Chapter 471: Saved By Her
-----
In those times, Kuro was taken away by Julia through horse. But at the end, the horse ended dying out of exhaustion after a long while of running away. She was wounded with arrows too, and the mare gave her last breaths before dying in the middle of the forest.
Kuro was left devastate, he didn't knew what else to do, but Julia smiled back at him, always, even while she didn't knew what to do either.
The two wandered across the wilderness of ancient Japan however they could. But in such ancient times, Yokai wandered astray within the forests and mountains, and were a constant threat to humans, wandering around alone in the wilderness at night was like a death sentence.
In the middle of their second week, the two were suddenly caught by a band of Savage Oni, the ancestor of the current Oni, who were more like barbarian monsters than the more human-like ones of now.
They only saw humans as food or entertainment, barbarian, beastly, and sadistic by nature, they chased them down for hours and hours, until they caught them.
Kuro was protected by Julia with everything she had, using a large claymore gifted to her before departing by her master, she defended her young master with her life. The young girl managed to defeat three Onis surprisingly. She didn't knew how, but somehow in such last moments of desperation, a force awakened within her, adrenaline rushing through her body.
However, at the end, she was defeated, her body was tired and exhausted, and ultimately, she was thrown into the ground, and tore apart one limb at a time. Her groans of suffering resonated through the forest as the little young Kuro was made to look as the Onis lowly began to take out his fingers and toes and eat them, using them as mere snacks to pass the time of the night…
Both of them had thought that this was going to be their agonizing end, not by the hands of humans but by the hands of the horrors of folklore who ended being real…
However, in their last moments, a light of hope emerged as the moonlight shone brighter than before.
Rays of gray light reached the Oni and in a second, their perpetuators were all turned into stone.
Kuro and Julia, barely holding up to life while losing blood, looked at their savior, a tall and beautiful Vampiress whose eyes shone with bright eeriness, Clementine.
They were already about to die, and she offered them to keep on living, but not as themselves anymore.
Kuro proclaimed that he had already lose everything, and there wasn't anything left to lose, while Julia asked to be always at the side of her beloved young master…
Clementine shared her blood with them, and after a few seconds, their bodies underwent complete changes, their wounds closed up as their limbs began to slowly, very slowly regenerate back.
She carried both of them while wrapped in leather, away from the dangerousness of the forest.
Since that moment that they swore allegiance to her, their savior, and the one that brought them to this new life.
Eventually, when their limbs regrew, they were able to move once more and do as they pleased. But now that they were part of the Vampire Clan, they had to be introduced to many things. But through such a journey, they made many allies, friends, and enemies.
Always sticking together despite their turbulent past, Kuro and Julia fought and sharpened their skills constantly, to the point of surpassing the limits of mortality and ascending into Demigods.
Modern times had changed how people viewed the world, and their own perspective of everything seemed quite outdated.
Nonetheless, they always were together, as master and servant, even after having lived for so long, they had yet to confess each other's love.
Unlike Mochi and Kokoro, they didn't strived to prove anything, but after so long of working in this clan, and having achieved such high positions, they disliked the idea of letting just anyone to make them join them in a crusade against a terrifying enemy they had yet to even see.
At the very least, they wanted to see how worthy of their master's help they were, and now, here they were, confronting two of Frank's wives.
The two were calm, their strength gave them such a privilege. Despite looking even more common and normal than the previous twins whom Kaguya and Sadako fought against, they held greater capabilities and a deeper power.
"Today we shall confront you." Said Kuro, speaking. He surprised the two women.
"Make sure to do your best. Because we'll be going all out from the beginning." Said Julia with a gentle smile, her eyes lightly opened, revealing sharp crimson-red irises.
"I wouldn't like it other way." Said Gwendolyn.
"I will do what I can." Said Axitl.
"Hm, good. Very well then, the battle between Kuro and Julia against Gwendolyn and Axitl, will Start!"
Sebas gave the order for the battle to begin, as Gwendolyn suddenly disappeared.
Kuro knew that she had suddenly rushed at such a speed she was barely discernible by the common eye, he was looking at her as she moved at such speed, as if time for him went very slowly.
"Stop." He said, his eyes flashed with bright gray light, Gwendolyn suddenly felt as if time itself stopped around her, her might was gone in an instant against the almighty power of the boy's eyes.
"T-Those eyes…!"
Julia suddenly emerged right in front of her.
"Good! You were going all out." She said, as her little and delicate hands wielded the gigantic claymore, and she swung it against Gwendolyn with all her force!
CLANK!
"UUAGGH…!"
Gwendolyn was thrown away in an instant into the ground!
BOOOM!!!
The might of such a powerful blade and Vampiress was now evident, she even vomited blood!
"W-What the…?!"
Gwendolyn looked up to Julia, as she suddenly saw behind a gigantic knight clad in armor emerge within her divine aura, enormous, like a titan, protecting the small boy, Kuro.
"She's… like a wall." She thought.
"Good thing I hit you, if this were a serious fight, your entire body would had been sliced in half." Said Julia.
