Demon Slayer: Rise of The First Werewolf-Chapter 54: Slaughter

The light outside the house went out, Adrian stood in the front yard facing the front gate, he saw Sam running towards him with blood trickling down his arm.

But he was grinning, behind him were 8 people chasing after him moving so fast they were like shadows.

Sam reached him and came to a stop, the people behind him stopped 20 metres away from them.

They said nothing and just watched them, Adrian also didn’t move and seconds ticked by with both parties just watching each other.

" Are you not coming out?" He spoke to the air, then heard a raspy laugh and smoke bellowed out covering nearly a hundred metres.

Through the smoke came out more than a hundred people covered in dark hooded cloaks that hid their faces.

In front of them was an old man with a white beard and dressed like a butler. Next to the man was a dog.

Calling it a dog was not accurate, it was huge, nearly two metres tall, its eyes burnt with flames like a flickering candle.

It was a hell hound, a creature created through dark occult magic. The butler stood forward then bowed.

" Greetings, I’m Lucas Anvil, it’s a pleasure to meet you, may I know this lords name?" He greeted politely and even addressed Adrain as lord.

" Are you from the Karon, Attar or Ezell house?" Adrian got straight to the point, he wanted the know which of the three vampire houses managed to find him.

With Meggie’s cloaking spell, it should’ve been impossible but with a hell hound, he could see it happening.

Lucas laughed softly, " Why would that matter? Your life will be forfeited tonight."

Adrain smiled, " Yes it matters who sent you, otherwise, how will I know who to kill first after this?"

That made Lucas giggle even more, " As expected of the one who dares to kill my kind in our territory, you are prideful as you are foolish."

Adrian sighed, " Fine, don’t tell me I’ll just get it out of you myself." Adrian moved and the battle began.

The butler Sam jumped back and hid inside the dark fog, the other vampires pounced on Adrain.

They hissed revealing their long fangs and sharp claws but they were merely plebeian vampires.

While monsters to normal humans they were nothing to Adrain, their blinding speed could very well be that of a turtle to him.

Adrain slashed out and ripped off the head of a vampire with a single swing of his claws, this terrified the others and they paused.

That pause cost them their lives, without using any abilities or even taking his second form, he blurred around them.

In a second he had ripped out five heart which terrified the vampires even more, they had lived as kings in this city for decades.

Some even centuries, they had never experience such slaughter aimed at them and it chilled their hearts.

They retreated then heard a scream behind them, they saw Lucas feeding the head of one of their own to the hell hound while glaring at them with cold eyes.

They hesitated and did not know which direction to go, going forward meant facing Adrain, retreating meant facing Lucas.

They made their decision, while Adrian was terrifying, Lucas had instilled his terror into them for centuries.

His fame amongst the subordinates of their lord made him a terrifying figure in their eyes, they gritted their sharp fangs and pounced on Adrian.

He sighed, " Sending yourself to your own death, how foolish, you would’ve had a better chance of survival against him."

They did not listen, he punched through the chest of one of them and ripped out her heart behind her back.

The vampire looked at him with fear and begging eyes but he just gave her a cold look and her cold corpse fell to the ground.

This did not stop the others, Adrian got tired of wasting time and used an ability for the first time.

He waved his hand and hundreds of crescent blades made of silver lunar esper shot out.

They were no more than 20 cm long each and before the vampires could react, their bodies were cut into pieces.

That single move killed nearly 70 vampires at once, most of the black fog was cleared in the process.

The remaining vampires stood frozen, even Lucas’s eyes flickered with fear but he tried to hide it.

Then he looked at the creature next to him, his master went through a lot of trouble to get an occult mage to create this hell hound and its power was immense.

It was a level 2 Gadra, with it by his side he relaxed, the seed of fear that had sprouted inside his heart was burnt away.

He took out an dog whistle and blew it, a low frequency sound spread out making the hell hound growl.

Adrian gritted his teeth, the sound was grating to his ears and made him irritated, it was giving him a headache.

The hell hound howled then pounced in Adrian, its body ignited into flames that lit up the night sky.

The remaining vampires smiled and felt relief, they understood the power of the hell hound better then anybody.

However what happened next made them freeze, they were unable to process what they were seeing.

The hell hound suddenly stopped, it whimpered then lay down and waged its flaming tail at him.

Even laying down it was still tall enough for him to brush its neck, its flames did not burn him.

Lucas shook with fear then he turned around and bolted, " STOP HIM STOP HIM!" He shouted as he ran.

The remaining vampires did not listen, they were terrified and did not care about Lucas anymore.

" Anyone who moves dies." Adrian whispered and as if somebody had pressed pause all the vampires froze.

They did not dare even breathe too hard lest they accidentally move, sweat dripped off their faces.

-----------------------

Inside the house, Sanchez watched all of this with sweat pouring down her face, her heart was gripped with fear.

Although she was watching the fight through the security footage, she could barely see anything.

All she saw were blurring shadows then blood and death. It dawned on her, as Adrain had said, no matter how many cops she called, they would all die.

These weren’t things humans can deal with, she watched Adrain through the screen then he turned and grinned at the camera.

She flinched and hit the table behind her.
