63 Chapter 63: nightmare (1/2)

A familiar sight entered into Caesar's eyes, he was standing on a square platform, in front of him were four separate paths that lead through the endless darkness.

Caesar squinted his eyes slightly, ”what is the trigger that causes this dream?” he whispered out loud.

Caesar stepped forward and approached the four roads, they each had a different color… from left to right they were red, black, white, and grey respectively.

Caesar stroked his chin in contemplation, ”were these in the same order as last time?” he thought to himself slightly intrigued.

The plaques that were in front of each path when Caesar last had this dream were gone, only the roads were left.

Suddenly a wretched voice entered into Caesar's ears, ”the road you pick will mold you into what it represents”

Caesar looked over his shoulder to see who or what was talking, contrary to his expectations, all he could see was the endless darkness behind him.

”Haha, we don't exist… you can't see us” that same wretched voice exclaimed from the darkness.

”Tsk”

Caesar clicked his tongue in displeasure and shifted his attention back towards the four paths, ”If my guess is correct, these four paths represent the four vampire progenitors” he voiced his thoughts audibly hoping for a reaction from the 'ghost'.

Unfortunately, the 'ghost' had stopped talking and didn't give Caesar any clues… Caesar's lips curled and he walked forward.

He did not walk towards the four paths that lead through the darkness, but the darkness itself.

”I refuse to walk the same path that those before me have already treaded, I will forge my own path,” Caesar said in an overbearing tone.

*step*

*step*

He slowly walked towards the darkness without hesitation, his steps did not stutter but instead, they carried unrivaled resolution and steadiness.

Caesar soon reached the edge of the platform he was standing on, he took one more step forward and entered the unfathomable darkness.

He closed his eyes and marched onward, ”humans innately fear the unknown, however, I want to explore it” he said quietly.

”Hehe, a path that has not been walked before… interesting, I wonder, will you be the one to help destroy the world or save it?” the wretched voice laughed loudly.

Caesar paid close attention to the voice of the 'ghost', he wanted to find more clues about what the purpose of this dream was.

Inside the darkness, Caesar just kept walking straight… Nothing stopped him and he just silently kept moving forward.

15 minutes… 30 minutes… 60 minutes…

Caesar walked for an indistinct amount of time, he had contemplated just stopping many times but he wanted to see what was at the end… if there was an end.

”How entertaining, the first progenitor had the ultimate magic, the second had the ultimate body, the third had the ultimate mind, and the fourth had the ultimate speed” The wretched voice entered into Caesar's ears once again.

”Perhaps, you who treads through the unknown will have the ultimate eye… HAHAHA” loud laughter resounded shaking the area.

Caesar furrowed his brows, ”perhaps my previous selection of blood demon had influenced my decision of walking through the darkness?” Caesar couldn't help but wonder.

Caesar felt as though the ground below him was shaking, the sky above him was cracking and the darkness was slowly disappearing.

”HAHAHA, YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOUR PATH… I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU BECOME” the wretched voice practically screamed and Caesar felt as though he fell through the ground.

”Hey, wake up!” A sweet and familiar feminine voice invaded Caesar's ears.

Caesar 's eyelids twitched in irritation, he slowly lifted his upper body and massaged his forehead with the palm of his hands.

He slowly opened his eyes and a worried Ahri was staring straight at him…

”Are you okay? You were sweating heavily in your sleep” she asked in a concerned tone.

Caesar pulled his bangs of hair covering his face back and flashed a smile towards Ahri, ”I' am fine, thank you for worrying about me” Caesar said soothingly.

Caesar looked at her unconvinced expression and chuckled softly, ”it was merely a nightmare, nothing is wrong with me”

”Mmhmm” Ahri hummed in doubt and got off the bed, ”Joe and Edward have already left to purchase supplies, you slept through morning… It is already noon” She said mockingly as if to call Caesar out on his lie.

Caesar got out of bed and took out a black suit from his spatial ring, ”I am not lying, it was a long nightmare” Caesar said with a wry smile plastered on his face.

Ahri still had some traces of doubt in her eyes but she still believed Caesar, ”I don't think you're telling me the full story, but I'll let you slide this time around”

Caesar finished dressing in his black suit and put on a pair of white gloves, he grabbed a brush and sat down in front of the mirror… he groomed himself for a few minutes and styled his hair.

Ahri waiting by his side looking at him with a sly grin, ”the men in my clan look down on other men that groom themselves so finely... You're going to be looked down upon when we arrive at my home haha” she laughed gleefully.

Caesar sat the brush on the table and stood up from his chair, his height towered over Ahri as he grabbed her gently and brought her into his embrace.

”Men who do not groom themselves are inconsiderate to their partner, personally, I detest dirty things” Caesar whispered into her ear.

”It's good that I pride myself in keeping clean then, I also dislike ditty things” Ahri replied back with a sly smirk.

Caesar loosened his grip on Ahri and lifted her chin with his index finger, he looked into her eyes deeply and pecked her on the lips.

”Since both Edward and Joe are out getting the supplies, how about we go on a date to somewhere nice?” he asked curiously.

”A date?” Ahri tilted her head in confusion.
