The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 66 66: You've Just Waged A War



Atlas feasted on the blood of Carlisle.

Carlisle tried to resist, but he couldn\'t. He couldn\'t do anything but scream. His body had stopped listening to him. It was as if he was paralyzed from top to bottom as Atlas feasted on his blood.

Before long, he couldn\'t even speak. His face started turning pale. His deep red eyes started losing their shine as all his nerves started turning pitch black.

He didn\'t even have enough strength to ask Atlas to stop.

After a long time, Atlas finally moved back only to watch the lifeless eyes of Carlisle. His eyes stayed open even as he died.

Blood trickled down Atlas\'s lips which he wiped using his hands. "For what you did, this isn\'t enough. I wanted to torture you daily for all of eternity for what you did, but I couldn\'t let you live for a single day more."

He stabbed his hand into the chest of Carlisle and pulled out the heart of the old Vampire.

"Even you had a heart... If only you could use it that day..."

Crush~

Atlas crushed the heart before tossing what was left of it away to find Lilith fighting a group of Vampires. Severis was nowhere to be found.

Atlas appeared behind Lilith, crushing the neck of a Vampire who was about to attack her.

"Where is Severis?"

"That coward is trying to run away. But he can\'t go anywhere," Lilith smirked. "Let me finish these kids, and I\'ll explain more."

"We don\'t have time to play around," Atlas reminded Lilith before pulling out the hearts of two more Vampires.

"On the contrary, we have lots of time to play around now that you\'ve crossed the first Bloodlust. One thing we don\'t lack for now is time," Lilith smirked as her figure disappeared.

Thrust~

She stabbed a knife in the chest of a Vampire. The Vampire dropped to the ground.

Atlas grabbed two Vampires by their hair and smacked their heads with such force that their skills shattered. "I thought knives couldn\'t kill the Vampires. How did you do it?"

Lilith smirked in response. "There are many things you don\'t know. You haven\'t even lived for twenty years, after all. It would be surprising if you knew everything."

The two kept talking as they killed the Vampires in their surroundings, using teamwork. It was as if the two of them were having an unofficial competition about who could kill more Vampires, the Ancient Witch or a kid in the body of a Progenitor.

Unfortunately, despite his fast speed, Atlas seemed to be losing this completion.

Lilith had already killed more than him, and there weren\'t many left.

Atlas killed the last one, still losing by two.

"You\'re getting pretty good at using your strength," Lilith commented.

"I\'m getting somewhat better, but you... You\'re on a different level altogether."

"Meh, not even a fraction of the level I used to be at. But for now, it\'s enough." Lilith shrugged.

"So, where is Severis? You said he ran, but he can\'t run away. What did this imply?" Atlas asked. No matter where he looked, he couldn\'t see Severis. It appeared as if he had run away a long time ago.

Lilith smiled in response. "I wanted to have some fun with him since he called me a kid, so I did let him run, but he can\'t leave this city. I\'ve left a Soul Mark on him. He can\'t go more than a thousand feet away from me, and even then, I can locate him."

"Come, let\'s go meet the one who thinks he can call me a kid." She stretched her arms as she yawned while flying south.

She hadn\'t used her body in a really long time. To be inside her body once again, she felt really great.

****

In another place, Carlisle was pacing back and forth in frustration. No matter how much he tried, he couldn\'t get out of the city. It was as if there was an invisible barrier that was preventing him. Whenever he tried taking a step ahead, he was pushed back.

After a long time, he finally gave up. He didn\'t know what it was, but he was sure that it was the doing of the Witch.

"So there is no way out of the city. Does that mean the only way out is my liking that Witch? If I had known before, I wouldn\'t have attempted this escape. Instead, I would\'ve helped him..."

"By now, he must already be dead. I\'m left all alone. Do I really have no other choice?"

"You do. You can just die." A calm voice fell in his ears as a blast sent him flying back, straight in the hands of Atlas, who was waiting for him.

Atlas grabbed the collar of Severis and brought him thrashing down to the ground.

"All that\'s left is you now. The person who fed us... The person whose house we grew up in... The person who didn\'t think twice before abandoning you." Atlas grabbed the throat of Severis as he kept his body grounded.

Lilith also came from help. Vines came out of the ground and wrapped around the arms and legs of Severis so he couldn\'t move.

"I abandoned you? What are you speaking? I didn\'t even know you before you came to my castle to destroy it! If anything, you hurt me for no reason at all!" Severis stated.

"Just because you\'re a Fourth General Vampire, don\'t think you can do what you want. What you did here today, the Blood Council will get to know of it. You have just written your death sentence today. Let me leave, and I might plead to them to have mercy on you!"

"You will plead to have mercy on me? Well, aren\'t you kind?" Atlas couldn\'t believe what he was hearing. This man was talking about mercy on others. "Why this sudden change of heart? I thought you didn\'t like having mercy? Or is your mercy only reserved for people who are stronger than you?"

"Anyway, I am not sure about what this Blood Council is, so I don\'t think that threat will work on me," Atlas responded lazily.

"You idiot, you don\'t know what Blood Council is? Heh, don\'t worry. You\'ll soon find out. You can kill me today, but when they come looking for you, you\'ll have no path to survival. The Blood Council is ruled by the Second Generation Vampires of Lord Ramiel, the first generation Vampires that were converted by Lord Ramiel himself!"

"They are the pure blood! The true lords of this world, and you\'ve just waged war with them by attacking their Lineage. I\'m but a measly Fifth Generation Lord. You should be a Fourth Generation, if I\'m not wrong. If the difference between Fourth and Fifth is such that you can kill two of us, just imagine the difference between Second and Fourth."

"Since the Progenitors disappeared, the Blood Council Vampires have been the strongest. You have no idea who you\'ve just bought yourself in conflict with.\'

"You\'re right. I have no idea, but I don\'t want to have an idea either. I don\'t care about the Blood Council. I don\'t care about the Vampires. It\'s not my fight. After you die, my revenge will be complete. Misella\'s soul could finally rest in peace."

"Misella...? That name..."

"Oh? You remember? That\'s good. Remember that name even as your soul rots in hell. That name is what destroyed this small Empire you had created. If only you had said something that day, this day wouldn\'t have come."

"Now, let me feast!"

Atlas\' teeth stabbed the necks of Severis\' neck.

****

"I must stop Atlas! Misella isn\'t here! Only the Vampire Lords must know where she is! They can\'t be killed before we get an answer!"

In another part of the Kingdom, Lancaster was running at his top speed to stop Atlas.
