American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Chapter 441 The Rebellion in Progress

“Tell me your identity and everything you’ve been through.” Mike leaned down to look at the vampire lying in the mud, looking disheveled.

“My name is Maris, and I am a member of the Normanus family from a thousand years ago…” As if resigned to his fate, Maris rolled over, lay on the ground, looked up at the young man in front of him, and revealed all his information.

The Normans family was a very famous noble family before the fall of ancient Rome. It's indeed easy to understand why a pure-blooded vampire would appear in such a noble household.

"Then tell me, have you ever killed any humans in your vampire career?" Mike's eyes turned cold.

Although he did not use hypnosis, he still had a way of discerning whether the other person was telling the truth in what they said next.

“No, actually I’m a pacifist among pureblood vampires. We firmly believe that one day, vampires and humans can coexist peacefully…” Maris revealed the secret in detail.

Even during the peak of the vampire race a thousand years ago, there were various internal disagreements, which led to the formation of many factions.

The pacifists, who want to live in peace with humanity, and the ruling faction, who want to enslave humanity, are two of the many factions.

However, the former's power was far too weak compared to the latter, and Maris was thus exiled and forced to wander from place to place.

"Do you still have contact with other pureblood vampires?" Mike continued to ask.

Nowadays, pureblood vampires are not only few in number, but they are also very good at hiding, making it difficult for X-Squad's information gathering team to find them.

If Maris hadn't been worried about the safety of Lestat, Mike and his crew would have had a hard time catching him.

“No, I spend most of my time sleeping and haven’t been in contact with other vampires for a long time,” Maris shook his head.

His personality leans more towards that of a "homebody," and he usually finds a place to sleep when he has nothing to do.

They only come out for some fresh air when they're really bored, and at the same time, they do their best to help those in urgent need.

For example, someone like Lestat, if Maris hadn't happened to meet him when he needed help, he might have died from blood loss a hundred years ago.

Will you kill me?

Maris, who felt he had no value to the handsome young man in front of him, finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind.

At the same time, he silently got up and tidied his appearance, seemingly wanting to leave in a more dignified manner.

It's no wonder Maris was so surprised; he hadn't even had time to react before being subdued by the young man in front of him.

He didn't even understand what ability the other party was using.

The immense pressure from this situation was so great that even a thousand years ago, when facing the strongest second-generation vampires, Maris had never felt so powerless.

"Join the King Group, and I'll spare your life." Mike knew the other party had misunderstood, but he didn't explain too much. He chose a more direct approach, wanting to recruit the other party first.

Such a powerful and kind pure-blooded vampire would be perfect for managing the vampire employees in the shoe factory.

Mike had already thought of a job for him: he would start as Van's assistant.

“I’ll join!” Maris immediately gave an affirmative answer.

Although I don't quite understand the intricacies of it all, being alive is better than dying meaninglessly.

It's clear that this count-level pureblood vampire is quite adaptable.

“Great, someone will arrange a job and company benefits for you later.” Mike’s attitude became “friendly” and then he continued, “Now, let’s go to the West End and see what Lestat and Akasha are up to.”

……

"Once we're inside, everyone should follow my lead. I'll find an opportunity to ambush Akasha with everyone..."

In front of the Egyptian Queen's castle in the West End, Lestat gave instructions to the vampires around him about their next course of action.

Since most of the vampires who come here are just a motley crew, they don't need any complicated plans.

On the contrary, a swarm attack strategy is simple and brutal enough to be a good plan for them.

"Reporting, Your Majesty! Lestat has arrived!"

Not long after, the vampire guards at the castle gate brought good news to Queen Akasha.

"Bring him in~" Akasha, sitting on her magnificent throne, smiled slightly, exuding queenly aura with every gesture.

Then, Lestat and his party entered the main hall, led by the gatekeeper.

“Leistart, come up here. Let me take a good look at you~” Akasha smiled and waved, gesturing for her “little lover” to come forward.

Then, under the watchful eyes of numerous vampire guards and the Queen of Egypt in the hall, Lestat, feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the pressure, unconsciously began to step forward.

Just then, a small hand grabbed Lestat's arm.

Jealous Revis, in a moment of mental lapse, didn't realize how dangerous her actions were.

"Who is she?" As expected, Queen Akasha sensed something amiss and asked sharply.

The Egyptian queen, with no smile on her face, exuded an aura that instantly silenced the entire hall.

"She...she is my human friend, and she wants to pledge her allegiance to you..." Lestat didn't know how to cover for the girl, so he could only come up with a lame excuse before the Egyptian queen got even angrier.

Humans naturally possess an unmistakable "fragrance" in the eyes of vampires.

Revis's human identity meant that she was discovered by the Egyptian queen and the vampire guards in the hall as soon as she entered.

At this moment, many of the vampire guards revealed greedy eyes towards Revis.

Without a doubt, at the Queen of Egypt's command, they would rush up and tear the girl to pieces.

"A friend?" A woman's unique sixth sense made Queen Akasha realize that the girl in front of her was her rival in love.

So she gracefully stepped down from the throne and circled around Revis to observe her.

She has an average appearance and figure, but her youthful aura is quite striking...

The Queen of Egypt made her own judgment about the girl in her heart.

Indeed, compared to the stunning and sexy Queen Akasha, Revis, a bookworm who had just graduated from university, didn't have much to offer.

"I don't need weak subordinates, especially since she's human." Queen Akasha, who thought she had the upper hand, stared at Lestat and commanded, "Kill her now, and then we'll go and rule the world together."

Power is a good thing...

With beauty and power at her disposal, the Queen of Egypt did not believe that Lestat would be able to refuse her offer.

However, this vampire queen, who has lived for over a thousand years and whose power is almost at its peak, can control the lives of many people, but she does not understand the hearts of men.

