Chapter 217: Chapter 173 History_1
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, threw the man on the ground like a dead pig, then arrogantly sat down, coldly staring at him.
Next to Duanmu Huai, Greiya, Bambi, and the Watchmen were also watching him closely.
Especially Bambi, she still looked angry. It was clear that she was very upset about someone taking over her home.
“Alright, start talking. Who are you? Why are you here? Why did you capture Bambi?”
The man’s previous arrogance was completely gone. Perhaps it was because he had witnessed the Demon God he worshipped being defeated by Duanmu Huai. He now looked as pale as death, quickly confessed and explained everything.
And this, started from the very beginning of the Vampire Clan.
Like what was said before, vampires like Bambi, are almost perfect creations. More importantly, they are all immortal beings, they will never die unless killed.
This naturally aroused the humans’ envy. As Bambi said, there was a time when humans, in order to gain immortality, even deliberately deceived vampires’ feelings, making them their kin. However, the vampires soon discovered that these humans were only deceiving them for eternal life, so they stopped believing in humans and closed off their kingdom under the queen’s order, living their own peaceful lives.
But humans wouldn’t give up so easily, and this man was one of them. Once a king of a country, as a human, he naturally desired immortality. However, since the vampires shut their kingdom, he wasn’t given any chance, which frustrated the king. And at this moment, a mysterious person appeared before the king and made a suggestion.
If he could consume the flesh and blood of a vampire, he could inherit their powers and gain immortality.
Upon hearing this, the king naturally acted on it, but… how could vampires be so easy to deal with?
If they were so easy to destroy, the vampire clan would have been wiped out long ago. Aside from that, there was an impenetrable magic barrier surrounded the Vampire Kingdom, prohibiting any creature from entering. Under such circumstances, even if one wanted to attack, there was no way to do so.
Yet, the mysterious person provided the king with a way to break the magic barrier. He suggested that the king offer the fresh blood and souls of his family members to form a contract with a powerful Demon God, and in this way, the magic barrier of the Vampire Kingdom could be easily broken.
In the end, the king, driven by his desire for immortality, followed the mysterious person’s suggestion, killed all his blood relatives, and offered their souls and fresh blood to the Demon God. He received a powerful crystal filled with magic power that could shatter the magic barrier of the Vampire Kingdom.
So, on the day of the new moon, the king led his army to the Vampire Kingdom. He threw the crystal filled with fresh blood and souls towards the barrier. Not long after, the barrier shattered, the thick scent of blood and the shrieks of the undead instantly engulfed the entire royal city of the vampires.
Despite being vampires, they were not undead beings, but rather living creatures. Thus, in the face of the overwhelming aura of death and the scent of blood, their strength was significantly weakened. Then the king led his army into the city, slaughtering the vampires who were celebrating the New Moon Boundary, and then…
Seeing Bambi looking pale and shaking next to him, Duanmu Huai cut off the man’s narration. He signaled at Greiya who nodded in response and put her hand on Bambi’s body to steady her.
“Bambi, you’re tired. Let’s go rest.”
“Yeah… Bambi doesn’t want to hear anymore… ”
At this moment, Bambi nodded in fear, and was led away by Greiya. Only after the two left did Duanmu Huai look towards the man again.
Next, just as Duanmu Huai had guessed, the man and his soldiers slaughtered all the vampires, devoured their flesh and blood, and under the crimson moonlight, they transformed into new monsters.
However, they quickly realized that the vampires they became were fundamentally different from pure-blooded vampires like Bambi.
They didn’t breathe, they didn’t have a heartbeat, and they needed to drink fresh blood to survive, otherwise, they would fall into a slumber. They couldn’t bear sunlight, and they couldn’t eat anything else either.
The furious king found the mysterious person again, asking him the reason. He found out that the ritual to transform into a vampire was not complete. Only by absorbing the most pure essence and fresh blood from the royal bloodlines, and using it to taint the Vampire Clan’s core relic – the Ancient Scroll, could they become pure-blooded vampires instead of inferior products.
In the Vampire Kingdom, only the queen and the princess possessed this pure blood essence.
The queen, in an effort to protect her subjects, was completely destroyed in the combat with the Demon God and her soul was imprisoned in the Obliteration Domain. The princess’s whereabouts were unknown. So, since then, the king had been sending people everywhere to look for the missing princess, until recently, when he finally found a clue and located the princess.
