Vampires had different abilities, which they called gifts, or sometimes cursed. Their abilities were always been a double-edged sword; it could be harmful to them if they didn't handle it well. However, aside from that common fact, a vampire's ability had its variation and stages.

It was hard to guess a vampire's ability since most of them learned to hide the real nature of their abilities. Others, just like Zero, would go so far as to make his ability appear different from what it truly was.

Diversion had been a great war tactic. Therefore, one couldn't just fight with everything they have until they uncovered a vampire's ability's real nature.

For instance, Alphonse could occupy a person or an animal's body for as long as it was dead or almost on the brink of death. If Alphonse died inside that body, he could just easily hop to the next body that was available. However, the downside of that was that Alphonse's original body was vulnerable. If his body died, then Alphonse would also die.

It was the same for Zero. However, none of them knew the downside of his abilities. Yet. But what they were certain of was that Zero was a puppeteer. It was not necromancy and that... Alphonse was a hundred and ten percent certain of

"The Kraken was already old, residing deep in the ocean,' said Alphonse, keeping his eyes on the fierce battle between the legendary creature and Stefan. "The more you look at it, his attacks might be destructive and monstrous, but they're unnatural.

"Now that you mention it, you're right." Claude rocked his head in agreement. "Even its screams. sounded painful."

"Because it was in pain."NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

"Seriously. I don't have spare energy to get angry at Quentin anymore!" A deep exhale slipped

past Claude's nostrils, thinking that even a Kraken was being victimized and used by the twisted Zero. "Can you go there?"

"Pardon?"

"Down. Underwater: Alphonse slowly set his eyes on Claude. "I can go there, but I still have to get Stefan out of there. I need someone to cut the link."

"What the?"

"And I've read enough books about a Kraken," Alphonse backed up, throwing away the shame this question and answer brought. "Focus, Claude. Your life is on the line here. Take care.

Claude assessed Alphonse from head to toe before his eyes lingered on the latter's face. I lis lips curled up, biting his tongue to stop himself from laughing out loud.

"I am not joking, Claude" Alphonse's expression darkened as his voice sounded firmer. "This is not a laughing matter."

"I'm not laughing because you are giving me warnings based on books." Claude grinned mischievously. "I read the first book of Uncle Hell's book of adventures, and I know they were written based on his experience with a little bit of exaggeration. I am just not obsessed with his work, so I can only remember a part of it."

"I'm not saying it's bad or something I should laugh about, but it's just that you look funny," he added, pointing at Alphonse. "I really want to take you seriously, but your face just makes it a challenge."

Claude shook his head while laughing, trying to get a hold of himself. Ile stretched his arms, tilting his body from one side to the other.

"I just won't look at you, but lest worse comes to worst, tell the Divine Order to scatter and cleanse this land of the undead. That's the reason I came here, after all." Claude didn't idle as he jumped almost immediately, diving into the ocean to do what he was told to do.

Meanwhile, Alphonse stood motionless on his spot, staring at the ripples where Claude jumped into. He assumed what Claude said was just a part of the latter's playful nature. Thus, he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he lifted his eyes, only to see that the knights were almost there.
