Chapter 388 The Blood King and the Truth
?As soon as the Blood King’s words ended, 12 blood swords immediately rushed towards that black space.
Whoosh!
The wind whistled, and the 12 blood swords seemed to be blocked by something. The space where the 12 blood swords penetrated slowly cracked, the crack spreading to the surrounding space.
“AAA!!!” The Darkness King’s scream rang out. 𝒻𝑟𝑒𝓮𝔀ℯ𝓫𝓃𝑜𝓋𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝓸𝓶
Immediately after that, a strange black light flew straight into the sky and rushed into the distance.
The blood king frowned, then controlled the falcon to chase after it. But the falcon had just spread its wings when the Blood King spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face turned pale, and countless veins appeared all over his face like tree roots.
At this moment, Lathel felt a very familiar feeling, as if he and the Blood King knew each other.
“Hmm?!” Lathel was startled and retreated.
He saw the Blood King suddenly look towards him, startling him. After all, Lathel currently exists in a spirit state, so he doesn’t think anyone can see him.
However… he didn’t understand why the Blood King was looking exactly in his direction and it looked like he had just discovered something strange.
Lathel turned to look behind him, but there was nothing unusual there, which meant that the Blood King was looking at him.
He took a deep breath, feeling a bit worried. However, the Blood King then lightly shook his head and sighed.
“Okay, let’s go back.” The Blood King gasped as he spoke. Hearing that, the eagle flew to a faraway place at an extremely terrifying speed.
Lathel saw that and glanced at the Blood King, then decided to follow behind the Darkness King.
He wanted to see what secret the Darkness King had. He was also curious about the Blood King’s identity, as it seemed that the Blood King was related to the vampire clan.
However, the Blood King was terrifying, and it seemed like he could detect Lathel even though Lathel exists in a spirit state.
That’s why Lathel decided to follow the Darkness King.
He flew at an incredibly fast speed; after all, he was in an almost invincible state. No one could touch him, but he also could not touch anything.
In just a few seconds, Lathel caught up with the black light. However, he felt a bit worried. If the Darkness King continues to fly to an area where he cannot operate, he will have to turn back.
However, luckily, just 5 minutes later, the darkness king stopped in a dark canyon and immediately entered it.
Lathel was, of course, not afraid, as he also flew closely behind the Darkness King.
The canyon was so deep that Lathel even felt that it was deeper than the Mariana Trench on Earth.
After travelling more than 15 kilometres deep, the Darkness King stopped. Although sunlight could not reach this place, it was illuminated thanks to the light element stones floating around.
Lathel was a bit startled when the black light was moving, and it seemed like a living thing.
The inky black light then condensed into the shape of a human.
The Darkness King waved his hand, and a black gem appeared from inside the canyon and flew into his hand.
Then, the Darkness King started muttering some kind of strange language. At this moment, the mud beneath his feet split open, revealing a giant stone door. The stone door slowly opened with a heavy sound.
The darkness King saw that the door had opened and swung the black gem in his hand into the air. That gem quickly flew back in the direction from which it appeared.
Lathel frowned when he saw this scene, silently remembering all of the Darkness King’s actions.
When the stone door revealed only a small gap, the Darkness King turned into a stream of black smoke and immediately flew inside. Lathel also flew closely behind the Darkness King.
As soon as he and the Darkness King flew inside, the stone door automatically closed. The layer of mud above also closed as if there were no doors there.
The light stones also stopped emitting light, and the entire space was plunged into darkness.
Inside, Lathel realised that the place was a bit strange. This place… felt a bit like space, as everywhere was completely black, with only a few spots of light like stars.
“Could it be… this is the darkness space that Viva mentioned?” Lathel muttered.
The smoke surrounding the Darkness King disappeared, revealing the body of a thin man with a pale face.
His long black hair fluttered irregularly, and his eyes were just black like a devil.
Lathel shivered when he saw the Darkness King; he felt that this was the appearance a villain should have.
He was ugly and disgusting, and he evoked fear in people.
The Darkness King waved his hands, and immediately afterward, countless streams of black smoke suddenly appeared around him and merged into his body.
