## Chapter 1390 – 1390. God’S Atlantis
The black-haired little girl with pale skin stared at me, her red eyes wide.
“Daddy?”
The girl called me with a bewildered title.
But the bewilderment was only for a moment. My mind quickly processed the situation.
Actually, I’ve experienced this kind of situation quite a bit. In the ‘Vampire Detective’ world, a young woman suddenly appears and calls me Dad.
‘I’ve been through it about 10 times.’
At first, I thought they were trying to scam me out of my money, but genetic testing revealed that they were all my daughters. Well, it was true they approached me for my money.
‘Because in the Vampire Detective world, I was just using my dick as I pleased. And I didn’t have the ability to control pregnancy yet.’
I’ve touched my daughters. Maybe it was because they took after their mothers, but most of them were beautiful. If an ugly daughter appeared, I’d give her some money and send her away.
‘Honestly, I didn’t even feel like the women who suddenly appeared were my children.’
I had no paternal love. I don’t know if it’s because it’s my nature, or because I didn’t acknowledge them as my children.
‘Maybe it’s the latter. If I imagine Yuriana and Elena having my children, I feel like they’d be my children.’
In short, that was it. The difference between acknowledging a child as my own or not.
I looked at the girl again.
‘She seems a bit too big to be my daughter?’
The girl looked about 10 years old. And it was about two years ago that I came to Atlantis. Even if I had a child back then, she wouldn’t be older than 3.
“You’re my daughter?”
“…Aren’t you the Heavenly Demon? Sister Kasha said Dad was the Heavenly Demon.”
“I am the Heavenly Demon. Who are you?”
“Bathory Ersia.”
Ersia clearly stated her name while looking at me. At that moment, Ok-jeong squeezed between me and Ersia. She stood in front of me, as if protecting Ersia, and tensed up. Ersia’s attitude was, in a way, very arrogant.
“M-Master. Ersia is…”
“You don’t have to say it. I know. She must be Bathory Erzebet’s daughter.”
Bathory.
As soon as I heard that surname, I could roughly figure out what was going on.
I had impregnated Erzebet. To create a child. More precisely, to use a vampire’s child as a subordinate. Erzebet was originally brought in for that role.
‘If she’s a vampire, this ridiculous growth rate makes sense.’
Since she’s not human, it makes sense that she’s different from humans.
‘Hmm.’
What should I do with Ersia?
‘She looks like she’ll be quite a beauty when she grows up.’
I didn’t feel like she was my child.
But I have no intention of denying that Ersia is my child. Ersia inherited my blood, and she was a being born out of necessity.
‘Thinking like that, I guess I feel a little bit of paternal love.’
I chuckled and said,
“I’m your dad.”
“Really?!”
Ersia ran past Ok-jeong and rushed towards me. I grabbed Ersia with both hands and lifted her up. The first time I held my daughter, she was warm and heavy.
“Daddy!”
“Yeah.”
“Heavenly Demon!”
“That’s me too.”
Ersia, who was happy, suddenly became very subdued. She looked at me with eyes that seemed to be on the verge of tears.
“…Why did you come now?”
“I was busy.”
I wondered what a child would like. While pondering, I grabbed Ersia and moved her around. But Ersia’s face was turning sour.
“Put me down.”
“Why? Don’t you like your dad playing with you?”
“There’s no way this is fun. And Dad… do you really think of me as your daughter?”
“You are my daughter.”
“Then I’ll be the successor of the Heavenly Demon Church, right?”
“……”
It was an unexpected remark.
“See? You can’t answer.”
“…I was just a little surprised. I didn’t expect you to declare that you’d kill me and take the Heavenly Demon’s position right in front of my face… You’re amazing, even though you’re my daughter.”
“Huh? I, I never said I’d kill Dad!”
“Taking the Heavenly Demon Church means that.”
“T-Then I won’t do anything like being the Heavenly Demon.”
“Suit yourself.”
I put Ersia down. Ersia glanced at me for a moment, then hugged my right leg.
‘Why is she so strong? Is it because she’s a vampire?’
She seemed to be beyond the level of an ordinary human. Ersia buried her face in my side and rubbed against me.
“So this is Dad.”
“This is Dad? Well, whatever.”
I asked Ok-jeong about Ersia’s stats. But the answer came from Ersia. Ersia clearly read her status window.
「Name: Bathory Ersia
Class: Dhampir
Title: One Who Walks the Crimson Future
God Seat: Countess of Blood
Affiliation: 8th Atlantis
Strength: 44 Agility: 31 Stamina: 30 Mana: 61 Luck: 13
Unique Trait: Blood Demon Body (A)
Trait: Bloodsucking (A)
Skills: Blood Magic (B). Swordsmanship (B).」
‘She’s amazing. Her stats are better than most exiles.’
Ersia looked like she was 10 years old, but her actual age was less than 2. Considering her age, she wasn’t just outstanding, she was incredibly outstanding.
