Chapter 388 The Blood King and the Truth

As soon as the Blood King's words ended, 12 blood swords immediately rushed towards that black space.

Whoosh!

The wind whistled, and the 12 blood swords seemed to be blocked by something. The space where the 12 blood swords penetrated slowly cracked, the crack spreading to the surrounding space.

"AAA!!!" The Darkness King's scream rang out.

Immediately after that, a strange black light flew straight into the sky and rushed into the distance.

The blood king frowned, then controlled the falcon to chase after it. But the falcon had just spread its wings when the Blood King spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face turned pale, and countless veins appeared all over his face like tree roots.

At this moment, Lathel felt a very familiar feeling, as if he and the Blood King knew each other.

"Hmm?!" Lathel was startled and retreated.

He saw the Blood King suddenly look towards him, startling him. After all, Lathel currently exists in a spirit state, so he doesn't think anyone can see him.

However... he didn't understand why the Blood King was looking exactly in his direction and it looked like he had just discovered something strange.

Lathel turned to look behind him, but there was nothing unusual there, which meant that the Blood King was looking at him.

He took a deep breath, feeling a bit worried. However, the Blood King then lightly shook his head and sighed.

"Okay, let's go back." The Blood King gasped as he spoke. Hearing that, the eagle flew to a faraway place at an extremely terrifying speed.

Lathel saw that and glanced at the Blood King, then decided to follow behind the Darkness King.

He wanted to see what secret the Darkness King had. He was also curious about the Blood King's identity, as it seemed that the Blood King was related to the vampire clan.

However, the Blood King was terrifying, and it seemed like he could detect Lathel even though Lathel exists in a spirit state.

That's why Lathel decided to follow the Darkness King.

He flew at an incredibly fast speed; after all, he was in an almost invincible state. No one could touch him, but he also could not touch anything.

In just a few seconds, Lathel caught up with the black light. However, he felt a bit worried. If the Darkness King continues to fly to an area where he cannot operate, he will have to turn back.

However, luckily, just 5 minutes later, the darkness king stopped in a dark canyon and immediately entered it.

Lathel was, of course, not afraid, as he also flew closely behind the Darkness King.

The canyon was so deep that Lathel even felt that it was deeper than the Mariana Trench on Earth.

After travelling more than 15 kilometres deep, the Darkness King stopped. Although sunlight could not reach this place, it was illuminated thanks to the light element stones floating around.

Lathel was a bit startled when the black light was moving, and it seemed like a living thing.

The inky black light then condensed into the shape of a human.

The smoke surrounding the Darkness King disappeared, revealing the body of a thin man with a pale face.

"Blood King!" At this moment, a voice rang out. A young man appeared; he had brown hair and brown eyes, and a face so handsome that it looked like a statue carved by a master sculptor.

"How do you feel when all the Popes have gathered here to kill you?"

Hearing that, the Blood King's face remained indifferent, showing no emotion at all. He just sighed and said: "I have defeated the Darkness King; isn't that enough for you to let me go to the vampire clan?"

"Hahahahaha..." The brown-haired young man laughed loudly: "If everything was that simple, there would be no war in this world, Blood King."

"So what do you want, Lumiere?" The Blood King frowned and asked.

'Lumiere?' When Lathel heard that name, he was startled: 'Could it be that he is the first pope of the Lumiere Church?'

Lathel began to feel as if he was about to witness a terrible secret of this world.

"It's very simple... You can defeat the Darkness King, which proves that your power is great." Lumiere smiled as he spoke, his appearance was extremely arrogant, making Lathel also feel uncomfortable.

"Blood King, do you think I can let someone with terrible power like you be beyond my control?"

"That's impossible, Blood King. If now you use your blood and your beliefs to swear eternal loyalty to me, then I can let you and the vampire race live."

"If not..."

Lumiere suddenly waved his hand, and right after that, the people behind him began to raise their magic staffs. Magic circles appeared, radiating an aura of all kinds of colours.

"Don't try to pretend that you're okay." Lumiere said contemptuously: "You just defeated the Darkness King, but your power wasn't enough to kill him, so you used the Zodiac Magic Formation along with the Blood Sword."

"That's why, you are very weak now, so weak that just me and another person can easily defeat you."

"Oh!" The blood king nodded indifferently: "So why did you bring so many people here? Are... are you that afraid of me?"

"You..." Lumiere gritted his teeth, his face red with shame and anger.

"It seems... I have scared you to the point of obsession." The Blood King slowly stood up.

Lumiere saw this and retreated in fear, stammering: "What... What are you going to do? I warn you... I am the Pope, if you resist today, I will..."

"Are you going to kill me, Lumiere?" The Blood King spoke, his voice filled with coldness and murderous intent, making Lumiere shiver.

"I have done many things for you, from driving the Orcs from their lands, threatening the Human Empires, to defeating the Darkness King."

"However... I have never claimed those merits for myself. You tell everyone that the church is the one who drove out the orcs."

"You spread the propaganda that it was I who threatened the human kingdoms so that you could gather more followers."

"You receive all the glory, and all the blame is given to me."

"You still bring out my vampire clan to threaten me, that's more than enough."

"You..." Lumiere gritted his teeth, and he gathered all his courage to speak: "So what? What are you going to do?

"Lumiere, I will probably die today, but at least..." Blood King frowned, looked at Lumiere, and said: "I can drag all of you with me."
