207 Chapter 207: One Final Strike
“It looks like one of them managed to get away,” Luna approached Lilith. Amongst the bodies, one person was missing other than Ramiun.
“The oldest of them. I don’t think he will create much trouble, but it would’ve been good to kill him right here if we could.” Lilith nodded. “What about Atlas? He still isn’t back. Did he catch Ramiun? I’ll go check. You stay here with Vor.”
“I don’t think you need to go look for him. Here he comes…” Lancaster chimed in, pointing in the distance. They could see a man walking toward them, dragging a lifeless body.
“The old one… Looks like he couldn’t go much further either.” Luna smirked, watching who the dead body belonged to.
Atlas tossed the body with the group of other dead Blood Lords.
Vor also gazed in the direction everyone was looking at. As he looked to his right, he noticed another familiar figure. It belonged to a person he could never forget. The person who was like his friend and also a mentor at times.
“You’re back as well!” Even Vor returned; he had lost all his emotions other than anger. There was nothing in this world for him, but it was as if in one stroke, he had regained his family… Or at least what was left of it. He had Castiel, Lilith, Luna, and now Lancaster as well.
When Castiel had agreed to go to eternal slumber on the advice of Lilith, Vor had resisted the suggestion as much as he could, but it didn’t work. For the safety of everyone around him, Castiel decided to go to an eternal sleep. Vor doesn’t even know if Castiel could ever return.
The moment Castiel left, he had been extremely sad, but now he was quite elated. It was as if he had momentarily forgotten about all the pain he went through, only to lose himself in this happy reunion.
Atlas stopped before Lilith and Luna; however, his eyes remained on Vor, who was also looking at him. Vor was also another close friend of Castiel. Atlas didn’t know how to react. Personally, he didn’t feel any closeness to Vor since he was just a stranger, but he also couldn’t act like a stranger.
“So you finally decided to return… ” Vor stepped closer to Atlas, but before he could continue, Luna informed him about Castiel losing memories.
She told him that Atlas doesn’t remember her or the past. She described it as the side effect of such a long slumber and that it was temporary, possibly only lasting for a month.
Vor was taken aback after hearing of the memory loss.
He looked at Atlas and asked, “Do you really not remember me?”
Atlas shook his head. “I don’t remember you, but I’ve heard a lot about you from Lilith. She told me that we were somewhat close. But she said it was hundreds of years ago. Aren’t you a werewolf? How are you still alive? Also, why were you attacking the Blood Lords?”
“How long have you been back?” Vor asked Atlas, not answering directly.
“A few weeks?” Atlas responded.
“I returned a few days ago,” Vor answered. “Even I don’t know how I’m still alive, but it was probably related to some spells that were used to take me down.”
Vor told Atlas and the others about his past, telling them how the Kingdom of Wolves and the witches attacked their forest out of nowhere, killing them all.
“Only a few possibly managed to escape,” he added, glancing at Lancaster. “It seems they kept my bloodline alive.”
“In the sudden battle, I lost everything.”
He further explained how he woke up just recently and then destroyed the Kingdom of Wolves before coming here on his quest for revenge.
“The Vampires, Kingdom of Wolves and the Franc Clan… They all had a hand in my destruction, so I took an oath that I’m going to destroy them all. That’s why I came here. After killing the Vampires, I planned to go to the Franc Clan.”
“I don’t think you need to go anywhere now,” Lilith smiled.
“The Franc Clan is no more.” Atlas agreed. “We destroyed the Franc Clan. Not a single person from the Franc Clan is alive. If you also destroyed the Kingdom of Wolves, that only left the Vampires and all the Blood Lords are dead too. So your revenge should be completed now.”
Even though Lilith believed Vor, it was still somewhat hard for her to come to terms with it.
“I still find it hard to believe that you destroyed the Kingdom of Wolves all alone. How are you so strong now? I know you were strong even better, but not to the extent of destroying the Kingdom?”
” Either you became way stronger, or the Kingdom of Wolves became way weaker in the recent years. I haven’t seen them fighting, so I don’t know which one it is,” she further stated.
“The new generation was definitely weaker than the older generation. You are right about that. Even when I was fighting, I could feel that.”
“That aside, why are you back?” He faced Luna. “Didn’t you leave earth to pacify your family? You’re back, and Atlas is up, does that mean your family doesn’t want to kill him anymore? You managed to convince them?”
Since the group was back together again, it made him feel that maybe that problem was solved. If that was the case, then Castiel could actually relax without worrying about his friends and family.
“If only,” Luna sighed as her face lowered. “I came here after Castiel woke up. My family knows that he is up, so they are planning to attack earth again this time with one final strike. So I ran away again and came here to inform him about it.”
“You just love to run away, since you? First, you ran away from your home. Then you ran away from here without even consulting, and now again, you ran away from home. Then again, it’s good that you warned us. This time their attack can’t come as a surprise like last time!”
