Level Up Legacy

Chapter 1313  Not Invincible

Eros was torn apart, but he kept moving backward into the portal. Arthur Netherborne was a true madman, attacking without even caring about defending. His goal was to eliminate Deluge regardless of the consequences. And he would have been successful if not for the countless life essences the Sin of Lust used to survive.

Spades could not wait until his master passed through the gate. After all, he needed to be prepared to close the space tunnel once they were on the other side. Moreover, he was just a liability to his master since he needed to be protected. Once he jumped through the portal, his head spun, and his consciousness shifted. The extreme nausea hit harder than usual because of the distance.

"Master!" shouted Spades toward the gate, and his master came through the next instant like a broken kite. Spades closed the gate in time, but not before a bolt of black lightning managed to hit him in the chest. He collapsed to the ground, breathless, as he fought to keep the portal closed.

Eros fell on the ground, with his limbs severed and his head half gone. The sight was gruesome, but the life essences he stole through his powers managed to keep him alive. Spades could not spare a second to observe his new surroundings, focusing solely on the gate.

"What do we have here?" muttered a voice from behind him. Spades flinched but did not turn around. "Who did this to the Sin of Lust?"

"Who are you?" asked Spades, his hands trembling. Then, he turned around once he realized that the portal was no longer being traced to his location. He found himself in a dark courtroom that he couldn't see past himself and his master. However, countless red eyes stared at him.

"My identity is well-known, but is that how you address a king?" asked the voice as the pair of red eyes in the distance squinted. In the next instant, something red flashed through the darkness as Spades lost his legs. The man howled as he fell to the ground, almost kissing it. "That is much better."

"Who are you?!" shouted Spades, unable to comprehend the situation. His portal should not have taken him anywhere dangerous, but the shard that he used might have manipulated the coordinates.

"Open the ceiling," said the voice again, and footsteps rang as the ceiling began to move. Light shone through the courtroom, revealing the countless figures standing inside. As the one speaking earlier approached, he stopped before leaving the shadows. However, Spades recognized him. "I remember you," said the beautiful, pale man. "You were one of Deluge's men."

"I am," said Spades as he knelt his head. "We were attacked by Arthur Netherborne. Please forgive my disrespect, Lord of Vampires, Kar."

"The outsider strikes again," muttered Kar with amusement as he stared at the healing Eros. "Our friend here received quite the beating. Did Arthur Netherborne grow stronger before we realized it?"

"He is stronger than anything I have ever seen," said Spades, his hands trembling. His blood stopped gushing out the moment he apologized earlier to the Blood King. "It lasted only a few minutes, but he defeated us all and killed our lord several times."

"I understand," said Kar as he turned around. "Let's wait until your lord awakens again. Since you have told me the truth, you can have your legs again."

Another flash of blood carried his legs and attached them, and Spades could walk again. His heart was beating in his chest as he examined his legs but did not dare to rise again. It was clear that they were in the territory of the man who visited Eros before, Kar.

Seconds later, his lord finished healing, rising from the ground with confusion. As he looked around, he saw the countless vampires standing in the courtroom, then looked at Spades on the ground, and then toward Kar sitting on the throne again, looking down on them.

"It has been a while, Kar," said Eros as he rose from the ground, still holding his face. "I have shown you a pathetic sight. How did we end up here?"

"The invitation shard that I have given you will always lead you to me," said Kar with a smile. "You used it in your despair to survive. Tell me, Lord of Lust, what have you done to enrage the Wrathful King?"

"None of your business," sneered Eros as he placed his hands on his hips, looking around the courtroom. "Where the fuck are we, anyway? You always wanted to be a king, but this looks like an abandoned court. Have you invaded another country?"

"You ask too many questions for someone who doesn't answer them," said Kar as he raised his hand, and his countless vampires surrounded them. Spades rushed to stand and prepare for a fight, but Eros simply raised a hand to stop him. "Answer my questions first."

"Are you afraid of the Wrathful King?" asked Eros with a smirk. "Is that why you want to know what angers him and what doesn't? Alright, let me tell you. I did the exact same thing that killed you in the previous timeline: messing with his gal. Happy, Kar?"

"…the Princess of Ice and Fire is here?" asked Kar with surprise, his head tilting in confusion as he pondered. "She disappeared a long time ago alongside her city. Is she here on Earth? Then, what about Ai?" asked Kar with some expectations.

"Who?" asked Eros with confusion. "I haven't heard of anyone with that name."

"…alright," nodded the vampire with some disappointment. "If Diana is here, then Arthur Netherborne is not invincible. He has a weakness that we could exploit. As long as her life rests in our hands, we will never fear him again."

"What are you proposing?" asked Eros with a grin. "I want to get back at both of them, so this suits me too. A temporary alliance between the sins doesn't sound bad when the enemy is that crazy bastard."

"I am proposing a plan that can give us what we all want," said Kar with a smile. "A ticket to Devaheim!"
