Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Escape

Su Jiyai’s heart skipped a beat.

He knew?

“But she had a strange smell on her, just like…” Before the Third Vampire Prince could finish his words, Ronald shouted,

“What? That cat is a female and a human on the top of that? Isn’t she a perfect combination for your experiment Third Brother?”

Third Vampire Prince’s forehead twitched in anger,

“Now search of her.”

Ronald moved toward the cupboards, opening each one with a flick of his wrist, while Jake began searching the far corners of the room.

Su Jiyai held her breath, knowing that if they looked too closely, her hiding spot would be discovered.

Just then a Su Jiyai stepped on something rough and that little voice was enough to attract the attention of all three vampires.

Su Jiyai’s eyes widened

Sh*t! I am done for!

She looked down to see what cursed thing she had stepped on and the next second she received a prompt from the system.

[Congratulations Host for finding the scroll! The mission has been completed! You are going to be rewarded with…]

Su Jiyai didn’t hear the System’s words at all. She found herself held in a painfully tight grip.

Su Jiyai felt her entire body go cold as she realized the worst had happened. She had been found.

The Third Vampire Prince’s grip was like iron around her arm, yanking her out of the vase with little effort. His piercing crimson eyes glared down at her.

“You thought you could outsmart me again?” he hissed, his voice dangerously low. “A human, hiding as a cat. How long did you think that little charade would last?”

Su Jiyai didn’t hesitate and shouted,

“Open the portal!”

[Error!]

[Error!]

Su Jiyai’s face turned pale.

What the f*ck?

“Why?” Su Jiyai asked.

[Host a shield was activated by the Third Vampire Prince. This was the reason why teleportation couldn’t be used.]

Su Jiyai gritted her teeth,

“So you mean to say…I need to get out of this mansion to open the portal?”

[Yes host.]

“Ahhh!” “Meow!” Su Jiyai shouted when the third Vampire Prince dug his long nails into Su Jiyai’s skin.

The smell of the blood started to float in the air. Since Jake had drunk human blood many times, he knew the difference between the smell of human blood and animal blood.

Surprise flashed in his eyes.

Till now he thought Su Jiyai was an animal, an animal with the intelligence of humans.

But now…

The interest in Jake’s eyes deepened but the painful cry of Su Jiyai’s voice brought him back to reality.

Something stirred within him as he watched her, an instinct he hadn’t felt in centuries.

“Stop.”

The Third Vampire Prince barely glanced at him.

“What did you say?” he asked, his voice cold, his nails still digging into Su Jiyai’s flesh.

“I said stop!” Jake’s voice grew louder, and with one swift motion, he grabbed Su Jiyai and pulled her out of the prince’s grasp.

Su Jiyai was surprised, however for the first time she felt a strange kind of security in Jake’s hand.

Jake’s hand still was cold, maybe much colder than the Third Vampire Prince’s, yet Su Jiyai’s cold body started to warm up a bit.

The Third Vampire Prince’s eyes flashed with fury. “You.”

“Ahh! I don’t know as to why he is protecting me. But I hope he can dash out of the mansion. As long as I reach outside the mansion, I can open the portal.” Su Jiyai wished.

Jake lowered his head in surprise.

“It’s better if you give that cat me on your own, otherwise I will…” The third Vampire Prince started to threaten Jake.

Before he could finish, Jake moved. His vampire speed kicked in, and in an instant, he had Su Jiyai cradled in his arms, rushing toward the door.

The Third Vampire Prince lunged forward, but Jake was already gone, dashing through the mansion’s halls, moving faster than he ever had before.

Su Jiyai’s breath came in short, sharp gasps as she clung to him, too shocked to speak but relieved that Jake was rushing in the direction of the exit.

They burst through the grand entrance of the mansion, the cold night air hitting Su Jiyai’s face like a wave of freedom.

The vast courtyard stretched before them, but Jake didn’t stop. He bolted toward the forest that lined the estate’s borders.

“System are those vampires still chasing us?”

[Yes host.]

“How far are they from us?”

[They’re about 2 kilometers behind us, host.]

Su Jiyai’s eyes widened. Two kilometers wasn’t a lot, especially with the speed at which the vampires were moving.

“System, open the portal now!” Su Jiyai ordered.

A swirling portal of galaxy-like colors materialized a few meters ahead of them.

The vibrant hues shimmered against the dark backdrop of the forest, casting an ethereal glow around the trees.

Jake didn’t need to be told twice.

With a burst of speed, he sprinted toward the portal, holding Su Jiyai tightly in his arms.

The wind whipped through their hair as they drew closer, the sounds of pursuit growing fainter behind them.

Su Jiyai glanced over Jake’s shoulder, her heart pounding.

In the distance, she could make out the figures of the Third Vampire Prince and Ronald, their eyes glowing red with fury as they closed the gap.

They were fast—too fast.

But it was too late for them.

Just as the Third Vampire Prince extended his hand toward the portal, Jake leaped through it, the galaxy-colored vortex swallowing them whole.

In an instant, the world around them changed, and the portal sealed shut behind them with a resounding snap.

On the other side, Su Jiyai found herself in a vast, empty plain. The night sky above them was filled with familiar constellations, the air crisp and cool.

“System teleport me now!” Su Jiyai ordered.

Before Jake could react, Su Jiyai disappeared from his hand.

“You! How ungrateful you are!” Jake shouted but he wasn’t truly angry.

After all…he had gained something.
