Chapter 564 Battle Aftermath
Fire Throne, dragons, vampires.
These words that usually had nothing to do with each other instantly became the hottest buzzwords in the region, immediately attracting the attention of countless people.
Head of a vampire family to the southwest of Zhentarim, Third Grade Haines Vik had raised the flags of revenge and led his family in a determined invasion against Greem’s Fire Throne. The Zhentarim Association had consented to this attack due to the incident in Rose Manor and the silent consent of the Sarubo leaders.
A Third Grade vampire led the group, with two more Second Grade vampires and dozens of First Grades in the group. Power of this level was more than enough to raze an ordinary small-sized clan. It was a powerful army that couldn’t be underestimated, even for some mid-sized clans with insufficient accumulation.
Yet it was an army like this that broke their heads upon the adept’s tower of a lesser known Second Grade adept.
A mighty Second Grade dragonborn, and a terrifying Third Grade thunder dragon.
These wholly unexpected and strange creatures had all appeared in that rural adept’s tower. The psychological impact was immense.
Gargamel had thought the lives of all within Fire Throne to be foregone when faced with this tremendous crisis. He had already prepared himself for the death of his body and the extermination of his soul. Yet, who had expected his fantastic master Greem to convince the dragonborn and the thunder dragon? Greem’s actions turned them into the shock troops and powerful reinforcements of the tower at the most pivotal moment.
A Third Grade vampire couldn’t possibly beat a Third Grade thunder dragon, no matter how strong he was.
Casually dispatching multiple human adepts of the same grade was no problem for a dragon, with the renowned individual strength of their species. In fact, the more powerful dragons could even challenge individuals of superior grades. It seemed to be an unbelievable feat that only powerful creatures like the dragons were capable of, even throughout the entire high-magic multiverse.
The crisis today had helped Fire Throne get rid of a spy among their ranks. That was unquestionably beneficial for the development of Greem’s faction from here on out.
Rewards were naturally due after a victory. During the banquet, Greem personally declared that he would form a new adept clan and that everyone present was going to be core members of this new clan. That included Medusa Dana and the manticore leader.
They would cast away their identities as magical creatures and become official members of an adept clan. As long as the Zhentarim Association acknowledged this adept clan, they would also be granted the status of adepts.
Greem announced the name of this new clan before the eager and anticipative crowd– Crimson!
Greem was a fire adept and excelled at fire spells. Crimson was a fitting name.
Thus, Greem’s name would be updated to the new Greem Crimson.
And he would become the powerful Crimson Adept!
…………
A secret room on the fifth floor of Fire Throne.
Greem had arranged the room into a proper scene for a mysterious ritual.
While the happy adepts and apprentices were still celebrating in the hall on the second level, Greem brought Mary and Leicester here. Waiting inside for awhile were Alice and her fairy Helen, who had specially teleported over from the Tower of Fate.
“It’s you again, you heart robber. Can’t you be satisfied with having Alice? To think you went and seduced another female vampire. Do you not know that all vampires are twisted and sick?” Helen immediately flew up to Greem when she saw him, drawing a ribbon light across the air as she did so. The fairy put her hands on her hips, pointed at Greem’s nose, and started reprimanding him.
This sudden accusation caught Greem by complete surprise.
Right now, he was cradling the unconscious Mary in one hand, while dragging the bound Leicester in the other. He opened his mouth several times and had no idea how to defend himself against this righteous fairy.
“Helen, don’t go flaunting your unreasonable theories! It’s not your place to intervene in our relationship,” The smiling Alice slowly stepped forward and took Mary from Greem’s arm. She asked curiously, “What’s happened to her?”
“She drank too much blood from the thunder dragon half a month ago. She’s been sleeping like this ever since. I can’t get her to wake up no matter how I shout at her.” Greem awkwardly explained.
“The bloodline of the vampires courses through her body, and we still need some magical facilities unique to the vampires. Fortunately, I brought a Blood Coffin with me. Otherwise, most of the power would simply disperse. It would have been a great loss for her.” In public, Alice still appeared to be as domineering as before she advanced to Witch of Fate. However, her behavior in private interactions was far more gentle and thoughtful than before.
Blood coffins were magical items unique to the vampires. They could help vampires concentrate and purify their bloodline. The only drawback was their high price, making it such that only high-grade vampires had the privilege of using them.
As the leader of the Witches of Fate, there was no doubt that the Blood Coffin she brought with her was of the highest quality!
