Plundering in the Apocalypse



Inside Alice's room.

After Aurora and Emily went to Alice's room, they didn't sleep just yet, instead they sat opposite each other intending to discuss.

Breaking the silence, Emily was the first to speak.

"Are you sure about this, my lady?"

"About what?" Aurora asked.

Emily changed her vague words and asked again, "Is it okay to befriend them just because of their death feud with their clan? After all, they have the same blood. Aren't they involved in your revenge?"

It wasn't that Emily didn't want to befriend them or was against it. It's just that it was rather surprising for her that Aurora, who was always bent on blood bonds, didn't care about their blood and decided to ally with them. So she couldn't help but ask out her doubts.

Understanding what Emily meant, Aurora nodded with a sigh and said.

"You are right. It if was previously I wouldn't have allied with them regardless of their hatred for their clan."

"They why?"

"It's just that I talked with Alice."

After that, Aurora started sharing the content of her talk with Alice. When Emily heard about Alice's past. She was silent. She didn't know what to say.

"So this made me wonder. Whether the bond of blood is really stronger than any other."

At Aurora's explanation, Emily nodded her head in understanding.

'No wonder she reacted this way.'

"So about Shin's plan."

Aurora didn't wait for Emily to finish her words and said.

"Yeah, I plan to go with it."

"So, are we going to join their guild?"

"Yeah." Aurora nodded and asked back, "Do you think it's a trap?"

Shaking her head, Emily denied her words and said, "It's not that. I just think that Shin's purpose was to make us join his guild from the very start."

When Aurora heard Emily's words, a slight smile appeared on her face. "Well, you are right about that."

"Then-"

"But does it matter?"

Emily swallowed her words back when she heard Aurora's question.

"What we want is revenge, so it doesn't matter if we join his guild or not. Moreover, you should be very well experienced in Shin and Alice's strengths."

When Emily heard Aurora say this, she immediately remembered the battles they fought together. Indeed, whether it's Shin or Alice. Both of them are very strong.

"Even with my queen rank physique. It might be a bit difficult to survive her Soul Bomb attacks unscathed."

"And both of them are awakeneds who received their abilities just a month ago. With their growth speed, do you think they will be weak in the future?"

"Miss, what rank do you think their abilities are?" Although Emily isn't an awakened, she is well informed about the knowledge regarding awakeneds.

After a moment of thought, Aurora murmured. "... I don't think Alice's ability rank is any less than mine."

Emily was a little surprised. Then she heard Aurora continue.

"You should know how compatible I am with my Blood Warlock ability. Even then, when I fought against her. She was able to suppress my attacks easily."

Though both of them held back their true power then. It still doesn't stop Aurora from making speculation.

"Also, the energy she used always gave me a dangerous feeling."

Emily also nodded her head, thinking that Alice's purple-black energy was very similar to the crimson-black demonic energy.

"What about Shin?" Emily asked curiously, wondering about Aurora's thoughts about him. His power is a mystery to her which she doesn't understand.

"Shin, hmm." Hearing Shin's name, Aurora showed a difficult expression on her face. If you ask one word to describe him as a person. She would have only one answer.

"Weird..."

"Hmm?" Emily didn't hear her soft murmur.

"I'd say he is a weird person. I still don't understand why would he react like that after I made such a deadly sneak attack on him."

"We are just strangers to him. If someone who I barely know attacks me, of course, I'll treat them as enemies and directly kill them. But for some reason, he didn't. Instead, he reacted quite passively. At first, I thought that might be his personality. But after I got to know him a little. I don't think that's it. With his personality, he won't hesitate to kill someone who is against him."

Then she looked into Emily's eyes and said, "You saw what happened to that Alice's imposter, right?"

Emily nodded, looking a bit thoughtful as she said, "Then is it possible that he had some information about us beforehand? Which made him act with us so friendly."

