Vampire Lord's Demonic Wives

As the hologram appeared every dhampir soldier immediately paused and stepped away from the applicants. However by that time most of the comrades were dead, Zoravec looked around him and saw a lot of blood. Even though no weapons were used by the soldiers, the punches and other similar attacks were enough to cause the applicants cough and puke blood.

'Great, the test ended at a good moment. Though it has created a lot of corpses.'

He glanced at his surroundings with a brief look and shifted it again towards the hologram. It was obvious the survivors were the selected ones. However it made him wonder whether the applicants had taken permission from the parents or not.

After all, most of them could die in the entry test was not obvious or expected. It was the moment he recalled the video and written permission letter which William told him to fetch. It was the trump card which was used by the pentagon to justify the beheaded applicants. Zoravec was able to comprehend everything easily now, the higher authorities were sly and sneaky with their working ways.

"Congratulations to the ones who passed."

The figure in the hologram spoke as an announcement, he was a seemingly tall man with a french beard. It was obvious from his glaring crimson eyes he was a noble vampire. Zoravec keenly observed his visual which was visible till his chest. A smile appeared on his lips upon realising the truth, however he did not want to say such an offensive thing to anyone.

"Move to the door on the right for the second test. Keep your ears and eyes open."

The hologram figure announced the very next test in his brief speech. Zoravec and the other survivors assumed that the test ended, but it seemed they had planned a few more sections. He was not expecting any such cruel type of session once again because it would leave no more applicants if that went on.

"We have to stay close, together with each other."

As the survivors started to move towards the said door, Blake moved closer to Zoravec. He knew how exceptional his listening skills were, and now since the hologram told them to keep ears open; Blake wanted to get cosy with him to pass the whole damned series of tests.

"Hi, I am Blake. Blake Westwood."

He introduced himself as they dawdled to attempt the next task. However, Clara did not hold back from separating the two boys as she gently pushed them apart by shoulders. The petite fixed in and held one of their arms as she fit in.

"And I am Clara Sinclair. We should team up to win all these rounds."

She spoke to both of them as the girl looked towards them, Clara was sure that they all needed to stay together because passing all the sessions alone seemed impossible. The task one had already made it obvious that the applicants were being tested on teaming criteria.

"Oh yes, definitely. Seems they are testing our capabilities of management and mutual understandings. By the way, I am Zoravec.'

Since he did not mention the father's name and deliberately started from the base nature of tasks. It was obvious that he did it to divert their attention from his name towards the other thing.

The three of them smiled and walked towards the door on the right with hand in hand. The door opened and the seven survivors strode inside the dark room. There was no light in that room and the only way they could see anything was the glass ventilation on the ceiling around the edges. However, none of them moved assuming that the lurking dangers will result in the deaths.

'Darkness? Are they testing our listening and eyesight skills? But didn't they already base task 1 over it? What is this new situation now?'

Zoravec thought carefully and did not move any further instead waited for any movement in the room. He knew that if none of them made any movement then their opponent would definitely take the charge.

The lights suddenly turned on revealing everything present in the room. It was not an empty hall like the previous one which clearly indicated that the current task did not involve any combat due to less space. Zoravec and his seemingly other two companions carefully analysed the whole room before they could move any further.

For some reason the flooring was done with colourful marbles and gemstones which illuminated everything inside the room. There were no lights or bulbs to serve that purpose, but they could see everything including the vivid details of the room. In the direction of their nose there was a small platform which was suspended in the air by four blue chains.

The blue chains seemed to be oozing some strange kinds of sparks to prevent any kind of bare touch. However, the small platform was shackled so tightly that it was affixed in the midair. Right at the base of that small golden shaded platform there was a blue flickering flame.

Whereas there were 7 feet tall multiple mirrors in front of the both walls. Zoravec and the rest of the survivors found it strange that there were numerous mirrors on their left and right hand. The task seemed simple and obvious, but there was something hidden for sure. It was clear that the pentagon would never make a task so easy.

While Zoravec and his newly befriended pals were still contemplating what they should do and how to proceed. A boy moved ahead while boasting his understanding and analysing skills. His overconfident yet stupid ass had no clue what was ahead, the boy swirled around and mocked all of them for not being able to get the gist.

"Come on, can't you guys see we have to watch the booby traps and get that flame. It is so easy and simple. What are you guys waiting for? Come!"

He waved at them and dawdled forwards, the whole floor was empty but the kid still insisted on going.

He watched out for the booby traps on the floor and cautiously walked ahead tiptoed. His back was towards the first mirror on the left side as he watched out for any kind of secret chamber. Blake and Clara intended to follow him after seeing that he was unscathed and safely moving ahead.

"No, wait. We can't follow someone blindly yet."

Zoravec immediately stopped them by extending his arm. The three of them cautiously and keenly saw the kid gradually moving forward. And as Zoravec expected, the mirror reflection became distorted and something came out of it.

They all could not see what it was due to the super speed. The distortion in the both mirrors which were opposite to each other became normal. The boy's body froze in that spot until he puked blood and his lifeless body fell on the floor in three big pieces. It appeared as if something had cut his upper half torso, lower body and calves in three pieces.

His body dropped on the floor with a thud and the blood spread. The booby traps were not in the floors but in the portal mirrors.
