Eternal Love

Chapter 55

The vampires attacked as they rushed in fighting off the other vampires
"Take this you little shits!" Nitski said before releasing a powerful aura that turned into a claw then attacked the other vampires
"This is finally getting fun" Juhin said and used his wings to attack the other vampires with it. His claws came out and started cutting the vampire's throats the stabbed behind their backs
"Just how much do we have to fight off?" Prisma asked
"Bitch stop complaining and keep fighting!" Nitski said and started kicking the other vampires that blocked her path
"I'll move ahead!" Matsuri said
"E-eh? Matsuri! Wait!" Nitski said as she knocked one of the vampires out
"You can't just rush in there all by yourself!" Juhin said
"We don't have time for this. We have to go!" Matsuri said as she pulled clawed one of the vampire's eyes
"Agh!" The vampire cried as Hunton pinned him down
"Well we can stay here since these vampires are quite pathetic weaklings" Hunton said and punched another vampire
"W-wait are yo-"
"Sure! We can stay here Matsuri. Now go!" Lina said
"Yeah! Take care of that asshole!" Asher said and punched one of the vampires before kicking them to the ground
"Alright then" Matsuri said
"I'll be going to. We can take a couple of guards with us if we need back up" Liana said as she got on her horse
"We're close" Maruta said and vanished
"Let's move!" Matsuri said as her cousins followed her while Liana used her horse to follow the vampires. The group ran through the forest and soon bumped into a couple of large gates
"Maruta, can you do something about this?" Matsuri asked
"Already one step ahead of you" Maruta said before she created a portal on the wall. Liana hopped off her horse and looked around
"I'll stay out here and take care of things" Liana said
"Wh-what? Are you insane?! Liana, your sister must be worried sick. I'm not leaving no one behind!" Matsuri said
"Thank you for your concern, Mizusawa but I believe I can take care of myself just fine" Liana said as she smiled
"Come on Matsuri. Let's go" Nitski said. Matsuri hesitated for a moment but felt a pat on her head as Liana smiled at her
"I promise I'll be fine. Now the rest better get moving before you get caught" Liana said
"Right. Let's go" Matsuri said as she entered the portal along with the rest of the guards they had with them. It was dark but for the vampires it was easy for them to see
"Where are we?" Nitski asked
"In the back...the entrance is filled with vampires" Maruta said
"Let's find this person they're talking about" Matsuri said as she took a step forward and started leading the way. Echoes were heard from above along with a couple of footsteps
"Just how many are there?" Juhin whispered
"I don't know...but...something doesn't feel right" Matsuri said. The group began to walk through the halls and hid whenever a few guards approached them. Maruta knocked a couple of the guards and Matsuri's guards ended up dressing up as the other guards to disguise themselves
"Alright. You guys keep moving while we head upwards" Matsuri whispered
"Understood" The guards said and left while the other guards kept following the Queen. Maruta scanned the area and flinched as she took a step back
"Maruta? What is it?" Matsuri asked
"I'm sensing something pretty strong..." Maruta said as she looked up at the ceiling. All the sudden the group heard a cry that filled the hallways
"Sh-shit...what the hell was that?" Nitski asked
"Let's hurry" Matsuri said as she felt something rushing through her veins and started walking once again
That cry...these echoes...there is something more. The children that attacked were corrupted...which means...
Matsuri's heart started beating fast as her blood began to boil
Don't...just don't let it be..true
"...hey Matsuri. Is that...what I think it is?" Nitski asked as she stared in disbelief at the dark empty hallway. But it wasn't empty. That hallway was filled with cages and inside them were young children who were weeping
"...wh-what the hell?" Juhin said as he trembled
"...th-these children..." Matsuri paused and clenched her fists tightly as she gritted her teeth
They're using these children as toys! But they're just kids! Little girls and boys! They don't deserve this!
"We need to move...quickly!" Matsuri said and ran away
"Matsuri!" Nitski said. Matsuri moved fast and quick as she used her speed to reached towards a door then knocked it open only to see a disturbing scene. The naked woman on the floor sobbing while a couple of male vampires were surrounding her
"Huh?!"
"Who the hell are you?!"
"...you...bastards" Matsuri muttered under her breath before killing the male vampires in an instant that it surprised Matsuri herself.
W-wait...how the hell...was I able to kill them without even...touching them? Is this...a new skill? Wait!
She shook her head and rushed towards the woman. Matsuri knelt down before reaching out and removed the gag
"LET ME GO! GET AWAY!" The woman shouted
"I'm not here to hurt you...I just want to save you...and the others. Don't worry...I promise you won't have to suffer no more. Not...anymore" Matsuri said but the woman kept crying loudly. Matsuri lifted her head up and gritted her teeth seeing more cages with young woman
These mortals...are in danger!
"Matsuri!" Nitski said and gasped at the scene
"Wh-what?" Juhin asked as he looked around
"So this is...how they do it?" Maruta asked as she trembled
"...get them out. Now! Get them out of here this instant!" Matsuri said and stood up on her feet again.
"I'm afraid you won't be going nowhere..." A deep voice was heard and everyone turned around seeing someone wearing a mask. Matsuri only glared at him before her eyes turned bloody red as she prepared herself for battle
"You guys do as your told...and get them out. Leave them all...to me" Matsuri said as she removed her cloak
"Bu-"
"That's an order!" Matsuri shouted before glaring at the man coldly. The man chuckled behind the mask as he looked at her
She is one fine vampire...heh...she will be perfect
