“Where does this staircase lead to?” Mike asked with a confused expression.
“I will explain everything, for now… Please follow me,” Derein spoke as she continued to go down, and Mike followed her.
“So, why didn’t you write the letter to master?” Mike asked.
“I did… He never answered. That’s why I had to write it to you,” Derein replied.
“Yeah, he is really busy taking over the Elven Kingdom. Today is the day; he is finally going to take over the whole kingdom by replacing the Queen,” Mike explained.
“That’s good,” Derein replied with a straight face.
“I thought you would be more happy after listening to this… Wasn’t this your dream from the start?” Mike asked.
“Sir Mike, at this moment… My own kingdom is on the line, and I don’t have anyone to protect it,” Derein spoke as she looked at Mike with a very serious expression.
Although Mike didn’t understand what was going on at the moment, he thought it was best to keep his mouth shut and just follow her for now.
After walking down the stairs for about 12 minutes, both of them finally reached in front of a highly forged gate made out of Travertine.
Knock-knock-Knock Knock-knock Knock Knock-knock-Knock
Derein knocked on the door with a weird knocking pattern.
Click
Suddenly, the door opened up, and both of them entered inside the room.
As soon as Mike entered the room, he noticed that the room wasn’t a normal room… It was a lab.
In the middle of the lab was a thick tube filled with yellow liquid, and inside that tube was floating a half-dead body of Arthur.
The tube was connected to 21 huge mana stones, and inside the room were five healers trying to keep Arthur alive.
“Is that King Arthur?” Mike asked with a confused expression.
“Yes… He is Arthur. Look what those bastards did to him,” Derein spoke as she walked up to Arthur and touched the tube from outside.
“Who did this to him?” Mike asked with a shocked expression.
“He was on the Borders of the Dragon Kingdom, and suddenly a fight broke out. Every single soldier from their side tried to kill Arthur, and when they couldn’t kill him, they tried to burn him alive.
Arthur lost half of his body in that process; the healers tried to heal him immediately, but the burns on his body were very deep, and the fire that he was burned with is made out of negative mana.
Now, neither the healers nor the healing potions can heal him,” Derein spoke.
“So, why is he inside that tube?” Mike asked.
“Although we can’t heal him, we can slow the process of his death, and that’s why I asked Anon to come as soon as possible, but he didn’t reply to letters, and that’s why I had to call you here.
Please, Mike… Convince Anon to come here and heal Arthur. I will do anything for him in return. Please, Mike,” Derein spoke as she started crying in front of Mike.
“H-Hey… Keep yourself calm. I-I will inform master about this immediately,” Mike spoke as he immediately used his spell to teleport from the room to the outside of the castle.
‘I wish I had a spell that could teleport me to a more faraway distance.’ Mike thought as he started running back to the Elven Kingdom.
As Mike was running towards the Elven Kingdom, he encountered something unusual.
Six dragon warriors in the middle of the forest, and they are bullying a family of wild vampires.
Wild vampires live in the forests and they usually live near demon hidings. These vampires also know everything about herbs and the forest fruits.
“Oi, tell us… Bitch. Tell us, where is the demon hiding or we will kill all of you,” one of the dragon soldiers spoke as he pointed his spear towards the male vampire.
The male vampire immediately hid the rest of his family behind him and started growling towards the Dragon soldiers.
He had two small daughters and one wife.
Grrrrrrrrr
“Ha… Look at this fucker. Growling at me like a dog…” one of the soldiers spoke as he kicked the male vampire in his face and broke his skull immediately.
“Aahhhhh… Dear. Please don’t hit my husband… Please Sir, We don’t know any-”
Slap
“Shut the fuck up, bitch… We will talk to you when it’s your turn to talk, you understand?” another soldier spoke as he slapped the female vampire.
“H-Hey… D-Don’t you dare… Hit my mother.” The daughter vampire spoke up as she walked up front to protect her mother from the dragon soldiers.
“Look at this fucking shit… She thinks she can stop me from hitting her family…. Let me teach you something kid. Nothing-” Before the dragon soldier could’ve killed the Vampire kid, a hand stopped his spear.
“Hmm…? Who the fuck are you?” The dragon soldier asked with a confused expression.
“I am a Vampire…” Mike said as he broke the spear with one hand.
“A Royal Vampire? What do you want?” The leader of dragon soldiers asked.
“Why are you beating these people?” Mike asked with an angry expression.
“Well, I am Volkov… The 3rd Commander of the Immortal Dragon Army, and I can do anything I want. If you have a problem, then leave or die.” Volkov said as he hit Mike with the big hammer that he was holding in his hands.
Thud
Mike went flying and crashed down into a tree.
“Yes, he is dead after that.” One of them spoke as he looked at Mike’s broken body.
Crack
Crack
….
“Fuck… That thing is heavy.” Mike spoke as he stood up from the ground, and his body got healed back to normal.
“What the fuck ? He is alive ? Well, can’t say I wasn’t expecting that from a vampire.” A dragon soldier spoke.
“Well, if you want to die so bad… Why don’t I take my weapons out ?” Mike spoke with a smile.
20 minutes later of fighting….
Mike killed 3 of them and got beaten up preety brutally… At last, he had no other choice as he went ahead and used his teleportation spell to run away from the place with the vampire family.
After that he came back to the Elven Kingdom.
