Chapter 621 - I Found You
Chapter 621 I Found You
The True Ancestor of vampires loathed the Church of Light.
The kingdom she founded in the main plane earlier almost destroyed Fareins. The whole world teemed with vampires back then.
Human beings prostrated themselves before the vampires, worshiping them as masters and overlords.
Some human beings tried to resist them, and there were Heroes who almost made it to her throne.
However… Even though the Heroes had great natural advantages against vampires, they were too few in number.
There were only one or two Heroes in one generation.
At that time, the vampires could overshadow the sky if they all turned into bats. It was true that the Heroes could easily kill any vampire, but the problem was that there were too many vampires and it was easy for them to transform more. The Heroes couldn’t annihilate them at all.
Just like that, twenty years after the kingdom of vampires was founded, and when Fareins was on the brink of destruction, the missionaries of a small church from the edge of the world suddenly came to Fareins, which was only one third its original size.
Those Priests who were familiar with light spells were natural enemies to the vampires who used dark magic.
One cast of Sunlight could wipe out countless low-level vampires.
Just like that, many human beings began to worship the Church of Light. The small church quickly expanded, and a dreadful class even emerged from it.
even
The Saint Samurai.
Those monsters who could charge on horses, cast spells on foot, and even fly when wearing heavy armor could crush ten thousand vampires leading only a hundred Battle Priests.
Eventually, the Saint Samurai, leading a great number of believers of light, marched to her royal palace.
Hundreds of years had passed, but she still remembered how the leading Saint Samurai looked at her in disdain and said, “I thought that the True Ancestor of vampires was a magnificent man, but you’ve turned out to be just a spoiled child who abuses your ability!”
The Saint Samurai who said that was tall, sexy and beautiful.
The wings of light that unfolded behind her made her look even more holy and sacred.
The True Ancestor was easily eclipsed and enraged.
After the fall of her kingdom, she was chased by several Saint Samurai all over the world. Having no other choice, she had to break into the Spatial Magic Tower, steal some books, and learn Long Distance Teleportation. She intended to teleport to another country, but due to the error in coordinates, she ended up in the Netherworld.
But that wasn’t too bad. Although this place was quite desolate, it still had plenty of lives.
Then, she reestablished her kingdom in this place.
Although it was nothing more than a city-state, she had a safe place to live and didn’t have to spend every day in fear any longer.
Having learned a lesson in the main plane, she didn’t unlimitedly expand the population of vampires, and she made humane laws to protect the basic rights of their slaves.
She also made acquaintance with the Nether God, who became a friend that she could talk to.
Occasionally, she would travel in the main plane and sunbathe there.
Unlike other vampires, it was fine for her to do some sunbathing even though she was vulnerable to light magic too.
She found her life comfortable and enjoyable.
The environment of the Netherworld was horrible, but it was not a big deal for a person in power like herself.
When there were no lawns, she could set up one in her home; when there was no delicious food, she could fetch it from the main plane. She knew Long-Distance Teleportation anyway.
Having lived in peace for three hundred years, she thought that she had forgotten her hatred for the Saint Samurai.
But when she heard that a Saint Samurai had come to her territory, fury got the better of her again. “Bloody Saint Samurai, you’re not letting go of me when I’ve already fled so far?” Her dark golden eyes brightened until they seemed to be glowing. “It’s been three hundred years, and you’re still not letting go? Then let’s see which of us is stronger!”
Invisible mental power spread out from the True Ancestor of vampires and soon enshrouded the whole city.
Ordinary people had no sense of the mental pressure, only noticing that the air seemed to be getting dull, but all the vampires could sense it.
The girl’s intimidating voice echoed in all the vampires’ heads. “Everybody, listen to my order. Find the Saint Samurai that has snuck into our city and drain him without leaving a drop of blood. Whoever brings his head to me will be rewarded with one drop of my blood.”
Several seconds later, countless bats flew out of the windows on the stone pillars.
They rose to the sky in a dense cloud and covered the whole city.
Then, more of them landed, turning into human beings with pale skin. When the ordinary people saw the vampires, they quickly lowered their heads and nervously ran home before they closed the door.
Those were all vampires.
They wandered on the street and coldly examined everybody who passed by.
They even stopped some of the passersby and asked them if they had seen the Saint Samurai.
Roland’s team, on the other hand, had dispersed to different parts of the city.
Under normal circumstances, it wasn’t a good thing for a team to split up.
But the case was different for Roland’s team. With the guild channel, they could communicate and exchange intelligence anytime.
Roland was hiding in an inn when some vampires approached him.
The owner of the inn opened Roland’s room with two male vampires at his side.
They eyed Roland as if he were food. Then, they shook their heads and left.
All living creatures were usually sensitive about their natural enemies.
