Bab 1035: -1022- Who will he his next target
Before this, not only Nelapsi, but even the Warlord Dominion and the Dynasty of Destruction have experienced vampire infections.
In the Warlord Dominion, the Ardeal Principality, a state belonging to the Warlord Dominion, experienced a vampire infection. It's an important autonomous territory within the Warlord Dominion, home to numerous vampire nobles whose military power rivals that of any nation, even surpassing some major powers, making it quite formidable.
While in the Dynasty of Destruction, the vampire infection occurred in the northern eight provinces.
The ruler of these northern eight provinces is none other than the direct line of the second Primogenitor, the ninth prince of the Dynasty of Destruction, Iblisveil Aziz.
Just like Nelapsi, these two major territories experienced vampire infections, with most of the populace turning into irrational vampires, causing significant unrest within the territories and drawing attention from various countries.
After all, if such a dreadful infection were to spread globally, it would be catastrophic.
Fortunately, unlike Nelapsi, both the Ardeal Principality and the northern eight provinces have long and powerful histories as autonomous territories. Under the suppression of numerous ancient vampire nobles and military forces, the vampire infection did not spread beyond their territories and was well contained.
In contrast, within the Nelapsi Autonomous Territory, the infection is still spreading and becoming increasingly severe.
In this situation, the Nelapsi Provisional Autonomous Government actually attacked the Caucasus region of the Dynasty of Destruction, leaving the ruler of the northern eight provinces, the ninth prince of the Dynasty of Destruction, Iblisveil Aziz, in a state of uncertainty. Rozen didn't believe for a moment that this was a coincidence.
Therefore, Rozen almost immediately guessed.
"Perhaps Iblisveil Aziz is another Candidate?"
Previously, Natsuki had mentioned to Rozen that troublemakers from the Warlord Dominion, the Dynasty of Destruction, and the Chaos Zone, the three empires of the night, had come to Itogami Island, excluding Balthazar Zaharias. Now, it seemed that Iblisveil Aziz represented the Dynasty of Destruction's Candidate, while the Candidate from the Warlord Dominion was in the Ardeal Principality. Therefore, these two major territories experienced vampire infections similar to Nelapsi's.
On the other hand, there has been no news of a vampire infection in the Chaos Zone, which remains relatively peaceful internally.
This made Rozen unable to determine who the Candidate in the Chaos Zone was.
However, there was one thing that could be confirmed.
"The banquet has begun..."
The appearance of the vampire infection is a result of the awakening ceremony for the fourth Primogenitor.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why only these three major territories experienced vampire infections.
At the same time, because the ritual has begun, Nelapsi attacked Iblisveil Aziz in the Caucasus.
"This is an attack initiated by Balthazar Zaharias to obtain the matrices held by another Candidate, isn't it?"
In order to obtain the weapon known as the fourth Primogenitor, Balthazar Zaharias didn't hesitate to attack the Dynasty of Destruction's territory, drawing the ire of the Dynasty of Destruction and ultimately leading to the current situation where both factions are on the brink of war.
In the eyes of others, Nelapsi's actions are undoubtedly a path to self-destruction.
You see, the Nosferata are a group of lower-class vampires, even considered a type of demon that cannot summon beast vassals. Although they gain considerable power by embedding magical artifacts within their bodies, their confrontation with the Caruana Territory, which is part of the Warlord Dominion, was already their limit. Compared to the Night Empire led by the Primogenitors, they are undoubtedly weak.
These Nosferata have already defeated the Caruana family, seized their territory, and are currently in a state of conflict with the Warlord Dominion. Now, they are actively provoking the Dynasty of Destruction. Isn't this simply asking for trouble?
However, if people were aware that Balthazar Zaharias possesses four complete matrices of the fourth Primogenitor, capable of controlling four beast vassals of the fourth Primogenitor, they would not think that Nelapsi is on a path to self-destruction.
If he only had one matrice, capable of controlling one beast vassal of Primogenitor level, then Balthazar Zaharias wouldn't be too troublesome. The second-generation royal families have the capability to eliminate him.
Even if one beast vassal cannot match Balthazar Zaharias, as members of the second generation, the direct descendants of the Primogenitors, these powerful vampires don't just have one beast vassal. If they unleash all their beast vassals, they can suppress a beast vassal of Primogenitor level. However, Balthazar Zaharias possesses not just one, but four.
Even ordinary royal families may not possess four beast vassals. Faced with four beast vassals of Primogenitor level, no matter how powerful the second generation is, they can only end up defeated.
"Iblisveil Aziz was defeated in this manner, wasn't he?"
In this case, Balthazar Zaharias probably acquired more matrices, becoming even more powerful.
In that case, even the Primogenitors might not be able to easily deal with Nelapsi.
If not for this, the Dynasty of Destruction wouldn't have just issued an ultimatum to make Nelapsi compromise; they would have already taken action to annihilate Nelapsi's Nosferata.
The reason they didn't is simply because they fear the beast vassals in Balthazar Zaharias's possession.
"I never expected that a mere arms dealer would climb to such heights."
But that's not all.
Next, Balthazar Zaharias will take action.
To awaken the true fourth Primogenitor, he will use the matrices in his possession to retrieve the remaining matrices.
So...
"Who will be his next target?"
Will it be the Ardeal Principality in the Warlord Dominion?
Or the Chaos Zone, whose Candidate is still unknown?
Or...
"Will it be us?"
Rozen can already feel the threat closing in on himself.
Given this, Rozen has a premonition.
"Before long, Itogami Island will once again face turmoil."
At that time...
Rozen couldn't help but look at two girls.
He looked at Avrora, and then at Nagisa.
"What's wrong, Nichiyo-kun?"
Nagisa, sensitive to Rozen's gaze, turned her head, blinking her eyes in confusion.
"Mm...?"
Avrora also tilted her head, looking equally puzzled.
"Nichiyo..."
Kojou seemed to understand something, looking at Rozen with a complicated expression.
In response, Rozen took a deep breath, giving everyone a sudden smile.
"It's okay, we just need to focus on ourselves."
Rozen dismissed all the tension with a light tone.
"Let's go, it's time for school."
After saying that, Rozen approached, turned off the television, and walked towards the door.
"W-Wait up, Nichiyo-kun!"
"D-Don't leave me behind!"
Nagisa and Avrora quickly followed, too preoccupied to dwell on it.
"Really..."
Kojou scratched his head and sighed.
"Forget it, I'll just go with the flow."
Kojou hurriedly caught up.
And so, the group left.
Unaware, behind them, ripples shimmered in the space.
A petite girl emerged from within.
"That's right."
The young girl murmured softly.
"You just need to live like ordinary people."
Leaving these words behind, the girl turned around and disappeared.
Leaving the living room in silence.
