"Task completed… auto mode deactivated".

Sato\'s eyes went back to normal and his body immediately started declining fast to the ground.

"Master!" Yuri called out, but before she could move, Divanchi had already gotten the better of her.

Divanchi leaped forward and grabbed Sato in mid-air before dropping anchor on the ground.

She held Sato in her arms while looking at him sleep, "You should really see your face right now." Divanchi smiled as she looked at him.

"Divanchi, you snake! How is he?!" Yuri shouted from afar before speeding straight to Divanchi.

In a matter of seconds, Yuri had already arrived in front of her with a worrisome look on her face when she spotted Sato.

"Is he?" Yuri muttered with uneasiness banging on her chest.

"Relax, he\'s just taking a nap." Divanchi uttered, standing to her feet as the rest of the elves surrounded her position.

They were all so excited about what they saw that they wanted to catch sight of Sato right away to praise him.

But instead, they got to see their leader, sleeping in Divanchi\'s arms like a tired princess.

On the hill where the mermaids performed their anti-mind control song, Erza, who was brought there by Sebastian finally woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes and the first thing she heard was an argument coming from inside the cave.

"Geez, what is your problem, I told you already, our songs don\'t work that way!" A feminine voice spoke.

"Don\'t call yourself short, all you have to do is make his eyes grow back, I promise you you\'ll be very much compensated." A masculine voice spoke after.

Erza sat upright on the ground, looking up, she noticed the moon rising, "It\'s nighttime already,....".

"How is it nighttime? How long was I out?!" Erza exclaimed, instantly standing up from the ground.

Since she was standing at the edge of the cliff, Erza could see a bit of the destruction that happened around.

What even shocked her more was when she couldn\'t see the roof of her mansion, which should be easy from how high the cliff was.

"What the hell …?" Erza muttered, she turned and got ready to exit the cave when she saw Sebastian standing behind her.

He was so shocked to see her awake that words couldn\'t leave his mouth at that moment.

"Sebastian, great, you\'re here." Erza spoke as she approached him, "What happened here? Have you seen what\'s going on at home?".

"Oh.. yes Milady, it\'s not pretty is it?" Sebastian replied, looking at the ground with a sad look on his face.

"Of course, it\'s not, come, I need to speak to father at once, while I do that, you help search for Sato, I have a bad feeling about this." Erza ordered as she walked away.

Before she could get far, she glanced at Elena resting on the wall, unconscious with a few bruises on her body.

With an immediate stop, Erza was quick to realize that Elena was one of Sato\'s subjects. She looked at Sebastian and this time with fury in her eyes.

"Sebastian, you are going to tell me what happened here, now!" She asserted, storming toward him angrily.

The three mermaids hid inside the cave while peeping at the drama going on between Sebastian and Erza.

...

Erza touched down on the ground with Sebastian holding Elena behind him.

She noticed the tremendous damage that had been done to the mansion but she didn\'t pay that any mind.

"Father! Father!"

Erza cried out, looking around to see if she could find her father or at least get a response from him.

"Milady… over there." Sebastian voiced out, pointing to the group of vampires that were bowed on their knees.

Erza ran toward the gathering, her face filled with both happiness and joy when she found her father, resting his back on the wall with a bottle of saké in his hands.

"Father!" Erza called out, running past the crowd before giving a big hug to Vlad.

"Erza, I see Sebastian did well to protect you." Vlad uttered, looking at Sebastian who in turn bowed his head.

Once she had enough feel of her father, Erza pulled away and looked at him, "Father, what happened to the mansion? And why are they all knelt here?" She asked curiously.

Vlad shook the bottle of saké I before taking a huge gulp with an "Ahhh!" sound following right after.

"Even during difficult times, this never fails to make me happy." Vlad muttered before taking another swig.

With a sigh, Erza held Vlad\'s cheek and pulled her face closer, "Dad I\'m serious, have you seen the garden? It\'s a complete… wreck".

Erza slowed down when she finally noticed something, Vlad\'s eyes had been closed the whole time and she could see the dry trail of blood from his eyes to his cheeks.

"Turns out your old man isn\'t the strongest after all." Vald uttered, taking again, another swig of the saké.

"Your eye?... It\'s gone?" Erza raised a question before falling to her knees right in front of her father.

All the Vampires watching looked away, feeling blameworthy that they took part in the attack against Vlad.

Not all vamps were hypnotized by Gudan, but those who were felt guilty and shameless, mostly because they were insulted by their peers.

Vlad placed his hands on Erza\'s head, even though he couldn\'t see, he was still able to sense his daughter\'s sadness.

"You say that like it\'s a bad thing, the curse I held on to for 400 years has finally been served from my existence, cheer up." Vlad consoled her

"If that\'s the case, I want mine removed also!" Erza voiced out with her left eye glowing.

"Don\'t be stupid, you were born with yours, I merely stole mine, while mine is a curse, yours is not, you should treasure it".

Sigh!

"I\'m just glad to see you\'re okay, that said…

." Erza turned around to see the destruction around her.

"What are we going to do about this".
