A cluster of pungent smells from mixed perfumes immediately attacked my nose once I appeared near the Border City entrance.
The last time I visited, I was in a hurry to find Lucy and couldn't see the new city properly. But now, I had time to look around and noticed quite a few noticeable changes around the city, especially the streets and buildings near the entrance.
Many people with expensive clothes walked down the outer area, and some of them even stopped in the Beastkin and Succubi shops to have a relaxing night. The business was booming, and I noticed someone entered the Domination house with a collared girl in order to try their luck.
Unlike me, they didn't know the requirement to dominate the girl and could always fail. I didn't know much about how Domination House worked as it worked differently from my System.
Probably it also didn't require Sins to dominate a girl too. If it required Sins, then no one would be able to dominate others except those people from the Sin Kingdom. But it could also be the dominated person had 0 Virtues and the requirement only required 0 Sins.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| 'I should ask Lucy later, but I doubt she also knows that some requirements are needed to dominate other people. She only has the skill. It doesn't mean she has the knowledge to activate that skill successfully.'
Even if she checked her [Domination Crest] title, it would only give her the details of a bonus skill like my <Paladin Crest> and didn't specify the requirement to activate the skill successfully.
'It's different if she has 'Requirement Appraisal' like me, but I got that skill thanks to the Domination System. So I doubt anyone else has it.'
After donning my disguise, I walked down to the main street because this matter wasn't that important, and I didn't need to care about other people's personal lives. They could try to dominate other people if they wanted to, as long as they didn't touch my girls or mess with me.
I wore a black jacket, ripped black pants, and my hair was slicked back. A black earring in my left ear and an earring of communication connected to Sana were on my right. I got this one after talking about my plan with her yesterday.
If anything, I looked like a thug and a member of Raven's group right now. So no one glanced at me or even thought of me as the Paladin. The Succubi and other prostitutes trying to get customers also didn't try to call out for me.
That was, of course, except for the people who had seen me before.
At the end of the main street, I noticed a beautiful girl with short horns standing with her hands put together in front of her. She wore a sexy black dress, exposing her cleavage, with a deep slit on the side. Her soft, beautiful thigh seemed to invite someone to caress it.
I recognized her. She was the former leader of Succubi who immediately surrendered to serve Beatrice. If my memory served me correctly, her name was Melissa.
When she saw me, she bowed her head deeply. The other pedestrians looked confused but continued walking when they saw her horns. They probably thought she was just a prostitute that agreed to have a master-servant play with me.
"Lady Beatrice has been waiting for your arrival, Master." Her soft voice that could charm any man entered my ears, and I stopped in front of her.
"Show me the way."
"As your command, Master."
Raising her head, Melissa smiled seductively and turned around. Her fairly large breasts bounced, and her hips swayed as she began to walk like a top-tier model.
Because I had seen someone even more beautiful and had a better figure than Melissa, her seductive gesture didn't really affect me.
Once we arrived at the intersection that separated the outer part, inner part, and the area of the leaders, we took a left street toward the Vampire residence area. I already knew where I should go from my <Presence Detection>, but Melissa still explained to me nonetheless.
"The Vampire area has fewer people visiting due to their location away from the entrance, and there is almost no light in that area, unlike the Succubi and Beastkin area, where it is filled with prostitute houses. So after talking with Lucy, we decided to keep our prisoner in that place."
What she said made sense. The Beastkin area was used as an inn and lodging area. They had great service, and cute girls served the guests, so they were quite popular.
As for the Succubi area, that was where the high-class brothel was located, with beautiful girls willing to service all kinds of kink and fetishes. All leaders ran the center area. That was where I visited last time and had sex with Nina.
And the entrance was run by the Raven group, a human group with the most members among the others, and was now under Beatrice's rule.
"The ritual of turning the prisoner into a Vampire has already begun. It can be done quickly, thanks to your blood, Master."
Melissa turned her head around and smiled before she continued walking.
"My blood?"
What was the relationship between using my blood to turn that crazy girl into a Vampire faster? I didn't know much about Vampires and how they could turn others into one them through a certain ritual before. At least not before I got Beatrice's report, and she proposed the idea to me.
"Yes." Melissa nodded at my work.
"The ritual of making a human into a Vampire needs blood. The human needs to admit that the blood is delicious before she turns into a full Vampire, whether verbally or mentally. In fact, the Half-Vampire nun Lucy brought here had already turned into a full Vampire and saved her from being mad.
"So, to achieve that result faster from a human, Lucy fed the prisoner your blood. According to her, your blood is the most delicious blood she has ever tasted in her life."
"I see."
So it was like this.
Lucy used a skill to turn that crazy Princess into a temporary Vampire or her kin. Then to make that Princess into a full Vampire, she needs an agreement or some kind of recognition that she liked to drink blood and was a vampire.
To get that kind of agreement would be hard, especially with a human from the Virtue Kingdom that seemed to dislike Vampire Race due to their relation with Devil Race from the Sin Kingdom.
However… There was a kind of blood that was so delicious it was hard to refuse, even by Lucy's standards. And that was my blood.
How the ritual of turning someone into a Vampire was conducted was unknown to me, but I didn't need to know that either. What was important was the result.
"We've arrived, Master."
We stopped in front of the tallest building in the area, a five-story tall tower-like house with a cone-shaped roof.
The design reminded me of the building in those cultivation novels with its wall painted blood red. The ornamental design added beauty to the building; two large wooden doors stood tall at the entrance.
Pushing the door open, Melissa gestured for me to enter.
"They are on the highest floor, Master. Please follow me."
Melissa went toward the flight of stairs at the end of the room, at the end of the hallway. It was a spiral staircase connecting from floor to floor. Our destination was the top floor, and we stepped into the hallway and toward a certain room right after we reached the end of the staircase.
A blood-stained door stood tall at the end of the corridor where Melissa had taken me. The atmosphere surrounding it was also cold as if I was about to step into a torture chamber. But I knew that they were inside, and I changed my clothes into a pure white Paladin uniform and tidied my hair.
After seeing me changing clothes in a matter of seconds, Melissa looked surprised and intrigued. She bowed at me and opened the door, revealing a dark room inside.
"After you, Master."
"Alright."
I stepped inside, and the room was immediately lit by many magic lamps hanging on the brick wall.
"Your little Princess is ready, Master."
Standing near the door was Beatrice with an evil smile on her face, pointing at the middle of the room where a large red magic circle was drawn.
I turned around, looking at the middle of the room. Lucy was standing tall with her clothes and white hair covered in blood in front of someone.
At first glance, I didn't realize who that was. A girl in a bloodstained blue dress was kneeling, holding her face in horror. Her long hair was pure white, with fresh blood decorating it.
"No… I…"
A sob echoed in the room, and the source was the girl in front of Lucy. In front of her were two men lying lifeless with a pool of blood beneath them. I recognized them. They were the knights who ordered Sophia to retreat from that village.
Then my brain registered who that white-haired girl was after looking at my <Presence Detection> once again.
'So the ritual also changed her appearance slightly.' I thought in my mind. 'Interesting.'
