“I will have to simply be more aggressive with my approach… And be more cautious. But the plans cannot stop just because of her. I will not stop them… My goals are beyond what these mere mortals could even comprehend. And this woman, this ghost… despite having attained a level of power and existence that even I envy, I won’t let her do as she pleases if she dares mess around with my properties once more….”
The Vampire looked into the moonlight from within the glass window as the cold breeze bathed his face. It was a beautiful night, and it made him feel somewhat nostalgic for the past of all the years he had lived since ancient times and of all the struggles he had to go through to reach this far.
He began to think about Catarina, Silvio, and Francesco, these three children he had converted into Vampires on a whim when he found them in the ruins of a fire, barely having survived and completely covered in blazing burning wounds.
They were certainly strong and admirable children back then, capable of surviving the blazing flare of hell itself… something had given him an idea back then, and he ended up giving them his blood, which ended up becoming the elixir that satiated their pain and thirst.
After that, their bodies quickly regenerated back to normal, and when they opened their bodies, the sunlight bathed their nude bodies, but there was no damage dealt to them.
Vampires were powerful but had clear weaknesses. One of the most annoying of them was their weakness in sunlight, which would quickly begin burning their entire bodies. This is why they always moved at night… unless they were to be these special Vampires.
They ended up being way more useful than he thought. Vampires that developed resistance to light, fire, and sunlight and ended up becoming useful as agents that could be sent at day and could even camouflage with normal people too.
Due to this, these units became valuable to him, and he had raised them to the strength they had currently by investing in them because he knew they were valuable enough for it.
If they could grow to the level of powerful threats, they could directly intervene in many things in daylight, and Vampires would no longer become unable to participate in many things in the sun…
He looked at the window and gritted his teeth.
‘All that time wasted with them for nothing. Damn useless kids, I should have crushed their heads when they were still kids instead of giving them a second chance… now all those resources and money I wasted on their growth… Where will I get all of that back? Tch!’ thought the man.
However, it wasn’t as if only Catarina and her two lackeys died, but also the priests that had been sent there to fight against the ghost woman. The church had better detectives than his own men, and they had already figured the assassin that took down the Duke of Affnaria might go after another duke. They connected the clues incredibly well, used special magic, and figured out the ghost’s identity was Maria after they saw what happened to her grave and more…
They sent Elderlight, a powerful Battle Pope, to protect the Duke of Benettina. Although he had given her a very hard time, she ended up ultimately defeating him with the power of her allies at her side, which were also helping her. Of course, the church only knows she’s powerful, though not exactly how powerful her allies at her side were. Even less an Elf with the power of Light and Nature with her.
After that, the incident about her escaping from the Duchy where several hundreds of soldiers that chased her down all became Undead Zombies was widely spread around the entire Kingdom and then the neighboring Nations, especially of that image she had shown to the masses where she committed vengeance against the aristocrats that had done all the horrendous things to her family. The horrid “video” where she showed the aristocrat getting violated by zombies was one of the most disgusting things people had seen in their entire lives. It further cemented her fame as an insane agent of evil and all of what was wrong in this world.
However, she had not only done this but also leaked valuable information that these aristocrats held. Alongside the truth about what they were doing to their slaves, images and documents that described what the aristocrats did to slaves became widespread, making the population of commoners know how slaves were being treated to an even more rooted level.
Since then that the Duchy of Benettina had not been the same, and the surrounding duchies all began to change as well, alongside the entire Kingdom and perhaps all neighboring nations.
The figure of the Ghost Witch of Misfortune became a fearful and dreadful omen to many aristocrats and people of high society. In contrast, for commoners fighting against the system, discrimination, and the society they were living in, she was seen as a praised figure and seen even as the one that would finally make all these aristocratic pigs pay for all the sins they had committed.
In a way, she had become something like Ghost Rider from Marvel comics, an anti-hero that punished the sinful and made them suffer for all their sins a hundredfold.
And because they all knew already that she was the Witch of Misfortune, the one whose family had mysteriously died all at once and whose Fragment of Evil which they were guarding had suddenly mysteriously disappeared as well. They knew she was going to take revenge on all those that orchestrated her death and her family’s death…
Of course, the entire show ended up bringing a lot of attention. The Church within the Albraun Kingdom had become even more aware of her as a threat, probably protecting most of the dukes from each duchy, knowing they might be related to her death one way or another…
