"Come again, missy~," Cu Chulainn said to the female customer as he handed her the flower pot. A little bit of flirty tone, but if that was good for the business, why not? The customer seemed happy as well. She left with a big smile. Plus Karna was too stoic to smile to the customers like Cu did. So it was even better.
Karna was cutting the thorns off the roses when Cu turned on the small TV at the corner of the shop. It was the time for their favorite anime 'HEROM' to start. Karna and Cu had been fans of this series since the manga, so they were really hyped when it got animated series.
"Oi! It's starting!" Cu quickly took a chair and sat in front of the TV, even though there was no need to sit right in front of the TV. Vampires had no sight problem unless they are starved. Karna could just watch it from behind the counter while he does his job. Cu was just too hyped.
Like Karna, Cu was also a pureblood vampire. Age wise he was slightly younger than Karna. Two of them get along very well. Unlike other purebloods who used their birth as power, both Cu and Karna prefer normal peaceful lives.
The anime was on the climax when a customer entered. Cu was too serious on the anime so Karna had to take it. "Can I help you?"
She was a high scool student from the Z-private school. Her name was Ushiwakamaru. She needed some flower petals for the school stage play. Inquiring for the price, she called the stage coordinator. Apparently, their budget wasn't that much. "Sorry. We don't have that kind of funds." She said as she bowed and left. Being highschoolers was hard.
So the episode ended and Karna missed most of it except for the OP and ED. Then Cu switched to the news channel. There were some news. The first one was about 1st months since Queen Anastasia's coronation. And then there was another one:
"The 14-years-old genius, Galahad had driven Pureblood Siegfried away without letting any of his team member die. An amazing achievement for such an age."
Karna's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that name. That forest where Siegfried would come to see Karna was this town. Back then when Siegfried stopped coming, the humans were expanding their land and that was years ago.
Karna never stopped waiting. He had always been here for the sake of Siegfried coming back. But deep down in his heart, Karna had given it up. He thought Siegfried had died. Karna didn't expect his name to be spoken by the reporter. Did Siegfried really leave him that day?
Cu noticed the shift of Karna's mood. Karna felt very tense mixed with sadness. "What's wrong, oi?" Cu asked as he looked behind to his good friend. Concern was clear on Cu's face
"Siegfried...?" Karna murmured under his breath.
"Ha..? Well, I was suprised too. I thought he was dead." Cu said as he lowered the TV volume. "Nobody has heard about him for almost 300 years. And suddenly he's back," Cu flipped his body and rested his chin on the chair seat. "What? Do you know him personally?"
Karna nodded. "Ah, but I haven't seen him for a long time."
Cu was surprised at that. "Seriously? That Siegfried is kinda one of those ancients pureblood right? How the hell did you even know him?"
The ancients pureblood. They were called like that because they already existed before the 10th century. Who knows how old they really were, but they were something like legend themselves even to the vampires.
Karna had lived for almost for 300 years and that was still young if compared to the ancients. If Siegfried was still alive, then there were three ancients still alive in this world. The other two being Gilgamesh and Ozymandias.
Karna frowned. Siegfried was still the old Siegfried he knew. The fact that none of the hunters died proven that. Karna knew how strong Siegfried was and hunters were a joke to him. He must had let them live because of his compassion towards humans.
"Oi, Karna," Cu called Karna, who seemed to be lost in his own mind. "Oi, Karna, you there?" Cu had to get up and hit Karna's shoulder to wake him up from his thoughts.
Karna looked at Cu with a puzzled face. "Sorry, what did you say?"
"What's wrong with you? You're dozing off too much."
Karna shook his head. "I'm fine," Karna said as he finished up the cuttings. "Sorry..."
.
.
.
.
That night Karna decided that he wanted to see Siegfried. To ask Siegfried directly why he stopped seeing him. And there was only one person that Karna could seek for information.
"Eh? What? Why are you looking for him?" Merlin asked, face colored by disbelief as Karna asked him where Siegfried was.
"Do you know where he is?" Karna asked, answering a question with another one. Merlin put a small glass wine in front of Karna and poured him a little bit of blood-wine. It smelled good. Karna could smell that this blood was probably a human baby's or something close. Thinking about it made Karna's stomach sick. Karna pushed that glass away. "Tell me what you know."
"Well, I kinda know... But I don't recommend you see him you know," Merlin said as he rested his chin on the bar and looked up to Karna who sat there. "He's in hunter's top list, you know? You'll get killed, you know? Just because you're a bit strong doesn't mean you can fight off those hunters..."
"Where is he?" Karna asked to the point.
Seeing Karna not drinking the blood, Merlin picked the glass and drink it himself. The taste of a newborn was good. "I can't give the information for free~" Merlin then said. He grinned at Karna.
"Blood huh?" Karna was about to raise his arms to cut himself. But Merlin made him stop.
"That too, but more than that, I want to know why you want to see him." Merlin said. He walked out from behind the bar and sat beside Karna. "What is your connection to him?"
Karna didn't understand why Merlin would like to know that. It wasn't anything special. "He's an old friend."
"Eh? Only that?"
"Ah," Karna nodded.
Merlin pouted. "Tch... boring. I thought you two had a history together or something." He said as he pulled out his phone. He opened maps and show it to Karna. "He's at this city," Merlin said as he pointed on the map.
"I see," Karna nodded.
"But you need to know a lot of the hunters are there. All the routes were closed. If you go in there, it'll be hard to get out." Merlin explained as he tested his chin with his hand. "Plus that Galahad is in there too. If you meet him, you're a goner."
That genius 14-years-old Vampire killer. He had been a hot news lately. Sure his battle with Siegfried made him famous. But before that, he was already quite well known in the vampire community. He had killed many of them. Once he decided his target, none shall escape. If he was already this dangerous as a teen, Karna wondered how much worse he could be when he matured up.
