The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 147 147: You Should Forget



The Driver had no option but to listen to Lancaster, even if it placed his job on the line. It was better than putting his life on the line.

The carriage departed, carrying Lancaster and Lilith, leaving the warzone. As Lancaster left, he finally saw why there were no guards on the way to stop them even after they passed the red line. Near the exit of the Franc Clan premises, there were many dead bodies.

Even the Carriage Driver was horrified after seeing so many dead bodies on the way. In his fear, he only increased the speed, trying to get as far away from this place as possible.

At the same time, he also had a feeling that the Duke wasn\'t going to be coming out of this place alive. It was better for him to leave.

Back in the blinding mist, Zhang was getting frustrated. It was his first time fighting a Progenitor properly, and it was proving to be much harder than he could\'ve expected, especially because of the mist that blinded his vision.

If that mist wasn\'t there, he was sure he would\'ve had a much better time. What was worse was that Lucius had fought thoughts of battles in his life, mainly with Werewolves and Witches. He had an idea on how to stay safe. It was as if he had honed his skills to perfection.

On the other hand, Zhang hadn\'t fought a Progenitor before. He had only heard and read how the Progenitors fought, which often left out a lot of details. He had prepared for the battle with all the details he had managed to gather, gaining the confidence that he could take them out.

Unfortunately, even he hadn\'t known about the Sword of Lucius that could absorb the spells. Not only did the sword absorb the attacks, but it also became stronger because of that. The flames that were burning on the sword only kept intensifying the more attacks it absorbed.

"Enough!" Zhang couldn\'t take it anymore. He couldn\'t fight without seeing.

He cast a flight spell on his body and flew up. The first thing he needed to do was to get out of the mist. Everything else could come later!

Zhang kept flying high up, finally getting out of the range of the mist and landing on top of his castle.

He looked down at the massive cloud of smoke on the ground, which made it impossible for things to be seen.

"That Sword... I need to do something about it! Also, why isn\'t the backup here yet? I sent them to activate the Portal a long time ago. The Wolves should\'ve been here by now!"

He couldn\'t understand what was taking so long. He couldn\'t shake the feeling that something had gone wrong.

He didn\'t just have Lucius to worry about. There were even more problems that he needed to face, including the presence of Atlan inside.

He decided to check the castle himself. If his men had failed to activate the Portal, that meant someone was already inside, creating trouble for them. And if someone was inside, then that person could only be Lilith! Moreover, Atlas had also not joined the battle in a long time. Zhang didn\'t even know if Atlas was still outside or if he was also inside.

At any cost, he needed to keep Atlan secure first! There were so many problems that Zhang felt as if his head was about to explode. He alone couldn\'t face two Progenitors and Lilith, and he had no one to help him.

He flew to the window of the castle, intending to enter the place, but before he could, he saw a figure coming in his direction.

While he was thinking, Lucius was also out of the mist, getting a clear view of Zhang, who was planning to enter the castle. Lucius jumped, making it appear as if he was flying.

Watching Lucius fly in his direction, Zhang dropped his plan of entering the castle. Instead, he flew even higher to avoid Lucius.

At the same time, he bit his thumb, letting out a trail of Blood.

"Blood Rain!" he roared as his blood droplets flew high in the sky, disappearing amidst the clouds.

Since he could clearly see Lucius now, he could be more precise. With a clear view, he was sure he could finally take Lucius out! He just needed to capture Lucius, and the only way to do it was if he made that Sword useless.

Since the blood droplets could be so small, he was sure that Lucius couldn\'t use the sword to block them all. There was just no way!

The clouds in the sky started turning blood red as if they were corrupted by the blood of Zhang.

Lucius landed on top of the Castle where Zhang was standing previously, gazing up at Zhang, who was high in the sky, right beside the clouds.

If there was one thing that Lucius couldn\'t do, it was flying. However, even he knew that Zhang couldn\'t stay in the air for an eternity.

Not only did the clouds turn blood red, making the entry sky appear red, but it also started raining blood from the sky!

Thousands of blood droplets started falling down. The first droplet of rain fell on the face of Lucius, who didn\'t move from his place.

"Acid blood?" he muttered briefly, gazing at the droplets of blood, ignoring the pain he felt.

The blood was like acid, which kept burning the skin of Lucius.

Even the roof of the castle started decaying under the rain, let alone everything else. The Blood rain didn\'t appear like it was going to stop anytime soon, but at the same time, Lucius didn\'t seem as if he was going to back off. If he wanted, he could\'ve taken shelter, but he didn\'t show his weakness to the man.

Moreover, whatever bit of skin that was burnt due to the Acid rain healed as fast as it was burned.

The blood rain wasn\'t having the effect that Zhang had expected. Other than giving some pain to the man.

Strangely enough, strange winds started surrounding Lucius, changing the direction of the blood rain. It was as if someone was making sure that the blood didn\'t fall on Lucius.

A figure appeared behind Lucius, under the same protection of the wind, without making a single noise.

"You know I didn\'t need your help," Lucius stated without even glancing back. It was as if he already knew who was doing it.

Atlas stepped closer, standing right beside Lucius. "You know he can stay there for hours. The way you\'re doing things, it\'s too slow."

"Don\'t worry. He won\'t live for an hour," Lucius shook his head.

"And how can you be so sure?" Atlas asked.

Lucius looked to Atlas as his hair waved with the intense wind that was surrounding them.

"Because I am here to kill him. One hour is too much for him," he responded. "That aside, what are you doing here, trying to help me? You never helped us before."

"Because I didn\'t agree with your actions before," Atlas answered, pretending to be aloof.

"And now you do?"

Atlas nodded. "Because he deserves to die."

Lucius scoffed. "So when it\'s someone you want to kill, it is all good. But when it\'s someone we want to kill, it becomes wrong. Castiel, you\'re the biggest hypocrite I\'ve seen in my life."

Atlas didn\'t answer. "If you\'re comparing killing this man who hurt us with the desire to kill a little girl who had no hand in hurting our people, then I don\'t think I need to justify my actions."

He didn\'t know all the decisions on which Castiel opposed Lucius, but he did know one. It was when they wanted to kill Lilith, and Castiel stood in their path. He used that instance to place his point of view before them

"Don\'t you have anything better to do other than troubling me here?" Lucius rolled his eyes. "I thought you were here to save Atlan. Save him and leave."

"I can\'t save him."

"And why is that?"

"Because his daughter betrayed us, stabbed Lilith in the back, and left with Atlan."

Lucius couldn\'t help but smile in response. "So that Witch is finally dead? About time. Still, weren\'t you and Atlan\'s so-called daughter on the same side?"

"I never said Lilith was dead," Atlas answered, surprised that Lucius was so happy at the thought of Lilith dying; it appeared as if he still hadn\'t forgotten what happened in the past.

"As for how his daughter did that, I\'m sure I\'ll get that answer soon."

"I doubt you will." Lucius smiled. "If that girl is really Atlan\'s daughter, Atlas would already know that you\'ll try to find her. You know what kind of person he is. If he wants to protect someone, even you won\'t be able to find him."

"I\'d suggest you also drop the thought of finding that girl for revenge, just like we dropped the thought of hurting Lilith because of you."
