Chapter 169: Preparing for the worst (2/2)

”I heard you reached the underworld, had an encounter, and still made it out alive. Can you show me this army you speak of?” the Vladimir family patriarch asked politely and Lucien nodded and took a few steps forward, reaching the central spaced area of the room. At that point, Lucien's eyes turned blood red as blood began running down his cheeks from his eyes and his aura turned black, taking the shape of a massive skull above his head. His shadow expanded rapidly, filling the whole room in a matter of seconds, and in the next second, the entire grand hall was turned black, choking with demonic presence! His original tattoo soon vanished and was replaced with countless black demonic beasts tattoos moving rapidly on his skin, giving him an even spookier look.

”Rise!” Lucien said with a tone overlapping countless screams and cries!

Whoosh!

At that moment, countless demonic beasts began surging out of his shadow up to the point that even the entire hall was congested due to this.

”Return!” Lucien said coldly and under his order, the countless demonic beasts sank into his shadow and vanished as if they never existed.

At this point, Lucien has returned to normal and he was using white clothe to wipe the blood on his eyes and cheek before turning his attention to the Vladimir clan head.

”Are you satisfied?” Lucien asked coldly and the man nodded with an astonished look on his face. He looked like a little kid getting his favorite toy from his parents!

”How many of those creatures can you all out” the Vladimir clan head asked respectfully.

”About a thousand or more… I haven't really taken the time to count them all so I only have a general idea!” Lucien answered indifferently but then something that's stunned even him happened.

Bam!

Everyone watched in shock as the Vladimir clan head fell on his knees with his fists cupped and his head bowed. His body shivered with excitement leaving many stunned and wondering why he would bow to a lesser noble!

”Lord imperial knight! The Vladimir family wishes to join your forces in the upcoming war! Please accept my humble request!” The man said with so much power and passion even Lucien felt awkward!

He could remember the stories about the Lightborn and Vladimir clans who have never seen eye to eye. The Vladimir family has always been interested in dark arts of all kinds… To hear that someone managed to go to the underworld, encountering the god of death, and escaped. Lucien soon realized he is some sort of celebrity in the eyes of everyone from this clan, making him feel a slight headache brewing since he didn't know how this will affect his relationship with the Lightborn family.

”What do you think old man?” Lucien asked casually and Kalus simply laughed at his question.

”If you can find a way to coexist with humans and treat them equally… Dealing with this shouldn't be a problem for us” Klaus replied calmly.
