Tale of Discovery

Chapter 40: Demons and Vampires

Having finally finished off all the men in the facility, including the scientists, I return back to where those immortals were at.

There, I find them all waiting for me vigilantly. I have my deification off, so I shouldn't be exuding an aura of superiority.

One of them instantly catches my attention. A short girl with pink hair and blood-red eyes. Her hair is long to the point of reaching her calf and is tied into partial twintails with a pair of peculiar black ribbons.

She's wearing a short black, frilly style dress with a layer of white ruffles over black ruffles of the skirt and torso, as well as a black coat with red inner lining. On her arms, are detached loose sleeves with white ruffles at each end. To top her gothic style off, she wears a pair of boots that reach to her knees.

Her clothes aren't the only thing that I find impressive. Her looks are something else. She might even be comparable to /a/lClYAdX)

I take a look at her arm and notice that it's there... That wasn't the case when I first arrived here. I assume she's immortal as well.

She has a look on her face that says she's had enough of it all. I wonder what she's been through for her to be like this.

---3rd POV Past---

Regret.

That was the only thing in Krul's mind as she thought about the attack she led on Tokyo in 2012.

It was successful for the most part and there weren't any significant issues except for one. Some human children escaped. Now that wouldn't make much of a difference if they were normal children, but that wasn't the case with those.

There were different ones among them, hiding from the outside until they're mature enough to deal a blow to everyone.

She didn't pursue them. Alas, her biggest regret. Now, she has to face them off in an ultimatum where a race or several ones would go extinct. The battle that will decide the fate of all beings.

Normally, humans wouldn't amount to much against vampires and would instantly face loss like the 2012 incident, but things had changed. Humans resorted to curses and demons to deal with them.

Forcefully extracting the demons and angels within themselves to gain overwhelming power.

The battle went on for a while with neither side gaining much of an advantage over the other. That was the case until a blonde-haired human got injured.

One of the humans began screaming out his name and fighting madly using his cursed weapon. Moments later, a pair of dark featherless wings burst out from his back.

Everyone there knew what it represented- The Seraph.

A few seconds following that, the human faction turned against themselves as one side held back the vampires and the other fought against the transformed guy and the bunch that protected him.

It was futile as the guy could easily wipe out a dozen humans with the wave of a hand. But, it didn't seem like humans would just give up. It was like they were delaying it.

After most humans and vampires had been wiped out, the answer was finally revealed. The humans brought over a human girl with patches all over her body. They injected her with a serum.

It didn't take long for the girl to let out a scream of agony as two pairs of golden wings extended from her body before a huge demonic being materialized in the air.

From there, it was a battle between the demonic being who was seemingly being ordered by one of the humans and the transformed guy.

The final moments of the battle ended with the guy sending out a pillar of salt against the demonic being, before a crack formed in their surroundings and pulled vampires and humans alike into it.

Having woken up from what seemed like deep slumber, Krul found herself in an untainted world with a group of humans and a part of her vampire faction along with Ferid.

As if her awakening started a chain reaction, the rest began waking up as well and got into a state of alertness as they faced each other. That was especially the case when they saw that among them was the one that had become a Seraph.

Wishing to battle, the humans attempted to summon their demonic sets, but it didn't work out. The vampires also noticed that their powers had decreased as well as their need to feed on blood.

No one knew how it happened, but they came to an agreement to find out where they are and what occurred for them to be in the bizarre situation they found themselves in.

After travelling for quite some time, they reached a civilization that was up and running normally, but there was a problem. They were all pointing at them and murmuring among themselves something like "cosplay" and "acting".

Thankfully, they ran into a certain someone that helped them out a lot. A noble girl that found their appearance odd so she interacted with them.

The humans told her about themselves and the other world, which the girl surprisingly believed saying, "There are teens like me with superpowers all over the world. It's not a surprise that there is more to the supernatural than that."

They were curious about the superpower part, but it wasn't the right time to ask questions.

The girl introduced herself as Emily Angevin, and welcome them to her home which was a gigantic mansion.

They lived there normally, and Krul found herself getting along really well with the noble girl so much that they become sworn sisters.

Never in her life would Krul have thought that she would become sworn sisters with a human girl.

It was all peaceful until one day, kidnapping incidents began occurring. It wasn't like there weren't any kidnapping incidents happening before, but there was a sudden spike as the rate greatly increased. It turned out that the reason for that was the establishment of an organization aiming to kidnap children with special abilities.

A week after that, some children came up with a group that fought against said organization and decided that it was a good idea to name it "Immortal Challengers of Hades".

Krul having been a queen before and having plenty of experience leading others was chosen to become the leader, despite her constant refusal. The human faction from their original world wasn't very happy with it, but after living together for some time it didn't become a big issue. The fact that the vampires hadn't fed on any humans during the time they had come to this world and they were all weaker than how they used to be also played a huge role in that.

One day, it was decided that they would meet up with someone named Shunsuke Otosaka that had established various safe-houses all over Japan. They hadn't expected that upon reaching there, they would be ambushed.

They fought against their ambushers, but it was no use as they were equipped with some unordinary weaponry they had never seen before.

After being taken to a facility that had children with supernatural abilities, Krul decided to have some strong ones converted into vampires to save themselves. This included a fifteen-year-old blonde girl, as well as a thirteen-year-old brown-haired girl.

The human faction having lost their ability to summon demonic weapons were of no use during the fight that ensued between the vampires and humans.

Their arrival had had its impact on Krul and changed her way of thinking, but it still nevertheless disgusts her to be alongside humans with the sole exception being her sworn sister.

To top it off, they were rescued by a mysterious pair that seem to be extraordinarily powerful. Usually, those who have such power never have simple objectives. That's what living over millennia has taught her.

---1st POV-Victor---

She's glaring daggers at me, this girl. It's as if I've killed her parents or something. I don't think that she's capable of much against me.

"Hey, nice to meet you all.", I say, trying to sound as friendly as possible.

"Don't fear me. I've only come to take out the facility and the men operating it."

Juno stands at my side looking over them with me.

I don't know what I should do with them. There is more to them than meets the eye, I'm sure of it. Should I just plunder them and be done with it?

"We aren't from this world.", suddenly the short pink-haired girl declares, causing everyone's eyes to widen.

From the looks of it, she doesn't seem to be lying. The shocked look on the others' faces is more of a "why would she reveal that!" kind of look.

Deciding to humour her, I say, "Neither are we."

My words shock them even more as they look at me with increased vigilance. What should I do? I'm curious about the world they're from...

"What was the world you came from like?", I inquire.

No one responds to my words. They all just stare at me. This is going nowhere and I'm starting to feel annoyed. Should I just finish them off?

"A world of chaos.", a voice interrupts my thoughts.

Looking in the direction it came from, I see an adorable girl of short stature that has shoulder-length ashen hair and blood-red eyes. She's wearing a black sailor-like uniform. Over the dress, she's wearing a silver belt, and on her hands are white gloves. There are 2 green stripes around the wrists of the uniform, and on the neck side, she's wearing a dark pink bow /a/pf954pD)

"A world that was ruined. Because of them.", she continues to say as she glances at the pink-haired girl.

They're separated into two groups with each girl being on one side. There is obviously an animosity between them.

"It's all their fault.", murmurs a black-haired guy with emerald-green eyes, as he glares at the other group, especially at an elegant looking silver-haired man.

I ignore that for now and use my Location to check for special abilities. Lo-and-behold. There are some interesting special abilities here...

"Sister!", a girl screams behind me as she rushes towards the pink-haired girl. I guess this means mission accomplished.
