Vampires Legacy

"Ariel!"

The second the silver-haired vampire enters the room, she vanishes in no more than a second. Chifuyu's eyes then lock on a small cube that begins glowing which he hadn't noticed before.

"Huh? What just… Where did she go?"

"She entered the labyrinth."

"What?"

"The object you see is a labyrinth artifact. I set it to activate once someone steps near it, and for only one person to be allowed in." Even while fighting all this time, Patrick had been making sure Chifuyu wasn't stepping near it which was hugging the wall right by the door. It was a gamble that could only work this way. If he held it on him there were 2 risks. One: It activates a few seconds after you set the enter conditions so he could've got caught in it before throwing it at Ariel. Two: If he was able to throw it at Ariel the element of surprise would've been gone, so she could likely dodge the artifact. Having it lie in wait by the door was the most viable choice, which worked.

"Shit. This is the means to deal with her you were talking about."

"Indeed, it wasn't easy getting my hands on that. The color of it represents its difficulty, a combination of black and red being the most challenging. Vampires are by no means the strongest race, we almost never enter labyrinths because there's no merit in doing so. Real labyrinths have gates that you can enter and leave through. As for their artifact counterparts, those in it will not be freed until the boss is defeated. By being forced into one of the most perilous labyrinth artifacts there is, the Vampire Lord will likely die possibly before she even gets to the boss. I'm incapable of killing Ariel, so if this doesn't do the job, it's curtains for me."

However he believes there's a 0% chance she'll actually conquer it. There are dozens of labyrinths of the continent where the vampires reside. There are only a few vampires in history that have beaten a black and red labyrinth. One being the Vampire King and 3 Vampire Lords, including Ariel's sister Ayume.

"So all Ariel has to do is throw down with some monsters. Sounds like she'll be back in no time."

"How naive. You can't begin to comprehend the power of beings that come from the Alter World."

"I don't need to. I believe in Ariel."

"Then I suppose I should wrap this up."

As Patrick says this, he gazes upon the blood dripping down Chifuyu's cheek. His pupils dilate as he licks his lips.

"Ah… I can't hold back any longer. Your blood AROUSES ME!"

A comedic spark zings around Patrick's private area. Chifuyu looks on clearly disgusted and concerned.

"Dude, are you hard? Ah hell nah!"
