Stanley gripped Ryan's head between his hands after he tore Ryan's right forearm and threw it a few meters away.

< HP: 20/75 >

The red message flashed in front of Ryan's eyes. He could barely keep his consciousness with him.

"Fuck." He heard Professor, "I can not let you die. At least, I can not let you lose your consciousness." His voice was quick. Those words left his mouth so quickly.

Ryan was still in the air, he could feel a pool of blood flowing out of his right elbow. It all happened so fast that Ryan did not even have time to react.

"Does not matter anymore," Brandon talked to Devon, "He stepped in to help us, it becomes our responsibility to help him back. Does not matter who he is, what he is, why he is."

"But still. He listened to our conversation-"

"He. Saved us. We would have been dead already. Grab that." Brandon threw his hands.

Devon dived on his feet, slid across the ground, disappeared in the ground, and came out behind his brother.

"This is your end, human."

"Punch him! Punch him, Ryan!" Professor shouted. It was not like he could do anything by just sitting on the other side, "Just a drop of blood! Just a single drop of blood!" Professor started shouting and screaming again.

Stanley started twisting Ryan's head.

* Crack, crack *

The cracking sound of a few bones cracking was heard, slowly, Ryan's whole neck was twisted halfway.

[This all happened within a second. I do not want you to think Stanley is so quick then why is he twisting Ryan's neck in slow motion, nope. Actually, the whole incident happened within five seconds: biting him, tearing his arm, twisting his head.]

"Stop! You stop right there!" Stanley paused when he heard two loud shouts in synchronization.

Stanley only turned his eye to look behind him from the corner of his eye.

"Stop right now." He saw Brandon and Devon behind him, "You stop right now, or.. heads you lose."

"You kill Ryan, we kill Darell," Devon shouted after Brandon.

Stanley's eyes went wide, he dropped Ryan on the ground and turned around.

"Leave him! Fucking leave him right now!" Stanley's red eyes sprouted furiously.

Ryan, now looking like Stephen Hawking, was lying on the ground with a pool of blood around him.

"Kill him. We will not get a better chance than this,"

"The loyal dog will kill us or worse.. a treaty," Brandon replied.

"Hah. You can not kill me even when I am in your hands–" Brandon landed a hard punch in Darell's face which broke his front teeth.

"Stop!! How dare you–"

"Shut up. Do not speak. If you say another word, your lord will be under the land and become a landlord. So shut your mouth," Brandon looked at Stanley.

"I do not care at this point, Brandon. Move that thing and cut Darell's neck off."

To what Devon was referring to as 'Thing' was nothing but Brandon's trump card.

"Okay, calm down." Stanley raised his arms up in the air, "You hand me, my lord Darell, I will hand you this half-dead human." Stanley took a few steps back. Although he was way stronger than both of them, he was still compelled to stay away.

If he attacks, does not matter how fast or strong he is, Brandon will always be the fastest one when it comes to cutting off a vampire's neck with a scythe next to that vampire's neck.

"Are you sure, Devon? We might live a life of torture,"

"Do you not believe me?"

"I do. I have never been a Head General to you, always an ascendant for you."

"Then cut him. We will find a way, for now, cut him." Devon who was holding Darell on the ground with his arms pinned Darell on the ground.

On top of Darell was Brandon with his blood weapon Scythe. The sharp cuts, the acidic edges, the purple sharp end of the scythe were pinned against Darell's neck.

Brandon had his knee on Darell's chest which made it hard for Darell to fight back.

"My lousy Trait you say? But it looks like my lousy Trait is about to end your life," Brandon gritted his teeth.

"Brandon, what are you doing? Move away, do not fucking– I will kill this human!"

Brandon paused. He lifted his head at Stanley and thought, 'Without each other, these guys are totally useless.' He muttered, 'Only if Ryan had not jumped in to disturb Darell's momentum, it would have been the end of us.'

"Cut him, Brandon. Please!" Devon shouted, "Do not waste your time! Quick!"

'Darell sure is strong, not as much as me and Devon together but he is strong. Only because Ryan appeared out of nowhere, only because we were not able to sense him.. he totally took its advantage.'

< Activated Regeneration skill. Regenerating the host's neck, and right forearm >

"Seesh. You are totally hopeless. First, you do not listen, then you do not move. shit."

"What did you say, Stanley?"

"Huh?"