As Merlin said, all the transportation routes in and out that city were blocked. The only way to enter was to sneak in by foot. And that was what Karna will do.
Merlin handed the glass from earlier. "My payment please~," he said while smiling innocently.
"Hmph," Karna snorted. He didn't like the what they did to a baby. Killing a baby simply to enjoy its blood was too much. But there were many vampires who would do that. Mainly for for their taste bud. But now, Karna shall pay the price. He raised his hand, bit on his own hand, and dripped his blood into the glass.
After the glass was filled, Merlin drank it. "Thank you for the meal~," he said.
Pureblood's was delicious by default, and it was very effective in strengthening own's body. Prolonging lifespan was possible if a turnblood could get a lot of pure's blood.
Karna didn't exactly know how old Merlin was, but he guessed Merlin should be the same age or older than him. The all-knowing halfling, Merlin, was a bit of enigma. Nobody knew where he came from, or what he wanted to do. He was simply there when it was convenient.
"Karna," Merlin said after he finished licking the glass. Karna turned back from the door and looked at Merlin. "Don't die~ I still want your blood."
To be honest, Karna didn't really care if he got killed. Death might be bad, but living wasn't that good either. Especially when he was almost 300 and he has no real living reason. Simply living because he wasn't dead yet. Not that he hated living, but if he dies today, he had no regrets. And Karna's destination was clear.
.
—
.
Karna wore a leather hoodie jacket. He covered his face with a scarf from nose bridge to below. Because once the hunters saw his face, he wouldn't be able to return to his daily life. He would be in the list by then.
"I can only follow you till here," Cu said as he stopped at the city's outskirts. He didn't like the idea of Karna going there. But he didn't want to risk himself either. Karna did tell Cu that he did nothing wrong, but still it left a bad taste in his mouth. "You're don't have to do this you know?"
Karna who was a few steps away from Cu smiled to his friend. Karna was really glad Cu was so concerned about him. He was a good friend. "Thank you, but I will be fine," Karna said, assuring his friend. Though it was partially a lie. But at least he had something he really wanted to do now. To see Siegfried, to ask him directly why he never came to see him anymore.
Cu sighed as he opened his phone. "Seems like you won't be able to contact outer world once you go in." Cu said, he added a bit chuckled at the end. His phone signal was totally gone. The hunters had jammed all signal to isolate the city to prevent communication with the outside.
Karna smiled once, "I don't use phones." Karna said and then he started to walk into the city.
.
.
What Karna realized as he stepped into the city was the horror. There were many vampires presence there, and yet none was out to be seen. Everyone was hiding. For one reason, and Karna knew they were doing the right thing.
Karna ran in the dark streets. The streetlight was on but it was dim because of the age. Siegfried, where are you?
Karna explored the city for some time. The night wind was cold and the moon as on the top. If Siegfried was really here, then they were looking at the same moon.
Karna had it easy at first. No, it was on purpose. The hunters had let him walk into the heart of the city. Because now he was surrounded by some of them.
Karna was really glad he didn't have to see the genius killer on his first encounter. Mainly because he didn't like such a young child was made into killings. Children weren't supposed to do dirty jobs like this. Also chances of him dying if he met Galahad was quite high.
Now Karna had to think. How to escape this? There are three, no, four hunters. Two in front of me, one at the rear, one... more where? Karna couldn't find the last one despite if sensing the presence.
"Surrender now and it will be painless." The blonde, Artoria woman spoke. Her sword was ready in her hand.
Not now. Karna had yet to see Siegfried, he couldn't die now.
Karna started running. He had to escape. Karna didn't want to kill the hunters though. He wanted to finish this nicely.
The hunters started to attack him. Artoria aimed her sword at him, but Karna's forte was his speed. That took a toll on his stamina instead. He'd rather run away rather than sticking on a long fight. But that first swing was a 100% evaded swing.
"Oi! He is a pureblood!" Lancelot yelled the oblivious. No turnbloods could move on that speed.
"Tristan!? Are you done!?" Artoria asked.
"Ready."
Then bullets were shot, Karna evaded all of them perfectly. But when he wanted to run even further, he realized he couldn't.
Strings!?
His legs were restrained by many strings. Did they make him run around for this? Tch. No choice. Karna pulled his leg off the strings, causing him to bleed.
The strings weren't to stop him. It was to delay him. When he pulled his legs, his movement was delayed for a brief moment.
And Karna was shot multiple times at his back. Because they couldn't aim if he kept running.
Then the burning pain hit Karna's back. It was not the usual bullet. It melted inside him. Special bullets!? Karna knelt down for a second in pain as he gritted his teeth, trying to hold down his voice.
Special bullets took too many resources and time to heal, they would lower Karna's overall abilities now that he had been shot with them.
But Karna must continue, he got up and continued moving despite the burning pain.
The pain that was on his back, now spread into his whole body. "Khhh!"
.
.
.
Arjuna was standing on the building roof, he watched as his squad members fought.
"Tristan, 3'clock" Being on top and the field watcher, Arjuna could easily control the flow of the battle.
"Alright," Tristan replied.
As soon as the vampire was stuck in the strings, Arjuna spare no time. He shot the five round s-bullets into the back of that vampire.
"Captain, please lead that vampire to the alley on your right." Arjuna said via the microphone hanged from his ears.
"Understood."
Everything was according to Arjuna's expectation. He would eliminate that vampire. Kill a vampire a day, less tragedy in the world. And if he's a pureblood, the better.
Arjuna would treat himself a drink once he killed that monster.
.
.
.
Being chased by the hunters, Karna was desperate for an escape route. A dark small alley between the buildings was right over there.
