The Evil Savior from Collapse

A mere baron vampire has no right to be here, not even to listen outside.

At this round table meeting, the most eye-catching people were, without a doubt, several vampire dukes. They had cold expressions and majestic auras, and just a slight frown could make the viscount vampire tremble with fear.

The Vampire Grand Duke is the highest-ranking fighter in the Blood Royal Court. He is also the main threat that attacks humans and makes hunters unable to contend with him.

It was precisely because there were five vampire dukes in this era that once Geralt retreated to the rear, humanity was defeated, completely losing their homes and land, and the world forty kilometers away became a blood moon paradise, suffering from the brutal massacre of vampires.

A Grand Duke can instantly destroy a human gathering place within a radius of dozens of kilometers. In the face of such super-high combat power, the hunters must grit their teeth and retreat until they reach a place where the [Gravekeeper] can watch over it.

However, it was a video recording of the blood technique that brought the entire blood royal court together at the same time. The viscounts, earls, marquises, grand dukes, and all the elites appeared in the meeting solemnly, staring at the void in front of them and the content played on the screen.

At this moment, there was complete silence. Both the Viscount and the Grand Duke were silent, staring intently at the content displayed on the screen, and a chill rushed from their tailbone to their brain.

Even the vampire duke frowned and looked gloomy after seeing this scene, not to mention the low-ranking vampire viscounts, who were already pale and terrified.

At this moment, all the vampires looked at the same time at a calm-looking Grand Duke, who was Dracula.

This Grand Duke has an extremely close relationship with Dai Lao Goodsay, and they can even share resources and blood packs with him to jointly seize the right to speak in the blood royal court.

However, he said nothing at this moment, silently watching the picture of the Blood Hell Count's miserable cry.

All the vampires saw it clearly—

Chenjiu cut the huge bronze door in half with one blow. The huge knife mark instantly killed dozens of vampire guards who swarmed out. Then he transformed into a pitch-black chariot and slaughtered four or five hundred heavily armored vampires like a meat grinder. The whole process did not even take half an hour.

Until the end, I witnessed with my own eyes that Chenjiu only took one minute to kick Dai Lao's legs into pieces, then cut off his exoskeleton with a knife, nailing him to the ground and corroding him with the Blue Steel Shadow. Finally, the Soul Blade emerged behind him and beheaded Dai Lao.

The scene ended. At this time, no vampire dared to speak first. They just lowered their heads and waited for the grand dukes to break the silence.

"Dracula, what do you think?"

A magistrate spoke up, supporting his chin with his left hand, looking irritable and full of impatience, suppressing the urge to overturn the round table in front of him.

“…I don’t have any opinion.”

Grand Duke Dracula only said this lightly, but it was obvious that the bloodshot light flashing in his eyes showed that he was not calm.

At this moment, it was as if a volcano was gathering power. All vampires were afraid of the raging rage of a grand duke, which would undoubtedly burn them to death.

All the vampires present knew that the so-called distant relatives were complete nonsense. The relationship between Grand Duke Dracula and Dai Lao Goodsee was very complicated and could not be explained clearly by just a relative.

But if I have to describe it, if Grand Duke Dracula were asked to choose between all the vampires and Dracula, he would abandon all the vampires without hesitation.

It is a century-long story of loneliness that Archduke Dracula has never forgotten.

"Then let's talk in detail about that Soul Devourer Hunter."

Another Grand Duke said in a deep voice that at this time, five vampire Grand Dukes gathered here, and they accounted for almost 60% of the entire vampire combat power.

In this high-risk world, individual power is so great that the strength of an entire group is concentrated in a few people, whether it is humans or vampires.

After all, resources are equivalent to strength, and once resources are concentrated in the upper level, strength will naturally be concentrated in the upper level.

Where can we find so many strong people who can fight their way up from the bottom? In the extraordinary world, the 80/20 rule is even more cruel, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the 90/90 rule.

The question is, why do vampires value Chenjiu so much that they regard him as more important than the world's strongest, [Gravekeeper] Geralt Ashes?

It's very simple, because the strongest person in the world is gradually dying, and the vampires are about to rule the earth and trample all living things under their feet. How can they tolerate the rise of another strongest person in the world?

"I heard several earls mention him a long time ago, but I didn't pay enough attention to him."

"But it wasn't until the day he set foot in the royal court that I realized—"

"The Soul Devourer Hunter is far more dangerous than the Gravekeeper. He was born to annihilate our vampire race."

"By the time I realized this, it was too late. He had already broken through the royal court, killed Marquis Nobius's child, and left. By the time we, the Grand Dukes, had left the royal court, we were searching for the Scarlet Tower."

Grand Duke Dracula raised his eyelids and said coldly, "Why not just kill him directly? What's the point of using all those conspiracies and tricks to make him fall out with those fools of the Tower nobles?"

"Wouldn't it be better to kill him earlier?"

The Grand Duke he was questioning frowned and said, "Intercept and kill?"

"Dracula, you take it for granted, it's too simple!"

"You have no idea where the most difficult part of the Soul Devourer Hunter is!"

Volume 1000: The Oath Under the Moon ( subscriptions): Chapter : Once the moon appears, it will be in vain!

