The Great Vampire General is a Girl! - Chapter 58

The sound of a pained and sorrowful roar filled the entire dungeon beneath the Dubois mansion. The location was very close to Valerie and Raphael’s wedding party. But the thick layers of concrete and layered trellises have helped hide the dire reality of what was happening there from the world.

“Aaarghhh!!!”

A pale figure with a bent body was seen curled up while beating the stone floor beneath it in frustration. Tears welled up in his eyes, which were now almost completely black. His clothes were torn as his body was expanding uncontrollably. The ribs became more prominent and looked painful. He was barely recognizable, except for the silver hair that was the hallmark of the Dubois line.

Jasper couldn’t attend Valerie’s wedding until it was over. Even though he had drunk quite a lot of blood the day before. But his thirst hit again and this time there was something different. This had never happened before. Jasper felt he was possessed by something. It was as if he was no longer himself.

Veronica Dubois, his mother, cried beside him while keeping her distance. She sacrificed an old woman for Jasper just now. And his son immediately drank her blood until it ran out. But that wasn’t enough for him anymore. He wanted to rage.

Even if he locked himself in a pure silver trellis prison—he was still able to loosen some of the bars. He didn’t care if his palms were burnt and blistered from the silver touching his skin. He tried to run away. He was trying to get out.

But half of him knew that he was safer in that place. At least he wouldn’t spoil his sister’s wedding, let alone kill more innocent people.

“Mom, I’m so ugly right now,” Jasper cried in his hoarse voice.

“No, my dear, you’re still handsome. Calm down, Jasper,” Veronica cried. She had completely forgotten that her daughter was married. Which mother did not grieve to see her son in pain and suffering. Jasper had been through it almost his entire life and his symptoms weren’t getting any better.

“I’m thirsty Mom, I have to drink,” Jasper cried.

“Mother, I’m a monster,” he said again in a lower voice. He sobbed.

“No Jasper, you—”

“GIVE THE HUMAN TO ME! GIVE HER TO ME!” Jasper shouted furiously, shaking the trellis. He had lost his sanity. There were several knights standing guard nearby. They were all vampires though most were not pure blooded.

His legs and hands were chained. Jasper did it himself before he completely lost his sanity. Only the silver surrounding him at this time could weaken him.

If things took a turn for the worse, the knights were ready to open the curtains and let the sun shine on him. It will only weaken him. But didn’t kill him. But Veronica didn’t want Jasper to experience it because it was so painful for him. But maybe if the trellises were broken, Veronica would let his body burn.

Burns from sunburn for vampires didn’t go away easily. Jasper would probably be ugly. But he would rather live as a cripple than know that he had killed countless people without him knowing.

“Jasper, my son, calm down,”

A bearded man, wearing a formal suit and leather shoes, walked up to the prison that had Jasper locked in.

“Who are you?” Veronica asked.

The mysterious man involved was quite old and just nodded at the Duchess and continued walking towards Jasper who was now growling at him like a beast.

“Hell creature, you shouldn’t be here. Why did you have to inhabit poor Jasper’s body?” He touched one of the trellises. There was smoke rising from it. Silver hurt him. He was also a vampire.

Then following behind him was General Maxwell who looked wary. Maxwell may have been of high rank in Florentia, but he wasn’t a fighting vampire. He was the leader of a Scout unit that gathers all military information from around the world. Maxwell was also one of Dubois’ guests and wore a civilian suit.

Both of them still wore the badges pinned to their pockets. Shows that they were knights of the rank of general.

“Sir! He is dangerous! You have no idea how many vampires and humans he’s killed!” Veronica cried.

“Why did you hide him until he got this bad?” Maxwell rebuked her.

“I did have a guess about the devil’s DNA, according to a report I read in Taverin..I even asked sir Jasper directly. But I didn’t expect it to reach this level,” Maxwell criticized.

“We can handle it!” Veronica defends herself.

“In what way? Feeding it continuously with human blood is proving not very good..he’s drifting further and further away from her normal vampire side,” Maxwell was still criticizing the Duchess.

“Duchess, your son is more dangerous than you think. Allow us to take military action on him,” another general said in a mysterious tone.

“Please don’t hurt him,” Veronica pleaded.

“And don’t take him away from the Dubois mansion,” Veronica said again.

