[Daily quest: Kill the enemy, and drink every bit of his blood.]
I turned to look at the bloody, mushy, and gooey flesh of the filthy old man oozing with a disgusting smell of sweat and fear.
"Nah!! Hell No! No way I am bringing my mouth any closer to this filth!" I yelled out loud.
It was enjoyable with my Alya, but this just sounded too heart wrenchingly disgusting.
[As this is your first daily quest, you will receive a newbie giftpack additionally with quest reward for compilation…]
The system tried to negotiate but my response was instant, "I don't need it. Even if you say my heart will stop the next second, I still won't do it!" I had some principles you know. I will be a shell of a man if I tried to suck blood out of that mess.
[…You can also 'drink' blood through your nails. and any other body part with 'hole'.]
Hmm? Now this was intriguing. If I just pushed my nail through his head, I could complete the quest easily… My face brightened as I nodded repeatedly. Shamelessly I moved past my outburst just a minute ago.
[The quest's purpose was to test the host's will to kill…]
'Er, yeah it's quite bad, I guess… Killing someone, and drinking blood, yeah, yeah, I feel scared…' No one bought it, the poor system just vanished in a self deprecating manner.
But, I really couldn't feel much about it.
Maybe it's because of my new vampire body.
Maybe it's because this guy treated me and Alya worse than animals.
It didn't matter.
The guards were rushing here, I had to escape while carrying Alya. There's no time to waste thinking about morality on a scumbag.
With a quick sprint, I ran towards the barely breathing man, his entire body twitching intensely as if he was having a stroke or a cardiac arrest.
"Monster… I was foolish. A Monster like you could never…. Saint William won't let this pass by… Just like all the children, women, men of your kind, you and your woman will die too. Gods are on our side… Praise the Tsukiyomi" He shouted weird things, his voice sounding like a special ed kid who was also a crackhead through his broken jaw.
'Saint? Really now?.' If their saints protected people like him, thinking of vampires as cute and adorable as my wifey Alya, "Monsters", what would the normal men be like then?
"I agree to your proposal." I said with a serious, trustworthy face.
"Huh?"
"Yes. I don't need anything else either, just that thing you said. You said 'I know something you would really want to know'." His eyes glowed, thinking over the thought of going back to his family again. He was a man who'd just accepted death.
"I had to put you in this condition for the reason I am sure you could guess.
You will be able to live a normal life again, I will just leave you alone. I am sure you have a way to heal yourself." He was clearly a man of authority and power.
"Quee—Queen Frieda's execution happened yesterday, entire world celebrated… But, the truth is, she managed to escape from the holy prison." He replied hurriedly, blurting out what seemed to be a very big secret of his organization.
Frieda? Images of a blonde haired beautiful woman with red eyes flashed in my mind, my pupils dilating. These were from Alya's memories… The same woman who fed her poison, or trained her till she was unconscious. I wasn't sure who she was, but 'Queen' said enough. She was the Queen of vampires!
I see… That will indeed be useful. She should be friendly towards us since, apparently we are her last subjects. From the memories, she was clearly incredibly powerful, and mysterious. I should try to meet up with her… After getting outta this hellhole, I knew now what I need to do first. All the secrets of this world, vampires, why do people hate us, everything. I need information first to even attempt to strive for strength, power… harem, etc.
With a nod, I made my ring finger's nail grow to five inches, and shoved it at the center of the forehead emotionlessly, without hesitation, staring at his widening, shock filled eyes, and let it grow even more when inside his brain—killing him instantly.
Of course, that was a lie. I shook my head. He was a smart man, yet because of his desperation, he became an idiot…
I tried to gather all blood to my fingertip, with a thought, my body instinctively complied, and my finger trembled.
With every tremble of my finger, thick hot blood rubbed against the inside of my finger's nail, pushing itself forward towards the small gap that led it to my body.
My finger twitched, then my entire body, the blood was opening a wider and wider gap in between my nail, and finger. It hurt like hell when air touched the sensitive part under the nail, and the blood that felt burning hot passed forcefully through it.
This time, it wasn't pleasurable, but it still was pleasant, like drinking cold water after being thirsty for a few days.
Even the blood that was stuck on the man's clothes, and around his body started to gather towards the direction of my ring's nail, hurriedly climbing up.
It was surreal, and a magical sight to say the least.
It wasn't anywhere close to when I drank the blood of Alya. The pleasure, the incredible heat, the comfort.
All vampires surely suck blood to heal, but one can't always find the delicious blood of their partner. They must hunt other humans, or animals for that! Than, shouldn't they drink from nails? Using mouth on other humans should count as cheating. Don't tell me they use some other holes than this…
I thought over random stuff as the man's body looked more like a dried leaf than a man's, but there was still some blood left.
The system said 'every bit.'
With a deep exhale, I increased the speed of sucking.[Vitality: 40…45/80]
[Endurance: 12…13../20]
[Strength: 12/12]
[Agility: 10/10]
[Dexterity: 7/10]
[Intelligence: 18/20]
"Hmm… I still need more blood." I sighed at the absence of pain on my fingertips, that was all the blood. My stats still weren't fully recovered. Cons of having high stats and early game level heals.
I Bit my lip at the sound of tens of footsteps that were too loud to ignore any longer.
With a sharp sting in my eyes, I activated the [Eye of Sanguine] and a frown creeped up. 10..20… over thirty men were sprinting to this room, their speed too fast for normal humans.
They were called 'guards' so they should have more deadly swords and guns too. There's no way I am winning against all of them while protecting Alya…
*[Ding!!]
{Daily Quest completed!}
The red screen manifested with a sparkling sound effect, with that sound, light returned to my eyes.
'Maybe that newbie giftpack can help?' I enthusiastically shifted my focus to the translucent skin.
