Maria studied the group of Vampires. There were four of them.
They were not alone. They dragged more than a dozen captives behind them, blood chains wrapped tightly around their necks.
The prisoners appeared to belong to a small tree-climbing monkey tribe—humanoid figures with red skin and gray fur.
"Ukiii?!"
"Ukia! Ukiaaa!"
"Ukiiii!"
Panic erupted among them as the forest ahead vanished. They looked battered and exhausted, some still bleeding from fresh wounds.
The group included the elderly and children. The Vampires had spared no one.
"Ohhh, we're lucky we found some pieces of shit right away," Maria said, smiling as she licked her lips. "My sword was getting thirsty for blood."
"W-Wha...?!"
"You think you can stand against us?!"
"Don't you dare challenge the Crimson Order, Player!"
"We show no mercy to those who can't mind their own business!"
