Alexander's soft hand brushed against his cheek; somehow, since he became stage 2, his feelings and orders could be transferred over their links. Thus two Vesta quickly appeared beside him, one with rosy cheeks, curly brown hair and freckles named Rosie and the other with a high ponytail and dark skin; her eyes were a beautiful brown as she knelt quietly and began to support Poppy.

"Good, Rosie, Bella, can you take care of her and those four for a moment?" Alexander spoke with a soft but deep voice before turning away from them after seeing Bella's head nodding.

"What are you finally going to apologize for? Well, it's too fucking late!" Sophia continued to bellow, pointing her finger as she stood beside her brother, while Alexander merely looked at the pair, his white hair blowing in the breeze, his eyes deep green, with dark red pupils as if they were corrupted.

"Why are you staring at us, you damn freak?" Sophia's brother shouted, stepping forward with all his machoism and bravado.

Alex raised an eyebrow at that comment, not understanding what exactly was wrong about looking at someone who had been mistreating your cute little Ghoul. But then again..he'd never really understood why people felt the need to shout so much when being spoken to politely, either. He turned back towards Sophia, raising both hands above his shoulders.

There was a powerful emotion, a deep feeling that suddenly burst forth inside his mind like a tidal wave; the ghouls, whether stage 1, stage 2 or still in between, suddenly became restless, their eyes all glowing with a dark red light as if waiting for the final calls.

Since he didn't need to fear these humans like the hulking monster, their most potent attributes barely reached 19; therefore, he used his [Ghoul Strengthening] skill to empower all the Vesta around him.

His beautiful face looked across the area; there were faces he knew well, those he wanted to know better as their red eyes peered at him as if wanting to hear his orders, know his thoughts and desires.

'I cannot make them like me, love me, trust me or adore me with a bit of ghoul blood; I shall learn about them, their hopes, dreams, the things they fear and regret." Alexander's eyes fell on Laura when he thought of these words, her body seemed to tremble as his thoughts, and hers were aligned.

To him, her mind was complicated; there were black spaces which were likely her true feelings and those that she wished to share with him one day, the suit on his body, that cute letter.

"Oi, you pale-skinned lanky fuck! Don't ignore me!"

He gave her a warm smile, ignoring the humans now closing towards him, shouting and screaming behind them a smaller group of armed males and females who looked slightly conflicted but followed their leaders.historical

Alexander's movements were elegant as he billowed his long suit jacket, spreading his arms to the sides, like taking part in a play, his face calm as if the anger and bloodlust he felt just moments ago seemed to be a mirage.

"Humans, do you realize the mistakes you have made?" Alexander spoke with a distorted and deep voice, that of a monster, but strangely charismatic and alluring.

"Huh? What the fuck are you speaking so weird for?" Her brother lifted his weapon, now an axe taken from one of his followers, lifted high into the air, ready to slice down at Alexander. "We're gonna kill this bastard here, right?"

The small group moved closer as Alexander did not consider them any threat.

He looked towards Sophia, his anger surging but deeply hidden within his body, as he decided to use the new ghoul transformation branch to punish females.

'Do not blame Poppy; you should only blame your foolishness for hurting her. Although, the true blame lies with my blind confidence in sending an untrained vesta without the proper support. Your actions have doomed you to eternal suffering and despair.'

Alexander gained two new racial lines for those who would become his sired ghouls.

First, there was the Vrykul.

[Vrykul]

A male type of Ghoul is different from the [Vargeist]. They don't become ugly but more handsome, becoming a more pleasant-looking type of Ghoul, similar to a Vesta but slightly weaker due to the nature of a Ghoul's creation process. If sired by a female, they will be the dominant type and more robust than a female's Vesta.

A male Vrykul can only reproduce with a single mate, which the sire chooses; if the sire is female, they might only be able to impregnate her. Should the chosen mate die, then the sire can select a new woman for them to marry. Other women will invoke no sexual attraction or emotions of passion but feel a familial connection to other female ghouls.

The Vrykul is utterly loyal to their sire and will never betray them unless the sire should do something profane and sleep with their selected mate or send them to die.

