Chapter 448 - Jakob's Arrival
Chapter 448 – Jakob’s Arrival
—–
Jakob quickly left his spaceship as he flew down below with a group of guards and servants, mostly Lesser Vampire Subordinates and Blood Elves, which were all at Demigod Realm. The rest of his fleet remained in midair while he flew down below, he resembled a more matured version of Valen, and way more serious looking than the already overly serious Vampire that Chaos devoured.
He looked down below into the big city, there were spaceships flying around, and people were bursting through the streets, it seemed as lively as ever… However, what Jakob and his servants didn't realized was that all these people seemed strange.
"Hmph, it seems the city is filled with people, I guess he can maintain a stable economy if there is a lot…" Said Jakob. "Brother, where are you? Are you not going to receive me?"
Jakob asked out loud, as a figure quickly flew off the top of the tower, it was Valen. He flew down below to greet Jakob, his young brother.
"Brother, I have been waiting for your visit since you announced it." Said Valen as he forced a smile and seemed quite nervous. Jakob smiled internally, knowing that his brother was nervous about everything going on. After all, he was going to have everything he has taken away from him if he didn't showed any progress to his brother, and it was completely allowed by his father himself.
"Heh, it seems that you're a bit nervous, little Valen. Don't worry, as long as everything is alright, I won't punish you. Father even said that I could give you a prize and we could celebrate together. Come on, cheer up!" Laughed Jakob, as if trying to mock his brother.
"R-Right, I apologize." Said Valen while sighing a bit, Jakob couldn't help but enjoy the face of his brother and how nervous he was.
"As you can see, the city is bustling with people everywhere. The economy is doing fine, the sales of the native slaves are in an all-time high. Saphibians are an exquisite race to domesticate. And their women are considered an exotic beauty, while the younglings are also favored." Said Valen. "Males are strong and resilient, and their ability to breathe underwater and remain for undefined amounts of time make them very useful for jobs underwater."
"An unique race indeed…" Said Jakob. "But what about the Swamp Titan, have you managed to tame him?" Asked Jakob rather cockily.
"Why yes." Said Valen.
Jakob was surprised by his brother's words, quickly thinking he was just lying.
"What? You're lying." Said Jakob. "There is no way my little brother would tame the giant divine beast… This world is such a problem because of that being and it was given to you at a very cheap price, you know?"
"…I am well aware of that. But fear not, in this planet there is a thing named "Saints" Female Saphibians capable of communicating with the amphibians of this planet, they also have spirit magic unique to them, and they can communicate with the Swamp Titan and order them to do things…" Said Valen.
"Incredible!" Said Jakob. "Did you caught that girl?! I see! So that's what you did…" Jakob said while rubbing his chin, he felt rather surprised, and his view of his brother slightly changed.
"Well, come to my tower, I have some servants that have prepared the best blood for you today." Said Valen.
"I hope its not that frog people's blood…" Said Jakob.
"Of course not, this blood is a rich blood I purchased from the finest human and elven breeders. There is even the incredibly rare Spirit Elf Blood Bottle I got the other day, just for you, my dear brother." Said Valen confidently.
"Ooh? Interesting, it seems you've put some effort at the end, Valen." Said Jakob, raising an eyebrow in surprise. "I have never tasted the fine blood of a Spirit Elf, I wonder how it is…"
Valen guided Jakob inside the tower, as the two crossed the doors and then they were promptly closed by Blood Elf Servants, who seemed expressionless and very obedient, another thing to praise.
"your servants seem incredibly well trained." Said Jakob.
"Yes, I have trained them well, they're there for my every command." Said Valen. "Just as this… Kill yourself and offer me your blood." Valen said, as one of the servants walked in front of Valen and promptly sliced his head off with his own claws, as a fountain of blood began to come out of the sliced neck.
Splaash!
"Oooh? Incredible obedience!" Laughed Jakob, as Valen offered him a fresh cup of blood.
"Here." He said.
"Hm, not bad." Said Jakob, as he gave it a few sips while they walked towards the dining room.
As they walked in the dining room, Jakob seemed quite pleased, perhaps his brother had really improved and he wasn't such an useless person as he thought.
However, for a slight second, he suddenly felt something.
It was weird… as if something odd was going on.
A bad and weird feeling, which he couldn't properly grasp.
Jakob stopped walking for a second, following this sense he had, but finding nothing.
"Hm? Brother, is something wrong?" Asked Valen.
"…No, never mind." Said Jakob. "It must have been my imagination."
Jakob sat down in front of his brother, as two Blood Elves served the two the premium blood.
Valen drank half the cup in one go, licking his lips.
"It is delicious, please try it, my dear brother…" Said Valen.
"Hm… Let's see…" Jakob said, drinking the cup of spirit elf blood rather rapidly, the sweet flavor really was something else, and he felt a slight amount of spiritual energy slowly descending through his throat.
"Oh, I can even feel the spiritual energy! This is wonderful…" Said Jakob in surprise.
"Indeed, it is very wonderful." Said Valen with a smile, a wicked smile that continued to grow bigger and bigger, Jakob didn't felt anything weird until he realized Valen was smiling a bit too much…
"What with that clown face- Ungh?!"
And then he felt it, Jakob felt a deadly toxin slowly seeping inside of him!
