Section XIII Legends

Ashrufat walked towards the ruins. This tragic scene of ruin and destruction made him feel a nameless pain.

After walking to the ruins, this feeling became more and more obvious. All the buildings were destroyed, nothing was left. There must have been an extremely bloody and tragic war here, which filled this ruin with so much sorrow.

There was the sound of footsteps.

Ashrufat turned his head and saw a dozen or so soldiers led by an officer appear on the edge of the ruins of a large building. The soldiers saw him and immediately rushed to this side.

"Who are you!" asked the officer in the lead, as he ran. But when Ashrufat shook off his cloak, he let out a scream.

"It's a vampire! It's a vampire!

"I'm not ......" Ashruphat felt a little puzzled, but immediately realized why the other party would react this way. The armor he wears is indeed the armor used by vampires. Even if he didn't have fangs in his mouth, he couldn't get rid of this misunderstanding.

The officer stepped back, but when he had composed, he immediately saw that Ashrufat was alone.

"Don't be afraid, he's only one! Everyone, kill him!"

"Master Eshurufat, things are getting a little in trouble!" Carrie's voice rang in his ears. "According to my calculations, if these soldiers spread the word about you, we would be very dangerous and unnecessary. I suggest you kill them all at once!"

"It's not a choice for me, is it? Ashrufat drew his sword and rushed forward. Suddenly, he found himself having crossed the gap between himself and the soldiers.

This is...... What does that feel like......

The sound of a heartbeat is deafening......

The ground beneath his feet was trampled and crumbled......

As long as you stretch out your hand, it seems that even a small stone a hundred meters away is at your fingertips......

The movements of these human soldiers became very slow, almost like immobile clay puppets, and they fell with one blow......

Ashruphat stopped in surprise. Behind him, all the people fell in pools of blood. "By the way, I'm now the Scarlet Duke Essrubat, and that's the power of a vampire?" he muttered to himself as he looked at the setting sun, looking at his hand in disbelief.

"That's not right...... Not me...... Carrie, did you do that?"

"Yes, master, I've done a physical enhancement. However, in your current situation, you can only maintain this combat state for twenty seconds. You've been fighting for eleven seconds. ”

"We killed these soldiers, what are we going to do now?"

"The place is dangerous and we can't get any assistance. If I had to suggest, I would recommend getting out of here. Let's go east. ”

"But it's desert...... I don't have the equipment to cross the desert. ”

"You don't need those things anymore because you're not human anymore. ”

"But I was told I wasn't a vampire yet. ”

"But you're not human anymore. Thirty-five percent of your body is already a vampire. So you can cross that desert. Don't worry, I'll take care of getting you right. ”

Ashrufat looked at the ruins, there was no point in staying here anymore. So he turned his head and, as Carrie suggested, headed east. The setting sun left a long shadow behind him.

......

The war against Kalean lasted for several years. Despite the blessings of the gods of the astral realm, vampires are far more tenacious and courageous than they think. However, the light will triumph over the darkness, and although the vampires have won war after war, in the end, the human army has numerically forced them to retreat and besiege Kalean......

...... The siege of Kalean was fierce. Vampires and the dark mages of the city of Callean use powerful magic to protect the walls from the fire of siege cannons. It took a year-long siege before the dark magic was finally broken by the light magic of the Light Priests.

The walls of Kalean finally collapsed under the bombardment of artillery. Coalition soldiers swarmed into the gap, and the battle at the back of the pack began. Despite all the advantages, the ensuing street fighting was far from being a "tail sweeping" job like ordinary warfare. The vampires fought house to house, street to street, magic to magic, sword to sword, fighting to the last pawn. Every building, every street, needs to be watered with countless blood before it can be occupied and consolidated......

...... When all of her servants were defeated, the head of the vampire family, Queen Lyxin of Callean, took her own whip and dagger into battle. Legend has it that every human she killed immediately revived as an undead creature and turned to fight her companion. Before she was finally defeated, thousands of human soldiers were killed. The battle was so gruesome that none of the survivors wanted to bring it up again......

