Chapter 37: Revenge Is Only Acceptable If You Are Sure To Win!
Alucard just kept on slamming his fist into Dracula's face for a long time. The attendant standing outside was already getting worried as he could hear what was happening! Did Alucard really want to kill his son!? The entire forest was shaking with those punches!
But after one last strong punch, Alucard stopped as the tree behind Dracula groaned before it fell to the ground with a loud crash! Alucard had a lot of blood on his fist as he pulled back. For the first time since the fight started, Dracula could see another expression other than anger on Alucard's face, and it was an expression of complete disappointment! Alucard gave this boy the entire coven to look after and look what Dracula did! He took his vampire brothers and sisters to go and fight for a demon Queen that was never accepted! She never even passed the trials! Why would he trust her!?! Now they are all dead! The coven that used to be filled with more than a thousand vampires now barely had up to five hundred!
Alucard grabbed his son by the shirt and Dracula sneered in Alucard's face! Dracula was bloodied and beaten but he still had a fire of anger burning in his eyes! Alucard ignored this as he started to talk to Dracula.
"I started to lead this coven when I was a child of eighteen years. What I did for you was more than any other vampire lord has ever done for their child. Do not ever presume that my love for you was any less than it should have been,"
Alucard stood up finally and took a handkerchief out of his pocket to clean his hand while Dracula spat some blood out of his mouth. Alucard called on the attendant and the man appeared in a swarm of bats. The attendant was completely stoic as he stared at the two of them. He bowed to Dracula and then he bowed to Alucard. No matter what happened here, he has no right to say anything about it! He is a new vampire that was only two hundred years old. This was a family matter and he was not a part of the family.
Alucard pointed back to the mansion.
"Clean out the whores my son took and then call a meeting of all the vampires in the coven. Tell them that the vampire lord called them. Is that right, son?"
Alucard said the last part to Dracula while stretching his hand out and Dracula frowned before sighing. He hated when his father was right. He stretched out his hand to take Alucard's hand and allowed himself to be pulled to his feet by Alucard. Immediately he stood up, he activated [Healing]. His injuries started to fade and his face became pristine again. Even with all the fighting and the blood on his shirt, he still looked like a model!
"Yeah. Tell everyone that they should come before the clock hits midnight. I think it's time we greeted our lord,"
The attendant bowed and then vanished in a swarm of bats!
.....
That night, the vampires all gathered in the basement beneath Dracula's mansion. They had no idea what they were here for since Dracula has still not told them anything! They only knew that this was the first time that they would be meeting in the past hundred years since that demon queen died. Ever since the hero killed the demon queen, the people in this town have tried their best to drive out every single vampire that they can. Everyone from the coven was waiting for the vampire lord to call this meeting but there has never been any meeting! They were just left to do whatever they wanted for the past hundred years!
But now that the vampire lord was calling a meeting they all came immediately! Although, they were now confused because they could see that their lord was standing to the side just like them. They were in the meeting room and there was a large chair at the head of the room where the vampire lord is supposed to be seating, but the vampire lord was standing instead of seating. Is there something he is waiting for?
Ka-cha!
The doors to the room suddenly opened and everyone turned around immediately. They saw a man with black hair and red eyes come into the room and some of the older vampires there immediately recognized him! This is Alucard! This is the man that was their vampire lord before his son took over!! What is he doing here!? I thought he died!
Alucard walked to the side of the door and bowed as someone else came in and this person made every single vampire widen their eyes in shock! They could immediately tell just by looking at him! This is the demon lord!
Floid walked in with Pyra and Rosavellt at his side. His eyes were narrowed into a bored look as he stared at all the vampires. Immediately he started to walk forward, they all started to fall to their knees! The long line of vampires all fell to their knees and greeted their lord with bowed heads! The amount of joy that they felt at this moment was immense! They felt like they could finally see a future for themselves again! Their lord was alive! The demon lord came back!!
No wonder the Vampire lord didn't seat on the throne! He knew that someone else was supposed to seat there!
Floid walked till he got to the throne and he sat down regally. He crossed a leg over the other and rest his chin on his closed fist while leaning his elbow on the armrest. His cold eyes swept over all of them as he started to talk.
"The vampire coven. Once lorded as the second strongest group of demons after the orcs. I did not expect you to be so... Few,"
Immediately Floid said this, his eyes landed on Dracula and the man shivered. He could feel the disappointment hitting him like a laser beam! But Floid didn't bother to do anything to him. Floid already promised Alucard that he would not kill his son. Alucard personally begged for this and it was the first time that Alucard ever asked him for anything so Floid agreed.
"My lord, I apologize. I believed that I was avenging the death of the previous demon lord by following his daughter and I simply wanted to free my people -"
[BloodLust]!!
The entire room of vampires suddenly became suffocating as Floid's bloodlust suddenly spiked when he heard what Dracula was saying. You wanted revenge? The only time when you are allowed to seek revenge is when you are sure of victory! If you are not sure of that victory then you are just jumping blindly to your death! Floid knew he was the one that killed the vampires, but it is still stupid what Dracula did. Dracula knew that the demon queen was a fake and he allowed his blind devotion to her to lead to the death of five hundred vampires! I really want to kill him!
The Bloodlust skill was a skill that amplified your emotions and projected them in the form of physical pressure. The greater the mana you have, the more pressure you can exert using this skill, and Floid had a lot of Mana! He increased his bloodlust and Rosavellt twitched a little beside him. She was trying her best to remain standing but it was obvious that she was also being affected. Floid's bloodlust was the equivalent of an SSS class Mage now and he was still increasing it!
"If you wanted revenge then you should have kept your brothers and sisters out of your foolish crusade. You followed a false demon lord and killed half of my people? What sort of apology can possibly make that okay?"
Floid glared at Dracula and waited for a response!
