Rewind System: Vampire Harem In The Apocalypse-90 Chapter 90

"You were saying?" Asked a young man as he emerged from the room, holding the earl up by his face.

The young man had short silver spiky hair with deep crimson clock-like eyes. His figure was far smaller than the earl yet he was still easily holding him up with a single hand while holding his long sword on the other.

The earl grabbed onto Xavier's arm which held him up, tightening his grip around it as he tried to get drag it off. Unfortunately, no matter how much power he put into it, Xavier wouldn't let go.

"I wouldn't struggle if I were you..." Threatened Xavier as sparks of electricity sparked around his hand.

*Zap* *Zap*

[Lightning Manipulation.]

The Earl's eyes widened as he saw this. The ability to control electricity and Lightning was the young marquess's. Was it a coincidence that he could also do the same?

The other Vampires drew their weapons, cautiously waiting for a moment to strike. Above Xavier were two Vampires quietly crawling across the ceiling with their sharp claws. They assumed that Xavier had yet to notice them.

Xavier looked around, down the staircase and onto the main hall he could see around 20 Vampires, and upon looking even further down he noticed a few other Vampires walk into other rooms while he was holding the earl hostage.

"Um... Hm... How do I go about this?" Xavier asked as he closed his eyes, going into deep thought. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

The two Vampire's on the ceiling above him, instantly kicked off of it, leaping towards Xavier with their fangs sticking out of their open mouths.

They saw their opportunity to strike. However-

*Swoosh!*

Right before they made contact with him, both Xavier and the Earl's figure seemingly vanished.

[Retract.]

Looking around for them, they found them standing by the door with Xavier still holding the Earl up. This shook them to their core as they hadn't even seen them move.

"Oh, I know. Let's just do it the old fashioned way." Said Xavier as he began to tighten his grip on the earl's head.

"A-AAARGH!!" The Earl groaned in pain as he could feel his skull getting crushed.

Xavier's hand and fingers were digging further and further into the earl's skull. In an attempt to save himself, the Earl's ability began to activate as his body began to glow. Meanwhile, the two Vampires who'd missed and the other Vampires who'd been watched rushed at Xavier, all at once.

*Tic* *Toc*

[Rewind Level 3: Revert.]

In an instant, the glow of the Earl's body vanished, as it was reverted to a point before he'd activated his ability. Simultaneously, Xavier's hand began to vibrate at high speeds, charging up an electric attack before bursting out in the fraction of a section.

[Vibration Manipulation Level 1: Vibrate.]

[Lightning Manipulation Level 1: Lightning Burst.]

[Energy: 37/100]

*SPLATTER!*

The Earl's head exploded, splattering all of it's contents across the faces, uniforms and weapons of the many Vampires before Xavier.

[You Killed A High-Ranking Vampire Noble!]

[+340 XP!]

Xavier watched as the weapons all the weapons pierced into his body. Some went for his neck in a swing, others went for his chest in a thrust and the rest just went for anywhere with a spot.

He watched in slow-motion as they dug into his skin. They'd managed to reach him faster than he'd expected, he'd wasted too much time trying out his new move.

Without a doubt, he was in a dangerous position. Despite that, an expression of boredom could be seen on his face as the time began moving backwards on the clockwork in his eyes.

[Rewind Level 2 & 3: Retract & Revert Chain.]

[Energy: 32/100]

Xavier's figure vanished along with the blood spilt from the weapons digging into him. Meanwhile the Vampires who were being carried forth by their momentums, all collided with one another.

*CLANG!* *CLANG!* *SPLATTER!*

Some were pierced on accident by each other's weapons while others barely managed to get away with parrying the other's weapons.

Either way those who'd attacked Xavier collapsed onto one another, while Xavier's figure could be seen standing inside of the room, charging up an electric attack.

The other remaining Vampire's who hadn't collapsed and witnessed this, all leapt into the room after him to attack-

*VBOOM!*

Yet only three seconds after, they all went bursting right out through the walls with glowing electric fist prints all across their faces.

The Vampires who'd previously collapsed all got up and stared through the wall only to find Xavier standing there menacingly with electricity flowing all throughout his body.

