Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 359 - 254 Blood Thirst and Satisfaction (4.6K)

Blood.

It is blood.

His blood!

It is his blood!!!

Upon realizing what made her so hungry, Eliza’s entire body started to tremble.

Her scarlet eyes, shimmering with a dangerous light, suddenly closed at that moment, her nostrils flared slightly as she took a deep breath.

Inhale—Exhale—

"Hiss... Ha!"

Herbert’s warm blood radiated an irresistible fatal temptation.

The scent seemed almost alive as it threaded into her nostrils and coursed through her body along her veins.

The vampire’s body began to tremble slightly, her sanity like a rocking boat in a storm, at any moment could be consumed by the surging desire.

That aroma was like the most potent poison and yet the sweetest temptation.

Eliza was on the verge of collapsing.

Being pulled into the abyss by this suffocating scent, losing her remaining reason entirely.

In the final moment of mental breakdown, she used her last willpower to smash her head against the coffin lid.

Thud—

The violent pain exploded atop her head, providing a moment of clarity to her chaotic mind.

Gulp!

She forcefully swallowed her saliva, letting it slide through her parched throat, attempting to lessen her craving in this way.

But doing so was useless, instead making her even more insatiably hungry.

"Ah, ah..."

I want it.

I want, his blood...

Give it to me!

Give it to me!!!

Under long-term hunger and intense stimuli, Eliza almost entirely lost her sanity, on the brink of becoming a crazed monster that only knew how to suck blood.

[Thirst for Blood Syndrome]

A common condition appearing in weak vampires and their subordinate species.

When the symptoms erupt, the patient’s body will involuntarily shake, their eyes turning scarlet, growing brighter with the degree of thirst.

Eventually, their pupils will flicker as if burning flames deep within their eyes.

Their gums become extremely sensitive and swollen, teeth ache, and in the process become sharp and elongated.

During this stage, concentration becomes difficult, emotions grow restless and irritable, losing patience with surrounding situations and experiencing intense loneliness.

They no longer act cautiously, ignoring dangerous environments around them, perhaps forcefully breaking into the habitats of humans or attacking creatures stronger than themselves.

Their attack methods grow more savage, lacking skill, although their potential strength slightly increases, they also become easier targets.

In truth, vampires are actually quite cautious as a species.

They hide in the shadows, disguise as nobles, constantly observing the outside world, fleeing at the slightest disturbance.

Unless necessary, they would not drain a prey’s blood in one go.

They rather prefer taking small amounts multiple times, even raising prey to provide them with a steady supply of blood.

Vampires, to avoid massive hunts against them, conduct their bloodsucking activities very moderately, even calling this approach—elegant.

But under the condition of Thirst for Blood Syndrome, they lose this composure.

Patients become greedily obsessed with blood, never satisfied with small amounts, draining every prey they can hunt completely dry until it becomes a corpse.

When "Thirst for Blood Syndrome" erupts, the disguise of old is exposed in that moment.

And such a change is extremely dangerous and deadly to low-level vampires and bloodlines with weak strength.

This dreadful "thirst for blood" state continues until their desire is fully satisfied and only then will it stop.

Most times when they regain clarity, it’s already too late.

This irrational hunting behavior raises alarms in other races.

If unfortunately they erupt near other races’ settlements, haha... it’s catastrophic.

That inevitably leads to widespread panic, eventually bringing about the iron fist of organizations such as "Vampire Hunter", "Demon Hunter", "Exorcism Order", "Holy Knight Order".

And for curing, or rather, avoiding falling into such a state, there actually is a way.

And it’s very simple.

As long as they ingest a certain amount of fresh blood regularly, not staying in a state of prolonged hunger, vampires won’t enter the "thirst for blood" state.

If they drink enough, the thirst will disappear... very reasonable.

As to why Eliza entered the state of Thirst for Blood Syndrome, it’s actually easy to explain.

Eliza was always on the brink of entering thirst for blood, for this she remained in slumber for years to avoid a mental breakdown when awake.

Although she had ingested quite a lot of Holy Blood provided by Herbert in these recent months, it was only temporary relief.

Compared to the deeply rooted hunger accumulated over the years, it was merely a drop in the bucket.

Fulfilling her bottomless desire requires long-term nurturing.

And before that...

Eliza would completely transform into an unconscious blood-thirsty beast and wouldn’t wake until absorbing enough fresh blood. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

No...

"No! Cough cough!"

In the moment of impending mental collapse, Eliza again banged her head against the coffin lid.

Thud!

Thud thud thud!

No.

I don’t want to become a monster!

"No! No! No! Ahhhhh!"

Even though Eliza had lost her human identity many years ago, becoming a blood-sucking monster surviving solely by taking others’ fresh blood.
