Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 3 Without sunlight, one can only adapt to the darkness!

outside the city.

After discovering the sun had disappeared, Red King was slightly saddened.

After the grief, it found itself hungry.

It followed the scent all the way to the nearest Black Kingdom.

Upon seeing those "little men," Red King was overjoyed and suddenly charged forward, crashing into the high wall where the "little men" were standing.

"Boom!"

"what!"

Red King crashed into the city wall, creating a huge breach. Then, Red King excitedly grabbed several people and threw them into his mouth.

"Help!"

The soldiers screamed in terror, and just as they were about to fall into Red King's mouth, a dark shadow swept past.

"Crack!"

Red King bit into empty air.

The expected bursting sensation didn't come, which annoyed Red King. He scratched his head, unable to figure it out.

On the other side, Norman stood under the city wall, putting down the soldiers he had just rescued, one in each hand.

Just moments before, while the ministers were still wondering what was going on, Norman suddenly burst out and vanished from the council chamber at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Then they transformed into countless bats and flew to the city wall.

They managed to save several soldiers who had just been thrown into the air, sparing them from harm.

"The King? It's the King! The King saved us!"

"Long live the Emperor! May the Emperor triumph!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers shouted excitedly.

Norman patted the two soldiers beside him and shouted, "All troops, listen up! Begin the rescue! Lead the wounded to retreat!"

"Yes, sir!"

Norman's prestige was proven at this moment; even in the midst of chaos, the army remained obedient to him.

The surviving soldiers helped each other to rescue the remaining soldiers and retreated to the rear.

As they retreated, Red King heard the commotion below.

It looked at Norman and the soldiers, and roared angrily, raising its leg to stomp on Norman who was standing in front.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Red King's foot stomped down.

The massive tremor made the soldiers lose their footing, but they all rushed towards Red King with all their might, their eyes bloodshot, wishing they could tear Red King to pieces.

But just as they took two steps forward, they saw a swarm of dark bats fly back and reassemble in front of them to form... their king!

Is the king a bat? Uh, no, the king turned into a bat?

The soldiers were a little slow to react, but Norman had already tested his abilities.

The bloodline upgrade he just extracted is [Child of the Night], a special bloodline that surpasses that of vampires.

They can use blood magic, and their strength, speed, and reaction ability are a hundred times greater than before. Moreover, this bloodline has an advantage: it does not need oxygen or sunlight. It can absorb the planet's energy to survive by going through a special ritual!

Moreover, apart from these additions, everything else that humans originally had has not disappeared!

With such powerful basic abilities, coupled with the power of synchronizing the entire civilization, killing a Red King would be a piece of cake!

Norman leaped into the air, and his fingernails grew longer.

"Clang!"

A flash of silver light disappeared in the torchlight, and then Norman and Red King passed each other and landed on the city wall.

Red King, who had been rampaging through the land, stood there dumbfounded.

It wasn't until a gust of wind blew that Red King's head suddenly fell off, and his massive body, losing its strength, fell backward.

Red King is dead!

"All generals, heed my command! Quickly launch a rescue operation and repair the city walls!"

Norman flicked his robe, his figure standing with his back to the campfire, elongated by the firelight, making him look like a giant standing between heaven and earth.

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers roared, their minds filled only with Norman's image and voice!

They, who already deeply admired their king, had now become fanatical followers of Norman!

Behind them, the ministers were also alarmed by the huge roar and rushed out in a panic.

If you see a swarm of bats flying by, they will become their king after landing.

Norman not only returned himself, but he also brought back Red King's head and a piece of flesh.

"Allen, go and find out if this monster's flesh is edible."

"Yes, sir!"

Dean Allen realized what was happening and quickly gathered a few people to help lift the piece of meat, then ran towards the laboratory.

The others, however, couldn't help but tremble as they stared at the monster's head, which was as tall as three people.

"Return to the council chamber for the meeting."

Norman patted his cousin Caitlin on the shoulder and led the way into the council chamber.

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly followed them inside.

After sitting down again, Norman looked at everyone and said, "Just now, I received a divine revelation and an evolution in my bloodline. This evolution will spread to everyone in our kingdom over time."

"You, every one of my subjects, will evolve!"

"But this is only a last resort. After so many years of developing education, you should know the importance and beauty of sunshine."

"Our technology is not enough to save our civilization and planet. Since there is no sunlight, we can only adapt to the darkness."

As Norman spoke, he opened his hand, and thirty drops of bright red blood appeared in his palm, floating there.

"This is my ancestral blood, which can enable you to rapidly evolve your bloodline, but the price is that you will never be able to escape my control. You can choose for yourselves."

Norman knew that what he was saying now could easily be perceived as coercion.

But there was nothing he could do; now only he could hear the roars of monsters echoing across the entire planet!

Because of the sun's disappearance, monsters have awakened across the entire planet!

They will instinctively try to prolong their lifespan, either by eating humans first or by eating other monsters first.

But regardless of which one it is, it will pose a huge threat to them, humans!

He needs enough strong individuals to fight these guys, otherwise he'll easily become a firefighter, running around trying to turn the tide but unable to do so.

Of course, even if all the civil and military officials present became children of the night, they would not be able to defeat the monster in a short time.

But all they need to do is become stronger.

The larger the base number, the stronger he, the ruler of civilization, will be!

"It is my duty!"

Caitlin was the first to respond; without the slightest hesitation, she took a drop of ancestral blood and swallowed it.

The bloodline of the Children of Night already spread throughout the entire Dark Kingdom, and upon obtaining the ancestral blood, this bloodline was instantly activated.

Caitlin's appearance remained unchanged, but her skin became whiter and smoother, and her figure became even more perfect.

Caitlin's transformation was noticed by everyone.

With a casual squeeze, Caitlin easily crumpled her sword into a ball.

The ministers' breathing quickened instantly; who wouldn't want such power?

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty for eternity!"

The ministers received the ancestral blood and swallowed it. Subsequently, their individual sizes changed and their strength increased rapidly.

As they grew stronger, Norman also gained even greater power.

"it is good."

Norman nodded with satisfaction. "Next, let's discuss how to plan the living area."