"'You hand me, my lord Darell, and I will hand you this half-dead human'?" Stanley was as confused as Devon, "If you will hand us a half-dead human then... It becomes.."

"Aaah!!" Devon panicked when he heard a loud scream vibrating against him.

"Our sole responsibility to hand you a half-dead Lord Darell." With that, Brandon tore another Darell's arm apart.

"You fucker! I will fucking kill you!" with that, Stanley bolted from his place.

< HP: 75/75 >

< Blood level: 75/75 >

< Blood store: 140/200 >

"See.. what I told you," Brandon turned to Devon with a pleasant smile, "We can easily fight and kill Darell.. as long as it is not for his Butler."

Brandon lifted his arm and brought the scythe near Darell's neck. At this point, all Darell did was stare at them hopelessly.

'Why do I do not feel my power? Why am I not able to use my abilities?' It was the only question on his mind after his limbs regenerated back.

"I hope the angels do not treat us harshly," Devon replied.

"You would not run away at this point, so all I can do for you is.. Go! Go fucking get that vampire!"

Stanley felt a strong gust of wind behind him.

< A new quest appeared >

< Quest 12: Defeat the Elite vampire Stanley Gentry. >

< Random, unique rewards will be rewarded for completing a Legendary grade quest >

When Stanley felt a little suspicious when he sensed someone's presence, he decided to take a turn and see what is behind him.

On the other hand, Brandon and Devon's mouths were dropped open in shock. Their hands were literally shaking when they sensed the familiar presence.

"Professor." Ryan smiled, "Here is your single drop of blood,"

From behind. When Stanley was close to Devon, all Ryan had to do and did was land a slight kick in Stanley's butt.

As expected from the laws of gravitation and momentum, Stanley was on his way to falling flat on Darell's– or should I say, on Brandon's blood scythe.

"Fuc–" Stanley lost his balance, he turned around in the air before falling on the scythe's tip.

"What–" Brandon's eyes were wide in surprise. Because of the sudden fall on the scythe, Brandon's grip was lighter than that, the scythe changed its position in Brandon's hand and pierced into Darell's heart.

< Quest 12, a legendary quest completed, obtained 1200 Exp. >

"Okay. I am calling his your luck," Professor threw his hands, "How can someone complete a Legendary quest by just.. just- shoving someone?" He groaned.

"R- Ryan..?" Devon's eyes went wider in surprise when he saw a handsome figure standing in front of them.

Ryan's figure was slowly uncovered when Stanley fell on Darell's body.

< First time defeating an Elite vampire. Gained 1100 Exp >

< Congrats! You have leveled up to level sixteen! >

< All your Traits are leveled up by one level >

< You have obtained a new Legendary grade skill: Red Spider's Webs Lv. 50 >

< Health, Blood level incremented by five points >

Ryan pulled up his right elbow, he threw it down in Stanley's direction when suddenly.. his forearm started growing up.

The next second, his whole hand from the tip of the nails to the end of the elbow joint was back.

All Ryan did was press the newly grown hand against Stanley's head. Softly, Brandon's scythe went cross Stanley's neck.

< First time killing an Elite vampire. Bonus 2300 Experience points >

< Congrats, you have leveled up to level 17 >

< Congrats, you have reached level 18! >

"NO!! Stanley!!" Darell shouted out loud.

Devon's grip on him unconsciously loosened up. He pushed Brandon off of his body, sat on the ground, and took Stanley's headless body in his arms.

"Run." The sense of victory faded from Ryan's mind.

"W- wha–"

"Run. Seriously, run away." Professor said in a serious tone, "You do not want to be around a vampire who just lost someone close to it."

"No, what do you mean?"

"Every creature.. has a post-tragedy or a rage mode.. the stronger the vampire, the dangerous this form is. Please run away or no one will be left alive."

"Sir Brandon, Devon, get up. We got to leave before Darell loses it. Please, get up and leave!"

Darell held Stanley in his hands and continued crying.

They quickly got off the ground, "Y- you go ahead, we will handle him."

"No, sir! Please, you will have to leave before he enters his rage mode!"

"Fuck! What the fuck is happening?!" Devon threw his arms and walked past Ryan, "Come on!" He shouted.

The next second, everybody took off running.

Darell lifted his dead red eyes from Stanley's corpse, "I..." his voice stuttered, "I know how you look, human."
