"Caspian, I think the new S-Rank is pretty stupid, right? He doesn't seem to have the guts to get big treasures." Said one of Caspian's companions once they were a bit away.
He stared at him and let out a slight snort with his mouth.
"Well, the other leader of our hall is a strange person. He talks very little and doesn't socialize often, maybe only with that girl. That's why I dislike him a bit. I feel he's smart, but at the same time, I feel he's very stupid, and I can't figure him out." Caspian replied a bit angrily and then smiled a little.
"Did you see her? Did you like her? Her blood must taste delicious if she looks like that." He asked as he approached the boy who had asked him the question, and this boy smiled.
"Isla Moore, right? She looks really good and has a hot body, if she hasn't been touched by that guy, I approve her as part of my harem." He replied, and Caspian smiled sinisterly then.
"Well, leave it to me. She's a good girl, even if she has that trauma." He replied, and his partner shrugged.
"Easy partner, that girl won't be used to fight. Besides, if she has trauma, she's better as cannon fodder; just do as I say." He replied, and Caspian nodded.
"Fine, if you agree, I'll return with my group. Try not to get too far ahead of yourself for now. Let those guys run into those oversized beasts, and then we'll all attack." Said the man who had been talking to Caspian White, and after a few more words, he quickly left.
...
"Matt, why did you turn them down? Getting devourer blood is very valuable; in the city, they sell very well." Isla said innocently and tenderly.
Matt sighed lightly and gave her a few small pats on the head.
"Girl, you have a long way to go to be a professional assassin. I'll tell you two things. First, don't worry, we're going to get plenty of devourer blood. Also, from some vampires if all goes well. Second, whatever happens, keep your guard up when Caspian or any of the other groups come near you." Matt replied and then started walking around where he had said he would go.
Although Isla was surprised and continually asked him why things were happening, he didn't answer much.
'Wanting to trick me, hehe, little vampires are so gullible in their abilities.' Matt thought, smiling somewhat mischievously.
During that night, they didn't sleep, as Matt wanted to find out some things about the place, although after spending the whole night walking, Matt just investigated different things from side to side, and then they went back to get there walking.
'What is he thinking? Why are we going to the same place twice?' Isla thought in shock, though she did everything Matt told her without saying a word.
Naturally, he would have his reasons, and she didn't need to know them. Right now, she knew Matt wouldn't hurt her. Otherwise, he would have done it when she was so helpless, crying in his arms.
So, during the morning, they both walked there through the mountains.
The path they had chosen was rocky and challenging to traverse. Large rocks were frequent in this place; not for nothing is it a small mountain road.
Still, for Matt and Isla, who walked it during the night, the walk was calmer and more relaxed this time.
Beasts sounded in the distance, and some snakes crossed from side to side as if they wanted to pounce on this vampire couple, although none dared to do so.
"Isla, this time we are going to fight some somewhat big beasts; there may be devourers mid-fight, so try to stay close to me and fight combining with me." Matt said.
Isla looked at him doubtfully, "Are the big beasts strong?" She asked, and Matt shook his head.
"I'm unsure, but it should have between 2,500 and 3,000 power. My current power is 3,100, and yours is still under 3,000, so you should focus on fighting close to me so that I can protect you. The beasts are not dangerous on their own; the problem is the devourers who will use this to attack us. But don't worry, I have a plan." Matt said, smiling, and just at that moment, a roar came from his right, making him step back.
Sharp cheetah claws, quite large, passed by the place where Matt was standing, looking to cut him in half.
Still, they only cut through the air as he sped past to the other side.
"Get ready." Matt spoke.
Isla quickly drew her sword to fend off attack from another beast attacking from behind, while Matt dodged the blow from the cheetah that tried to attack him again, grabbing his hind legs in the process and slamming him to the ground hard.
Simultaneously, a great cheetah appeared in the distance and prepared to attack Matt with force for killing one of its own.
Matt smiled a little as he saw that the cheetah he had just beaten to the ground was dead in his hands and felt a little embarrassed.
"They're not that strong; I overestimated them. Isla, if you are attacked by a medium-sized cheetah, with a blow to the back of the head, they die. If it's a snake, avoid fighting them because of the venom." Matt said, jumping up to hit a small animal attacking Isla from behind.
"If it's one of these, you kill it with a punch in the stomach." Matt said and turned his attention back to the enormous cheetah.
'This one is more dangerous; there seem to be 4 other large ones nearby.' Matt thought and ran to meet the oversized cheetah.
Both released their respective punches, claws, and a fist slammed into each other, pushing each other away.
'Oh, this one will do me.' Matt thought and quickly ran to the left side to attract the attention of a huge snake hiding in the undergrowth.
The roar of rage that came out of its mouth made him realize that it was as strong as the cheetah, but it was much more cunning, so he grinned.
'Just one more...' He thought and glanced at his surroundings, focusing his gaze on Isla's right.
A huge tree stood there.
'Hey, little bear, come here.' He thought as he leaped towards that spot again, with two giant beasts behind him, trying to hit him.
Still, the blow only hit the huge tree hard, destroying it instantly. The impact of the power of these two beasts was so significant that it ended up hitting a giant bear that was hiding behind the tree dozens of meters away.
'Good.' Matt thought and, taking advantage of his proximity to Isla, said something in her ear quickly.
She didn't hesitate to do as Matt told her, so she ran in circles for a moment, circling the two huge beasts in full view of them.
Both beasts thought it was a back attack, which is the type of attack the mindless beasts hate the most, so with a roar, they both turned around to where she was, scaring her to death.
Still, she finished doing as Matt had told her, and soon, a slight earthquake that shook the area reached everywhere, along with a shout from Matt, "Hide, Isla, I'll get reinforcements!" Matt shouted with a slightly mischievous grin on his face.
The tremor would naturally attract the beasts' attention, who were stupid to notice that the stronger of the human one was behind them now. The reaction was the same, but this time, the speed at which they lunged at Matt was more incredible than before, and Matt allowed both of them to hit him, sending him flying for tens of meters.
The beasts did not hesitate to follow him, but the place where Matt fell...
It made him smile.
Several faces looked at him in shock, wondering, 'What the hell is this bastard doing here!?' When suddenly, they felt four presences staring at them...
"Shit, attack quickly!" shouted Caspian, almost choking in the attempt...

I've changed the name of the novel and also improved the synopsis (I think) before the novel was called Rebirth of the Ice Assassin In A Vampire World. Honestly I'm bad with names, but I think I'll leave it as is this time. Thanks for reading, remember to add the novel to your library!
