Chapter 555 The Subjugation
Denise had seen a glimpse of the Vampire before Roland closed the door.
The Vampire wore a fine and stylish suit, with a black and red color. He had a crisp white shirt with a few buttons undone. He wore a sleek black tie with a silver and ornate pin and a tailored red jacket with a black and velvet collar.
Lastly, she noticed that he had a pair of black leather shoes with a shiny and polished look.
He certainly looked like a noble and wealthy gentleman with a refined and cultured taste. He looked charming in her eyes as he exuded a passionate and adventurous spirit.
Thankfully, the door was immediately closed, so she wasn’t completely “attracted” by the Vampire. She was saved by that action!
“That’s dangerous…” She muttered while still feeling scared of what had just happened. The Vampire looked like a powerful and dangerous enemy with a cunning technique.
She was almost drawn to the Vampire’s beauty!

At this time, Roland also heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the door was closed tightly and the people on the other side didn’t dare to open it.
He was a bit worried that the door would open once again and Drake would start complaining.
“Senior Roland, if they killed the Vampire, Clovis will lose the bet…” Leonel said as he wanted to know why Roland made such a bold decision. Although he wasn’t against abandoning those people, he was worried that Clovis would have to give up his Sovereign Rank Ring because of it.
The other Arcanists had the same question as they looked at Roland curiously.
After some hesitations, Roland could only share what he had known.
“Forget about the bet. That Vampire is beyond our level. Right now, if we can’t find a way of dealing with that enemy, we have to think about escaping while Drake’s squads are fighting it.” Roland revealed.
“What? How strong is that Vampire?” Elsa suddenly asked. 𝘪𝑎.
“That’s right… Are you sure you’re not overestimating it? Maybe if we all cooperate, we could defeat it.” Roy added.
However, Roland simply shook his head. “I’ve seen a portrait of that Vampire before. That creature manipulates blood, and he had caused chaos a hundred years ago. He killed three Grandmaster Arcanists before vanishing.”
“What?!” Leonel and the others couldn’t contain their shock after hearing that the Vampire had killed three Grandmaster-Class Arcanists!
“That’s right… I don’t think we could even beat an Expert-Class Arcanist… Maybe if all eight squads worked together, we could handle a Master-Class Arcanist. But a Grandmaster will annihilate us.” Roland explained, shocking the whole group once again.
Now, everyone realized that they really should be thinking of escaping this castle.

Meanwhile, inside the room, the four squads led by Drake were facing the Vampire.
They had entered the room with confidence, thinking that they could easily subjugate the Vampire and claim the glory…
“Those losers even closed the door… So pathetic.” Drake softly commented as believed that this was a great chance for them.
“Well, it means that they won’t be able to make any contribution. We just have to kill this Vampire, and we’ll be the winner of this bet.”
“Hahaha! They probably think that we’ll lose to this Vampire.”
“Hmph… They didn’t do their research… Vampires have so many weaknesses. They wouldn’t hide in this abandoned castle if they were really powerful.”
“Indeed… Everyone, prepare your pistols! We’ll make this quick!” Drake shouted as they all carried their pistols with silver bullets to deal with the Vampire.
Of course, they also readied their flask of holy water in case they needed it.
However, the battle didn’t go as they planned.
They had underestimated the Vampire and overestimated themselves. They had made a fatal mistake.
The Vampire was fast and agile. He was silent and stealthy, and none of them were able to get a clean hit!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The expensive silver bullets were wasted as they didn’t hit their target. They even used their spells to immobilize the Vampire, but he moved like a shadow and a blur, and even with their Magic Zone working at full capacity, they all failed to lock on their target!
The Vampire attacked them from behind, catching them off guard. The Vampire touched them slightly, and it didn’t seem to have any effect.
However, after a moments, something unexpected happened.
“What?!”
The Vampire was able to manipulate blood, controlling the movement of their bodies against their will! He made them drop their weapons and items, rendering them useless and defenseless.
However, there were four people with stronger defenses that couldn’t be manipulated…
The Vampire merely smirked after seeing this as he made the controlled Arcanists turn against them, making them fight and kill.
“Stop! You guys! Don’t get controlled by that filthy Vampire!” Drake shouted to his team.
The leaders of the squads who had decent defenses also shouted in hopes of waking their comrades. However, it was all futile.
The battle didn’t even last 15 minutes, and the Vampire remained unhurt throughout the struggle. 𝘪𝑟.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The Vampire, without any change in his expression, killed Drake and the others one by one after they got exhausted.
However, it could be seen that all their blood was being drained at an incredible rate and absorbed into the Vampire’s clothes.
“Boring…” The Vampire muttered as he didn’t find the battle entertaining at all.
They were too weak and too slow. He only used his Charm and Blood Manipulation, and the Arcanists had already died.
“If this is the average strength of the Arcanists, then this realm will be doomed in a few years.” He muttered as if he knew something about the future of the Human Realm.
The Vampire then looked at the drained corpses of the intruders. He couldn’t help but wonder why they had come to his castle and disturbed his peace. He had forgotten to ask them.
Anyway, he decided to find out, so he started to search their bodies and their belongings.
Soon, he found the mission request in Drake’s inner coat’s pocket.
He read it carefully and couldn’t help but chuckle…
“They offered such a huge sum of money. No wonder they dared to enter the castle.”
