Re: Evolution Online

Liam sighed and quickly gave up on convincing anyone. He then turned to look at the two vampiresses, who still hadn't taken a hint and moved from their positions.

It looked like they couldn't care less about the others in the room as their gaze was only glued onto Liam. He facepalmed and rubbed his brows. 

"You two. Can you get the hell up and stand normally?"

Thankfully, the two soul minions immediately obeyed him. The twin vampiresses got up from their suspicious incriminating positions and stood in front of Liam.

Even though their eyes still flashed a heart sign, at least they were not hurling themselves at him. They waited for him with eager anticipation, casting longing glances his way.

Liam's face twitched. Before anyone else could speak, he opened his mouth first. "Let's move on. What can you two tell me about yourselves?"

"Our names are Alice and Ysabella, Master." One of the twins answered. "We are eternally bound to your command and will carry out your wishes regardless of the cost."

Liam nodded, but he wanted more answers. "Who made you vampires?" He asked again, starting with the important question first.

Alex and the others also snapped out of the earlier situation and intently listened to the current conversation. 

They as well very much wanted to know who had the power to create beings like this or if this was perhaps a natural phenomenon, a by-product of the apocalypse.

Unfortunately for them, the twins became silent as they shook their heads.

"Hmmm?" Liam frowned. "How did you two become like this? Who asked you to attack all the people in this area?" He asked again.

However, this time as well, the duo remained silent.

"You don't know, or you can't tell?" Liam's gaze hardened. All of his soul minions were loyal to him to a fault, but the two in front of him… he was slightly doubtful.

If they were indeed vampires, then were they already undead who perhaps possessed a different master?

"Are you bound to someone else?"

"No, master." The twins immediately answered. "We are only bound to you. We don't know who created us and made us this way. We cannot remember." Alice said.

"We only remember that he was a foreigner and had a weird accent," Ysabella added.

Liam had guessed as much because the twins were both clearly from China just based on their facial features. However, Alice and Ysabella were not native names.

"We're also unaware of how he bestowed this power on us. One day suddenly, beasts started clawing at our doorstep, and when we were about to be killed, somehow, we were saved."

"We don't remember his face or any other details about him. The only thing that remained with us was his words. They used to echo in our heads constantly."

"What words?" Liam asked.

"Become powerful." The twins answered in unison.

"And you no longer hear them?"

"No, master. Ever since you gave life to us again, we no longer hear the words."

"Then what about the blood? Who taught you to drink it?" Liam couldn't believe that two young women could wake up one day and simply find themselves as vampires.

However, it looked like that was what had happened.

"We don't know, master." Alice replied. "After that day, we found that we were very powerful and we could easily kill everything that was in our way."

"While killing, we drank the blood of our prey because we were hungry. We knew that this blood could make us stronger. We also knew that we could make more of others like us."

"You just knew these things?"

"Yes, master."

Liam was perplexed. He silently observed the two soul minions in front of him, at a loss for what to ask them next. "Do you remember anything else at all?" He vaguely tossed out a question.

"Yes, master." The twins nodded obediently. "In two weeks' time, we are supposed to travel further north to meet with others like us."

"In two weeks?" Liam's eyes widened. 

Though he hadn't talked to the others about this, roughly in three to four weeks, there would be the next wave of the apocalypse.

And the timing the vampiress mentioned seemed awfully too close to this checkpoint. This meant that they were planning something big, potentially something that could affect them all.

Haa… Liam sat back on the couch, engrossed in his thoughts. Just like that, out of nowhere, another variable had popped up!

While the existence of the high-level dungeons was a welcome surprise, this was by no means pleasant or welcome. 

He had a feeling that it was not a mere coincidence that something like this had cropped up so close to his home base.

Was this perhaps the work of the divine temple? Did their influence extend beyond the tutorial world?

Or perhaps Crawford had a hand in this? Was he already aware of his current location?

Several confusing thoughts swirled in his mind as Liam silently gazed at the two vampiresses in front of him.

If what he heard was true, then these two were probably not the only vampires that were 'created'. Was this mysterious person making several more of the same?

And if each of them created their own nests, then soon this entire country was going to be riddled with vampire zones.

Perhaps this wasn't even restricted to this country?

Just like the others, Liam had to base his theories on speculations here. His past knowledge was useless. This was a completely different issue that hadn't happened before.

What was the best thing to do now? He quietly pondered.

Seeing that Liam was silent, Alex took the chance to ask a few more questions of her own. 

She stomached the appearance of the two slutty soul minions and talked to them about the various strong points and weak points of vampires in general.

Though these two twins were quite threatening when they were alive, the other minions only had stats to their strength.

And the reason for this became clear as the twins started explaining.

Every time a vampire drank blood, they actually gained a certain number of stats!
