Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)

The Underworld was a unique Prime World that stood above many Prime Worlds in terms of power. This was why even though many powers were surprised when they saw the name of a Vampyre Prince shine brightly on the leaderboard for the Infernal Hunt, they understood it as a fact when they connected this Prince to the Pureblood Vampyres of the Underworld.

It was a powerful world that was filled with unique monsters and powerhouses, ranging from the Vampyres, to Werewolves, all the way to the race of Cyclops and other unique creatures.

Out of all the organizations that were distributed across the wide Underworld though, the Vampyres were the most powerful, and the most secretive. They mostly kept to themselves as they continued to expand their lands and power, eventually becoming the known dominant force of the Underworld.

Noah observed the ancient castles all around him that made him feel like he was looking at an upgraded medieval era with monsters and magic as the ship that he and the Vampyre Prince were on landed squarely on a wide area behind one of the biggest castles in the huge metropolis they entered.

The doors opened to a shimmering red carpet that led all the way to wide-open golden doors that led towards the castle, with the right and left sides of the red carpet filled with neatly dressed men and women that all had the look of butlers and maids.

"Welcome back, O Great Prince."

It was an amazing sight to come across as this prince who had most likely just left this castle for a few minutes came back and received a welcome as if he had left for years. The heads of all these beings that Noah felt to all be Vampyres were turned down respectfully as they spoke with reverent voices. Noah turned to the impassive face of Prince Cassius who had already begun walking across the red carpet as he followed along, the prince pointing to the large castle in front of them and speaking out.

"This castle in front of you is the Royal Castle where many Vampyre Nobles reside."

The large castle was filled with a dense aura of blood and regality as Noah ascertained that much, not spreading his aura out too much lest he catch the attention of some powerful character that could put a damper on his plans.

They entered through the wide doors as even more neatly dressed butlers and maids gestured towards a door while bowing, speaking with reverential uniform voices that would make one feel a sense of awe and fear.

"The food has been prepared, O Great Prince."

Prince Cassius nodded as he led Noah further into the castle, bringing him to a wide hall that held a long regal rectangular table. On this table, gorgeously shining meats of rare beasts and animals were abundant, with golden inlaid cups and jugs holding a deep red liquid that glistened in the light. Noah's attention was grabbed by the resplendent assortment of foods, his nose wrinkling as he smelled the strong metallic scent of blood that permeated the wide room.

The Prince's face turned grim as he turned to the nearby maids, his voice becoming hard and ringing out in the hall.

"I told you all to prepare a meal for a guest."

The voice was chilling as the maids that were just preparing the food felt their legs buckle, a unique aura erupting from Prince Cassius that forced them to their knees as they apologized with ashen faces.

"We- we apologize O Great Prince. We didn't know the guest would be...we shall change it right away!"

They scrambled towards the long table as they waved their hands, the abundant amount of cups and uniquely golden jugs holding the reddish liquids reducing quickly as the prince waved his hands and set out another command.

"Leave us quickly. I expect no interruptions."

Quick nods were given as butlers and maids ran out as if their lives depended on it, Prince Cassius offering Noah a seat while he himself sat right opposite him as he looked at Noah with peering eyes.

"Alright, I still can't figure you out, so you'll have to be willing to share slightly more things about yourself today."

Noah smiled at the peering words, about to reply when the recently closed door was flung open again, causing a vein to appear above the irascible Prince Cassius as he spoke without even turning around.

"Did I not say there would be no interruptions?"

"Now, I would never dare to interrupt your special time O Great Prince, it is just that your father has called for you...and your guest."

A calm and jovial voice came out as the one to come in was an aged old man that held a vibrant aura, the large canines coming out of him glistening dangerously as he spoke out.

The Prince's tone changed as he turned to look at this powerhouse at the peak of the Void Realm as he asked quizzically.

"Father should still be in the meeting with the Council. I was going to have him meet my guest when he was finished."

"It appears quite a few heads were turned because of your guest, some in the Vampyre Council showing great interest as well."

The aged Vampyre replied with a respectful smile, saying words that turned the expression of the Prince sour as he replied his misgivings.

"That is not the way I wanted this to play out."

…

A brief pause came as the bowing Vampyre straightened up and looked at the two figures sitting on the wide dining table filled with an overabundance of food as he now replied coldly, yet still respectfully.

"It is what your father wanted."

Prince Cassius turned passive as he heard this, a confused expression appearing on his face as many thoughts passed through his head, eventually turning towards Noah with an apologetic expression.

"I apologize for this, it seems I cannot be a good host, and we must meet some old fogeys first."

Noah's eyes shone at the rapid progression of events, nodding as he stood up along with the Vampyre Prince, their gazes landing on the smiling Vampyre that began leading them out of the wide dining hall and deeper into the castle where powerful auras were abundant.

They passed through multiple halls and corners, and even ascended a few floors as the Butlers and Maids that they passed became more and more powerful, with multiple Transcendent Realm Vampyre maids dressed in voluptuous clothing standing outside wide doors that led to an expansive room.

The old Vampyre bowed as his right hand pointed towards the room while speaking out once again, this time his words directed to Noah.

"Please, enter into the Council Hall."

The invitation was crisp as the door opened, Prince Cassius entering with a slightly angered expression while Noah entered the room calmly, the door closing behind them with a clang as the room opened up in front of their eyes.

In this expansive room termed as the Council Hall, numerous auras honed in at Noah's position as his eyes stared straight to the far corner of the room where an exquisitely large bejeweled throne that screamed regality stood.

On this throne, a being with blood-red eyes and a tight-fitting suit was looking directly at Noah, his expression of great interest as oppressive auras began to permeate the entire room.

In less than an hour after his entrance into the Underworld, Noah was already meeting with the being that stood at the forefront of power for the strongest force established in this world!
