'Orange colored eyes. Amber vampire.' His hand faced towards their direction and Hunter immediately dodged the fireballs he threw at them. A wolf tattoo with a shade that resembled Yin and Yang peeked through the Amber vampire's palm. Vivian quivered with anger.

"It's them," she jumped off from Hunter's grasp and bolted herself towards the Amber vampire. Holding the vial containing a green liquid, Vivian charged towards the vampire with no regard for whatever attack he threw at her.

Vivian managed to dodge half of the fireballs he threw at her. She was more concerned about the encirclement of fire he kept on recreating to trap her in an area. Vivian jumped and flipped at the signs of the encirclement on the ground.

The tattoo. She would not be mistaken. It's the same tattoo she had been researching for years. It was the same tattoo on the chest of the vampire who stole her mother's life. As her final desperate attempt to slaughter the vampire, Vivian's mother stabbed her holy sword against his chest. His clothing around the wound scrunched up as a reaction born from his blood and the sword.

Vivian remembered vividly how he pulled out the sword from his chest with his cold, indifferent eyes and sunk his teeth into her mother until her sword turned into a floating light and the vampire's chest only showed a bloody wolf tattoo with a shade that resembled Yin and Yang. His deep wounds had been patched up by her mother's blood.

She could never forget that tattoo. Vivian jumped on the barbecue stand to dodge the Amber Vampire's attacks, causing it to tumble over. Her foot slipped and she nose-dove on the ground with her hand and legs stopping the momentum. The bottle she held on her hand shattered and she curled her hands against the cement, hoping to catch her breath and for another spike of adrenaline.

"Did you finally tire yourself? Damn, you're so annoying." When Vivian looked at the Amber Vampire, he already had his foot trampling against Hunter's back. He shot four different flaming arrows into Vivian's flesh. Liquid gushed down her the lip she tore from keeping herself from yelping. Hunter squirmed under the vampire, aiming to create an opening for both of them. His sword was kicked to his side, just enough to be out of his reach.

Hunter flipped himself, wrapped his arms around the vampire's leg, and yanked it, causing the vampire to lose balance. Hunter turned his body so he could kick his dagger back to his reach. The vampire threw a ball of fire to project the dagger further from him, but Hunter swiftly turned his back to protect the dagger and take the hit. Then, he turned his body around to stab the vampire on the back.

The vampire stood still, as if paralyzed, and dropped with his knees on the ground. The orange color on his eyes seemed to have drained itself, showing pure white irises. Hunter panted as he looked towards Vivian.

A Jade vampire held her by the neck with his claws protruded. He had his arms wrapped against her neck and used her wounded body as a shield for any of Hunter's attacks. He had a blue face paint on his face with spades drawn on his cheeks. "I-if you don't want to see her dead, throw your dagger close to me." Hunter glanced at the vampires him and Vivian tied up. They were now being untied by another Jade vampire.

'Are you fucking serious?' Hunter looked further towards the Main Hall and recognized Isabelle and Matthew among the people sprawled on the ground. The Amber vampire had already gotten away from his reach.

'You're not really strong unless you use underhanded tricks, huh Matthew?' Hunter remembered arguing with him right in front of the Main Hall when he drew his sword and stabbed him in the stomach.

The holy sword did not just absorb a vampire's abilities, it also greatly fatigues the body upon contact. It was similar to getting blood drawn from a human. They would feel fatigue and it would take some time for their body to adjust to the loss. Vampires, of course, take a quicker time to adjust. Matthew continued to punch and stab him in the sword during that period.

"One condition. In her front pocket, there should be a vial with blue liquid in it. Get her to drink that and I'll give you my sword." Seeing the Jade vampire hesitate, Hunter added, "even if you kill her, your master over here might as well be half dead. I can kill him easily and come after all of you next. And you won't get me or my sword. It'd be a lose-lose," Hunter ignored his scorched back, sneering at the Jade Vampire in front of him.

The Jade vampire looked away, searched Vivian's pocket with his free hand, used his mouth to uncork the bottle, and let Vivian drink the blue liquid in it.

"Vivian, I know you're still conscious. Make sure to drink it properly," Hunter struggled to fight off the fatigue in his body. He relaxed a little when he saw her gulp down the fluid. His knees wobbled to the ground after throwing his dagger to the vampire with blue face paint.

The vampire let go of Vivian and snatched Hunter's dagger. The other Jade vampires had been untied, and some of them helped the injured walk.

A vampire's pure white eyes loomed behind Hunter, his body striding towards Vivian, his long red coat with golden pattern fluttered against the wind. The cut on his back from Hunter's sword drenched a part of it in a deeper red color.

Hunter caught the vampire's snicker as he held on to Vivian's now unconscious body. The Amber vampire's gloved hand lifted her chin. "Ah, my back stings! Let me show you a quick way to heal from a scratch by the Holy Sword," the vampire's blank eyes glowered at Hunter. He heard the Jade Vampires call him Dimitri.

Dimitri licked Vivian's neck deliberately. Hunter's eye's fluttered, fighting away the drowsiness trying to overcome him. "With how much blood she's already lost, I doubt she'll be able to survive after I drink from her. How does it feel to waste your efforts in protecting her, hero?" Dimitri taunted.

Hunter chuckled, "oh noble vampire, by all means, partake in her blood. However, it would serve you well to know that the liquid she injected contained a formula that turns her blood to poison when consumed by vampires like us. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try. "

The Jade vampires looked over at Dimitri, uneasy. Some of them who fought with Vivian and stayed conscious when she forced the yellow liquid into their comrade's mouth attested to Hunter's claims.

Dimitri was not stupid. He would not lose his life or sacrifice the lives of his mistress' servants to test whether this hero kid was telling the truth. He threw Vivian's body to one side and flashed in front of the first unconscious human he saw. He drank until he was able to recover his abilities and threw the lifeless body on the ground.
