Boogeymen's traces had been found around the cliff near the black sea. That meant it was around Constanta or Mangalia, a beautiful port city that connected directly with the black sea.

It could also be around the shores of the black sea, such as Sulina and the others, but Kai went to Constanta for now because it was the closest to Bucharest.

The city had a lot of beautiful resorts and beaches, and he could reach the city by taking a taxi.

With his current physical strength, it was possible for him to run even faster than a car. But he'd like not to waste his stamina and Spirit Power in case he met the Boogeymen's fake body or even its real body.

From what he heard about the Boogeymen from Grigori last night, the creature's real body was 3 times more powerful than its fake. That was based on what the Vampire lord saw 10 years ago when the Slayers Organization and the other Supernatural races banded together to seal the Boogeymen.

"Why are we taking a taxi?"

The girl who sat beside him was grumbling with a dissatisfied expression, looking at him.

"We can arrive faster if we run."

There was a reason why she talked about it loudly, without even trying to hide their conversation from the driver. It was because the driver was also a Vampire, and he was quite surprised when both Kai and Liliana stopped him.

Kai turned to the redhead. She still looked a bit displeased and rebellious. There must be a reason behind her action, but Kai wasn't curious enough to ask them about it. He was only curious about Supernatural stuff, not someone's personal affair.

"We're taking a taxi to save our stamina and Spirit Power."

"Huh? Don't you have, like… a ton? You're the Ruler, after all." The girl asked, looking at him with a confused gaze. "Why did you try to save your stamina and Spirit Power? You're still absorbing Nature power even now as we speak, so you can also absorb them naturally like Mythical creatures, right?"

"Indeed, I can." He nodded, giving her confirmation. "But that doesn't mean I want to waste my stamina and Spirit Power. Besides…"

Kai stopped explaining and turned his gaze past through the window. They passed some woods and mountains, following the road after the Taxi exited the highways.

"I can concentrate if I sit like this and try to find the Boogeymen's presence as we move."

"Hmm…" Liliana hummed and turned to the front. "If you say so. I am only here on my father's order. Don't misunderstand. I am not following you on my own accord, okay?" She continued, closing her eyes and leaning her back against the backrest.

"Just do what you want." He replied shortly and concentrated on his senses again.

While his Spirit Power and mastery over Ibaraki's power had grown, he was still far from mastering both of them.

His control was still atrocious. He spent a lot more Spirit Power than needed to use a technique or Talisman.

That was why he currently shackled himself so he wouldn't be able to use more than 10% of his Spirit Power to train his control. Thanks to Ibaraki's power, he could sense his Spirit Power more easily than before.

​ Naturally, this shackle was only something he made in his mind. He could always turn it off if he got into a fight.

'There is nothing around here.' He thought as he looked at the driver of the taxi.

The driver was calm, which was unnatural, considering he was just a taxi driver, and a VIP sat behind him.

Earlier, Kai tried to feel the driver's mood and emotion. It changed when they entered the mountainous area a few minutes ago. The previous nervous and giddy mood turned calm suddenly.

"Hmm?" Liliana let out a confused voice as her nose moved slightly. She turned to Kai and called out, "Hey. Did you feel something unusual? My nose picked up something."

"?" Kai was confused, but he concentrated once again.

It was said that vampires could smell blood in a radius of 5 KM. It wouldn't be strange if Liliana wasn't too different from normal Vampires, but with an enhanced smell.

If her nose picked up something, it must be blood. It could also be animal blood since they were driving through a mountain, but…

"It's close." The redhead fixed her posture and closed her eyes.

Even when they made such a commotion, there was no change in the driver's mood. Kai became suspicious of him and narrowed his eyes.

At that time, he picked up something with his senses, moving at a fast speed toward them from deep inside the mountain.

Liliana also widened her eyes as she shouted, "Something is coming here!"

Without wasting any more time, Kai grabbed Liliana and kicked the door of the taxi open. He picked up the girl and jumped out.

"He- Wait!"

"Keep still!"

Even when she struggled in his arms, he didn't let her go, and both rolled on the ground, only stopping after he planted his feet on the ground.

At the same time, it appeared. Something jumped out from the shadow between the trees, holding a big scythe in its clawed right hand and a lantern in the other.

Its body was covered in a dark blue old-worn rag. The body hidden beneath the rag was that of a bone. On its head was a pumpkin, carved like a ghost that came out from the night of the story.

A flame burned and danced out from its carved face, and its mouth opened wide, revealing sharp teeth made from old tree branches.

"Kakakakaka."

A mechanical laugh escaped its mouth as it swung its large scythe. The taxi was cut in half horizontally. Even so, the driver still didn't move and was still in his hazy state as his head was lopped out from his body.

The cut was clean, and the lower part of the taxi went straight to the cliff, falling from a great height and creating a loud explosion when it hit the ground.

Boom!

A black cloud rose to the sky as the mysterious figure kicked the top part of the taxi toward a tree. It got stuck, and the figure landed on it, crouching while holding its scythe over its shoulder.

"Kakakaka."

It laughed loudly as both Kai and Liliana looked at it. The Vampire girl apparently recognized the figure. Of course, Kai too.

There weren't many creatures and figures in the Supernatural World with a pumpkin head. Added to the rag and the flame that burned inside its pumpkin head, it was easy to guess who had just appeared in front of them and killed their taxi driver.

"Jack-o'-lantern." Liliana let out a surprised voice.

"Kakakaka!"
