"Heh, and here I was thinking that I was strong enough," Ithania muttered with a self-deprecating smile.
"All of them are old, you are still in your prime, remember, you just started cultivating and you are already at this level, these people are cultivating for years. Don't compare yourself with them. Focus on your own progress." Azriel muttered as he glanced at the humans standing in front of him.

…
The two of them noticed two patrols, no, two Advance level patrols. Seeing that someone at the same level as Ash Morris (The human leader who attacked the Vampires before, Chapter 31) was just acting as a mere patrol, Azriel and Ithania were curious.
The two of them then followed behind the Patrols, since it was night, the time of the Vampires, the two patrols couldn't sense them at all and continued walking.
This led to the current situation, where Azriel and Ithania were observing more than 30 humans camping in the forest and the leader of the humans was a Master Stage Cultivator!
(A/N: Cultivation Levels are similar to my other , you can also check out the Aux Chapter for more details.)
"Yeah Yeah, I don't need any sympathy from a monster like you." Ithania snorted.
"But I am serious, unlike you, these people have already wasted their potential, they won't grow much after this."
"Hmm? But there are still some with potential with them."
A small smile appeared on Azriel's face as he replied,
"Dead people don't have any potential."
However, just as he was about to rush to them, Ithania held his hand.
"Stop."
"What?"
"Don't you find it weird? Why are there so many humans patrolling in the Forest?" Ithania questioned.
"Huh? Isn't that obvious, they are on guard against us, I killed an Advance Stage Cultivator, remember? They would be fools if they send an Advance Stage Cultivator alone again." Azriel answered.
"That happened 3 months ago, Azriel. I don't think humans will be on guard against us for 3 months straight. It might be possible but I believe we better not make any assumptions and learn the truth."
Azriel then turned around as he glanced at Ithania and his blood-red eyes shined.

Ithania's information appeared in front of his eyes, Azriel was surprised to see that even though she was weak and might be in a dangerous situation, she was still able to think things clearly and make an accurate judgment.
'As expected of a bookworm.'
He thought inwardly and questioned.
"So what do you suggest?"
"Can you charm all of them?" Ithania questioned.
Azriel then turned towards the group and shook his head,
"I can only charm 3 of them, the rest of them might be able to resist my Charm" Azriel answered.
"What if you ignore their willpower?"
"Then I will be able to Charm them all." Azriel nodded.
A small smile appeared on Ithania's face, "Alright, listen to me now."
…
"Did you find anything?" The leader of the humans, Nash, questioned.
"N-"
*Screech*
However, before his subordinate could answer, a bat's screeching was heard.
*Screech* *Screech* *Screech*
And as if a trigger has been pulled, countless screeching sounds were heard all over the forest.
"L-Leader… w-what's with this c-creepy feeling?" A subordinate couldn't control himself and questioned as he looked around.
The silent forest was now full of bat screeching.
He felt something was wrong.
"Y-Yes, I don't hear any other animals either…" Another subordinate muttered.
"…" Nash frowned as well.
"Why the hell are you guys acting like children? You are cultivators, you idiots!" Nash roared as he pointed in the direction.
"You, that was where the screeching came from, go and check it"
The subordinate that Nash ordered flinched but since he didn't want to offend his senior, he nodded and walked in the direction Nash pointed.
'I am a cultivator! Why am I scared of mere bats!?' he muttered inwardly and steeled his resolve.
Nash shook his head when he saw how his subordinate acted.
'Pathetic… if he is so scared, why did he even come here? He might as well stay at home with his mama.'
…
A few minutes later, the subordinate came back, uninjured. The other humans sighed in relief and Nash questioned.
"Did you find anything?"
"…" The subordinate didn't reply.
"I am asking something here." Nash's voice turned stern.
"Leave."
The subordinate ordered in a heavy tone.
"Huh? How dare you talk to me in that tone!? I want you to tell me what you found, or I promise you will not have a good life ahead!" Nash threatened in a harsh tone.
"I. Said. Leave."
The subordinate didn't seem to hear anything and repeated himself.
The humans would be fools if they couldn't tell that something was wrong with this situation.
The bats screeching had stopped and the forest had turned eerily silent.
"H-His eyes… t-they look weird…" One of the humans muttered as he pointed at the man with trembling hands.
The other humans looked into the man's eyes as well, however, before they could deduce much, a sword appeared in that man's hand and he pointed it at Nash.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I will say it one last time. Leave." He spoke with the same, expressionless face.
"Haahh? Who gave you the galls to point your sword at me!? Do you not want to live anymore!?" Nash questioned.
Suddenly, a wide, eerie smile appeared on the man's face.
He looked…
Excited?
Feeling something was wrong, the other humans prepared themselves as well and their swords appeared in their hands.
"I warned you." The man muttered with the same, eerie smile on his face.
The other humans took their battle stance, ready to defend, however,
The man suddenly pointed his sword at himself and pierced it into his neck.
"Khhkk khkkk!" The man groaned, light returned in his eyes as he glanced at other humans, he seemed like he wanted to say something, however, there was a sword that he had himself, pierced into his throat, so he couldn't.
*Thud*
He then fell to his knees, and struggled a little, before his eyes lost their shine and he breathed his last breath.
"…"
A deafening silence fell all over, no human dared to say anything.
They were all creeped out because of the situation.
It would be a lie to say that they weren't afraid.
"W-What happened…?" someone questioned.
*Screech* *Screech* *Screech*
Suddenly, the bats' screeching sounded again.
The weak-hearted humans were about to faint.
Nash looked around and noticed that others weren't doing very fine either. He had to do something.
He then turned towards David, the strongest man in the group after him.
"David, take a few men and go see the situation." He ordered.
"Yes, Leader." David nodded, he was confident in his strength, so he wasn't as affected by others.
Although he did find the situation creepy that's it.
He was a peak Advance Stage Cultivator, he was different from others, something like this isn't enough to scare him.
"Antony, James, Jake, Roy, you all come with me." He ordered.
The people he called wanted to refuse, however, they knew what would happen if they do something like that.
It wasn't sure that something would happen if they follow David, however, they were sure that they will die if they don't follow him.
They didn't have the option to reject.
"Y-Yes," The four of them nodded and followed him in the direction Nash had pointed.
Strangely enough, the bats screeching had turned silent again.
The humans looked at each other, all of them were a little affected by the weird death.
"There is nothing weird on his body…" a man spoke as he searched the dead body.
Nash frowned as he questioned, "Hmm? Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Then why was he acting so weirdly?"
"I don't know." The man replied and he shook his head. The situation was too creepy, he was even scared to touch the body but he had to touch it since he was ordered.
A solemn look appeared on Nash's face and he started thinking about different ways something like this could happen.
'A demon…'
He thought inwardly as he recalled the [Possession] ability of a peculiar demon-kind. If it were them, things might go wrong... very wrong...
However, before he could think too much, a voice sounded.
"I warned you before, didn't I?"
