My Blood Legacy: Reincarnated as a Vampire

This was due to the words Dante spoke regarding the actions of other children of rulers and the like. The reality was that yes, strength resolved everything in Kryoris, but Dante quickly shifted this balance. Not only strength, but honesty became something to be valued.

He didn't notice this much, after all, his group consisted only of Dante, Sara, Akiko, and Clovis, and he didn't interact much with others.

Dante maintained enthusiasm in all classes. He could finally feel what he came to Kryosis for: knowledge.

Dante also tried to find out more about the earrings he had picked up, but it was in vain. He regretted following his darkest instincts and ignoring the other items in the director's legendary library. Perhaps again his lack of patience had caused him to miss a good opportunity. Some would describe this sudden action in that way, but he didn't have time to dwell on it.

Thus, his wizard skills began to increase with the help of the teachers. The purpose of attending the academy began to make sense.

Small moments became unique, and Dante began to value his time more in this new world. His actions were contradictory, but he could no longer stand still and regret everything that had happened. All this led him to have a stronger mentality to move forward and reach the same place that Valentina once reached.

"Are you listening?" Clovis asked, waving his hands in front of Dante's eyes.

"Oh, yes, I was just distracted by something," he replied as they both walked towards the outside of the academy.

"What are you thinking about?" Clovis questioned, furrowing his brow.

"Sara," he replied softly, as Clovis tried to understand why he would be thinking about her now.

"The excursion is coming up soon, and you're thinking about her?" Clovis asked lightly.

"That's exactly why. I hope she doesn't go overboard like she did in the fight against Elizabeth. Maybe I won't be able to stop her, she's improved a lot lately," he replied.

"I didn't ask, but are you okay with not having a familiar?" Clovis asked, it was the first time he could talk about this subject.

"Honestly, I don't know. I heard a bit about familiars when I had my classes with Morgana, but I don't know if having a weak bat or a fire lizard could really help me at this moment," Dante said.

"Don't call him a fire lizard!" Clovis became annoyed.

"Hahaha," he laughed exaggeratedly.

"Let's get going, idiot," Clovis said as he made his way to the location Nagasawa had marked.

Meanwhile...

The sound of swords clashing, fire spreading, children crying, women terrified. Blood was gushing from the warriors trying to protect the area. It was as if hell had descended on earth, and the flames began to consume everything that could be burned.

Children hidden.

Were they orphans? Many were. Their homes were now ablaze, their sad and hopeless eyes could be seen, but it was not the time for that.

Some had lost their parents, loved ones like uncles, grandparents, and caregivers. It was a small town, but it did not deserve such a barbaric act.

They ran, yes.

They ran without stopping. The shouts of barbarian warriors could be heard, whispers of those who just wanted to survive the situation, screams of beasts could be heard. Everything was very clear, yet very frightening.

Everything was chaos, hope had vanished along with the food that now burned.

The entire city was under attack. The knights tried to manage the crisis, but they were too many. It was a wave of infernal monsters, goblins and orc warriors carrying large axes and bows with flaming arrows, their eyes seemed to be out of control.

It was a coordinated attack, some would say orchestrated and controlled.

"Where's Eva!" The fifteen-year-old girl shouted, looking at her other younger sisters. Her emerald eyes glowed slightly as she saw the fear in the younger ones' eyes.

"We don't know, she wasn't with us." An eight-year-old girl replied, frustrated.

"Listen, run to the forest! No matter what happens, don't let them catch you. I'll look for Eva and take her with me. Don't look back under any circumstances, understood?!" She shouted. Her cries were not heard by the huge Orcs attacking the city due to the loud sounds of the fire muffling the area where they were.

"Gabriel, protect your little sisters, understood?" She questioned the nine-year-old boy, who nodded. "Go quickly!" She ordered, and they began to run through the dark forest that had not yet been reached by the flames.

"Where are you..." She murmured, sneaking through the debris and ruins of the houses. It was a simple village in the countryside, a town near the capital, but nothing too large. A low-trade city, as it was close to the largest supernatural commercial center in the world.

The capital of this province was only two hours away by horse to the north. She calculated that reinforcements would take too long to arrive. She ran through the burning houses in search of the little Eva, but to no avail.

She stumbled slightly, hurting her ankles and arms. When she got up, she saw two knights die before her eyes.

"R-run away," one of them said in his last breaths, leaving the girl terrified.

"Oh? A pretty girl," the man in black said, his creepy smile sending shivers down the girl's spine.

She was just an ordinary girl.

"Get her, she has potential," the man said, and two servants appeared, grabbing the girl's arms.

"LET GO OF ME!" She screamed desperately. "LET ME GO NOW!" She struggled, trying to break free from the two men, but soon received a blow to the back of her head and passed out.

"Take her, use the drugs to make her docile. She has potential to be a good puppet."

"Yes, sir." They disappeared with the girl.

"We're heading to the next town," he said, and his subordinates began to emerge behind him.
