653 A New Generation (1/2)
After building the Kun Wu mountain, Fang Yuan recovered his body and looked in the direction of the Yin-Yang Continent in deep thought.
The seeds that he sowed before were already beginning to bloom and bear fruit at this moment.
In one area of the castle.
Dracula's complexion was cold as he looked at the surrounding clan elders.
”Earl Smith, Earl Black River, Earl Floren… All of you are my blood relatives and the elders of the Blood Race…”
He seemed older than before, and he said with a somber demeanor, ”I've called for the presence of all of you today in order to lay your verdict on a traitor of the Blood Race! Catherine!”
Accompanied by applause, a royal lady vampire was escorted to the scene, her hair was in a mess, and a large blood stain was on her skirt's hemline.
”Catherine, my heart hurts, for you are my most favorite female descendant…”
Dracula painfully said, ”However, you've committed an unforgivable crime. You've fallen in love with a werewolf and conceived an offspring with it!”
The expressions of many of the Blood Race elders remained unchanged. Evidently, they had received the news early on.
However, the other listeners inadvertently started discussing about it and made a lot of noise.
”Also… You are suspected of revealing confidential information to the werewolf Sisay, causing the werewolf guerrilla forces to silently attack numerous of our large-scale oil mines and releasing over twenty thousand slaves!”
Dracula looked down. ”Regarding these accusations, do you have anything you want to deny?”
Catherine shook her head, stupefied.
”As the Grand Duke of the Blood Race, I have no choice but to make a painful decision—to punish Catherine with… punishment by fire!” Dracula painfully said.
”I second it!”
”I second it!”
A few of the elders looked each other in the eye and all nodded their heads.
”Burn her!”
”Burn this woman without any sense of shame!”
The emotions of the vampires outside were already running high.
They threw all the reasons why they were losing in the recent wars against the werewolves onto this woman.
Very soon, a fire punishment post was constructed, and Catherine was sealed and tied up on top of it.
”This is your last chance!”
Dracula's eyes released a blood-red glare. ”Tell me… where that bastard is, find him, and kill him. I will absolve you of your fire punishment and change it to life imprisonment.”
”Definitely… not… possible!”
The countess let out a small grin and said resolutely.
”Then…..”
Dracula raised his chin and snapped his fingers.
Whoosh!
A golden flame instantly billowed and ascended, greedily swallowing up the bound female vampire.
”Ah!”
A sad and shrill cry rang out. Regardless of whether it was a countess who was proficient with Blood magic, after being sealed, she could only struggle and scream inside the burning flames before finally turning into ashes.
Nearly at the same time, in an area within the large mountains, inside the depths of the Black Forest.
A teenager's entire body trembled with fear as he tumbled and crawled. ”Mother…”
”Adam, are you having nightmares again?”
Sisay walked in.
At this moment, the man, who was originally a teenage werewolf, had already grown into a brave warrior with his whole body covered in intertwining scars that were all proof of his glory.
”That's right…”
Adam was sweating as he panted heavily. He looked around at the simple and crude environment and went silent again.
He'll dream about his childhood life in the castle many times, those delicacies, beautiful clothes, and that gentle silhouette.
Unfortunately, after one of the wars, he had no choice but to follow his father and break out of that place.
However, from that moment onwards, he seemed to fall into hell.
He couldn't withstand the dirty smell of the werewolves, he was even more intolerable towards the environment in the large mountains, and he was even easily injured—This is because he was neither a werewolf nor a vampire! He's pitifully weak!
Being the descendant of both the werewolves and vampires, he only had the state of a human and had no other transformation abilities.
It was as if the robust body of a Werewolf had mutually negated the magical abilities of the Blood Race.
Without a doubt, this outlier was shunned everywhere he went—even though he had a powerful father such as Sisay!
”Don't think too much. We'll launch an attack tomorrow and destroy another oil mine of the Blood Race. You just need to protect yourself.”
Sisay went silent for a moment before finally speaking.
In reality, even this request was a little too much for Adam.
Sisay was even afraid that those werewolves would become so famished that they would indiscriminately eat him.
To survive in this cruel world, being weak is an original sin!
”I want… to obtain power!”
