Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 344 The Dreams Of A Traitor



—–

The absolute power to master magic. Since the moment that Emiliano learned about magic, it has been his passion to learn about it and continue mastering it above all. Other people were merely NPC to him, they were background characters aside from his ultimate research for the pinnacle of magic. For someone born with various elements of magic, he had always felt that he was someone incredibly prodigious and amazingly talented. As someone born in a noble family without parents, as both of them had died before he could make any memories with them, he grew immersing himself on his studies, without forming any sort of connection with other people.

Ultimately, although he pretended to be a decent man, deep inside, he saw others that were as powerless as Julia was disgusting, even more, civilians were simply just as despisable. He only respected those with strength and magic power, and sought after them countless times, even going as far as experimenting with slaves born with magical affinities of elements he lacked, and more, all for his purposeful research, which he thought was like the meaning of his life.

When he reached level cap, he felt hopeless though, his magical power suddenly stopped increasing, and his skill levels were becoming harder to increase as well, his magic research had taken an abrupt end. In that moment, he desperately started to research about other races. Monsters first came to his mind, who had the ability to evolve after reaching level cap and increase their level cap automatically… he felt like that was unfair. Why were monsters given such an incredible power but humans were destined to grow up to a certain degree? Why couldn’t humans evolve?

This is when he realized that it was still possible… humanity by itself was his limiter, he simply had to stop being one. The first thing that came to his mind in that instant were the infamous race of bloodsuckers, vampires. They had the power to convert others into their lesser kin, and Vampires were able to evolve and increase their level cap through each evolution, gaining new skills, new power, and amazing magical affinity… All in exchange for something he considered a slight detail, an undying thirst for blood and a weakness to sunlight and related elemental magic affinities.

But as long as there was magic, he could easily make up for the elemental weaknesses, and blood wasn’t a problem. He could merely buy slaves to drain dry! As a man that simply never held any regards to human lives, this was ideal. He sought to become a Vampire, but they didn’t allowed him to become one so easily, the leader of the Vampires decided to use him and expand his business and control over humans through him. Due to this, Emiliano became his servant in the shadows, manipulating the government of this fiefdom and the uncle of Julia, the previous Duke, to do atrocities and even inciting him to kill the Dark Witch, the last member of the family that was protecting the Fragment of Evil.

With her out of the picture and the rest of the family slaughtered in an “accident”, the Fragment of Evil ended falling into the hands of the government… And part of such government members were already working with the Vampires. Their goal was mutual, use the fragment to attain new heights of power, create new magic weapons and use them to have an upper hand over the stronger Human Kingdoms and Empires of the Continent… this way, the Albraun Kingdom would be able to expand and attain more territory. This was always the dream of any ruler, the means to attain such a goal were the problem.

Emiliano did as he could and slowly managed to please his lords, the possibility of becoming a Vampire were quickly approaching him, as he could already taste the power of breaking his level cap and reach new heights!

…But things were abruptly stopped by the one he called “an annoying little bitch”, Julia. She came as the new Duchess. At first he thought that, as a child, she would be very easy to manipulate. But somehow, she was incredibly righteous, and her only goal was to improve the living of her people and lift up the fiefdom from the horrendous state it was left by her uncle. The ideal nest for the vampires experiments quickly started to fall apart as she began to destroy all the secret underground organizations, and even abolishing slavery in the entire fiefdom!

Emilia quickly decided that there was no point in holding back anymore, plotting to kill Julia with the Vampires’ help, and he had attempted a few times, but they were all futile. Until now… when he finally decided to go all out as the Vampire’s leader decided that this fiefdom was of no use anymore, deciding to discard it. Without any reasons to hold back his fa?ade any longer, he merely decided to show who he truly was… a despicable snake.

And with the help of Agatha, an incredibly strong Pure Blood Vampire who was of high level and with a power comparable to A-Rank Adventurers, or even higher than that. He was sure of his victory, plotting to send Marie and her group to the dungeon, distracting them so he would have time to easily manipulate the barrier protecting the manor and trap everyone inside, and it was a total success!

Julia couldn’t believe it… She had entrusted him everything for so long, she really didn’t wanted to suspect someone like him! But at the end, this man ended being a two-faced bastard that only cared about himself selfishly.

“Now, as you promised, I can become a Pure Blood Vampire, right?” Asked Emiliano, ignoring Julia’s face filled with despair, as Agatha nodded, taking out a small bottle with red blood inside.

“Drink this… This is the blood of our Lord. Anybody that drinks it can become a Pure Blood! I was given such a blood and I’ve become as strong as I am thanks to that.” Said Agatha with a coquettish voice.
