Chapter 224 The Cave

Red~!

That's the only thing that can be seen inside a very dark, eerie cave. Two red glowing eyes are slowly moving inside this cave as if waiting for something to show up. These eyes are not the weak eyes of a prey, but rather that of a predator, slowly lying in wait for its prey.

There are times when the predator also has to be cautious of its surroundings especially if it's the prey's turf, since the prey tends to fight back occasionally. That's the case of what is happening here.

A very beautiful vampire can be seen carefully tiptoeing into this space. She's wearing a lightweight, king-tier, silver armour with curved horn designs on the shoulder pad, giving her a warrior's look. The aura that's being exuded from her is also enough to make almost any beast flee for its dear life.

This vampire is none other than Zamira, the first princess of the vampire king, and also the current leader who is acting  in his stead while he is in slumber.

She's a very beautiful woman who is seven feet tall with broad shoulders, giving her the look of a small giant. Apart from this, she is well endowed in the right places with appropriate proportions and is very beautiful, even more so than Jill, the second princess. However, her cold personality and fondness for battle makes her look more manly as she's always seen wearing armour. (It's not like she has ever worn a woman's clothes.)

Her armour is at the same level as that of the royal guards, and she chose it herself for some reason. Also, her sword is almost as powerful as a demon-tier weapon but also far from it at the same time. Either way, it's stronger than a demi-god tier weapon due to it being a weapon made from two different demi-god beast crystals.

"I have been searching this cave for quite some time now, yet I can't find any signs of these beasts. Is the intel legit?" Zamira mumbles as she unsheathes her sword and keeps going deeper into the cave.

Her sword is also glowing with a purple light like a luminous glow stick. The sword doesn't look to be made from pure steel (Zlatherium), it seems to be made from a strange material. The shape is similar to a saber with many runes on it while there's a shiny-looking crystal embedded at the bottom of the hand grip.

The crystal doesn't look like it can be easily removed as it looks welded to the grip of the sword in a very fine way.

Walking forward a little, Zamira starts hearing small sounds coming from a few meters away.

Using her vampiric eyesight, Zamira can see in the dark as clearly as day. Right now, all her senses are spread across the vast space, watching out for a possible sneak attack.

TWOOSH!!

Suddenly, a thick object is sent flying towards Zamira who instantly evades it by leaping backwards and slashing the air with her sword. Her sword has just cleanly cut the white thick object, as it can be seen lying on the ground. Looking at the object with keen eyes, Zamira immediately discerns that it's a very thick cobweb that is capable of capacitating an average vampire effortlessly.

"Time to fight. This beast must be a spider-type beast and this cobweb shooting must be its ability as it's even capable of restraining a vampire knight. But wait…. the intel said there also seems to be a humanoid demi-god beast. That means the humanoid beast is somewhere around here. If that is the case then I'm currently going against two demi-god beasts!" Zamira grins with a vicious expression which makes her look like a battle maniac, as she takes a battle stance, preparing for the worst to come.

******************************

Right now, I am heading towards the cave where Zamira is headed. It's a very large cave somewhat close to Glelloolmes market/town. Even though I already saw this town/market on my way here, the view is still very exciting and exhilarating to look at.

And oh… I forgot to collect the sword from my mom. But well…it's fine since I have a sword inside my inventory. You must be wondering how I got it, right?

Of course, I kinda stole this sword from a guard after realizing that I forgot to collect one from my mom's armory. It's an advanced-tier katana sword. As for its skill, I don't know yet.

Flapping my wings intensely, I start flying very fast towards the cave, as I can see it from afar with my special eyes. Releasing all my Ki, my senses increase rapidly and I can sense everything that's up to 500 meters away from me. Not even an ant can escape my senses.

Getting closer to the cave, I start sensing the fluctuation of energy coming from the cave. This energy is vampire energy to be precise, according to my senses. Getting closer, I can feel the energy pulsing from the cave, making me quite surprised.

This amount of vampire aura….what is this? It's like my current aura, but not stronger than my vampire aura. Is this the power of a vampire warlock? I wonder how monstrous my aura would be if I evolve to the vampire lord stage. As a noble vampire, my aura is also like the one this person is exuding which is a very impressive feat that no one other than me can exude.

But… is this really how far the aura of a vampire warlock can go?

I think inwardly as the aura starts getting stronger and fiercer the more I get closer. At my current stage, there's no way I can produce such a monstrous aura unless I evolve further.

I must stay put and observe things before I make any decision.

Getting closer to the location of the cave, I start feeling vibrations of attacks coming from within the cave. It's obvious that an intense fight is going on inside.

Without wasting time, I land on the ground and start walking forward, putting away my Ki for some reason.
