Chapter 883 - The original vampires (1/2)

There was only one known vampire settlement where all the thirteen families lived together. They were condensed to one area because this was where all the resources were and where all the leaders were gathered. Similar to a human city. It made it easier for family leaders in a way to keep an eye on them and control them.

If one was to leave the settlement, they could only do so under strict rules, this was all because the vampires wish to keep themselves a secret.

On the surface, and to the people it would appear as if they were one unit working together. However, those higher up knew there was more of a divide than others thought between the thirteen families.

Even in the past, the special fourteenth family and split off and made their own settlement, something many vampires didn't know about today.

Outside of the settlement, the planet was mostly covered in forest and mountains, and here there were beasts just like any other planet. Once in a while, there would also be wild familiars that had hoped over to their world. They seemed to be attracted to the vampire's strange ways, as wherever they would be, the familiars seemed to turn up as well.

The planet was large, so it was hard for them to keep track of everything that was on it, and this was how quite a distance away, the Bloodsuckers were able to build their base without the vampires knowing about it for years.

Still, there was one thing lacking on the planet for the vampires and the Bloodsuckers to live, and that was blood. The vampire settlement had that, while the Bloodsuckers did not. Seeing the cave full of blood packs and how long the Bloodsuckers were able to survive, Silver knew someone was working with them. She just didn't know how big that person was, or how deep it ran on for.

Right now, in the middle of the forest, between the vampire settlement and the Bloodsucker base. Silver, Fex, Nate and Leo were standing back to back surrounded by bloodsuckers when one man walked out, one Silver recognised.

When a vampire was growing up in school, they would learn of the vampire's history. Although a lot of it was altered, they all did learn of one thing. How the vampires originally started, with the thirteen original vampires. This was where the thirteen families came from.

Of course, during their time, there was no technology to take a photo of them as such, so the only references they had were paintings and drawings, but Silver was sure of it, based on what Leo had told her about the man's aura she was sure of it, because the man looked almost identical to this paintings, not changing in the slightest.

”I pay my respect to the Eighth original vampire leader.” Silver said, putting one of her hands on the floor and bowing her head down.

”This place has changed too much, do vampires not even know our names anymore? All of you were born or turned by us originally, and everyone seems to have forgotten that. She was right; things have changed.” The vampire said, as he lifted his hand and swung it back.

”You shall remember my name is Remus Snacker!” Shouting out these words, they seemed so powerful that Silver could feel her body shaking, and soon after, his hand swung back out, heading straight towards her.

She could feel that Remus, the original, was about to do something to her, but she didn't know what to do. These were the originals, should she move, or take the hit, but wasn't this original working with the Bloodsuckers?

Her mind was mixed with too many thoughts. She was just frozen in place.

”Silver!” Fex shouted, as he could see the hand moving towards her face, but he was unable to move fast enough. He didn't know why but seeing her in danger, he had to urge to protect her.

However, one person was fast enough, pulling out a dark red sword from his sheave, and he clashed with the hand coming out towards him. The hand didn't swing back, but it stopped mid-air.

The original hadn't used any hardened blood, but the original's arm seemed fine, until a small cut could be seen, and soon Remus pulled his hand away.

On this journey, Leo had brought with him two swords. Leo was not a dual swordsman, so he could only use one sword at a time. This was his speciality. The reason he carried two, was because before leaving, he had grabbed a sword created by Alex.

This sword, made with legendary tier crystals, was far stronger than his last one, there were no active skills, but it was powerful, and it was perfect in Leo's hands. Which was why, it was even more frightening that the man in front of him only received a single scratch from his strike.

'No wonder vampires never felt the need to use beast weapons. If this is how they originally started, did vampires weaken with time?' Leo wondered.

With Remus's other arm free, using blood control, he was able to take out parts of the infected blood and throw it onto the ground.
