Corrupted soul

Attraction.

"Who are you, and what is your relations to that boy?" Jessica's eyes narrowed slightly as she questioned. To her sudden question, Arianna tilted her head slightly.

"Were you not listening to what I said just now? I said he is my master." Arianna answered easily.

"He... Is your master? That's a lie. Even if what you said is the truth, how exactly did you get here?" She was getting more confused the more she ponders.

That was to be expected, after all the ones who had brought Kenta to the temple of power were Jessica and Leroux. He hadn't brought any servants with him when they arrived.

And even if he had such a powerful servant, why didn't he bring her out before? This is the question that had left her mostly puzzled.

The flaming bear and the black crow glared at her warily, the aura of death shrouded her body, surrounding her.

The flame bear and the black crow were not able to move closer, it was an instinctual fear, the fear of death. They understood that if they approached any closer, they could die.

The two tailed wolf growls in fear as it hid behind Jessica's feet. "If we're just going to talk, could you dispel that unpleasant aura around you? And you three stay back." As beings who were of the living of flesh, they were weak to the aura of death which feed off life energy.

Jessica's face was tensed ever since the aura of death appeared. There was no telling how the situation would play out if one of her beasts had attacked impulsively, so she chose to call them back.

"Understood." Deeming that the other side no longer has any hostile intentions, Arianna nodded and quickly dispersed the aura of death around her slender body. Seeing that, Jessica subconsciously exhaled the air through her lungs.

However, despite not having the aura of death anymore, the pressure she exuded was overwhelming. 'How could he have someone so strong as his servant?' Jessica furrowed her brow in contemplation.

'The mysteries surrounding that boy just keeps getting bigger.' Jessica sighed, as though expelling her pent-up exhaustion. She then glanced back to the woman with long blackish red hair before asking.

"Did Kenta hired you as his servant? Your characteristics seems to be those from the hidden mist clan."

The hidden mist clan were recognized to be the best assassins known in this world; they were also known to be the best at manipulating shadows.

Arianna had hidden in the shadows and had concealed her presence enough that it was impossible for her to notice without the help of her beast.

Arianna was already skilled at shadow manipulation even before she had died all those years ago.

Kenta further enhanced her abilities when he turned her into an undead vampire, not only was her natural abilities significantly improved, but she had also gained a stronger soul, bringing out even greater potential from her body.

But when Jessica mentioned the hidden mist clan Arianna merely tilted her head in confusion.

Apparently, she wasn't aware of the hidden mist clan's existence. After her revival most of her past memories were lost. She didn't have any lingering attachment to her past memories either.

The only desire she feels now was serving her current master. Jessica observed her reaction and heaved another sigh, "Forget it, inform your master I will be visiting him later tonight." Jessica turned and was about to leave.

"Sigh, this boy he really knows how to cause trouble for me doesn't he." Jessica sighed as she left, the invisible barrier shattered, as the training grounds returned to its natural state.
