Chapter 30 - Absolute Slaughter

"HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA! FOOD! SO HUNGRY!" I could hear briar screaming out as she began to tear her way through the Beastmen army.

Shalltear laughed evilly before her face changed into her true vampire form which was like a Lamprey as she extended her claws and joined Briar.

Sera's however kept her calm as shadows began to creep out from under her which reformed into many mouths that would launch forward and chomp down on any Beastmen that got in her way while ripping them apart in the process.

They tried to fight back but with how weak they were it was on the level of a baby barely being able to crawl smacking the shin of an armored knight with their hands, it was useless.

So the three of them torn on through by their claws, and the fear began to sink in leading to a massive retreat.

However there speed compared to those three wasn't even close as one Beastman after another was being cut down, however Briar was slowing down to completely consume them entirely, not even leaving the bones behind with her consiumption.

Shalltear and Seras however were different, while Shalltear did drink some of the blood from each one she killed before moving onto the next as there blood stained her face and her dress as well.

Seras was methodical with her approach having her strikes aim for the heart or brain to kill them quickly and effectively.

I however just watched them get to work killing everyone that got in there way as we pushed up towards the first city in their way.

The defenses were well fortified as these city's were made to be fortresses in the first place, however as I had no intention to slowly kill everyone inside with the three of them I summoned up my own Soul Eater steed that billowed out black smoke from its undead horse body.

I slit my palm open which using Hemomancy became a bow within my hands, this was my weakest weapon I could use, my own blood but to the people of this world its as deadly as a A10 Warthog.

I pulled back the bow string of blood which formed a blood arrow in my hand as I took aim to the sky.

"[Weak Point Detection] [Life Detection] [Marked for Death] [True Shot] [Multiply Arrows] [Bombardment]" I said activating multiple archer/ranger skills of my own as the power grew in my bow.

After all the skills were activated I let it loose before the shot pierced the clouds above and have you ever seen that scene from the movie 300?

Soon enough a downpour of arrows fell from the sky, with two for each Beastman aiming directly for the brain and heart of each any every single one of them.

Most didn't have enough time to react before they were killed, some raised their shields to protect themselves, but my blood arrows were to strong for them and smashed through their shields killing them all in the process.

It was a full on slaughter leaving none alive as a rode my soul eater forward over the carnage as it slowly ate the souls of the Beastmen that were killed by us.

"Awww Master I was just having fun! Now you went and killed all of them before me…." Briar said while currently holding a ripped off arm in her hand that she was chewing on.

I just rubbed her head, "Now now Briar, the fun has only just begun, besides this city is needed to show those humans our sincerity in doing our job of rooting out these monsterous beasts who bring fear to their hearts." I say to her as I stepped off my Soul Eater and raised my hand.

"[Bloody Exsanguination]" I called out to which every dead body began to dry up as all the blood flowing from their bodies flowed towards me until the river of blood reached me as I consumed it all leaving nothing but the skeletons of all the dead around us.

Briar looked disappointed but then I had an idea as I looked at all three of them, "Tell you what, let's have a bit of a competition for this war of ours." I say as I snap my fingers and three metal bracelets appeared in my hands.

"These here are known as 'Kill Counters' they keep track of every life you take after putting them on, whoever has the most amount of kills at the end of this war will get to ask me to do anything you guys want that I will grant your wish, with the exception of Marriage as that shouldn't be something that you win in a competition as we are more civilized than that, but besides that you can ask me anything you want and I shall grant it." I say to them.

Hearing this figurative and literal lightning began to spark between Seras and Shalltears eyes, though in Briars mind she was imaging a never ending buffet for herself and all the pokemon she started to become friends with as her wish making her drool.

"But there is a few rules, rule number 1 is that you can't have summons go out and do the kills for you, rule 2 is no massive destruction type attacks, if it's an attack that causes serious damage to the terrain then those kills won't count on the tracker, and the final rule is that you can't fight amongst each other, while you are all competing against each other sabotaging each other just to win is detrimental to the mission I set before all of you, got it?" I say looking at all of them.

"Yes Lord Orion, I shall complete this task with ease so I can win this competition." Shalltear says confidently, though in the background sends her crystal flying in the distance and activating her [Certain Death] Skill while the others weren't watching.

"That's funny, you think you can actually beat me when it comes to killing people, maybe you should train up for a few hundred years and we will see if you have the qualifications to say that." Seras says back to her.

The lightning in their eyes and the aura coming off them reminded me of the conflict between Shalltear and Albedo.

"WHEEEEEEEeeeeeeeee..." Suddenly Briar in the middle of their conflict they looked back to see Briar flying off in the distance as her [Certain Death] hit a new target making her fly away.

"Well you girls better catch up, Briar is gonna take the lead before the two of you." I say to them, hearing and seeing Briar Fly off they both instantly began to float into the air.

"Stay out of my way you leech!" (Seras)

"Bring it on you hag!"(Shalltear)

They both shout and argue with each other as they fly off into the distance as I shake my head, "I almost feel bad for those Beastmen, well almost…." I say as I turn to another direction before sinking into the shadows.

My next stop was the Silent City and the Place where I would set up my seat of power, Castlevania will soon appear in this world and will be a bastion for all those who lurk within darkness.
