"Are you going to marry Léa?" she asked again.

"If I can win this fight...... Maybe. Ashrufat replied.

"Master, please remember your marriage to Kotoshin-sama no matter what. In the back of her mind, Carrie popped up again. "I suggest you make her your side room. And I don't think you can solve the problem of the officiant, the relatives and friends who witnessed the marriage, and some other customs and procedures. As a side room, it's not so much trouble. ”

Ashrufat shook his head slightly, driving Carrie's voice out of his head.

"Is it because you prefer that type? I've seen the portrait of Queen Kalean's Heart," Scarlet continued. "In a sense, it's a bit similar to Leia. Same petite cute. ”

"It's not about looks. Ashrufat replied. "And I'm with Kotoshin...... It's not the kind of relationship you think. Don't guess at these things. ”

He regretted it after saying this. Idiot! That's a thing of the past, so why do you want to do this?

"Why don't you let me go?" Leia's voice became fierce again. "More or less, I guess it can help you a little. ”

"I don't want you to die. As for what...... I seem to have already said that. He paused for a few seconds. "Maybe you touched me when I first met you. I don't understand it myself...... Maybe it was just pure sympathy, maybe it was just an accidental impulse...... But at that time, your indomitable eyes attracted me. The same is true now. His voice lowered. "If you think what I'm doing is worth it, then don't die. ”

"What do you mean by that......" Scarlet's voice stuttered a little. "But...... You've got Leia. ”

"I know it's selfish, but I don't want to lie. "There doesn't seem to be any conflict between liking her and liking you." Of course, this is just my one-sided selfish thoughts, so I don't have any delusions. I just hope you'll promise me not to put your dangerous ideas into practice......"

He walked forward, and in front of him, a door suddenly appeared in what appeared to be a wall made of rock, and he entered it. In a short time, the door closed again, as if it had never existed before.

......

"Where is this?" said Ashrufat, looking at his feet. The scenery around him seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Well, master, this is it, have you forgotten? Look at your back. ”

Behind him is a mausoleum built against a hill. However, it is clear at a glance that the building has been in existence for a long time, helping to be half-submerged in the grass and shrubs. In the tender green that has just spit out new shoots, the white of the marble pillar is exposed.

By the way, here it is...... This is the former base of the rebels! About a day's distance from the city of Meno!

Ashruphat looked around for a moment, and immediately realized that he was overly concerned. Although Meno was already under the control of the enemy, no one would come to such a barren mountain and wild place.

But why did Carrie bring him here, if I'm not mistaken, the rebels had cleaned the mausoleum in its entirety in order to use it as a base, and there was nothing to drive it in...... Wait, there is!

"Indeed, master, I think Cade and the others have already received the eternal life they dreamed of. Carrie replied in her head, and there was a sarcasm in her voice.

It took very little time for Ashruphat to open the entrance. When he left, he had the entrance sealed and locked with iron chains from the outside, and more than a year had passed, and now the chains and locks were rusty and mottled, and weeds had even grown in the cracks. Using the Withered Sword is easy to pick the lock.

The moment he opened the entrance, he immediately felt a powerful aura mixed with dark magic energy rushing towards him. An instinct told him that there was some kind of powerful presence in this closed base.

"Don't worry, master, let's go down. Carrie reminded in her mind.

Ashruphat walked down the stairs. With dark vision, he could easily see the whole situation. Nothing seems to have changed here, and there is no trace of biological activity in sight. Although it was said that he forcibly gave the blood to Cade to drink in the first place, he really had no psychological preparation to say what kind of monster Cade had become.

A low, animalistic growl interrupted his train of thought. Then, he saw a huge creature appear in front of him.

The creature resembles a monstrous giant wolf, or more specifically, a hybrid of a wolf and a bat. He was about the height of two or three Ashrufat. However, due to the limited ceiling height here, the beast can only move in a semi-prostrate posture.

The beast had wolf-like brownish-gray fur and bat-like forelimbs, but its wing membranes were not large, and the wing membranes had large claws at the joints. The beast's feet are heavy and it doesn't seem to be able to fly on its wing membranes. But perhaps they can glide with this wing membrane.

