Chapter 191: Hello Father, Bye Father

-----

As the night went by, Clementina tortured the women that mercilessly slaughtered her mother out of pure jealously, killing their daughters horribly in front of them and then slowly cutting them into tiny pieces, making sure that they were alive up to the last bit.

After what seemed like an eternity for Clementina, she had exerted her revenge.

And she felt… oddly free.

It was as if bathing in their blood and making them scream in agony until the very last moment of their lives had made her feel incredibly relaxed now.

She felt as if a huge weight were lifted off her shoulders, it was as if she could even fly now.

The feeling of serenity she felt was… surreal.

Any ordinary person would immediately realize that she was probably a psychopath.

But weren't the ones she tortured and killed psychos too anyways? Except for their daughters… but the little whores were probably psychos in training anyways.

So Clementina didn't felt any sort of guilt, she had tortured and slaughtered scum that didn't even deserve to live, so she didn't felt particularly bad about it.

After seeing their frozen corpses for the last time, Noah and the rest finally entered the frozen room.

"How do you feel now, Clementina? Was this fulfilling? Was this what you wanted?" asked Noah.

"I don't really know if this was truly fulfilling nor what I wanted… but I did it anyways and I feel… very calm. Even relaxed," said Clementina.

"Oh, well that's what always happens when we kill assholes," said Noah.

"Indeed, like when I taught little Adamantine here how to be a good little dog," said Iris, petting Adamantine's head.

"Mistress pettings~," said Adamantine as she waved her tail made of shadows around.

"Yes, yes~ Who is the cutest little dog~?" said Iris, as she petted Adamantine as if she was really just the pet of the family…

"O-Oh, I see…" said Clementina.

"Well, I am glad you feel better. And… Oh? Look at that, some Ability Cores too… Here," said Noah, giving the four Ability Cores to Clementina.

"Eh? Me?" asked Clementina.

"Why not? You killed them, so therefore, they're yours, this is your prize, accept it and move on, Clementina. Your father awaits your reunion after so long," said Noah.

"Ah… You are right, Noah-sama…" said Clementina, grabbing the Ability Cores and saving them inside her Interdimensional Storage Ring.

Noah glanced at the frozen corpses, as he tried out if it could work even if the corpses were frozen.

"Rise," he said, activating Blood Soul Servant, as a flash of crimson light fell over the mushed up and frozen corpses.

A sudden burst of crimson light and phantasmal energies converged together, as the frozen corpses began to absorb the ice of the ambient…

"Eh? That's new…" said Iris.

"Oh? Interesting. Perhaps the way they die might affect what they become now… very interesting indeed… Now, merge," said Noah, as he merged the Blood Servants while they were still raising, combining them all into a giant figure…

The figure quickly stood up, resembling a large and tall knight made entirely out of frozen blood, possessing 8 Arms and 8 Legs, alongside 4 Heads that simply resembled statues, and a blade of frozen blood at each arm…

Ding!

[You have raised the [Blood Soul Servant: Multi-Armed Frozen Blood Knight: General Grade]!]

"Oho…" said Noah, rubbing his chin as he admired his new necrotic creation.

"Oh, I guess they can still be useful to you after death, Noah-sama…" said Clementina.

"Indeed they will… Now… How about Lust for a name? After all, they did this to you because they were jealous of your mother… Lusting over your father… A fitting name for the damned" said Noah.

Noah felt a small piece of his soul fuse with the Blood Servant made of Clementina's former stepmothers and stepsisters, giving it a slight boost to their power.

Ding!

[You have named the [Blood Soul Servant: Multi-Armed Frozen Blood Knight: General Grade] as [Lust]!]

"OooOOooOooOOOOoooooOHHHhhh…"

Lust left out a phantasmal and eerie groan, raising its large and upgraded frozen blood blades, it seemed that it didn't have the egos of the corpses and souls it was made of.

"An interesting specimen no less… Another General to the pile," said Noah, as Lust quickly jumped inside of his Inner Realm, stored there for the time being, while also using that time to greet the other Blood Servants.

"I am glad I could help you in the creation of a new General-grade Blood Servant, my lord," said Clementina politely.

"Now let's go see your father, Clementina…" said Noah, as his eyes flashed with crimson red light.

…

Joseph suddenly woke up dizzy.

He could swear that he had just recently become a B-Rank… and then drank some vodka.

Did he fell asleep while being drunk?

However, it was far from the truth.

He found himself tied by what seemed like slimy red tentacles, ad the stench of blood filled his nostrils, making him even dizzier.

Alongside that, there was a particularly chilly air in the ambient.

He couldn't help but wonder where he heck was…

He suddenly felt a strange itching sensation over his neck, as if something had punctured it, and then rubbed the wound until it infected and made it incredibly itchy…

"Ungh… Where am I?" he wondered, as his eyes seemed to have turned red out of the sudden and he felt as if his senses had sharpened by a tenfold.

"Hello, father…"

Suddenly, Joseph was startled by the voice of someone.

It was a bit different, but it was her…

"Clementina…" he said, as he glared in front of him, finding his daughter which he missed every day more beautiful than ever. She had become a vivid image of her mother and had matured into a fine young woman.

"I bit you because I still hold some concern for you. Albeit very faint, I want you to serve my lord," said Clementina.

"Your… lord?" asked Joseph, still quite dizzy.

"My lord is benevolent and accepts anyone as long as they are willing to work hard, but if you don't want to work hard that is also fine, as I will maintain you, you can live however you please as long as you stay safe and within our territory," said Clementina.

"Eh? What are you…? Clementina, why am I tied? What is going on? Why are your eyes… red?" asked Joseph.

"I have stopped being a human, father. I am now a Dhampir. And you too, are a Ghoul…" said Clementina.

"G-Ghoul…?" asked Joseph, realizing that the weird sensations and sharp senses he felt could be linked to whatever his daughter was speaking about.

"Your two wives and your two other daughters had been killed by me, I did this out of selfishness and without caring about your opinion over the situation… Albeit I know you would have opposed it. I don't care what you think of me, nor how you might feel after realizing that what I am saying is not a dream but reality, but I wish you a good life," said Clementina.

"W-What…?! You… No… My daughter, what nonsense are you talking about? Free me from here…!" said Joseph.

"Goodbye, father," said Clementina, walking away, as a large, red-colored skeletal hand touched Joseph's head from behind, the voice of an old man resonated through his ears.

"Hmm… What a fine brain… Time to parasitize youuuuu…"

"E-Ehh?! A-Aaagh! Aaaggghhh! Clementinaaaaaaaa…!"