The vast majority of the vampires were killed during the siege of Callean, and only a few escaped from the area. However, for human beings, it is not known whether they are lucky or unlucky. The most powerful warrior and mage of the vampire family, the Queen's consort, the Scarlet Duke Esslufat, was not in Kalyan at this time. There was no doubt that he should have been on some secret mission somewhere far away at the time. Because at that time, there was no record of vampire activity in any part of the world.

Legend has it that this vampire is unclean enough to slay a mighty dragon, and his evil magic can destroy holy angels. If he had been there at the time, with his terrifying strength, it would be very likely that he would have fought his way out and rescued the Queen of the Piano Heart.

But in any case, Ashrufat was not present. By the time he returned to Callean at his worst, it had been long after the war had ended. In front of him, all that remained was ruins. At that moment, he saw the tragic end of the destruction of his home and the murder of his lover. In a rage, the vampire roared and swore to be the enemy of all mankind......

...... Although the vast majority of the human army has retreated, there are still a small number of human troops stationed in the ruins of Kalean. The main purpose is to search for the remnants of vampires of various evil instruments so that they do not fall into the hands of those with bad intentions in the future. There are also books and scrolls that contain knowledge of dark magic. These things must be handled safely and thoroughly so that they do not circulate. These garrison units carried out planned excavation and disposal of the entire ruins in small detachments.

It was such an unfortunate detachment that Ashrufat came across and was slaughtered almost immediately by the vampire. Only one lucky person escaped. Although he was hit by a killer sword in the heart position, his heart was actually slightly different from the position of ordinary humans, so he escaped with his life. After realizing that they couldn't stand up to the vampire, he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead until the vampire left. It was through the mouth of this survivor that people understood the existence of the Scarlet Duke Essrufat.

The roster of the captured vampire families was found, only to find out that Ashrufat was actually the queen's consort, the highest nobleman among the vampires. The hunt for the vampire was supposed to be on the agenda immediately, but due to laziness, dereliction of duty, and lack of transportation, the matter was delayed. The person in charge of this may have the naïve thought that "there is only such a vampire left, what can he do alone?"

The account of Ashruphat was short-lived and disappeared from the annals of history. Nobody cares, no one notices. It was even deliberately ignored. This was of course extremely stupid, because the next time Ashrufat's name was mentioned, he had already begun to plot revenge against humanity. And no one could have imagined that this vampire would have such a powerful and terrifying power.

...... Callean, a vampire-ruled kingdom, has fallen. It was a glorious and glorious victory that put an end to the threat posed by this monster to humanity. As the legend describes, a vampire's attempt to convert a normal human into their companion is a complex, lengthy, error-prone, and debilitating process, so they don't usually do it. Only the Queen of the Hearts is an exception. She is the only one who can quickly turn humans into vampires. And the death of Queen Qinxin has since cut off the possibility of the large-scale appearance of vampires.

In a mysterious hall, nine figures sat around a round table. One of them stood up.

"I will now report good news and bad news. The good news is that our operation was successful, and the search officer Kotoshin has been confirmed dead. What everyone feared didn't happen in the end. ”

"The bad news is that this war is a war that we have done with all our might, and the cost is huge. But little was gained. All of the equipment was destroyed before Kotoshin died. It can only be recycled as a metal material. The only thing we got was a Magic Map-type combat robot. This robot ran out of energy on the battlefield, so it was recycled by us. But to really use it, you need to crack the code and reprogram the control. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. ”

"Is there an artificial intelligence that has found the heart of the piano?" someone asked.

"Unfortunately, no. That bitch has blasted even gadgets like communicators and remote controls, how could he possibly leave the AI for us?" replied the man who stood up.

"Good. Our first step has finally been accomplished. Kotoshin is dead, and our greatest threat has been lifted. According to the predetermined plan, the second step of the work should now be started as soon as possible. ”

"Spaceship manufacturing plan, ......"

Several people were whispering, saying something inaudible.

"Originally, it was almost impossible, but fortunately we have a team of specialists......

Someone brought up a stack of documents and passed them between people, explaining them......
