How to Live As the Vampire Lord

Chapter 214

Why is she so late? Prince Localope muttered impatiently with a frown.

It will be fine. That spirit, King God whatever it was, she has formed a contract with the duke, right? Moreover, she has recently evolved as well. She will return soon, Vizak whispered softly in the language of the empire. However, the princes frown was still there.

Hmm? Mysterious energy detected, Princess Lilisain muttered before jerking her head. She had been looking in the direction where Mirian had disappeared.

??? Everyones gaze turned as well. Something strange was definitely happening within the luggage piled up in one corner of the guards quarter. The heap of baggage began to shake as if there was an earthquake.

Whats going on?

Is it magic?

The knights pulled out their swords. Suddenly, the pile of luggage collapsed in all directions with a loud bang. With it, something black made its appearance.

What?

T-thats

Both the princess, the prince, and his entourage became wide-eyed upon seeing the objects. Eugenes armor and spear were levitating in the air after pushing apart the other luggage. Moreover, the armor wasnt Eugenes original plate armor but rather the heirloom of the Batla Duchy. It had always been in a box.

Whats going on?! The knights were befuddled by the sudden situation.

The demonic armor Meanwhile, Princess Lilisain mumbled in disbelief. Unlike Prince Localope and his knights, Princess Lilisain recognized the armor. After all, it had been presented to Eugene as a gift from the royal family of Eland.

Wooong Wooong

The armor and the spear hummed, then suddenly flew out the window at breakneck speed. The prince and his knights could do nothing but watch the scene play out with confusion.

Kieeeeehk! I brought the knights! Theyre going to enter through the gates soon! Mirian exclaimed after flying in through the window where the armor and the spear had escaped through.

Oh! Great job!

Everyone was delighted to hear Mirians words. They were slightly bothered that they were employing a rather dishonorable strategy, but what was done was done.

Prince Localope turned to his knights and spoke sternly, You must never let Marens knights know that Sir Eugene had turned into a monster.

Understood, Your Highness. The knights nodded obediently. They knew well why Eugene had only brought along those familiar with vampires.

As soon as the knights enter, let us chase after the monster, or rather, Sir Eugene, Princess, Prince Localope said.

Aaah, indeed, such is my obligation, Princess Lilisain answered. Prince Localope unsheathed his own blade in response, thinking that he would never become accustomed to the elven princess peculiar way of speaking.

***

I want to kill.

I want to split open that thick neck and consume all the blood.

Ah, there wont be any blood since its undead.

Then Ill just rip it apart to shreds.

And then Ill find other living things and kill them over and over again.

Eugene grinned as an intense, murderous intent completely dominated his mind. His eyes had become colored in an intense hue of crimson, and the muscles in his body had become several times larger than usual. Eugene felt an indescribable vitality flowing through his body as he rushed at the undead twin-headed ogre like a beast. He had become several times faster than before, and the twin-headed ogre couldnt even react properly, let alone observe Eugenes movement.

Craaack! Crack!

With every swing and slash of the bloodstained claw, the monsters muscles were torn and burst open. However, as a creature that had been revived by magic, the undead monsters body was immediately restored by the evil energy.

This would never endthe only way to completely subjugate the monster was to find its master, the wizard. However, Eugenes mind was filled with nothing but the intent to kill. His mind was clouded, and he couldnt think of finding the wizard. All he wanted was to destroy the annoying undead in front of him.

Huuuuuungh!!!

Eugene went behind the roaring ogre and wrapped one of his arms around the monsters neck.

Craaack!

Eugenes arm had become several times thicker, so it crushed the ogres neck without any problem. However, the ogre had two heads, and the remaining head turned to Eugene as he crushed the other. The ogres thick hand grabbed one of Eugenes legs.

Boom!

A roar resounded as the ogre flung Eugene straight to the ground. However, vampires were insensitive to pain, and after transforming into a Berserker, Eugene couldnt feel pain anymore.

