     "I'm lazy to explain one by one. However, the thing that affects it the most is the level of a vampire. A vampire's rank is determined by his fighting ability. Having great fighting strength means that the vampire has a strong virus within his body. The power of the virus is what affects the success in turning other creatures into vampires."

     Alexis and Reinhardt nodded their heads, feeling they understood what Damien had just explained.

     "Also, no matter how strong a vampire is, if he turns a human into a vampire with his virus, then that person will only have a power level below that vampire."

     Reinhardt frowned, "That means Juliette was indeed much stronger than you from the start?"

     "Juliette is different. She said that I have unlimited potential in my strength. I don't know if she's lying or not. After all, she's not a vampire either. She comes from an even more ancient race than vampires. She is the last descendant of Dracula."

     "So, Juliette is a Dracula, not a vampire?" asked Alexis excitedly.

     Damien hates Juliette's name when it is mentioned in front of him. Because until now, he still cannot escape his grasp. "So, actually, what kind of wolf we saw at that time? I wouldn't believe it was just an ordinary wolf that happened to grow bigger."

     "They are werewolves. Half-human, half-wolf. They are the eternal enemies of the vampires. Some quite troublesome ones because they can change their body shape at their will. From human-shaped bodies to unreasonable-sized wolves that have the power and strength. And like vampires, they also have a king and several generals. Each general is in charge of an army that usually contains four to five people, and the troops are called packs, like a company in the military. The generals [Alpha], while their subordinates are called [Beta]. To the king himself, I don't know what they call him. What is clear, when comparing combat strength, I can handle a pack containing one [Alpha] and five [Beta] by myself. But, if I'm about to be surrounded by two or three packs at once, I'm not sure what will happen next."

     Alexis nodded her head again. "But, if they are the natural enemies of vampires, why have I never seen them fight against vampires all this time?"

     Damien turns the car. Currently, they have entered the territory of Vincent Von Dutch. Each vampire aristocrat does have its autonomous regions that they can manage freely.

     "There was a massive war between vampires and werewolves. And I participated in that war. At that time, my status was still a high-level vampire, not yet a noble-class vampire, like now."

     "There was a massive war between vampires and werewolves. And I participated in the big war. At that time, my status was still a high-level vampire, not yet a noble vampire, like now. I managed to cut off the right hand of a werewolf general. I forgot his name. However, if I saw his face, I would know him well."

     Alexis and Reinhardt seemed very immersed in Damien's words. They were interested to hear the story of the war.

     "The leader of the werewolves, Aaron Coldnight, had an all-out fight with Sovak, Kovak, and Novak. He managed to suppress the three vampire kings by himself. However, after three full months, the war was not over. They finally made some agreement. A peace agreement."

     "Why did they do that?" Reinhardt asked Damien.

     "Because their battle was disastrous for both parties. The agreement was quite simple. As long as no vampire entered the werewolf's territory, nothing would happen. And same for the werewolves. They were strictly prohibited from entering the vampire territory."

     "Mmmm ..." Alexis mumbled something. The girl seemed to be in deep thought. "If they are the eternal enemies of vampires, then, are they on the side of humans? "I mean, I often hear the saying that the enemy of your enemy is a friend. So, I think, since werewolves are eternal enemies of vampires, and vampires have become enemies of humans, maybe humans and werewolves can be good friends."

     "You could say that, although nothing is certain in this world. I have never heard of a werewolf preying on humans. I had infiltrated their territory before with Juliette to get the mystical weapon that I hold now. I can feel, there are many humans, and they live quite harmoniously. And I also see, there is a child from a werewolf and human marriage. If a vampire and a werewolf will live eternally until they are destroyed, the mixed child of a human and a werewolf may not make any difference with ordinary humans in terms of their lifespan. What distinguishes them from ordinary humans is their physical strength. Even though they can't turn into a wolf, their physical strength is above average humans."

     Alexis was about to say something else, but Damien immediately added. "Even though they seem to coexist very well with humans from the outside, but I always feel strange with them. I don't know. Maybe this is just my intuition. But, I feel like there is something they are trying to hide. Whatever it is, I hope the werewolves are truly on the human side."

     "Mmm, okay. But, if I fight that half-werewolf, who do you think will win?" asked Alexis, raising both of her eyebrows at Damien.

     Damien stopped the car right at the edge of the cliff. "Maybe you guys will fight in balance. The outcome is determined by who has the stronger desire to kill. But I suggest you never get into trouble with them. The only thing good enough about them is, they don't think of humans as enemies. I want someone to change that perception. Because if they also attack humans back, I will be troubled then. Because I'm the only vampire who sided with humans. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

     Alexis nodded in understanding. The three of them got out of the car. From the edge of the cliff, you could see a mansion that was probably bigger than Damien's mansion down there. That is where Vincent is.

     The hunt for tonight was about to start.
