There were a lot of questions in his mind, but the priority remained. They needed to deal with this terrorist in one way or another.
"Gaelion." Gaelion hopped on top of Rhys's head to get a better view. "22 people, only 10 of them are humans." "You can speak?" Riva was startled for a second before shaking her head. "That doesn't matter. Can you identify them? Find all the humans!" Gaelion smirked and inhaled as much air as possible and held it on his belly. After that, he let out a cute roar befitting his current form. "Waaf!" Despite such a cute roar, Riva's felt an intense killing intent that made her feel like she was just a prey before him. "Those who don't stop are humans!" "!!!" Riva snapped back, realizing that precisely ten people continued moving as if they were completely unaffected by it. With a wave of her hand, a strong gale flowed toward four terrorists: two humans and two familiars. The two familiars were clasping their hands. The left side formed a wall made of rock, while the other one created a curtain of water. The rock managed to block the gale completely, but the water curtain got pushed back, albeit didn't completely crumble. However, this was just a distraction. A bow appeared out of thin air as she aimed at the human that these two familiars protected. The moment she released her arrow, it flew so fast that it created a small shock wave behind it. The arrow pierced through the curtain of water and disintegrated the human's head. As if realizing her power, two other familiars halted their steps. A firebird flew off the hand of one of them. Meanwhile, the other familiar rushed with an axe. Riva clapped her hand as a burst of wind expanded in all directions, neutralizing the firebird. However, the muscular familiar closed the gap between them and swung his big axe. She extended her hand to the axe, forming a swirling wind that the axe couldn't cut. "!!!" The muscular familiar was shocked, never expecting that there would be such a strong familiar right at the front gate. However, there were still several people around the main gate. "Kyaaa!" "Help!" Two students screamed from the right side, which slightly distracted her. She had to save them, but at the same time, she had to protect Rhys. The situation went from bad to worse the moment she sensed a clash on the opposite side. "Blood Spear." 'That's the girl from the Ashton family.' Riva bit her lips. She waved her other hand, trying to hit the muscular familiar with her bow, but to no avail. The muscular familiar blocked it with its big arm, stopping her completely. Meanwhile, Maeve was getting attacked by a familiar. She had summoned her own familiar, who happened to be a woman with bat wings on her back. Three spears made of blood floated around her as she shot them one by one to stop the familiar charge. This unknown familiar was as big as the one that attacked Riva, but there was a pair of bull horns on top of its head, which couldn't be completely covered. The blood spears hit the charging familiar as the latter smashed it one by one, gradually closing the gap between them. The vampire's eyes turned bloodshot as it waved both hands at the same time. All of a sudden, a tornado appeared on each hand, pinching the familiar from two sides. The familiar actually caught the blood tornadoes with its bare hands. "!!!" The vampire tried to apply more pressure, but the enemy was the one gaining an upper hand. At the same time, there was a man's voice echoing from behind them. "Got you, little girl!" The vampire was distracted by that voice since it must be the enemy. Now that she lost control over her tornadoes, the enemy familiar ripped apart the blood tornadoes. "Moo!" The familiar charged at full speed. At the same time, the enemy human grabbed SelMana from behind. "Let go of me!" Maeve struggled as she was being dragged away. "Maeve!" The vampire turned around, only to find Rhys coming from the side and punching the guy in the face. On the opposite side, Gaelion had pounced on the familiar and bit the back of the familiar's neck before tearing it with his sharp teeth. The blood spurted off from the back of its neck as the familiar fell down. The vampire wanted to take down the human, but Rhys pointed his finger at the muscular familiar that kept Riva in check. "Help her!" The vampire hesitated for a second, but Rhys looked at her with a sincere gaze as if telling her that Maeve would be fine. The vampire noticed that both the man and the familiar didn't manage to react to their attacks as if everything went according to their plan. It was as if these two were waiting for the right time where the enemies didn't suspect an attack to take them down. The vampire chose to trust Rhys this time and turned around, pointing her palm at the muscular familiar. Multiple bats made of blood emerged from her palm and flew toward the muscular familiar. They bit the muscular familiar, which caused him to get distracted a little bit. Seeing the gap in his defense, Riva spun her body and sent a back kick on the familiar's stomach. The wind burst out the moment of impact, pushing the familiar back. With such a distance, Riva turned around and aimed her arrow at whatever the enemy left around Rhys, only to find him pointing his finger at the girls that were about to be kidnapped by the terrorists. Riva hurriedly turned around and shot one of the terrorists. When she was about to take down the second one, the muscular familiar approached her again. This time, she didn't fight alone. Two blood tornadoes flew toward the muscular familiar. It didn't push him back like Riva's kick, but it forced the familiar to halt and block them. As a result, Riva managed to shoot the second terrorist, saving the two girls. After that, she formed an arrow with more Mana than the previous shots, aiming it at the muscular familiar. Out of desperation, the muscular familiar pushed its axe to the very limit, breaking free from the blood tornadoes. After that, he slashed downwards to chop the arrow that came straight to his head. To his surprise, the arrow actually curved as if avoiding the axe. It then returned to its original trajectory and obliterated the head. Even though she had neutralized the immediate threat, Riva immediately turned around and saw the human terrorist trying to beat Rhys from behind. The vampire was taken aback, wanting to help but too late. Maeve didn't even realize what was currently happening. There was Mana gathered in that fist, so Rhys would definitely be heavily injured if that fist hit him. Yet Rhys just smiled. "You are a clever brat… if you are normal." Gaelion's voice echoed as he leaped into the air and snapped the human's neck with his powerful jaws.Latest Chapter

