When I really need you, that's when you are with me.
Mardelia Zara Zeanne

The wind was blowing slowly in the midst of the tense atmosphere signaling the imminent battle. Their cloaks were pulled back by the wind. Jeffry was still wearing the hood of his cloak, thinking hard about how he and Zara could escape from being surrounded by four vampires who were laughing arrogantly at their opponents.
Fighting them is actually very easy for Jeffry. Those vampires were vampires from small clans. chances are their strength isn't that great and Jeffry will easily handle it.
Jeffry glanced at Zara briefly, looking at the beautiful face that was starting to turn pale. Jeffery was very frustrated. The current situation made him want to get rid of the bastard vampires that made him angry. There is no other way but to beat them.
Jeffry turned his body to make the vampires growl angrily to chase but failed when Jeffry turned out to just put Zara slowly on the grass.
Before standing up and ready to finish off the vampires who had been on guard for Jeffry's attack, he stared intently at that face with conviction.
"You'll be fine. I promise!"
"No need to bother!! Just hand over that valuable item to us!!"
Jeffery stood smiling. Horrible smile. They didn't realize they had aroused the fury of a vampire as strong as Jeffry. They had come to their own angel of death.
Jeffry growled furiously at what one of the vampires said. There wasn't the slightest movement from Jeffry, but the cocky vampire fell to the ground screaming in pain as a red flash of lightning struck his chest from behind.
"Congratulations. You signed your own death contracts!" said Jeffry with a pair of sharp fangs and nails ready to tear their flesh.
The remaining three vampires looked slightly flustered. Without a matter of minutes one vampire was knocked down by Jeffry without even a movement. They just realized who their real opponent was.
Jeffry's strength is not comparable to them indeed. Jeffry's real enemy is time. Behind his calm Jeffry was very worried about a woman behind him who was lying pale. Jeffry couldn't be any longer. He had to immediately finish off the remaining vampires.
The three vampires charged forward simultaneously brandishing their swords. The loud clanging of swords was heard clashing in the silence of the forest. Jeffry caught all attacks calmly and easily.

Blood flowed from Jeffry's stomach as a knife pierced his stomach. His movement stopped. Staring at the knife that suddenly approached him.
The cowardly vampires laughed loudly at the knife-stabbed Jeffry. One of the vampires hid from behind a tree. They planned to attack secretly when the opportunity arose. They fought cunningly because they knew who the vampire they were dealing with was. Unfortunately the knife missed, not hitting Jeffry's heart.
They know that Jeffry is a Guardian of the Gervinder. A clan that is bigger than their clan. Fighting in fear will not bear fruit if they are determined to fight a guardian, Jeffry Ernest Luxion. Jeffry's greatness has indeed been highlighted in various parts of the vampire clan. But very few know his face. Maybe the vampires were lucky to have seen the guardians of the Gervinder.
Jeffry tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife and pulled it quickly. There was no fear in Jeffry's red eyes. Anger was taking over him.
"I've been playing around for too long!!!"
Jeffry threw the knife in any direction. No, not just any direction. The knife hit its target. And again, a vampire hiding behind a tree could be heard screaming as his own knife stabbed right through his heart.
The three shocked vampires didn't realize that Jeffry was now advancing on them. Jeffry's sword swiftly pierced the heart of another vampire without a fight. Two vampires are left and they just need to wait their turn to die. They were wrong to have raised a vicious monster before them.
Jeffry stopped his sword in mid-air which was ready to slash whatever was in front of him.
"Jeffry.." softly. The sound made Jeffry's movements stop.
Having a golden opportunity, the two vampires managed to escape and sped off like cowards.
Jeffry approached Zara with his eyes still tightly closed. Jeffry smiles, there is still hope to save Zara.
"I'm here Zara!"
Jeffry carried Zara's body and took her off to a place.