His figure suddenly blurred as he moved across the room at high speeds, appearing on the wall before appearing on the ceiling before appearing in front of a Vampire who'd been staring at him in disbelief.

The Vampire felt his heart sink as Xavier stood before him, looking up at him with his mechanical eyes. His spiky silver hair had spiked upwards, electricity was constantly flowing through his body.

"If I contain the lightning burst... I can use it to boost my speed... Why didn't that kid try this?" Xavier asked the Vampire as he placed his hand on his face.

The Vampire's mouth was trembling as he was unsure of whatever to reply. Right as he was about to say something however, a sword swished by his neck, instantly decapitating him.

*Slash!*

As his head dropped towards the ground, two other Vampires zoomed past Xavier, striking him at the opportunity.

Inside of the room, the two Vampires halted before turning to Xavier, blood was dripping down both sides of his neck from their cut. On their hands were daggers which were covered in Xavier's blood.

Their mouths were covered by some sort of silky face cloth leaving only their crimson eyes out as they stared at Xavier.

"My cut felt shallow, did you get a deep one in?" The Vampire on the left asked as he glanced at the Vampire on the right.

"..."

The Vampire who'd landed on the right didn't respond. Glancing towards him, the Vampire on the left's eyes narrowed as he watched the Vampire on the right's head slide off of his shoulders.

'What the-? When did he cut him!?'

As his eyes moved over to glance at Xavier, they stopped mid-way as something else had caught them. The Vampire's dagger which was previous covered in Xavier's blood was now completely clean as if it had never even cut Xavier in the first place.

The slash mark on the side of Xavier's neck was also nowhere to be seen as he turned to him, looking at him with his mechanical eyes as the time constantly moved backwards.

"What the hell... Are-"

*CRASH!* 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

The Vampire was interrupted as a hand slammed against his face, Xavier had appeared ahead of a him in the blink of an eye.

*CRASH!*

The Vampire crashed into the wall with a throbbing red hand print resting on his face as he coughed out blood.

*Pierce*

Before he could even see the next attack coming, the edge of a blade plunged into his heart piercing it.

[You killed a Vampire!]

[+70 XP!]

"Consume." Xavier muttered as he turned back towards the broken wall.

Countless pairs of crimson eyes could be seen glaring at him. The Vampires hadn't had enough, their injuries had already healed. They were dying to finish him off.

"So? What are you waiting for?" Xavier asked as he swung his sword, splattering the blood of the Vampire he'd just killed across the wall and floor. "Come at me." Said Xavier with a smile.

"Head Butler." Sangrea called out as she anxiously tapped her dark shoes on the ground.

"Young lady?" Questioned the butler.

"A fight has broken out inside of the mansion." Said Sangrea as she glared at him.

"I am aware of that." Responded the butler.

"Alright, that's it. No more waiting. It's been long enough, I'm going out to check on him."

Anastasia who heard this took a step forward to stop her, but she was pulled back by the head butler who bowed and nodded.

"Very well, if that's what the young lady desires." Said the head butler.

Hearing his words, Sangrea's expression lightened up in gratitude.

"We're heading out already? Finally, I can help-"

Viera was interrupted by Sangrea who shook her head and said.

"You're staying here, Sophie, Head butler and Anastasia will keep you safe. Fear not, nothing shall enter the domain as long as I am still in the vicinity."

Hearing this, Viera frowned.

"But I'm worried about Xavier-"

"I promise I'll keep him safe... He told me to keep you safe and protect you, so please stay here and avoid danger." Said Sangrea before plunging into the shadow below their feet.

"Wha- Wait!"

By the time she called out to her, Sangrea was already long gone.

Viera rushed over to the wall trying to break it open, punching and kicking it but it was no use.

"Anastasia, please!"

Just before Anastasia could respond to Viera's request, Elaine, her mother spoke up.

"Viera, that's enough. You will wait here with the rest of us and have faith in them. We're both powerless, we'd only be a hindrance and you know that."

Elaine's words struck deep. They were cold but reasonably so.

Viera hung her head before nodding in understanding. She clenched her fist in sadness and anger at her own powerlessness before sitting by a corner of the domain.

'Is this what it's like to be powerless...? It fucking sucks...'
