Chapter 2046 2046. Talkative Vampire
"Alice, I came to give you some help. A lot happened and I felt it was much better to assist you then continue to worry." Su found herself where she found she was best.
When Su was helping in the cathedral, even when she exhausted herself, she felt moreplete. Every single thing she did had a direct result. Most of the time, it was in someone being healed or helped in some way. Therefore, she would go there for sce now.
With so many thoughts about the vampire race being tortured by amonster for years and the demon lord who was well above them in power, she needed the chase to calm herself. To do something that would show her a peaceful result.
"I can use help. Many vampires are malnourished and can not eat. We need to feed them drops of blood slowly so as not to cause them to panic or go in to shock." This was unexpected.
From what it appeared, the vampires had been taken to a massive area of tents. It was set up just for them with double canvas tentyers to help block the light which greatly weakened them on top of their already weakened state.
It was also easy to see that the healers here had already begun to understand theplexities of the vampire race. This was mostly due to the many people that had gathered the rumors and fairy tales of the vampire race. But also because they had gained information from some of the more functional vampire race.
"I understand. I will help anyone that needs it. Do you have a count on how many survived?" This stopped Alice in her next move. She appeared to lose a little of her very positive and bright action.
Every ce that Alice healed and worked was bright. She would maintain a smile and a general positive air around her. That was just something that she developed while she was growing up in the cathedral. Just her very presence was a lot more calming than the average person being around.
"There are only two hundred and fifty three vampires of the vampire race found alive and able toe here so far. We confirmed the passing of over one hundred and ten of them before they even felt the loss of those chains."
This was a lot for Alice to speak. That was telling in its own right. Alice normally remained silent or said very few things even now that she had control over the mana that would bleed out of every word she said.
Due to her speaking a lot, Su grew more on edge. It was only because this situation was so damn bad that she was sharing so many words. "We can help them. Don''t worry so much. Just keep doing what you are best at and I will be there to support everyone." Su''s wordsid the base for Alice to get a second wind.
"I will begin to work. But we can not heal them with the skills I would normally use. The light mana will kill them." This made Su''s face freeze. She was sure that she had heard this wrong.
However, the light mana that Alice used was strong. She had gained a lot of strength while she was with the party and generally healing people every single day. This was different though.
The vampire race had an innate darkness affinity. Every single one had it. If they did not, they were a very rare vampire to say the least. But this darkness affinity gave them an aversion to light mana. Much more than a normal human would have,
The light could weaken them during the day. During the weak state that they were all in now, they need nutrients to heal themselves before they faced any form of healing skill that used light as a base. They could survive a normal healing skill from someone that used light mana if they were in better conditions or more powerful.
The degradation of these vampires was outrageous though. They were skeletal and could barely be seen as the vampires they should be. "Please stop looking at my fellow vampires like that. You are working hard and you will get to see what I can do once I am healed."
The voice that caught both Su and Alice in a frozen and stunned stance was still weak. The girl that was facing them had serious scars on her arms and fingers. A clear sign that she had them broken and burdened. But she was sharp as a tac. She had definitely drunk some blood which gained her some better strength than that of what her fellow vampires had.
"I am Gloria, I used to be a life mana researcher to see if we could repair the weaknesses we gained over generations. If Icked the skills I have from that research, I would be much weaker and not recovering at the enhanced rate that I am. Don''t worry though, technically I am an undead race. Partially undead actually. It''s very fun to talk about. I could share some with youter."
"You are not the same as the vampires I expected to meet." Su had a wary expression. She didn''t feel that this vampire was right at all. This vampire experiments with life man based skills. It meant that she most likely had dealt with many dangerous situations over the years. Especially since she needed life mana from a ce with plenty of it. She couldn''t only use herself as an experimental subject.
"You would be right. I am not normal. Instead of spending twenty or thirty years in istion, I could spend a hundred or more. Often finding that my home was moved or different families be stronger than those that guided me. That distracting look is the same as mine." Gloria coughed and used a nearby chair as a ce to rest.
From the way that it appeared, she was used to things changing around her. But she also was putting on a false face. She was scarring that things were better than what they were right now. She was doing so, because she wanted the new people who may have rescued her to trust her more.
"You can speak but you will not get everything you ask for right away. We will not risk too much of the vampire lives we now hold at risk." Su gained her calm again. This time, she reacted better to the vampire that had spoken to them. She also showed that she was not willing to force this vampire, while also not allowing the vampire to take control of forces that had not earned that trust.
In the rity here, Gloria raised her head again and focused on Su. She sensed the risk that was there. It was only fair that Su did not show off all the trust in the world to her. "Thank you. I would rmend that you first look to help strengthen the life mana within us. We are a race that relies on it more than anything. The vampires are not undead and not fully alive. We bnce that where other races do not."
Morecoughing showed that the condition that Gloria was in was not fake. She was struggling to maintain this air of intelligence and calm more and more. But Su still remained focused. She had to ensure that the knowledge she gained was truer than true.
"I will be more aware of this situation than others. Su, I will watch over this one personally." stepping from the air and on to the ground, Scy focused her eyes on the vampire. She had been listening from above where none of them had noticed her. Mostly because Scy hade her silently to observe the actions of the vampires.
Because she had known that a vampiric monster had been controlling them, she worried that others might fall and be monsters seeing a chance for power. It would not be unheard of after so many stressful years of envement.
"General Scy, it is very good to see you are fine after that battle. You must have handled very many of the powerful vampiric monsters." Su was polite as ever.. She trusted Scy''s innate instincts.
"I had my fair share of the battle. You and Alice are also handling your own battles here right now. But I have some life mages nearby. They can make all the differences here. The angels have started to work together with many of my demi-human warriors. They train together already." This was no secret. But it was clearly Scy trying to shake up the new vampire''s mind. Just enough to show her that she would not be pushed around.
"I am Gloria, the life mana researcher." This was all Scy needed to see. Honesty before she opened her hands to properly greet the vampire.
