"Are those two going to be alright?" Alice asked worriedly as both her and Lily sat down in meditative position and they could hear the explosions resounding from where they were.
"...Probably, but we shouldn't be worried about them. We need to focus on ourselves right now." Lily said as pink mist escaped from her body, she manipulated the illusions to look like weapons and launched them at the wall. The blades struck the wall , creating dents in it, making Lily smile as the blades disappeared in a cloud of pink mist.
"So your illusions can become real now?" Alice asked and Lily nodded her head.
"[Illusory Affinity: Reality] that's what the ability is called. It basically allows me to give my illusions property and mass, something I have been wanting to do for ages. But, the illusions aren't strong enough yet, and since I've been out of it for the past two weeks, I haven't been able to practice much. Hopefully I'll be able to improve it enough to actually hurt a tier 5, what about you?" Lily asked and instead of answering, Alice held out her hand and three blades of hardened blood appeared in her hand. She threw them forward, but after traveling a few meters, shadows wrapped around them and they reappeared beneath a chair nearby, impaling it.
"I can combine [Shadow Step] and [Blood Hardening] to teleport my attacks, just like you said. Plus I can control the [Flash] skill now and learned the [Blood Misting] and [Shadow Misting] trait." Alice said and Lily nodded proudly. [Blood Misting] was a rather nasty trait that allowed the user to turn into a red mist, that allowed them to enter another's body. Using this trait, she could drain the blood from someone's body by allowing mist to enter them, sucking them dry like a juice box. Alice was a bit reluctant to learn this trait, but she eventually did, and it took almost the entire two weeks to learn, and she hasn't been able to try it. The [Shadow Misting] was a similar trait, allowing her to turn her body into purple mist, that she could use to hide in someone's shadow. It was a perfect stealth technique as the mist was near undetectable.

The entire family has hunted heavily in the past two weeks, raising their levels exponentially. Alice has managed to gain nine levels and she realized just how hard it was for a tier 4 to gain exp, which made her a bit frustrated. She wanted to evolve again, as did all demons.
"So, I guess you and the other vampires are ready for your scouting mission?" Lily asked, it was decided that with their [Beast Transformation] and other stealth skills, the vampires were the best option to scout the enemy. Colin strongly rejected the idea, not wanting to put his lover in danger, but Alice convinced him, stating that they would all die if they didn't gather any information, which is why they will leave the following night.
"Yes, Beatrix, Esmin and Henry are ready." Alice said and Lily sighed
"Be careful ok." She said and hugged her
"Don't worry, I will."
*********************************************
The research center, the building the leprechauns used for research, was abuzz with activity and loud noises echoed everywhere. The building was quite large and split into many section, with one section for blacksmithing, another for testing, another designing and others for research. The building, like all others, were created from stone and Earth, but this building was more reinforced than the others as the walls were destroyed mode than once since it's creation. In one section, Bartholomew and a few other leprechauns from the family as well as from the Bartus guild were designing the gun Colin mentioned. High penetrative power, long distance, all the leprechauns from the family immediately thought about a sniper rifle with large bullets, and powerful piercing power, and they quickly got to work.
"Move you slow piece of shit!!!" Nisha, a leprechaun Horder, shouted at the computer as it website loaded slowly.
"Have patience, it will load eventually." A leprechaun said to her, as he placed the scope onto their prototype weapon. The weapon was sniper, red in colour with spots of gold. A leprechaun from the Bartus guild came forward and started carving the runes into it.
"I can't, who knows when that demon bastard is going to attack, we need to hurry." Nisha said and glared at the computer
"Smashing it won't make it go any faster." The leprechaun reminded her and she took in a deep breath
"I'm a bit excited, I have been training for war for years, but I have never actually fought in one." The leprechaun said, clenching his fist
"Uh huh, you excited about risking your life and rushing to your death? Moron." Nisha snorted
"Risking our life and rushing to our deaths is all we have been doing since we became demons." He said
"That is kinda true, but those were beasts. These guys are demons, who are who knows how old, they have way more combat experience than we do and probably way more powerful." Nisha said
"Even so, maybe it's just the demon part of me talking, but I'm excited. I want this gun to work, and I want fight these guys...for my liege and family." He said excitedly and Nisha shook her head, not wanting to admit she felt the same way.
