Useless.
Absolutely Useless.
This World's Core, or whatever it was.
Absolutely Useless.
With just 2% Energy, there was absolutely nothing Azriel could do.
All of this Energy is used by the Fairies, and Azriel couldn't benefit from it in any way.
'So much for a Reward for clearing the Trial.'
Azriel snorted inwardly.
Then, he raised his hand and looked at his palm.
'I guess clearing the Trial is a reward in itself.'
Whatever happened in this Trial, one thing was sure.
This is going to help Azriel.
Living as Azriel Origin for such a long time, seeing the level of strength that he can actually achieve, seeing the power of the True Vampires, and Azriel Origin's personality itself, these things will definitely help Azriel.
Azriel clenched his fist and a smile appeared on his face.
A smile that resembled Azriel Origin.
Then, his smile widened and it resembled Azriel Ruinous.
Azriel then looked at the World's Core in front of him and with a single thought, he disappeared.
"Welcome back, Lord."
Crown, who was still kneeling on the ground, greeted.
Azriel Origin was used to it, Azriel Ruinous, clearly wasn't, however, he didn't show that.
With a straight and calm face, he nodded.
"You can stand up now."
Acting awkwardly and trying to reject all this 'Lord' stuff was idiotic. Now that he has 'connected' with the World's Core, he understood what kind of existence the World Fairies were.
They weren't exactly living beings, they didn't have any 'feelings', they were just... moving golems.
Improvised Golems, if you want to call.
Hearing his words, Crown smiled, and then, she stood up.
"Yes, Lord."
"I will be taking my leave now."
Azriel informed.
"Yes, Lord."
Crown nodded.
Azriel then looked at Sword Fairy, Spear Fairy and all the other fairies he trained under, he smiled at them, and the fairies smiled back, then,
He disappeared.
"Hmm?"
A small frown appeared on Azriel's face when he saw two beings sleeping under the tree.
After thinking for a while, he finally recalled who they were and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Heh. As expected of them. Sleeping without the care of the world. Well, it would be strange to care about the world after living in this place for such a long time."
After living as Azriel Origin, Azriel finally understood what Vasuki and Tyria were going through.
Why the two of them overcame this so-called 'racial boundaries' and stayed together with each other.
Azriel could understand that well.
Therefore, he didn't bother to wake them up.
It is not like it is he wouldn't come here later.
With the connection he had formed with the World's Core, he could feel that he would visit this place many, many more times.
Azriel turned around, and there, he saw Crown standing behind him.
He smiled.
Crown smiled back.
The two of them nodded at each other and then,
Azriel disappeared.
...
*Badump* *Badump*
*Thud*
"You bastard! Why the hell did you fall down so suddenly!? Do you think you can fool me with that pathetic act of yours!?"
A human roared in anger as the Slave Vampire, who was carrying his stuff, fell on his feels, dropped all the goods he was carrying, and grabbed his chest.
"Pick it up you bas-"
*Thunder*
The Human wanted to shout at the Vampire again, however, his words were interrupted by unusually loud, no, deafening thunder.
The Human momentarily lost his hearing due to that thunderous sound, in panic, he started rubbing his ears, and at the same time, he lifted his head.
"!!!"
His eyes widened in surprise.
A huge Web-like Lightning that seemed to have spread in the entire world, it was as if the world is about to end.
An empty feeling washed over the human who was looking at this.
He then looked around and notice all the Vampires were kneeling on the ground, grabbing their chests as tightly as possible.
"W-What is happening?"
The human couldn't help but question.
And he wasn't alone.
More than 1 Trillion beings living in the continent of Yrniel had the same question in their mind.
Just what the hell is happening?
What's with this strange, gigantic lightning?
Why is the Sky Red in color?
Why are the Vampires kneeling on the floor while grabbing their chests as if they were in pain?
From the commoners to the Kings and Emperors, nobody knew the answer to these questions.
Everyone just looked at the Sky, overwhelmed by different emotions and waiting to see what would happen.
...
*Ba-dump*
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
The beings living inside a certain mansion on the outskirts of the Vampire Continent suddenly felt a strange pain in their hearts and all of them fell on their knees.
"W-What is happening?"
One of them tried to regain their footing, only to fall down again. In frustration, he questioned.
"Ugghh..."
Nobody answered.
Or rather, no one was in any condition to answer.
*Thunder*
All of them then heard a thunderous sound, they raised their heads and their eyes fell on the huge, web-like lightning and the red sky.
Their eyes widened in surprise.
...
In another room inside the same mansion, a white-haired woman wearing a maid outfit looked at the black-haired woman in front of her and called out,
"Lady Luminia..."
Luminia looked at Lilia with a smile on her face.
"W-What is happening...?"
Lilia questioned as she grabbed her chest.
She had received a great shock today.
First, this strange pain in her heart, then the lightning and the red sky, and last and the biggest shock of her life.
Luminia was kneeling on the floor.
Yes, the strongest Vampire in the world was kneeling on the floor.
Even she was helpless against this strange phenomenon.
However, the stranger thing was...
That even in this condition...
She was smiling.
Lilia couldn't understand what was happening, and this pain in her heart wasn't helping her either.
Suddenly, Luminia's smile widened.
"He's back."
She muttered.
"Huh?"
Lilia frowned.
However, before she could even ask anything,
Luminia disappeared.