It seemed like a perfect escape route. It seemed like that because it was made that way.
As soon as Karna stepped his foot there. He stepped on a string. And it led to an explosion.
His legs were done. They were gone. Simply because it got destroyed by the planted grenade's impact. And without legs, Karna couldn't run.
He would need minutes to regenerate barely working legs. There was no way out. Karna cursed himself for falling right into hunters' trap. He had imagined that the hunters would be around the city when he first came in here. But he never thought that it would be so fast for him to be ended.
Sorry, Siegfried.
But the awaited death didn't come. Karna looked back and he saw a huge figure there. Karna's eye widened. He knew that person. "...Siegfried?"
Artoria pointed her sword at Siegfried. But she was trembling. The presence of this pureblood was filled with so much hostility and bloodlust. Siegfried was too much to handle. And only with four members, there wouldn't have a chance. Especially not with when Galahad wasn't with them. They would be slaughtered by this ancient pureblood.
The fact that they were still alive and standing now was because the pureblood was tolerating them.
"Captain... please withdraw," Arjuna's voice from her ear set. "We have no chance."
Arjuna was right. They need to withdraw. "Fine. Let's withdraw." She agreed. Same goes with the Lancelot and Tristan. None of them were reckless enough to dare attack Siegfried with this number.
Siegfried faced the wounded man. He quickly picked him up, but also gently. Those big hands were warm and safe. Siegfried never changed.
"I've finally found you..." Tears were flowing from Siegfried's right eye. He smiled very sad.
Siegfried wanted more time for his reunion, but now, they had to leave. Because the smell of Karna's blood was spreading fast. It would be attracting vampires, and hunters would be back soon.
Siegfried started to run with the wounded pale man in his arms.
.
.
.
.
Siegfried had been staring at the unconscious man in the dark in the closed room for some time. Siegfried was worried because Karna was in pain, he groaned in his sleep. Of course, any vampire would be in pain after being shot five rounds of s-bullets. That thing was just too painful.
Thankfully Karna was strong enough to withstand all those bullets and that explosion. Normal vampires would have died with only those bullets. S-bullets' main perks were that, after it melted and spreads in the body, it slowed down the regenerative abilities of vampires, making them more vulnerable to the next attack. Also, it was very painful that it usually rendered most vampires unable to move. Karna's pain tolerance was too high.
Siegfried was very glad that Karna was strong. Siegfried instantly knew it was Karna when he smelt the blood. Siegfried instantly rushed to the source. When he arrived, Karna was already down with his legs gone. Thankfully he made it in time. It was really dangerous. If he was to arrive a few seconds later, Karna would had been killed.
Karna's legs were back. The wounds from the shots were healed. Maybe except for the s-bullets that were still in his system. It would take some time for the body to neutralize the foreign object that entered his body. Siegfried sighed in relief that his sun was fine.
Karna woke up feeling the gaze. Though he didn't felt particulary threatened. Karna found himself under covers. He was on a bed, and his clothes had been changed. He had been treated so well for the whole time he was unconscious.
And there was Siegfried who sat next to him on a chair.
"Siegfried?" Karna looked up to the man. Siegfried's gaze was filled with kindness and nostalgic feeling. Though his smile looked like he wanted to cry.
"If you said so, then I must really be Siegfried," Siegfried said. Since he lost his memories, Siegfried didn't remember much of his life. All he remembered was that he was a traveler, and he was on his way to visit someone. Someone who was so precious to him. He had forgotten his journey and his past. He didn't even remember his own name. Not that he had a problem with that, well, he did. It was quite awkward when people asked for his name. But then there were a lot of people who knew him, and they all called him Siegfried. So that must be his name. And this person also called him with that name, so he must be Siegfried. "What is your name?" Siegfried asked.
Karna looked in a puzzled expression. He stared at Siegfried for a few seconds in silence. Finally understanding why Siegfried stopped his visits. "You... don't remember?"
Siegfried nodded. "My head got destroyed. I lost most of my memories." He explained as he touched the part of his head that got destroyed. "All I remember was that you were waiting for me." Siegfried smiled in pain as he reminded himself of the painful experiences. "I never stopped searching for you... It was so hard that I had almost given up so many times."
"I see," Karna then smiled, he was glad that Siegfried didn't stop his visits because he didn't like Karna anymore. But this also saddened Karna. It meant Siegfried had been living for this 300 years without knowing him, and yet keep searching for him. Karna felt he must answer that feelings and dedication that was pointed to him. "My name is Karna." He said and breathed out. "I'm happy to have you back."
Karna's body was still hurting from the bullets but it wasn't something he couldn't tolerate. He used his arms to sit up, Siegfried helped him by pushing his back. "Thank you," Karna thanked Siegfried.
After almost 300 years, Siegfried had expected Karna to forget about him. Or maybe mated with someone else. Siegfried was a bit sad when he thought about Karna being single for the whole time. But he was also happy, and deep inside his heart, relieved that Karna was still on his own. The alpha inside him was so glad. Though if in any case, Karna was already taken. Siegfried would still love him the same way as he does now. For Karna was more than just his love interest. Karna was his life reason, his sun, his identity after he forgot his own.
Siegfried couldn't describe how happy he was. He was so happy that he just wanted to hug Karna and never let him go. But Siegfried didn't do that. Because firstly, he needed the permission. "Karna," Siegfried said, smiling as he closed his eyes. His heart was so warm when he called out to that name. "Can I pat you?"
Karna felt a bit weird. Siegfried used to pat him a lot when he was a teen. But that was like long ago, and Karna was not really used to physical contact after that. But this was still his Siegfried. "Ah," Karna nodded, giving his ok.
