Valen sat in the penthouse apartment of the Wilis Building. He was having a great night so far. On his bed laid some stupid girl who had come to the city to make it big as an adventurer.
How easy it was to harvest such young blood with just some money. First, he could satisfy his carnal desires and then his hunger. Valen loved this day and age. It had become a lot easier to get his hands on fresh blood.
Back then there would have been a lot of people asking questions even when just some homeless vanished off the streets. It would take a lot of resources to make records vanish. Now? Nobody cared about one or two adventurers disappearing.
Surveillance had become almost zero and the police forces and guards already reached their limit taking care of the obvious crimes. An ancient vampire like him had an easy time making a living.
The only break in his heart was that someone else had gotten his hand on his grandfather's creation. If only the family was not so incompetent. Grandfather Tom had left so much behind for them in this building, that only needed the tower to be activated.
What Empire? What Demons? They could have taken control of Delta in the blink of an eye if one of their descendants had proven worthy. They had even gotten one of the entrance tokens into circulation to see whether somebody managed to get in the tower. It would not have been hard to get control back, once they were in.
But what happened? Some upstart had gotten lucky and stolen their key to glory. The vampire was still stumped about how that could have happened. The worst part was that this Seth was too smart for his own good.
Although he had turned out stronger than expected, there was no way for some random guy to compete with them. Even if they could not get their hand on the tower, they could not allow someone else to.
It was better to just get rid of him. A warm feeling filled his stomach when he thought of what he was going to do with this Seth and his friends. There were quite a few cute girls among his entourage.
The thought of defiling and breaking them in front of that smug guy's eyes satisfied his sadistic heart. And afterward, he would bring them into the room. He could not wait to see his face once he saw those girls follow him willingly.
Swirling the fresh blood in his wine glass he stepped onto the balcony and took a sip. The bathrobe that covered his chiseled body blew in the soft breeze of the city. The schemer's self-satisfied smile vanished when he heard an explosion from the lower floors.
Fire and wind magic struck the front of the building. The magic protections were able to block most of the damages but the glass façade was still smashed to pieces.
The guards stationed in the lobby rushed out to meet the attackers but were met by overwhelming force. The Willis forces could barely hold on against the attacker while the enemy casters were already firing the second volley.
The protections had a hard time withstanding the elemental attacks but held on. It was a concentrated beam of light that finally broke through. Part of the protective layers on the lower floors dissipated giving way for the magic attacks.
But this chance was gone. The guards and protection had bought enough time for the Willis' private parties to join the fray. They were the Family Members accompanies by their personal high-level parties. They easily outnumbered the attackers 3:1 but still had to exert themselves to bind their attacks.
Valen had not cared originally. The family had not only friends. Being attacked by others was nothing unusual. But seeing that their private forces were needed to deal with the threat he came over to the railing and watched.
He looked at the fight down on the street. It would have been hard for a regular human, but his vampire eyes were like those of an eagle. He immediately recognized the people that had original accompanied that upstart. They were even accompanied by a force of feral cat warriors.
But where was that annoyance? He could not find their leader among them. If he was not among them, had he entered alone through the elevator? It couldn't be that he planned to fight him alone.
The vampire couldn't help but snicker. Admittedly the man's armor was sturdy and his gear high-grade, but that was far from enough to stand up to him. What else could be that man's goal with this little charade?
Valen observed the enemy being pushed back and returned to his apartment to get dressed. If Seth was in the building, he would find him and kill him. The vampire saw it as a great chance. The leader had left the circle of his guard and entered the battlefield alone.
The bloodsucker took his private elevator to the ground floor. His prey would come from the lobby, it would be easier to start from there and work his way up. On the way down Valen fell a little stuffy. Was it getting warmer?
The moment Valen left the elevator and entered the lobby, Seth left the regular elevator on the floor right below the penthouse. Throwing balls of soul fire left and right he kept looking for the stairwell to the penthouse.
When he finally found his way up, he only found a dead girl on a bed, but no one else.
"Valen?!" he called out for the vampire but it seemed like a bloodsucker was out. Originally, Seth had wanted to taunt him a little before using "home call" to return to the church. Today was not the day for the vampire to die, Al'Zalsa was still on cool down.
Otherwise, he would have thrown the lich at the vampire and let the two old timers duke it out. Since nobody was home to receive guests Seth started setting fire to the place. He had already done so to the first ten floors of the building.
There was little that could stop the soul fire from devouring everything. Especially since he was still present to kept it going. He used the stairwell down and meticulously threw several fireballs and fire lances into each floor.
The building may have had a shield on the outside, but the inside burned like tinder. At this point, the fire he had lit on the lower floor would have spread to the mid of the high riser. He got not kill notification at all, was the whole building empty? Or were all residents above lv. 40 and simply ported out?
Seth had just lit the 20th floor from the top when he heard a wrathful roar shaking the building. As he was listening the volume of the roar became louder and the shaking stronger. It seemed like a very angry bat was closing in on him.
He heard a crash followed by the sound of ripping metal and shattering concrete. Accompanied by the elevator door that was launched into the hallway, a still burning Valen entered the stage.
The ugly giant bat that would even make a gargoyle look away in disgust was covered in burns and still burning patches of soul fire. The eyes of the creature looked wild and crazy from rage and pain.
Swinging its giant claws and thick muscular arms it charged at Seth like a bull. The blacksmith used the "Disruptor Boots" to disrupt the charge and
