Chapter 197 - 197: Isn't That Too Easy? - My Three Wives Are Beautiful Vampires.

[A/N: Happy New Year, boys, and girls. Thank you so much for the support you have given me over the past year, I hope you will continue to support me!]

....

As Victor sat on his ice throne, he looked around to observe the fruit of his actions. His glowing red eyes solemnly reflected the burning city, all while he wore a serene face.

A completely calm, unreadable face.

If people who knew Victor saw his face now, they would undoubtedly feel a little chill course through their spine, as they weren't used to seeing such serenity in his countenance.

They would definitely be asking themselves, 'What is he thinking?'

The answer to that question would be…

Nothing.

His brain was completely empty, like a blank page.

Victor wasn't thinking about anything, and that would scare them even more because they knew something.

Victor was like a force of nature, he was unpredictable, and when he thought about nothing, the next actions he tended to take usually meant someone was going to die.

Maybe a person.

Maybe a group of people.

Maybe a country?

They couldn't know. But one thing was certain, someone was going to die.

"Darling, what are you thinking?" Violet asked curiously. She wasn't feeling any from Victor's connection, and, because of that, she had found this situation a bit odd, so she asked him that.

"Nothing." He was honest. He really wasn't thinking about anything.

"..." Violet was silent while she seemed to be thinking about something, but then her thoughts faded when she felt Victor's caress on her head. She felt so peaceful when he did that to her.

Victor stopped looking at the burning city and looked to a certain spot.

Rumble, Rumble!

A golden beam appeared where he was looking, and soon Sasha could be seen.

"Darling... Violet..." Her eyes seemed to glow a little blood red when she saw the position Victor and Violet were in:

"You guys need to see this." She had a completely serious face. It was quite impressive how she could hide what passed over her face in less than a few seconds.

"…" Victor and Violet looked at each other, and then they both nodded.

"Okay." They said at the same time.

Violet elegantly got off of Victor's lap.

Victor rose from his throne and looked at the burning city, 'I must resolve this, or the fire will continue to grow.' he pointed his hand towards the city.

The magic circle of Victor's gloves started to glow like crazy as he used a power he rarely saw a need to use.

Particles of water began to gather in Victor's hand, and slowly, a small ball of water formed.

This little water ball started to grow and grow, and soon a gigantic water ball was being held by Victor.

Victor threw water into the city sky.

When the water ball reached a height that Victor thought would be appropriate, he clenched his fist as he said,

"Explode."

BOOOOOOM!

And just as he had, said a small explosion happened, and soon it started to rain all over the abandoned city.

"...This is fucking bullshit." Violet and Sasha said at the same time since they didn't even have the words to express what they were feeling right now.

And to be honest, they also completely forgot that Victor could use the power of water.

'Oh, Ruby can too.' Violet thought.

Although the way Ruby used her water power more as a support for the ice power.

...

Violet and Sasha ventured underground again, this time with Victor in tow.

"...Hmmm...Should I jump into the hole now?" He looked at the hole in the ground with a knowing look. He could understand that this was the remnants of the attack he threw a few moments ago.

"Yes, Ruby is waiting for us downstairs," Sasha spoke.

"Okay…" With no hesitation on his face, Victor took a step forward into the air above the crevice, and quickly gravity began to do its work.

Violet followed Victor's example and, mimicking his actions, casually stepped over the edge and allowed gravity to pull her after her darling.

Rumble, Rumble.

Sasha's covered herself in lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared, leaving behind golden trails of lightning.

As he fell towards the ground, Victor crossed his arms and thought, 'Why is this hole so deep?'

And at the moment when he said that, he could see a small light approaching from the ground, showing he was arriving at his destination.

When he was just inches from impacting the ground when he suddenly stopped in midair and then landed softly on the ground.

He looked around and realized the whole place was frozen. He looked down a little bit and realized the hole still continued much deeper into the earth but was covered by a thick layer of ice connecting with the floor of the level he stopped on, presumably to prevent people from falling into the endless hole?

'My wife's work...' Victor thought when he saw that the whole place was frozen, she was the only one here currently, besides him, who had the power to do something like that.

Victor looked up, his eyes glowed a slight blood red, and then he held out his arm.

Suddenly, a small woman with long white hair, moving like a rocket, landed in his arm.

BOOOOM!

Crack, Crack!

A small cobweb-shaped crater was created around Victor when Violet fell into his arms.

As expected from Clan Scarlett's ice power, even with this level of force, the ground didn't crack much. If it was on dry land, he was 100% sure that an even bigger hole would be created.

"Couldn't you slow yourself down with your firepower?" Victor asked in curiosity.

"I could…" Violet knew that she could have used her power as a way to slow her down.

"…But I knew you were going to catch me, right? Darling." She flashed a seductive smile that slightly scratched Victor's heart.

"..." A small smile appeared on Victor's face, and he said, "Of course."

"Hehehe~." She exhibited a sneaky little smile.

Victor found Violet's smile very beautiful now.

"Hmm…" Victor looked up again.

"…" Violet suddenly started to move, and she quickly left Victor's arms.

Victor extended his arms again.

A small golden bolt appeared, and soon the appearance of Sasha being held by Victor was seen.

Victor flashed a teasing little smile:

"...You could have gotten here before us, right?" Since, as a user of the power of lightning, he was pretty sure she could get there before them.