Siegfried's smiled so proudly. Even though Karna didn't know why he was so proud just because Karna let him pat on his head. Siegfried raised his hand, and slowly touched Karna's head. Slowly and gently feeling that spiky hair, yet soft and silky. He closed his eyes. Enjoying that feeling.
And a few minutes had passed, he was still doing that. Not that Karna had a problem with that, but he just didn't understand what was so fun with patting him. But Siegfried looked so happy and content. So all Karna did was staring at Siegfried's face while he enjoy rubbing on Karna's hair. Karna felt like he was a kid. Well, he was something like a kid if compared to Siegfried who had lived so long.
Realizing he had rubbed to long, Siegfried pulled his had away. He smiled awkwardly. "Sumanai," he apologized. "I was feeling nostalgic." He said. When he touched Karna's head, it felt like he was filling the hole in his chest.
"Ah," Karna said, chuckling. "You used to do that a lot."
"I see." It made sense. No wonder I feel so nostalgic. I used to do it a lot. But it wasn't enough. Siegfried still wanted more. He wanted to hug Karna, to hold his hands, to touch his face, to bite him, to bed him. But the last two were a bit extreme so they had to wait. For now, he'd settle with that head pat... not really. He wanted a hug so badly. So Siegfried asked for it, with a bit fearful that he would be rejected. "Can I hug you?"
Karna blinked twice. "Ah, sure," Karna said slowly. Siegfried was being overly polite. Siegfried used to just hug him whenever he wanted. Losing his memories had returned all their interaction bar to zero. Though Karna was glad that Siegfried still retained his personality.
Siegfried's body was a lot bigger that Karna's. He was a 190 cm giant after all. Everyone would be small compared to him. Especially Karna who was had a slender body. Siegfried pulled Karna into an embrace. Karna's head was on Siegfried's chest. He could listen to that heartbeats closely, and they were fast. Siegfried's embrace was warm, and it felt very safe in his arms. And they stay that way for another couple of minutes.
Karna couldn't help to feel that Siegfried's attachment to him was a bit too much after these years. Normally people won't even remember their friends from a few years ago. And Siegfried was so happy that he got to hug Karna Siegfried is like a giant...dog? If he had a tail, then he would be wagging them like crazy.
Honestly, Siegfried still wanted to hug longer. But he didn't want to bother Karna with his sentimentality. But after the hug, Siegfried still wanted more. He tried to hold that desire, but he just couldn't. "Karna, can I hold your hands?"
Karna found it funny. He raised up his right hand, and Siegfried grabbed it with both of his. That was Karna's answer. Siegfried's hands were so big and so warm. Siegfried looked at Karna's hand. That slender fingers were sensual. The skin was so pale, very much different from his own tan.
Siegfried wasn't sure if he had ever told Karna his feelings. So he wanted to express them now. He wanted his feelings to reach his sun. "Karna," Siegfried paused and looked up to Karna's face. His eyes were looking straight to Karna's. "I don't know if I ever tell you this before...But I love you."
Karna looked down to Siegfried's grip on his. No one had ever told him that except for his foster mother. But that made sense. Siegfried was looking for him the whole time because he was in love with him. Karna's lips formed a smile. "If that's what you want from me, then I will have to answer that." Karna said. His chest felt warm. Siegfried's feelings had made his life so meaningful. "I accept your feelings, Siegfried."
Siegfried felt he was truly blessed. He raised Karna's hand and kissed it. "Thank you."
"There is something I want to tell you," Karna said as he smiled. "You once asked me if I want to travel with you."
Siegfried didn't know that. He didn't remember that. "Sumanai, I don't remember that."
"I know," Karna nodded. "But I just want to say it, I want to go with you."
Siegfried's heart vibrated in joy. His journey of searching had ended. Now he had a new one, and this time he was no longer alone.
.
.
.
.
.
Karna left the room and found out they were actually in an abandoned building near the river. And there were so many vampires here. All hiding from the hunters.
"Lord Siegfried!" The vampires called in joy.
For them, Siegfried was their savior. He had saved them all from the massacre and hid them here. Protecting them under his wings. There were some he was unable to save and was killed in the purge, but he had saved the people here. Karna was sure there were 78 vampires here.
But aside from Siegfried, their attention was also taken by Karna. They just found it strange to see a pureblood that wasn't an alpha. Omegas were pretty rare already, but pureblood that was an omega was just peculiar. Though Gilgamesh's mate Enkidu was an omega pureblood, he was the only one that was ever recorded in history.
The vampires circled around Siegfried. They were talking to him, telling him about the situation. Thanking him for saving them from the purge. He even give them his own blood for the wounded vampires so that they could heal and survive.
Siegfried was a great hero.
.
.
Karna spent two days there, knowing the people Siegfried had saved. They mostly were weak vampires. Those who weren't suited for combat, they probably had lived their whole life mingling in human society, working a human job, a living like a human. The only difference was that they drink human blood for living.
There were a few of them that was interested in Karna. But there was one who was super active in getting close to Karna. This alpha must be attracted to Karna.
"Karna-san," the alpha, Robin Hood called. He was totally hitting on Karna, even in the dire situation. "I'll give you my blood!" He said in a good tone.
"I'm fine," Karna politely refused. "I don't need it."
"Really? But you gave some blood to the others," Robin raised his brows. "You should take some you know."
Karna did gave some of his blood as well. Siegfried did gave them his blood for healing but that wasn't enough to return them to their best condition. So Karna offered his as well. "I'm fine, thank you for your offer."
Siegfried had just returned from his patrol outside and was watching them talking. He didn't like it when other alphas talking so flirty with Karna. Siegfried was jealous. But jealously was an ugly feeling, and Siegfried didn't want to limit Karna's interaction with people.
