exact moment appeared in the midst of the vampires.

Before they could all react to the sudden appearance, Victor didn’t let them and activated his skill, negative burst. To his surprise, the skill didn’t kill most of them, as only around seven fell dead. Victor was really not expecting this outcome, but not giving them a chance to counter attack, he moved first.
