Chapter 533: Family Issues

"Army of the queen?" Michael was surprised. He expected more information from the system other than some cryptic words,

Fortunately, Michael was able to feel his arch and celestial energy.

"Do you have any defense spells?" Michael asked Sabrina in a husky voice while watching the skinless humanoid creatures cautiously,

"Hmm," Sabrina nodded as he expected,

"Cast it on yourself and stay close to me,"

Michael shielded Sabrina with his body by moving closer to her. The fact she felt safe when she was with him surprised Sabrina deep down. She had only experienced this feeling when she was with her family. Hence, she contemplated how she could experience the same feeling with Ghost.

Meanwhile, the creatures seemed to be hesitating to attack Michael. They were taking a step forward and back again and again.

"Trident Cross," Sabrina waved her hand as a ghostly golden trident materialized over her head. Then from the trident's end, a translucent shield shot out to cover Sabrina.

Michael counted twelve creatures around him. He wanted to know how powerful they were before unleashing his full power.

"Ignitia," Michael raised his sword as the lightning bolt traveled through the sword and went straight through the creature standing fifteen meters away from him.

As soon as the lightning bolt entered its head, the creature's head exploded into red mist, which startled the others.

The system sounded fine except when it said the word 'Queen'. It felt like there was something else after the Queen, but he couldn't hear the word. The static prevented Michael from hearing the word clearly.

"So weak," Michael mumbled after the headless creature collapsed to the ground,

The other creatures angrily hissed at Michael. But since they had no skin on their body or face, there was no expression. So the only sign of anger they could make was hissing.

"Ring of Fire," Since they were standing in a circle around him, Michael simply cast the ring of fire to burn them all with a single spell.

…

The creatures squirmed and growled on the ground, getting barbequed by the flame. However, since Michael avoided using the Dark Flames, they didn't completely turn into a pile of ashes.

"We should move. I have a feeling they are just scouts," Michael didn't waste any time lingering around but dragged Sabrina into the dark hallway in front of him.

Just as Michael grabbed her hand, he noticed the rune on her hand glowing brighter and brighter.

"Wait a minute,"

Sabrina was confused as she let Ghost move her hand in a circle. As he was moving her hand, Michael noticed the rune was glowing brighter when he pointed her arm in one direction and dimmed while he was pointing on the opposite side.

"The rune, it's showing us the way," Michael said to Sabrina.

"This must be why the vampires wanted you with them,"

His words made sense to Sabrina, and they made more sense when they began to walk. After almost fifteen minutes of walking in utter silence, the straight hallway branched into several paths.

"Point your arm towards each and every path," Michael instructed Sabrina.

Currently, seven paths were branching out in front of them. Although Michael sent his drones into each path, they were still flying and nearing the end of their range. Hence, finding the right path with the drones didn't seem plausible at the moment.

From left to right, Sabrina moved her hand as the rune glowed brighter and brighter until her hand pointed at the last two pathways.

"Do it again. This time, from right to left," Michael instructed,

Under his order, she did as she was told. But, this time, Michael could see that the fifty pathway from left to right might be the right way as the rune glowed brighter when she pointed her hand towards it.

"This might be the way. Stay closer to me," Michael chose the fifth pathway and began to walk towards it.

"So just out of curiosity, how did you end up with the vampires? They took you from the Holy Trident Academy?" Michael asked Sabrina while walking,

"No" She shook her head,

"I was staying in Maven, a kingdom on the Southern continent. Victor and Elijah, they killed the people I was staying with and took me with them,"

Michael noticed that Sabrina didn't tell him she was with the Guardians.

"Your family must be thinking you are in the academy. This leads to my next question, do you think your academy is searching for you? You must be a big deal in your academy right?"

"Big deal. Why do you think that?" For the first time in a long time, Sabrina's lips curled upwards.

"Isn't it obvious? Your elder sister is the Holy Maiden of Skyhall. Your brother is the youngest Guardian Captain. I heard you're the youngest disciple to enter the Holy Trident Academy. Your family is full of prodigies and talents Sabrina,"

Michael really wondered what the hell Diana was smoking when she gave birth to her children. All of her kids turned out to be heaven-defying talents. It was really a wonder for such normal parents to give birth to monsters like Noah and Rowena.

