Chapter 24: The Appearance of a Vampire

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roy was not a hundred percent sure that Lucius’s soul was transforming into a high-quality one. And despite Lucius being still alive, Roy, a demon, could smell his soul from his body.

Smelling this, Roy could not help salivating. His body was instinctively telling him, Quick! Go get this soul!

However, his reason told him, No! It’s not time yet! You still need Lucius, this contractor. And his soul has not yet reached its most delectable state!

It was precisely because he was attracted by the smell of his soul that Roy was looking at Lucius hungrily. When Lucius’s eyes came into contact with Roy’s, Lucius felt a shiver run down his spine. He felt as though he was being stared at by some fierce and dangerous beast. It was an instinctive warning from his sixth sense.

Lucius unconsciously moved backward, but Roy’s big hand grabbed him and pulled him closer.

“What are you afraid of?” Roy narrowed his eyes.

“No... nothing!” Lucius denied. However, he had to say that he truly regretted his decision now that he knew transacting with a demon was much scarier than he thought!

However, Roy now perfectly interpreted and acted what it meant to be a demon. He laughed vigorously, and as though he was reading Lucius’s mind, he told him in a low tone, “You think you can still turn back? It’s useless. After signing the contract, your body is already covered with demonic aura. You are like a firefly in the dark in the eyes of those from the church!”

Lucius’s psychological defense line immediately fell apart.

Little did Lucius know that Roy was deceiving him. While demonic aura might be real, he would not know how powerful those people from the church were.

While watching Lucius in anguish, Roy coldly sneered. “Relax. Maybe demons are really evil, but the demons are more contract abiding than you think. Since you summoned me and signed the contract, then I will see it through!”

After he finished speaking, he let Lucius go, extended a claw kindly, and helped Lucius adjust his collar. However, the sparkling claws gave Lucius unsatisfactory customer service. Lucius looked with bated breath at those nails and followed them as they moved...

“You did a good job presenting me with four souls so quickly. Well done!” Roy smiled. “So, I won’t be stingy about giving you a little reward!”

While speaking, Roy opened the system interface.

Roy was unsure how other demons fulfilled their contractors’ wishes, but he thought those low-rank demons did not know how to use magic and usually solved issues with violence. But Roy was different and had a different solution.

Roy casually drew a test tube and some liquid in the system interface. Then he started to define the potion in the test tube.

He defined it with Slimming Medicine and Rapid Burning of Ten Kilograms of Fat!

The definitions of such a potion were simple and did not require much soul power to exchange for it, so Roy used his fingers and sketched randomly in the air in front of Lucius. Before long, a test tube appeared in his hands.

And that test tube appeared to contain a water-like liquid... Yes, Roy was too lazy to even color it, and it was also tasteless. He handed it to Lucius just like that.

“Drink it!” Roy said. “This thing can prolong your life!”

Lucius held the test tube and hesitated, unsure if he should believe Roy. But seeing Roy stare at him intently, he did not have much choice apart from raising his head and downing it.

Lucius moved his lips and did not taste anything. While he was wondering, he suddenly felt a strong burning sensation in his body. Unsure of what was happening, he screamed in panic.

It was actually only his fat burning...

After shouting for a while, Lucius realized that there was no pain but only sweat surging from his body. After the burning sensation disappeared, he suddenly felt that his body was much lighter. A feeling of relaxation came, making him feel as if he had become younger!

Lucius was overcome with emotion as he touched his body with disbelief and exclaimed in surprise, “Oh my God! Has... my life increased?”

“Yes!” Roy replied while looking down. “You presented souls, so I extended your life. Fair deal, right?”

“Yes! Yes!” Lucius nodded excitedly. “Really fair!”

Roy shrugged it off as something trivial but was thinking deep down about what a fool Lucius was!

This world belonged to the end of the nineteenth century when science had just started picking up, so Lucius had neither any idea of what human medicine was nor that obesity was the largest enemy to his health. Roy’s test tube of slimming medicine helped him burn ten kilograms of fat rapidly, causing him to lose weight immediately. This greatly reduced the burden on his heart, arteries, and whole body, making him feel ‘relaxed’ and even misconstrued it as a prolonging of his life.

Hmm... It can’t be considered a misunderstanding. Losing some weight truly did help him gain a few more years of life...

The little sweetener given to Lucius made him more determined to transact with the demon. Roy chose to do this for the sake of Lucius’s soul because this was the first soul that Roy had encountered that would soon become high-quality. How could he easily let it go? Since Roy had guessed that his soul was evolving because of his depravation, he needed to let Lucius continue degenerating.

After gaining benefits from presenting souls, Lucius would more ardently collect them...

As for how to collect? Heh heh, of course through killing people, Roy thought about it for him. Anyway, vampires frequent the town, so couldn’t Lucius easily blame those vampires for the lost lives later?

Alas, I am getting more and more evil! Roy sighed before returning to his senses. Not right. I am now a demon. For demon standards, I should be becoming more and more outstanding!

At this moment, Roy suddenly heard a piercing cry from afar. He turned around and saw a bat-like flying creature in the sky in the distance. It had broken through the grey fog and flew out.

As a demon, Roy had darkvision and could clearly see things in a dark environment. When the bat-like flying creature broke through the fog, Roy saw the shadow of a dark castle behind it.

Although Lucis could not see it, he also heard the cry. He immediately shivered and panicked. “Vampire! It’s a vampire! It’s come out to hunt!”

No, I need to go home and hide! Lucius thought, but he was held down by Roy. “Why are you panicking? You’re under the protection of a demon, so how can the vampire touch you?”

“Yes... Yes, right!” Lucius held his ground and became slightly braver.

In fact, Lucius was not to be blamed. The small town of Transylvania had been living in the shadow of these vampires for many years, causing the people here to form a conditioned reflex. And Lucius, as mayor of the town, had to lead the townspeople to resist the vampire attacks. After a while, the townspeople became resistant to him, and this made him feel even more helpless against the vampires. If not for this, why would he have thought of resorting to such extreme means as seeking help from a demon?

Roy pointed in the direction from where the vampire flew out and asked Lucius, “That direction, is that where the vampire castle is?”

“Yes!” Lucius quickly nodded. “Dracula and his brides live there. The entire town knows about this castle, but apart from the Villelis family, no one has dared go near it...”

“You return first. I’ll go take a look at the castle!” Roy loosened his grip on him, stretched his demon wings, and created a gust of wind as he flew up into the sky.

Lucius stared blankly at Roy’s flying figure and took a long time before he came back to his senses. He trembled as he climbed down from the roof...
