Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 185: Isla’s Thoughts (Isla’s POV)

"You bastards, how dare you betray the vampire race!?" shouted Isla, as she was almost kneeling on the ground, fighting many people in front of her.

Her whole group had been a farce from the start.

From the moment they were separated from the rest of the group, she had fallen into a bizarre trap that she didn't think she would fall victim to.

Still, thanks to Matt's warning, she could hold out for a while until the Devourers showed up to help these bastards in front of her.

She couldn't understand much, but from what she could make out, there were several of those guys in front of her who wanted to kidnap her to hand her over to a young master from a noble family.

And the whole group was working for that young master and that family.

At first, she fought against them and killed several as a warning, but there were too many. Some stronger than her.

Although she had two army buddies at the start, they were killed by those bastard students from the first academy, causing her to fall into a passive state that intensified the moment two devourers with over 5,000 power and the ability to instill fear arrived.

The slowly dying trauma was revived like a phoenix the moment she received powerful blows from those devourers.

Even more so when she realized that those two bastards in front of her were among the devourers who attacked her family.

The intense hatred inside her was burning, but the vampires and the devourers were allies, so she was hit again and again.

It was inevitable that she had several broken bones in the process, and the pain engulfed her.

But each time she got up.

'...I can't fall... Not before I murder these bastards.' She thought.

Still, her past trauma added to her present wounds made her mind reel, and she hesitated several times.

'...I shouldn't have been separated from Matt...'

'I've been such an idiot... Honestly, I agree. I've been baggage for Matt. No talent whatsoever, no ability whatsoever...'

'I've only been trying to fight alongside him because I don't want to be separated from him, but... Do I have what it takes to fight alongside him?'

'Why hasn't Matt thrown me aside?'

'I'm so useless... Why does he keep me by his side?'

'Why not just throw me out? I... I'm of no use to him...'

'I'm always giving him trouble...' She thought.

But a mocking voice brought her out of her thoughts.

"Hehehe, are you worrying about that idiot Matthew? Let me tell you a secret. This is all a trap orchestrated by the leaders. And the idea is simple: they want Matthew and Alice Allen's head. They fell into that trap, and they are surely dead right now!" shouted one of the vampires mockingly while laughing hysterically.

His mocking face and words made Isla look up.

"What did you just say!?" Anger seized her from one moment to the next, and tremendous fury plunged into her heart.

She swung her sword again after hearing this.

'I have to help him!' That was what she thought, so she immediately lunged at them, not caring about her wounds.

"DIE, YOU BASTARDS!" she shouted.

But suddenly, four people hit her belly without her noticing...

"Buagh!"

She was sent backward, falling across the floor, rolling like an old rag thrown in the trash.

At the same time, the two fear abilities reminded her of her trauma, along with the maniacal laughter of the devourers.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, VAMPIRE, ACCEPT YOUR FATE!"

Pain filled her, and she couldn't help but vomit another mouthful of blood.

'Shit...' Her body began to tremble.

Fear, anger, helplessness, and countless bad feelings hit her in that instant.

She wanted to fight.

But her mind betrayed her, for her mind wanted to know the answers to her questions.

At the same time, a part of her mind was tormenting her differently.

You're not going to accomplish anything.

Matt has you there because you're pretty and nothing else. You're not worthy of being with him.

You're just a piece of trash who should have died a long time ago.

How could you leave your family alone in the other world?

If you're never going to get revenge, what are you doing in this world? Why do you keep getting in the way of someone as great as Matt?

The best thing to do is to give up; you are unworthy.

'Yes... I am unworthy.'

'I know, I'm not on his level. But he's not that shallow. If he's with me, it's not because I'm pretty; Miss Alice is much prettier than me... Why would he seek me out if he has her?'

'Besides, his eyes are always pure... There's no way he's that kind of person.'

'Even so... If it's not because of that, why is he still with me? Agh... I really don't understand you, Matthew...'

'You have no reason to be with someone as useless as me, but you always look out for me and care about helping me become strong.'

She tried to remember the many nights Matt taught her various things, trying to find the reason why he was with her, but she couldn't.

The only thing she found in her mind were some words Matt said to her some time ago.

-The most important thing about a person is not their talent, but their determination to become strong. It is not their status but their mentality. If you have determination, you will be powerful in the future. If you don't have it, no matter how much talent you have, you will end up sinking into a bottomless pit from which you cannot get out.

Those words churned in her mind from one moment to the next, trying to understand their meanings.

For a moment, her mind felt clarified.

'I see... So that's why.' She thought and looked up slightly to see her badly wounded body and her weapon at the side of her.

'I just need to beat my trauma so I can move on. I just need to... Kill these bastards so I can go help him...' She thought.

Looking at herself, she realized she was one of the strongest in this place. She was chosen as a leader because she was among the strongest, and even though she wasn't the strongest... She had the teachings Matt had given her.

That made her realize that she had been beaten just because she was having infighting.

"If I fight head-on... I can go help Matt. I just need to get rid of all of you..." Her thoughts left her mind and materialized in her in a cold, emotionless voice.

Although she was trembling slightly from the pain, she gripped her weapon tightly and stood firmly again while repeating those words in her mind.

The fear ability will only hurt her if she lets herself overcome the trauma; Matt told her that once.

'I just need to ignore and overcome the trauma. Just once is enough for me.'

Although the people in front of her were stunned, and some laughed out loud, they soon saw Isla move at immense speed toward them with a bloody flash, using a tactic unknown to them.

"BEWARE!"

That sword soon pierced the necks of four people in succession; among them, the devourers were the first to fall, for they did not expect such an onslaught when under the effect of their abilities.

Isla knew how to attack and did not even defend herself. After the first four, she bent her sword to decapitate others. Her attacks were fierce and full of hatred. She was not attacking to disable them; she wanted to murder them!

So, she moved among them at great speed, attacking with ferocity while her eyes were bloodshot.

Because she was not defending herself, she could not tell whose blood she saw; she only knew that she had to decapitate all these bastards at once...
