Chapter 53: Vampire City

"Yes. I can provide you proof that you are my mate in front of the whole Nar realm. 6 ice nights from today, the Battle of Wit will begin. In the last Battle of Might, you challenged every race in the realm to join hands and fight you alone. After the conclusion of the battles, I will gather all the races together and give you the evidence you need. But for now, can you stay with me?" Luke asked her with a gentle, pleading look.

Having decided to play along, Sailles slightly nodded.

Although her attitude was still cold, Luke perceived the change in the tense atmosphere.

He felt that she was no longer as guarded against him.

He felt that he made a major leap, since he at least saw an improvement, feeling ecstatic.

And for the evidence she asked, he felt that since he had a plan to cover it, he had everything under control.

"If I may be so bold as to make this request, I would like to take you on a tour of the Vampire City. Although it is not as beautiful as the Floating Flame Island of the Snake clan, I can assure you that you will not be bored."

With a delightful look on his face and a dark glint in his eyes, he smiled and gestured in a 'please' manner towards the sprawling Vampire City.

Unfortunately, Luke was unaware of the fact that while he believed to be playing the girl, shaping their future, he was actually being played as well.

Because the girl he considered to be under his control, was actually controlling the whole situation!

Sailles followed Luke through the bleak and dull streets of the Vampire City.

The brick red, black, and gray buildings did not have much of an attraction, seemingly old and decayed with the passage of time in the harsh environment. The fields were devoid of life, lacking the twittering and scattering of little creatures and plants that were usually found growing in the flowing lava and cracks.

The only saving grace was the clean black stone floor, even if a little cracked from the ice flames flowing beneath them.

Fortunately, the sparse races of slaves and servants littering the walls as they went about running errands, setting up stalls, and displaying unique and exotic materials from the flaming caves, valleys, and seas made the bleak atmosphere a little colorful.

In the center of the giant city, a large crowd of vampires gathered together in front of an open wide plaza, talking about the shortages of resources and difficulties in finding feeding sources for the elderly vampires.

As the days passed, securing food sources became tougher and tougher, resulting in the vampire elders council deciding to change the distribution of sources according to merits. This dissatisfied many of the elder vampires who were no longer as capable.

"We have to find a way to keep everyone in the clan fed, or our clan will no longer be able to fend for itself within the realm. The longer we take to solve this feeding problem, the greater our predicament will become." One of the vampires in the center of the crowd, hollered, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"We cannot allow our elders to starve to death when they have strived for so many years raising and protecting us. Now that we have grown this capable, it is now our turn to take the reign and ensure that no elder or youngster within the Vampire City went hungry." As his voice fell, shouts and cheers resounded in the plaza.

"Yes! we can not let our elders starve!"

"We have to ensure the young grow full and healthy!"

"We must protect the clan!"

The surrounding races expressionlessly looked on as more and more vampires joined in on the cheer.

Any of the happenings within the Bloodsucking clan had no relations to them.

They no longer had any rights or liberty to fight for their race, as they fell into servitude and slavery the moment they got defeated in the Battle of Wars. Their home, occupied by other races, and their pride, crushed.

Most of them were still too distraught and despondent to care about the happenings in the realm. After suddenly facing a situation where they turned from individuals with rights and ability to losing all rights and serving as food or slaves to other races, the weak-minded committed suicide while the rest lived on listlessly.

They could not even vent their feelings as such reactions served to only hasten the extinction of their clan.

Therefore, the lesser races did not feel so much as sympathy or empathy towards the vampires' struggles.

Because whether the race got wiped out or not, it would not change their status. They would only be moved from serving the Bloodsucking clan to another race of the six supreme clans.

This was a realm where the strongest reigned supreme while the weak groveled and served.

Luke, who was aware of the Bloodsucking clan's difficulties, moved into the crowd, arriving in the center of the group.

The crowd of youngsters instantly froze, looking at him with wide eyes and open mouths. A heartbeat later, one of the youngsters stepped forth in greeting.

"Supreme Elder, we feel honored by your grace. Has our little ruckus disturbed you? If so, please do not take offense!" The young vampire that was hollering earlier now meekly replied.

In front of the supreme elder that held the clan together, he was nothing.

Supreme Elder Luke was not only the longest living vampire but also the longest living beast in the entire Nar realm. His knowledge and experience were a fact that no creature in the realm dared to question or challenge.

And it was also due to the supreme elder that the Bloodsucking clan was able to obtain a spot within the ranks of the six supreme clans.

"It is no big deal. I am glad to see the youths of the clan coming together to support the elders. It is true that you need to ensure that the clan is fed, but before that, you also need to ensure that you have the strength and ability to accomplish that. So, how has your training been coming along? Are you fledglings confident enough to win? The Battle of Wit will begin within 6 ice nights."

Sailles watched the young vampires bow their heads in shame. Their sullen faces and flickering eyes enough testament to their situation. It was obvious from their behavior that they were not confident about their victory.

"Hhhm! Absolutely ridiculous! Instead of striving hard to increase your strength, you are wasting time here giving speech. Are you not aware of the fact that only the strongest ruled supreme in the realm?" Luke's angry roar frightened the group into trembling, their already pale complexions turning even paler.

"I am sure that there is a better way than shouting to get this fact into their heads, right?" Sailles could not stop herself from speaking up after seeing their miserable expressions.

However, her unintentional comment only served to attract Luke's and the young vampires' gazes on her thin figure.. Their fiery sight burning into her skin as hot as molten lava.
