Chapter 182: Vampire King in Demon Realm?
The Vampire King noticed the blood outside the Valley of Wandering Soul, which had fallen when the injured Rale had come out of the valley.
He recognized that blood color as the blood of the Demons, which made him frown.
"The Demons were here?" he muttered in confusion.
He could see that the blood belonged to Demons, but he couldn’t determine when this blood had fallen here since the Demon Blood dried up really fast.
It was possible that it fell here years ago and it was also possible that it fell a few days ago.
Vampire King stepped inside the Valley of Wandering Souls.
As soon as he stepped inside, thousands of Spectres came flying towards him.
The Spectres were more attracted to the Undeads, which was why they had targeted Vampire General Viden more than they targeted Ryder and the others. Still, even amongst the Undeads, the specters preferred the powerful Undeads more.
That was why the Vampire King attracted more specters than even the Vampire General had ever managed to draw, but with a single wave of his hand, Vampire King destroyed them all.
"Annoying Insects," Vampire King muttered as he started walking ahead.
Vampire King continued ahead and reached inside the Inner Region of the Valley of Wandering Souls.
He stood near the frozen lake that had now melted. There was a deep frown on his head as he watched the lake.
"Sigh looks like the ones that were trapped here have escaped. Tough luck, I told those guys not to trap them here. Now they will suffer," The Vampire King muttered as he shook his head.
"Whatever, nothing to do with me," He let out before he continued walking ahead.
Vampire King soon entered the core region of the Valley of Wandering Souls.
Along the way, he didn’t see Vampire General Viden, but that was because no remains of him were left behind.
Even though Viden was killed in the Inner Region of the Valley, he was entirely consumed. Also, his blood was not left behind as the specters consumed every blood drop that had fallen out of Vampire General.
Specters ate everyone they got the opportunity to eat, but they only consumed the blood of the ones from the undead species. The blood of the Demons wasn’t even touched.
If it were a demon, their blood wouldn’t be consumed, but since it was a Vampire General from the Undead Species, nothing was left behind.
Vampire King had entered the core region of the Valley of Wandering Souls, and he soon found the Guardian of the Valley.
The Guardian of the Valley was sitting on the ground. It seemed to be upset.
"What? How is this possible? Where is his gem?" Vampire King exclaimed in surprise as he noticed that the Guardian of the Valley didn’t have the gem it always kept close to it.
"How can someone manage to take the gem and escape? This shouldn’t be possible!" He let out with a frown.
Vampire King stepped closer and noticed more blood on the ground. There was blood everywhere on the ground. Many trees nearby were broken, and many marks on the ground were left behind, which showed how fierce the fight was.
He also noticed that the blood on the ground belonged to Demons.
"So Demons were the ones that fought it. From what I believe, they were here specifically for that gem. For them to successfully leave, they must have sent a High Duke here. This makes sense. Viden can’t defeat that High Dukes. If he faced them, it’s quite possible that he was either killed or captured," Vampire King muttered as he looked around.
He turned back and started to leave.
"Looks like I would need to go to the Demon Realm. If they captured him, I would save him, and if they killed him, I would see who killed him," Vampire King declared in a stern tone
Vampire King stepped out of the Valley of Wandering Souls and started flying back towards his Palace.
Ryder was sitting on the throne, trying to find a good excuse when Miku walked into the hall.
"Is it arranged?" he asked her as he raised his head.
"I have arranged for the maids and the guards," Miku replied.
"Good. Also, check up on him every hour to see if everything is fine or not," Ryder told her.
Miku nodded her head.
"Anyway, Did something new happen after I left? Do I need to know about anything?" Ryder asked her.
"There is one thing. High Duke Oris’ daughter had come to remind you about his Birthday. I told her that you were resting. She left without saying anything," Miku replied to Ryder.
"Yeah, I remembered about that. It’s tomorrow, isn’t it?" Ryder asked.
"Yeah, It’s tomorrow," Miku replied as she nodded her head.
"I’ll attend that. Anything else of significance?" Ryder inquired.
"Yes, Your Highness. You have received invitations from all of the Dukes to visit their Palace and their territory," Miku explained.
"An invitation to visit their palace? Why would I do that?" Ryder let out as he shook his head. "Let’s just ignore those."
"You can’t do that, Your Highness. The invitations are public, and everyone knows that you have been invited. If you didn’t go, they would feel insulted before their people. It would also spoil Your Highness’ reputation before the citizens that hadn’t attended the Coronation Ceremony."
"It’s an opportunity for you to meet the citizens that weren’t able to come here for the ceremony and the ones that haven’t seen your face. It would be good practice to let them see their Prince, or they would think that you don’t care for them,"
Miku explained the intricacies behind the invitation to Ryder.
"Sigh, It is so complicated. Whatever, I’ll visit their place. Make a schedule for me and place the visits on it. After Rale wakes up, I would visit the land of all out Dukes and meet my people," Ryder declared as he placed one of his feet over another.
"Anything else?" He asked.
"Nothing Major other than that," Miku shook her head.
"Good. Everything’s going smoothly. It would be great if it can continue like that. This land needs to grow as well, though. I noticed that there were many problems with this place, especially with the corrupt officials of small regions like the village of Miyali. I need to understand the intricacies of this place so that I am able to make decent changes to improve people’s lives," Ryder muttered.
"Is there a library here?" he asked Miku.
"Yes. There is a library in the palace," Miku replied.
"Good. Take me there," Ryder said as he stood up.