She thought Lestat would like a strong and beautiful woman like herself, but she didn't know that Lestat, who was used to freedom, preferred a "small" woman like Revis, who had a clear temperament and was not aggressive.

In order to stall Queen Akasha, Lestat pretended to go and kill Sirevis under her watchful gaze.

Then, as the vampire queen relaxed, he suddenly bared his fangs and turned to pounce on her.

"It's now!!!"

At the same time, Lestat issued the order to launch a sneak attack.

The hundreds of ragtag vampires who came with him, upon receiving the notification, instantly bared their fangs and pounced on Queen Akasha.

Hundreds of vampires launched a sneak attack simultaneously, creating a spectacular scene.

"Revis, how are you? You weren't scared, were you?" In the chaos, Lestat found the girl standing alone and led her to safety.

Yes, Lestat's earlier charge was a bluff; he secretly slipped away from the battlefield when the other ragtag vampires rushed up.

He completely regarded the other vampires who came with him as his sworn enemies.

However, it was precisely these reckless ragtag vampires who unleashed their formidable fighting power, overwhelming the Egyptian queen with sheer numbers.

All of this happened so suddenly that the vampire guards in the hall didn't even have time to react before Queen Akasha disappeared beneath the many attackers.

Then, some of the vampire guards that Akasha had brought back hesitated for a moment before deciding to go forward and help the queen.

“Listen to me, everyone! Akasha is ruthless and cruel. You won’t get anything good if you work for her. Why don’t you join us in rebelling against her…” Lestat, who had retreated to a safe spot to watch the show, saw that the vampire guards were in a bad situation, so he loudly tried to persuade them to rebel.

In any case, it's a good thing if it can buy some more time for those ragtag vampires attacking Queen Akasha.

However, Lestat had no idea that the hundreds of vampire guards in the hall were also subordinates whom the Queen of Egypt had forcibly brought back through force and coercion.

In reality, these vampires were only subject to the vampire queen's terrifying power, and had little loyalty to the queen herself.

After being swayed by Lestatt's words, many of the guard vampires stopped what they were doing, and a few even wanted to join the ragtag group of vampires.

After all, no one would feel comfortable having an extra powerful "boss" above them for no reason.

Just then, the ragtag vampires who were piled up on top of Queen Akasha suddenly felt a pressure emanating from their souls. Then, as if they had been hit by a heavy blow at the same time, they were all thrown away.

It spilled all over the ground...

Looking at the center of the arena, Queen Akasha looked around at the attackers with a grim expression. Despite having been ambushed by multiple people, her hairstyle remained perfectly intact.

"You crawlers, how dare you offend me! Go to hell!"

Queen Akasha then spoke coldly.

Then, as her gaze fell upon them, the weak, ragtag vampires lying on the ground were all stirred by negative emotions, and were instantly burned to ashes by the inner fire emanating from their hearts.

After an AOE attack, over 90% of this ragtag group of vampires were wiped out.

Only seven or eight ragtag vampires, whose strength reached the viscount level, survived the mental attack.

However, their disheveled appearance suggests that their condition is not very good either.

Queen Akasha's attack was so powerful that it startled the vampire guards in the hall, who quickly abandoned their ulterior motives and pretended to be competent guards.

However, their previous inaction did not escape the eyes of the Egyptian queen.

"I told you, I don't need waste here."

Akasha's cold voice rang out again.

This time, the target was the vampire guards, and the vampire queen's eyes emitted a [petrification] beam.

The vampire guards who were touched by this light, regardless of their strength, were instantly turned into statues.

It has to be said that the second-generation vampire elder's innate abilities are simply unbeatable.

Just as the remaining vampire guards were trembling and awaiting their doom, Lestat jumped out again.

"Haven't you realized yet? Your queen has no intention of letting you go. If you want to live, you'd better take a gamble!"

Meanwhile, Lestat, who had incited the remaining dozens of vampire guards to rebel, also secretly glanced toward the exit of the main hall.

Clearly, he was planning his escape route.

"A web crawler should have the awareness of a web crawler."

On the other side, Queen Akasha, who possessed absolute power, was unconcerned about Lestat's provocation.

She gracefully turned her gaze, turning all the vampire guards who dared to launch a suicidal charge into statues.

"What else do you have to say now?"

After killing all the rebels, Akasha instantly teleported and blocked Lestat's path as he pulled Revis along, preparing to escape.

Immediately, the petrification beam was activated again.

Before Revis, who was being led by Lestat, could even take out the garlic and Bible from her bosom to resist, she was frozen in place.

Meanwhile, the petrification effect slowly spread from the girl's legs to her head.

Without a doubt, this is Queen Akasha deliberately torturing the girl.

"No~"

Seeing yet another beloved girl about to die, Lestat let out a furious roar of resentment.

"This is the punishment you deserve for betraying me."

Seeing Lestat's remorseful and pained expression, Queen Akasha finally revealed a hint of pleasure on her face once again.

Then, she continued with great interest, "If you transform her into a bloodline now, you might be able to save this poor girl. So, what are you going to do?"

Upon hearing the vampire queen's words, Lestat knew he had no choice but to take a gamble to save people.

Having figured this out, he bared his fangs and slowly approached the girl's neck, then closed his eyes and bit down.

Sure enough, after Revis was transformed into a vampire, the petrification effect on her stopped.

However, the symptoms, which had already spread to the waist, did not subside.

Without a doubt, this is Queen Akasha's doing again; she's controlling the petrification effect.

"What exactly do you want?" Feeling deceived, Lestat glared angrily at the vampire queen.

“It’s simple, submit to me,” Akasha said, stretching out her arms. “Come and become my bloodline.”

Yes, when a vampire becomes powerful enough, its blood power can unilaterally convert other vampires into its own bloodline.
