"As you two can see, I'm in trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to come." Cruz's eyes were red. He gritted his teeth as he spoke to the two people beside him.The tall, blonde woman was Terryn, the Pope of Heaven Church. The old man with the golden cane was Elros, the Pope of the Zoros Church.They both came a long way from Villandus City. But after receiving Cruz's call for help, they came as quickly as possible.Whether it was the Lumen, Heaven, or Zoros Church, they all held the highest and most powerful positions in Western land.Although they often competed with each other, they all shared a common enemy—vampires, whom they had been fighting against for centuries."Lord Cruz, I can see this Eastern practitioner is quite tricky. But are you sure we need to join forces to deal with him?" Elros, who held the golden cane, turned and smiled slightly at Cruz.But the next moment, his smile froze as he sensed a dreadful power erupting from the front.Isaac held his Skyre

In terms of public appearance, Terryn's beauty surpassed that of Daliana, but her demeanor was more aloof. However, she expressed fear and extreme unease at this moment.She was aware that Cruz's strength might be slightly superior to hers. Even if she couldn't defeat Isaac, she assumed the three of them could win by joining forces.But it only took Isaac a few minutes to kill Cruz. The strength difference between the two sides was too great."I surrender!" Before Terryn could speak, Elros, who stood far away on the right, piped up.With one hand gripping his cane and the other raising, he took off his crown and bowed to Isaac.Elros was the eldest of the three popes with the most experience. Terryn hadn't expected him to be the first to surrender.He didn't care about his subordinates' stunned reactions or the missionaries' shocked gazes. He was well aware that Isaac could end his life at any moment.However, his role and goal weren't to deal with Isaac but the detestable vampi

Through the video, one of the guardians followed Harry's instructions and went to two towns in succession to collect the ingredients Harry had mentioned for the prescription.Isaac looked at Daliana, who was unconscious on the couch, and then turned to Rem, asking, "Who is the vampire patriarch?""He is the father of the first-generation vampires, the biological father of Bank and Calix, the progenitor of all vampires," she replied.Observing Rem's expression, Isaac squinted sharply and asked, "Do you mean the first-generation vampire from the Song of Valheist? The woodsman from the Legend of the Blood Moon?"Rem nodded eagerly and explained urgently, "He's the first-generation vampire patriarch. If he appears, all the vampires in the entire Western Land will submit to his dominion as long as he is willing."He can control both me and Diana too. That's why I said Daliana lied." She pointed at Daliana.Isaac looked at Daliana with a frown. He then dialed Robbie's number.The call

On the way back to the villa, Isaac recalled the book The Song of Valheist. If the contents were true, combined with what Robbie had stated about the Legend of the Blood Moon, it was possible that for hundreds of years, or even longer, the churches had emerged as organizations after the appearance of vampires.After those two forces formed a hostile relationship, they aimed to annihilate each other in the coming years. The three oldest churches in the Western lands, Lumen Church, Zoros Church, and Heaven Church, might have been constantly restraining the growth of the vampire forces.But now that Cruz had died, Lumen Church had suffered a great loss of strength. The hidden forces in the darkness had found an opportunity. That was why they mounted a night raid and wiped out Lumen Church's headquarters in one fell swoop. The balance of power between the three churches had been shattered.Isaac frowned as he stared out the window. When the car passed through the bustling city, he watch

Seeing Isaac squint, Bank had no idea whether Isaac was interested in cooperating, so he remained cautious.Unlike Calix, Bank knew Isaac, who was hundreds of years younger than him, possessed terrifying strength."What does it mean to be a permanent lord?" Isaac lit another cigarette and gazed at Bank.Bank thought Isaac was interested, so he immediately explained, "It means you'll have at least ten cities under your command. They'll be yours forever. Your future generations can inherit them.""It's hereditary succession, right? Cynea implemented this regulation more than 200 years ago."Bank added, "If you're interested, my father is willing to meet with you in person."It was an undeniably tempting offer. But Isaac was aware that he couldn't agree to such a cooperation."I need to think about it," he said to Bank.Bank's smile froze as he frowned slightly. "Mr. Garten, my father hopes you can answer him as soon as possible. Because... it's also a reward for saving me.""You
