The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 187 187: Other Way



"Not only you, but I also have a way to stop Vor. It\'s not a problem at all. Unfortunately, you won\'t be here to see me achieve it all!"

Ramiun had barely finished his sentence before he attacked Elisi. His men also attacked her warriors, overwhelming them by their large numbers.

As Ramiun\'s hand was about to touch Elisi, her figure disappeared. Like a ghost, she appeared behind Ramiun. However, as if expecting this, Ramiun jumped up, avoiding her attack, which was about to land on him.

Ramiun landed in the distance, slightly amazed that Elisi was still as fast. In fact, she seemed even faster than she was when he last met her.

"What happened? Why aren\'t you attacking me anymore?" Elisi smirked, seeing the surprise on Ramiun\'s face.

In another part, the battle between the Generals of both sides had gotten more intense, in which Elisi\'s side was having a slightly harder time.

"This is my last warning to you!" Elisi declared. "Tell me what you are after here. We can still work together. You tell me just what exactly it is that you want from this place, and I\'ll not only let you live, but I\'ll also partner up with you!"

"Is that so?" Ramiun inquired. "The offer isn\'t half bad, but I don\'t think I would share what I\'m after. Only I can have that, and only I will. So you\'ll have to get out of my way."

Ramiun attacked again as he rejected any possible negotiations.

There was only silence inside the carriage. No one was speaking. It had been that way for seemingly hours since none of them appeared to have any topic. In the long journey, everyone had run out of all the topics.

If there was one person who was breaking the silence, it was Luna, but even she couldn\'t keep up with it since Atlas didn\'t remember anything she talked about. Her memories were related to Castiel, and he was different. Not only did he not have Castiel\'s memories, but he also couldn\'t take a random guess.

Most of Luna\'s questions were answered by him in a single statement. "I don\'t remember."

"Grrr~"

After a long time, the silence was broken again, but this time because Luna\'s stomach was growling.

"Are you hungry?" Atlas asked.

Luna nodded. "I haven\'t eaten anything since I left home."

"Do you eat the same thing as humans?" Atlas inquired. Since Luna wasn\'t from earth, she didn\'t know what she actually ate or if they even had anything available.

"She can eat the same thing as humans," Lilith answered instead. "That\'s what she ate when she was here last time."

"We can stop at the next city, and you all can eat something." Atlas agreed. They had already run out of things to eat on the journey, and he didn\'t want to go looking for something to eat in the forests as that could waste a lot of their time.

It was decided that they were going to stop in the next city and get something to eat there. It also wasted less of their time.

Atlas opened the door and told the carriage driver to stop in the next city near a restaurant. It was also time to show the carriage driver to rest since he had been up for a long time.

The carriage driver acknowledged. "We aren\'t far from the next city. I can already see it. I\'ll stop as soon as we get to a restaurant or a hotel."

Atlas closed the door and conveyed the message. "We should be there soon. Just a little more."

"That reminds me. You said you didn\'t eat anything since you left your home? How long was the journey from your world to ours?" he asked, really curious about it. "Also, how did you even travel from one world to another? Did you use a Portal? Also, can you use the same portal to go back if you wanted?"

"So many questions," Luna smiled. "And all the same that you asked me last time as well. I\'ll answer once again though."

"Regarding your first question... It took me two days to get from my world to here, and no, it wasn\'t a portal. It was something else. I don\'t know how to describe it in a way that you can understand. But we do have something that can help us travel from one world to another. And yeah, we can use the same to go back as well."

" If that\'s the case, can\'t we attack the Empire instead?" Atlas asked, mainly targeting the question to Lilith. "I mean, wouldn\'t it be better to take the fight to them instead of letting them bring a fight to you?"

"Last time, you said that the people from the Solace Empire took our world hostage and used that to convince the resistance to give v up. Couldn\'t you have done the same? I think Castiel would\'ve been strong enough to fight back. If he and the other Progenitors had taken the same route to their world and taken them hostage, wouldn\'t that be better?\'

Through his question, he placed forth the question that was in his mind. Did they miss an opportunity in the past?

"You could\'ve answered them in the language they understood," he further stated. "Since they loved to take worlds hostage, it certainly would\'ve pushed them back if their own world was a hostage. You would\'ve had a much better advantage in negotiations."

"You think we didn\'t think about that?" Lilith let out a defeated sigh. "The thing can only take one person back with it. There isn\'t enough space inside it. And before you ask why we didn\'t send Castiel, only then, we couldn\'t. The thing that Luna used to come here can only be used by her."

"In other words, only people from her species can use those times, so we couldn\'t have used that. We tried to find a way to overcome this problem, but it\'s just impossible. So we couldn\'t take their world hostage. And even if we could get there, I doubt it would be that easy to take them hostage.

"So it was a futile effort. We were backed off in a corner. The battlefield was our home, and we couldn\'t change the battlefield, no matter how much we wanted. That was what gave those people such a big advantage."

"Can we still not use it?" Atlas asked Luna, wondering if the same problem still existed.

Luna nodded her head. "You can\'t take the path I took. It won\'t work. But there is one way..."
