Rewind System: Vampire Harem In The Apocalypse-46 Chapter 46
"Did you... Really just say that?" Xavier asked with hollow eyes.
[You have stopped consuming the blood of a Low-Ranking Vampire Lord.]

Ignoring the notifications resounding across his head, Xavier leaned in towards Arnold's ear before whispering. "You don't get that option... Raise your guard."
Arnold, shivering in his boots, slowly raised his trembling arms only to widen his eyes as a fist slammed across his face.
*BAM!*
His figure was blown across the air before he slid down the hall on his back.
Watching his bloodied broken nose regenerate, he looked down at it with bloodshot eyes. Then he glanced up at Xavier who was slowly approaching him.
Anyone could see that at that moment, Xavier was furious.
"I'll give you a hint... I can turn back five seconds in my position."

Hearing Xavier's words, a grin grew on Arnold's face. Gradually, he pushed himself up off the ground before smiling while he facepalmed.
"Hahaha... So that's what it was..." Arnold giggled to himself. "You... You really are an idiot, aren't you? Telling me about your ability..."
Arnold inhaled deeply before slowly exhaling. After pushing his legs into the ground and cracking it, he kicked off in the direction of Xavier almost instantly.
If there was one thing Arnold was confident in, it was his speed. As he circled around Xavier repeatedly, his figure quickly blurred.
Xavier, who saw this, continued to walk forward, not looking left or right to watch out for Arnold's attack.
'This humiliation... I'll kill him! I'll rip him to bits!!'
[Electric Manipulation: Electric Shockwave.]
Suddenly, Arnold slammed his feet into the ground, sending an electric shockwave towards Xavier from his front before launching himself at Xavier from his blind spot
[Electric Manipulation: Electric Blade!]
In a flash of blue light, his sword lit up as he swung it down at Xavier.
With two separate attacks coming from two different angles, Arnold forced Xavier to use his ability to avoid rather than just attempting to dodge with his inferior speed.
*SWOOSH!*
Just as Arnold had expected, Xavier used it. Right before his sword or the shockwave connected, Xavier's figure faded.
[Retract: 5 seconds.]
Having taken a step with each passing second, Xavier appeared 5 steps behind Arnold. Xavier was successful in avoiding, but as Arnold turned his head, Xavier noticed the grin on his face.
As Xavier threw his sword at Arnold, something struck his body from the right.
*BZ-BZZZT!!!!*
The electric shockwave that slammed into Xavier's right side widened his eyes. The countless volts of electricity flowing through his muscles stunned him in that spot, causing him to tremble throughout.
While swaying to the side, avoiding Xavier's sword, he could see veins bulging in his arm from all the blood his sword had drawn.
Arnold, not wanting to waste the opportunity, sprang at Xavier from the front, the initial shockwave passing through him and toward Xavier. It had all gone as planned.
While circling him and setting up an attack, he deliberately waited five seconds to calculate where Xavier would [retract] after his initial double attack. Xavier had ended up exactly where he'd predicted, five steps backwards.
Having just reverted, Arnold placed his bet on Xavier not being able to do it again until five seconds had elapsed, making it impossible for him to avoid again.
Xavier who could barely manage to move three steps back in just two seconds while stunned watched as Arnold thrust his sword at him with a grin of victory.
At the same time Xavier was about to be struck by the beast-like electric shockwave-
*BZZZZT!* *Pierce-*
Following the electrical discharges, the sound of a sword cutting through flesh drizzled through the air.
*Drip* *Drip* *Drip*
In a moment of deathly silence, blood streamed down through the edge of a blade.
With the smile wiped cleanly off his face, Arnold dropped to his knees before hanging his head.
"H-*Cough!*" 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶
He coughed out blood.
"How...?" He asked in disbelief.
The handle of Xavier's sword could be seen sticking out of his chest when he looked down.
"You said five seconds... And you said only your body's position..." Arnold muttered.
Five seconds had not elapsed since Xavier threw the sword.
After turning around, he found Xavier standing behind him, with a sword in his left hand pressing against his neck. He then looked down his back and saw the right sword's blade sticking out and blood streaming from it.
"Did I? My bad... I must have forgotten to mention that it was up to five seconds? Meaning one or two or even half a second counter. Oh! And it wasn't just my position but the position of my objects." Said Xavier with a smile.
"This... This was all part of your plan wasn't it?" Asked Arnold as he teared up.
The moment Xavier had thrown the sword, from its position to how he threw it, it was done for Arnold to intentionally evade.
Having somehow calculated that Arnold would attack straight from the front with his guard lowered, he could reverse the sword's position to be right where he'd leap. Hence, piercing him through.
"Then... Then, that would mean you purposely let yourself get hit by the shockwave- *Cough* *Cough!*"
Arnold's tears dripped down onto the floor as blood gushed from his mouth.
"What are you...? Your speed and strength are clearly inferior to ours, so why...? Why did we lose!?"
*Sigh*
"You... You still don't get it do you?" Xavier asked as he winded back his arm with the sword. "Your prideful nature and tendency to underestimate those of other races... That weakness of yours is so easy to take advantage of it's scary..."
It became evident that Arnold was getting closer and closer to his death as Xavier threw some practice swings at his neck.
"But that's not it... The real reason you lost is simple."
"You're weak."
The sword had pierced a vital weak spot in Arnold's body, causing a surge of pain that burst from every movement. He cried out, wanting to move and fight back, but the sword prevented him from doing so.
"E-Even if you kill me... My family... The Demitris and the Vampire Lord's family which you killed... The Azriels... They won't forgive you... They'll hunt you down and-"
After seeing Xavier's expression of pure delight, Arnold's words fell from his lips.
"Thank goodness... I won't have to search for them that way... But don't worry, I will bury them with you." Xavier blushed.
"Y-Y-You mo-monster-"
*SWOOSH!*
Xavier decapitated Arnold in a single swift motion by swinging his sword.
[You killed a Low-Ranking Vampire Noble!]
[Rank: Viscount.]
[+210 XP!]
"Devour..." Xavier muttered with cold eyes.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
The Vampires banged against the doors as they tried to break in. Meanwhile, some remnant of the corpse's blood smeared the walls in front of him.
Against the walls, blood was smeared in a way that read. [A gift for the Azriel and Demitri Family from your predator <3]
Xavier put a lot of effort into the heart, he was very proud of it.
"Well then... Let's head out there and look for my father. I can feel him somewhere in the camp... I'm worried about leaving mom and sister alone, but Sangrea's with them." Xavier murmured.
'Besides, this will be a great experience to gain some XP... Vampire camps they said? One this weak feels more like a levelling farm.' Xavier thought to himself excitedly.
However, as he stepped towards the door, his heart sank.
His eyes snapped open as he looked over to a dark corner of the room.
"You can come out now... My dumbass finally noticed." Said Xavier.
"..."
At first there wasn't a response.
But shortly after, the sound of clapping echoed from the dark corner as two figures emerged.
As Xavier stared at the figures, his mouth opened. Memories of his past came crashing into his head.
Before him was a butler and beside the butler was a maid. At that moment, for some unknown reason, Xavier's body began to tremble.
"I hate to say this, but you will not be seeing the young lady." The butler adjusted his glasses. "You will be dying here right now, after all."
