Chương 24: Greetings, Maximus

River of Origin was the big river in Royalty Pack entering from the east and leaving it from the west. It was a big body of water that divided the oval Werewolves settlement into two big landscapes, the Left Shoulder and the Right Shoulder, each of the lands having a mighty mountain bordering the periphery of the settlement.

The river having divided the land of the settlers to its will, the settlers also divided it from the beneath into two equal halves using the Vamus Rock — Vamus, the hardest material ever known which was synthesized using the blood of living Vampires, in this scenario mixed with an original rock.

In the event of an emergency war, the Royalty Pack settlement had numerous Escape Tunnels designed for residents to escape. Located in the middle of the settlement, the Royal Castle stood in the east while the old Royal Castle marked the western side. Positioned below in the middle of the River of Origin, these two structures served as the sole barriers interrupting the uninterrupted stretch of the strong Vamus Rock, which spanned from east to west.

The Royal Castle had all the major Escape Tunnels from every direction extending to it, and it was the only way through which it could be invaded by outsiders. For such a reason, it had Blue Forces dispersed in it.

Armless and the other six were currently making their way through the north-western main tunnel to reach the new castle. Despite the darkness, they easily defeated every Blue Force member they encountered. The powerful Gold Gang Electeds were determined to continue their journey and the presence of the opposing forces was not enough to deter them.

Despite their expertise in the acts of murder, one of the Electeds had to die in blocking a Blue Force's bite aimed at Max's neck. His bleeding to death was something that kept replaying in the Vampire Slave's memory. An Elected of the remaining ones happened to be a friend of the deceased, and therefore he felt amenable to carry the dead body with him.

In spite of their rigid persona, Max learned that the Electeds could speak, just that it was part of their training to favor silence all the time; they could easily become good friends with introverts, well.

Max attempted to use Void Emotion multiple times as his small group encountered the Blue Forces, but he consistently failed to pass the trials. Despite his repeated attempts, the Vampire System failed to provide him with any notifications regarding the weapon. Nevertheless, he could still observe an icon on the left side of the screen indicating that the weapon remained present within the system.

Their journey was a long one but was coming to an end just like any other thing else ends with time.

And it was at this moment that Armless shifted back to her Human form since there happened to be no Blue Force nearby. "Why do you look so freaked?" she questioned Max's frozen face with a giggle. Her flower scent was nowhere to be found, replaced by desiccated blood odor embracing her whole body.

"So deadly ya are more than ya look to appear." Max walked away into the door they just unlocked, the welcoming silent darkness giving him some sort of comfort as the four Electeds followed behind him. "When is all this ending?" he sounded exhausted.

[You are in need of human blood]

'Come on Maxy, don't complain that this is not how you should be living your life. You brought yourself here, and you must not give up.'

"I think you still have the map with you?" Armless advised Max to bring out the map.

Max sighed. With the wet map in his hand out from his dress, a red dot blinked indicating where Evelyn was. Unknowingly and all softly, he glued his eyes at it doubtingly.

"In my opinion, the second phase of the battle will soon start, so it is advisable you stop freaking, okay?" Armless slowly walked towards the final exit of the neverending darkness. "Or do you want to rest more?"

'So I had been resting, huh?'

[Blood Time: 5h: 4m: 1s remaining]

[Drink a human's blood to avoid turning into a Wild Vampire]

'Stop showing me this you damned fucker! Where in the hell do you want me to get a human's blood?'

Max slowly followed closely behind her. "Is Robert still damming trailing us?" His voice was frustrated and tired.

Robert was simply a pain in the ass. Knowing he was inside the tunnel from far behind, they had to rush all their way or else the situation would get worse and impossible to handle.

Without a response, Armless simply nodded. "I don't hope so." she finally said after some thought. "Don't be afraid to kill whoever tries to kill you. This is my advice, I personally don't like how you were earlier fighting with mercy."

Max's face appearing exceptionally moody, he thought: 'Ha, ha, ha funny. Here comes the greatest joke of my life. Did I ever tell you that I am a fighter? No, I am fucking not a fighter alright! If Gold really meant a good deal, why hasn't he sent you people on your own? Oh fuck, as if I can patienly wait for you.'

Thank goodness, Max's moody face didn't show his thoughts or else he would have appeared extremely angry and frustrated which was... funny.

Not shifting into any form, Armless calmly waited for an Elected to unlock the next door. Descently confusing that she had a key to every locked door they came across.

'Who knows what her past looks like to have access to each door.'

It took the Elected some while but finally, the door was unlocked and opened. Pushing its way in through the door was an eye blinding white light. The six invaders were in the darkness for a long time, and thus, it took a while for their eyes to welcome the irritating sudden change.

Ahead of them, appearing to their view in her full strength and glory of a royal spirit, a gentle, beautiful lady in a white wedding gown awaited their arrival. Royal Forces plus an outstanding aged man noticed their presence, but none of them even moved as a result of shock or something like. It was as if they could mean no harm to any of them.

"What took you so long, gentlemen and woman, to keep the only Princess of her father wait this long?" Hazel addressed Max and his people, her eyes on Armless.

Concurrently, "I AM SHITTING ALL OF YOU TO YOUR DEATHS!" Robert's voice mixed with the anger of seeing his people dead all the way down here greeted Max's ears out from the dark tunnel.

'Oh my damned fuck.' Max's eyes widened. It felt to him like his greatest damnation was telling him "Greetings, Maximus."