"Sigh," Surprisingly he heard Sabrina deeply exhale,

"I'm not up to their standards," Her answer surprised Michael,

"Look at me. I can't even hold a sword in my hand without shivering. If Rowena or Noah was in my place, they wouldn't have been kidnapped by me,"

Instead of responding to her family problems, Michael kept walking straight.

However, she didn't stop talking.

"I was the one who always needed saving. Even now, if you hadn't come, I still would have been a slave to the vampires," Michael sensed a major inferiority complex from Sabrina, but he couldn't blame her completely. The bar set by Noah and Rowena was so high that many wouldn't reach that high in their entire lives. Granted Noah had Andreas to guide him but Michael knew even without Andreas, Noah would have been a heaven-defying talent. As far as Michael was concerned, if Noah didn't have Andreas, Noah would have reached greater heights.

That old man was using Noah to finish what he couldn't.

"For once in my life, I wanted people to introduce me as Sabrina Winston. Instead of Noah's sister or Rowena's little sister. I want to get out of their shadows and make a name for myself, "

"Hmm," Michael just made a sound, leading the way. They were slowly approaching a corner where Michael couldn't see what was around the corner with his eyes. But Michael had drones hovering directly above a group of skinless creatures.

"You can kill vampires but can't speak?" Sabrina frowned as she expected Ghost to speak his mind.

"Shh," Michael quickly pushed Sabrina to the wall and placed his finger on his lips, wordlessly telling her to be quiet.

Michael slowly moved along with the wall to the corner. He slightly moved his head, looking at the group of five skinless figures lying on the ground while one figure stood guard. The group of five seemed to be sleeping. The snoring was a dead giveaway. Still, Michael was surprised as he didn't expect them to function like normal human beings.

Sabrina moved so close to him to the point he could feel her warm breath on his chest and smell the vague jasmine flavor from the top of her head.

Considering she was his chest height, Michael grabbed her head and pushed her to the side,

"What are they doing?"

"Sleeping perhaps," Michael whispered to her. Then he slowly unsheathed his swords without making a sound,

Surprisingly, Michael extended the hilt of one sword to her. She was confused because he said she couldn't fight before they were teleported to the shadow realm.

Without waiting for her to grab the hilt, Michael lifted her hand and placed the sword in her hand. Michael noticed her hands shivering, just like she said.

"You can't get better without going through pain and suffering. Hold it tight," Michael pressed her fist, tightening her grip on the hilt.

"I will take care of the standing one. You sneak up on the others and cut their throats in their sleep,"

Michael didn't even wait for her answer as he leaped into the air and landed right behind the creature in a blink of an eye. There was no way but to walk past them. His speed and agility really startled Sabrina.

He moved like a leaf in the wind, gentle and light. The skinless monster didn't even move until he stabbed it right through the head from behind.

After killing the skinless creature, he placed the body on the ground making no sound. Then, he locked his gaze with her,

Sabrina stared at Ghost who waved his hand, telling her to come forward and end their lives.

"Real warriors look their enemies in the eyes before taking their lives," Noah's words sounded in Sabrina's mind, preventing her from moving her legs.

"A coward takes life from behind. A warrior protects a life behind him," She could literally hear Noah's teachings in her head. Never in her life did she take life from behind. Noah taught her to fight like a warrior, not like an assassin.

But at that moment, Ghost was telling her to do exactly what Noah said don't.

"Typical," Michael snickered inside, looking at Sabrina hesitating. Instead of waiting for her to sneak up on them and cut their throats, Michael decided to kill them by himself.

Standing around the corner, Sabrina saw Ghost disappointingly shaking his head before stabbing the sleeping creatures through their heads one by one in a few blinks of an eye.

…

Each time Michael killed a creature, the system awarded him with a measly amount of 10,000 Experience points. So that was why Michael asked Sabrina to kill them because that would have given her some amount of courage.

After Michael killed them, she slowly walked toward him with her head down. She couldn't look him in the eyes for some reason. But unlike she expected, Michael didn't say anything.

"Come on, let's go,"
