My Blood Legacy: Reincarnated as a Vampire

Chapter 99: What is the cost of living?



"There\'s something wrong," I said, feeling strong pulsations not only in my head but also in my heart, as if I were being constantly regenerated.

I began to hyperventilate. My whole body started to heat up, as if something were taking over my head with each passing moment. My chest began to slightly expand. "Get out!" I shouted, pushing Valentina and the others away, as my body began to burn in flames and my core... self-destructed, exploding part of my body and opening my chest.

My energy began to drain as I watched black flames consume everything. I didn\'t have time to react, but looking ahead, I saw everything start to melt.

My energy raged, like a roar darker than limbo itself. When I looked properly, I only saw a smile in the distance. A man? No, I didn\'t know what that was. It was a different kind that I had never seen before. The barrier in the sky changed color quickly.

My body began to combust more and more, as if it were about to explode in milliseconds. Everything stopped.

When I viewed the situation from a different perspective, I understood the cause of this. In my soul, or rather, closing my eyes and entering my domain, I realized that I was no longer a vampire, at least not a normal vampire. Maybe what I think might be madness, so I couldn\'t simply assume, as I\'ve been doing.

I looked outside and saw the scene getting blurrier. I had become a huge monster of black fire, almost like a hydra with seven heads, a strange demon, a king? I felt terrible watching that scene. In my mind, everything was chaos, horrible thoughts arose and vanished. Part of me was being emptied, as if everything were slipping away.

My uncontrollable self began to unleash fire on all sides, burning several people trying to flee. Many charred corpses began to lie in front of me. I began to cry inwardly. I wanted to stop, but I couldn\'t. My body was being controlled by something or someone, or something inside me, something that emerged when I was struck.

It felt like I was in sleep paralysis. I saw Valentina in front of me trying to stop the damage and controlling her aura, but I completely ignored her. She seemed weakened... what was that? I didn\'t know, but the barrier in the sky was quite enlightening. It was an attack.

When I realized, I saw several black knights emerging, but Kryoris doesn\'t have black knights... what was this after all? I didn\'t know, but those people were enemies.

I tried in every way to regain control, but it wasn\'t possible. Not even trying to use all my power. It was as if I had never had mana. Nothing was controllable and everything was just a vision of terror.

My uncontrollable self met the ranks of knights, who simply melted. In the shape of a hydra, I simply attacked in a wide direction and precision.

"Stop, Dante! It\'s me, Sara!" I heard Sara shouting, I wanted to stop, but I couldn\'t! I wanted to shout this to her, but I couldn\'t.

"Damn it, it\'s a demonic invasion!" I heard Katarina shouting as she leaped between the ranks killing the knights who appeared to be demon-like creatures. She helped the others and stopped the knights, while they began to evacuate the children and women out of the coliseum.

I was inert. All this destruction was because of me? I was careless, I let my guard down and was struck by something or someone.

"Seal him!" I heard Morgana say, who was creating several layers of barriers to try to stop my body, but, nothing was possible. The barrier in front of me was actually weak, or it became weak due to what happened.

"Someone betrayed us! They cursed the Barrier around the School!" Morgana shouted. Yes, it was possible. The Barrier was altered, of course, why did I think it would be that simple? How would someone get past Yniel and Sylvia, or rather, who would deceive Morgana Arcano? No, it wasn\'t just an altered barrier.

When I stopped thinking and looked at the damage, I began to feel sick, to cry, to struggle seeing what I was doing. Children, elderly, men, and women dead. Not just a few, but hundreds. I saw their bodies charred by the rage that took over my body.

Without a doubt, if I died... I would go to hell. Not that I wanted to avoid such consequences. I would go there one way or another. I still had to meet Lilith somehow.

I was disgusted with myself. Killing children? No, that wasn\'t me. Stop thinking as if it were! Stop, Dante! This being destroying everything isn\'t me!

Don\'t think like that... please... Don\'t make me leave them

I entered despair begging in my mind for everything to go right, just this time, let me finish something important. I was breaking apart slowly, how couldn\'t I? What shocked me the most was what I saw regarding Morgana and Valentina. They simply couldn\'t stop me, not only could they not, but they couldn\'t, how was that possible? What was happening outside of here? Why aren\'t the Rulers intervening?

Is Velkan just watching? That damned wolf isn\'t doing anything to help these people?

I was in fury, both at the enemies and at those who claimed to be allies, I was just a child, why can\'t you stop me! You are the strongest of this era! Stop me now! Please, Stop Me!

I felt something approaching the sky, a familiar person, unfortunately, the pressure of the place changed when a voice emerged.

"Dante, don\'t blame me for what I\'m about to do!" I heard the voice coming from the sky and, thanks to the Almighty God, the Virtue of Justice interfered. Jeanne descended from the heavens with two white feathered wings. She wore a white dress and her hair had grown considerably compared to her natural form.

Like Sara, she turned blonde, with golden curly hair, emerald green eyes, and a golden halo radiating light on her head. She was using a transformation that led her to become an angel, or so I concluded.

I heard screams of despair from all sides, louder and louder, my mind was breaking every second that passed. They were complicated screams of people whom I had just begun to truly value...

"Dante!" Nagasawa shouted. I saw her expression of concern when she was thrown and burned by one of the Hydra\'s heads. Half of her face was gone... That hurt a lot.

"Stop right now!" Gungnir pierced me, but I felt no pain. Valentina had teary eyes as a woman who was transformed into a phoenix appeared by her side, pulling her away.

"Tsukoyomi!" Morgana shouted as darkness covered me, but it was in vain, everything broke.

"Dante, please!" Sara... Again, I left her alone, didn\'t I?

Before I disappeared, I heard an angelic voice... Justice... yes, I understand what you feel... I\'m sorry for forcing you to do this in front of your student.

"I\'m sorry." She said and a huge energy was summoned from the heavens, a sacred energy the size of the coliseum hit me, and then... those were the last things before disappearing from this world

A huge flash of Golden Magic hit me, triggered by the clouds in the sky, I felt everything slowly fading away, my body, soul, and mind, everything collapsed as if it were over...

[Jacob\'s Ladder]!! It was the last phrase I heard, the name of the blow that expelled me, making my body disappear completely. I no longer had any state of life, just a long and vast expanse of white, as I floated in some kind of imaginary world, without any trace of life, it was probably really that, did I die? I don\'t know, but I didn\'t see anything beyond that anymore.

I just know that my body turned to dust, my limbs didn\'t exist anymore, and I was just a... a floating soul while feeling terrible for all the chaos they had created around me.

Everything went wrong again, everything always goes wrong with me. Even when I try to do the right things and plan, everything goes wrong. We had a plan, but my arrogance led to error again. I let my guard down, for what? I don\'t know.

Where am I going? Who am I? I will never know again, how are they? I won\'t know, everything is gone because again, I was stupid.

I died for the second time.