In the case of vampires, they were quite sensitive to light.
So, all they needed to do was stand close to someone in order to find out if he was a Light Priest or a Saint Samurai.
Watching the two vampires go without hesitation, Roland was deep in thought. He asked the owner of the inn, “Who are those two?”
“Vampires!” The innkeeper shrugged. “I’m told they’re looking for a Saint Samurai. How can there be a Saint Samurai in the Netherworld?”
“Exactly, how can there be?” Roland shrugged exactly like the innkeeper did. “It’s said that the Goddess of Light cherishes her Saint Samurai. If a Saint Samurai really wound up here, the Goddess of Light must be on her way.”
The innkeeper subconsciously swallowed. “I don’t think it’s possible! A goddess can’t possibly care about the life and death of a human being!”
“It’s hard to say.” Roland yawned, pretending that he was sleepy. “I need to take a break. See you, boss.”
Hearing that the guest wanted a rest, the innkeeper immediately left.
Roland closed the door and pinged Schuck in the guild channel.
Roland: “The vampires are looking for you. The situation has changed.”
Schuck: “I’ve realized it too. I just burned up two vampires. I remember that a book in the Grand Library of Light states that the Church of Light and the vampires had a conflict three hundred years ago. We won and the queen of vampires has been gone ever since.”
Roland: “It seems that you’ve been exposed.” Schuck: “I guess I’m a burden now. I’ll make a scene in the city later to distract them for you. You’ll have to take it from there.”
Roland: “You’re going to lure the monsters and kill yourself? Is there no other way?”
Schuck: “I am going to lure the monsters, but not kill myself. As a Master Saint Samurai, I have a special skill named Light Resurrection. After I die, the holy light will project my soul back to the Holy Realm where I will be reborn, and it won’t count as a death.”
Roland: “It’s a desirable skill even for the players. For the regular NPCs, it must be what they all dream of.”
Schuck: “It’s indeed a desirable skill, but you can’t learn it without the Goddess of Light’s favor. Also, it takes three months for the skill to cool down.”
Roland: “The Goddess of Light’s favor? You might as well say that you’re the only one who can use this skill!”
Schuck: “That seems to be true!”
Tsk.
Roland smacked his lips, feeling rather bummed.
He also had some goddess’ favor, yet it merely added some stats for him, like HP and mana capacity.
Schuck, in comparison, received a lifesaving skill.
His ability couldn’t compare to Schuck’s even though he had the favor of two goddesses.
Wait… The favor of two goddesses?
For some reason, Roland felt more comfortable than before.
Ten minutes later, Roland suddenly saw that Schuck left a message in the guild system.
Schuck: “I’m going to cause trouble. You do whatever suits you.”
Roland rose from the bed and asked the innkeeper the way. The innkeeper warmly answered his questions, but before he finished, the street was already in a riot with people shouting and exclaiming.
Schuck must’ve already taken action.
Roland left the inn and saw that the street was ablaze with golden light.
He walked out and saw that a golden ball of light was emitting brilliance in the high altitudes of the sky.
It was Sunlight, one of the most common skills of the Church of Light.
The skill had a great effective range and could destroy darkness and fog. It could also slowly heal neutral and friend units.
It was a skill that could be used in almost every situation.
For ordinary people, it was just a dazzling skill of the light class.
But for the vampires, it was a fatal nuclear explosive.
The bats that were flying and almost covered the sky all screamed in fear and tried to flee from the light.
But the light was too fast.
Many little bats fell from the sky trailing black smoke.
They sizzled when they crashed, and then they were all set on fire.
Underneath the sphere of light was a man who was emanating golden light with a pair of shiny wings on his back.
“In the name of the Goddess of Light, all evils shall be exterminated.” Holding the giant sword, Schuck pointed at where there were most bats. “Sun Collapse.”
The golden ball of light fell from the sky and hit the swarm of bats. Then it exploded into dazzling rays.
Countless bats turned into ashes in the light and slowly dispersed, covering the city in a gray snow.
Many bats were trying to flee as far away from the golden man as possible.
Exactly at this moment, a black-haired girl was standing on top of the queen’s tower.
She gazed at the floating golden man coldly, hatred flashing in her eyes.
Triggered by her thoughts, a lot of dark magic power left her body and formed enormous cubes of fog before her.
Then, the fog cubes expanded and consumed everything nearby. Very soon, they had approached the edge of Sunlight.
While the humans and vampires held their breath waiting to find out who had more power, the True Ancestor of vampires suddenly turned around and looked at Roland.
Then, she put on a gloating smile and leaped from an altitude of three hundred meters.
In midair, she grew out a pair of black bat wings. She then flapped her wings and glided toward the street where Roland was on.
