Chapter 124: Lucian's new 'ally

On the other side of the continent, Peter, Lucian's newly found ally, known by his castle ID [Lone Wolf], looked at Lucian's invitation on his system dashboard and smiled."Finally, I can leave this hellhole. If I stayed a few more days, my corpse would probably be crawling with maggots."

Peter didn't hesitate to accept the invitation. As his castle was gradually covered by the teleportation array, it vanished from its original location.

In the Barren Plains, Lucian stood outside his castle, ready to welcome his new ally.

With a flash of light, a black castle covered in claw marks appeared in Lucian's view.

Lucian suddenly caught a whiff of a foul stench, the air filled with a nauseating odor.

"Oh, my esteemed ally, was your castle located in a garbage dump?"

Peter emerged from his castle, covering his nose.

When Peter and Lucian's eyes met, it was as if they were long-lost enemies. Their eyes turned red with inexplicable rage.

Both knew this wasn't their doing. Could it be their bloodlines?

What kind of bloodline would make a vampire feel such revulsion?

Werewolves!

The Flame Demon Wolves, Frost Werewolves, and Frost Sprites Lucian had fought before weren't true werewolves. They were merely creatures resembling werewolves.

Peter seemed to realize this too. His previous castle location had been overrun with vampires, prompting his urgent move.

"Lowly werewolf!"

"Weak vampire!"

Vampires and werewolves had been mortal enemies since ancient times. Legend had it that the ancestors of both races were twin brothers who became bitter foes. Vampires enslaved werewolves for centuries.

The werewolves eventually rose up, overthrowing the vampires' rule, discovering that the high-and-mighty vampires weren't invincible.

Vampire and werewolf blood were incompatible. If either was bitten by the other, their blood cells would lose vitality, leading to instant death.

Compared to other races, both vampires and werewolves had exaggerated self-healing abilities and formidable physical traits, making them nearly impossible to kill.

But for these two races, killing each other was as simple as a single bite.

Peter's muscles bulged, his body swelling and tearing through his shirt. Fur sprouted all over his body, his head transforming into a wolf's, revealing rows of sharp fangs dripping with foul saliva.

In an instant, Peter became a 10-foot-tall werewolf covered in gray fur.

"Fuck, this is so unlucky!"

Even the usually emotionless Lucian couldn't help but curse. He hadn't just failed to find an ally; he had brought in an enemy.

In a flash, they charged at each other, their newly formed alliance shattered.

Countless vampires and werewolves poured out of their respective castles, clashing violently.

Lucian was agile, and Peter was quick to react. They exchanged dozens of blows, leaving wounds that quickly healed, showing that such attacks were ineffective.

Their enmity was ingrained in their blood, a primal instinct, leaving no room for negotiation.

They saw only each other, intent on killing the other.

Vampires outnumbered werewolves. Lucian had the luck to transform an entire village of humans, while Peter, born in vampire territory, wasn't as fortunate.

Each werewolf faced three to four vampires. Despite their superior individual strength, werewolves were at a disadvantage due to the vampires' agility and ability to fly.

The werewolves were quickly overwhelmed and killed by the vampires.

Lucian realized Peter wasn't his match. Finally, he had found someone he could defeat besides Samson.

Lucian, done testing Peter, went all out, using his blood to attack. ϺѴᒪƎϺƤႸƦ.ϲՕƜ

Lucian's blood could be controlled and manipulated, posing a significant threat to Peter. A single wound from Lucian's blood would be fatal.

Peter's only weapon was his claws, lacking any special abilities, making it increasingly difficult to counter Lucian.

"Fuck you!"

Peter, enraged, resorted to verbal attacks. Unlike the vampires' inherent rationality and calm, werewolves became violent and frenzied when transformed.

Peter leaped into the air, claws extended towards Lucian, but missed. Lucian's sword slashed Peter's hand, and Peter immediately severed his own hand, which turned to ash on the ground. His hand quickly regenerated.

Lucian's blood rained down, and Peter dodged swiftly, running on all fours.

He didn't believe Lucian's blood was endless. Once it was exhausted, he could counterattack.

As time passed, Peter hadn't depleted Lucian's blood, but his werewolves were all dead, surrounded by countless vampires.

Lucian hovered above, sneering at Peter below.

"I submit to you!"

Seeing the hopeless situation, Peter chose to surrender. Besides Lucian, there were many other Commanding level vampires, making victory impossible.

"Do you think I would trust a werewolf's words?"

Lucian knew that under the influence of racial hatred, even if Peter submitted, he would likely betray Lucian at the first opportunity.

"Kill him!"

The surrounding vampires, already furious at the werewolf, swarmed at Lucian's command.

In his final moments, Peter didn't resist. In this harsh world, death was just an end. He sent a message on World Chat. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Lone Wolf]: "Brothers, I sacrificed my life to expose [Dracula] Lord's plot. His troops are vampires, capable of transforming humans. He deceived everyone to strengthen himself!"

[Lace Panties]: "A great pioneer!"

[Cuban Cigar]: "I knew it! Thanks for your sacrifice!"

As Lucian's blood pierced Peter, his body turned to black smoke and dissipated, and his castle began to crumble.

Lucian was puzzled. Why had Peter opened the chat interface before dying? Was he saying goodbye to loved ones?

Curious, Lucian opened World Chat.

Lucian: "Holy fuck."

Lucian's message was immediately met with a barrage of insults from the entire channel.

...

Just at this moment, Alex was also browsing World Chat.

"Did he break some kind of sacred rule?" Alex wondered, realizing she hadn't spoken in World Chat for days.

Feeling a bit sympathetic towards Lucian, she decided to speak up for him.

[Hamburger]: "Sometimes, it's worth reflecting on yourself. Have you gotten stronger over these days? Have you been seriously developing?"

As a well-known Lord, Alex's message immediately drew a flood of praise from other Lords, completely ignoring her actual words and forgetting their recent anger at Lucian.

Alex didn't reply further. She remembered she hadn't visited the continent of Arsen for a day. With the snowy mountain in chaos, she couldn't develop here, so she planned to send more undead to Arsen.

Just as she was about to enter the Portal of Transit, she received simultaneous messages from Sophie and Chi-Chi.

[King Kong]: "Miss Alex, I've discovered a group of Hobgoblins!"

[QuartzStriker]: "Specters have detected Silverbeard Clan dwarves heading into the depths of White Rock Mountains!"
