"Angel." A masculine voice said from behind Cheon.

"Hm?" Cheon hummed in question as he turned around whilst wondering if this 'Angel' theme would persist, it started with the child and now it was the man as well as the residents of New Moon City.

"The young lady has ordered for you, come with me, or I'll make you." The man said threateningly with a deep scowl.

"Oh? You'll make me?" Cheon said with a lighthearted smile as he walked slowly toward the man.

'Are you sure you want to take this fight? They may not be from the same group but they're all here for you.' Jasmine said to Cheon before Xin chimed in.

'I recommend making a run for it, you're not at the level to fight all these people.' Xin said with a mix of certainty and concern in her voice, it appeared as if her recent outing with Cheon had quite the effect on her feelings toward him, something both Cheon and Jasmine noticed.

'No need to worry.' Cheon replied as a sinister smile appeared on his face causing the cultivator in front of him to narrow his eyes and raise his guard.

'Fine.' Jasmine said before falling silent.

As Jasmine said they were all here for Cheon but he knew they would begin to fight each other soon, after all, everyone couldn't have him, only one group would walk away victorious but they all just didn't know it would be Cheon himself.

"You have no cultivation, don't test my patience, Angel." The man said sternly as he watched Cheon approach him, in his eyes Cheon was simply a handsome face with little value, his mistress would play with him before discarding him, that was all.

In response to the man's words, Cheon merely chuckled and unlike usual, he didn't try to reign in his emotions and hide his devilish smile, he currently looked nothing like the Angel they claimed him to be, but the monster he knew he was.

Now, the man wasn't lying in any way, Cheon indeed didn't have any Profound cultivation like everyone else present did. At the very least, each cultivator here was the True Profound Realm which was the third of the nine mortal realms of Profound cultivation.

"I'm curious," Cheon said as he continued walking towards the shorter man.

"Why do you call me Angel?" Cheon asked as he stopped in front of the man and looked down at him causing the cultivator to fall silent for a few moments before replying calmly not at all affected by Cheon who was within crusading distance.

"That was the name you were given after entering the city, word of your beauty being akin to an angel traveled fast throughout the city." The man while releasing a sigh, he felt as if this was all unnecessary, sure, Cheon was the best-looking being he had ever encountered but a cultivator's goal should be cultivation, not the satiation of lust.

"Interesting, although it would have been better for you all to not have jumped to that conclusion by calling me an angel..." Cheon said as he shook his head feigning pity for the beings present.

"Back away from the Angel now." A feminine voice sounded from Cheon's left while pointing a sword at the man whom Cheon had been speaking with.

'And so it begins...' Cheon said internally as he saw the man in front of him reach for his sword and grit his teeth in preparation for battle.

CLANG!

The sound of the man and woman's swords connecting sounded throughout the forest and this moment marked the beginning of the battle. With the two starting a fight everyone began to fight and their goal was all the same, capture Cheon Ma, The Angel of New Moon City.

80 cultivators could be seen inside a forest battling to the death for a singular Vampyre, Cheon. Slash after slash and clang after clang, deaths were happening all around him but Cheon himself didn't mind, it was an interesting show, all of these cultivators fighting was interesting, and although it was different it brought me back to my time as Vlad The Impaler, war, at times, was a beautiful thing... it truly was.

"Move it!" A man shouted as he slashed the head of a woman off in an attempt to reach Cheon who was now sitting on a tree branch with a lovely smile on his face, he was enjoying myself, why wouldn't he smile?

"I will have you, Angel!" A woman screamed as she stabbed a man through the heart and looked at Cheon with bloodshot eyes accompanied by pure and blatant desire.

'You are truly a dangerous man... Just the sight of you was able to drive these people mad...' Jasmine said incredulously while Xin hummed in agreement while feeling understanding for the cultivators who were dying, she, unlike them, had been in his arms before and she knew that feeling was far more intense than what they were experiencing now, their crazed state was justifiable in her eyes.

'Well, I do believe it has to do with my cultivation, as it grows so does my appearance.' Cheon replied, he hadn't been cultivating for long but he was able to sense and feel the effects immediately.

'Still, this is ridiculous, just look at them... they're like untamed animals.' Jasmine said as she watched the cultivators who were supposed to be calm at all times in a frenzied state, well, all but one, the man Cheon had spoken with earlier was just as calm as he should be, and it was due to this that he was still alive despite fighting multiple opponents.

'Indeed.' Cheon replied feeling amused by this situation, he was a new man compared to the past but even so, this was a good show.

Slowly but surely the battle between the cultivators came to an end until everyone who had come to kidnap Cheon had died, even the calm cultivator from the start was no exception. The cultivators all had either bled out, been mutilated, or something else happened that ended their lives, none but Cheon himself was standing.

'Hm, it's gotten dark.' Cheon said inwardly, due to the show he hadn't paid much attention to the sky and it was now nighttime, not that it mattered to him in the slightest, he was The Noblesse Of The Night after all.

"Well, the shows over, so now for my part," Cheon said as he jumped from the branch he was seated on and landed on the ground.

Upon landing, Cheon snapped his finger causing all of the blood that was still within the bodies of the eighty dead cultivators to surge outward and rush toward Cheon before forming a singular marble above his index finger, he had compressed the blood just as he did before.

With the first part of his test over, Cheon ate the blood marble before immediately feeling a sense of peace overwhelm him, but along with it were souls, eighty souls of a quality he hadn't encountered before.

"Heh." Cheon chuckled slightly as he felt that he could summon one of the souls within his as a familiar with ease, it appears that his abilities still worked on cultivators at this stage.

'Cultivators do indeed have odd tendencies.' Cheon said inwardly as the memories of eighty beings played through his mind seamlessly, he was watching the lives of the dead he had absorbed from start to finish and while some were interesting, most were boring.

"Hmm..." Cheon hummed in thought as he began to make his way back to the waterfall where he trained before heading toward the city, there was no other reason for him to stay in this place.

While making his way back toward the waterfall Cheon thought of his current plan, he, as mentioned was planning on following some of Yun Che's steps and that meant that he was also going to try and get the elemental seeds the Heretic God left, and while he wasn't certain they would have any benefit for him since he didn't follow the Profound Path, a boon was a boon and Cheon was certain he would find a use for it, plus he would never leave such a thing alone for anyone else to stumble upon.

The way Yun Che got the Fire elemental seed in the canon of Against The Gods was simple, while training at the waterfall, he saw some cultivators flying above him and decided to trail them on foot, soon he reached a place where a Fire Dragon resided and while the cultivators baited and fought the dragon, Yun Che snook into the Dragons cave and stole the seed, Cheon would do the same.

'Home sweet home.' Cheon said inwardly as he arrived back at the waterfall, it hadn't taken him long to arrive since he flew.
