Chapter 42 - Night's end

A few moments ago, before Tristan had woken up Finn casually stretched his limbs as he had awoken from his peaceful rest. He felt a little dizzy since he had just woken up, so he decided to look around the area.

Where did everybody go?

Is the fight over 

I forgot we were battling against those guys when that Griffin showed up. Finn thought as a wave of realisation washed over him, he looked around and noticed no one else except himself and the unconscious Smoke that lay on the ground like a stiff log.

"Well, guess I can leave now—"

[Warning!]

[vampire awaking in 2 seconds!]

[Vampire is also a blessing bearer]

[potential killing intent of the newly awakened vampire is up to 80%]

The sound of a system echoed in Finn's head as the system screen appeared right in front of him. He looked at the screen with a rising sense of discomfort.

[new task: subjugate the vampire!] the system echoed as it gave Finn its new mission.

"You must have seen your new orders !" Mark said as he stood by Finn's left side, his robe was still on, disrupting the full view of his face. Even though he looked suspicious, he and Finn knew each other well enough that much was obviously clear.

"What did you do this time, Mark? You're creating more work for me!" Finn said in a pissed tone.

"Don't worry, Finn, your favourite senpai is always here to cheer you on, so do your best!" Rose said in a cute, encouraging voice as she made a cute pose, cheering Finn on.

"You guys are a hassle, you know that," Finn said as he picked up his regular sword and got ready to go, but before he did, Mark pulled him back.

"Not so fast, going in like that will only make things harder than it needs to be. We need you to take care of this guy quickly, so I suggest you use Excalibur, so you can wrap this up!" Mark said, but Finn shrugged Mark's hand off and then glared at him with dead, cold, serious eyes.

"Is that an order?" Finn asked as he tightened the grip on his sword's hilt, Mark and Lucy felt a huge sense of murderous dark blue aura that was also different from his sapphire as well.

"It's….just an advice," Mark said as he gulped, swallowing down his fear. The murderous aura that surrounded it dissipated till it was reduced to nothing.

He leaped up in the air in one fluid motion, and he was now on the surface.

A bright silver light illuminated the area where Finn hid under some rubble to protect himself from what catastrophe was about to happen next.

*BOOM!* The explosion erupted with destruction in its wake, reducing most of the buildings to the ground. Luckily, Galaxy and the others had evacuated all the civilians in the area.

"Bring forth Excalibur…" Finn whispered as a golden sword appeared right in front of him, and as he grabbed the sword, a system message popped up.

[Time left until side effects of "Excalibur" take place.]

[2:00]

And as the counter began, Finn took one step, and he had already appeared in front of Tristan, who was over at where the explosion took place. He had, when he arrived, he saw Tristan aiming for Malachi's neck and used half a second to cut Tristan's arm off.

Malachi was confused and shocked as he saw the hand that was about to threaten his life on the ground.

"Huff!…. what a hassle!" Finn said as he turned around and looked at Tristan with an exasperated expression.

Finn stared at Tristan as if not recognising him, but could anyone blame him? Tristan's hair was now longer than it should be, and his eyes were glowing a bright crimson red.

"System run an analysis on the vampire in front of me," Finn asked. He felt extremely uneasy.

[Error!]

[Failed to retrieve such information.]

[Current information available would you like to hear?] the system asked as Finn's uneasiness grew even more.

"Y-Yes," Finn stuttered as he suddenly got a bad feeling.

[name of awakened vampire: Tristan ????] the system said as it glitched the last part.

In that in stant tristans hands were on Finn's face and had then proceeded to smash his face into the ground. 

Finn was in a storm of confusion and disbelief. He was clearly taking this fight lightly.

I'm using Excalibur, and it's still not enough

Is he this strong after awakening?

I might have to get serious for a little while. Finn thought as he tightened the grip of his sword, making a stern expression.

"That won't work." A feminine voice said as it echoed behind Finn.

Finn turned to see a beautiful lady who had long blue hair and beautiful sapphire eyes.

"Wh-who are you?" Finn asked as she stared at her, walking past him and moving towards Tristan.

"You don't need to worry, I'm just going to my new crush," she said as she stood in front of Tristan. Finn was confused as too what was about to happen so he dashed towards her in order not find out, but it was to late Tristan hade already gotten to her first; he stared down at her as if he was sizing up his prey, but the lady didn't even flinch or shake in stead she had a strong feeling of infatuation and desire for what Tristan was about to do.

She pulled her coat's collar down so Tristan could see her ripe, fresh, and tantalizing vein.

Without warning, he sank his fangs into her skin, biting down on her neck as blood trickled from his lips. After a while had passed, he continued drinking, so the lady pulled out a syringe that had a strong concoction of sleeping serum and then injected it into Tristan.

In a matter of seconds, the silver aura that surrounded Tristan had vanished, and he fell to the ground and lay unconscious.

"There, that should calm him down!

Finn stared warily as he glared at her from behind; she turned around and looked at him with a grin.

"Hi, you can call me Yuri!" She said, her tone turning dark.
