Chapter 131: Next Course of Action
Monica is an excellent scout. From reconnaissance to gathering intelligence, the skills that she picked up while serving Rainel are something not even I can copy with the incredible powers I gained after transforming into a noble vampire.
Above all else, she is my savior. If not for Monica and Oliver, I would probably still be six feet under. Though we were enemies once, I decided to consider everything water under the bridge.
I had looked at them suspiciously, questioning their reasons for going to great lengths to track me down, but Monica simply stated that I… had become Rainel’s legitimate successor upon defeating him.
Evidently, Monica and Oliver are rather duty-bound. Or should I say, the gamelyon, Rainel, was that charismatic to earn such loyalty from them.
I guess even I could have ended up as Rainel’s subordinate had it not been for Senri. His army was horrible in many ways, but Rainel himself was rather an old-fashioned soul.
It’s unlikely that Monica would ever betray me. Vampires have too many weaknesses, hence even Monica who isn’t a fan of close combat could easily assassinate me if she so wished. And if she really wanted to betray me then all she had to do was not revive me in the first place. Worrying isn’t going to get me anywhere, and now I also have a familiar who is excessively loyal towards me.
Monica Ultivia is a dark being called a demon.
I don’t know much about demons, but what I do know is that not all demons are built the same and that Monica has the power to charm people.
She can take on a human form, has command over a number of dark spells and flies over the clouds with a pair of black wings. And compared to Senri or Mirele, she has a more voluptuous body. Her charm magic is different from my magic and though inferior in terms of potency or immediacy, it’s quite effective on men irrespective of their strength.
