Chapter 333 The Truth [part 2]

333 The Truth [part 2]

Hearing his words, I also let out a big sigh. The world is cruel. No matter how much you'd help them or risk your life in the past, they'll point their fingers at you for just one mistake.

"I understand your pains now, and how you feel. However, I think what you are doing isn't the best way to sort things out. By the way, can you tell me why you have a strong hatred towards the dhampirs?" I ask another question.

Derek looks at me, his eyes widening slightly as if he has been expecting this question. "Well, there has always been this prophecy going around that the dhampirs are going to be the doom of the vampires. They'll be the ones to kill every last one of us, even though they are our sub-species. Just imagine a race with the vile personality of a human and the rugged body of a vampire. Plus, they don't have any of our weaknesses!"

"When we had issues with the human race, the dhampirs and the humans collaborated to attack us and take our planet for themselves. If not for the peace treaty and the fear of going against me, I don't know what might have happened. That's why I vowed to myself not to let that type of thing happen again," Derek explains to me.

"I see... So, what do you want to do now?" I finally ask after hearing the whole story, preparing myself for battle in case the worst is about to come. Hearing my question, Derek turns his back on me.

"I made a pact with the blood god that I should be completely free after completing a mission for him. I am not completely free yet, which is why I am unstable and doing some unnecessary things. The mission... Is to kill the protoss," Derek lets out.

Hearing his words, my face turns dark. Just as I guessed, there must be a catch to his return.

"So, the blood god is not comfortable and he is hiding like a scaredy cat after learning about my reincarnation," I say with a small chuckle. "Why did you even accept that pact, Dad?" I ask.

"To achieve my aim.... Since the pact was legit, I thought I should kill the protoss since he hasn't acquired all his powers, and he is going to reincarnate anyway. Once I am completely free, I plan to kill the blood god with my own two hands since I have known his weaknesses," Derek answers.

"So, are you going to kill me now?" I ask, contemplating if I should attack right now. However, I am feeling some kind of false hope that I am willing to hang on for some reason.

"What is that?"

"Promise you will bring Misty and her child to my tomb after you've recovered it from the blood god," Derek says with a light smile.

"Oh shit... How did you know that she's pregnant?" I ask, my face turning red slightly.

"Fufu, I got it from Intel. Now, I want you to strike me with your strongest attack. That'll send me into my tomb since it's not my complete figure that's standing in front of you," Derek requests, and I nod my head in response, unsheathing my sword.

"So, you have Excalibur with you... Good thing I didn't fight against you. Once again, extend my greetings to Misty and Jill," Derek requests again, closing his eyes as my sword glows with a red flashing light.

Taking a deep breath, I swing Excalibur with all my might, the red light enveloping Derek. As he disappears, a sense of emptiness lingers in the air.
