Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1211  Vampires

Bloodmoon Empire—inside the Royal Castle...

"Lord, Cassandra is dead..." Spoke a kneeling vampire in a respectful voice.

Alistair, who was sitting on a throne, tilted the vine glass—filled with blood-red liquid—in his hand and took a sip.

"Any information about the culprit?" He asked in a calm voice while savouring the taste of the fresh blood.

"There is no information for now, but we suspect that it is the work of the dragons..." The kneeling vampire responded and continued. "Before we lost contact with her, she had informed us that she was following a woman who was heading toward the dragon islands."

Alistair tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair, and after a moment of silence, he stood up.

"Bring me Cassandra's shattered life lamp."

The kneeling vampire immediately left the throne room upon hearing Alistair's order and came back in less than a minute.

When he came back, the vampire was holding some broken fragments of light green-coloured glass, and all the fragments had a hint of blood-red on them.

Seeing the fragments of the life lamp, Alistair waved his hand, and all of them flew in front of him.

As he looked at the floating fragments of the life lamp, his red eyes began to glow with an eerie red light, and a strange aura filled the entire room.

The vampire who was kneeling felt his body tremble, and the blood within his body shook violently as if it was reacting to something.

Under Alistair's gaze, the floating fragments of the life lamp disintegrated bit by bit, leaving behind only the blood-red spots that were on the life lamp.

Once only the blood-red spots were left in front of him, the glow in Alistair's eyes faded away, and all the red spots merged into one, turning into a blob of red liquid.

Alistair looked at the blob of red liquid and opened his mouth, sucking away the entire blob.

The moment Alistair drank the red liquid, his eyes turned hazy, and his vision began to shift, showing him the culprit who was responsible for killing Cassandra and leading to the destruction of her Life Lamp.

In an instant, Alistair's sight reached the other end of Utopia, and he found himself moving above the Boundless Ocean, heading to the deeper area where the Dragon Islands were located.

Alistair looked at the Boundless Ocean below him with a thoughtful look as his vision continued to move.

'It seems it was really the work of a dragon who killed Cassandra...' The vampire thought to himself.

With the conflict between the Dragon Islands and the Gehenna Empire and Anderson's death, Alistair always felt there was something wrong with this entire matter.

Whether it was the rank six golden dragon who destroyed the capital of the Gehenna Empire and announced that Baphomet was dead or Halphas, who was suspected to be the one who killed Anderson for the Life Water, Alistair felt that they were just pawns being manipulated by someone.

Although Alistair knew it was most likely a ploy, he still couldn't just sit and do nothing when one of the Rank Six Core Evolvers of his empire was killed.

Even if he knew Halphas was just a scapegoat, he still needed to take action; otherwise, if Alistair didn't make a move, the other high-ranking vampires of the empire would express their dissatisfaction.

He was strong and could beat any vampire who came his way, but being strong didn't mean he could run the entire empire on his own.

He needed to listen to the opinions of the other high-level vampires as well, and none of them could sit still after knowing that Anderson was killed by Halphas.

Vampires are haughty by nature, and in their eyes, Anderson's death was a clear provocation to their empire. If they didn't retaliate in the same manner, it would be a disgrace to them.

To keep these vampires in check for the time being, Alistair told them to wait until the war between the dragons and demons reached a critical point. Once the Demon Empire was exhausted, they would take advantage of the situation to avenge Anderson without much effort.

For this reason, they had sent some high-level scouts—such as Cassandra—to keep an eye on the war situation between the dragons and demons... And now that Cassandra was dead, Alistair knew the other vampires would once again come to annoy him to take action.

Being an emperor is not easy!

So, before the other vampires came to annoy him, he wanted to look for the real culprit who killed Cassandra.

As Alistair's vision continued to expand, he soon saw the floating islands in the middle of the sky, and his eyes flashed with red light.

"The culprit is really on the Dragon Islands..." Alistair muttered, and just when his vision reached the central island, it suddenly darkened, and he found himself standing in the throne room again.

Alistair frowned when he realized his skill was interrupted the moment he was about to see who the real culprit was.

"Not even Eldrakar has the ability to stop my blood spirit skill..." He muttered in a low voice, and a look of interest flashed inside his red eyes. "To be able to avoid my skill, this person is definitely a Rank Six Core Evolver and not a normal one at that."

As Alistair spoke, he took a step forward and walked toward the door.

"I will be back soon. If those annoying guys come, tell them to wait for me," He said to the kneeling vampire, who nodded his head and didn't ask where he was going. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Soon, Alistair left the castle and appeared high in the sky.

Looking at the brightly shining sun, Alistair covered his eyes and rubbed them slightly.

"It's been a while since I last came out for a walk..." As he spoke, his body turned into a small bat, and he flew forward like a black meteorite. "I hope whoever this person is won't disappoint me."
