章 38: The Master of the Blood Clan, Zelaski
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
In the depths of the island, at the most central position, a magnificent castle had inexplicably appeared.
The castle was completely gothic in style. It was cold, luxurious, and mysterious. Under the sun, it emitted a blood-red glow. From afar, it gave people a feeling of endless fear, as if this castle would choose people to eat and swallow them into its stomach.
The demon tribes around the castle had long been destroyed, and there were only a few left. Occasionally, the miserable cries of wild beasts could be heard.
As for the people from the clan, they had already gathered in the vicinity of the castle. With blood-red pupils, they looked at the tall and majestic castle that exuded a strange aura.
The Blood Clan that Land Tiger previously mentioned had already occupied this place. The slightly powerful demons in the surrounding tribes had all been forcibly converted into Blood Clan members.
As for the weaker existences, they were all turned into nutrients.
At this time, in a luxurious room inside the castle, there was a huge coffin. The coffin's surface was carved with exquisite lines, making the entire coffin exude a holy, yet also seemingly evil aura.
Bang!
The lid of the coffin suddenly opened, and a man wearing a black-red robe and a pointed hat slowly walked out. His body was shrouded in a thin layer of blood mist, and two blood-red claws were faintly visible on his arms.
His eyes glowed with a scarlet light, and his gaze was solemn.
He was the Lord of the Blood Clan in this place, Zelaski.
He had sensed Long Tian's intense aura earlier, but it did not attract his attention.
After all, in this world, there were many powerful creatures. Regardless of how powerful the other party was, they would not be able to threaten him.
Now that he had woken up, it was entirely because he had sensed that the Blood Clan member below him, Sky Eagle, had died.
Sky Eagle was one of the vampires that he was most satisfied with when he decided to occupy this deserted island. It could be said that Sky Eagle was both his right and left arm.
In addition, he was the most crucial existence in his plan, which was why he had given him the Blood Stone.
But now…
His heart was heavy, and his expression was even uglier.
Although the Blood Clan was powerful, they also needed resources to maintain their powerful strength. The Blood Stone was one of the best resources.
Now that Sky Eagle was dead, the Blood Stone was nowhere to be found. This would undoubtedly affect his plans. He had to find the Blood Stone as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking as such, Zelaski snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, a series of crisp footsteps could be heard. Then, a man who was dressed the same as him walked in, but his aura was much weaker.
The man was accompanied by a weak rabbit demon who was trapped by a rope. At this moment, the rabbit demon was trembling all over. Its eyes were filled with despair and pleading. Tears flowed down its cheeks as it struggled desperately, trying to break free from the rope's restraint, but it was all in vain.
"Master, you're awake. I've already prepared a fresh meal for you."
The food that the man was talking about was the rabbit demon.
Zelaski nodded and reached out his hand toward the demon rabbit.
He grabbed the demon rabbit in his palm as if he was holding a pet dog. Then, his sharp teeth pointed at it.
They stabbed into the rabbit demon's neck, and a large amount of thick blood surged, which Zelaski immediately absorbed.
The rabbit demon's eyes rolled back and it fainted in Zelaski's hand. He let go of the rabbit demon, and it fell to the ground, its body completely shriveled up.
A smile appeared on Zelaski's face. "Good blood food. We need to prepare more of this."
As he spoke, he placed his hand on the demon rabbit's head and rubbed it forcefully.
"Sky Eagle is dead, and the Blood Stone on him is gone." Zelaski's tone was cold, and his eyes kept changing, showing that his thoughts were very complicated.
He raised his head and looked at the sky.
At this moment, the sky was the same as usual without any unusual changes. However, for some reason, he felt a sense of oppression from the sky.
He couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
"Sky Eagle? Wasn't he an extremely powerful exotic beast? Could he have betrayed us?"
Zelaski shook his head. "If he betrayed us, we should be able to sense it. Additionally, since we took over this area, there have been no other living things in this area except you."
"Sky Eagle was indeed killed. I could sense that the other party was very powerful. Sky Eagle was killed even after using the Blood Stone."
Zelaski's eyes locked onto the young man standing beside him.
"I want you to investigate why Sky Eagle was killed and who killed him."
The man nodded, then said to Zelaski, "Master, a very powerful Demonic Aura suddenly appeared on the island. Could Sky Eagle's death be related to that terrifying Demonic Aura?"
Hearing this, Zelaski raised his eyebrows. The powerful Demonic Power had indeed surprised him.
He then said indifferently, "Elaborate"
The man lowered his head and said to Zelaski with great respect, "My Lord, could it be that some mysterious Great Demon has descended on this island? I'm afraid he's here to ruin our plan."
"Hmph, a mysterious Great Demon?" Zelaski's voice suddenly turned cold, and he stared at the man with cold eyes.
"It seems that this matter is not as simple as it seems. Go and bring some experts to investigate the matter of the Demonic Power. We can not let our plan be affected in any way."
"Yes, Master." The man immediately bowed and said.
Zelaski waved his hand, and the man disappeared.
Looking at the man who disappeared, Zelaski's eyes flashed with a murderous light. Then, he slowly got up and walked toward the coffin.
He was going to sleep for a while longer to maintain his best physical condition so that he could welcome the day when his plan was completed.
'My Lord, please hold on for a while longer. Everything will be easier when Master awakens. Once you recover from your injuries, there will be no one who can match you.'
Just as Zelaski laid down in his coffin, he suddenly sensed a slight change happening on the deserted island.
Then, he saw the coffin start to shake.
Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong!
The shaking of the coffin became more and more intense, and there was even a dull knocking sound.
"What is happening?" Zelaski was confused. He didn't understand why the coffin began to shake.
However, he soon found the reason.
It wasn't the coffin that was shaking, but the entire castle, and even the entire Island, that was shaking.
