Chapter 436 - Drowned Guests

The feast continued while the kings are still discussing about something. Helping each other with making a motivational speech, I guess?

For me, I don't need it. Kill the enemy so I can gain my wish of peace.

The enemy might be stronger than even master level mage. But if it's the person who killed all Aura users in the past because he's thinking that Aura user can defeat him, I might be able to kill him. Though that will be difficult.

Just being able to cut through magic might not be enough. I might need other thing as well. Even Javier's master can only seal the guy.

Let's see what I can do. I can shoot him, slash him, stab him, crush him, but I still need other things. My magic is too weak, so the best thing I can ask is for other to get stronger. Luckily, Angela has grown much stronger than anyone I ever fought.

Oh, right. I promised her for a fight. Well, I'll do it next time.

Also, seeing how powerful the monsters in this world, the cult might have quite a lot of powerful tamers. That way, it's not impossible for them to tame a dragon. Maybe even Alejandro.

For now, eating is the most important thing.

Let's forget about difficult things for today, and eat to my heart content…

"Wait, where are the meat!? Where are they!?" I shouted and gaining everyone's attention.

"There are meats, and there are werewolves. Where do you think they could be?" Kron said while biting on a steak.

"As I thought, I shouldn't have joining that discussion. Werewolves! Don't you dare touch the cakes!"

This might be stingy for me to act like this and ordered the werewolves something stupid, but I won't let them eat the cakes since they have eaten all the meat.

"Don't worry. We're full," Jack said while patting his own belly.

What about the angels? What are they eating?

Well, they seem to not be the kind like werewolves that grabbed everything that fits into their mouth. They gracefully only eat what they want, as much as they can fill their stomach, and done just after that.

For once, I like the angels over the werewolves.

As for the elves, I can't see the difference between them and goats as they are eating green vegetables.

Other than eating, there are many kids and family having fun entering the artificial lake. Since we built that lake, there hasn't been any fishes inside there. And other than the middle part which is so deep, it should be fine if the kids are not going there.

The kids are playing peacefully. Well, actually no. When kids are playing, there's no doubt that it will be noisy. And it's amazing to see kids from different races playing together.

The children of the elves were afraid of going too deep into the water. They can only go as deep as their ankles. They are coward just like their parents.

The children of the angels don't want to get wet. They are flying above the lake.

The children of the werewolves are play fighting in the deeper part of the lake.

The children of humans… being led by Daniel, they are pranking the children of other races. Splashing water to the angels that don't want to get wet, pulling the elves deeper into the lake, and laughing at the werewolves.

Daniel is being taught well by me.

"Daniel is growing to be an evil child. How do you think about it?" Sophie asked me as I was eating while watching the kids.

"I taught him well," I said proudly.

"Only you would say that. By the way, have you told Angela when and where you two will fight?" Sophie asked.

"Not yet. Angela had told me that she wants at least a week in Monsters World to get used to her power. I think the soonest we can fight is next week," I replied.

While we're chatting, Daniel is running over here while shouting something.

"Roy! There's something under the lake!"

"There's no way that anything could be there. We built the lake, and I have seen it many times that there are no other things under there. There's not even a fish. Only some water plants that was planted by the elves. Maybe that's what it is," I said.

Although I said that, I haven't used my Divine Vision at all since I was too focused on eating. There's no need to use it when I'm having fun seeing things normally.

"Roy! There's something in the lake!"

This time, the one who shouted was Sara. She has a good pair of eyes, so this time, I believed it and used my Divine Eyes to see what's wrong.

There's shouldn't be anything in the lake, right?

Wait, there are really something inside the lake! There are several corpses inside the lake!

"Tell Albert that the vampires are here," I said to Sophie and the others nearby.

"They're here? Should we prepare to fight?" Sara asked as she grabbed her rifle. She always carried it with her ever since she received it.

"No need. They are drowning and unconscious. Get all water mages here so they can get the water out of the vampires' lungs," I said.

Since there are kids inside the lake, the water mage can't use magic to get the drowned vampires out of the lake. So, I asked the werewolves to grab them.

I pointed at where the vampires are under the water, while the werewolves will dive and take them out of the lake, to where the water mages are ready to get the water out of the lung. There are also some healers to heal the vampires just in case. Sophie is also there to massage their chests so they can start breathing again. Unless the vampires have drowned for too long, they should be able to recover.

Everyone was wondering about the vampires. Especially the family and friends of those who participated in the battle.

Why are they back again? And most importantly, why are they drowned?

"Look! That's the female vampire from before," Shelia said as she pointed at a familiar female vampire that Albert let go. She's the Vampire Duke, so she should be the one with the highest rank.

"What happened here?" Albert and the others have arrived, and confused as they see the situation.

"Well, the vampires are here. Not in a way that any one of us would expect. They are drowned and carried by the river to the lake," I said.

"Are they dead?" Albert asked.

"I don't think so. Not yet anyway. If they are killed before they are drowned, there's no way to revive them. But if they are just drowned, it's possible for them to survive. Don't you know? I'm a doctor," I said proudly.

"But how could this happen?" Albert asked.

"I don't know. For now, I will help the others to revive those drowned vampires first. But what I do know is that… vampires can't float," I said as I massaged the chest of the female Vampire Duke to make her come back to live after Carmen get the water out of her lung.

Yes, I picked her first even though there are other vampires who had their lung cleared out of the water.

The girls aren't looking at me kindly, but this vampire should be the one whom we can trust the most. At least she's the only one that Albert has meet and talked with. So, she must be the first to come back to live.

Just a few seconds after massaging her chest, her heart has beating again. I wish her heart won't beat for a few more minutes. But if that's the case, I don't know how to explain it to the girls.

Though after the Vampire Duke has returned back to life, other female vampires are being treated by the girls. Sigh… I guess I can just let the others to do it since everyone needs to learn first aid.

"Is she waking up?" Albert asked.

"Soon. With us nearby, they won't be able to do much. But let's get the kids and non-combatant away from here. Elves! Get the kids to play around in the trees!" I told Tia and the other elves to take care of the kids.

Since they are kids, they will love tree house. That's what I am thinking. And I was right as the children of the elves started showing off about their tree houses to kids of other races. Daniel seems to be the one who is excited the most. I guess I'll try building one later.

"Just what could have happened?" Lynn asked.

"I don't know. But since there are no obvious wound from anything, I don't think that they are fighting something. Maybe water is their weakness? They can't swim. Or maybe they loss a lot of blood to survive underwater. I know for one that even the Vampire King could survive in outer space just by using energy from the blood he consumed. Since they might want to drink some blood, everyone needs to keep their distance from the vampires. They might attack us as soon as they woke up," I said.

If that's the case, then what is it that cause them to use a lot of blood before they were drowned? And what were they doing upstream?

I guess we can only wait until they are awake.