「The King of the Demonic Heavens is observing your daughter.」
「The King of the Demonic Heavens laughs. He confirms that Ersia is definitely your daughter. He senses the Heavenly Demon’s power from your daughter.」
Ersia’s unique trait, Blood Demon Body (A).
It was undoubtedly a unique trait that manifested under the influence of my trait, Heavenly Demon Body (S). The King of the Demonic Heavens’ reaction confirmed it.
‘The possibility of it being a coincidence is low. Even so, I didn’t expect the Heavenly Demon Body to affect my child’s unique trait. Is it the influence of the luck stat?’
I stroked Ersia’s black hair. Ersia would grow strong quickly. Her outstanding stats were proof of her talent.
*Chomp*
“Agh!”
Ersia bit my side. And she bit really hard. Looking down, Ersia had her fangs sunk into my side, sucking my blood. Her expression was dazed, as if she were drunk.
“Ack! Stop! Stop sucking!”
I hurriedly grabbed Ersia and lifted her up. Fortunately, Ersia didn’t resist. Bright red blood dripped from Ersia’s mouth. It was my blood.
“Oh my god! Ersia!”
Ok-jeong was flustered and wiped my side. She glanced at me. It felt like she was worried I might kill Ersia.
I felt a little wronged by Ok-jeong’s gaze. Even I wouldn’t get genuinely angry at my daughter’s prank.
‘……No. I should be angry at this point since she drew blood, right?’
Ersia still had a dazed look. Maybe it was because she was a dhampir. I decided to let it slide this once.
“Ersia. If you want to drink blood, ask for it. Don’t just sink your fangs in without saying anything. I can give you as much blood as you want.”
“Daddy. Daddy is so delicious.”
“……That sounds a little strange?”
“Why is Daddy so delicious?”
“Because I’m a delicious man.”
“M-Master…!”
I was just joking, but Ok-jeong turned red and was horrified. I shrugged as if to say it was okay. In reality, the two small holes in my side were already healing.
“I’ve decided.”
Ersia said suddenly. Her eyes looking at me were very intense.
“I’m going to earn Dad’s recognition.”
“I already recognize you.”
“Liar.”
“……What are you going to do with my recognition?”
“I’m going to surpass Dad, and I’m going to have Dad.”
“Have me? Why?”
“Because Dad is delicious.”
“Am I being treated like food…”
It seemed to be a vampire’s instinct. By the way, is my blood that delicious? I took the blood on my side and put it in my mouth.
It tasted like iron.
“She’s very bold, just like Erzebet.”
“From my perspective, she looks a lot like you, Master.”
•••
I met Bathory Erzebet.
In my memory, her atmosphere was dark and cold. She was gloomy to the point of madness.
“You’ve changed.”
I don’t feel any madness from her now. There’s no gloom either. She’s smiling even in the dark room.
“That child changed me. I still resent you… but more than that, I love my daughter, Ersia.”
“She was quite cute.”
“My dear. Ersia is my daughter and your daughter. I know I cannot stand by your side, but… your blood flows in Ersia’s body. Please don’t forget that fact.”
“I know.”
•••
A pair of siblings with red hair and red eyes stood before me. Both had sand-colored skin and distinct features. Especially the girl, she was wearing quite revealing clothes.
Ahmad Nakbi and Kasha Nakbi. The siblings reacted differently to me.
“Heavenly Demon! I have been waiting for your return!”
*Thud!*
Ahmad Nakbi shouted while prostrating himself on the floor. It was a prostration that was quick enough to elicit admiration.
“Why did you come now?!”
Kasha questioned me with a tearful face. She approached me as if she was going to hit me, then hugged me tightly. I wrapped my arms around her exposed waist. The smooth and warm sensation made my heart beat faster.
Just as my hand was about to move down to caress her buttocks, Kasha grabbed my wrist and stopped me.
“There’s no time for this. Do you even know what’s happening to the Heavenly Demon Church right now?”
She said with a serious expression.
I pushed my disappointment aside and asked her.
“What’s going on?”
“A rebellion has broken out. My brother and I tried our best to handle it… but it’s already too late. The Heavenly Demon Church is on the verge of falling into the hands of the rebels.”
“That’s absurd. They start a rebellion just because I’m gone for a bit? Who’s the ringleader?”
“Karok Rios.”
“I’ve never heard of that name. What kind of guy is he?”
“He’s the successor of the Black Sand Crocodile tribe. He’s recruited desert warriors and started a rebellion.”
“Black Sand Crocodile tribe? What kind of tribe is that?”
“……”
Kasha looked at me with an expression that seemed to ask if I was serious.
Even if she looks at me like that, I can’t help it. I’ve never heard of Karok Rios or the Black Sand Crocodile tribe.
But if a rebellion has broken out, there’s only one thing to do. I slowly got up from my seat.
“The house is in disarray, so I need to clean it up. Where are the rebels?”