When the Grand Duke began to speak, all the vampires listened quietly, even the other four Grand Dukes. Dracula was scolded by him, but there was only blood in his eyes and no expression on his face.

"At first, I simply thought it was just a powerful youngster who took advantage of us Grand Dukes' search for the Scarlet Tower to attack the Royal Court. I was also puzzled as to why those Marquises seemed to be dead and couldn't even kill a young human who was not even twenty years old."

"But just as I returned to the royal court and began to investigate and collect battlefield intelligence, I discovered a shocking fact—"

The Grand Duke's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed. "The vampires he killed all lost their souls, leaving only flesh and blood. They lost all their immortality and divinity, and there is no possibility of recovery."

"At the same time, I detected signs of erosion and destruction on their bodies. They had no recovery abilities at all and died instantly, just like those weak humans."

"How horrifying! We, the vampires, become like humans when facing the Soul Devourer, completely losing our immortality!"

The whole audience was shocked and then fell silent, but the heavy atmosphere lingered.

Most of the vampires present had only heard of the Soul Eater's great reputation, but had never fought against him. They were just confused and reminded by those around them not to provoke the Soul Eater.

Now, a Grand Duke stood up and told them in a serious tone that there was actually a hunter who could hunt vampires as if they were humans?

This is so ridiculous!

How can such a thing be achieved with just food?

"The Soul Devouring Hunter's reputation began to spread when Marquis Nobius's youngest son had his soul ripped out in public and then devoured. At the time, all the vampires thought he was just a reckless and powerful hunter."

"But from the moment they saw the Soul Devourer devouring souls, they all understood—"

"The vampire's natural enemy has appeared."

The Grand Duke clenched his fists and continued, "I once tried to kill that Soul Devourer Hunter, but never succeeded. It was as if he knew I would kill him. We could never meet, but we kept missing each other, arriving at the same place at different times."

"Unconsciously, I began to feel that this was fate's decision."

As soon as the words fell, there was an immediate buzz of discussion. The viscounts began to discuss, the marquises' expressions changed, and the grand dukes frowned.

"Yes, it's as if fate has prevented me from ever reaching the reality where I can kill him. There are always coincidences that prevent me from killing him."

"Do you know how many coincidences like this have happened?"

"I tell you: one hundred and seventy-two times!"

The Grand Duke roared angrily and smashed the blood crystal alloy table in front of him with a punch, cracking it. He immediately calmed down and said, "If there is even one mistake, the so-called Soul Devouring Hunter will surely die!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other four grand dukes began to grow gloomy.

They believe in the existence of gods, because the Scarlet Tower is a gift from gods, and the vampires are a race blessed by gods. Possessing great power and immortality, the vampires will undoubtedly replace humans and become the sole rulers of this land.

But now, a natural enemy of the vampires has appeared, and fate has forced a grand duke to miss the opportunity to kill him for the 172nd time?

How ridiculous! Does this mean that the gods have abandoned their blood race?

Realizing this, they were shocked and suddenly understood why a busy Grand Duke would spend a lot of time trying to kill the Soul Devourer Hunter 172 times.

The more they were ambushed, the more terrified they became, and the more they tried to prove their suspicions were wrong. But reality told them that their suspicions seemed to be correct.

The Great Master calmed down and said, "So, I had a few juniors use conspiracy and trickery to turn the nobles of the High Tower against him, and have the Soul Devourer imprisoned, depriving him of all the means and resources to become stronger."

"At the same time, I also sent out vampire spies and ordered several outstanding vampire girls to try to win him over, to make this Soul Devourer Hunter ours, and to make that fate, which we don't know if it even exists, fall in love with us."

"Unfortunately, the ruse worked, but the winning over didn't. He doesn't seem to have much interest in the vampire girl."

Dracula suddenly interrupted the Grand Duke's speech, his lips curled up, his eyes flashing coldly: "Vampire girl?"

"I think I might be able to chime in on this. He's just a young human, barely twenty years old, how could he possibly not have any desires?"

"It's just that your methods are too crude and you're unwilling to invest the money."

"If it were me, I would absolutely be willing to send the most important vampire girl out to the Soul Devourer Hunter. It would be very convenient for either winning her over or monitoring her for backstabbing."

"..."

Are the vampires thinking about any important enough vampire girl? How come they don't know?

Suddenly, as if realizing something, the parliament exploded, and in an instant one of the Grand Dukes stood up angrily and cursed him: "Dracula!"

"Fuck you! You're just a newly promoted Grand Duke, a cheap bastard who rose from a blood servant. You sacrificed your life to become the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan. How dare you say such a thing?"

"If you're planning to use the Ancestral Blood Clan as a tool for a honey trap, I'm going to dig your unfortunate wife out of her grave today and feed her remains to the dogs!"

boom!

In an instant, a sharp cold light shot towards the Grand Duke who had broken out of his cursing. The next moment, the space split open, and the Grand Duke was immediately pulled into the void by a powerful suction force.

Dracula had a grim expression, his bloodshot eyes scanning the surroundings. Everyone fell silent and he said, "I need to take care of something first." Then he also dived into the void. The two grand dukes disappeared for a full five minutes.