Unlike Vesta, they can eat anything, survive from anything, and adapt to human society. The closest Ghoul to a human.

For the women, was the Banshee

[Banshee]

A female type, similar to the Vargeist but for females, eternal punishment for those that cross the sire, incur their wrath forever trapped in a disgusting flesh tomb, rather than the body which is neither beautiful nor desirable and can never feel any positive emotions for as long as they might exist, only feeling negative emotions which dominate their mind and actions.

This transformation is only usable on somebody with a seething hatred towards the sire, while the sire holds great loathing towards the woman. Otherwise, the transformation will fail, and she will die.

Unlike the Vesta, they are forced to be loyal, devoted and unable to betray their sire and only feed off carrion and rotting flesh as punishment.

The axe lowered slowly towards Alexander's body as if defying him to strike first. His fingers curled tightly, gripping the axe handle tighter and harder until his knuckles showed signs of cracking.

Alexander closed his eyes slowly before they opened and looked at the annoying blonde man who kept making noise, shouting like he was some hero.

"Fucker stop taunting me!!"

A few seconds later, the axe smashed onto the ground with a loud bang, leaving a dent in the earth where. Alexander stared at the man who had swung his weapon. But despite his murderous intent, Alexander remained calm and collected. There was nothing else he needed to say, not even his name.

Then came the sound of heavy breathing, almost panting, as Sophia uttered a shrill scream, seeing that her brother's body was filled with five holes, now oozing with sticky blood and trembling.

"You monster... You are a bastard!... Oh god... What have you done!? Daniel!!! Daniel!!!" Sophia began to rush towards her brother, whose body dropped to one knee, using the axe to maintain his position, merely shuddering as he looked up towards the monster that easily mortally wounded him.

"Y....ugh....! you.....!?"

Five long red claws, soaked in human flesh and blood, dripped to the ground; it was not Alexander who killed Daniel, but Maria's eyes were like torches glowing brightly, her left hand's claws extended with several slithers of his organs sliced apart on them.

"Maria... I didn't..." Alex smiled wryly.

"They make Alex sad... Maria loves Alex when he smiles and eats my food!" She said softly, placing the broken axe blade into his hand, causing him to look at it, confused. "Don't let him hurt anymore... Please."

Her pleading eyes held such pain and sorrow but also contained a hint of hope. And although he couldn't understand how she could think so highly of him or see himself through her eyes, he nodded once, holding her gaze; Alex couldn't understand Maria's broken mind, but he could feel her feelings, affection, worry, anger, sadness.

All because these people upset him, the cute ghoul still standing quietly, watching his eyes, oblivious to all surroundings, focused only on him.

With a flick of his wrist, the axe flew upwards and buried itself in Daniel's forehead; he screamed out as a bright flash of light from the fading sun illuminated everyone. It took less than half a second before the screams ultimately died down.

"D...Daniel...?" Sophia spoke with a strange voice, tired and shrill, as she stumbled forward."

The moment she moved, the orders from Alex began to fill all the ghoul's minds.

'Capture their members; if they resist too much, kill them. I want to know who abused Simon and his friends and Poppy, although she was only beaten and treated like garbage. Those who acted against them will be punished!'

It was like a wave of darkness covered the area.

Almost all ghouls suddenly emerged around the small group of humans, their hands holding various weapons and the same black dress with leather tunic and black jacket, seemingly some form of uniform.

Bang!

"Arrrrrrrrgh!?" Sophia screamed as Alex kicked her in the face, stomping on her jaw with a brutal crack, now her throat merely making a slight noise as her tongue flapped around, unable to scream after the initial one left her lips as he squatted down beside her face, yanking on her blonde hair.

"Now then."

The scene erupted into chaos as his Vesta began to contain the humans; they would lunge and tear apart any humans that resisted, Maria and Althea brutally clawing at them; no weapons were used as they were violent, like ferocious wolves tearing apart their prey.

Mildred stood a distance away, her arrows not killing but crippling those that resisted and those that didn't.