Eugenes limbs were strangely bent, and his bones were sticking out. It was a truly grotesque sight.

Craaack! Crack!

However, the crimson Fear instantly permeated the injured areas like blood and immediately recovered Eugenes body to its original state.

Kyaaah

Eugenes blood vessels bulged, which made him look very evil. He slashed with his claws as he charged at the ogre.

He ripped, crushed, and sliced.

The vampire Berserker was no longer a man but a demon. He continued to ravage the ogres body and limbs, but the evil energy endlessly surged and continued to restore the undead monsters body.

However, Eugene was still engulfed by a primitive form of madness. He couldnt make any rational judgment as he continued with his repetitive actions.

More! More! More!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

It was as if another ego was in control of Eugenes body right now, and it didnt matter if Eugenes body was destroyed. It only pushed Eugene to his limits for the simple goal of slaughter and destruction. It was almost as if it was hoping for Eugenes ruin rather than the twin-headed ogres.

Eugene had no idea, but those who had previously used the Berserker ability ended up dying before they stopped being a Berserker. The user of the ability would simply become a medium and scapegoat for the madness within it. They would continue to vent the abilitys murderous will and madness until the end of their lives.

Attack! Only attack!

Eugene performed simple, indiscriminate attacks while disregarding his own injuries. The twin-headed ogre swung its large axe toward Eugene.

Boom!

The blow contained enough power to decimate a boulder. Eugene was sent flying away, and he crashed through a tree trunk before falling to the ground. However, he stood up once again as if a puppeteer was controlling his limbs with invisible threads.

Repeating his current actions would be fruitless, but he was incapable of coming to such a conclusion. Even though his Fear was starting to dim, his madness would continue to drive him to stand up and blindly rush at the enemy. After all, that was the only thought dominating his mind.

However

Kyaaaaaahhhhhk!

A bloodcurdling wail from afar reverberated throughout the forest. Simultaneously, the ogres evil energy and Eugenes madness were suppressed for a short moment.

Fwooooooosh!

The bundle of armor quickly flew and momentarily disassembled itself before coming together on Eugenes figure. No, it was more appropriate to say that the pieces became glued to Eugenes body.

Craaack!

In a blink of an eye, root-like protrusions emerged from the inside of the armor and stabbed into Eugenes body. The protrusions pierced straight through Black Scales.

Now, Eugenes body and the armor were connected as one.

Kuaaaagh!

Eugene let out a shriek. Simultaneously, his dark crimson eyes regained their usual redness. He had recovered his sanity, as the madness was driven away.

Kyaaaaaahh!

Madarazika circled Eugene while emitting a cry of joy before settling in Eugenes grasp.

Fwoosh!

The waves of Fear swirling around Eugenes body gathered around the spear and transformed into a red flame. Eugene immediately threw the spear, and the flames wrapped around the weapon before gathering at one point to form a triangle.

Kwarararara!

The spear flew through the air as the coral-blood-colored flaming wings pierced the twin-headed ogres sternum. Then, the spear crackled with red sparks as it disappeared into the monsters body as if the undead monster had simply absorbed it.

It was then

Huuuuunnnng!!!

The twin-headed ogres entire body became engulfed in flames.

***

Clang!

The stick swirling with crimson evil energy shattered into pieces like glass.

Kuaaagh!

Soon after, blood poured out like a waterfall from the wizards mouth. The coral liquid continued to flowas if all the blood was being drained from the wizards body. A small pool of blood formed on top of the spire where the wizard stood.

Kuuagh! Kuah

The wizards red eyes had been glowing with an evil light. However, the light gradually faded, and his eyes turned bright yellow. The wizard slumped to the ground in exhaustion, and then he began to crawl with all his might.

After some time, he reached the bolted door near the spires steps and knocked.

T-the door Open the door.

Master Dolgwen! Two guards hurriedly opened the door before rushing in to help the wizard.