During this wait that made all the vampires nervous, Dracula suddenly emerged from the void and threw half of his body on the ground. Blood was flowing, flesh was surging, and bloody flames were burning, but it seemed as cold as burning the soul.

All the vampires were horrified. They couldn't imagine that Dracula could tear another Grand Duke into two halves in less than five minutes and throw him on the ground as if he was dead. Even the Grand Duke's ability to recover by dripping blood seemed to have completely disappeared.

Seeing this, the other three Grand Dukes were even more apprehensive. Although they had long known that Dracula was the most powerful and mysterious among them, they had never expected...

Is it really exaggerated to this extent? In these decades of the Blood Moon Era, how far has he come?

Grand Duke Dracula threw the half body on the ground and whistled. A huge black dog rushed in with its tongue hanging out. In front of all the vampires, he tore the Grand Duke's body into pieces bit by bit and fed it to the black dog.

After feeding half of his body to the black dog, which seemed to be the lower half of the Grand Duke's body, he waved his hand and pulled the terrified Grand Duke back from the void. Then he held up his head, stared into his fearful eyes, and said calmly:

“This is the first warning.”

Under this powerful deterrent, the vampires began to seriously consider whether Grand Duke Dracula's suggestion was feasible, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt enlightened.

"...Before the day of sacrifice, the Ancestral Blood Clan was nothing more than a useless puppet, confined to the Scarlet Tower without leaving. They were completely worthless."

"But as a member of the Original Vampire Clan, her greatest advantage lies in her almost irresistible charm towards humans. I believe that any human being would be unable to resist the allure of the Original Vampire Clan."

"This isn't some ridiculous thing like appearance, personality, status, wealth, etc. It's—"

"A curse engraved in the soul by the gods. An ancestral vampire possesses such a charm that humans cannot resist. This is simply a disgrace to the vampire race!"

"So she has been imprisoned in the tower since her birth, never leaving the vampires' surveillance. I can't imagine how much of a disgrace it would be to our vampire clan if a vampire whose only ability is to charm humans were to go out into the world!"

"She is the original vampire clan!!!" The Grand Duke was extremely angry and clenched his palms so tightly that blood was almost dripping from them.

God knows how surprised they were when they discovered an Ancestral Vampire in the Scarlet Tower. This was the first time in a hundred years that they had discovered the existence of an Ancestral Vampire. In an instant, they thought of the legend that sacrificing thirteen Ancestral Vampires would grant eternal life and great power.

Although they are not very interested in immortality, all vampires are extremely eager for powerful strength.

"Although she is a member of the original vampire race, we have treated her well enough over the years. Now, it is time for this member of the original vampire race to make some contribution to us."

"..."

Finally, all the grand dukes unanimously agreed to Dracula's plan, letting the original vampire seduce the soul-eating hunter, either to win him over to the side of the blood clan, or to monitor him and wait for the opportunity to backstab him.

The torn-up Grand Duke was replaced by Dracula to vote.

In a few words, they decided the whereabouts of an original vampire, and a grand duke paid a huge price to disguise her as a lost and surviving human girl.

In this way, the Blood Clan Royal Court once again set up a conspiracy around Chen Jiu, although it might seem ridiculous and confusing to him -

Aren’t you guys just rushing to send your wives here?

……

Scarlet Tower.

The sky was gloomy and dark outside the window, with a dead silence. A blood-red moon shone its red light on the girl's bed.

The interior is luxurious and exquisite, with floor-to-ceiling windows decorated with enamel gems, a fusion of gold and blood crystal, an expensive dressing table, and a coffin made of golden nanmu standing by the bed.

But these exquisite living conditions could not make the silver-haired girl who was kneeling on the soft carpet on the ground feel happy. She looked at the scenery outside the window. Although it was an evil mixture of dim black and scarlet, it was still attractive to her.

She had never been out, nor had she seen any vampires other than the five grand dukes. She only knew that when she woke up one day, the five grand dukes treated her respectfully as a noble person and prepared everything for her.

Until one day, they discovered that the girl seemed to have no abilities at all. The only thing she had was a powerful charm deep in her soul that could attract humans.

In an instant, eyes filled with disappointment were focused on her, leaving the girl at a loss as to what to do. She could only lower her head, bite her lips, and watch the five grand dukes leave with cold faces. Except for delivering daily necessities to the tower on time through vampire bats, they never appeared again.

It's simple. All vampires have gone through the process of testing their talents, but no vampire has the ability to charm - and specifically to charm humans.

All of a sudden, as if he had seen a princess who could only charm wild beasts, the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan gave up on her and imprisoned her in this thousand-meter-high scarlet tower, not allowing her to leave even a step.

The only thing this girl longed for in her life was to stand on the ground and look at what was in the world, the flowers, trees, insects, birds, fish and snakes.

She occasionally wondered what humans were like. Did they look like her? Were they powerful? Would they fall head over heels in love with her because of her talent?

Maybe it would be a wonderful thing to be loved?

In any case, it is much better than being kept in this tower and imprisoned like a canary in a luxurious secret room.
