The Fallen Vampire

Chapter 213: Stepping Into The Light

- 2 Months Later...

"Their movements have stagnated considerably over the course of the last four to five weeks.

Our last incident was against the forces of the Hero of Quaking Earth and it was just a small detachment. Around seventy-five men I believe. Likely an unsanctioned effort."

"Don't give me reports lined solely with what you believe, Kyoen. I need accurate information, or none at all."

"Yes, master. I apologize."

"Continue."

"We captured half, killed the rest. We're holding them for now just incase we need..."

Taira listened to Kyoen's report in full with a simple uninterested look on his face. But one would have to be a fool to think that he wasn't listening to every word said with perfect focus.

After five more minutes of deliberation, Taira suddenly stirred from his blank state and held up his hand.

"That's enough. We'll finish this later."

"Yes, master. I await your summons."

The scroll floating in front of Taira's face began to wrap itself back up before it fell into his palm.

At the very moment that he cut the connection, Enyo passed through the wall and positioned herself above his head.

"You know, between you and Ina crawling around on the ceiling, I'm beginning to wonder if you've had some gripe about walking normally that you haven't told us."

Enyo smiled mischievously as she descended down into Taira's lap.

"If it's the best way to get your attention, then I'll do handstands up there if I have to. You've been a bit distant lately, you know?"

"Have I...? I hadn't realized." Taira admitted- his guilt evident.

Enyo smiled sadly at her husband- deciding to let him off the hook just this once.

Taira wasn't intentionally neglectful, his mind had just been a fair bit preoccupied with sect business over the last two weeks.

But today, they would hopefully be significantly less busy and have a chance to return to normalcy.

"I'll forgive you just this once.. Just stay still for a moment."

Enyo draped her body over Taira's and hugged him rather warmly with no ulterior motives.

She rested her head directly on his shoulder like a doll. Her only focus was lightly sniffing the hair that was dangling just out of reach.

Taira could tell that Enyo was only a couple of more moments from going to sleep.

Enyo rode out her orgasm in full while holding Taira's hand for dear life to make sure that he didn't move it again.

When their lips finally separated, he turned to Vermeil with a satisfied look on his face that was immensely seductive.

"Have you come to join us..?"

Vermeil smirked as she removed Taira's hand from Enyo's insides; forcing her to moan softly.

"I think Aveena is ready for the two of you to make the announcement now... But let me clean this up first."

Aira watched Vermeil seductively lick all of the liquid off his fingers without breaking eye-contact.

"...I am really going to enjoy going on vacation with you."

-

Aveena was currently staring at the bodies of her entire sect. They were bruised, battered, broken, and derived of every drop of sweat they could produce.

Training in the Divine Black Myth Cult is usually rather arduous death-defying experience to say the very least.

But for the past three weeks, Aveena and Taira had been training the cult like they were actually trying to kill them, or get them to kill themselves.

It was as if they had at some point decided that they didn't actually like their cult members that much and wanted to start over.

"I've a surprise for you all..." Aveena suddenly said.

The cultists used the last bit of strength in their bodies and looked up at Aveena.

"I'm sure you're aware that training has been more difficult for you as of late, and with shorter breaks. I assure you that there is a reason for that."

The cultists listened with baited breath as Aveena said words that they absolutely never would have expected.

"Starting today, you all get to enjoy an extended break from training."

The sound of jaws falling open in unison was a reminder for Aveena of the kind of image she had in the mind of her followers.

"For the next week, our sect will be going on a little vacation. There is a summit being held by all of the other sects in this world, and we have been invited to participate."

Reactions to this news were outright tears of joy, adamant disbelief, and others looked like they were about to start composing ballads and musicals in Aveena's name.

"My Dai-Shi, may I ask what the purpose is of us going on this vacation..?" Shakti asked weakly.

Aveena smiled. She was still having too much fun keeping the secret.

"Patience, my bane. All will be revealed in time. But for now, you all need to change, pack, and meet me back here in an hour. We're leaving today."

The excitement in the room was already about to reach a fever pitch, but now it seemed like they were all about to explode.
