Chapter 1104 Meeting The Vampires Again, This Time Peacefully
-----
Within the skies atop the city where the Vampire Family resided, a figure clad in black and red scales emerged. His six red eyes glared down at everything going on down there. The monstrous being quickly sensed the presence of his Master disappearing, until his will was finally suppressed.
"What a pleasant surprise… Master has been defeated."
His sharp jaws smiled evilly, as if he had been waiting for this to happen. At long last, somebody had finally slain the one that created him… His black and red scales shone with Blood and Shadow Divinity of incredible power, as his vampiric wings flapped, slowly beginning to fly down.
"Oh, so it is him… Heh, amusing. I might as well give a good greeting to my dear brother. I've been watching him all this time after all…"
(Drake's POV)
Right after defeating the fragment of Alucard, I didn't rest. I quickly activated my Vampire Progenitor's Senses, detecting where each of his other crystalized fragments were, and through Telekinesis, I dragged them all into the palm of my hand.
"[Primordial Rainbow Ice Seal]!"
FLAAASH!
The fragments were quickly sealed in Primordial Rainbow Ice, as I stored them inside my Inventory for now. Inside that space, they'll be suspended in a place where time has stopped.
"I'll use you as materials later, dear Venerable."
I looked into the distance, the city seemed to be alright, the people evacuated in time, and the monsters were all defeated by Yuki and company. The surviving Spirits I created also helped.
It seems things finally… finally, they resolved themselves just alright.
I flew back to Rakasha and Ruby and then we went to the town where the Vampires made their home alongside their subjects, people they asked for blood every few months or something.
There was as big chaos going on. Half of the entire city was destroyed, and I began to lament that part of that was my fault… when I stormed Red's castle, I kind of went berserk a bit.
Now that we finally have Ruby back, I guess I should take responsibility for all the things I did out of my own fury and uncontrollable strength.
The people in the city was made up of around 400 non vampires, and from the survivors of the vampire family remained roughly 68 of them. They were all the "good" vampires, not the ones obeying Red who were incredibly mercilessly and came to try to kill us a couple of times already.
However, they were also fanatics of the Vampire venerable, and these were the people that wanted his rebirth through Ruby, they only sent her away because Red wanted Ruby's powers for herself.
After we were done sorting things out, I decided to cheer everyone's mood, going back into my Ice Giant form, and quickly summoning several Cooking Spirits to make food for everyone. The comforting smell of food and the warm steam comforted the people we sheltered inside a large building, an ancient cathedral.
The chief of the non vampires gathered with the vampire family representatives, Ruby's mother, and her close relatives, which we all rescued were gathered in this hall with me and Rakasha, and some of my allies.
Ruby, of course, was at our side. We had to explain them everything that happened, and what we did… what I did as well.
"So that's how it happened." I finished explaining.
Every single vampire, even the chief of the non vampires were left shocked. They had suffered a lot as well and knew of Red's tyranny, they were happy she's dead… but they didn't expected I would fight their ancestor and kill him too.
"Our ancestor's… dead?"
"W-Wait a second… That horrendous monster we saw earlier, it was our ancestor?!"
"It can't be… our ancestor was said to be a beautiful man with a flawless appearance, it couldn't be that thing…"
"…Right?"
All the vampires looked back at us and Ruby.
Ruby sighed.
"The ancestor was a monster… He only wanted to slaughter everyone except our family. He was a monster also in looks, his soul was an aberrant… thing. And he forcefully tried to parasitize and destroy my mind when I refused becoming his vessel. I would had died if it wasn't for Drake and uncle Rakasha."
Ruby sighed. She knew her family wouldn't understand why she felt that way anyways. They probably thought dying to become the ancestor was the greatest shit ever or something.
"So you refused our ancestor…"
"You're a traitor to our family…"
"We thought you would become our ancestor, you failed us…"
"And you even colluded with these two strangers who killed him!"
"You're a traitor of our kin! Do you have vampires so badly?!"
Only Ruby's mother remained silent, without knowing what to say.
"Shut up!" Ruby roared back, without holding back any longer.
Her aura suddenly overflowed from her body. Ah, I forgot to mention her Divine Core was raised all the way to Rank 9, so she was the strongest pure-blooded Vampire right now. By hierarchy standards, they should obey her.
"T-That Divine Aura…"
"S-She's a Vampire Goddess of such a high rank!?"
"We are also Vampire Gods but… our power was forcefully increased by Red's divine blood potions, and our cultivation has become stuck in Rank 7 now…"
"But she's… Rank 9!"
"Such a glorious aura of vampiric power…"
"But she's a traitor, I cannot accept her!"
The vampires discussed with one another. I guess I cannot get too involved, it was up to Ruby to decide now.
"Ruby…."
Her mother finally spoke, about time.
"Mother?"
Ruby grip her fists, as she mustered the words.
"Mother I-"
"I am sorry."
"Eh?!"
Before Ruby could say a word, her mother apologized to Ruby.
That was… quite surprising! We thought she was going to get as angry as the rest.
"I was wrong… Everything, our entire family tradition, it was all wrong… Our Ancestor was not a glorious god, he was an abomination that wanted to consume it all. No different than Red." Her mother sighed. "These people… can't you understand they saved our lives?"
Ruby's mother confronted the other Vampires.