But Siegfried, deep inside, feared that someone might take away Karna from him. And as soon as Robin started to get touchy with Karna by touching his hand, Siegfried had to take an action.
Siegfried walked to them and he grabbed Karna's hand. "Come with me," Siegfried said.
Karna nodded and he followed Siegfried. Which Robin awkwardly got what that mean. He was hitting on Siegfried's interest the whole time. And Siegfried was so patient that he didn't do anything until Robin touched Karna.
Siegfried took Karna to the closest room and the other vampires were watching them entering that room. Siegfried simply closed the door and nobody would dare enter.
It was an empty room with small ventilation at the top of the wall. Sunlight was coming in from there and the room was dusty.
Siegfried grabbed on Karna's arm tightly as he looked at his face. Siegfried looked intensely into Karna's eyes. "Karna..."
Karna titled his head in confusion, not understanding what caused Siegfried to be so worked up. Maybe Siegfried was getting a little hungry. Karna undo his shirt's first two button and invited Siegfried for a bite. "Here."
Siegfried looked at that pale neck and he gulped. Yes, that neck was very inviting and Siegfried would like a bite. Karna was, after all, premium delicious stock. But Siegfried had bitten Karna enough for the past two days, he had enough, he also didn't want to strain Karna's body. Plus that wasn't the reason he brought Karna here. "Sumanai, that's not it."
"Then what?" Karna asked.
"Karna, I want to have sex with you." Siegfried awkwardly said. He was flushing when he did. "Can I?" Maybe Siegfried had gotten a little bit desperate. He hadn't been using his joystick for 300 years after all. All because he only wanted one person.
Karna stared dumbfounded. He had to process what Siegfried just said for a few seconds. And then he started to blush. Karna looked down to frown but instead, he saw Siegfried being hard. And he looked up again to that flushing face in front of him.
It was so awkward that both of them keep staring at each other. But this was getting nowhere, so Karna had to give an answer. And he didn't have any reason to reject Siegfried's advances. Karna nodded silently while being all red.
Siegfried smiled in response. Then he kissed Karna on lips. It was actually their first kiss. At first, it was lips brushing on each other, then Siegfried shoved his tongue inside. Karna gasped a bit. He never had someone else's tongue inside him. It felt weird, but he got aroused.
Siegfried slowly pushed him to the ground. He undid the buttons on Karna's shirt, and then he touched his body. The pale skin was so beautiful combined with the pinkish nipple. Siegfried licked that nipple while his other hand slowly going down.
Siegfried was skillful. He might had no memories but his body know the next thing he needed to do. His body remember well how to please someone sexually. In contary, Karna was a virgin lad because he was too cold to make friends and he would attack all alphas that trespassed his private space. His only alpha friend was Cu, and Cu wasn't interested in him at all.
Karna moaned lightly when Siegfried started to touch his member. Slowly rubbing it and making it hard. And then Siegfried shoved a finger into him, and then after it entered nicely, he put the second one. Touching his front and back together, Siegfried wanted to make his sun feel the best. Not just simply shoving his joystick even though it was so hard and Siegfried wanted to enter so badly.
After moments of using his hands, finally Siegfried reached his limit of holding back and his dick demanded some attention. "Can I put it in?" Siegfried asked while being embarrassed.
"Ah," Karna nodded.
Siegfried unzipped his pants and pulled out his content. Honestly, Karna was terrified. It was so huge that Karna wasn't sure how that thing will enter him. And Karna's scared face wasn't missed by Siegfried. "Sumanai... I won't put it in..." he said, and he was sad for that.
"It's fine," Karna said as he touched Siegfried's hand. Encouraging him to continue. Karna didn't want to be the only one being serviced. So he grabbed on that huge dick and stroked it slowly. Then Karna grabbed on his own thigh, opening himself to that thing.
Siegfried started gently. He brushed his tip on the entrance, slowly pushing the tip in. And then the whole thing. He did it while being gentle because he didn't want to shock Karna.
But even so, it was still a big thing that Karna felt it grow hard to breathe when Siegfried was fully inside. He looked down and saw a small bulge coming out from his stomach. And he looked to Siegfried who seemed to be worried at him.
"Are you okay?" Siegfried asked as he kissed the man's cheek gently, smelling him. "If it hurts, say it."
"I'm okay..." Karna said. Though he was a little bit afraid. Thankfully Siegfried had prepared his body well that he had no problem.
"Can I move?" Siegfried asked and Karna nodded.
Then he started to move in and out slowly, and the pace gradually increased. Though it wasn't that fast and Siegfried was being considerate and gentle.
They maintain the pace for some time until Karna felt it deep and good. Siegfried's big size filled him full, it made Karna feel even more sensation.
"Hnnghhh!" Karna moaned loudly when he felt Siegfried hit his deep spot. It felt amazing. He could feel himself growing even wetter.
And suddenly Siegfried's pace went from consistent to super fast. He shoved in and out and it hit Karna's good spot every time, making him moan even louder. "Tha—! Ahhhh! Hnnghhh" his droll were flowing out and Siegfried licked those, and then he kissed him, pushing his tongue inside again, while he kept thrusting and his hand stroking Karna's dick.
Karna didn't notice how loud he was. He was loud. So loud that the people outside sat in awkward silence. Plus vampires had good ears so the noises he made was even clearer. Robin had to excuse himself somewhere else to get his thing done. Alone with his hand.
"Haaa... I... Sieg— ahhnnn!" Karna leaked out. He came fast. The thick fluid made Siegfried's hand sticky, and he continued stroking. Making Karna hard again. And by that, Siegfried found out that Karna was a virgin. Because only virgins came that fast. That got Siegfried's dick even harder. Siegfried was so proud that he was Karna's first time.
