Chapter 2536: The Last Blood Queen’s Location II
Adrian returned to the guild hall and saw the destruction that happened as it seems that his sister unleashed her wrath. It takes a lot of unresolved resentment and numerous stupid decisions for his sister to lash out in anger. She is usually the calculated type, but she unleashes the beast when her first personality does not work.
“I hope that you have refreshed yourself, sister. I can see that a lot of things were destroyed in the process.” Adrian stated with a smile, but Solstice only looked at him with sharp eyes which meant that she still has some frustration left. She can control it though which is why she picked up her chair and sat on it once again.
Adrian looked around and could see that the vampire council elders were all slightly injured but they recovered after a few minutes. They were all hanging their heads down though which meant that Solstice has complete control over the vampire council already. It seems that they cannot touch her because she has the qualities to become a vampire queen after all. Vampires obey the pecking order of their nobility.
“Let us just fix it all back up and we can now start over.” Adrian stated as he casually waved his hand, and all of the broken things started to fix itself as if time was being rewound.
The scale of the magic was grand enough to halt the vampire council in their steps. The youngest of the Arch Demons is someone that is said to be powerful in his own right. The vampire council members knew that Adrian was powerful, but they did not expect that he has mastered the arcane at a young age.
“Now that everything is in order, I will now relay where the current Crazed Blood Queen Akasha is staying.” Adrian stated as he proceeded to release magic and images of the area is projected.
Adrian showed a place that is not that familiar to the vampires because it is a place hidden inside of a forbidden zone. The forbidden zone is called The Vast Rocky Expanse which is a high-level area where numerous mountains are located. It is also home to numerous monsters that are inanimate as natural golems could be seen here.
“This is the Forbidden Zone called the Vast Rocky Expanse, and this is just the entrance to the place where the Crazed Blood Queen Akasha is staying.” Adrian stated.
“Wait, did you say entrance?” Solstice pointed out.
“Yes, this is merely an entrance. Deep inside this place is where the Crazed Blood Queen Akasha.” Adrian stated as the entrance is already swarming with monsters that are above level 300. He also proceeded to give another set of images that showed a reddish area deep in the Vast Rocky Expanse.
The area that Adrian showed them is filled with red rocks that shine in red light. The unique thing about the area is that it also has a lake that is filled with red liquid. This area is also being avoided by any of the monsters inside the Vast Rocky Expanse as if they know that they will die if they get near it.
“This is where the Crazed Blood Queen Akasha is currently hiding. The area is called Bloodstone Quarry. It is home to one of the cursed ancient dragons that is sealed in that very area. The lake of red is not really actual blood but is the result of sediments being mixed with rainwater.” Adrian stated.
“If I remember correctly, the one that was sealed there is called the Blood Dragon Sanguico. Are you telling us to fight that ancient beast?! We would rather kill ourselves because that beast is not something we can deal with.” One of the vampire council members vehemently stated but Solstice’ stare made her quiet down.
The Bloodstone Quarry is a place in he forbidden zone that is well known due to the fact that it is the only area that is literally red in color. It might be a forbidden zone that is known even at the start of the game, but the danger is not high. As long as one has decent hiding skills then they would be able to avoid the monsters in the Vast Rocky Expanse. The monsters in this forbidden zone are not really known for their speed.
There is even a lot of horror stories on why the Bloodstone Quarry is completely red as there is no mineral that could be mined here. Now that Adrian knew that a Blood Dragon was sealed there, the mana of that dragon might have affected the area to a vast degree. Ancient Dragons are powerful dragons that have the strength of at least a low-level god after all.
“Why are all of you already jumping to the fact that we are fighting a dragon when I have yet to tell what all of you and your families need to do?” Adrian stated which made the other vampires nod vigorously as the sharp glint in Solstice’ eyes has yet to vanish.
“Anyways, the one that will deal with the dragon would be me. The vampires would just need to deal with the army that the Crazed Blood Queen Akasha created. One of our reconnaissance units managed to infiltrate the area and bring back evidence. Let me show this to you.” Adrian stated as he showed an image that petrified the vampire council.
“Are you really sure that you need to take on the dragon?” Solstice whispered as she looked a bit worried for her brother.
“I can at least handle that thing. If I cannot kill it then I will make sure that it does not have any way to aid the Crazed Blood Queen Akasha while you are fighting her.” Adrian whispered back as the gasps surrounded the guild hall.
“That crazy hag!” All of the vampires shouted as they could see what the Crazed Blood Queen Akasha has done.
“She created an army of Strigoi! Does she not fear divine retribution!?” Another vampire exclaimed in disbelief.
The images that Adrian showed them were something that Awraka and the shadow unit has personally witnessed. The shadow unit managed to infiltrate all the way inside of the cave dwelling of the Blood Dragon Sanguico and they found a lot of them hanging on the ceiling. In fact, one could say that they are basically the ceiling of the cave itself because they were all located there.
A Strigoi is basically a human that has failed to be transformed into a vampire. They are the ones described in folklore when it comes to monsters of the night. They are beings that have lost their humanity and turned into beings that only crave blood. The transformation process is also not as enjoyable as it sounds because death is much better compared to becoming a Strigoi.
The Strigoi look like a human and a bat fused together as they will become more and more of a monster as time goes by. The Strigoi could be described as a large hairless human and bat hybrid as they lose all body hair in the process and even act like bats. The appearance of a Strigoi is also not the only thing scary about it. Strigoi are ten times thirstier for blood compared to a normal vampire.
“She has abused the creation relic too much! Why has there been no word of an entire kingdom being overrun by her? She created almost a million of them but there were no reports told to us?” The vampire council members stated in disbelief and Solstice is also of the same sentiment.
“The Vast Rocky expanse is surrounded by numerous small villages and towns. She could easily reach that number if she raided ten villages or towns each day. Anyways, the vampires will deal with the monster army created by the Crazed Blood Queen Akasha. I will deal with the dragon while my sister will lead the group against the Crazed Blood Queen Akasha. Is that fine?” Adrian stated.
“Can it be done, elders?” Solstice asked in her icy tone.
“We will need to call all of the vampires under us because a mass cleaning will need to happen. The Edelblud family is also part of this as well, Miss Solstice.” One of the vampire council members stated while being nervous.
“That is a given and House Edelblud will surely participate. Our free will is on the line after all, and we have no choice in the matter.” Solstice stated.
“Okay then. Since we are all in agreement, can I trust that the armies of the vampire council will honor that?” Adrian asked as the door suddenly opened to reveal large robust men entering.
“Sorry, I am late. The elders took a lot of time discussing.” Lycan stated as he escorted the werewolves that came with him.
“This elegant space suddenly needs to be fumigated because it now smells of dog.” One of the vampire council members remarked.
“It should be fumigated because your pompous butt is stinking up the place.” One of the werewolves fired back.
