The vampire was unable to gaze into the eyes of the devil hunter. Even if William had the intention to ruin him, he should have tried to figure out what race the victim was.
The victim was a vampire.
Did William think that the two fangs on the vampire were props?
William noticed that the vampire was not speaking, so he gave him another slap. Unfortunately, one of the fangs dropped out..
The face of the vampire became swollen. He immediately waved his hand and said, “I’ll tell you. Do you wish to know who killed everyone in this castle?”
“Cut the crap!” Violent Dragon loudly laughed and moved a needle that was stuck on the vampire.
The vampire inhaled a gust of cold air. The pain in his butthole was unbearable, and his eyes almost popped out. He did not dare to waste any more time. He was fearful of William and his gang.
The fellows in front of him were very different from the normal fearful devil hunters.
Whether the vampire was in bat form or an invincible body, these fellows were not fearful at all.
The gang leader seemed to know a lot about the vampires, and he had a deep hostility against them.
The vampire swallowed hard and said, “Stop, stop! I’ll tell you everything.”
“The castle in front belonged to the Lex clan. On a night 18 years ago, the Lex clan was attacked by the Bruce family.
“It was a battle in which the Lex clan was unprepared for. The Bruce family entered the castle as friends, and when a signal was given, the Bruce family cut off the defensive magic formations of the castle. Attackers charged in and killed everyone within the castle.”
“Killed everyone?” Diablo coldly laughed.
The restrained vampire looked at Diablo. He pondered and muttered, “Perhaps, not everyone was killed. The son of the castle lord vanished. But he was only a twelve-year-old kid, so nobody bothered about the matter.”
“You’re the sole survivor of the Lex clan…” The vampire was in disbelief. “Why did you come back. Since you managed to survive and leave, you shouldn’t have come back. The attack on the Lex clan had the silent approval of Bernard and other vampire clans. It’s not as simple as you thought.”
William curiously looked at the vampire. Did this vampire utter these words with good intentions, or was he dampening everyone’s mood?
But since the mission was rated at the S level, how could William give it up?
William asked, “What’s your name? What’s your relationship with the Bruce family?”
“You may call me Durand. I’m not on good terms with the Bruce family.” Durand wanted to explain his bad blood with the Bruce family.
But William interrupted him. “What’s the reason that the Bruce family wanted to exterminate the Lex clan?”.
“Blood essence of the Blood Dragon,” Durand said without hesitation.
William and his companions were not to be trifled with. The six of them managed to infiltrate deep into the East Sea Metropolis without any fear. Durand realized that they must be very powerful, so he decided not to antagonize them.
“Perhaps you don’t know about the blood essence of the Blood Dragon. But to the Blood Race, it’s a priceless treasure. It’s like a God’s relic.
“The Lord had been eyeing the blood essence. The location was depicted on four separate maps. Bernard had one. But someone told Bernard that the Lex clan had another map!”
Durand inhaled deeply before he continued. “But the Lex clan was Human. They were not vampires, even though they were loyal to Bernard. So even if they had found the ‘Blood essence of the Blood Dragon’, it was of not much use. It was better for them to present it as a gift to the Lord, so they had no reason to lie to Bernard.
“Bernard had never doubted the loyalty of the Lex clan. Thus, the matter was not mentioned anymore.”
“But after some time, the various factions in the Blood Race started a secret war!
“The leader of the Lex clan was fatally wounded. He wanted to become a vampire and wanted Bernard to have the first bite.”
Durand noticed their doubtful gazes and said in a low voice, “That’s right. It’s not a big deal for a dying man to desire to become a vampire.
“At that time, Lord Bernard was also seriously wounded. If he were to give the Lex clan leader a bite, he would have to incur a large amount of power and blood essence. More importantly
“The Lex clan leader had sworn to the Gods that his clan would never become vampires.
“But the Lex clan leader seemed like a possessed person. He wanted to become a vampire.”
ome a
“As you know, the stronger the Human, the harder it is for him to become part of the Blood Race. So even if the Lex clan leader was dying, if he became a vampire, he would have tremendous power.
“So, besides Lord Bernard, no other people could convert him to a vampire.
“Once Lord Bernard granted him his wish, the Lex clan would have become the most powerful clan in the East Sea Metropolis.”
Wells waved his hand and asked, being bewildered, “Wait. I heard that once a vampire converts his victim, isn’t the victim under his control?”
Durand was befuddled at his question. “Which novel have you read? Get the author here so that I can beat him to death.
“Our inheritance comes from the Blood Dragon. Only the Blood Dragon could control us. A vampire can convert his victim into a vampire, but that is only for expanding the Blood Race.
“Having the blood essence of the Blood Dragon is different. Once a vampire discovers the blood essence of the Blood Dragon, he could control the life and death of other vampires.”
“Oh, so did Bernard start to doubt the Lex clan leader?”
