Chapter 1 We Shouldn't Have Trusted The Humans!
"Dammit! I knew we shouldn't have trusted these humans!"
"What's the point of talking about it n- down!"
*Clank*
The man jumped at the other to push him to the floor and saved him from the arrow that was aimed at his head.
Just as the two of them were trying to stand up again, they fell to the floor powerlessly.
"W-Why am I feeling so weak?"
"It's the food! Those bastards poisoned it!"
"A-Are we really going to die like this?"
"…"
The man did not reply. The man who questioned turned silent as well and his pale face turned grim. Although he did not get his answer, the silence confirmed that there was a very tiny, if any, chance of their survival.
He then looked around and his eyes were filled with hatred and self-loathing when he witnessed how his friends and family were being slaughtered by those damned humans.
The worse thing was that he couldn't do anything to save them.
His body already was turning numb…
He knows that he should run away but his heart did not allow it.
Even if he ran away, he wouldn't be able to live a normal life and would have to be on run throughout the rest of his life.
He hated that thought.
He wouldn't live a life of a dying dog.
If that was how it would end, he might as well die right now, together with his friends and family.
At least it would be a respectable death.
He then turned his head as he glanced at the huge dining table where a man wearing a white shirt with a red coat on the top was sitting on the main chair.
The man's features were ridiculously attractive, he had shiny blonde hair, and his face was pale white as if he had no blood in his body but that combined with his beautiful red eyes added an extra charm to his face.
However, right now, this handsome man had a bitter smile on his face as a drop of blood trailed out of his mouth.
"Why did you betray me…?"
The man questioned in a calm voice, however, that calm tone carried deep emotions that the man was unable to hide even after trying so hard.
"You aren't fooling anyone with that calm attitude Dardan, I know that you can't move your body anymore. Don't worry though, since you helped me so much, I will give you and your race a painless death"
In front of the pale-faced, red-eyed man stood another man wearing white robes with golden coloured patterns.
The man had blonde hair, crystal blue eyes and a small nose. There was a disdainful smirk on his handsome face as he glanced at Dardon and laughed.
"This poison… you do not have the ability to make it, how did you get it?"
Dardon questioned completely ignoring the disdainful smirk the man had on his face.
"Haa? Did your brain stop working after being poisoned? It's the demons who gave it to us. You can't even guess that till now?"
Knowing that Dardon had no chance to resist, the man replied. His disdainful smile widened even more.
"So it's them huh…"
Dardon muttered, the bitter smile on his face did not fade away.
"I should have listened to my advisors, they were right. You humans can't be trusted."
Dardon chuckled, his voice was full of regret as he glanced at his advisors who were trying to protect themselves, but with their bodies weakened due to the poison and the fact they were outnumbered one to six, they weren't faring any good.
"Hahaha! That's not true! Your efforts weren't in vain, look how much we humans have progressed with your help! Look, we can even kill you vampires now! Hahaha!"
The man laughed like a maniac as he slashed his sword, the sword's energy was released before it quickly caught a vampire who was running away and beheaded him.
As the vampire's body fell on the floor, it twitched a little before it stopped moving, signalling his death.
Although there was no change in Dardon's expression, people who were close to him could have easily sensed that he was sad…
Sad, regretful, remorseful and… afraid.
No, he wasn't afraid for his life, after living for so long, he wasn't scared of death.
What he was scared about was the future of his race. He did not know what would happen in the future, but he was sure it won't be any good after today.
*Boom*
While he was drowning in his sorrow, an explosion was heard followed by a blood rain, however, the 'raindrops' were like Scythe of the Death God for the humans as they pierced through their hearts, killing countless humans in a single move.
"What are you sitting there for!? Are you really going to let these bastards do whatever they want!? You are a King! How can you be so weak!?"
A powerful voice was heard and a man wearing a black coat appeared in the hall.
All the humans felt a strong feeling of suppression after his arrival and they lowered their heads.
The Vampires, on the other hand, had bright smiles on their faces, it was as if the threat they faced was already over.
The bloody fight that had continued for a while stopped for a moment.
"Father…" Dardon muttered as he glanced at the figure.
"Hahaha! You finally appeared old man! I was waiting for you!
p
"You? You are going to take me on?" The man questioned in disdain.
"I cannot, but that doesn't mean they can't either, right?"
Oswin smiled and as soon as his words ended, a loud laugh was heard.
"Hahaha! Vlad, I was waiting for you! You finally showed up!"
"This voice…"
"Haahh? You can't recognize your old friend? Now that makes me sad…"
A man with a muscular physique and 1.5 meters bat-like wings behind his back appeared, his skin was covered with red coloured scales that looked very sturdy. The man had sharp features and his golden eyes gleamed with joy.
"Ikaros…" Vlad muttered with a frown on his face.
"Now now, don't forget about me, you guys."
Another hoarse voice echoed throughout the hall as another man with purplish skin and two red horns on his head appeared in the hall.
"Balon…"
"Hehe~ Vlad, you old man. I am here as well"
"Haha! How could I miss this big party, I am here as well"
"Me too!"
Looking at the Six individuals standing in front of him, Vlad's face turned grim as well.
He knew he couldn't win.
His crystal red eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
"Dragons, Demons, Elves, Dwarves, Beastmen, and… humans… So all the other races in Yrniel have banded together against us vampires?"
Vlad questioned, his tone was extremely calm, however, his eyes looked frightening.
"Hahaha! You think you can scare us with that look?"
"Ikaros, why bother talking? Let's just destroy them" Balon laughed eerily before he rushed towards Vlad and punched him.
After blocking his attack, Vlad jumped back, he then glanced at the vampires and shouted.
"Have you already admitted your defeat, you Bastards!? What is with that weak look!?
We, are the Vampires!
What have we ever been scared of?
Fight!
Even if you are poisoned, fight!
However, remember, our main targets are these backstabbing humans!
Kill as many of them as you can!
Kill!!"
The vampires, who had already lost their will to fight had a change in their expression.
The two vampires, who couldn't stand before stood up. With cold eyes, their weapons appeared in their hand and they rushed toward the humans.
""Kill!""
Other vampires also did the same as they took out their weapons and started slaughtering the humans without caring about their injuries.
They only had one thought in their mind, if they are going to die, they will at least take one human with them.
"May we meet again in the Heavens!"
"""Kill!"""
A blood-red sword appeared in Vlad's hand before he rushed toward his enemies as well.
This last fight...
He will give it his all!
*Boom*
