Nightfall, Unknown Forest

The sounds and echoes of swords rang so loud in the forest. Traces of blood in the trees and scattered splash of body parts covered the surface. Lom and I became cautious and prepared ourselves for some unexpected outcome. Sweats from my face dropped in the ground as we approached the hostile area. In the bushes, we concealed ourselves. Looking at the place, I pity the corpse with worst death. There were survivors coming out from the wrecked carriage. In one blink, five men appeared, preparing to annihilate the old man behind his back.

"Guwaah," the man's last word by taking hit of sword from the man; sacrificing himself.

"Uncle!" the woman screamed, covering the eyes of the little child tightly.

The young maiden wore a noble red blouse and silver pony shoes. She had a white skin, yellow eyes and blonde hair. While the little one wore an ordinary blue suit, a white shirt inside, a bow tie on near the throat and white pants with black shoes. His eyes had the same colors just like the girl but his hair had blue curly hair.

Checking the raider’s outfit, they wore a fined white shining armor, a cape of black lion symbol with red and white colored alternately and copper armored legs and shoes. They carried a copper sword in their holsters.

"Sister, I'm scared." the kid said, embracing his sister tightly.

I was planning to save them right away but Lom stopped me because it was dangerous. He won’t hesitate to shoot me a tranquilizer in order to cease my action.

Shit, I can't do it. These guys look more dangerous than the goblins, Lom? C’mon, the didn’t hesitate to kill that old man in a blink. What if they do to them, what they did to him?

The woman asked, "What do you want from us, monsters? The city was now in your hands, what kind of treatment you monsters done to our family?"

The leader of the group had a mole in his right nose and replied, "Sorry milady, it's an order came from Lord Malo. You're all gonna die right here so what's the point to ask?"

"-Malo, Mal-- wait do you mean, Duke Malo Lugner? Why? We had an agreement earlier and it stated that we'll leave the kingdom peacefully and we agreed the winning side will colonized our territory by the Lamia Kingdom. Your king agreed in the terms---"

"Blah-Blah-Blah-Blah. Just shut up bitch."

The young maiden frightened and hold tightly her little brother. Closing their eyes to accept their fate, the leader raised his hand and readied himself to slaughter them.

But —

"The orders had been settled. We don't care about that wimpy king. We have our own king considered the most amazing person in the world. So don't get to cocky that you have an agreement or contract between that coward"

"How pathetic? You called your king like that. Is this the way of your kind to treat your own blood?"

"Pwe, just shut up bitch. We're just wasting time to kill you. Oh well, I got some idea"

"W-Wait" her hair was grab by him

The leader sniffed her and lick her neck.

"Sister!" the little child yelled, trying to save his sister from his hands.

But he was not strong enough to withstand him, the leader kicked the kid away from her.

"Oh well, you're just gonna die anyway. It's a waste if we didn't drink a rare type of blood like yours, milady."

"— Imbecile! W-Wha —? Please don't," the woman said, trying to fight herself from him.

His men came stepped forward and readied to slam her down.. I remained quiet as I watched them moving closer to the pitiful woman. The raiders would rape her I presumed. Yet, there teeth showed some fangs, making me a little bit curious and confuse.

I asked, "What the heck are they trying to do with her, Lom?"

Lom analyzed them and he replied, "Analysis completed. According to my scanner and data gathered, there species are one of the successful creatures created on the Area 12 Siberian Secret Chamber of the Federation last 2184. There data are still classified and cannot be determined. However, it seems in this world, they are one of the rare breeds lived with their own and created their own kingdom and still multiplied by mating with humans. As you can see, they can live in the same manner like humans in the morning and evening. They are subject 04 known as ‘vampires’. Thus, I think they are gonna kill the girl by drinking her blood until it was drain."

"Seriously, should we intercept and save them?"

"I don't think so. There is seventy percent chance you could die by a sword and thirty percent chance you will die when they drain your blood."

"Come on, Lom. I'm not asking for my own survival rate. I'm asking for the best solution to help those people right now.” I sighed, “Why am I asking for your advice, your just a machine. You won’t understand my own reasoning."

"I apologize, Master." Lom lowered his head, putting his right hand in his chest.

"Gyahhh! Please don't. Please don't do it. If you want to drink my blood, please…. please spare my brother."

"Haha, sorry. We can't do it. Orders is orders. Well its kinda make sense that you're son could become beneficial if we sell him in the black market in our kingdom and make him our resource of our livestock haha"

His men agreed in unison, "Yeah!"

The leader ordered, "Drink her blood while his son watching his own mom being rape haha. This is what humans always says anyway, Suck life. Hahaha."

The kid cried out loud as he watch his sister in her position, “You monsters, stay away from my dear sister."

He ran and bit the arm of the raiders. Because of irritation and madness, he pulled out his sword and raised his sword to kill him.

"No Eliza! Please he is just a kid!"

As the sword got almost two inches from his head, I jumped over and blocked it by my axe. I took a spin and kicked the vampire away from him.

The vampires were surprised from my unwelcome appearance.

"Who the hell are you, maggot?"

I replied, posturing with proper manner, "Just a wanderer who got lost in the forest. “ I lowered my head afterwards.

"Hey mister, you don't need to save this lowlife humans. They have no money to pay, no place to take you in nor any kind of relationship with them. Hence, just back off already and ignore this one if still care your life."

"Eh? I think I’ll get something unpleasant things today. Well, your proposal seems pleasurable and I assume these people will only be a hindrance to me. Thus, why should I help them? Yeah why? Why not?.........Of course, they are humans and you are monsters. It's natural for our kind to protect each other from the creatures like you."

The face of the leader changed to drastic facial expression and he said, "Oh you're just an another livestock ready to become one of our reserve ingredients in the menu. Men, forward, draw your swords and attack that moron!"

When they attacked me simultaneously, I ran face to face with them. I slided beneath the bellies of each of them, stabbed them through their hearts, limbs, waist; kicked their bodies away from me. The survivors assaulted ferociously and tried to slice me but I dodge them.

I jumped over to my targets, spinned my body clockwise and sliced their own head. The blood sizzled from the neck of the dead bodies and fell down to the ground.

The leader was just watching in the corner and started to get piss.

Last remaining men in his group, still standing said, "Woah, he is tough and strong. Although he is just a merely a peasant, he sliced my comrades easily by using an axe… I have never heard someone skilled in this kind of thing. Unbelievable."

"Are you really a wanderer? Your pretty good in fighting." The leader asked, readied to attack.

I mockingly replied in poker face, "Nah, why should I tell you? You guys will gonna die anyway thus there is no point to tell the whole details about me"

The leader said in anger, "You piece of dumb bag, I'll kill you right now. You two kill the kid, I'll handle this one instead. I’m hundred years experienced warrior than this peasant."

"Oh, one on one? Nice try, boy. Then, you’re facing a billion years experienced soldier."

"Sergeant, the girl and the kid disappeared in his place!"

"What? Why you? You let yourself fight us while buying some time to the kid and the girl run away from here"

I reply, "Oh, ahhh, nah"

Yes indeed, while you guys focus your eyes on me. I give an order to Lom to take the two away from here. Thankfully, these vampires are stupid and silly bastards

"You! You'll be our dinner this time, mister peasant! We'll kill you right now and drink your blood until nothing flows in your veins. This is our first time to transform and use our bloodlust to someone like you. You underestimate us, you peasant wanderer.”
