My Red Glowing Eyes

The Virgin Maiden ♍︎

   Sunoo flips back, standing upside down of the ceiling. Virgo stares at him, brows furrowed. "A vampire?" She speaks.

"Does it matter?" He watches her grin and without even knowing, the ceiling is casted with a magic circle, summoning iron chains. Sunoo gets scratched, hissing before retreating, but the magical chains follow his trail, never stopping until the caster stops. He doesn't have any knowledge of this work with magic and powers. He only knows his own capabilities.

"You can't run forever!" Virgo shouts. "It's only a matter of time before you lose energy."

Sunoo travels around the pillar, wrapping the chains until they eventually get tangled. The zodiac watches with shock, not expecting the boy to outsmart her.

He charges at her, and throws a punch. She catches his fist and returns it, but her fist is also caught. Without much of a struggle, Sunoo pulls her over his head before he flips, kicking her in the chest. With inhumane strength as a vampire, he hears bones cracking before she's sent flying to the other side of the room.

Sunoo watches as she gets up, his wounds unable to heal from the iron. "You really are a monster, no wonder everyone hates vampires." She holds herself steady, struggling to breathe.

Sunoo stands still, cold words seeping into his mind.

Does everyone hate vampires that much? Do the others think I'm repulsive?

It's been a struggle, but Sunoo has seen the cautious gestures from the Bijou team, but he can't blame them, all too cautious for their own good. The Nexus team is more willing and forgiving, but sometimes, he thinks they hate him, his bloodline history causing harm to their leader & close friend. There are many victims caused by his own kin, sadly enough, if the war is won by the alliances, then they'd still treat vampires lowly. Even the innocent ones.

Lost in thoughts, pain strikes through Sunoo's lower hip, skin burning when he realized the maiden had attacked him again, chains pulling and tugging with spikes on them.

The next thing he knows, the entire room shakes, a magic circle covering the planes of the chamber; floor, to walls, and ceiling. Thinking fast as he could, Sunoo raises his arm and slices through the chain connected to him. In a split second, he leaps in the air.

Chains and various weapons fire and Sunoo does his best to protect himself. He feels cuts all over his body, and a couple swords stab into him, screaming. A couple chains make their way, piercing the boy's arm and leg.

Virgo clears the magic circle, only leaving the remnants of weapons piercing the ground and ceiling, chains slotted into the floor and ceiling everywhere. In the center of the room, she sees Sunoo hanging by the chains in his limbs. Blood dribbles along the blades and chains within him, a beautiful sight for the zodiac.

Sunoo bites down his cries, the burning sensation as iron burns into his body, weakening him. He must act fast before he may die.

He sees Virgo still remaining in the same spot, pondering if the damage he inflicted caused that much harm to her body. But the second she takes a step, she leaps with full force, grabbing a sword and aiming to pierce his heart.

Regulating his body despite the sheer pain, his free hand latches on a nearby chain, ignoring the burning skin. With brute power, the chain connected to his arm breaks, Virgo missing the boy. Sheer pain takes Virgo by shock, blood hurdling screams emitted when her arm is sliced clean. Too distracted by the pain, she leaves herself wide opened. But with little senses still heightened, she feels a dark aura right behind her, skin turning into goose bumps despite the cold sweat.

   The zodiac turns around, eyes wide when she sees his red glowing eyes meet hers. They look ferocious and deathly.

"Who are you exactly?" She asks, landing in a spot where there's not too many swords accumulated in the ground. The latter breaks free from the chain in his right leg, leaping to stand on the ceiling again. Upside down, she can still read his angry expressions.

"I'm the second prince of the king known as Kim Bomin." He can tell that Virgo is trying keep a poker face, but her gulping deeply doesn't go unnoticed.

"I see," She says and straightens her posture, grabbing another sword. "It's a shame you will die here." Sunoo drops down from the ceiling, landing on top of a sword's handle as if the balance and landing made him light as a feather. He pulls out the weapons within him. There's so much blood that should have poured out of the boy, but Virgo is shocked to see that none comes out.

This is a lot of blood to control within my commands... I need to make it fast.

   Sunoo waits for an opening when Virgo charges at him. When the swords are thrown, long strands of blood catch them and latch onto Virgo. The maiden struggles within her restraints of the vampire's, unaware of this power.

   Just then, Sunoo's nails elongate into claws and stabs straight into the girl.

"Release."

   Blood explodes and paints the floor and walls, draining the zodiac of blood, leaving her to collapse. He's sure she can't die even if she were to lose all the blood within her, but just in case, he manages to clot up her wounds when she blacks out.

   Sunoo let's go of her body and begins to feel heavy and fatigued, falling onto a knee.

"Well, at least I won—" He bends over, sucking in the pain. It's been decades since he's been injured like this. All to retain high pain tolerance in any scenario. He peaks at the zodiac, dark magic or some kind leaving her body. Sunoo couldn't care less, starting to feel pangs in his stomach, but not from the wounds.

It better not be it— I'll be damned if it consumes my resistance—

   In a split moment, the boy passes out on the ground, luckily, his head doesn't plummet into any residual weapons.
