MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny

Chapter 23 Other Truths

In a dark room a woman sits majestically while sipping tea.

Her black hair looked extremely beautiful when illuminated by the dim light.

"As usual your existence is very thin."

The woman spoke gracefully to someone.

Inside the darkness appeared the figure of a man with a hood.

"I just don't want to cause more trouble."

"Fufu~ the Lucifer family will be very excited if you know that you can infiltrate as easily as entering your own home."

The man sat down and drank.

"So? what brings you here?"

The woman began to speak.

"I originally intended to stop by to talk about one thing but in walking I kept getting something weird."

The woman waited for the man to continue.

"I'm sure you've already felt that."

"What do you mean?"

"A moment ago I felt an aura that looked the same as that person, indeed not that strong and was seen to be mixed with another aura but I'm sure it's a pretty serious situation."

"Hmm~ of course I feel it because it comes from the capital."

"How come? I've checked the location of that person and nothing has changed, we both know that person has no family, friends, and students so how can the aura be here."

The man seemed to be thinking hard.

"I'm the one who sealed it and it doesn't have any sign to take it off."

"Right, I also don't doubt your abilities."

"On my way here I also met a monster that was quite unique, it was a bit stronger than the others and I felt an aura of chaos from it."

After hearing that the woman lowered her tea to the table for the first time.

"You mean the guy got back up?"

The woman asked with a serious face.

"I don't think so, but this is definitely related."

"I think we should move too."

The woman concluded.

"You're right, humans, seven arc angels, and the sign of the appearance of those two people, we have a lot to think about. Speaking of which I met a human who was strange enough to say."

"He can use the unification of light but on the other hand he can also use the element of darkness to strengthen his sword, isn't that strange enough?"

"Have you met him? I also thought that she was Ryu, and that the aura of that person came from her."

"How can a human being have the power of that person..... Even a mere 7th class demon prince would instantly die if it tried to bear its power but a human could control it?"

"Fufu~ is therefore this is very interesting."

I arrived at Lucifer's house the other night because I stopped by several places.

The wyvern's body was taken to the Lucifer family for investigation.

I headed straight to where the Gido party was being treated.

"Click"

I opened the door and entered.

"Heard you were looking for me?"

"I heard from the chairman that you were the one who saved us, thank you."

"No problem."

We all sat down.

"My name is Rex I represent all my friends say thank you."

"I told you it doesn't matter, you're all friends of my lady so I don't feel good just ignoring her."

"Stay, if there's anything you need please don't hesitate to ask for our help."

"Of course, I plan to become an adventurer when I graduate so I'll ask for your help at that time."

"Why not join us then? so you don't have to start over."

"I'm sorry but I was planning on traveling with my friend so I refused."

"So, well since you are strong it must be quite easy to rise to the rank of Mythril."

Rex spoke as if remembering something.

"You better be careful because these days monsters are mutating and more aggressive."

"Lucifer's family was researching the wyvern's corpse so they could definitely get some useful information."

"That would be a big help."

"Well you all rest now."

"Again thanks."

With that I left the room.

I walked down the aisle and passed by the waiter.

The waiter stopped to bow before replying.

"The princess is now in the library to read a book."

"Thank you."

.

.

.

I went to the library and went straight upstairs where we read a lot.

There I looked at Lucy who was sitting while reading a book very seriously, in front of her was a stack of books that seemed to be waiting to be read.

"Arrarghh!! it doesn't exist either!"

And he immediately shouted as he closed the book, he picked up another book and read it straight away.

I approached him.

"You look so busy, what are you reading?"

"It's so annoying you know!? I asked Dad about vampires but he only told me to go to the library if I wanted to know, but there's not a single book here about vampires!"

"Why do you want to learn about vampires?"

"Because you're a vampire, so I feel like if we find out more about your race it'll help you thrive."

"I'm bored too so maybe I'll help."

.

.

.

There is nothing.

We've been reading for a few hours but there's no leads.

the only record of a Vampire is a war against the gods.

What happened before and after is unknown.

A waiter came to our table and gave us tea and snacks.

"I overheard you guys, what were you looking for? I think I can help."

The waiter spoke while looking at the book on the table.

"Dad said that if I wanted to know about vampires I had to go to the library but it's not here."

"Ahh so your highness asked you to come here. Miss misunderstood a little bit about that, your majesty asked you to go to the library instead of reading a book."

"But isn't there just a book?"

"Everything about vampires is forbidden to write because he himself does not want to be left behind in history and many other things."

"So what did you mean to tell me to go to the library.."

"I'm the guardian of this Library so I know everything that's not even written here."

"Looks like you know a lot, please tell me all about vampires."

"I can't tell you everything but at least I'll answer your question."

The waiter sat down and started drinking tea, the aura revolving around him instantly changed.

"Vampire, in this world there's only one person who fits that word or maybe now I can say two people?"

The waiter looked at me with a smile before continuing.

"If all you want to know is about the power of the vampire race, as you might expect the vampire race to have magic called blood magic but even Ba'al never used that magic."

"Because to him it was a curse that made him different from everyone and made him alone, so he refused to acknowledge it and preferred to live as a demon."

"I've heard that vampires can turn other people into vampires too if they suck their blood."

I'm just saying based on my previous knowledge.

"Ohh you know a lot, true vampires can turn other people into vampires as well, even a few times Ba'al tried to turn others into vampires."

"It used to be that one of the 7 demon princes volunteered to become a vampire because as we know that the 7 demon princes were the pinnacle of the demon race but.... The man died immediately after Ba'al sucked his blood."

"A lot of experiments done in the past like trying to drink a drop of Ba'al blood, that person is not dead but that person will be cursed, the curse is different there is a permanently sealed magic, some go crazy, and some turn into very strange creatures."

"This is also the reason why the whole vampire record was deleted, because if this were to spread there would be a lot of people eyeing Ba'al's tomb."

I looked to the side and found Lucy's face turning pale.

"Hey are you okay?"

"Ehh!? I'm okay, please continue."

"Actually the vampire race is not that strong but it's just that Ba'al is not normal, even when he seals his blood magic he is still one of the strongest creatures in this world."

"You may already know that the 7 demon princes have their own characteristics and Ba'al also has its own characteristics, namely darkness swallowing everything, that power came about because of his loneliness from the time he was born so he was always greedy and excessive in everything, even in the past he had intended to swallow the world to eliminate his loneliness in a way that fused with everyone."

"Maybe there's enough I can talk about, you'll know more later. And my last suggestion is that you should practice how to use blood magic as well because that power will really help you."

"I'm sure you already know who you really are after hearing my story, right?"

With that the person left and his aura returned to normal like an ordinary servant.

We both fell silent.

"What if we go back? I'm so tired."

"You're right about me too."

We both returned to our rooms tired.