He had expected it, when Jasper finally showed his power to the world, neither Florentia nor Avalon would stand still. They would be attracted to him. Maybe they would take him to a secret facility where he would never see his family again. The Dubois couple had mobilized the power of their money to keep Jasper safe.

But they were totally amateurs about it. They didn’t know how to control Jasper. They didn’t know how to cure it. They didn’t even dare ask anyone about Jasper before. It was a disgrace that at the same time could threaten the peace of his son.

“Chronos!” The older general shouted, then a scythe-like weapon was now in his hand.

“Reverse time!!” He said again.

Then a pentagram painting that glowed golden appeared in the air and shone on Jasper’s body. A magical chain emerged from it and began to entangle Jasper’s body. Then a few minutes passed as the light faded. Jasper opened his eyes. He looked confused by her condition.

His body was already normal, he was handsome and charming as usual. His clothes were even back to the way they were when he watched his sister walk down the aisle.

“What happened?” He looked confused.

“Jasper!” Veronica rushes to unlock his prison and several knights untie his silver chains. Veronica hugged him tightly. Meanwhile, the reddish bruises from being touched by the silver began to fade rapidly. Jasper had a higher regeneration ability than ordinary pureblood vampires.

“Sir Jasper doesn’t remember anything, I rewinded his life time by about six hours before he transformed into a hell monster. But in a few hours he will change again,”

“What? Then what should we do?”

“If he has already grown wings, even any general wouldn’t be able to withstand it. Therefore, let me explain your current condition, sir Jasper,” The general holding the Chronos weapon began to speak.

“So, this is a symptom that appears only in pure-blood vampires. There are some people who are born with demonic DNA thicker than any vampire. Vampires, created from the fusion of humans with demonic curses. That’s what makes us unable to live like humans.”

“Demon DNA can take over the bodies of specially born vampires like Jasper, giving them incredible strength and irresistible thirst. You’ve all seen that happen to sir Jasper..however, devils shouldn’t exist in the world. Because of that sir Jasper is very vulnerable to sunlight. The repercussions were far worse than those experienced by other vampires. I think sir Jasper is the owner of the strongest demon DNA I have ever seen. If the power can’t be controlled then—”

“Tell me sir! How can I cure it?” Jasper looked desperate, he held the general’s arm who had a mustache and a thin beard as if pleading.

“Sir Jasper, you must have suffered a lot during this time. But we might be able to help you . . it’s just that you have to be aware and willing to do that,” said the general again.

“What do you mean?” Jasper asked.

“My name is Alexander Gregovich, General of Avalon,” the man introduced himself.

“Sir! You want to take Jasper to Avalon’s side? He’s a Duke candidate!”

“Isn’t the safety of himself and those around him more important right now? You wouldn’t want a potential successor who is also a Monster. Is that right?” General Gregovich asked.

“Jasper? Has anyone asked you to join before?” Maxwell asked.

“Not asking me to join, Commander Petrovsky said that Avalon had a place for people like me. They said they could help me. And I’ve turned them down, mother,” Jasper shook his head.

“In six hours, you will be again possessed by the Devil’s DNA, sir Jasper. I am here at the invitation of Duke Dubois. I also wanted to see what you looked like from the report I received from Petrovsky. As it turns out, you are quite lucky that I can manipulate time. But not forever. So, what’s your decision?”

“Jasper is not going to Avalon to be the subject of your experiment!” Veronica forbade, she bit her lip because she was so emotional.

“Your Grace, believe me, only Avalon has the facilities to deal with Jasper,” Maxwell muttered.

“And you! aren’t you a Florentian general? But why do you even familiarize yourself with the enemy? You—” Veronica pointed at General Maxwell’s accusing face.

General Alexander did another time manipulation, he rubbed Veronica’s eyes and looked confused for a while. .the general did the same to other eyewitnesses.

“What happened? Why are we in the basement? Valerie’s wedding dance should have started,” Veronica looked confused and in a hurry.

“Jasper! I’ll be waiting for you in the dance hall..this time you might meet a girl you like,” Veronica laughed before disappearing down the hall.

“So sir Jasper, what’s your decision?” asked the general again.

Jasper took a breath. If the situation was really that bad, he would have to find another way to deal with it. Including asking Avalon for help though.

“I’ll come along, but I don’t want to be the object of your experiment,” said Jasper.

“No, of course not. I’m not the mad scientist Rutherford.. I have my ways,” he said again sympathetically.
