RE:BORN Zombie

Chapter 129 The Beginning of Chaos IV

The closer Victor got to the area with people fighting, the more the familiar scent of vampires came to his senses. By the time he got close enough, he could make out figures of vampires fighting against what was most likely the human side that had come to check out what was happening around the gate. Though, it seemed like they had been carried away by all the fighting that they did not noticed the vampires that slipped away and were murdering the humans in the city everywhere. Victor didn’t know how to describe it, it was almost as though they were in a crazed state.

‘It has to be them then.’ Victor said in his mind as his eyes gave a light glow, and through the chaos around a vampire seemed to have caught sight of them.

Shining red eyes weren’t something exclusive to vampires, but it was something very telling, and for vampires that very possibly may have come from a different world, it couldn’t be said what was the norm.

Victor noticed the gaze that fell on him, but he couldn’t be bothered and just vanished from the spot.

In an instant he had appeared within the vampire castle within the throne room, but this time there was no one in the room and it just was empty. On a normal day this wouldn’t be much of a problem, but today was different and coincidences just don’t happen without a cause.

Victor immediately turned to his system and looked through the map of the entire castle. He noticed the positions of vampires all around wasn’t a problem, but their number was. He had never seen so many of them be around the castle like this. To top things off, he found that there were a bunch of humans been held somewhere in the castle, and they were still alive. The problem came when the number of humans dots Victor could see in the map could not be counted even though they seemed to not be in a small space. This only showed how many they were.

Victor teleported elsewhere and appeared before a vampire lady, and without any time wasted, he questioned her on where he could find the vampire lord. In order not to waste any time, he used the skill domination before asking the question. The vampire started spilling all she knew before a second passed and even went on into other things she was not asked. Victor simply dropped her on the ground and went on after getting what he needed. From his map he knew exactly where to go.

..

“Take her body to the reserved room and we’ll wait for her to wake up.” The vampire lord ordered one of the elders who was female, and the vampire did so quickly.

“Athan, get your students to head to the location where that energy came from, you know their task.”

“Yes.” Athan answered. He was one of the elders present, and one of the strongest ones in the family too.

Right after the vampire lord gave that order though, Victor came from the large heavy stone doors that closed off the room, and to the surprise of everyone, he had gotten there without there being any sort of friction with the vampires they had stationed through the entire castle. At this moment, all they could think of was whether the other vampires were still alive, for them not to report an intruder or even fight back, because if they did, those in that room would know.

The other thing that caught very ones attention was how a hole had appeared on the door that allowed Victor walk through. Of course, he used his skill excavate to make the clean passage, but they didn’t know that of course, so it was every bit off and they dared not attack or make any rash movements.

Instead of asking questions right off the bat, Victor noticed the platform and alter, and he also noticed the huge gaping hole below the altar.

Walking straight to the hole and looking down, he immediately saw something that caught his attention. He had started reading lots of science stuff and running a few of his experiments, but that knowledge was not needed for him to figure out that what he was looking at was the cause of the huge gate that opened in the middle of city E which was now partially in ruins as far as human life was concerned.

Without looking at the vampires or the vampire lord, he kept his focus on the machine below that filled the space below, and before he asked, he activated his skill Domination before he asked, “Someone mind explaining what this is?” Victor said. Of course, he didn’t get any answer from the vampires, but what was going on in their heads was totally different from what Victor would guess.

They originally made plans for the off chance that Victor would appeared unexpected, and that plan was to fight him head on altogether. They had been afraid of him this whole time, but that was simply based on impression and his show of speed the first time they met him. Who was to say he would be able to take all of them on at the same time while they hadn’t tried it? Every vampire Elder was extremely strong in their own rights and were easily far stronger than the strongest humans, so they saw themselves having a chance.

But now, with the effect of Domination, Victor has really broken their will to attack. It didn’t have the same effect as on the weaker vampires, but the skill proved to be more than effective.

“I will have you know that right now a gigantic gate is opened right in the heart of City E, and for some reason, there are vampires roaming and killing the humans there.”” Victor continued as no one was talking.

The moment he mentioned that the gate was still open, the faces of the vampires before him changed slightly, and most of them took their eyes off him for a brief moment as they looked towards Melchior who also wore a confused expression mixed with something else. Following that was their reaction to the mention of vampires.

They did control their expression when Victor mentioned the gate, but after his mention of vampires, the faces of all the elders and even the vampire lord changed, and it was neither fear nor surprise, the closest description was something close to anger.

“Seems like you know something. Well, start spilling.”
