The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 71 71: Brace For...



In another place, a young lady was still lying unconscious near the bodies of hundreds of Vampires.

She had just started regaining her consciousness, only to realize that her hands were free now.

"Hmm?" She opened her eyes, observing the surroundings, only to be stunned at the number of bodies in her surroundings.

Most of these bodies belonged to the Vampires. What stunned her even more was the fact that even Carlisle was dead! There was only one person she could think of who might have done this. It was the person who was fighting Carlisle, but she still couldn't understand. How was he so strong? Just how was he so powerful to defeat Carlisle?

She also noticed the body of the old lady who had captured her. The woman was also dead.

"It's like a massacre took place here. A single person did all this?" Even though she was watching everything with her own eyes, she still found it hard to believe.

She stood up and checked her neck. She let out a sigh of relief as she realized that her pendant was still there. She hadn't lost it.

She hastily ran and found a safe place before creating a communication formation.

She contacted her grandma and told her everything about how she was fooled by Atlas, how she was caught by the old Witch, and how she woke up to find that everyone here was already dead.

"All the Vampires are dead?" Her Grandma asked, just to be sure.

"It seems to be that way. Grandma, what should I do? Should I go to the castle and search for the Book of Lilith? I'm not sure if Atlas is going to be there or not."

"You said that person wanted to get the body of his sister? He might have lied about that too."

"Could he have arrived here for the book as well?" Lia asked.

"I don't think that would be the case. If he is truly as strong as you described, then I don't think he would've come there to steal the Book of Lilith. He certainly needed something from the Castle, but I'm sure it wasn't the book. Do one thing! Stay right where you are."

"Wait for a few hours. After he gets what he wants from the castle, he will leave. Then it would be safe for you. It's not safe at the moment. Moreover, since all the Vampires there are dead, I'll come there with the entire clan to help you look for the book. Just don't do anything stupid, alright?"

Lia took the instructions of her grandma seriously and promised her that she wasn't going to do anything stupid. She was going to wait for her.

Since all the Vampires here were killed, the Witches in Lia's clan didn't need to worry about losing too many people. The threat was almost gone. Moreover, they were sure that by the time they got here, Atlas would've gone. The city was going to be as safe for them as it could be. With more people, they could detect the book faster and get out safely.

****

The book that Lia was after, was lying right beside Yovana. So far, no one knew her real identity. All everyone knew was that she knew many things that normal people shouldn't have.

Atlas promised her that he was going to help her, and Yovana grew pleased.

She had heard many stories about Progenitor Castiel, who wasn't like any other Progenitor. He was said to be someone who never broke his promise and didn't step back even in the face of death once he decided something. With his promise, Yovana was sure that Atlan was going to be free.

She was still under the misconception that Castiel stood before her, not realizing that it was Atlas.

"See? That was simple, wasn't it? For Lord Castiel, freeing Lord Atlan would be child's play, especially since you have a friend with the Royal Bloodline. Since you've agreed to help me, let me help you as well."

Yovana got off the throne, holding onto the little bunny. She kept the talisman in her pocket. "I must remind you though; things might not be too pleasing. So you should be prepared. There are some really messed up things that Carlisle did. Just a disclaimer, I had no hand in anything he did."

"The only reason he treated me so well was because I lied to him that I was a human envoy sent by the Blood Council. That idiot fell for it right away. So yeah, I didn't have a hand in what he did. I didn't interfere in his matters, and he didn't interfere in mine. Now that we're done with the disclaimer, I invite you in."

"Come and move this throne back. You'll see the secret entrance to a place that shouldn't exist."

Atlas was finally invited in. Even the ward couldn't stop him now. He walked straight to the throne and pushed it back.

To push the throne, he needed to apply quite a lot of strength. It would've been impossible for even an ordinary Vampire to push the throne back.

As soon as Atlas pushed the throne back, a small entrance was revealed under the throne. There were stairs that were leading down.

Atlas glanced back at Lilith. He didn't have a good feeling about this. From what Yovana said, he was going to find Misella underground, but the way Yovana talked about bracing himself, he didn't know if he was prepared for it or not.

Lancaster placed his hand on the young Vampire's shoulder. He didn't say a single word.

Lilith also stepped closer to the throne. Even she didn't know what to say. She was really hoping that at least the body was going to be intact. She didn't want to see Atlas more broken than he already was.

Atlas braced himself. With his fist clenched, he took his first step on the stairs as he went down.

Lancaster went behind him. He had never seen Misella before, but even he was worried about what he was going to see. He had lived most of his life as a human, after all.

Yovana reached out her hand to take the book, but Lilith took it. "I think it belongs to me."

Yovana didn't stop her and simply smiled. "I was picking it up to give it to you. I don't need it anymore. I've already memorized everything that's written in it, after all. I must say, your insight into spells was really strong, Lady Lilith."

Lilith rolled her eyes. She didn't react and just went down, disappearing into the darkness. Yovana was the last to go inside.