“There are only 346,120 books,” Charlotte answered.Rhys stared at the endless shelves stretching across the enormous library and then looked back at her.“And you’ve read all of them?”Charlotte gave him a flat look.“Of course not. Even with two hundred years, it would be difficult to read every single book here by myself. That’s especially true when new knowledge keeps appearing and older information constantly needs updating. I’ve only read around half of them.”Rhys let out a low whistle.“Almost a thousand books a year. That’s still insane, you know.”He shook his head in disbelief.“Then do you at least know the contents of all the books here?”“What do you think?” Charlotte sighed. “I don’t possess a photographic memory. Even if I could memorize every page, some information would inevitably be lost when I’m eventually integrated back into my original self.”She paused before adding,“That said, I understand the general contents of most books. If I need something specific, I si

‘Risa becoming a vampire progenitor?’Rhys stared at Charlotte in disbelief.The idea sounded absurd at first, but the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.If his blood truly possessed the ability to create a vampire progenitor, then it wasn’t just some unusual trait. It was something capable of changing the balance of power across the entire world.People would go insane for something like that.The first thing powerful organizations would think about was not friendship or cooperation. They would think about ownership.Kidnap him.Lock him up.Drain his blood.Use it to raise an army of vampire progenitors.If Charlotte’s theory was correct, countless Beast Tamers would start summoning vampires simply because the reward was too tempting. There would be a guaranteed path toward creating one of the strongest vampire existences imaginable.From a business perspective, it was ridiculous.He could probably sell a single vial of blood for a fortune.Kings would pay for

“Why did a vampire evolve from sucking my blood?”The moment Rhys asked the question, Charlotte answered almost immediately, as though she were reciting knowledge from a book she had studied countless times.“There are multiple reasons. First of all, do you know what the vampire sucks?”“Blood.”“Then what does blood contain?”“Hmm? Red blood cells, white blood cells, or something like that?” Rhys tilted his head. “I don’t know a lot about biology.”Charlotte shook her head.“Your blood is influenced by your Mana and your soul. If you are a being from another world, that influence changes your blood as well. And because you possess a unique Mana capable of summoning beasts, we already know your blood differs from that of ordinary people.”Rhys frowned.“That’s weird.”He spent a moment thinking before continuing.“If that’s the case, why did the person who first discovered Mana in my body say I possessed a tremendous amount of it? When I summoned my first familiar, I only had sixty Ma

Questions kept piling up in Rhys’s mind.The more he thought about it, the more unsettling everything became.How exactly had he arrived in this world?Charlotte’s words had opened a door he had never seriously considered before. Once she started questioning the existence of familiars, countless other questions followed.What had really happened to Gealion, Nidhogg, and Anubis in their original legends?Why were they here?If beings who had already died in their own stories could be summoned, then what did death even mean in the first place?Rhys lowered his gaze.‘Should I accept this deal?’The thought refused to leave him.‘Even the Fairy Queen doesn’t seem to know why I ended up here. If that’s the case, having someone obsessed with uncovering the truth might actually help me. At the very least, she’ll uncover information that I can’t find on my own.’His eyes narrowed.‘And this isn’t just anyone. This is the Fairy Queen. One of the greatest familiars this world has ever known.’

Rhys quickly turned around.“No, that’s not what I’m talking about. Do you even know what a relationship is supposed to be built on? It’s love.”Charlotte looked completely unconvinced.“You possess a quality I’ve never encountered before,” she said calmly. “Someone like you is destined to climb higher and higher. Whether you want it or not, power attracts politics.”She folded her arms.“And once you reach the top, your life won’t resemble the one you’re living now. You may even be forced into marriage simply because survival demands it.”Rhys narrowed his eyes.“You sound like someone who has already given up.”For a brief moment, Charlotte’s expression changed.Then it vanished.She ignored the remark entirely.“Regardless, you proposed. So take responsibility for your words.”“Those are completely different things.”“Are they?”Her gaze sharpened.“For someone who came from another world, I don’t think they’re different at all.”Rhys felt his heart skip a beat.Outwardly, he maint

“How are you able to possess memories like these?”Rhys went completely still.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then he folded his arms and forced a calm expression onto his face.“Do you honestly think I’m going to tell you?”Charlotte laughed softly.The sound somehow made Rhys even more nervous.“Why are you acting as though refusing is an option?”She leaned back in her chair.“If I truly wanted that information, there are countless ways I could obtain it.”Her smile widened slightly.“I am simply being polite by asking first.”Rhys swallowed.After everything that had happened over the last few minutes, he no longer doubted her.She had dragged him into an illusion without warning.She had reconstructed pieces of his memories.She had exposed details about him that nobody in this world should know.If she claimed she had a method of digging information out of his head, there was a good chance she was telling the truth.And that terrified him.Charlotte studied his face for a
