"What do you think we'll do, dummy? We just killed your glorified army of Bestellen and you're next," said Veronica.

"W-What?! You can't… possibly kill an aristocrat like me! I have wealth and a rank! A-And… P-Please, I will give you anything! I will cooperate with you! I-I can even give you this elf!" said Allan, desperately trembling in fear by the split soul's enormous aura of fear…

"Eh? Allan-sama, are you selling me off?!" cried Sylph.

"Hm… Rotten to the core until the end…" sighed Veronica.

"Don't worry, we won't break your souls, we are being quite benevolent," said Ervas.

"B-Benevolent?!" cried Allan.

Indeed, for the two, not breaking the souls of people that pissed them off was an act of benevolence. Of course, they were still going to get killed…

So, after killing both Allan and Sylph through some horrible tortures, the two souls of these people were instantly charmed by Veronica, and then… returned to their original bodies and converted into Living-Undead by Ervas.

And now, they were loyal servants! How convenient. And the two split souls were also able to kill them horribly, which is what they wanted.

After that, the two extracted all the info they knew about and went house by house doing the same to every corrupt aristocrat that worked together with Allan to bring the Bestellen Empire's people.

After an arduous day of the killing, reviving, and brainwashing of aristocrats, the split souls were finally done after around half a day…

While doing so, they got a bunch of information from each aristocrat and even convinced them to become their affiliates in their own little markets, such as their convenience store, their restaurant, and their soon to open mall!

There will be a feast in a couple of days where all the aristocrats of Seashore would gather and this group would announce their new alliance with Veronica and Ervas' Company, or V&E Company for short.

Despite all of their achievements, the two split souls still wanted to be normal people, somehow, so they wanted to invest in Seashore and quite possibly many other towns around, and slowly convince these people to join them.

Although there was going to be another little thing…

"Ah, we should go kill that one Vampire… Where is he?" wondered Ervas.

"Oh, you mean that Progenitor? You're right, we should definitely kill him… He's going to only get in our nerves," said Veronica.

"We already know where he is, from the memories of Vladimir, remember?" asked Veronica.

"Oh yeah…" said Ervas, quickly recalling everything through Memory Library.

The two split souls were so casually talking about slaughtering an old Vampire comparable to a Demon God if not stronger like nothing… Well, after fighting the super Bestellen of Mirror Kritias, literally anything else seems like a piece of cake…

"I can get us there through Death Gate, it seems that where he is there is a lot of Death Attribute Mana… Most likely due to the dozens of Vampires living there… And they got a lot of slaves for food and other things, quite disgusting… Ugh, alright, let's get there and stop them right away, our clones are already moving the other slaves that this entire place has, so we can get there, kill him, and eat him," said Veronica.

"Sounds good…" said Ervas, quickly fusing with Veronica into one, with a similar appearance to Anastacia and Juliette, and then teleporting away through Death Gate.

Flash!

Suddenly, the two emerged inside a large castle, it was completely black, dusty, and filled with spiderwebs, the atmosphere was also rather dark, with many ghosts and souls of slaves the vampires had killed roaming everywhere…

An old Vampire was sleeping over a throne, it seemed to be Damon Holstein, a Progenitor Vampire. He was born within the pools of Divine Blood that existed in Kritias beginnings, which was the blood of Anir and Kelsus corpses.

The sudden appearance of Ervas and Veronica didn't seem to disturb him as they were still concealing their presence…

It could be so easy to just take away his soul…

However.

"AH! Eh? Who are you?!"

Thankfully, the malefic Vampire wasn't as terrible as the two split souls believed, and quickly woke up, noticing the presences of Ervas and Veronica, which were immense.

His senses sharpened in an instant as a powerful Vampire, as his muscles tightened and his crimson-red aura surged from his entire body, his eyes flashed with power, as he possessed the Evil Eyes of Destruction, capable of destroying something they could see instantly!

The split souls were still fused together and suddenly realized that their bodies began to bulge a bit as if they were trying to be destroyed… but not much happened. The power of these eyes was pretty bad.

"Eh? My eyes don't work… Y-You're… a Goddess?!" asked Damon, as he slowly began to shapeshift into a monster, something like a bat.

However, a sudden burst of power reached Damon as his eyes exploded!

SPLAT! SPLAT!

Interrupting him mid-transformation, the bat-like monster groaned in pain.

"GGRRYYAAAAAAGGHH…! M-My eyessss!"

"Come on, you're a Vampire, how can you cry for that?" asked the split souls.

This was easily done thanks to the Abyss effect within Veronica's soul, which was able to reflect vision-based abilities inflicted on the user.

"GRAAAAGGH! Whoever you are, you're dead! I am going to feast on your blood, woman! Goddess or not! It is not as if I have not fought against Gods before!" roared Damon, rushing toward the fused split souls.

FLASH!

The two glanced at his eyes.

"Die."

"Unngghh?!"

Suddenly, an aura of death grasped Damon's soul, and began to take it away from his physical body!

"Aggrrrgg…! W-What kind of accursed power is thisssss?! AGGGH…! NO…! UNGH…! STOP!"

Damon was particularly strong, so he was able to resist quite well the power of the God of Transmigration! But even then, his soul was already grasped!

The claw of death made of their divine soul quickly closed, crushing the evil vampire's soul, and shattering it into pieces!

Crack… crack!

"Nnnggh…! T-This… It can't be… How can I… UEEGGHH…!"

CRASH!

The soul fragments of Damon were quickly consumed by the split souls, alongside his entire physical body, which was rich in flavor and had some Demon God King fragments as a bonus.
