Chapter 131: 131. Vanishing Runes.

However, they were unsuccessful in getting their revenge and wiping out the entire vampire race.

Salvatore had noticed what the vampire elves were up to, and so, to prevent them from carrying out their plans, he placed runes in all of their bodies.

These runes were unlike any other runes he was known for.

The runes were in several parts of their bodies, and each of these runes was programmed to explode once a vampire elf reached the transcendent mage rank.

"And that's how so many of us lost our lives during the war," Dahlia explained.

"The only ones left were those of us in rank nine or lower."

"Even after Salvatore died and the war ended, the runes on our bodies remained intact."

"We had no clue on what needed to be done to remove them."

"We were forced to live our lives with the runes, as it constantly reminded us of what would happen if we were to increase our rank to the transcendent mage rank."

"With no place to call home, we roamed around the world, not knowing exactly where we were going."

Since the war was over, the vampires had no reason to keep the vampire elves in the demon kingdom, and the vampire elves couldn't return to the elf kingdom due to the number of elves they had killed.

The elves were a race that lived for hundreds of years, it would be impossible for them to ever forget about the pain and suffering inflicted on them by the vampire elves.

That was why the vampire elves couldn't return home.

Of course, they never wanted to hurt or harm their kind, but they had been ordered to do this and there was nothing they could do about it at the time.

The elves knew about these, but the pain of losing so many loved ones made it difficult for them to easily accept the vampire elves.

Dahlia didn't even know why she decided to tell Orion all that she told him.

She felt a bit relieved to tell someone about how painful and horrifying it had been to live her life as a vampire elf.

She wasn't even sure if he was listening to what she was saying, but she was glad to have finally expressed herself to someone.

With this thought in mind, Dahlia suddenly noticed Orion placing his hand over hers.

Her eyes widened in surprise when she noticed his hand over hers, but before she could react to this, she suddenly felt a warmth spreading in her body as Orion's mana slowly coursed through her body.

Dahlia was rendered speechless when she noticed the runes at the back of her hands vanishing and dissipating into tiny particles as though they hadn't been on her body just a few minutes ago.

There were twenty-four runes in total scattered around her hands, shoulders, forehead, chest, back, and legs.

However, as Orion's mana slowly engulfed her, every single rune vanished away within the blink of an eye.

Dahlia hadn't expected anything like this to happen to her, but based on what she could see, she knew that this could only be done by a rune monarch. But didn't it mean that the elf prince was actually a rune monarch?

As far as Dahlia knew, there wasn't supposed to be a rune monarch in the world anymore after Salvatore died a few years ago.

That was why she found it really hard to believe what she was currently seeing.

Dahlia was feeling a myriad of emotions right now and she didn't even know how to react to what was happening to her.

She wanted to open her mouth to thank Orion at the very least, but just before she could say anything, Orion spoke first.

"I understand how you feel, but try to see this as your chance to start your life all over again. And the best way to do this is by making friends with a couple of ladies who are heading over here to see you."

Orion informed Dahlia before standing up from the bench.

Dahlia didn't understand what he meant, but before she knew it, the girls she had thought were spying on Orion suddenly walked towards her, sat beside her, and asked her several questions as though they didn't mind what she was and the things she had done in the past.
