Jelia watched the man exit the safety of the stronghold, her sneer growing as she moved up to the edge as she watched him moving along to the corridor, her eyes glued to him as she watched him speaking to the women.

"You sure it's wise to allow him to do this Mistress?"

She watched as the man picked up a stone, lobbing it down the hallway as the sound echoed, a few vampires laughing as she knew herself that this man was stupid. He looked weak, and from the sounds of it, this was possibly the man that had come in earlier.

She was not worried really as she had never met a guest more critical than the vampire clan, sure that the message earlier by her Mistress was to scare the lower caste of vampires into behaving. Also to make sure they did not drink his blood.

"Mistress, why..."

Before she could even finish her sentence she felt a fist colliding with her face; her body flung back a few meters as she landed flat on her a.s.s, other vampires staring in confusion as they looked to Delina who had just thrown her fist into the defence leader.

Jelia was shocked as this was the first time the Mistress had done something like this, her eyes full of rage as she stood up slowly, confused and concerned as she waited to hear a reason.

"You may have f.u.c.ked up our future relations.h.i.+p."

"Why do you care about him, what can he offer us? We never required any aid before!"

"Come and watch them. It's up to you to mend the relations.h.i.+p afterwards."

Jelia came up to the edge again, ma.s.saging her cheek as it would leave a bruising that could take some time to clear up.

She watched in fear as she felt the waves of power starting to roll from the man, the weapon appearing in his hands as if pure magic, the bow drawing many eyes as it became a focal point for everyone.

The aqua like a monster unleashed as the power started to flood from the surrounding area, forming an arrow as the bowstring became tight as it became pulled back entirely.

When the arrow released it was clear that something was wrong, the sound of air ripping as the shaft broke the sound barrier, waves of air causing everyone to grab onto different objects.

Loud screeching, cras.h.i.+ng and crunching could be heard only for a brief moment as everyone froze in panic, eyes looking at each other as a few vampires slowly climbed down.

Jelia climbed down with the rest as she moved towards the tunnel, eyes looking down it as she felt like her soul was getting drained from her body, eyes slightly bulging as she had made a mistake.

"I think you should prepare. I've cleared the wave and instilled enough fear, but the rats may try to come out."

Nathan spoke with a normal voice, apparently not affected by the carnage that had happened.

The long two hundred and fifty-ish corridor now coated. Walls, floor, roof and every free bit of s.p.a.ce covered in blood, gore and body parts. The entire centre of the room bright with crimson.

Obliterated, annihilated, eradicated.

Few of the vampires started to cough, almost sick by this. A few other vampires stared in disbelief as if this was the first time something like this had descended onto them.

Jelia felt her knees growing weak as she watched this, she could take on two or three ratmen at a time when fighting on the similar ground, most vampires maybe could fight on par with these scary creatures as they mutated, infused with corrupting divine magic.

This man had destroyed hundreds if not thousands as they crawled through this corridor, trying to kill the one who had trespa.s.sed. Every single one dead, most fully destroyed with those on the outskirts turning into paste.

Nathan turned around, his legs taking him over both to Jelia and Delina, one looking proud while the other seemed to be regretting everything.

"Look young woman. Do not regret and bash in self-defeat. Just know that what you see with your eyes can easily be deceived. If I were an a.s.sa.s.sin, I would have easily killed you."

He placed his hand on her shoulder, picking her up as he smiled down at her. "Look, learn from this. I do not blame you at all as the intentions were to keeping your Mistress status. Please try to be more aware."

Jelia nodded her head, pulling herself up as she straightened her back, hand onto her chest as she would scream out.

"Yes, Sir!"

The other vampires saluting to him in respect as Delina seemed to giggle with this kind of connection.

"Nathan, what do you plan to do now?"

Nathan turned to look back to the hole, his smile growing as he held onto the bow.

"I've got to clear out some rodents. It's clear what the next plan is."

System: G.o.dly Act - 800 Faith

System: G.o.dly Act - 1200 Faith

System: Corrupted Slain - 965 Faith (1 Point Per Slain)

Nathan smiled as the woman had given him some points for this, he would shake his head as he just continued to think about the many different types of corrupted.

"System, how much points can I obtain per corrupted killing?"

He turned to look down the corridor, watching one half dead man crawling away from him, both legs and an arm destroyed as it was still trying to flee to safety.

System: Per corrupted kill is one point, except in the instance of higher ascended creatures.

He understood well as he walked down the hallway, moving up towards the creature that was desperately trying to crawl away from him, the screeching of pain and helplessness as it knew death was descending to it.

"Shush, I'll end this misery you call existence."

He pressed the top end of the bow against the creature's head; the screaming died as the cracking of bones and skull echoed down the corridor, a small dark oak tree sapling breaking from the body as it began to grow from the corpse.

System: G.o.dly Act Gained - 4 points

System: Corrupted Kill - 1 point.

System: Wors.h.i.+pers gained - 1 Dominion.

Nathan continued walking down the hall, silence the only thing remaining besides the cracking of the bones as the tree continued to grow.
