As I analysed the areas where they were concentrated, I found out that their numbers were directly proportional to the darkness, that is, the darker the area, the more the monsters were.
'So they are creatures of darkness or something?' I thought as I turned to her and explained what I had analysed. She then nodded before chanting something, as dark mana orbs formed at a distance from us before…
-Screech!!!!
All the monsters started screeching and running towards that dark orb. That little girl then moves the dark orb left and right all around the area, and I find those creatures crazily running towards the orb.
"They aren't merely going to darkness, but it's more like their whole life depends on it. Think of it as a drug to which they are extremely addicted." That girl spoke again, and I pondered over her words before speaking,
"And light should be opposite to that? Something along the lines of darkness is their salvation and light is their worst nightmare?"
She looks at me and nods before pondering and speaking,"ordinary light and darkness aren't enough to give that effect, though. You said you used your own energy to produce those artifacts, right? Can you do me a favour and create a dark orb like I did and try using it to control them?"
I heard her and then started contemplating whether to do it or not. Though, after giving it some thought, I simply decided to follow her words as I channelled my dark energy into the tips of my fingers before… concentrating on it.
-SCREEEEEEETTCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An extremely loud and shrill voice came, attracting not only those monsters in front of me but also those outside of my range. I couldn't sense them, but my instincts were screaming that if I did not do something, I would die within moments.
"Light Magic: Forced Guidance," I spoke as I used up all my light energy at once to create a small orb of light in the exact place of the black orb which I just removed…
I didn't see what happened, but by the time I noticed, all the monsters were gone from my vision. I… a bit confused… turned to the girl beside me…
She was horrified… far more scared, beyond what I have expected. She just kept looking at me for the next few moments and then, after she regained some of her senses, she spoke.
"What… are you?"
Her eyes were wide open and looking at her expression, she wanted to run far away from me… though, I desperately wanted to know what happened just now.
-Swish
I then saw her vanishing from my front, and immediately I activated my enhanced senses. I found her running at an insane speed away from me and noticing that I close my eyes before muttering,
"Dark Magic: Assassin's Silent steps."
And then… I ran as fast as I could. I felt like she was a peak S-Class and judging by her running speed, she should be more necromancy oriented so if I used all my strength, I should be able to catch her.
-Swish
I then ran as fast as I could towards her. Maybe because of using Dark Energy, those creatures also started running towards me, without wasting even a single second. I still had some of my artefacts, so I used them to remove the creatures from my front, not worrying about the ones behind me.
It took about 15 minutes; I had come pretty far away from Drake town before I finally saw her. She was still running and I should be able to catch upto her in about 10 minutes, but…
"Stop!!" I shouted and then I saw her stumbling a little before turning back with horror in her eyes as she started running faster than before.
"I just need answers. I am as confused as you are!!!" I spoke as I ran after her, though there was no response from her. I just kept running after her until I reached really close to her. I saw her turning at me for a few times as she finally spoke two words,
"Kill them."
Hearing her words, I used my artefacts to kill those who were behind me and then I saw her stopping instantly before turning and taking out a sword that she positioned exactly against my neck.
I saw my life flashing before my eyes, before I spoke…
"Blood Magic: First Moon!!" and then heightened my senses and reaction even more, as I barely dodged her attack. I saw her expression turning shocked as I dodge her attack before moving behind her and then positioning myself in a punching position.
I saw her eyes widening even more, and I was irked by her trying to kill me. I did not hold back this time as I…
-BOOOM!!!
Punched her as hard as I could, pushing her far away from me. I then ran towards her and then punched her, again and again… and again… and again…
Until I felt like she was weakened enough so as to not be a threat to me. I already believe she is a vampire, so she must have strong regenerative abilities, so I need to prepare for that in advance too.
After beating the crap out of her, when I finally believed that she is no more a threat, I nodded at myself as I then tied her with a silver chain, filled with my own light magic. This chain should be able to hold properly for sometime… probably.
Once I had chained her, I then looked at the mess I have created behind my back… most of the landscape was destroyed and after looking for a while,
"Well… whatever," I thought as I turned to her, looking… no, glaring at me with slight fear before speaking,"just what in the name of the First Vampire King, are you?"
I looked at her for a few moments as she was cowering as well as glaring before I spoke,"well… First you answer my question and then I will answer yours. What the heck happened there?"