The Nameless Beast also discovered the presence of Ashrufat. Its wolf-like yellow eyes shone with a thirsty red glow. When Ashruphat looked at it head-on, he saw that its eyes were not filled with a hungry appetite like ordinary beasts, nor with a calm and intelligent glow like those sane creatures, but somewhere in between. For example, this beast is like a ghoul, full of madness and bestiality on the one hand, and a certain level of intelligence on the other.

Moreover, he could feel a very strong black magic energy from his body. Or rather, this thing is constantly exuding dark magic energy—not the control of energy like a black mage, but a simple, instinctive way of volatilizing this energy. When a dark mage releases a strong amount of dark magic energy, it means that they are performing a spell, and the beast doesn't look like it's casting a spell at all.

Ashruphat instantly summoned his sword and armor. Although Carrie didn't remind him, it was better to be cautious in the face of such a giant beast. Moreover, he could make out that the beast was looking at him with a strong desire to attack.

"Master, take note, unleash your black magic energy. Carrie prompted in her head.

Ashrufat did as he was told, and after he did so, he clearly felt that the desire to attack in the eyes of the giant beast had decreased a lot. The beast's body was still tense and ready to attack, but now it was a little relaxed.

"What is this?" Ashrufat asked Carrie in his mind.

"That's what happens when humans receive your blood. Carrie replied. "If you give your own blood to humans, your cells will be so viable that they can proliferate in their bodies, eventually replacing their entire body. In this process, brain cells are not spared in addition to the rest of the body. So their reason, intelligence, memory, etc., are destroyed in the process of transformation, forming this creature. ”

Because there were so many nouns in them, Ashrufat was almost completely incomprehensible.

"What the hell are they? Vampires, too?"

"It should be said that they are in a sense very close to you, like the difference between apes and humans. If a name is to be given, then they can be called bestial vampires. However, according to their appearance, they can also be called manta wolves. If I'm not mistaken, 'it' should be Cade. ”

Another voice rang out, and a second bestial vampire appeared in Ashrufat's field of vision. This one looked a little smaller, but it had a wide open mouth. In this large mouth, there are razor-sharp fangs. Ashruphat had no doubt that the fangs could easily bite through the armor and shatter the bones.

"There are two more...... This conversion rate is very high. In her mind, Carrie said in a self-muttering tone. "According to the experimental data of Kotoshin-sama, the success rate of the average human conversion is only about 1 in 1,000. Only those who have practiced the dark arts can reach an ideal value...... It looks like both Cayde and his servants practiced dark magic. Note that they no longer have the intelligence and memory they had as humans, and that the only thing that governs them now is bestiality and bloodlust, and that they are blood-mad beasts, but that doesn't mean they're completely brainless. ”

The bestial vampire watched the uninvited guest warily. After Ashruphat unleashed his dark magic energy, their desire to attack decreased, as they instinctively sensed that the smaller creature in front of them was essentially identical to them, and attacking this creature would not yield the blood they craved. Moreover, this creature is far more powerful than it seems to be his size.

A third bestial vampire appears. It purred in its throat with a furialistic sound, huddled with its two kind, observing the uninvited guest coming in from outside. Then came the fourth. The noise caused by Ashrufath's entry had drawn all the beasts to it. Cade and his servants are all here now.

"It's more than expected, it's really good. Carrie said happily. "Master, infuse your black magic energy into their bodies and make them at your disposal. Note that, unlike other undead, they will use their will to rebel against your domination. You must imprison their minds and make them completely subordinate to your command. ”

The whole process took quite a long time. As Ashrufat walked out of the mausoleum, the four bestial vampires followed him one by one to the ground. It so happened that at this time, a hare ran by not far away. At the sight of the little rabbit, the bestial vampires let out a bloodthirsty roar that nearly caused Eshurufat to lose control of them.

"Master, I'm going to use anchor points to teleport and get them to your army as quickly as possible. Carrie said.

"Wait a minute, Carrie, why don't there be such creatures in Kalyan's army. Ashrufat looked back at the bestial vampires. These behemoths have muscular bodies, bulging muscles on their bodies, strong knots, and extremely tough bodies that can withstand the damage of ordinary swords. And just now he did a simple test, and found that these monsters have an incredible amount of strength, and can easily tear down an entire wall. Bestial vampires' powerful lower limbs and wide wings allow them to perform a kind of semi-gliding flight over short distances.
