Chapter 319 Red Pills
Chapter 319 Red Pills
"T-This... What are these pills going to do?" Bryce asks, collecting the jar with shaky hands and swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Derek, the vampire legend, who happens to be one of the strongest vampires that ever lived, doesn't say anything for a moment. He repositions himself on his throne, putting one leg on the armrest in another posture.
"I'll give you the details on that when everyone is finally gone. Answer one more question for me. Is it really true that Jake married his sister, Misty?" Derek asks with an expressionless face.
Hearing Derek's question, Bryce swallows once more. The Derek in front of him is not the same as the Derek he once knew. The version of Derek in front of him is that of an evil warlord, having killed about two vampires during this meeting.
"Yes, lord. I have no reason to lie. Odolff attended his marriage ceremony. In fact, according to what our spies on earth told us, Misty is currently pregnant. Not only Misty, Jill herself is also pregnant," Bryce reports with a straight face.
For some reason, Derek clenches his hands on the armrest of the throne, causing some cracking sounds to emit from the throne chair. If the throne chair were made from inferior material, it would have crumbled under his grip.
"If he's really the protoss... Then what did he do to the ability crystal of the demon king I gave him?" Derek asks, making Bryce look at him in a jerk.
"He gave his human wife because he was unable to absorb ability crystals. However, rumors are spreading that he could use the abilities of his wife, such as Jill's gravitational force and Misty's healing ability," Bryce answers.
Hearing Bryce's words, Derek's eyes widen in shock, and his body radiates with killing intent.
"That said... He's really the protoss and not my son. But still, my blood runs in him," Derek mutters with a small sadistic smile.
"My lord, I have one question to ask you. Please, do you care to answer?" Bryce suddenly requests.
"Of course, you've been a loyal pawn to me, answering one question won't hurt me or stain my feet," Derek replies with a sheepish grin.
"My lord, everyone saw it that day; you got captured by the vampire blood god. According to experts, your soul was destroyed, thus making you go into eternal slumber after the blood god unleashed his strongest attack on you," Bryce explains.
Hearing Bryce's words, Derek lets out a sigh and looks at the ceiling as if reminiscing something.
"Actually, it was the opposite. I was about to kill that fucker that day with my strongest attack as I noticed that he was about to use a strange trick. However, I considered the safety of the other vampires living in the settlement. I wouldn't want to wipe out millions of my own race because of a god that I want to kill so bad."
"A god that doesn't care about his people, only his celestial powers and personal interest. My attack would have swallowed everything in its path, killing millions of people. That's why I couldn't stop that trick from touching me," Derek explains to Bryce.
"However," Derek continues. "I was woken recently by the same idiot who sealed me, only for him to make a pact with him. A pact that I should kill the protoss to be free from the pact and to be able to fulfill my one wish, which is to eliminate all dhampirs. However, the idiot didn't give in to details. It's only now that I learned that my son is the reincarnation of the protoss. Bryce, this world isn't fair..." Derek mutters, looking at the ceiling again, several emotions playing on his face.
"T-That means... Killing your own son. That god is cruel. He's obviously scared of the protoss!" Bryce acknowledges with a bright expression. But his face suddenly turns dark.
"My lord, are you going to do that?" Bryce asks.
"I really want to take out the dhampirs so bad...." Derek turns his neck and replies, his eyes flashing red.
________________________________
Bryce leaves the hidden base where Derek is currently in hiding. Right now, he is in a hidden environment, far away in the depths of the red planet's unexplored region where dangerous beasts rule the land.
Standing beside him is Zero, dressed as an assassin as usual, his and Bryce's eyes fixed on about seven hundred vampires standing in front of them. Some are regular vampires, some noble, and some are even at the lord evolution stage.
However, they all have one thing in common; they are all chained around their hands and legs. Just from a glance, one could tell that they are prisoners.
Bryce strides toward them a little bit, stopping about a meter away.
"I guess you all know the reason why you are here today. You all only have one purpose; which is to redeem yourself in the vampire society and be free once again despite the atrocities you all committed. I, Bryce Sanguine, the patriarch of the Sanguine family, genuinely assure you that your wishes can come to last. However, it doesn't come at a free cost."
"As you all know, I can't just free you all, as it's not only against the law, and I don't have the power to do so. However, I want to overthrow the current king, and I need your help in doing so," Bryce finally declares.
The prisoners start chatting and murmuring among themselves, looking pretty confused.
"How are we supposed to do that? It's like a suicide mission with all the strong guards and soldiers protecting the city. Let's not even talk about the legendary knight, Alphonso," one of the prisoners yells, showcasing his frustration.
Hearing the prisoners' words, Bryce flashes a smile.
"If I didn't have a plan, I wouldn't be here asking for your help in the first place," Bryce says with a smile and then signals to Zero.
In a flash, Zero waves his hands, and then, several jars containing blood-red pills appear on the ground.
