Carrying this massive heart was extremely hard as the bird monster found it to be extremely heavy even though it was perfectly fine carrying a little house and several people on its back without any problem. Actually even though this heart was definitely large, it was not that heavy. So this bird should be able to carry it without any problem but the bird was unable to do it.

As everyone was unable to understand why that was the case, Elena decided to explain the reason to them as it looked like no one here was going to discover the real reason. Actually as this heart belonged to a powerful ancient being, it released a pressure around itself that could make weaker people with low levels to get a debuff.

This bird was big but at the end of the day it was only a C rank monster. Anyone whose level was below 200 would be affected by this debuff so obviously this bird monster was affected by it. On the other hand everyone present here except for Anne was above the level of 200 so they did not feel the debuff.

As for Anne, she was already quite tired after climbing down a mountain, so the debuff that he suffered did not feel unusual to her. She just thought that she was just tired after running around so much and that was why she was feeling weak. So she did not realise that she was affected by a debuff.

After Elena explained the situation to them, everyone understood. To test it, Anne walked away from the heart and after going about 15 meters away, her weakness was completely gone. This immediately showed that what Elena had said was absolutely correct, not that anyone had a doubt about what she said.

This made the situation troublesome. At first Turin was planning to carry the heart by himself in his dragon form but after knowing that he had to be separated from Anne to do it, he was immediately disinterested in it. This little dragon was really falling hard for her. That was why everyone was trying to think of a solution for this problem.

After thinking about it for some time, Elena smiled mischievously and proposed a solution. Elena could cast a barrier on Anne and then she would be able to resist the weakening effect of the heart without any problem. In that case, Turin would be able to carry the heart and could give Anne the experience of riding a dragon at the same time.

Turin immediately perked up after hearing this and started saying that they should leave the carrying of heart to him. Now he was in the mood to show off to his sweetheart. Turin's reaction was so obvious that all the ladies started giggling. For women like them who had experienced many storms in their lives, seeing such an innocent first love was quite entertaining. So just like that the problem with carrying the heart was solved.

...

After that eventful day, nothing special happened with the ladies. They talked with each other, enjoyed the amazing sceneries that the vampire continent had to offer and also they hunted for some animals and monsters when they were in the mood.

The most notable thing that happened was the attack of a S rank monster who was killed by Tomoe after a battle that lasted for only 5 minutes. If it was before Tomoe would not be able to defeat this monster so easily as it was not a weak monster but now she was able to easily take care of it. She had really gotten stronger.

For the last few days, Elena was cooking for everyone. She was not only a foodie but she was also a good cook. But she had never tried to make anything that would suit the tastebuds of a vampire and now she was trying to do just that.

Elena had her pride as a chef and she wanted to make food that would blow the mind of these vampires. They would have to bow down to her culinary skills. And that's exactly what happened. Elena went all out and researched what kind of food a vampire would like and then she even researched about everyone's personal tastes. Just like that Elena made food so good that it blew everyone away.

Today was no different as everyone was savoring their food in front of Elena's satisfied eyes. Turin and Anne always joined them to eat as missing Elena's cooking was a crime in their opinion. As for the heart, Elena used a barrier on it to prevent it from affecting anyone. Obviously Elena could do this and the bird would be able to carry it but then Turin and Anne would not get to spend their happy alone time. So for the time being, Elena did not go between these two lovebirds.

But that day the dinner did not go as calmly as they used to. That was because suddenly a group of people appeared in the clearing where everyone was camping to take the break. Even with the sudden appearance of those people, no one was surprised as most of the people present here had detected their presence way before their appearance.

The man who was in the lead had brown hair and red eyes. He was decently strong and was able to match Leshia in a fight. But Grace and Kaya could easily defeat him let alone the S rankers. But as all the people present here were not releasing their true aura, he was not able to judge their true power level. Actually it was Tomoe's doing as she was trying to master a disguise spell and had used everyone except for Elena for her practice.

The man in the lead spoke with a haughty voice and ordered all the ladies to line up on the side. From how he looked, this man was definitely having erotic thoughts in his mind after seeing so many beautiful women. But it looked like the task he was here to accomplish was more important and he was forcefully holding himself back from his fun.

Even though it was a serious situation, hearing this man's haughty tone, Alisia was not able to hold back her laughter and a "pffft~" sound came from her mouth. That man did not miss that laughing sound and got extremely angry and started to blubber.

This made Alisia to break and she was unable to hold back her laughter anymore and finally started laughing loudly without holding anything back. This made the man mad and he was just about to attack Alisia when he felt a slight sensation on his neck and then his head rolled down. All the people standing behind him had already been killed. Grace was responsible for this and she quickly lifted the head up and poured a green liquid on it.

This was a special medicine that could keep a vampire alive when with a missing body but at the same time it would inflict a burning pain throughout the whole duration. This was obviously torture and the break down in no time. From him everyone learnt that he was sent here by the head butler of the Moronto family to retrieve something that would react to a red bead. And that red bead was reacting to the large heart.

This whole situation was getting more and more exciting.
