Magic System in a Parallel World-Chapter 226 Queen Luna(3)

Chapter 226 Queen Luna(3)

"Interesting? Why is it going to be interesting? Who is this Luna?" Leo asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"Take a guess." She said with a mysterious smile.

Leo proceeded to stare at Luna with a pondering gaze. However, he couldn't think of anything.

"No clue. I give up." He shrugged.

Lilith turned to look at Luna and spoke, "As I said, I'm not 100 percent certain about this, but that girl… I think she's a vampire."

"What?!" Leo exclaimed upon hearing this information.

"What happened?" Lia asked him with a puzzled look on her face when he suddenly shouted out loud.

"O-Oh… It's nothing." He showed her a stiff smile.

Once Lia returned doing her own thing, Leo turned to look at Lilith again and asked her, "She's a vampire? What makes you say so? Is there something about her that gives it away?"

"No, it's just a feeling. If she really is a vampire, her disguise is perfect."

"Why would a vampire disguise as a human… a journalist, at that?" Leo asked.

"Who knows." Lilith shrugged.

"Is this how vampires infiltrate human society? They pretend to be human and damage us from within? At least this is how they usually do it in movies and stuff." Leo said, recalling some books and movies with this kind of setting.

"I will admit that many vampires disguise themselves as humans to enter your city, but the majority of them actually hate the idea of looking like a human, as they see it as reducing themselves to being livestock."

"Hm? I thought there were magic barriers around cities that prevent vampires from entering. Does a mere disguise bypass that?" Leo realized this and asked.

"Of course it doesn't work like that, but it doesn't completely block all vampires either. There are some vampires with special bloodlines that could bypass the magic barriers, and there are some vampires that are so powerful they can force themselves inside the city. However, with that being said, not every city out there is protected by magic barriers." Lilith said.

And she pointed at herself, "For the record, I am a vampire with a special bloodline that allows me to ignore these magic barriers, else I wouldn't have been able to enter Stellar City even as a soul, but vampires like me are one in ten million, so you don't need to worry too much about them."

"Though, the main question here is why she's interested in you. I have a theory, but I'm not sure."

"Let's hear it," said Leo.

Lilith nodded and said, "I think she can sense the smell of a vampire from you because of me, so she's checking you out. Not all vampires can do this, but we vampires have a different smell than humans, and we can find each other using this smell."

"However, I'm not too sure about this since I am merely a soul right now and I don't know if souls have a smell. As for that Luna girl… I cannot sense the smell of a vampire from her, but my instincts tell me otherwise."

After learning this information, Leo started sniffing Lilith, causing her to frown.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm trying to see if I can smell anything from you."

"I don't smell! And even if I do, a human does not have the capability to smell the difference!"

Leo shrugged, and he asked, "So, what should I do? If she can really smell the vampires on me, she might try to communicate with me as one. Do I pretend to be a vampire at that point or deny it?"

"Deny it." Lilith said, and she continued, "Vampires are not obligated to reveal their business to each other. And it's not like she will attack you because you claim to be human. However, you also shouldn't avoid her so obviously, as that could cause misunderstandings.."

"Alright."

Sometime later, Leo and Lia returned outside and gathered with everyone after their break had ended.

"How does everyone feel?" Khrome asked them.

"Great!" Lydia said.

"Normal." Lia said.

"Fine." Trent and Leo said.

"Good, then I have some news for us. At the request of Luna Flores, I have decided to let her spectate us as a team. If you don't want to be on the camera, let me know now and I will speak with her." Khrome said, and he turned to look at Leo, almost as though such words were specifically for him.

"I don't mind as long as she doesn't get in my way," he said.

"Alright, I will let her know." Khrome nodded.

"I can't believe that we're going to be covered by that Luna Flores! This has never happened before!" Lydia said with an excited look on her face.

Even an old man like Trent couldn't help but feel excited about their situation.

Luna appeared before them a moment later and said, "Hello, everyone. I'm Luna Flores, and I will be covering your team for the rest of this raid. If you have any questions, let me know."

Lydia immediately raised her hand and asked, "Can I have your autograph later?"

"Of course." Luna nodded with a smile.

"I will also be asking you all questions from time to time. If you don't want to answer a question, feel free to refuse." She added.

"I have a question." Leo suddenly said.

"Go ahead!"

"Why did you choose to cover us specifically?"

"My intuition and experience tells me that there's something special about your team, and I want to confirm it," she quickly gave him an answer.

"Is that so?" Leo didn't say anything else.

Once they were prepared, Leo and his team started making their way to another section in the Skeleton Graveyard.

When they found an appropriate area that had plenty of monsters and was not too crowded, they stopped wandering and started to fight these monsters.

Meanwhile, Luna would follow them around and spend some time with each member, starting with Khrome.
