Chapter 321 Reyes Death
What's happening in Gleloomess right now is nothing short of havoc and devastation. Everyone can be seen running around in horror. Mothers and fathers are getting killed right in front of their children, and parents are seeing their children die before their very eyes.
Several hundred guards start protecting the city, but they don't last a few minutes in front of the vampires that are equipped with high-end armor and weapons, not to mention their evolution stage that's far above that of the guards.
Blood flows in the city of Gleloomess, and the once-thriving place is now nothing other than a horror scene as blood flows like a river. The eyes of the guards can be seen filled with regret and anger as they failed to protect the city and at least give their families their last goodbyes.
Meanwhile, in the Freeman family, Roth can be seen sitting in front of a particular person... his father.
"Dad, why didn't you tell me that such a thing is going on?!" Roth asks in anger, slamming his hand on the table.
Reyes, the patriarch of the Freeman family and also the biological father of Roth, looks at his son, his eyes filled with regret.
"You won't understand, son. I did everything for your sake and the sake of our family. There are deeper things unknown to you and powerful vampires that can erase a vampire lord with just a thought of their mind. Do you want me to incur the wrath of such entities upon my family? Let's not talk about the blood pact we made," Reyes says, coughing a mouthful of blood on his palm, looking at it with a smile of regret on his face.
"Dad!! You didn't tell me that you made a pact!" Roth says, running forward to his father, gently grabbing onto his shoulders.
"I am sorry, son. I just couldn't risk it. Even though I act tough and wicked, I couldn't bear it. I wasn't man enough. That's why I pushed you... Pushed you to your very limit, made sure that you are strong enough and not be a weakling like me," Reyes says, coughing out a mouthful of blood again.
"Dad! Don't say such things! I am sorry for saying those harsh words to you, I am sorry for always seeing you as a bad person. I didn't know that you wanted the best for me," Roth cries out, hugging his father very tight.
"I'll finally die in peace now. It's always been my wish to see you at the top, and I am happy that my efforts didn't prove futile. T-Take care of the family when I am gone. Look after your brothers and don't abandon your duty for too long just to look for strong opponents," Reyes says with a smile, blood slowly trickling from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
His veins can also be seen lighting up in bright red.
"Dad!!!! I promise to avenge you!! I promise to bring his head right here," Roth bellows, crying furiously as he gently places his father, who is on his last moment, on the ground.
"Avoid him.... Avoid him at all costs. Let Jake take care of him because that man is a monster. You are talented, I know that. But you don't hold a candle to this person. Moreover, t-there are other f-for--" Before Reyes can complete his words, his body explodes into tiny fragments of flesh, splattering all over the walls of the room, leaving Roth dumbfounded.
Just at that time, one of his older brothers barges into the room but stops his momentum upon noticing the gory scene in the room.
"W-What happened here? D-Did you k-"
"I didn't. He made a pact," Roth says as he gets up from the floor and wipes his tears with the hem of his clothes.
Hearing his words, his brother doesn't say anything as he stands there and looks at the messy remains of their father.
"L-Let me inform the family," Roth's brother, Make, says as he departs from the room.
There wasn't much reaction on his face compared to Roth since they all thought their father was cruel and barbaric.
"If only they knew the truth. If only we knew that he was the best father," Roth mutters, glancing through the windows of the room.
"Dad, I will avenge you," Roth mutters. In the next moment, Roth dashes out of the room, bursting through the windows.
He descends to the ground without any aura shielding his body and slowly lands on the ground with a loud thud. n/-O.-v)/e-/L(/B/-1.-n
Looking around, he notices that the guards of the Freeman family are fighting against a group of vampire nobles, around fifty, and they seem to be strangely strong compared to the average vampire nobles. One thing he also notices is that they are bearing the Sanguine family crest on their armor.
"I'll kill every last one of you," Roth roars as he runs forward, using flashy footwork, killing all the vampires in a few seconds like a walk in the park.
Blood rains down from the sky as the bodies of the vampires collapse to the ground. Roth, now covered in blood, stretches out both his hands sideways, drowning himself in the rain of blood.
"T-Thank you, young master," one of the guards appreciates as he stops in front of Roth, breathing heavily due to exhaustion while trying to ward off the intruders.
"Give me updates," Roth demands.
"Okay, sir. There's intel that strange vampires with abnormal eyes are attacking everyone on sight. What we noticed about the ones we fight here is that they are exceptionally strong for vampire nobles like us. Their speed, their agility, and their swordsmanship are something we've never witnessed!" The guard explains.
"I see... What is their target and where is potentially at risk right now?" Roth asks.
"Gleloomess. According to reports, they are almost everywhere, and they seem to be many in Gleloomess city. However, their target, we are not aware of it yet," The guard answers.
Without replying to the guard, Roth vanishes in front of the guard, leaving the guard dumbfounded.
