The two vampire women who were followers of Marius Tepes were quickly dealt with as well. They were clearly inhuman monsters who happily preyed on humanity, and I wasn't going to have that.
And then I found a staircase beneath the Tepes's throne with my sensory abilities.
After throwing the throne into my pocket dimension because... Let's be honest. One should always keep a snazzy throne on hand if one needs to aura farm.
I made my way into the secret basement, which I already knew the contents of.
Within a larger room at the end of the staircase case, it was almost blindingly bright with the entire ceiling being fluorescent lamps.
The ground and walls were also marble white with other veins of material that broke the overwhelming white surrounding area.
But lo and behold.
Being bound to a bed, with even her head bound to the bed, was the most important reason I was here.
'There you are.' I mused as I stepped forward to peer upon Valerie Tepes.
Her tired, blood crimson eye's took in my own form, and then she said quietly. "You are not my brother... Nor a vampire. What are you going to do to me then?"
I leaned over a bit and hummed before I said with a small smile. "I think-" I drew off with a chuckle before I continued. "You are now being rescued. Please do not resist."
At her confused expression, I cleared my throat and said more firmly. "I am a friend of Gaspar. I came to deal with the vampires and rescue you. I will protect you as well as I want you in my group and safe with Gaspar."
She exhaled softly and said with obvious joy. "You know Gaspar huh... Then tell me something about him. And are you going to make me use my Sacred Gear then?"
I knew that, the Longinus Sepiroth Gral put a lot of strain on her soul due to it being an even more powerful subspecies so I shook my head and said quietly as I carefully broke the bindings on her.
"No, I won't force you to use your sacred gear, Valerie. But as for Gaspar... He is still a shy boy, but he is kind, and he still crossdresses because of your games." I finished with a chuckle.
Valerie blushed a bit as she carefully sat up with a grimace at how weak she was clearly. But she still spoke with the 'pride' of a sister who had a lifetime of blackmail on a stupid younger brother.
"It's his fault for looking so cute in dresses after all!"
I just shook my head helplessly before I gently infused Valerie with the healing true Phoenix energy from Bi Ji's soul ring to make her sigh with comfort.
"Can you walk Valerie? We can't stay here even if me and the rest of my people kill all the vampires."
Valerie moved to stand, but even as her legs gave out. I caught her as Bi Ji spoke inside of my soul with gentle guidance. "Even with my healing Jake, she has major mobility issues due to having been locked to that bed for at least a year."
So with a hum, I put Valerie on my back with several tendrils of soft wood magic, making vines to secure her to my back as I said more firmly. "In case I do need to fight. I need my hands free to protect us both. Just hold on, and I will have you in Gaspar's oversized refrigerator box within the hour!"
-
A scream was cut off into a choked ash ash-filled gurgle as Qian Renxue's holy sword wrenched out of the last noble vampire's heart. The vampire in question quickly burned away to ashes at the divine Holy energy that filled its form.
"Tsk tsk, you truly are a weapon suited for destroying evil creations. It's almost a pity that this talent never got to be shown back in our world." Bibbi Dong spoke as she likewise watched without any interest as the 'army' of vampires and dhampires melted under the poisonous mist she summoned with one of her spirit ring abilities.
Then Bibbi Dong looked over to the side along with Qian Renxue as both women sensed Jake's pulse of soul energy in particular that they recognized beyond all the excess magical energy in the air.
"That's the signal that the VIP he wanted is taken... Well, we certainly left a clear enough message. Got to leave some survivors after all to tell others what happened here."
Qian Renxue made a noise of disgust as she said rather coldly. "I would rather wipe every one of those monsters from this earth. Even those Dhampires are barely any better than the worst of evil Soul Masters back on our world."
Without another word Qian Renxue let out of a huff, and her gleaming angel wings tore through the air as she took off into the air to get back to Jake.
As the entire group was to meet once at the signal and assuming they cleared out all the vampires they could find.
Bibbi Dong likewise flew behind her daughter and she herself let out a soft snort at seeing that white haired, lusty lizard of a dragon all but leaning on Jake as she inspected the so-called VIP.
And both Bibbi Dong and Qian Renxue had a slight grimace at seeing that the VIP was clearly a Dhampire, at least if not a vampire from her gleaming blood wine red eyes and fangs.
Then Jake spoke while hefting the girl on his back and entirely way to close to his neck with those fangs, honestly!
"Alright, ladies, you all can either stay to help the humans get to the safety that we saved. Either dropping them off in another human city or even bringing them into our future Spirit Hall. Or otherwise go home. Or continue to be a murderhobo, I suppose."
Jake's extended sentence and last part clearly was in relation to Gu Yuena, who just raised an eyebrow at Jake's words before she said flatly and made Bibbi Dong's face twitch.
"I already spoke with and or fought the Dragon Kings I could find and found most of them wanting... Especially that Nordic snake. But I am ready to begin work to create the true Dragon God."
As Bibbi Dong was no fool. She knew that Gu Yuena wasn't going to attempt to consume and refine Jake who had absorbed the Golden Dragon King's power and bloodline... It was all to clear she wanted to make the Dragon God in the most natural way!
And Bibbi Dong wasn't going to be upstaged in this... Entirely too large a harem by having the firstborn that would have divine potential be taken by some baby crazy dragon!
"Hmm, then I will begin the induction process for those of talent and the willpower to move past this incident." Bibbi Dong said through almost gritted teeth as she felt the remnants of the Rakshasa god's power within herself squirm at the negative emotions within herself.