Sasha's cheeks turned a little red with embarrassment, and she said,

"Shut up..." As she hugged him to hide her blush.

A small, gentle smile appeared on Victor's face since he could easily tell what she wanted.

She wanted to be pampered! She wanted attention!

"Hahaha~, my wife is so cute..." He hugged Sasha tighter.

"..." A small smile appeared on Sasha's face. She wouldn't deny that when she saw Violet sitting on Victor's lap and enjoying his caress, she felt a little jealous. She wanted that too!

"... You done?" Suddenly a cold voice can be heard.

Victor, Violet, and Sasha look in the direction of the voice, and they see Ruby wearing a lab uniform. She has little red glasses on her face, and her red hair is tied back in a ponytail.

She looked very professional.

"You look beautiful in this uniform, Ruby."

"..." Ruby adjusted her glasses up and said:

"Thank you, Darling." Despite speaking in a cold tone, her cheeks were a little red.

"... Anyway." Ruby turned when she saw the small smile on Victor and Violet's faces, and she could even see Sasha wearing a teasing smile.

"Come." She started walking towards a place.

Victor put Sasha down, and soon the three started following Ruby.

As they walked through the hallways, Victor could see people transformed into macabre ice statues that had small cuts on their necks, and some had a hole in their chest.

With only the remnants of battle, Victor could understand what happened. It was quite simple actually.

'Ruby froze everything, and Sasha killed them all with her unnatural speed.' Victor looked at the cuts and realized it was made by a small blade, maybe a dagger?

Passing through the corridor full of statues, the group arrived in front of a laboratory.

Ruby took a card from her pocket and turned to look at the group:

"Before you go in, put on that mask." She pointed to some masks used to filter several substances and chemicals from the air.

Sasha was the first to move and put on the mask, and soon Victor and Violet followed after.

Victor and Violet were having second thoughts, they wanted to ask questions, but they decided to hold back for now.

After all, Ruby doesn't do anything useless.

"Good." Ruby exhibited a small smile, then put on a mask as well.

"…" Why are you acting like you own the place?

Violet really wanted to talk about it right now, but she was silent and walked in with Victor.

And when entering the place, she saw something strange.

"…bodies inside a tube? Is that what you wanted to show us?" Her voice came out a little weird due to the mask.

"..." Ruby and Sasha were silent, and they didn't answer Violet's question, as they just kept looking at Victor with curious eyes.

"..." Violet narrowed her eyes a little, and then she looked at Victor.

"Hmm..." Victor walked towards the beings that were inside the capsules that had a strange green liquid.

He saw that on one side of the room, there were only men, and on the other side of the room, there were only women, and the count was the same for both genders.

Six women and six men.

Victor saw a strange number on top of each of the capsules.

"F-061." Victor's eyes narrowed, then he looked at another capsule and looked at the top.

"F-068."

"F-039"

All capsules appeared to have an identifying code name at the top, but the numbers did not appear to be in order. Some were higher, while others were lower.

"... That way of naming them..." Violet opened her eyes a little as she seemed to understand something.

"Yes, it's the same as the information from that man we captured."

"An identification number, they are categorizing by specimens," Victor spoke in a neutral tone that contained disgust.

"Yes." Ruby nodded.

Victor's eyes begin to glow blood red, and he glared at every being in the room and noticed something:

"They are all mongrels."

"Yes." Ruby nodded and added:

"Although they are all failed experiments."

"What do you mean?" Victor didn't understand.

"They are dead," Ruby spoke.

"Huh?" Victor didn't understand. After all, from what he could see, they were all still alive.

Normally when a creature dies, Victor couldn't see anything anymore, it's like the creatures have become part of the red 'world' he sees.

Ruby elaborated further, "They're in an unconscious state, but if you wake them up...well, they're going to die, it is like a vegetative state."

"For now, I just know that the green liquid is what keeps them alive."

"And that the 'F' series of experiments were completely unusable because of an unknown complication."

"The result of mixing the species, huh?" Sasha spoke.

"Yes." Ruby nodded.

"...What do you mean about a series of experiments?" Victor asked.

"The experiments seem to be divided into levels..." Ruby grabbed a report from a table near one of the pods. This was the document she was reading when she heard the noise of Victor, Violet, and Sasha arriving.

"The levels are based on the potential of the specimen, the level is divided into B, C, D, E, F, and Z being the lowest, and the weakest and least mutated, and the B being the strongest ."

'... Was that priest the strongest? ... Of course not, the document is out of date...' Victor immediately noticed an incongruity in the information.

"..." Ruby flashed a small satisfied smile when she saw Victor's face of accomplishment, she could more or less understand what he was thinking, and that made her happy.

Her husband was quite a battle maniac, but at least he could use his brain!

Ruby passed the sheet, and a document with Zandriel's photo was shown.

…

"Experiment Z-000: Codename Zandriel: The first human/vampire to survive the empowerment experiment.

Personality: He is very religious.

Mutation Status: Failure, he only inherited the basic powers of the noble vampires.

Lifespan: Unknown, but estimations show that, due to failure, it is predicted he will die in a few weeks.

Note: Human blood is not compatible with vampire blood. The two cannot mix properly, and something must be done..."

…

"..." Violet, Sasha, and Victor were silent while they seemed to be thinking about something.

Ruby threw the report on the table.

"It was from this place that that man who attacked Kaguya and ambushed Sasha came."
