Chapter 662 Pessimist
Vicente closed his eyes and shook his head. "It's hard to say. I don't know much about the organization within the vampire world. I don't know how their clans are divided, nor how many of them there are. I also don't know how many races and how many beings they have under their control.
But let's say that there is one vampire of the same level for every ten 4th-stage magicians on the continent.
I wouldn't be surprised if most of the continent's magicians and mortals were killed in five years."
The Purification would be an attempt by vampires to end the Magicians Age and begin the Vampires Age. To do this, the vampires would not have to fight beasts and other races of magical beings. The humans and their magicians dominated the continent, so the fight would essentially be against the human race.
Those who weren't targeted and had no reason to fight would most likely try to preserve themselves, even considering the problems they might have if the vampires won the war.
So if it were a battle of humans against vampires, it wouldn't take many of those pale-skinned beings to bring the human race to a terrible state like the one Vicente mentioned.
"There aren't that many pureblood vampires on the continent," Lina commented to him.
"That's the problem. There's no way to know for sure," Vicente commented to her. "Besides, The Purification will increase the power of the strongest vampires. So they won't even need many 4th-stage vampires. If only one of them manages to reach the 6th stage, it would be enough for them to achieve what I said.
It would be enough for an Archmage vampire to kill all the Archmages on the continent and then hunt down the Paragons. Such a 6th stage vampire could then return to their headquarters and let their subordinates deal with the rest of humanity."

Lina couldn't help but feel pessimistic. "You don't seem to believe in our victory."
"It's not that I don't believe. I just don't know what might happen. But realistically, it's quite possible that in five years, 70% of the human population on the continent today will no longer exist."
Vicente and his group were in one of these areas when they traveled to Metal City.
...
The week's journey between Saltstar City and Metal City would pass in the blink of an eye.
Vicente and Lina would talk a lot about the kingdom's future and how to prepare for the worst of the approaching disaster.
Those who didn't think about it so much, like Nina and Killian, hadn't talked about such things because they had managed to enjoy the journey between their city and their destination.
At the beginning of a new day, the group would wake up as the train slowed down, slowly taking in the scenery around Metal City, some of them seeing the place for the first time.
When they disembarked at Metal City, those who were there for the first time couldn't help but look at the place with smiles on their faces, seeing the most organized, clean, and different place they had ever been to in their lives.
Metal City had an atmosphere unlike any other place. The people there seemed to have unusual auras, while the polar lights that were constantly present in the local sky couldn't help but mesmerize the women in the group.
Soon, Vicente and those who already knew the place best began to guide the group through this place, where they planned to stay for the next three days before returning to Saltstar City.
Metal City was still small. Though it had everything to satisfy the needs of people as sophisticated as these newcomers, it was still small and three days would be enough to see everything there was to see.
Those three days would fly by, and soon, Nina and Lina would understand what Vicente had built and the potential of this place for his departure from the kingdom in just over a year.
When they returned to Saltstar City, it was time to prepare for the changes that would take place after a year, when Nina would experience her awakening and then have to say goodbye to her brother!
