Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

The huge caravan came to a halt.

"Gentlemen Knights, is something wrong?" asked the Leader of the caravan, the chief merchant.

The Divine Knights nodded to him.

"What kind of merchandise are you carrying? Who are you? I ask you to please cooperate. We are looking for killer vampires." One of the Divine Knights approached him.

The merchantman was surprised, though he was also filled with fear. He was a person who feared vampires and devourers, so he naturally nodded.

"Of course, I will cooperate, sir. This is the stuff; it was checked in the city and confirmed by the Bishop." He passed him a paper with several things written on it. It bore the seal of the merchants and that of the church as well.

He then proceeded to introduce him to the bodyguards.

"They are protector adventurers. I rented them in the Capital three months ago, and they have been traveling with me all this time." After saying this, he looked at the adventurers. "Take out your badges so the Knights can verify them," he shouted.

The adventurers had nothing to say; they immediately took out their badges and handed them to the Divine Knights.

'...There's nothing wrong over here. It makes sense; they left the city 1 hour or so ago; the explosion has less than 45 minutes since it went off; they couldn't get here that fast.' Thought one of the Divine Knights.

He then went through the badges, one by one, until he came to two particular people.

Although they were wearing adventurer's armor, he could tell they were stockier than the rest, so he looked up.

Man and woman had a rustic and determined look, uncommon in appearance, and looked powerful.

'The leaders of the group?' He thought and nodded towards all of them, unsuspecting.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Keep up the good work." Replied the Divine Knight leader who was investigating them.

Subsequently, the merchant thanked them and congratulated them on their excellent work, and then each group departed on its own side.

Before leaving, the Divine Knight leader looked at the pair of leaders.

He still felt something was wrong, but he could not understand what it was.

In the end, he continued on his way to the city and soon arrived.

Once in the city, the number of people gathered here increased dramatically. Mighty people were among those present; they had come from other towns, which were somewhat close by.

When the larger group arrived, which was the one that encountered the group of merchants, several people came out to inform him.

"Sir, it was numerous explosions that occurred in the cathedral, totally destroying it. It is believed that someone placed explosive ice-attribute inscriptions on the walls and floors, exploding everything in their path."

The Divine Knight leader was surprised by this, "Ice? Not blood?" he asked, and the man nodded.

"I'm afraid... That the vampire didn't make it. It's possible some member of Low Deal did it, or it could even be maneuvered by the higher-ups." Replied the one reporting to him softly.

The Divine Knight frowned.

'Ice? Ice Magic... Tsk, although few clans control ice magic in the empire, there are still several.' His mind wandered briefly as he listened to the man's entire report.

'Wait... Weren't there records in the organization that they were chasing a vampire who could use ice?' He thought, remembering some information that had come to him recently.

'Shit, if it turns out to be that guy and he's hiding in some clan, we'll never be able to find him!' His mind buzzed with alarm.

But before he could voice his concerns, someone rushed here.

"Sir, the survivor woke up!"

After hearing this, the Divine Knight ran to that place.

The survivor was wrapped in white bandages all over; he was not even recognizable. His legs were blown off, as were parts of his face and arms.

When he woke up, he was practically dying.

He had no eyes left. Still, he opened his mouth to speak.

"...Someone... Someone... Infiltrated... No one... No one noticed... It's an assassin...

A hit... The Bishop died..."

His words were clearer than anyone present could imagine, but just as several healing wizards were about to begin healing him, his body stopped reacting.

He dropped dead, unable to look at the sunlight once again.

'Infiltrator... An assassin capable of infiltrating in front of more than 15 Holy Knights and who uses ice is a dangerous person. But his ice is also his undoing.' Thought the divine knight with determination.

At the same time, he was taken to a different place, the basement, where they found footprints that were lost in a tunnel.

The basement was practically empty, and the church had been destroyed, so they had no idea what this place was for.

"Sir, possibly they escaped through that tunnel." Several thought so, though it could also be a diversionary tactic.

The Divine Knight frowned. He sensed something was wrong.

'An assassin capable of infiltrating under the noses of so many holy knights and a divine knight can't be just anyone. But where is the divine knight? Did he die under the rubble? No, there is no way. A holy knight could die, but a divine knight as strong as that wouldn't die under the rubble. That means he died in another way...

As I recall, that vampire who could use ice, he managed to destroy a branch of the organization, so he was very powerful.'

Suddenly, a strange couple came to his mind. The two people he had just seen, whom he judged to be the leaders of the group of adventurers.

They looked different from the whole group. There was something about them that made them stand out abnormally.

'Could it be? Someone capable of infiltrating like this must be fast... It must also be someone with the ability to disguise themselves very well, but the aura can't be disguised...'

He immediately looked at his subordinates. "Send people down this tunnel; you all stay to check every person in the city; not even a child can escape your investigation. I have to go see something!" he shouted. Without giving them any more explanations, he turned around and dashed at high speeds out of the city.

'Shit, those bastards, they're possibly causing this!'

...

On the merchant campaign.

When they were already far from the city, Matt and Alice attacked the merchants in force, killing all the adventurers.

The last ones left were the merchants, weak people engaged in trade.

They trembled in front of Matt.

"You... You are vampires..." Said one of them, with great fear.

Matt smiled. "Time to die." He replied.

"No, no, please... Forgive me, I have family. I will pay you back; I will never betray you or say anything about you."

"We have children waiting for us, a baby girl just born, please forgive me..."

Several of them began to beg, again and again, for their lives.

Some use their children to touch Matt's soft side or give him their wealth.

Matt remained unmoved by these offers, and his figure flickered from one moment to the next, appearing from behind them instantly.

"Humanity doesn't deserve a second chance." His attitude was calm but deadly. Indifferent but sharp.

Even Alice was surprised to see him like this.

Matt looked at her, "Let's go. We don't know if anyone will discover our feint." After saying this and gathering everything here to put in a storage ring, they disappeared into the night light.
