God of Vampires

Chapter 11: Zen

10 hours before the arrival of 'The Castle' in Azeroth Continent, Terio Empire Capital.

There lives a young muscular man who's an adventurer, like everyday the young man wakes up, washes his face and eats breakfast and leaves the Inn with his armor on in a hurried manner heading toward the adventurers guild.

This young man's name is Zen, no one knows his full name, some say Zen isn't his real name. And is known to be a Rank S+ Adventurer, showing up out of nowhere climbing the ranks of the adventurer guild at a fast pace. He's called a hero by everyone, no one knows what will happen if a powerful man like Zen turned against his own kind.

Entering the Adventurers Guild, walking toward the wooden counter, there stood a cat-eared young girl wearing a white uniform with black lines on it and a badge stating her name and rank.

The counter girl saw Zen heading towards her and said. "Mr. Zen Good morning, I got an interesting mission for you today, would you like to hear me out?"

"Yes yes, what rank and what is it about" Zen replied.

"It's unranked, since we don't know much we want you to investigate, payment is quite high. Few days ago, red clouds started forming at a visible speed making the air hard to breath in, these red clouds first appeared far away across the sea, mages detected unknown powerful energy from it, they want you to investigate, the payment is 10,000 gold coins..so what do you think?" the counter cat-eared girl said in a tone that would make anything she says interesting.

"Uhh, ok i'll take it since i'm the only guy here that is brave enough to seek death" Zen said in a low voice that no one would've heard it.

"Ok then, we got the word that the red clouds covered Mikhal Port this morning and reached 50 miles from here" the cat-eared girl said while making a smile.

Leaving the adventurers guild headquarters, Zen made an expressionless face while heading towards the south gate of the capital.

Renting a horse along the way to the red clouds location Zen started thinking to himself.

'I really wonder what those red clouds emma talked about' emma is the name of the counter cat-eared girl.

'Ohh! Just imagining what they look like at front makes me shiver, feels like something big is about to take place..' Zen thought, after 4 hours the horse suddenly stopped as if a barrier is blocking the way, Zen stepped off the horse and began to walk after few minutes he felt the hot air ear around him as if he was closing in to the gates of hell, it's getting hard to breath. And then he thought about something and looked at the sky, blood red clouds hovering and spreading like a monster devouring everything in its wake.

-aaaaaaw! Roar! Roaring!

Heard the screams and roaring and looked in front of him again and saw millions upon millions of all kinds of non-intelligent monster together traveling with the blood red sky, like its leading them to invade, Zen started running back to his horse and pulled a small bird cage from the bag on the horse, then took out small paper and a pen and wrote 'a horde of monsters is traveling with the red clouds get ready for war.'

Zen took the small paper and tied it to the small bird inside the cage then started whispering to the bird and let it go.

'Oh god! What have we done to deserve such a thing?' Zen thought while expressing a sad face, if one saw it they would say their hero is about to cry out fear.

Zen then got on his horse and set off towards the capital.

The blood red clouds reached Zen even though his horse ran as hard as it could and it eventually run out of stamina and stopped with legged crushed the ground, as Zen saw what happened to his horse his face change color completely, and stepped off his horse and left it behind while running and chanting at same time.

"Ooh your holiness carry this mortal to his home safe and sound.." Zen chanting a spell of some kind after finishing, golden light bubbles enveloped him and carried him to the sky traveling at high speed heading towards the capital.

After exactly ten minutes Zen landed inside the capital at an area filled with engraving and crystals embedded on it, looking like a receiver.

Upon landing a middle-aged man in a mage robe, black with golden lines on it. Bowed to Zen and looked like they knew each other.

Zen nodded and ran toward the adventurers guild building, after reaching the building he looked around and saw everyone is out of their homes looking at the sky, then he took look and saw

A big dark blue oval shaped object that looked like it would suck anyone in expanding for miles till covering the capital whole.

.

.

.

After a few minutes later he witnessed something he never thought he would witness in his own lifetime. A big magnanimous Majestic Castle the size of the capital stepped through the dark blue oval object, then after a full appearance the dark blue oval object disappeared as if it was never there.

"Oh my god, what is that...if it were to land we wouldn't stand a chance against the pressure" Zen said in a low voice, with his eyes and mouth wide open.

Around him people showed fear in their eyes thinking the end is near, some of them show greed and thinking if they would get their hands on such a big castle they would rule the world.