He did not feel comfortable; instead, he screamed in pain.
“AAA!!!”
Darkness King’s scream caused Lathel to retreat a bit, even though Lathel knew Darkness King could not detect his existence.
The Darkness King had a pained expression as black smoke continuously poured into his nose, mouth, ears, and eyes, causing his body to convulse violently.
Lathel frowned, not knowing how long the Darkness King would endure this, nor did he have the patience to stay here and watch a monster tremble for days at a time.
He decided to leave. Now that Lathel is in this form, he can go through any door he wants, as nothing can stop him.
Before leaving, Lathel checked again for the location of the black gem and the spell to open the gate. After completing the inspection, Lathel immediately left.
He flew through the sky, feeling something calling him in the distance.
Lathel looked in the direction of the voice calling him, and immediately after, he flew in that direction.
After more than 30 minutes of flying, he arrived at an extremely magnificent and luxurious castle.
Lathel followed the call in a daze, arrived at a large hall, and saw Directly support the authors on WebNovel!
many people holding weapons, ready to fight.
They all looked in one direction, where the Blood King was sitting on a chair, his hand resting on his chin, as he looked Lathel followed the call in a daze, arrived at a large hall, and saw many people holding weapons, ready to fight.
indifferently at the group of people in front of him.
“Blood King!” At this moment, a voice rang out. A young man appeared; he had brown hair and brown eyes, and a face so handsome that it looked like a statue carved by a master sculptor.
“How do you feel when all the Popes have gathered here to kill you?”
Hearing that, the Blood King’s face remained indifferent, showing no emotion at all. He just sighed and said: “I have defeated the Darkness King; isn’t that enough for you to let me go to the vampire clan?”
“Hahahahaha…” The brown-haired young man laughed loudly: “If everything was that simple, there would be no war in this world, Blood King.”
“So what do you want, Lumiere?” The Blood King frowned and asked.
‘Lumiere?’ When Lathel heard that name, he was startled: ‘Could it be that he is the first pope of the Lumiere Church?’
Lathel began to feel as if he was about to witness a terrible secret of this world.
“It’s very simple… You can defeat the Darkness King, which proves that your power is great.” Lumiere smiled as he spoke, his appearance was extremely arrogant, making Lathel also feel uncomfortable.
“Blood King, do you think I can let someone with terrible power like you be beyond my control?”
“That’s impossible, Blood King. If now you use your blood and your beliefs to swear eternal loyalty to me, then I can let you and the vampire race live.”
“If not…”
Lumiere suddenly waved his hand, and right after that, the people behind him began to raise their magic staffs. Magic circles appeared, radiating an aura of all kinds of colours.
“Don’t try to pretend that you’re okay.” Lumiere said contemptuously: “You just defeated the Darkness King, but your power wasn’t enough to kill him, so you used the Zodiac Magic Formation along with the Blood Sword.”
“That’s why, you are very weak now, so weak that just me and another person can easily defeat you.”
“Oh!” The blood king nodded indifferently: “So why did you bring so many people here? Are… are you that afraid of me?”
“You…” Lumiere gritted his teeth, his face red with shame and anger.
“It seems… I have scared you to the point of obsession.” The Blood King slowly stood up.
Lumiere saw this and retreated in fear, stammering: “What… What are you going to do? I warn you… I am the Pope, if you resist today, I will…”
“Are you going to kill me, Lumiere?” The Blood King spoke, his voice filled with coldness and murderous intent, making Lumiere shiver.
“I have done many things for you, from driving the Orcs from their lands, threatening the Human Empires, to defeating the Darkness King.”
“However… I have never claimed those merits for myself. You tell everyone that the church is the one who drove out the orcs.”
“You spread the propaganda that it was I who threatened the human kingdoms so that you could gather more followers.”
“You receive all the glory, and all the blame is given to me.”
“You still bring out my vampire clan to threaten me, that’s more than enough.”
“You…” Lumiere gritted his teeth, and he gathered all his courage to speak: “So what? What are you going to do?
“Lumiere, I will probably die today, but at least…” Blood King frowned, looked at Lumiere, and said: “I can drag all of you with me.”
