Angela watched everything from kilometers away with her eyes glowing violet, seeing perfectly in the distance as vampires walked toward the reverse city of Sanos.
"So this is the dimension of vampires, it makes me wonder what the others are like."
The vampires weren't the only ones to have another dimension as their home. The Elves and Dragons also had their own, and it was always difficult to enter them without permission.
"So you came here because you wanted to make an alliance to gain strength… tell me, Enrico, how would you make these bloodsuckers accept such a deal?"
"In exchange for blood and important information…"
Looking at Enrico, she couldn't believe that offering blood was one of the methods, since they could simply kill humans to get it. So the only way they could be convinced was through the information he had to offer.
"Could you tell me this information?"
"Sorry, but I'd rather speak to them first… not because I don't trust you, but because it's the best way."
She turned her gaze back to watch the surroundings. It was already night and the three girls slept leaning against the trees. Enrico was trying to convince her to form an alliance with the vampires before going back, saying it was a good moment.
"You can relax, Lady Angela. Besides this information, the blood I have can offer them a lot."
"You seem quite confident. I know they can evolve depending on the type of blood they drink, but if it's really that incredible, tell me, where does it come from?"
"From myself."
She grabbed Enrico's shoulders in disbelief, because if this blood was truly that amazing, they wouldn't leave him alone, and she was immediately about to refuse.
"Young master—"
"I won't reveal that this blood is mine."
His plan was to enter as a newly created vampire, and since vampire skin grows paler with time, he could go unnoticed by everyone, pretending to serve a powerful vampire.
'This plan is good, I really understand why Lady Virelle wants him so badly as a rival.'
She wasn't surprised by his intelligence, since she had accompanied him on many solo missions and even learned to worry about him, which was a huge difference from the beginning. At first, when she saw certain changes in him, her first thought was that he might be a demon, and she was already preparing to kill him.
"So that's why you changed back then…"
"Yes, we can say that was the day I turned back time."
Sitting down, she began to analyze all the moments she noticed differences in him, even that moment when he fought Kai for the first time as if he already knew him.
"So you lost to Kai before?"
"Lost? Pff… we can say I was humiliated."
She began to laugh at his words, so that fight must have been nothing but returning humiliation. She thought Enrico was a prodigy, but Virelle made her see him differently. The only time Virelle was confused was the day Enrico evolved twice during the fight against Danyana. On that day, she saw doubt and confusion in Virelle's eyes.
"But tell me, how did you evolve twice in the same fight?"
"Because I'm a prodigy."
Seeing his neutral face, she realized he didn't want to talk. It must be some important future secret, so she decided not to press. She was already thinking of revealing it to Virelle and the king anyway, so it was better to leave it alone.
"Back to the plan—are you sure you can make an alliance with them?"
Surprised by her sincere smile, he realized that depending on his answer, she would approve of his plan. So, without a hint of doubt, he looked at her seriously.
"They won't just make an alliance, they will be bound to me forever."
"Your confidence amazes me… very well, where do we start?"
"First let's wake them up."
He decided to wake the girls to tell the full plan, so he wouldn't have to explain it twice, and to explain literally that he would be a low-level "vampire" who had just begun, with Yumeha.
"What I want now is for you to find a way to hide from the vampires. Since we'll be walking around, at some point the necklace may not conceal you, and your human scent might leak out."
"My Ketsumei, couldn't we try to hide around here?"
"It wouldn't be difficult, but your scents would linger in the air, which could attract vampires to the place. And even with Angela here, it would be hard for you to defend yourselves from several high-level vampires."
They would have to find a way for them to accompany him without resembling humans—or at least hidden in some form.
"And if you take us as your 'food,' would they respect that?"
"That would never work unless I were a vampire stronger than them."
Angela watched the discussion and picked up a white bracelet, channeling violet magic into it. She transferred this magic into the bodies of herself, Rina, and Aoi.
"I have a way to hide us inside here."
She pointed to her bracelet and placed it on Enrico's wrist. With a glow, the three seemed to enter inside the bracelet without leaving a trace. Yumeha looked at the bracelet in shock, thinking something bad might have happened to her sister, even though she didn't admit it.
"Master, what was that?"
"Angela's magic. I had forgotten how strong it was."
He secured the bracelet tightly on his wrist and saw a mark with his name engraved on it, which meant he had become its owner. Whenever it strayed more than two meters from him, it would return to him immediately.
"Yumeha, don't worry. I'll explain on the way. First, put on the mask and let's begin the plan."
"Alright, but won't they feel uncomfortable like that?"
"No, they should be at ease in some nice room."
The two of them put on black masks that covered their entire faces—one with the face of a raven, belonging to Yumeha, and the other a mask with absolutely nothing, only a design at the sides of the eyes. Finally, Enrico turned his eyes red.
