"I need to talk to you two, alone."
Azriel turned towards Ithania and Luminia and spoke.
The two women nodded, Azriel nodded back and started walking toward Luminia's room.
Luminia and Ithania followed behind, they had many questions in their mind, and even Azriel had many things he wanted to share with them.
They would be having a long talk indeed.
On the other hand, seeing Luminia and Ithania following behind the man who had just suddenly appeared, the Vampires who didn't know about Azriel frowned in confusion.
Who was this man?
Why did he become the leader?
Why didn't Lady Ithania or Lady Luminia stop him when he killed that Vampire?
Why are Lady Luminia and Lady Ithania following that man like that?
These and many more questions appeared in their mind.
"I can't believe he is finally back."
On the other hand, the Vampires who knew about Azriel started discussing with each other.
"Heh, I knew he would come back, a monster like him cannot disappear like this."
Another Vampire replied.
"Indeed, even being surrounded by those human bastards didn't do anything to him, how can his end be so silent and sudden?"
"Umm… excuse me…"
While the Vampires were discussing with each other, another vampire walked towards them and spoke,
"You seem to know about that man…"
The Vampire spoke.
"Are you talking about Lord Azriel?"
"Yes, about him. Many people are confused or even dissatisfied with what just happened, but there are a few like you who look rather happy, no, happy is an understatement, you all are overjoyed. Can you tell me why is that? Can you tell me about that man? Can you tell me how he is qualified to be our leader?
I never liked that Zilander guy, however, I feel like what he said today wasn't wrong, when we have people like Lord Alcyone and Lady Ithania to lead us, why are we choosing a Master Stage Vampire?" The vampire named Alacdir, questioned.
"Are you dissatisfied?" The Vampire who knew Azriel questioned with a provocating smile on his face.
"No, I just-" Alacdir panicked.
"Hahaha~ Don't worry, I am just teasing you. As for your question, well, I am sure you weren't here when Lord Azriel was with us.
It was 22 years ago, at that time, we had just started, most of us weren't even Beginner Stage Cultivators and only hunted normal humans for our survival. Lady Ithania was strong, however, when compared to Lord Azriel, even she looked like a mere child.
Lord Azriel was absurdly skillful and has even killed a Grand Master Stage Human while he was just at Advance Stage. He was a complete monster who killed humans like they were bugs."
"He killed a Grand Master Stage Human when he was only at Advance Stage!?"
"Indeed."
"How is that even possible!?"
"Do you now understand why he deserves to be our leader?"
The vampire smiled.
However, suddenly, another Vampire walked toward the Vampires,
"Do you think a man can bathe in his past achievements for his entire life? According to what you said, he was indeed extraordinary before, however, what now? More than 20 years have passed, and while Lady Ithania has become a King Stage Cultivator, he is still stuck on Master Stage.
What do you have to say about that? So what if he can now defeat Expert Stage Cultivator? Do you think it is enough to lead us? If someone as weak as he can become our leader, why not Lord Alcyone then? He is a King Stage Cultivator, not only that, he is even a pure-blooded Vampire, he is even stronger than Lady Ithania, why don't we make him the Ruler?"
"…"
This time, the Vampire who was taking Azriel's side turned silent. He didn't have any answer to these questions. This Vampire was right, Lord Azriel was only a Master Stage Cultivator right now, even he was stronger than that.
"Heh, are you talking about Alcyone who was defeated by Lord Azriel a few minutes ago?"
Suddenly, Ferox walked towards these Vampires and snorted in disdain.
"WHAT!?"
Hearing his words, all the vampires, the ones who were talking, and the ones who were about to return, shouted in shock.
"T-That man defeated Lord Alcyone?" A Vampire questioned.
"Do you think I would lie to you? Look, as Lord Azriel said, if you are dissatisfied, challenge him. However, if you want my personal suggestion,
Then don't even dare."
Ferox spoke with a wide, crazy, and at the same time, intimidating smile on his face.
Seeing this, Valerian shook his head and sighed,
"As I thought, you are hopeless." freewe bnovel.com
He then stepped forward and spoke,
"Vampires, listen to me, I won't waste much of your time, however, there are a few things I have to tell you, the number of vampires we need to fight against all the races in this world is huge, so please don't waste your life by challenging him.
No matter how insignificant yours may be, a life is still a life, at the very least, you should die after killing a few humans. Challenging Lord Azriel is sheer foolishness.
Just think about it logically, do you think that with Sir Alcyone's personality, he would allow some random man to suddenly appear and become the ruler? Especially when that man is weaker than him?
Well, that is all I have to say, I will leave the rest to you."
Saying that, Valerian turned around.
Then, he walked towards Zilander's dead body… or… pieces… and started picking it up with a disgusted expression on his face.
"Why do fools even exist… making me work like this after dying so pathetically, tsk."
The sheer disrespect of the dead surprised the Vampires who were looking at Valerian, however, the man didn't care and continued to pick up the tra- dead body.
Soon, Tassia brought a bucket with her.
"Here." She spoke.
"Ah, thank you." Valerian nodded.
Then, he threw the pieces of Zilander's body into the bucket.
"Where are we throwing it?"
Ferox questioned.
"The dogs are most frequent in the west."
Valerian answered.
"Got it."
The other Vampires couldn't believe what they were seeing.