"Please treat him!! He was bitten by Rogue... Don't let anything happen to him!!"
The word help easily slipped on Jeffry's lips. A very sacred word spoken for a Jeffry Ernest Luxion.
"Okay sir. You please calm down, I will try my best!"
The woman who already looked middle-aged stared in horror at the visitor who was in a state of complete chaos. Their clothes were stained with blood. Especially Jeffrey. The blood from his stomach was almost dry from being left on for too long, but Jeffry didn't care about that, Zara's safety was now a priority for him.
Jeffry carried Zara into the infirmary and put her on the bed slowly. Zara's face grew paler and her condition weakened, at least that's what Jeffry got from the old woman when she started treating Zara's wounds. Jeffry's breath was still out of breath with his hair so messy.
Time goes on without realizing it is now almost midnight. Jeffry took Zara to a treatment hut by the Alchemists (Witches who are good at making potions, potions, etc. Alchemists can be called magicians who are experts in medicine). This village is only inhabited by magicians. Witches usually do live in groups, also this village is the closest village to the forest.
Jeffry is still standing beside the bed where Zara is being treated by an Alchemist. Jeffry didn't know what potion was put on Rogue's bite mark on Zara's leg. The potion was pitch-black in color made of herbs that the middle-aged witch had nimbly mixed up. Slowly the wound on Zara's leg, which was pale purple in color, is now starting to return to normal.
"Master! You'd better get treated right away! Your wounds will only get worse if left..."
A woman who is also an Alchemist suddenly approached Jeffry. He felt sorry to see Jeffry's stomach covered in blood.
Jeffry was silent for a moment, his legs felt heavy to leave Zara for a while. "I will avenge all of this!" His gaze was cold, Jeffry was getting angry when he saw the stab of the Rogue which was deep enough to tear Zara's leg. Instead of taking revenge on a dead Rogue,...
But to someone the cause of all the suffering Zara is going through.
Jeffry stepped out wide to treat his wound.
Jeffry steps towards a room on the second floor. The place of treatment in this village is quite large. Jeffry opened the door, entered a room with a medium-sized bed and an open window making the curtains flutter in the strong midnight wind.
Jeffry took off his robe and put it on the end of the bed and took off the clothes he was wearing. Unbuttoning his shirt one by one. The wound, which was quite large, was now clearly visible with dried blood. The pain that Jeffry felt when he touched it made Jeffery wince in pain.
This is a different figure of a Jeffry. He also has feelings, even though Jeffery has great power and is sometimes cruel, he also has the right to feel pain. He thought the pain in his stomach wasn't worth the pain when he saw Zara lying in blood in the forest earlier,...
As if Jeffry also felt the pain that Zara felt. Jeffry's mind wandered imagining it all. He held his head which suddenly felt sore.
Jeffry let out a long breath, closing his eyes for a moment, enjoying the wind blowing directly on his face. Jeffry stood up and took a white cloth and warm water that had been provided and rubbed his stomach slowly, removing the dried blood around his stomach.
An Alchemist who had asked Jeffry actually intended to treat Jeffery. But Jeffery refused. He knew the true intentions of the young wizard. He just had a chance to tease her. Jeffry would not want to do that. If he really wanted to help Jeffry, he should have wanted to help treat Zara instead of refusing when the middle-aged woman asked for help... and instead offered her help to Jeffry.
His hands put the bandage on his stomach skillfully. Jeffry didn't have to need someone else to treat him. He had been stabbed by a sword deeper than this, Jeffry was used to self-medicating and he didn't really care about the pain as he bandaged the wound that pierced deep enough in his stomach.
Vampires do have healing that can be considered fast, although not as fast as werewolves.
Jeffry moved to put his shirt back on but didn't allow the buttons of his shirt to open, showing a bandaged six pack stomach, don't forget his broad chest which was exposed to the wind.
Jeffry stood up and walked over to the window that was left open. Jeffry looked up at the moon that was shining brightly in the middle of the night. The moon is almost half covered by black clouds.
"It's going to be a crescent phase soon. What about Zara, she'll be in danger."
Jeffry looked at the moon seriously, full of worry.