They kept on like that for some time, both in hot breath and Karna moaning crazy as he came again. Siegfried felt he was so close, he thrust a few more times inside, and then he pulled out. He came right the moment he pulled out. Shooting his load right outside of the hole. That was dangerous. He almost didn't make it out in time.
Karna's whole body was twitching. He totally felt it. He breathed hotly as he twitched a few more times before he calmed down. He laid on his back as he looked to Siegfried. "Hmmm... that was... good..." Karna murmured under his hot breath and he smiled, still flushing red.
"Thank you." Siegfried thanked as he smirked, proud at himself. He kissed Karna once again, and he pulled him to sit on his lap. "Mhhmm..." Karna made some more noises as they kissed. After that, they hugged closely while their body was still so hot. Siegfried could feel juices were dripping out from Karna. It touched Siegfried's thigh.
That made Siegfried want to go for another round. But he turned down the idea. This was enough for now. And Siegfried liked it when everyone else heard what they just did. It was so effective that nobody dared to be flirty with Karna anymore.

Lockdown day 6.
Vampires exterminated: 218
Hunters killed: 39
Arjuna was on top of one building in the city. While he was technically a member of squad 01, his job was more a single-man mission. Same goes for Galahad and Gawain. Those two often move on their own.
Galahad was a single-man army. He fought numbers of vampires alone unless it was a pureblood. Gawain was more like a tracker. He tracked where the vampires escaped and follow them.
And there was Agravain, but he was more an investigator rather than a hunter. Outside of investigating and dealing with reports to the higher-ups, he doesn't do anything. He doesn't join battles as he was rather weak. Agravain must be sitting on the office alone now, enjoying a peaceful time. Arjuna was a little jealous. If only he could have the office for himself
Arjuna might be thinking of other stuff, but his eyes were keen. He instantly noticed a movement on the street. He raised his scope to his eye. There was someone on run. Arjuna didn't know if that was a human or vampire. But he doesn't care. The hunters and officials already made evacuation notice, and if they didn't evacuate, that was their own fault. Not Arjuna's. He shot that person right in the head, making him instantly dead.
Arjuna, his job was, in short, killing vampires from afar. Sometimes he would be a support from behind, giving the exact location of their enemy. Though he preferred going solo rather than group fight. But taking down a pureblood couldn't be done alone.
Arjuna might not like his squad members, but he kept healthy relationships with them. Arjuna especially disliked Agravain for his corrupt activities.
Arjuna sighed. He had been staking out since day one and he was getting tired. Arjuna pressed his own temple, trying to relax his eyes. He wished there were more snipers so that he didn't have to do the stakeouts alone. At least there would be someone to take turns with.
"Arjuna, I heard a shot." Artoria's concerned voice came from Arjuna's earpiece. All hunters used this line anyway, so everyone could listen to their conversation.
"Yes. I just got one." Arjuna answered as he stopped pressing his temple and get back to ready-to-shoot position. "Please confirm the body, whoever close to the location."
Billy answered the request. "On my way. Good job as ever, sniper!"
"Good work!" Bedivere added. He was currently stationed with squad 03 because they got taken out early. With Bedivere, there were only 3 people in that squad.
This city was infested with vampires. Mainly because not many hunters were deployed here, and there wasn't any big business around, so the higher ups never cared for this town. Hunters were limited, they couldn't just send them to all places. Especially after the Seigfried battle, a lot of hunters were sent to the hospital and therefore unable to fight. Usually, in these kinds of unimportant cities, two or three hunters were assigned as watchers.
And from what Arjuna saw, they certainly did a bad job. They didn't even notice the 0,5% population were vampires.
Billy came to the line. "This one is 219'th. Good job."
Okita came to the line. "I have cleaned point C. I got 13. Add it to the counter. Yes! okita-san's vic— *cough* *cough*"
Charles-Henri came to the line. He was sighing. Being a vice-captain of Okita was hard. "Captain Okita is down. Squad 02 will be operating without her from now on."
Vampires Exterminated: 232
That was still far from the total estimation. But if they, hunters were given enough time, they could clean the whole city from vampires. But the problem was Siegfried. He was here, and there was another pureblood.
Tch. Vampires. Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!.
Ever since the day that priest vampire killed Arjuna's family, his soul had been burning in hatred. He wanted to exterminate all vampires.
Then Galahad's voice came to the line. "Arjuna, can you move to point E?"
"I am at the best position here." Arjuna didn't understand why Galahad would want him to drop this point. But Arjuna respected Galahad for his skills and abilities. He was way above Arjuna and Galahad must have noticed something to ask him to move. Not to mention Galahad was at point B. "Did you found something?"
Lancelot then came to the line. "I'll go there."
"Shut up. Don't move from your assigned point!" Galahad said, a little bit of yelling. But then his voice went neutral again as soon he didn't talk to Lancelot. "Sorry. They hadn't been on the line for 10 minutes. And you're the closest."
"Understood. I'll be there in 200 seconds." Arjuna said and sighed as he packed his sniper gun. He readied his sword for melee in case he encountered some vampires in his way. Though he really didn't understand where Galahad got that feeling, though he did have good instincts. And he often got everything right. So Arjuna listened.
Arjuna was on his way to point E when a few vampires attacked him. Arjuna was a sniper, but he was also trained in melee. He cut down them easily. These vampires were awfully weak.
Tch. This city was too peaceful for them that they didn't even know how to fight. Arjuna cursed the watchers of this city.
Arjuna continued his run as he reported. "I got 3. Add it to the counter."
Vampires Exterminated: 235
"Good job." Artoria praised.
Arjuna arrived at point E and Galahad was right. Arjuna was shocked to see all six members of squad 07 were dead. Arjuna even made sure to check their pulses. They were all dead. Their weapons were taken away.
