YM778.TV 70 Chapter 70
*Crumble* *Crumble*
Xavier walked over shattered pieces of glass and bloodstains with his boot as he entered through the entrance.
The automatic doors were broken, and the lights in the store were flashing on and off. But it didn\'t make much of a difference since he had [Night-Vision.]
"..."
Without saying a word, Xavier walked towards the many corpses before him, parts of their flesh were missing around their neck regions and many had their intestines flowing out.
The scent of blood and rotten flesh permeating through the air made it all the more disturbing.
*Crunch* *Crunch*
With no other options available, Xavier walked over the corpses before coming to a stop ahead of a map beside the main door which led to the main section.
"Let\'s see here..." Xavier muttered as he inspected the map.
The map displayed all of the sections of the superstore. In this one there were ten sections. Each section covered a portion of the store\'s entirety. Specifically, one tenth.
Each section provided it\'s own set of products and the map showed what each specialised in.
Xavier was in the middle section ahead of the store\'s entrance, the fifth section. The clothing section.
The sections Xavier needed to get to were the 6th section, groceries and the 7th sections, tech and mechanical parts.
There was also the 10th section which caught Xavier\'s eyes, it focused on medicine and first aid but Xavier was planning on going to a hospital regardless so he put it off not to waste time.
*Growl*
The sound of growling caught Xavier\'s ear.
Upon turning to the source of the sound, he could see humanoid figures slowly approaching him on their fours through the clothes smearing blood on them in the process.
Their eyes glowed a crimson red as drool flowed out of their mouths. The flashing light made them look even more disturbing than usual.
Xavier\'s eyes narrowed when he saw this. One of the shirts they had gotten their blood on was the very first shirt he\'d laid his eyes on when entering the section.
"Fuck... That\'s depressing... Now I don\'t want it anymore." Xavier complained before sighing. "Oh well-"
*SLASH!*

"So this is where he\'s at... This place is just perfect for my ability." Muttered the cloaked Vampire as she stood by the superstore\'s entrance.
The Vampire beside her wearing the ogre mask gave her a nod before walking ahead.
Meanwhile the girl stared at him with narrowed eyes. Watching his back slowly distancing away from her as he entered the store, she could almost visualize the bloodlust coming out of him, it reminded her of an uncontrollable stream just waiting to burst out.
\'The smiling ogre, a vampire assassin whose identity behind the mask has never once been revealed. He\'s as quiet as the rumours say... I wonder why someone like him wants to take such a low reward bounty with so many others out there.\'
The girl shrugged her shoulders.
"Who cares, it\'ll make my life easier. Whether it\'s the Devourer or even a high-ranked Vampire Noble, no one who becomes his target can survive."

"At-At-At-Choo!" Xavier sneezed.
Rubbing his nose with a tissue, Xavier continued to walk down the food shelves, throwing any cans, vegetables and packs of rice he could find into the supply bag on his back.
"That\'s strange... Did all the rain make me catch a cold?" Xavier questioned. "Is that even possible for Vampires?"
Xavier was in in the store\'s 6th section. It was big, filled with food shelves and a glass panel ceiling above walls which were as tall as 10-15 meters.
Despite the occasional encounter of a trashed shelf or corpse, things were in quite great condition.
"I\'m glad you ghouls have no use for these things. That makes things easier for the both of us, isn\'t that right?" Asked Xavier as he turned back with a grateful smile.
Behind him was a trail of corpses belonging to ghouls which were beheaded one after another.
"Ah... Right... They\'re all dead." Muttered Xavier.
Xavier had killed all of the ghouls which he\'d encountered as to not waste any XP. All in one swift slash to the neck.
The only downside of it for Xavier was that he couldn\'t drink any of their blood.
"What a waste... It\'s depressing." Xavier muttered.
\'How far am I from level 10?\' Xavier questioned.
[XP: 940/1800]
He instantly turned towards the door which led to the 5th section before tilting his head to the side with a confused expression.
\'...For a moment I felt a strange presence but it\'s gone now... Did I imagine it?\' Xavier wondered.
Ignoring his sense of danger, Xavier scratched the back of his head before continuing his search for supplies.
*Step* *Step* *Step*
After a few steps Xavier stopped to confirm that there were no ghouls in sight before crouching in front of a different shelf.
The products in these shelves were all sauces. There was ketchup, mayonnaise, custard, chilli pepper, and all others.
While crouched Xavier stared intently at the ketchup and mayo, his red eyes then shifted over to the custard.
"Hm..."
While Xavier was debating on which to go for in his mind, the shadow of a figure appeared behind him with it\'s presence completely masked.
"I wonder if I should go for ketchup or mayo... Maybe both?"
The figure glared at him as it readied it\'s dagger to decapitate him in a single swing but right as it was about to-
"Hey, what do you think? It has to be both right?" Xavier asked as he turned his head backwards and faced the figure.
"!"
*SWOOSH!*
In that instant, the figure swung his blade, quickly slashing it through Xavier\'s neck. Or so it seemed.
Right before the swing made contact with Xavier\'s neck, his figure disappeared.
[Rewind Level 2: Retract.]
And not even a second later-
*BAM!!!*
A kick crashed on the back of the masked man sending him crashing through the sauce shelf and the two shelves behind it.
"Ah.. Fuck. Now my sauces are all scattered." Cursed Xavier as he crouched down and began picking them up one by one.
The moment smiling ogre masked man got up, his narrowed eyes as a burst of bloodlust fell on his back.
"I don\'t know who you are but I\'ll give you a little warning... I\'m feeling depressed right now..." Muttered Xavier as he sent him a glare. "So just fuck off while you still can..."
