Chapter 360: The Dark Chronicles (Part 8)

"Six times, this is the number of times I have been sealed by the Belmont and Fernando families, I didn't expect that the time outside would also pass for a century."

As Dracula spoke, the shrine maiden struggled desperately, but she soon discovered that no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free from the rope that was tied to her.

"Thankfully, thanks to your arrival, I don't have to wait another hundred years...... Why are you looking at me like that? With your small body, you should be glad to be a part of the eternal world. ”

"Eternity? You're nothing more than a defeated demon hunter! ”

The shrine maiden glared angrily.

"Belmondo and Fernando?"

Dracula seemed to have heard something funny, "You don't really think that with your small mortal power, you can really shake my existence, do you?" Even the sigils they created were mere gifts from me, and I took great pains to make their victory seem plausible. ”

Dracula's mood is still not as happy as it is today for a long time, because at this moment, it is not the Fernando family who is about to get rid of reincarnation, but himself.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, what really scares me is the creatures at the top."

Creatures from above?

When she heard this, the shrine maiden was speechless for a while.

In her mind, Count Dracula is already the most powerful creature, is there really a creature in this world that is even more terrifying than Count Dracula, so that he has to hide it through "fake death"?

"Before I met the human named Mafal Belmont, I was approached by an organization that called itself a 'Scourge'."

No longer limited to races, their existence means disaster itself.

"Scourge" only gave him two options.

Hand over the fragments and submit to their command, or be wiped out entirely.

It was never the witchers, the signegs, or the traitors of a few witches who could really threaten him, and the more knowledge he gained from the fragments, the more he understood the horrors of the Scourge - they were monsters born at the same time as this book, and their history may be older than the history of mankind.

Vampires are in the eyes of a scourge what humans are to vampires, but they are a small race that can be destroyed at any time.

"I used Mafal-Belmont to hide from them, and for hundreds of years I was looking for a way to compete with them, and the way I found was hidden in this mask...... However, this mask alone is not enough, its existence is obviously flawed. ”

So for the rest of his "sealed" years, Dracula spent the years researching ways to eliminate the mask's flaws, and he eventually got the answer from Klopella.

"The crystal you brought was originally a token of Clopella, and after the collapse of her dynasty, some history changed with it, and it was not only the handwriting that was unearthed at that time, but the expedition team also found this token in her tomb that symbolizes the identity of the pharaohs."

"Andella, you deceived everyone from the beginning!"

The shrine maiden glared at Andyra in disbelief, as a "close friend", she knew that Andira had started researching stone ghost masks and crystals ten years ago, and if these were from Dracula's will, then it meant that the other party had actually reached some kind of agreement with Dracula a long time ago.

"I guess it started with discovering the secret of the engraving itself."

"The engraving was not a means of confronting the master from the beginning, but a medium of communication, and it is a pity that the people before me did not know the true secret of the engraving, otherwise the sad fate of the Fernando family would have ended long ago. ”

"Can't blame them entirely, Andella."

Dracula even explained to the witch family who had sealed themselves several times, "Not everyone has a talent like you, and it is a little difficult for them to carry my power in an ordinary person's body." ”

“…… The accident that caused the engraving backlash was also faked? ”

The shrine maiden couldn't believe her ears.

It was precisely because of the original accident that the Fernando family forcibly made the incompatible Kassandra the heir, and the load of the engraving brought great side effects to Kassandra's body, and all of this was caused by Andella.

Is this still the same Andella who has always cared about her sister and studied various belief systems day and night in order to help the other party get rid of the fate of the Fernando family?

The people who were with her this time had come together because of the same beliefs, but now the shrine maiden found that everything they believed was Andella's lie.

"That's Kassandora's own choice, and I've warned her not to use the Engraving anymore."

At the mention of Kassandra's name, there was a wave in Andria's eyes, but soon the emotion disappeared without a trace.

"It's not difficult to get the Stone Ghost Mask, but this crystal has to be brought to me by Andella herself from another era, and you're doing a good job, Andella...... That's all for the chat, and you will witness the dawn of a new era. ”

Dracula rose from his throne and waited for six centuries of dormancy and waiting.

Stone Ghost Mask.

A spell to control the power of the sun.

Forbidden knowledge that controls matter and life.

and the power of vampires.

When these forces finally come together, they will be able to bring something more powerful than the natural disaster!

Dracula took the stone ghost mask handed by Andella, and under his manipulation, a groove the same size as a crystal appeared in the center of the mask's eyebrows, and when the crystal was inlaid into the mask, the magic circle under his feet burst out with extremely dazzling light.

The light met with the dawn of dawn, and the shrine maiden had to close her eyes, and when the light faded, she found that the masked Dracula had left the circle and made her way to the window.

He tilted his head back and spread his arms, letting the light of dawn shine on him.

Immediately afterward, the shrine maiden heard the sound of the object leaving.

A crack pierced through the entire mask, and the mask that split in two fell to the ground, instantly turning into powder, even the crystal embedded in the groove.

However, in the sunlight, Dracula's body was intact, his skin showed no signs of burning, and his eyes were still closed, as if he was enjoying the changes that were taking place in his body.

It didn't take long for Dracula to finally get enough of the sun, and when he turned around, his pale skin was already bloody, and with a single stroke of his index finger in the void, a gap was torn open in the clouds, and a steady stream of necromancers rushed out of the cracks.

The shrine maiden gazed at the whirlpool in the sky, and this scene was like a natural disaster that had befallen the world.

At this moment, a creature that is more powerful than a natural disaster is born.