This wasn't Siegfried's doing. That ancient was famous for his strength but anyone with a brain should know that he doesn't really kill hunters. Most of hunters that faced him get out alive. And Siegfried had no reason to take the weapons.
There were bodies of three vampires laying around. Arjuna checked them and he knew who they are. Arjuna reported instantly. "Squad 07 is annihilated. The mafia is here!"
The other hunters were alerted and some were shocked by Arjuna's report.
"Mafia? Gilgamesh men!?" Billy asked. His pitch was high. He was clearly scared.
"That's impossible! Why!?" Artoria asked.
"Everyone, regroup at point 0 now!" Amakusa Shirou, the field commander commanded.
"But if we do that, the vampires will escape!" Arjuna denied the regroup command. He didn't want to let any vampires escape. If they drop their assigned posts now, the vampires would certainly escape, and there would be no one guarding the escape routes. "Point 0 is the withdrawal point, commander. Why!? We can deal with Gilgamesh's men!"
"Gilgamesh has been spotted!" Amakusa Shirou said in loud voice. "I repeat, everyone regroup at point 0 now!"
Arjuna didn't understand. Why is Gilgamesh here? There's no reason for that. But if it was true that Gilgamesh had been spotted, then they really need to withdraw as soon as they could.
If three purebloods were here, this would certainly end up with the hunters being killed. Arjuna bit his lip in frustation. He wanted to kill more. He hadn't killed enough. Not yet. Not enough!
But the commander was right, they need to run and let the monsters kill each other. There was no need to waste the precious lives of humans.

Siegfried was opening the map on the table. Karna was on his right side. And the other vampires were surrounding them. They just received the announcement that the hunters had withdrawn. "If you run straight to the south, you should be able to escape," Siegfried escaped as he pointed in the map. "Robin please lead the group."
"Understood, boss!" Robin confidently answered. Running away was one of his strong points. "I will get everyone out from here!"
The vampires were overjoyed with the news. They could escape. After days living in fear of extermination, finally, they could escape. The cheered, and some hugged each other.
The vampires started to move. They dispersed to collect the things they needed. Because they will leave this place soon.
"Karna," Siegfried looked to the pale man at his side. "You should go with them."
Karna's lip formed a frown. "I refuse." He answered right away.
"Please," Siegfried begged. He knew what was coming and wanted to keep Karna away from danger. "I will follow you soon."
"No," Karna denied the request once again. "I am staying with you," He looked straight to Siegfried's eye. "I already said that I will go with you." Determination was burning in his eyes.
Siegfried was reminded about the night he confessed. His heart was touched and he formed a smile. He didn't want to bring danger to Karna, but he was also happy with Karna's determination. He looked at Karna in silence for a moment, deciding how he should deal with this. And if Karna decided to stay, it would be hard to convince him to go, to force him was impossible. So Siegfried accepted with worry, but happy feeling. "I understand," Siegfried said. "Please stay with me."
Two of them were so focused on each other that they didn't realize Robin was watching them until he whistled. "Save your hots for later, boss!"
Karna and Siegfried were blushing as they were caught. But Siegfried quickly raised his head. Karna saw that Siegfried. He was so handsome. "Robin, how's the preparation?" Siegfried asked.
"We will move in 5 minutes. What about you, boss?"
"I will stay here," Siegfried said straightly and Robin was a bit surprised. "I have unfinished business."
Robin nodded. He was just a normal man and he understood he mustn't poke his nose to pureblood's business. Siegfried had protected them for so long and that was more than enough. So Robin thanked him. "Thanks for your hard work, boss," Robin waved once. "I hope we can meet again one day." He said and he left.
Karna and Siegfried watched as the group left in hurry. They were gone in minutes. Leaving only two of them.
Siegfried looked to his sun and smiled. Though a bit sad. "This might be a little dangerous..." he said in concern for Karna's safety.
Karna nodded as he smirked confidently. "I will be fine. I am not weak." There was no lie in that words. And Siegfried admitted that Karna was pretty strong as long as he didn't hold himself back.
.

The hunters had withdrawn. The battlefield became Vampire's den.
Gilgamesh and his men had entered the city. The reason was simple, he wanted to kill Siegfried. Gilgamesh had never forgotten his hatred to that man. Siegfried killed Enkidu, along with their unborn child.
Merlin was grinning happily for the show. He was waiting for the big fight as he watches with binoculars from one of the building. He didn't want to be caught in the battle that was why he took a safe distance.
He stood right on the window with a bowl of popcorn. His right hand grabbing on the pop corn and he ate it as he watched Gilgamesh and his men getting closer to Siegfried. Oya, Karna? He really met Siegfried. Wow. This will be fun~
But if Merlin thought he could watch everything, he was wrong. Merlin was humming a song as he hyped for the battle. And suddenly he felt a dangerous presence behind him.
Merlin wanted to turn back as fast as he could but he couldn't. A hand pierced right passed his chest from behind. Merlin saw that hand with horror. Blood spilled and Merlin puked blood.
When the hand was pulled back Merlin turned his body as he coughed more blood. He hold onto the hole in his chest that was slowly regenerating. But for a halfling like him, regenerating a heart was no easy task. He might really die. Merlin looked to the person who had stabbed him. His eyes widened in shock. "You...alive...?"
Merlin lost his balance as his blood keep sprouting out from his wound. He took a step back, but slipped on his own blood. He then fell out from the window.
.
.
.
Merlin was crawling on the ground. Behind him was a long trail of his own blood. He crawled for some time, looking for a corpse or something to drink on. Of course, there would be corpse laying around. Considering the hunters just exterminated hundreds of them. But where? Merlin couldn't stand so it made his sight too short to find one.
