The Accidental Vampire

Unlike with a Progenitor, Razil didn't feel the need to go intercept a Blood Council Member personally since his men were more than enough as long as it was just one Blood Council Member, which he was told.

Still, just to be sure, he asked once again. "Are you really sure it's just one person?"

"Based on the information, it's just one person."

"Then do as I said. Even though you shouldn't need any help, if you do need any, I'll be there."

"Yes, my liege."

The Werewolves had received the permission from the King. That was all they needed. He retreated, leaving the King behind.

The King walked back into his room, not caring even a little for a single Blood Council member. He was so unphased that he didn't even find it a threat. He went inside his room, entering a shower.

Back at the entrance of the Castle, Lancaster stood in worry. He was too late. The Werewolves knew about Atlas. He wondered if there was even anything he could do now. There were only two options he could see. One of them was to go help Atlas, which he believed he didn't have the ability to since he was slightly weak.

The other option he could see was to sneak inside the castle and get Lilith back so she couldn't be used against Atlas now that he was here.

He continued circling the castle, trying not to attract too much attention, waiting for the guards to be distracted or leave their posts.

Just as he expected, there was finally an opportunity after a long time. More than half the Guards left to intercept Atlas, leaving only the other half behind.

Still, even though half the guards left, that still left many guards to deal with. There were still over twenty werewolves guarding the palace, and that in itself was a problem.

Atlas finally came into the view of the werewolves that were standing at the entrance of the castle.

Even Atlas was more clearly able to see the small army, which consisted of over twenty wolves. More than half of them were already in their Wolf form, waiting to pounce on him at a moment's notice.

With each passing second, the small army only kept increasing as more and more werewolves joined.

"He doesn't have red eyes." One of the Werewolves pointed out with a grim expression on his face.

"Yeah. Aren't Blood Council Members supposed to have red eyes?"

"So he's not from the Blood Council?"

"What does it matter? There are more lineages. If I'm not wrong, those eyes are from the lineage of Castiel. He must be a Vampire at the same level as the Blood Council but from another lineage. Our orders stay the same. Ask him for his purpose, and if we don't get a satisfying answer, kill him."

"Exactly. But still, I think we should inform his majesty about this."

"Ah, do we really need to disturb him over such a small difference?"

"It's something he should know."

"Fine. You go and inform him. We'll handle things here, following old commands. If you're back my new commands before we kill him, we'll stop. But if not, we'll deal with him using old instructions."

After a short surprise over the eyes of Atlas, the group decided to inform the King once again, sending one of them back. Everyone else stayed.

Atlas stopped barely fifteen meters away from the army of Wolves, gazing at every single one of them. Finding four Werewolves in itself was hard, and there were over fifty here now, each being trained professionally, unlike the ones he had faced before.

****

Even though there were around twenty guards near the castle, because of the dilution in numbers, there were some weak spots in the security that Lancaster needed.

Finally, he made a move, approaching the castle at his peak speed through the blind spot.

Before any guard could even notice him, Lancaster jumped the wall, landing inside the premise of the castle, carefully hiding behind a tree to observe the surroundings.

Even though he had crossed the outside boundary, he was still too far from the castle entrance and needed to know what the security situation was in this place.

Lilith slowly started walking up from her slumber as her head thumped.

She slowly opened her eyes, finding herself on a soft bed in a room he never saw before.

"Huh?!" She swiftly sat up.

"Oh, you're up. Good morning, Lilith."

"You!" Lilith frowned. "So the Franc clan didn't leave that habit of attacking from behind."

"Hahaha, whatever gets the job done." Zhang let out a hearty laugh. "I apologize if I wasn't fair enough when fighting you, but then again, it also wasn't fair enough when you brought a Progenitor in the battle of Witches last time, destroying most of my clan, was it?"

"I'm not stupid enough to make the same mistake, Lady Lilith," he further added. "By the way, I know you're trying to cast a spell. Don't even try; it won't work. I've cast a spell of my own to make sure you can't."

Lilith noticed the strange characters on her entire body, grimacing. The characters seemed to be blocking her spiritual power.

"Nice spell, isn't it? I made it myself. Apparently, you're not the only one who can make new spells. I'm fairly talented myself."

"Ever since I heard stories about how you insulted, ruined, and almost destroyed my clan in the past, I've been training to make sure something like this never happens again. I kept working toward the goal, trying to become stronger and make spells that could counter someone like you."

"Even though everyone said you were dead, I didn't stop my training since I didn't want the past to repeat itself. And the spell you see now is one of those spells." Zhang smiled. "The sleeping spell that didn't alert you... That's also one of those spells. Good, aren't they?"

"What do you want from me?" Lilith frowned. "If it's about your clan, they attacked me first. I never attacked them first. And even after your clan was at its weakest, I didn't wipe them from the face of this earth even though I could."

"Of course, you wouldn't. You were the goddess of this world... The supposedly strongest spellcaster. You probably thought my clan wasn't even worthy of your time. So it's not surprising you let us live, but that doesn't change the fact that you took so many things from us."

"So I was supposed to let your clan kill me for no reason?" Lilith scoffed.
