Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey
Chapter 5 - Blood Art

"You are a fallen-angel now."

Emilia stared blankly at Nero. "Where did I fall?"

Nero's face-palmed himself. 'Is she an idiot?'

"Fallen angel means either you committed a crime and got exiled from the heavens, or getting banished from heavens," Nero shrugged his shoulders and brought his finger close to Emilia's lips. "They both are the same anyway."

Emilia opened her mouth and started sucking Nero's finger.

"Whoa!" Nero pulled his finger back and questioned to himself, 'She is still thirsty even after that?'

Emilia's vision got blurry. She blinked once and saw nothing but darkness. She then blinked again and found herself outside the chamber.

"What's going on?" She questioned.

She then saw her body lying on the ground and the floor covered with blood.

"This is my memory; What I saw after waking up."

She heard Nero's voice and looked to her right to see Nero standing beside her.

"Why are you here?"

"It's my memory, so of course I would be here to guide you, and besides…" He smirked and said, "I want to see your reaction when you replace out what happened."

"But why are we watching it like this? I thought it would like a dream or something."

"Sadly, no. The visions I see and show to others are the exact copy of what had originally happened. Moreover, we can see it as a third-person— without interrupting anything," Nero grinned and looked at Emilia, "Isn't that amazing?"

There were two copies of Nero and Emilia. One was watching everything, and the other pair was the memory.

Emilia pondered about the dream she had. 'What was that then? Why did I see that dream?' Emilia then looked at Nero and wondered. 'And why does he look so different? His appearance has changed so much.'

'In that dream, both he and his mother looked awfully close to a human. Not to say, his mother was beautiful. What happened to her after the knights caught her?'

Emilia couldn't help but wonder about the dream she had. She didn't even know why she had that dream, and even Nero wasn't aware of that.

When Emilia was pondering, the other Nero had already carried her body into the chamber.

"There he goes," Nero commented.

Emilia glanced at Nero and made a disgusting look on her face. "Would you mind staying away from me?"

"Say that to the person who carried your body in that room."

Emilia rolled her eyes and walked into the chamber.

There she saw blood floating in the air and moving in the direction where Nero was pointing his hand.

"How are you doing that?" Emilia asked.

"I can control the blood I touch."

"Even from inside someone's body?"

Nero nodded. "It is possible, but sadly, I don't know how to do that," he said with a distant smile on his face, "I never used my vampire power much before I was sealed. I was only dependent on magic and lived my life as a human."

Emilia then looked at her body getting naked. Her face flushed as she shot a glare at Nero. Nero noticed her glare and said, "Don't glare at me like that. Look," He pointed his finger at his copy, "I am saving your life."

Emilia jerked her head and saw the other Nero attaching her hands and healing her wound on the chest using her and his blood.

In less than a minute, Emilia's body was fully healed with no sign of any scars.

The other Nero then placed Emilia on the bed and covered her in a white blanket.

"See? I did nothing wrong." Nero claimed.

"Then what was that feeling and why is my…" Emilia moved her hand to her stomach. "It hurts."

"There is more. Please look."

The other Nero then stood in the middle of the room and stared at Emilia. He stared and stared. After staring for thirty minutes, he muttered, "Why isn't she waking up?"

He then walked to the bed and moved his hand towards Emilia's face. He then stretched-opened her eyes. "Hmm. I did save her body, but her soul is about to break."

Emilia couldn't take her eyes off the scene. Nero nudged his elbow to Emilia. "You were almost dead, you know?"

"Then how did you save me?"

Nero pointed his gaze at another Nero and said, "Keep watching."

The other Nero swiped his thumb on his finger, and it started bleeding. But, it soon stopped after forming a drop. He moved his finger towards Emilia's lips and inserted it in her mouth.

"Such soft lips," He said.

Hearing that, Emilia looked at Nero, who was trying to avert his gaze, and she commented, "And then you got excited and—"

"I didn't."

Even after that, Emilia didn't wake up.

"Hmm? Should I give her some more of my blood?" He cut his finger again, but this time, it kept bleeding.

He placed his finger on Emilia's lips, and the blood kept flowing into her mouth.

Nero stayed like that and fed her his blood for two hours.

"How much blood do you have?" Emilia asked as she looked at Nero with a creepy expression on her face.

"I want to ask 'How much can you drink?'. If I wasn't a vampire, you would have sucked me dry."

"Don't say words like that," Emilia's face flushed as she pushed Nero— although, he didn't even budge.

Suddenly, Emilia opened her eyes and grabbed Nero's hand. Her eyes were red, and they were shining.

"Why do my eyes look like that?"

"I have no idea. Your body just reacted to my blood."

"Are my eyes still red right now?"

"Nope. They are back to blue again."

The other Nero tried to shrug his hand, but Emilia didn't let go.

"Such power."

Emilia then sat up on the bed and pulled Nero to the bed. She pinned him down and started sucking his finger.

"Are you seeing that?" Nero glanced at Emilia.

Emilia was jaw dropped, and she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Why would I do something like that?"

"Maybe because you were thirsty?"

Emilia then got on top of Nero and sat on his chest.

"Do you want to see more and replace out what else did you do to me?"

Emilia shook her head violently.

"So are you convinced that I did nothing to you, and it was 'you' who did everything?" Nero wanted to make sure he doesn't get blamed later on for something he had never done.

Emilia nodded and said, "Please stop now. I don't want to see more."

Nero smirked and snapped his finger. Everything disappeared and went back to normal.

Emilia still couldn't believe what she saw. She walked to the bed and sat there, then held her head in her hands and muttered, "I can't believe my first time was like this."

Nero sighed and said with a pitiful expression on his face, "Because of that, my seal broke and my curse is active again."

Sigh~!

Nero sighed again.

Emilia looked at Nero with a murderous glare. "What seal? My seal is broken here!"

Nero made a confused face and asked, "You had a seal on yourself too?"

"I am talking about this!" Emilia looked at the bloodstain on the bedsheet. "This! This seal!"

'Wow! She is yelling like a dying goblin.'

"Anyway," Nero snapped and a robe covered his body. "Hmm…"

Nero snapped again, but this time, he was wearing proper clothes. The clothes were red and black, and it was attached with the black cape. The red color matched his eyes, and the black matched his pants.

"Better," he nodded.

Nero turned to Emilia with a solemn expression on his face. "So, do you remember what happened to you? And who left you to die?"

Emilia pondered as her head ached. "Yeah… I remember."

"I only saw some last moments when I drank your blood, so I don't know your entire story. Though still, I can only see memories in fragments so would you mind recalling it?"

Emilia stood up and nodded. And so, she started recalling her tale...