A tiny, red light glimmered in the eyes hidden beneath the hood.

Shuack!

Kuaagh!

Argh!

A rose-colored dagger lacerated the soldiers throats, and blood gushed out from the wounds and soaked the inside of the wizards robe and hood.

Huaah!

The wizard ravaged the soldiers corpses, and he placed his lips on their necks before sucking on their blood like a beast. The wizard raised his head after feeding for a short whilehis yellow eyes had returned to their original color of red.

The wizard looked down at the two corpses with dissatisfaction, and then he began to move down the spire.

To think that its him I cant believe its him the wizard muttered in a hoarse voice.

And he has almost regained all of his powers? How? Did he break his covenant? the wizard continued to mutter in apprehension. After exiting the spire, the wizard began to sprint in a direction.

He was rushing toward the capitals cathedral.

***

Follow me!

Uwaaaahh!!!

A large group of knights rushed up the hill with Madrica in the lead, and the capitals guards hurriedly ran after them.

!

Madricas eyes became filled with shock when he saw the hunting grounds state of ruin. The once-green fields had become completely covered with black and gray ash, and only the clothes and ornaments strewed across the ground proved the expired existence of humans.

A two-headed monster could be seen kneeling in the middle of the destruction, and next to it was a spear embedded in the ground, as well as a figure lying beside it.

T-thats?!

Everyone immediately recognized the strange spear.

S-siiirrr!

Your Excellency!

Mirian and Princess Lilisain rushed forward.

Your Excellency! Your Excellency Batla! Princess Lilisain cried out as she jumped off her horse and embraced Eugenes unmoving figure.

Sir! Hing! Sir!

Your Excellency! Please wake up, Your Excellency! Princess Lilisain attempted to take off Eugenes helmet as tears and snot soaked her pretty face. However, the helmet wouldnt budge, and the princess even struggled to raise Eugenes visor.

Ah! she exclaimed. Eugenes face, which was usually white, was slowly turning blue.

Huaaaang! Sir Princess! What do we do with him? Huaaang! Kieeeng! Mirian cried desperately. She wasnt just crying; tears were literally pouring out of her.

Princess Lilisain glanced at Mirian and bit her lips. Then, she took out a dagger and slit her hand without hesitation.

Princess! The elven knights called out with shock after belatedly recognizing what she was about to do. However, Princess Lilisain let a drop of her blood soak Eugenes blue lips without hesitation.

The blood of Elands pure-blooded elf soaked Eugenes lips red. Surprisingly, the blood was sucked into his mouth as if it had melted upon contact.

Keugh Princess Lilisain groaned softly as she squeezed her palm. She placed her hand on Eugenes mouth, and the blood was continuously being sucked into Eugenes mouth.

Kuaaaaagh! Soon, Eugene opened his eyes with a loud roar.

Sir!

Aaahh! Your Excellency!

Eugenes eyes regained their focus, and he saw Mirian and Princess Lilisain.

He asked, What about the monster? What happened to the undead ogre?

It has completely stopped! Its dead, Princess Lilisain replied.

I see, Eugene said after briefly staring at Princess Lilisains tear-streaked face.

He clenched his fists several times before speaking, Why am I so full of energy?

The heirloom of the Batla Duchy had flown through the air and autonomously wrapped itself around Eugenes body. Then, he remembered instinctively throwing Madarazika at the monster. Unfortunately, he absolutely had no recollection of what happened prior to and post the short scene. It felt as if the memories of those moments had been deleted.

T-thats Princess Lilisain muttered with a sudden blush.

One of the elven knights lamented and said, Your Excellency has absorbed the pure blood of Elands royalty.

?

Eugene stared blankly as if he was saying, so what?

Princess Lilisain explained in a low voice, A relationship of blood. Thus, both my blood and mana belongs to Your Excellency now.

huh?

W-well, I-I can no longer get married.

Kieeeeeeeehh?!