When Aurora heard Emily's words, her eyes narrowed as she nodded her head. "It might be possible. He has a lot of strange powers, so there's still a possibility."

"Speaking of his ability. Don't you think it's weird?" Emily asked.

"Of course it is. I still don't understand how he can use so many different types of attacks." Aurora immediately retorted.

"I just don't understand what kind of ability will let him use in such a variety of ways."

When Aurora heard Emily's murmur, her eyes narrowed sharply, "Is it possible he has more than one ability?"

Emily laughed as if Aurora were joking. "No way, that's-" Then stopped midway as she thought back on all the battle scenes. As she seriously said, "It's entirely possible."

"If all those attacks are because of different abilities, then what just kind of freak is he?" Emily mumbled with her eyes widened.

"See? And such a freak wants to be our friend. Should we reject him and become his enemy, or rather, be a friend?"

Emily gulped and subconsciously answered, "It's better to be his friend."

Aurora expected Emily's answer to be like that, so she continued.

"That's why by joining their guild we won't lose anything. Rather, it will be beneficial for us." Then she paused and said, "Of course, if he goes back on his plan or obstructs us from our revenge. Then we do not need to cooperate with him. We will naturally fall out."

Emily agreed with Aurora's words and then asked a question that stunned Aurora.

"What happens after we complete our revenge?"

Aurora didn't know what to say for a while. Because this was something she never thought about. Emily naturally saw Aurora's embarrassment, so she decisively changed the conversation topic.

"My lady, I think we should sleep for a while. I'll sleep on the sofa."

Aurora nodded her head as Emily walked up to the sofa.

"!"

Suddenly, they felt a slight tremor, which made them vigilant.

Aurora jumped up and stood vigilantly with her back facing Emily's back. Emily was the same.

Both of them activated their vampire senses in full to sense their surroundings and search for the source of the tremor.

Suddenly, both of them looked upwards in unison.

"It's coming from upstairs."

"But what is it?"

"My lady, try focusing on your hearing sense. With your physique, it might not be impossible."

Aurora nodded at Emily seriously, then closed her eyes to focus on all the sounds coming from upstairs.

But a few seconds later, her entire face turned red.

Emily looked at her in worry.

"My lady, are you okay?"

Aurora nodded her head reassuringly and said. "I'm fine. It's nothing. Let's sleep."

Although Emily was confused, she didn't question Aurora's words and slept on the sofa.

As for Aurora, she was looking at the ceiling with gritted teeth and murmured. "Abominable."

'They are so shameless.'

Remembering Alice's voice, which she heard just now, made her face redden in embarrassment. Although Aurora is still a pure girl at heart. She still knows what the voice she heard just now meant.

But this also made her wonder. Whether the pleasure Alice is feeling is better than the taste of Shin's blood?

As soon as that thought crossed her mind. Aurora shook her head immediately.

'What are you thinking? You have no time to think about such things, Aurora. Your parent's murderers are still alive. Your revenge is still incomplete.'

Aurora reminded herself again and again. But Alice's moaning voice was still stuck inside her mind.

So out of curiosity, she raised her vampire hearing senses to the highest and eavesdropped on their acts, which she called shameless just now.

Although Aurora was shy at first, she didn't know why she felt rather excited listening in on them. She felt her body getting hot. Which she blamed on her hunger for blood.

'Eh? Am I hungry again? I'll try to ask Shin for his blood tomorrow. Yeah, now I'll be a part of his guild. For compensation, I can ask for his blood.' Aurora felt her idea was quite reasonable.

Emily, on the other hand, didn't hear anything wrong. But sleeping on the sofa was very uncomfortable for her.

'Uhh, the first thing I'll do later is to search for a good hotel.'

As her eyes fell in Aurora's direction, a small smile appeared on her face.

'Lady Aurora didn't deny them as her friends. Does that mean she is finally willing to open up after all these years?'

'I'm sure Master Louis and Lady Claire will be happy.'
