Crimson Servant

"Vivian became a vampire?" Barnes' eyes widened as he looked at the silver-haired beauty standing against the wall of the cave. His expression of disbelief caused three wrinkles to appear on his forehead.

Vivian did not hide herself. She crossed her arms on her chest, turned her blood-red eyes to Barnes, and stared at him straight with an indifferent expression.

The captain shuddered. He remembered what he said to John last night. He made a sound with his upper and lower teeth and turned to the warlock with his head shrinking.

"I swear I never knew she was a vampire before!"

"I believe you," John walked over and patted Barnes on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "It's not just once or twice that you have unintentionally caused me trouble."

"That's not exactly a comforting thing."

"He didn't comfort you at all." Vivian tapped her fingers on her arm impatiently, her eyes looking outside the cave, which was getting brighter. Vampires cannot accept sunlight. She just hopes that the few of them will not encounter the sun when they set off to the next temporary settlement.

Barnes glanced at Vivian, then looked back at John, raising a hand to cover his mouth.

"Will she always be like this?"

John shrugged.

"Maybe you should accept the real Vivian, not the female ranger surrounded by smiles and art."

Barnes spat.

"No, she almost put the weapon to my nose before." The captain felt that Vivian had not changed her essence, she was still her.

"That's great. I think you will be the one who accepts her the fastest."

While Barnes and John were joking, Raven's attention remained around Vivian. He was wary of his former teammate, and his subtle concern did not escape Vivian's perception.

"You don't have to be so wary of me. I'm the one who needs to be wary."

Vivian rubbed her nails, her sharp nails scratching shallow marks on the rock. She didn't lie. The vampire's body did not enhance Vivian's combat power too much. She still felt that she was no match for Raven in a protracted battle.

The warrior relaxed his muscles when he heard Vivian's voice.

"What I'm wary of is not you, but the bite of the Vampires. Vampire fangs can turn people into vampire spawn, and the Vampire's urge to suck blood is a serious addiction, and usually you can't help it."

"Don't worry about this. I'm not interested in you. I've found a stable blood bag."

Vivian and Raven didn't move their eyes, but they both knew who Vivian was talking about. Raven was completely relaxed and even gave Vivian a conservative smile.

"I hope your weapons are as sharp as ever."

"You'll see, I'm more dangerous and deadly than she is."

Raven noticed the special title in the answer, but he didn't say anything. The slave warrior is trying hard to find his mistress. There is a slight problem with the slave mark induction in this world. The pain Raven felt had become so weak that he could not tell the direction, as if his mistress was hidden in the air around him, omnipresent.

The mind flayers must have come to this world and they hid her.

The soldiers have no better way now, they can only follow the team step by step. Raven believed he would find the answer, if only it wasn't too late.

"Speaking of which, John, do you still remember that what I promised you has been completed." Barnes rubbed his hands. The captain initially promised them that he would only lead the Morning Star team through the chaotic sea. Having experienced tracking the Mind Flayer once, Barnes doesn't want to continue facing such a dangerous enemy.

"Do you want to escape at this time? Coward!" The anxious one was Hell Guard Arlington. He blocked the hole with his mighty body and bared his fangs at the captain who wanted to retreat. The devil was deceived by the captain into boarding the ship. Arlington was misled into signing a contract with the dangerous crimson warlock. The reason why he stayed here peacefully was because he saw the partnership between the warlock and the captain.

With the captain to mediate, Warlock and Hellguard can create a safe acquaintance effect. If Barnes, the harmonizing point, was removed from him, Arlington couldn't imagine what this crazy believer of the devil would do to him. His power was too dangerous. And John's thoughts must be the same as his. If you don't understand the power of the devil, you will inevitably be afraid of it, and this usually makes it impossible to coexist peacefully.

John also agreed with the Hell Guard.

"Barnes, indeed, what you promised has been completed. However, we are now in an unfamiliar environment, and acting together is the best way to protect ourselves. Or do you have a premonition of some big trouble?"

Barnes couldn't describe his true thoughts, and he didn't know why he was so eager to leave the team. It was like a voice was urging him to act, which was extremely abnormal.

"Okay, I will stay and watch, but since I don't have the ability to cast spells, you know, I will try my best to cause you as little trouble as possible."

John and others pretended to believe Barnes.

They started packing, and Vivian noticed John's presence while cleaning her backpack. Vivian tied her long flowing hair into a single ponytail to show the difference between herself and the female ranger Vivian. Her movements were crisp and concise, and she only gave John a look.

"I don't get horny that fast, once a day and I don't need to start now."

"I'm not here to discuss the timing of blood sucking with you." John suspected that he had become a walking bag of food in Vivian's eyes, but this bag of food was a bit hot to the mouth. "Shared beliefs are fundamental to maintaining unity."

"I have discussed it with others, and their goal of continuing to act in this world has not changed. But as for you, the other you once said that you have a mission, and we are her compatible partners. Now, Vivian, you whether the goals have changed."

The vampire frowned and said displeasedly: "Does this affect you? You are fully capable of ordering me to fight."

"Weapons also need maintenance. Personal will is more effective than force from others. I prefer that we remain friends rather than a relationship of dominance and submission."

Vivian bit her lips tightly, her blood-red eyes looked dim, and a sense of confusion drained this tough woman dry.

"I don't know, I can't find it anymore."

"The God I believe in has given me a blessing that has enhanced my emotional perception several times, giving me the ability and leisure to explore the beauty in the world and get rid of my identity as a vampire."

"This blessing is the reward of the mission. He guided me in a direction and told me that the end of the direction can free me from my cold body."

"That Vivian felt more than I did. The feelings she conveyed to me were like observing a stranger in a crystal ball."

"I couldn't understand her. After that passion escaped from my body, those strange feelings disappeared from my mind, and I still became the original me."

"A vampire who is afraid of light."

"So, give the order, John."

"Order will make me feel better."
