"How about you share all the details with me?"
William furrowed his brows when he noticed that small smile on Nash's mouth, for some reason, he found that smile… nerve-racking.
"Why would I do that?" William questioned back.
In the end, Nash was still his subordinate; he shouldn't be scared of him.
Not that he was scared in the first place.
He was not scared, Okay?
He… he just felt that something was wrong.
"Since you are scare- I meant, cautious of that man entering into the base and attacking you, it would be better if I share the details with him outside the base. Then he would have no reason to enter and we can continue with this plan." Nash answered.
William raised his eyebrow as he questioned, "Are you not scared that he will kill you since you foiled his plans?"
"If he is a well-trained spy like we think he is, he should know how to control his emotions. I will bet on that, if he does attack me, well, his disguise would be blown and my death will save countless of our soldiers."
William blinked a few times, he didn't know much about Nash, however, he was sure that he wasn't this loyal to the army. He wouldn't risk his life no matter what! Something was definitely wrong here.
"Of course, I am not doing this without anything in return, I hope you keep my merits in your mind."
"You don't have to worry about that, I will remember your merits and reward you sufficiently for it. If by any chance you meet an unfortunate end, I will make sure your family receives all the rewards and won't face any troubles." William nodded with a solemn look on his face.
No matter how doubtful he was, Nash was still risking his life for the army. He needs to reward him well.
"Thank you" Nash nodded.
William nodded back and then the ring he was wearing shined and a file appeared in his hand. He read through the file in a quick minute and nodded again.
"Yes, everything is written here in detail. You can give it to him." William passed the file to Nash.
Nash then nodded as his ring shined and the file disappeared.
William frowned,
The ring Nash was wearing…
It seemed weird…
That design…
He has never seen a ring like that before…
"Now, let's talk about something else, Sir William" While William was thinking all of this, a small smile appeared on Nash's face as he walked towards William.
"What is it?"
"It's about the treasure I found."
"The treasure that hides cultivation?" William questioned in surprise.
"Indeed."
"Are you sure you want to share it with me?" William raised his eyebrow and questioned.
"…" Nash didn't say anything and looked at William with a black look.
"Will you let me go if I don't? William, I am not stupid, I know you had your eyes on the treasure as soon as you heard about it. Which is not wrong, the strong rules and weak obeys.
You are strong, it is only natural you have it. I will not fight against you since I do not have a death wish.
However, I do urge you to reward me a little since I did find this treasure for you."
"…" William stayed silent as he observed Nash's face, trying to see any changes in his expression.
"HAHAHAHA~" However soon, he started laughing as he stood up and started patting Nash's shoulder.
"I knew you were different from the rest! Your vision is admirable! You know when to step back! Good Good! I am impressed.
Don't worry, hand over the treasure to me, I will reward you well! Hahahaha!"
William then laughed again as he continued patting his shoulder.
Nash then raised his hand, the ring on his finger shined.
His eyes then glowed in excitement as a dagger appeared in his hand and he pierced it into William's heart!
…or not.
With a huge smile on his face, William held his hand and laughed again.
"HAHAHAHA~ As I thought, you are not that smart, Nash! I knew something was wrong with you the moment you entered.
Do you really think you can sneak attack, then kill me and keep the treasure? HAHAHAHA~
How idiotic!"
William's eyes glowed as he then glanced at Nash's face.
However, contrary to the panicked expression he assumed he would see, he only saw,
A smile.
An eerie smile.
Nash then freed his hand from William's grip as he stepped back with a smile on his face.
His smile then continued to widen and widen before it turned into a wide, distorted grin.
"It's good that you noticed, William.
Else it would have been too boring."
William's eyes then widened in surprise and red mist surrounded Nash's body as his height started increasing, his build and the clothes he was wearing started changing and finally his face changed as well.
'Nash' suddenly turned into a 1.9-meter tall being, with extremely pale skin, raven hair, a small nose and blood-red eyes.
Handsome,
That was the only word that could describe the being standing in front of him.
However, William's heart was filled with dread when he saw this being.
Others may not know it, but he knew.
This being was…
"Vampire… A pure-blooded Vampire…"
William muttered out loud.
He had heard the tales.
He knew about the forgotten history because his father was a witness.
His father shared the tale.
'If you see a Vampire with extremely pale skin and blood-red eyes... you better be careful…'
This is what he was told.
Azriel's smile widened when he noticed his expression.
He knew that not every human has forgotten about True Vampires.
The strong humans knew.
However, it wouldn't be fun if this William dude was scared of him.
Azriel then stopped hiding and revealed his cultivation.
William's eyes widened in surprise.
"A beginner stage…"
He muttered.
Soon, a smile appeared on his face and it kept widening and he laughed out loud.
"HAHAHAHA~ A beginner stage weakling dared to stand in front of me! HAHAHAHA~
Who gave you that courage, Slave?"
He questioned as his eyes shined uncontrollably.
Azriel's smile widened as well.
"That's a big change… as expected from a human…
Two-faced fools."
Then Azriel dashed towards William and punched.
William was taken aback by the speed Azriel's speed, however, he was still able to react in time and dodge.
However, Azriel was trained by Luminia herself, he punched again, William dodged but due to dodging two punches in successions, his position was a little awkward and that was enough for Azriel.
He crouched and swung his leg to attack William's leg, William lost his balance.
He tried to regain his talent, but that was a mistake.
The moment his focus shifted, Azriel punched his face and his body flew back and he fell down.
"That's it?" Azriel mocked.
William shook his head repeatedly, he then stood up and glanced at Azriel.
"You caught me off guard."
*Spit*
He then spits on the floor and took his battle stand,
"But it won't happen again."
"Heh. We will see about that."
Azriel laughed as he dashed towards William again.
The two of them clashed without using any techniques, and the result?
*Bam*
William's body flew back and collided with the wall.
"Heh. As expected of a human, all bark no bite." Azriel teased.
Suddenly, large cracks started appearing on the wall William's body collided with and then…
*Rumble*
It broke.
...
"Huh? What's happening?"
"Is something wrong?"
This caused a commotion and the soldiers started assembling around.
...
"The plan failed…"
Ithania, who was watching everything from a distance, groaned.
"I knew I couldn't trust that brute. The look in his eyes screamed that he was against assassinating the enemy. Ughhhh!"
She cried in frustration.
"It's an enemy attack! Someone attacked Sir William! Soldiers, assemble! Surround him!"
Ithania then glanced towards the base and saw that the soldiers found Azriel and were about to surround him.
"Haaahh… Alright, let's move to plan B then…"
She muttered as she raised his hand.
The ring on her finger shined as buckets filled with blood appeared around her, then the blood flew in the air before it combined into one and started changing its shape into a spear.
[Blood Spear]
Ithania then pointed her hand towards the soldiers and the Blood Spear moved at an incredible speed.
*Whoosh*
*Boom*
"AAAGGGHHHH!!!"
"WHAT IS THIS!?"
"WHAT'S HAPPENING!?"
"WHO IS IT!?"
The spear attacked the soldiers and a big explosion was heard,
Out of the initial 50 soldiers, 10 died, 20 were injured, while 20 were too far from the explosion.
Although all of this only happened within a second, the Chaos it created lasted for a long while.
"There! That direction! The attack came from there!" A soldier pointed in the direction where Ithania was hiding and out of 20 uninjured soldiers, 10 rushed towards the direction pointed.
However, it was already too late.
The enemy they were facing was the Brains of B&B.
As soon as she shot the Blood Spear, she had already rushed and changed her position.
Ithania knew she couldn't fight, however, she wouldn't get captured and hinder Azriel's fight either.
Her pride won't allow it!
