Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 16 First Encounter, Gray Wolves

-----

"So you have been interacting with this girl named Erika, huh? I-Is she better than me?" she asked while pouting. Her Energy Saving Form reminded me of our younger years in our previous lives, when she was small and always depending on me for everything.

"Erika is my friend, Eleanora. One of the first friends I've made in this life… She's a girl with a big past behind her initial simple appearance. And no, she's not better than you." I said.

"T-That's a relief…!" she said.

"You're only concerned about that?" I sighed.

"N-No! Of course, we should begin our hunt right away, my lord- I mean, Blake!" she said. She is going to have a hard time leaving formalities aside.

One of the factors that, despite being so close with Eleanora still made me feel distant from her is how she treated me in my previous life.

She always held me as someone not equal to her, as someone above her, and for all that time, she always spoke to me as "my lord". Without realizing it, she formed a barrier between the two of us that couldn't be easily surpassed because she couldn't see me as someone equal.

It was rather obvious that… we loved each other. Due to her desire to not bother me with things such as romance and because I was too focused on my own goals, it never went anywhere. This is also a reason why Eleanora is someone so special to me. …Because I love her, even now. After so long, by just seeing her face, I feel my heart beating faster.

I suppose because of this embarrassment I felt, in the last years of my previous life, I grew more distant from her. Perhaps in this new life I should embrace her… and tell her how I feel. After all, I don't want to commit the same mistakes.

…

However, for now, I cannot do that, it would be too sudden, things need time to develop. I must help her get used to this world and grow stronger at my side. She seems to be able to level up as well, so we should begin hunting beasts and see how this strange mechanic exactly works.

"Blake, have you refined Blood Qi?" she wondered.

"Not yet, I have been confined in my home by my parents until now… It has been rather infuriating, but I've been practicing Qi this entire time. Now it is finally the time to hunt something and absorb its blood." I said.

"Very well, because I can feel three creatures rushing towards here!" said Eleanora, her eyes shone brightly as she seemed to feel excited.

She has sharper senses than I do, I wasn't able to properly detect any living being yet. As we had gone out to the forest to practice my abilities, it seems that we have already encountered a good practice target.

"Very well, where are they coming from?" I asked.

"Left." She said.

I looked to my left, gathering Qi into my palms. The bushes began to tremble as three creatures emerged from them, they were together and obviously in a pack.

Wolves, Gray wolves, to be exact.

I had heard from father that he and his group had encountered them. They're opportunistic eaters that try to take bites off the meat of the giant wild boars they hunted down. These are smaller and slimmer than the wolves I've seen on other planets and looked more like wild dogs. Of course, two little children were easy prey, especially in the middle of the night.

"Wolves? I suppose they were not goblins; I had been expecting the usual cliché." Said Eleanora.

"I don't know if Goblins are even in this world, but I've seen Imps." I said.

As I leisurely talked with Eleanora, one of the wolves leaped towards me at a fast speed. His movements were swift and precise, his jaws opened wide.

I could see the threat right in front of me. But I had seen this countless times, my fear for death was near null, this made it so I could stand before danger without problems.

I moved my fist swiftly, like a flow of water, with tranquility and harmony. This was a strange Technique for a Vampire, right? But it was the most effective for now.

"Flowing Fist Technique: Fist of Tranquility."

BOOM!

My fist moved so swiftly the wolf wasn't able to see me move at all. It reached his chin and blew him away into the air.

His corpse fell onto the floor motionlessly.

Fist of Tranquility is a technique that helps me choose if I either want to punish or kill.

It generates waves of Qi that enter the foe it hits and can crush its internal organs. Or it can hit them strongly, but without doing damage.

Of course, I selected the first one, because I wasn't going to let go of my first prey.

The wolf's internal organs had already burst inside, it died instantly.

"Oho! Wonderful!" said Eleanora. She waved her hand and suddenly a mass of blood emerged out of thin air, gathering around with blood essence, and shaping itself into a blade.

FLASH!

The blade reached the second wolf's head, piercing its skull and killing it on the spot, cold-bloodedly. The wolf wasn't even able to see what was happening and it died, just like that.

The third wolf looked at both of us with utter horror, as it began to step back, gritting its teeth, it knew we were dangerous.

"Graar!" it suddenly began to run away.

"You're not going anywhere." I said, grabbing a stone from the floor and firing it.

Precisely, a single stone.

Why? Well, using Qi, you can make anything a lethal weapon.

A stone is already rather lethal if it hits someone very strongly, but what if I throw it at the speed faster than bullet?

The stone broke through the wind itself and reached the wolf, hitting its head in an instant.

BOOM!

It pierced through with ease, leaving a bloody hole, the wolf died on the spot as well.

Hm, that was rather easy for my first hunt.
