Chapter 171 - Planting Fear In Everybody’s Hearts.
** Before Ainz's head was sliced off by Ryan **
'W- what's with this aura?' The fear was written all over Ainz's face. He took a step back.
"Ready?" Ryan whispered in his ears.
'Fuck! He will definitely kill me! W- why do I feel so cowardly? I wanna run, damn! I wanna run!' Ainz's brain was filled with those thoughts.
But even he knew, there was no way he was running away after finally coming into Ryan's hands.
'I- I should prepare myself.' Ainz quickly used his Trait to plant a seed of a black ball inside his heart. It was simple, the dark blood running through his veins was the source of his necromancy spells.
'I won't go down easily.' his hands went for the gun hanging behind him, on his back.
But before he could even grab the gun, his head was sliced off by Ryan.
** To the present now **
With pain in his eyes, Ryan glanced at an ugly man standing behind him, his body was still in the air while he got shot in his left chest. In his heart.
"Ryan!!" Unconsciously, Devon let out a loud shout calling Ryan's name.
Brandon's eyes went wide, "He's shot!"
"Who's that fucker?!" Rigid shouted but unfortunately, only the vampires and other werewolves could understand what Rigid was saying.. uh- barking about.
Ainz started breathing heavily with a gun in his hand still aimed at nothing but air.
Ryan fell down on the ground. His face turned pale, "I- I can't breathe," Ryan grabbed his chest with both of his hands, lying down on the floor.
"Shit, Devon, we can't let him die," Brandon took a step forward, his eyes lit red.
Devon lifted his eyes and gave Brandon a glance. Someone who wanted to kill him badly was not trying to protect him.
Of course, there were multiple reasons why Brandon didn't want Ryan to die right now.
Brandon's stuff is stolen, yes they are and he knows it. But Ryan dies without telling Brandon where his stuff is, Brandon will never get his things back.
He's a teacher, not just a teacher but a Trait master of a high rank as Head general. Everyone is aware of the current attack now. And if Brandon reports a student's death which happened right after him, that would hurt his pride as a Head general, strange rumors might spread.
Although he is a vampire and doesn't care if the underworld starts a war with the human race, etc. right now he is a Head general. If it was about choosing a side between the Underworld and Trait masters.. Brandon would definitely go with the Trait masters. He can't just stand there and watch his student get killed by an Underworld Mafia.
"I will get that strong person and Devon you..." Brandon glared at Devon with his red eyes, "I want you to turn Ryan."
"Huh?" Devon gasped. That much was enough for Devon to understand what Brandon wanted him to do.
"Please. He is shot in the heart. If you don't inject him with your venom, we might not be able to save him."
Devon closed his mouth and gave Brandon a nod. Brandon turned and charged at Ainz with his vampire strength.
"Now who the fuck you are?!" Ainz grunted as he defended against Brandon's punch.
"Head General." Ainz's eyes widened after Brandon introduced himself.
"Devon. Hurry it up," Rosy told him.
Devon took a step forward, with hesitation he advanced towards Ryan who was down on the floor struggling with his life.
< The host has been shot in the heart. The bullet has pierced in the host's heart. >
< Activating the Regeneration skill. It will take up to a minute & a half of your blood to regenerate your heart totally. >
Ryan was already losing his consciousness. He saw the flashes of System notifications in front of his eyes but soon he lost his consciousness.
"Ryan, hey Ryan!"
"Just fucking do it!" Brandon ordered while keeping up with Ainz.
"I know!" Devon replied back. He pulled Ryan off the ground, quickly brought his face near Ryan, "Sorry." His fangs came out and dug down deep in Ryan's neck.
< You have been bitten by a vampire.
< Condition: Let 5 vampires bite you. Progress: 2/5 >
After inserting his venom in Ryan's veins, Devon got up from the floor.
"Done. handle that guy for at least a minute!" Devon told Brandon.
"We will help too. You protect Ryan,"
"He might have his allies hidden somewhere"
Rigid and Rosy suggested before jumping in the battle in their wolf forms. Of course, they would be stronger in their werewolf form rather than their human form.
Rigid jumped and grabbed Ainz's shoulder between his teeth. Rosy threw her fangs deep in Ainz's leg.
"Fucking dogs! Get the hell away!" Ainz shouted in pain.
"We are not dogs you fucking human." Rosy raised her claw and made a big scratch turn into a cut on Ainz's back, literally tearing his back apart.
"Hah. Who do you think I am?" Ainz grinned when suddenly the tissues of his back started moving.. started regenerating.
"I am the Ainz Gown! I have a necromancer!" he shouted in pride.
He threw his arms behind him, grabbed Rigid by his neck, and threw him on the ground. Ainz kicked his leg in the air to shake off Rosy.
"I have the heart of a necromancer. In other words, I am undead with inhuman regenerating ability!."
"Ainz?" the color over Brandon's face disappeared after Ainz introduced himself, "Gown? Ainz Gown?" his grip on Ainz's hand loosened.
"Yeah. The Ainz Gown." He kicked Brandon in the stomach, one more kick to throw him away.
< Regenerating the host's heart successfully. The bullet in your body has been destroyed. >
Ryan's body twitched on the floor. He gained his consciousness back. Ryan pulled his arms forward.
"Heart of a necromancer huh?" Ainz's grin suddenly washed off from his face, "Which means... This time.. I will have to finish you from the inside out."
Ryan pushed against the floor to get up on his feet. Ainz could not bring himself to believe the sight in front of him.
A shiver ran down his spine continued to tremble. His whole body was trembling. He was not the only one trembling in fear.
Ryan's body went up in the air. His legs, his arms, his chest, his hips, his whole body was covered in the crimson red energy.
"A P- P- Pure Vampire....." Brandon's eyes were left open.
