Before Tristyn and Aiden Zones arrived at the barrier, Carlos was already thrashing the vampires that attacked him. Some of the opponents were strong, but they couldn’t defeat Carlos even when they banded together.One large male vampire with twin braids entered the scene, proclaiming. “I’m Beron the Destroyer! I’ll take on you!”“I don’t have time or the interest to fight second-rate trash,” Carlos side-stepped and dodged his quick punch before slapping him with the back of his hand, which sent him spinning to the ground.“H-He defeated The Destroyer in one hit?” the onlooking vampires were stunned. “How did he do it?” Even though they all witnessed it with their own eyes, they still couldn’t believe it.“If he can call himself a destroyer, then what am I?” Carlos asked them while punching the barrier. Everytime his fists clashed with the barrier, shockwaves spread around him and upset the onlookers.Everybody thought he was practicing his strength by punching at the barrier, which w

A few hours later.Vril brought a young child over to Akira who was put in a room and was still allowed to wear the mask and the black cloak.“If you kill this little girl, I’ll consider letting you go,” Vril said and tossed the girl into the room. “You have 24 hours to make a decision.” Saying that Vril shut the door and left.The little girl seemed five years old at best, and she was trembling. Her darkened and swollen eyes suggested that she was starved and physically abused.Akira frowned.“I’ll do anything you want, so please don’t kill me,” the little girl begged while trying her best to not make eye contact with Akira and keep her gaze downward. Her knees must be hurting because she fell when Vril had thrown her, yet she was not showing the pain in her face. She definitely must be going through more pain than just in her knees, but from how she was bearing all that pain, Akira could imagine how they conditioned her to not even cry or complain about the pain.Akira greeted her

In Vril’s tower.A guard in silver armor rushed over and kneeled before Vril. “Lord, we’ve received news that the intruder has defeated the squadrons of three great families.”“What about Darrell?” Vril asked calmly.“H-He’s also been defeated, Lord. His blood was sucked away, and he’s not in a position to fight,” the guard said, trembling because Vril’s energy started leaking in the hall. And it was oppressive enough to terrify the guard even though this wasn’t his first time feeling such dark energy.“I didn’t expect Darrell to lose,” Vril smirked. “It seems this brat is growing stronger with every fight, especially after drinking the opponent’s blood.” He paused for a second. “Blood Awakening… I wonder how he attained something no pureblood I know was able to attain. I thought it was just a myth, but it turns out that this blood awakening allows one to drink even a vampire’s blood without any issues.” The thought alone tempted him greatly. “If I were to drink the blood of other pur

In Vril’s tower.The guard in the silver armor hurriedly entered the hall and kneeled before Vril. “Lord, the six great families are not able to stop him. Iblis Beast is dead. Roven ran away. The zombified humans who couldn’t fly were ineffective against the intruder who could fly. Low-level vampires are also utterly useless against him. In fact, he’s strengthening himself using his blood. So, I think it’s best that you send only the strong vampires after him.”“Many members of the six great families are not here right now,” Vril said. “My children aren’t here, either. That’s a bummer. If even Iblis couldn’t stop him, I think he’s grown strong enough to the point that most life leechers wouldn’t even be able to face him.”“From what I heard, Iblis was fighting well, Lord. However, the blood in his belly expanded, and he blew up into bits,” the guard explained, keeping his head low. His eyes were glowing red, for he was a blood sucker created by Vril himself almost a decade ago.“His c

Setting someone on fire with their gaze? What Samael had done with his gaze alone was something that neither Akira nor Carlos had seen a vampire do.It was no ordinary fire because it managed to burn every bit of Revon’s body, leaving nothing but ashes behind.“You came here by yourself and made things easier for me,” Samael said, smirking, and then raised his hand. Carlos’ body was pulled toward Samael against his will.“Kugh,” Carlos resisted with all his might and managed to stand firm on the floor. To add to that, he released a burst of energy that freed himself from the mental pressure that Samael had tried to put on him.Allegra was surprised, but she stepped forward.“Stop,” Vril told her, freezing her in her steps. In a flash, Vril appeared behind Carlos.Carlos’ eyes were barely able to track Vril’s movements. And so he glanced over his shoulder.“I don’t want blood to be shed in my castle,” Vril said. “It is unfortunate that Revon died, but…” he looked straight at Samael. “I
