Xero stood up from the ground and stared at Romeo as he grinned widely. His pupils were now red and his fangs were out. His hair had somehow elongated.
"You are vampire?" Xero said as he stepped back. Then he noticed that everyone on this roof were vampires.
He also noticed the dead bodies scattered across the roof. Blood soaked everywhere and the stench was irritating. Xero wondered if those were humans or vampires dead.
He looked back to see that Tenny had snapped the head of his prey and instead of drinking the blood, he simply kicked him towards the others.
’What the hell is that? Is he really a vampire?’ Xero wondered.
Romeo cracked his neck and knuckles before turning to the remaining six students on the ground.
"Kill them. I hate to see imposters." Romeo said and dashed towards Xero but Xero saw through his speed, he sidestepped and knocked him against the neck, forcing him to crash against the ground.
Xero then moved backwards. He flexed his fingers lightly and stared at Romeo. The last time they fought, the earth guy had interrupted their fight but now, he would face him squarely.
Romeo turned back and motioned his hands towards him. Suddenly, a beam of light shot at Xero. The blazing shot grazed against Xero’s cheek as he quickly dodged the attack.
Xero quickly dashed towards him in that instant, completely flaunting Romeo’s calculations. He side kicked him, the attack shot him towards one of the vampires.
He then put his hands against the pool of blood. It was time for him to test his skill. He hadn’t tried it since he got it after the entrance exam.
"Blood Scythe." He muttered to himself.
[Skill Activated: Blood Scythe.]
Suddenly the blood began to ripple violently. Then it began hurl upwards until the blood wrapped around Xero’s hands.
The vampires stared at him in shock as they watched him control the blood until it formed a long sword in his hands.
"What the hell is that?" A vampire asked.
"Never heard of anyone able to control blood."
"Ditch that. I’m killing him now." Romeo said and dashed at extreme speed towards Xero.
As he got closer to him, Xero swung the sword at him but he dodged it quickly. Then he went for an overhead kick but he saw the sword slicing through his leg in an instant.
His feet fell to the ground and he screamed in agony as he saw his feet a few meters away from him. He gasped in shock as he looked up to see the death glare on Xero’s face.
"What the hell was that?" He said as he gasped in horror. Xero only grinned lightly.
"I will be the last thing you see before returning to hell you impotent bastard." Xero said as a deadly aura flared through his body.
"No. Kill him!!" Romeo said.
Two vampires cornered him from both sides but Xero sliced through the stomach of the first one ruthlessly without any thought of holding back. Then he let the sword grind up to the head of the vampire before catching the second vampire mid flight.
He quickly deactivated the skill and began to choke him in the spot. The vampire struggled for breath but Xero showed no mercy. A faint smile appeared on his lips as the Scythe formed in his right hand.
He stabbed through the vampire numerous times until his body was leaking blood like a sponge. Then he threw him over to the ground.

He grinned lightly and turned to glare at Romeo who was struggling to get on his foot. His eyes darted in fear.
"Back to my meal." Xero said as he walked slowly towards him.
Romeo tried to move backwards but he collapsed on the ground as his right foot failed to carry his weight.
"Look how pathetic you are. Just what do I call this?" Xero said and stood over him.
"Ple..please. I’m sorry. What are you? I’ll give you whatever you want." Romeo pleaded but Xero seemed to be irritated by his pleas.
He stabbed his right leg and Romeo screamed in agonising pain. Xero chuckled lightly.
"Call me the Murderer." He said and with that light grin, he sliced off his neck before Romeo could speak.

Xero stared at the numerous notifications and chuckled lightly. He had grown exponentially after killing just three persons. If he continued to kill at this rate he would definitely be extremely powerful.
The thought of this brought a sinister smile to his face.
"Xero? Is that you?" Tenny asked as he walked towards him.
Xero quickly turned to him. His eyes were still red and so were his fangs. Xero knew he was a vampire but he couldn’t explain why he wasn’t like the others.
"Yes. I’m the one." He said at last.
Suddenly Tenny smiled before his body shrieked back to normal. Just as he was about to collapse, Xero rushed in to catch him.
He looked around the roof but everyone was dead except the both of them. He shrugged a little not understanding why they were all sent here.
Suddenly the door opened and Silas walked in. His eyes scanned through the whole perimeter, shocked at his findings.
’What the hell? Did they manage to survive that? Even Romeo is dead?’ He wondered and his eyes met Xero’s.
A dense aura washed over him. And from Silas sight he could see the amount of energy he possessed. A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Turns out you truly aren’t as normal as I expected." Silas muttered before opening the door to leave then he paused.
"You both can leave. But remember that they will come back for you. You must remember that. That boy has a crucial piece to the vampires and of they are able to get him, only the darkest minds know what will happen."
With that he left and the door was wide open. Xero stared at the door thinking to himself.
That was definitely a warning. And who was he talking about that had them on their backs. Was it Dutch? Or was there a bigger picture?
He sighed lightly. Whatever it was, he would face it head on. He had no reason to back off now. Not after killing someone.