“That’s right.” Durand nodded and said, “Lord Bernard did not convert the Lex clan leader into a vampire. Hence, the leader perished and was succeeded by his son. But Lord Bernard had become wary of the Lex clan.
“Then the Bruce family suggested the extermination of the Lex clan in order to obtain the coveted map.
“Lord Bernard chose to be silent!”
“Tell me, have you found the maps?” Diablo grasped the collar of Durand, his eyes looking as though they were spewing flames.
“Cough, cough. Release your grasp.” Durand’s air pipe was punctured by the steel needles. After coughing out fresh blood, he licked his lips and said, “I don’t know. I really don’t know. The devious scheming of the Bruce family caused the extermination of the last Human clan under Lord Bernard.
“After that incident, the powerful Humans did not dare to approach Lord Bernard even if they knew they could enjoy immense power in the East Sea Metropolis as his subordinates. Humans became wary of the Blood Race.”
William laughed. “I thought that the vampires could do better. Why are you wary of each other just because of the ‘Blood essence of the Blood Dragon’? Take me to the Bruce family. Vengeance shall be sought today!”
Buzz!…
Ripples were felt in the air.
Durand smiled and said, “It’s not necessary. They’re here. I’ve said before. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to do so…”
“Nonsense. Do you think I’m afraid?” William sniggered. He held the Thunder Blade in his left hand and the Sword of Hegni in his right hand while he stepped on Durand’s chest.
William looked at the hundreds of bats and loudly laughed as he said, “Vampires of the Bruce family, come and accept your deaths. Bernard, if you’re clever, stay aside. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
William’s voice was like a thunderous explosion that emanated in all directions.
However, an invisible barrier rose up.
The voice reflected off the barrier, so it did not transmit to the ears of the commoners.
Hundreds of bats arrived at the abandoned castle. When the leading bat transformed into a handsome man, the other bats also changed into human forms.
Bernard was a Grandmaster vampire.
And there were a few vampires who were also at the Grandmaster level.
Bernard had a lasting smile on his face. He looked curiously at William and his four companions, who were powerful Advanced professionals. They had great potential.
There was another fellow who had vanished in the city.
But it would be of no use. Even if he went to the Temple of Light to seek assistance, the leaders of the Temple of Light might not be bothered.
Bernard glanced at the dying Durand before gazing at William, who was emitting the brilliance of lightning. “Who instigated you to create trouble?”
“What? Apologies! I’m the one who is instigating trouble.” William narrowed his eyes. It was a dangerous situation with this many Grandmaster vampires. The number was more than what William had encountered in his previous life.
“What’s your name?” Bernard did not look at William. He gravely looked at a warrior who was holding a war spear.
Diablo returned his gaze. Bernard had not partaken in the clan massacre, but he had given silent approval. Bernard was indirectly causing the death of his clansmen. Diablo said in a deep voice, “Diablo Lex.”
“You’re the lad who escaped?” Bernard walked towards Diablo. He wanted to touch Diablo’s hair. Diablo watched Bernard coldly until he gave up the idea of touching Diablo.
“Diablo, you didn’t do any wrong. I’m pleased that you’ve grown up. If you want revenge, you can tell me about it. I’ll give you and the Bruce family a fair duel.” Bernard turned and walked off.
Bernard’s voice became icy cold. He turned his head abruptly and said, “But you can’t bring outsiders to East Sea Metropolis for vengeance. Who gave you permission for such audacity?”
Diablo remained silent. All metal parts within a range of a hundred meters were quaking. The metal microparticles also started to accumulate.
The eyes of Burned Cinder became red hot like the scalding lava.
The ground underneath Wells started to tremble. Mud engulfed his body and created a tough outer armor.
Violent Dragon pitted his fists together while his body emitted blinding flames that continued to grow.
William smiled and kicked Durand away. He looked at Bernard and said, “I gave him the audacity to take revenge. Are you unhappy?”
“Who are you?” Bernard was surprised to see the latent power of William’s companions.
Because these Advanced professionals were very powerful!
They were much more powerful than Bernard when he had been at the high-level.
Their endowments were not true indications of their capabilities. The great potential of William’s companions made Bernard have thoughts about killing them.
“I’m the Lord of the City of Dawn, William Blackleaf. Are you going to help my subordinate take revenge? Or do you prefer for me to start the battle?” William Blackleaf lifted his hat and revealed his face that had the symbolic sharp ears.
Once the words were uttered, all the heartbeats of the vampires started to race.
Was he the famous Lord of the City of Dawn in the Legendary continent?
The royal bloodline of the Blackleaf clan?
And the possible consort of the Moonlight Elves, William Blackleaf?
More importantly, he had elite legions and hundreds of thousands of soldiers who could revive!
How did the vampires know all these?
Because the Temple of Light publicized the facts for the City of Dawn.
William had obtained a benefit when they had done so.
