The Accidental Vampire

A strange aura could be sensed, but only by the most powerful people in the castle. As for the weaklings, the aura was as good as non-existent.

The people in the hall, including the Franc Clan Members, wondered why Zhang suddenly looked so serious. Just a minute ago, he was looking like he was having the best time of his life, but now it was as if he had seen the worst enemy of his.

Not too far from the castle, even Atlas felt that aura. Even though his soul wasn’t on the same level as the others here, his body was still that of Castiel. He didn’t understand what this aura was since he had never felt that before.

He had faced Razil and Zhang, but none of them had an aura like this. He was sure that this wasn’t their aura.

“This doesn’t belong to Lilith either. Then who? Could it be Atlan? He has been freed?”

If this aura didn’t belong to Razil or Zhang, it made Atlas feel as if this aura probably belonged to Atlan. And if that was the case, that meant Lilith was successful.

“Did she destroy the Formation and free Atlan? There are still ten minutes to the deadline. That girl, she did it faster than we planned. Then again, as long as she succeeded, it doesn’t matter if she was hasty. What matters is that it was a success. Atlan is free, and the formation must be destroyed as well.”

Atlas was under a grave misunderstanding, but it wasn’t his fault. There were supposed to be only three people inside the castle who could have a powerful aura: Lilith, Zhang, and Atlan. Since it wasn’t the first two, that left only Atlan. If it wasn’t a Witch or a Werewolf, it could only be a Progenitor!

He wasn’t entirely wrong either. He was right that this was the aura of a Progenitor… However, there was something he got wrong.

A figure, hooded in a pure white cloak, had just entered the property of the Franc Clan, through the main entrance.

He had passed through the check post of the carriages. No one stopped that person. Or rather, no one could stop that person.

Multiple dead bodies were lying in the backdrop as the figure walked away from them.

The figure belonged to a young man who had short silver hair that only came to his shoulders. The defining characteristics of the man were his beautiful golden pupils.

He used his thumb, wiping the trail of blood that was trickling down his lips. The man had a young face and body build, making him appear like he was barely twenty.

Even though the man had killed so many mages, there was not a single scratch on his body or piece of dirt on his beautiful white cloak.

Even Zhang realized what this aura was. He had felt the aura of Castiel. He was sure it wasn’t Castiel. As for Atlan, he had him in his cell. That left only two people who could have an aura like this… Ramiel or Lucious.

Ramiel had an entire lineage of Vampires behind him. There was no way he was going to come alone. He would’ve had an army with him, even though he was strong enough to attack alone. Ramiel was more into showing off, after all.

That left only one option.

No matter which of the two it was, both the options were bad for him.

“Lucius!” Lilith and Zhang both muttered at the same time. The only difference was that Lilith kept her blouse so low that no one could hear what she said, even though they stood around him.

‘What is he doing here?’ Lilith grimaced. She still hadn’t destroyed the Portal. If Zhang went and activated the portal to call for backup, things were going to get messy.

Just as she expected, Zhang started leaving. It was unclear where he was going, but Lilith was sure that he wasn’t going to fight Lucius alone.

Even though Castiel was considered to be the most versatile and the strongest, Lucius was considered more vicious. In fact, he was also the one who actually killed her grandma in the past.

With each passing second, Lucius’s aura became stronger as he walked closer to the castle without a single care in the world.

‘Could he be here to save Atlan as well? But how did he find out? Even we only knew because Yovana overheard Zhang. Without that, we wouldn’t have known. There’s also no way that Razil would give away this location, no matter how many conflicts he had with Zhang.’

‘He isn’t here for Atlan! This must be the case!” Lilith finally came to a conclusion. She was sure that Lucious had another motive for coming here.

Still, no matter what his notice, she couldn’t let him spoil her plan! She needed to destroy the Formation first and save Atlan next!

Zhang left the hall, followed by the men, without any explanation, leaving a confused crowd behind.

Lilith knew he had no choice. She couldn’t be hidden anymore. She didn’t have time left. She needed to take action now.

She cast her invisibility spell on her, disappearing from the crowd.

The young mage who was accompanying Lilith was so distracted by what was happening ahead that he didn’t even realize Lilith’s disappearance.

However, there were many of the guests who saw the lady disappear before them. Their jaws dropped. However, they didn’t make any noise. They just rubbed their eyes, thinking they were seeing things.

After disappearing, Lilith ran to the door.

Two guards stood before the door, blocking it. Without them moving aside, there was no way for her to get past them.

Lilith had no choice but to remove her invisibility temporarily since she couldn’t use any other spells as long as she was invisible.

Her figure came into everyone’s view as soon as she canceled her invisibility spell. The two guards were shocked to see a lady appearing before them out of thin air. Even the man who was supposed to accompany Lilith was shocked. How did she get there?

She looked to his left. Just as he expected, Lilith wasn’t there. It didn’t take him long to put the pieces of the puzzle together! Lilith… She wasn’t a human! She was a Witch!

Unfortunately, it was too late. By the time he realized, Lilith was already at the door.

“Wind of Clearance!” Lilith waved her hand.

A powerful gust of wind sent the two guards flying in different directions, clearing the path for her. Everyone happened so fast that the guards didn’t even have time to respond.