Merlin kept crawling, crawling, and crawling. He did it as he groaned in pain, it hurt so much that Merlin cried. Then he found one. A disgusting smelling corpse. She was most likely that one that got killed in day one. Her body was staring to decompose, but Merlin couldn't be picky right now. After all, he was a beggar, and a beggar wasn't allowed to choose.
He crawled to her, and she bit on her shoulder. It tasted so bad. Someone like Merlin who only drank and ate good food, this taste was the worst. If he was to describe it, it was like eating uncooked spoiled chicken marinated with strawberry jam. It was so bad that Merlin shed tears as he drank. And the noise of flies right on his ears made it worse.
Merlin thought after drinking this awful blood he could heal and go home. Oh, he was just unlucky today. Very unlucky.
First, he got stabbed almost to death by a surprise person who Merlin thought he had died. And now when he just started to heal, someone was standing in front of him. And this one was also a bad news.
"Merlin," the genius-killer, Galahad, was right in front of him. Merlin looked up to that cold face. "It's been a while." Galahad finished his sentence.
Merlin was in dipshit. "Hello, Galahad-kun...?" Merlin forced a very awkward smile while sweating cold. He had always feared the hunters. Not because they would kill him, it was the opposite. They wouldn't kill him that was why.
"I'm lucky today," Galahad said as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs. "To find you in this state, maybe I've traded all my luck for the rest of the year." He said as he cuffed Merlin's hand.
Merlin could only cry and give in to fate as his hands were restrained. He had healed his wounds but he wasn't in condition to fight or run. He regretted drinking that woman, if he didn't, he would have died and he would be spared from being arrested. But now? Not that he had to drink that awful thing, now he was also captured. Merlin probably would spend the rest of his life in the prison. They would make him spill all the information they want.

There was no way for Gilgamesh to won a 1 vs 2 battle. It was just impossible. Siegfried was too durable to kill and Karna was a serious damage dealer. Both combined were unkillable. Siegfried would protect while Karna cleaned off the men.
At first few hours they were at equal standings. And his men were shooting from behind. Siegfried was the meat shield for all of those bullets, covering Karna with his back. Siegfried was also shot with s-bullets that they have stolen from the hunters. But his healing factor was too much that the bullets almost had no effect.
Karna was on his way killing the last mafia men. Crushing his face totally. Then he threw that man to Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh evaded the throw, but that was Karna's aim. That body was just an aversion. He was able to pierce Gilgamesh in the shoulder and Gilgamesh punched him in the chest. Karna coughed blood. The power was overwhelming, Karna would have been sent flying more than 30 meters if it wasn't Siegfried who caught him from behind.
Siegfried was a lot slower than Gilgamesh. He couldn't exactly land anything so he had to rely on Karna for that. Karna was the one who actually mortally wounded Gilgamesh so many times. Siegfried had protected him in a few instances by cutting off Gilgamesh's arm when he had the chance. But the battle's real changer was Karna. If Siegfried was alone, the battle would simply be another draw because none of Siegfried and Gilgamesh were able to land a killing blow on each other.
Gilgamesh was suffering drawback. His heart was destroyed and now kneeling in pain. He was losing the battle. He had regenerated so many times that his body was starved. He couldn't run too because his left leg was still growing. This was painful. Pain because he couldn't avenge Enkidu.
"Tch!" Gilgamesh glared at Karna and Siegfried. Karna was sitting on the ground, holding onto the wound on his abdomen, the one that Gilgamesh made. Siegfried was also wounded multiple times, but he healed in no time. Two of them combined and they still had a hard time to fight Gilgamesh proven how strong the oldest pureblood was.
"Are you okay?" Siegfried asked as he glared on Gilgamesh. He held onto Karna's shoulders, ready to be shield for another attack.
"Ah," Karna nodded while in pain. "No problem."
Gilgamesh's men were all scattered dead around. He quickly ran to one. He was trying to grab a corpse to replenish himself.
But before he could, he was shot with a sub-machine gun from behind. Hundreds of bullets were shot into him and his body was deformed.
Karna and Siegfried watched in disbelief. Gilgamesh was betrayed by his butler. The one who should be helping was killing him instead.
Moriarty had killed Gilgamesh from behind. Simply because he deemed the king was no longer useful, therefore he removed him from his equation. Moriarty smiled politely to the two winners. "I'm sorry for the mess. Lord Siegfried, and his mate..?" Moriarty apologized as he bowed to them. "I'm truly sorry for this."
"Why did you do that!?" Karna asked. Betrayal was never fun to watch unless you were Merlin.
"The outcome is clear," Moriarty said as he fixed his glasses. "There is no need to prolong a useless battle," Moriarty then walked to Gilgamesh's dead body. He grabbed him. Gil's body was light because it was just 60% of his original body. Moriarty destroyed almost half of him.
"Then, I'll take my leave." Moriarty excused himself with a bow. He left while dragging Gilgamesh's corpse. Moriarty would have a feast tonight. He could prolong his life for a couple of years by eating Gilgamesh. After all, Moriarty was getting old.
Siegfried could have chased after Moriarty. But he prioritized Karna over that. His sun was in a bad shape. Groaning in pain as he slowly healed himself. A bit too slowly. He was wounded a lot of times as well, he was almost at his limit. And Karna wasn't Siegfried, he didn't have that durability nor stamina.
"Karna," Siegfried looked to the man in his arms. "We need to leave now. The hunters could come back anytime."
"Ah," Karna nodded. "No problem." He said as he held his wound and tried to stand up. But his legs felt so weak. He trembled as he got up.
"Don't force—"
Karna wasn't able to listen to the end of that sentence. He passed out.
