บท 39: The Castle Is Going To Collapse
บรรณาธิการ: Dragon Boat Translation
"Damn it, if this continues, the castle will collapse!"
Zelaski frowned. He looked at the shaking gate of the castle not far away and couldn't help but curse. Then, the Viscount powers in his body flew out to control the vibration.
There were different races in this world: Humans, Demons, Elves, and the Blood Clan.
The division of strength among the Blood Clan was quite simple. There were five ranks of nobility: Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Baron.
Only a 5th grade noble would have the power to turn other living beings into their Blood Clan.
The power of the embrace was lower than the strength of one's title. The embrace of a Baron was for ordinary Blood Clan members, and their strength was based on the strength of the demon beast.
The strength of demonic beasts was divided into six levels: Ordinary, Intermediate, Advanced, Epic, Legendary, and Ancient Legendary. Under each level, there were nine stars.
The upper limit of an ordinary Blood Clan member's strength was only a high-level five-star demonic beast.
Now that Zelaski was a vampire Viscount, his strength was comparable to an epic five-star.
Therefore, he should have been able to easily control the vibrations in the castle. However, he found that he could not stop it at all.
There seemed to be some mysterious existence outside the castle that was interfering with all this. And that unknown power was very strong, scaring even Zelaski.
"Damn it! This isn't an ordinary earthquake. It's the effect of a demonic beast that's far beyond the legendary level!" Zelaski's face was extremely serious.
If it truly was a demonic beast that far surpassed the legendary level, then the possibility of his plan being affected would be even greater.
At that moment, the island's shaking became increasingly more intense, and the entire sea area was churning.
The huge waves of the ocean rose to the sky and hit the shore. A gust of wind blew, and the violent tide swept away the sand and stones on the beach.
The shaking of the ground caused the houses, which were not of good quality, to collapse one after another. Many trees were also crushed, and the entire island was in chaos.
Countless ordinary demonic beasts began to run around, looking for a place that could save their lives.
Even the Naga Tribe was not spared. The buildings there began to collapse one by one. The mountain where the mine was located began to crack and collapse, and pieces of gravel began to roll down. Some tall trees began to collapse due to the shaking.
"Hurry up and arrange for the clansmen to avoid the tremors! Don't let any more innocent nagas die!"
Medusa was in the village at this time. Her voice spread throughout the village, and all the nagas who heard her words immediately took action and began to move toward the nearest shelter.
Boom!
A thick, ancient tree collapsed and crashed into a small river, splashing water everywhere.
"Hurry up, hurry up, do you not want to live anymore?"
"Bastard! You stepped on me!"
"Argh! My shoes!"
Under Medusa's command, all the nagas began to move. Some of them fell or knocked over things in a hurry. In short, all kinds of situations occurred.
Medusa looked worriedly at Long Tian's mine when she saw this. Her eyes were filled with worry.
"I hope Master can return safely."
Medusa sighed inwardly. She knew that the matter she encountered this time was no joke.
...
At this moment, a huge eye slowly opened at the bottom of the deserted island.
The pupil of the eye flashed with a rich golden light as if it could penetrate the void and shoot straight to the top of the sky.
At this moment, some of the Water Clan members near the deserted island were stunned.
Suddenly, they stopped moving and dove back into the deep sea, as if they were shocked by something.
It also seemed like they were afraid of something.
The eye slowly flickered for a while, and a low mumbling voice came from the bottom of the sea.
"The aura of a dragon and a Heavenly Demon. No wonder it could wake me up from my sleep."
This mumble seemed to possess some kind of magic, causing many of the surrounding sea creatures to shiver.
"Not bad. A dragon with a Heavenly Demon's body. It seems like this world is going to have a storm soon. However, this guy actually appeared on my body. Interesting."
The huge eyeball slowly turned and aimed at the island behind him, as if it was trying to find out the situation of the entire island.
"Hehe, it's been so many years. There are actually so many more demons on it."
The owner of that eye revealed a smile after discovering the existence of these demons.
"No matter what, since you've chosen me, I won't let you down."
But soon, the Black Tortoise sensed the group of vampires in the depths of the island.
The golden pupil slowly turned for a while, as if it was thinking about something.
"Oh? It's those guys."
The golden pupil looked in a certain direction on the island. Those few Blood Clan members actually dared to peep at its body, it was truly an unforgivable crime.
Soon, a terrifying force landed on the Blood Clan's territory.
"Rumble~~~"
The island trembled, and countless rocks fell. A large amount of lava flowed down through the cracks and gushed directly into the territory of the Blood Clan.
"Roar!"
Countless vampires roared and began to escape.
However, they realized that they were too slow.
"Bang Bang Bang~~~"
The invisible ripples spread out, and any Blood Clan member who touched them instantly exploded into a mist of blood. They didn't even have the chance to scream before they turned into a wisp of red smoke and disappeared.
The Blood Clan members who had not been attacked also knelt on the ground, waiting for the lava to rush over.
The lava flowed into the Blood Clan's territory, dyeing a large area of the land red.
"Ah..."
Countless Blood Clan members let out shrill cries. They frantically grabbed the ground with their hands in an attempt to resist the scorching heat.
"Pfft~~"
Some of the Blood Clan members couldn't take it and immediately melted into the blood.
"Help, help!"
The Blood Clan members struggled madly and tried to escape. However, the lava was too fast, and their escape only delayed the spraying of the lava.
Soon, countless Blood Clan members were devoured by the lava, turning into streaks of blood that floated in the air.
This scene was seen by Zelaski, who was still in the castle, and he was so scared that his body turned cold.
He had never expected this to happen, but he quickly realized what the tremors were.
The Black Tortoise that suppressed their Vampire Count had awakened!
"Argh! I'm not willing to let the plan that I've been planning for so long be ruined just like that!"
Tears of blood rolled down Zelaski's face, but it was useless.
The castle instantly collapsed, and Zelaski could only quickly escape if he did not want to be swallowed by the lava.
He could sense that there were only a dozen or so vampires left with decent strength.
