“Eyeballs.”

His target this time was a dog-like creature. At last, he achieved something approaching actual success. Although it was a smaller body part than the ankle, perhaps it helped that it was a more distinctive one. With a howl, the dog man fell over, holding his hands to his eyes.

“Nose, ears.”

Yogiri continued to unleash his power. If the beastkin possessed similar senses to that of a dog, he couldn’t leave the ears or nose intact.

Another success. But killing three of the dog man’s five senses didn’t feel particularly merciful.

...

Lain lifted the corners of her mouth, and her canine teeth began to extend. Once they were long enough, she sank them into the beastkin’s neck.

“Wh-What are you doing?!” Edelgart shouted in surprise.

“Didn’t you know? Sage Lain is a vampire.”

“But she was perfectly fine standing in the open sunlight on the roof!”

Being undead, vampires were weak to sunlight. That was just common sense.

“Miss Lain’s class is Origin Blood. As the highest rank of the undead, she is also known as the Queen of Undeath. For someone of her level, sunlight is nothing to be concerned about.”

“You seem to know a lot...I thought the Sages were simply powerful mages.”

As Edelgart worked through her shock, Lain finished feeding. As soon as she took her mouth off the beastkin’s neck, his body began to change. His claws began to grow and his muscles started to ripple. His lips curled back and fangs began to grow. With a single movement of his arms and legs, the ropes binding him to the bed were ripped apart and he fell to the floor.

“Kneel,” Lain ordered the creature now lying at her feet. At her words, he began to thrash around, but that was all. He seemed to recognize that he had been given a command, but in spite of his desperate efforts to comply, he had no idea what he had actually been ordered to do.

“Apparently even being in the same bloodline doesn’t help,” Jorge muttered. “Interesting that not even telepathy works.”

Vampires increased their numbers by drinking the blood of others. Those new vampires could then communicate with each other via telepathy, but in this case it had failed to get through.
