"Nice."
Everything looked good, and more than anything, Aldritch was very satisfied.
While he went through the system, Misa picked out the clothes she had prepared for Aldritch and assisted him in dressing up.
Once she was done, Aldritch turned to her, 'I haven't tasted her in a long time...' he thought to himself. For some reason, Misa looked even juicier after all this time.
"How long has it been?" He asked.
"It has been one month, Lord."
"Hmm..." He expected as much, given the time it took for his evolution. Then again, this meant that their remaining one month was up, or at least, only a few days were left at best.
"Go get me Lada and Ingrid."
"As you wish, Lord." Misa said before exiting the room.
Aldritch's plan was simple, with enough BP, he could evolve his entire vampire family of over 5,000 without stress. Of course, there was no way to jump evolution stages, so he could only evolve everyone once, as they would still need time to stabilize their strength after each evolution, if not, he would have gone for an even higher rank than Vampire Lord.
As the last of his subordinates crossed, Aldritch lingered for a moment at the edge of the portal, his gaze sweeping over the lair one final time. The home he had built in the lower world had served its purpose, certainly.
With a faint smirk, Aldritch stepped into the portal, and the world dissolved around him.
They didn't care about leaving behind the formation for opening the portal. If anyone found out about it and studied it to come to the higher world, well, that was their fortune.
The transition was disorienting, a rush of light, sound, and overwhelming energy. When Aldritch emerged on the other side, he found himself standing on a mountain plateau, the air crisp and thin, but much richer than anything he had ever breathed. The higher world stretched out before him—a landscape of towering peaks and overbearing forests
His family was already regrouping nearby, their eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings. The air was thick with magic, its potency far greater than anything they had encountered in the lower world.
"This place..." Lina murmured, her voice tinged with awe. "It's... alive."
"Welcome to the world we live in. Amazing, isn't it?" Ralwa said with a smile on her face.
"Ahhh, at long last."
"Hmm, the restrictions are gone... feels good." Khal said, observing his surroundings with a sharp gaze. "And here they come."
Their arrival had not gone unnoticed.
A group of figures approached from the forest below. Without any explanation, it was clear that they were elves, clad in shimmering light armor of odd colours, their weapons glowing faintly as though imbued with enchantments. Their leader, a tall elf with silver hair and piercing green eyes, stepped forward, his expression wary.
"You are trespassers," he said, his voice cold and regal. "State your purpose, or leave this place."
'Elves?'
