Chapter 187 Upstaged
When Greem removed the defenses on the door, unsummoned the Lightning Giant, and walked out of the stone house, he realized that several adepts were also standing outside of their respective doors, looking at the crude tower.
The expressions on their faces were varied.
Seeing that Greem had come out, everyone nodded and greeted him, then went back to staring at the tower.
Just then, shockwaves caused by the spatial flux could be seen!
Several spatial folds, that looked like ripples on water, started to spread out in all directions. When the ripples reached the defensive array, the two forces clashed and sent out more ripples in other directions. There were already plenty of spatial shards all over the place.
Fortunately, the previously set up defensive array managed to prevent the spatial flux from spilling over, and prevented the shockwaves from spreading beyond the illusion barrier. Otherwise, with the intensity of the spatial shockwaves, the most powerful beings of this plane would have been able to detect the fluctuations of this area through the planar laws they had mastered.
The spatial flux became even more dense.
Everyone’s gaze jumped for a second. They clearly didn’t expect this Adept Muret that Sir Fügen sent over to so boldly rob Mary’s position of leadership here before he had even met Mary. Even though Sir Fügen had told them to aid this Adept Muret, the reckless and rude manner in which he was treating Mary had exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Keoghan snuck a look at Greem.
However, Greem was still smiling and looking at the night scene of the city below, as if he wasn’t aware of what was happening.
The youth that had come to welcome them was only a vampire spawn after all. His position was even lower than those blood servants that Mary had personally Embraced. Faced with the wrath of a powerful adept, he didn’t dare to argue or struggle, instead begging for mercy with all his might.
Adept Muret waved his hand and extinguished the fire having, relieved some of his anger.
The vampire spawn didn’t dare to delay. Immediately, it endured the intense pain and turned into a bloodsucking bat, flying down towards a spot in the small city below.
The others followed along.
The place Mary ‘received’ the others was still the same hidden bedroom as last time.
The well-dressed young nobles in the shadows of the garden, corridors, and corners gathered together to gossip, curious as to the identity of these mysterious guests that arrived all of a sudden.
Mary used her Embrace to turn the more powerful and influential people into her subordinates. The other group of vampires comprised mostly of young nobles were ones she created through other means. As for the vampire spawn with even inferior status, they didn’t even have the right to enter this hidden area!
The adepts entered under the watchful gaze of the numerous vampires, walking into the terrifying pool of blood Mary had specially ordered for herself.
The opulent and extravagantly large bed had now disappeared, replaced with a large, five-meter square blood pool. Mary comfortably rested in the pool, enjoying the service of four beautiful vampire girls around her.
One was softly massaging her arms, while another was holding a golden cup, waiting for her to take a drink. The last two were using toothpicks to send peeled grapes straight into her mouth……
It wasn’t spring water that was rippling about the pool, nor was it a warm and comfortable hot spring, but thick and viscous blood!
