"Open this gate, now-!"
"If you wish to escape from this hell, do not resist!"
The Vampire nobles spat out some words in Spirit Speech that were filled with demonic energy.
"We promise that whoever decides to open the gates shall be spared!"
That was a lie.
Not a single one of the measly humans in this city would survive the night. They would all die after their blood was sucked dry.
However, humans were animals that allowed their emotions to make decisions for them. There was no doubt that they would struggle pathetically in order to survive after failing to hold onto their reasoning in this extreme situation.
It was right then – the castle gates actually opened up.
"Ahaha, as expected, they have given up."
"But of course. They might as well throw open the gates wide and welcome... us...?"
Just as the triumphant Vampires shifted their gazes to the front...
The darkness enveloping the palace was suddenly dyed in bright light.
