So. How do I figure out a Dhampir? White skin like vampires, but no fangs whatsoever. And then there is that abnormal strength of theirs with a strange ability to control their blood to an abnormal extent.
Their eyes have the shade of light red in contrast to the dark red color of a vampire, which signifies their lack of control of their emotions under certain conditions.
[Status: Enraged; Scared!]
Above that, this girl has a certain sense of energy that the other vampires didn't have. Or to be precise, her normal energy, which I believe should be latent inside her, became activated because of her vampiric blood.
[Silver Ether: 10,000/10,000]
To be honest, as far as I know, ether is superior to other normal energies, to actually be able to use it, she must be quite stronger than the others. Is that the reason why the Vampire General wanted her to be on his side? Interesting.
"How do you know that name?" that girl shouted at me. With her eyes concentrated at my vitals, she took out her two short blades, as she carefully stood up for a jump.
"Your mother asked for help. She wants you to come back home safely or something," I spoke with all honesty as I looked at her with slight sadness. And that was because…
"That b*tch can die for all I care…" she shouted with pure hatred as she stood there, still trying to figure out a way to attack me.
'She has been brainwashed, hasn't she?' I pondered as I looked at her, reaching for Irene instead of me.
-Whoosh!
She made the first step
-Whoosh!
I made the second!
"?!!!" She grew alarmed as she tried to stop and change her direction of attack towards me.
[Time Rejection!]
She slipped a little, coming to her knees, before she fell even more, her head hitting the ground a little away from Irene.
Moving closer to her, I stepped on her head as I held her down on the ground.
"Now, Now. Let's not cross the line, shall we?" I spoke as I looked at her with my eyes narrowed at the girl. Her name was…
"Everi, right?" I asked as I looked at her and her head, still placed against the floor, shook slightly before I let her go. Standing up, her eyes glanced at me before she tried to attack Irene again.
-BOOM!!!
I kicked her as hard as I could before I jerked my legs a little. Everi, on the other hand, hit the wall pretty hard. A dent was formed on the metallic wall before she fell on the ground, coughing blood, as her body rapidly regenerated, and she stood up again.
"Hey. Irene. Wake up," I helped Irene wake up as I was getting bored with this. I should just deliver her to Veriscene and let her deal with it.
Irene slowly woke up before I saw another attack coming from behind. This time, her body was invisible. Was this another skill of hers? [Eyes of the Time Keeper (Multidimensional Timeline)]
I didn't want to kill her. Even by mistake… So let's choose the most optimal pathway.
In front of me appeared a thousand possibilities, striking back at her, and she died in most of it, while succeeding to hurt me or kill me in others. But there were some scenarios in which I happened to protect myself without killing her. One of which I particularly liked.
-BOOM!!
Turning around and aiming at the spot I had seen in that scenario, I kicked her in the stomach, this time with double the intensity than before.
-BOOM!!!
Once again, this time she flew opposite and hit the wall, this time harder than before, and fell on the ground. Though unlike before, she fell down turning unconscious rather than simply falling down and regenerating. It normally shouldn't work like this… but whatever…
"Hmmm… what… happened?"
Irene woke up on the other side, as she rubbed her eyes, before looking at me with slight confusion in her eyes. I pondered a little before speaking,
"I knocked you unconscious before the monster could have any effect on you."
Her eyes opened up wide before she immediately turned around to see the experimented girl who was lying there dead without any movements. She was pretty much dead when her skills and bodily functions stopped working. So her previous mind-confusing effects were gone as well.
Irene was able to see her much more normally now. She stood up, walked towards her, and began analyzing her a little. Meanwhile, I went towards the Dhampir, Everi, picked her up and placed her on my shoulders, before I moved towards Irene.
"Let's go," I spoke as I looked at the door from where the monster came from.
"Okay- Wait! Who is she?!!" Irene was alarmed as she looked at the girl on my shoulder. She even looked at me with judgy eyes before I explained who she was. Though a little skeptical, she kind of believed in me before we both entered into the monster's den.

There were over a dozen monsters, with quite a lot of Exp. In fact, after killing the last monster, I couldn't help but feel bad that there weren't any more monsters in there.
[Level 26: 144,700/250,000]
I got two more skills back from my previous arsenal as well.
[Return (Level 1) (Rare)
Effect(1): Allows the user to save 1 point in the present time and return to that position using Time Points.
Effect(2): Allows the user to take back any object around him that he had held for more than 30 minutes.

Skill Points required to upgrade the Skill: 5]
[Temporal Inversion(Uncommon)!]
[User can cause the flow of time to go in the opposite direction at a speed of 1s per second. Can work only on inanimate objects. Cost: 0TP/Second]
'This brings back memories. Especially the [Return] skill. I had so many plans for it… good old times,' I smiled as I looked at those skills.
'Though it was a nice idea to come here. I might really end up breaking to Level 30 much before than planned,' my thoughts wandered as I looked around once more, trying to see if there was any other monster around here. Though sadly there were none.
"Mmmhhh… Is it time for tea already?" Everi spoke as she, too, woke up from her slumber.
"We ran out of milk, my lady," I said as I looked around for a way to get back up.
Hearing my voice, she grew alarmed as she looked at me as she stood up before positioning herself at a distance from me. She looked at me with a complex expression before she checked her private parts. After confirming that she had not been violated, she looked at me again, this time with a relieved expression.
"You really think of me that low, huh?" I spoke as I couldn't find even a single way back up. I guess the only way is the lift there, huh?
As I walked closer to her, she got into a defensive stance while I looked at Irene,
"Let's go back to the lift. Let's check out the 4th floor."
It was only then, Everi noticed all the dead monsters around the floor. Her eyes shrank quite a bit as she looked at me and Irene… Her eyes were still in disbelief as she observed me and then the dead bodies.
"Just… who are you?" she asked as she threw away any thought of fighting against me.
"Follow me. Let's find out the truth, shall we?" I smiled at her as I turned slightly before moving towards the lift. And after standing there for a couple of seconds, she moved towards me. This time with little hostility.
"Why did you not kill me?" she asked as she reached closer to me. Her eyes are trying to understand me.
"I have to take you to your mother, you know? Well… that is one of the reasons.." I spoke as I entered the lift. She stopped against me outside the lift before she questioned,
"Why? She only tried to kill me and sold me… what does she want with me now?"
Her eyes were skeptical as she looked at me. And I pondered a little before speaking,
"Why don't we find the answer to that together?"
She looked at me as her eyes grew more complex. Her eyes fixated on me, shifted to Irene for a moment, who was observing her with slight curiosity.
Slowly then she walked towards the lift before she stood on the opposite side of Irene.
"This is absurd," she complained as the lift closed and Irene chuckled a little.
"What?" Everi spoke as she turned to Irene, before Irene spoke,
"Nothing. You just seem really cute. And yeah… this is absurd… and it's only gonna get weirder from here."
Everi was confused before Irene added,"have you ever seen a zombie?"
The lift opened as we reached the 4th floor. The scene of a white room with thousands of machines as far as the eyes can see came into our view.
"Zombies? Like in the movies? Aren't they a myth?" Everi spoke with confusion, before her eyes looked at the machines in front of us.
"There isn't much here. This place is for generating power for the entire base. If you harm it, we will be trapped here forever," Everi spoke, surprisingly quite friendly to us. I took a look at her status for confirmation and found something interesting…
[Description: …. Has pure hatred towards the underground base for what they had done to her friends and 'sisters'...]
'Interesting…' I thought as I looked at her with a smile, making her shiver a little, before I looked at the machines in front of us.
