Book 2: Chapter 7 (1/9)

“That is enough!” An Ancient Vampire shouted. “I don’t care who you are. The fact that you are with Urien Hyde, the banished one, is enough reason for us to kill you. Comrades, execute them both!”

Kain casted [Time Slow], a Saint-tier Black Spell that he had created. Kain took the idea from Iris's ability to freeze the time when she appeared to him during the First-tier. Unlike Iris's ability, Kain's [Time Slow] can only temporarily slow down the time instead of completely freezing it. Moreover, Kain can't use his physical power or cast any other spell while his [Time Slow] is being activated.

While the time is slowed, Kain quickly unlocked the Storage Ring then grasped for the Magical Robe embedded with Six Magical Blood Stones, Six Magical Black Stones, and Six Magical Conjuration Stones that was awarded to him by Iris after completing the Second-tier of Timeless Dungeon. "Ever since receiving this Magical Robe, I have never used it once." Kain thought to himself as he put the Magical Robe on. He quickly tapped into the Magical Blood Stones of the robe using the [Infused Blood] spell. These six Magical Blood Stones were fully charged when the robe was given to him and Kain didn't intend to use it until his life was in danger. Today he will be facing an opponent that could be much stronger than him, he had no other choice but to put on this Magical Robe.

Kain deactivated [Time Slow], sighed lightly while looking at Urien, and said, “I really wanted them to kill you for pushing me to finish this quest early. You should have given me two hundred fifty thousand more (250,000) years as I have asked for in the beginning. Well, since those weaklings want to die that bad, I will grant them their wishes.”

As the Vampires were swarming Kain and Urien, Kain casted [Puppeteer] to shoot out a hundred black strings from his hands flying toward and connected to the Ancient Vampires’ heads to brainwash and control all of them. Kain then commanded the Ancient Vampires to slain the two thousand vampires as Urien opened his eyes widely to observe in astonishment. Kain could have controlled all the vampires as well but they are too weak and weren’t worth it for him to waste his energy. Less than twenty minutes later, all the vampires surrounding Kain and Urien were killed by the Ancient Vampires controlled by Kain’s [Puppeteer] spell. Kain confidently walked deeper into the castle while having protection from the Ancient Vampires. Every time Kain sees another Ancient Vampires flying toward him with hostile intention, Kain immediately controls them using [Puppeteer] spell. But when being encountered by the normal vampires, Kain gave commands for his Ancient Vampires to kill them all.

Urien and Jael followed Kain as he continued walking deeper into the castle. Walking into an empty Throne Room, Kain located and sat on the Emperor’s Throne Chair as he yelled out loud, “Where is the Vampire Emperor at!? You, you, and you. Y’all go find your Emperor and let him know that a very powerful Vampire Lord from Toria Continents is here to kill him.” Kain pointed at three Ancient Vampires as he gave out the commands.

Roughly five minutes later, a powerful kick broke down the Throne Room’s doors. A handsome man even taller compared to Urien walked in and said, “Damn you, maggot! Get down from my throne, now!”

Kain looked at Urien, then looked at Jael before turning his gaze toward that man and said, “Who the hell are you? Introduce yourself, minor maggot!”

“I am Xenos Heliot, the Vampire Emperor of this world. My servants said you are a Vampire Lord from Toria Continents. What is your name, lesser minor maggot?”

“My name is Kain Bersk. I didn’t hear your name clearly? Was it Vampire Emperor Almost Idiot?”

“Xenos Heliot!”

“Almost Idiot?”

Xenos heard from the Ancient Vampires that Kain was here to kill him. Even so, Xenos still wanted to ask for Kain’s true intention about why he would want to kill him. But he could no longer hold his anger when Kain repeatedly said his name wrong intentionally. Xenos flexed his big vampire wings as he flew toward Kain at full speed and attempted to choke him using [Vampiric Clench]. What Xenos didn’t expect was nearly three hundred Ancient Vampires that were supposed to serve him blocked his path instead of assisting him.

Xenos screamed, “What are you guys doing!?”

Kain answered for them, “Almost Idiot, they no longer serve you, but serve me for I am their true Lord. Instead of killing you on the spot, I will give you a chance. Return Lady Belinda Argent back to Urien Hyde and I will allow you to die peacefully.”

“Urien Hyde? It doesn’t matter how much Belinda begged this time, I will definitely kill you.” Xenos flew up higher and saw Urien was standing next to Kain’s left hand. He then turned his gaze toward the Vampire Noble standing on Kain’s right hand and asked, “Are you betraying me too, Jael Morelock?”

Jael bowed in respect as he said, “No, dear Emperor Heliot. After hearing they want to kill you, I have captured them both and brought them in front of you to await your judgment.”

“Captured?” Xenos asked in a confused tone.

“Yes, they volunteered to be captured that was why I didn’t tie them up.” Jael answered.

“Haha… I understand now. You were mocking me.”

“I wouldn’t dare to, Emperor,” Jael said.

“Then kill him and I will believe you.”

“I rather not.”

“How come?”

“Because I don’t take orders from a dead Vampire Emperor.” Jael stood straight and smiled while answering Xenos.

“Good! All of you here will die today then!” Xenos screamed out loud as he started attacking the Ancient Vampires that were blocking his path.

Kain observed Xenos's fighting style and thought to himself, “His physical strength is truly on par compared to an Eleventh Stage Saint Warrior from Toria Continents. Other than that there is nothing special about him so far. If using [Vampire Emperor Transmutation] can turn me into such a useless Vampire Emperor, then I rather choose [Devil Anatomy] instead. Or should I choose to unlock Necromancy Magic?”

By the time Kain finished thinking, he looked up and saw Xenos had already appeared in front of him as he casted [Enclosing] spell locking Kain inside a circular magical barrier. “Disrespecting someone stronger than you will cost you your life, Kain Bersk.”

Kain activated [Vampire Lord Transmutation] combined with [Demon Anatomy V] and [Abyssal Flesh] to transform himself into a Flesh Demon Vampire Lord having two pairs of wings including demon wings and vampire wings on his back. For the choice of weapon, Kain chooses a Silver Flaming Scythe. After spinning the Silver Flaming Scythe several times, Kain nodded his head in satisfaction and said, “I should be the one telling you that. Disrespecting someone stronger than you will cost you your life, Almost Idiot.”
