Chapter 2760: In the Middle of a Pentagram Formation…
“There are so many bats in here. There must be vampires here.”
Bats usually accompanied vampires.
Ning Shu felt the ground beneath her tremble a little. These bats were not attacking Casey, Touro, nor her, she realized—they were flying towards a certain spot.
Ning Shu hurriedly chased after them.
The bats were swarming into the basement. Ning Shu couldn’t be bothered to worry about getting dirty and quickly jumped down after them.
“Molly, wait!” Casey said after he saw Ning Shu running so quickly. “Be careful, it might be dangerous!”
He and Touro also jumped down.
As soon as Ning Shu jumped down, she smelled an overwhelming stench of blood.
Suddenly, the path ahead became spacious. Ning Shu saw an exquisite coffin, placed in the middle of a pentagram formation.
In the grooves of the formation was blood. The blood gathered ultimately at the coffin, which was covered with black bats.Vampires were kneeling around the coffin.
These vampires ignored Ning Shu, Casey, and Touro, and simply knelt. They had their upper body bent so low that they were practically on the ground. It was as if they were welcoming back something very, very powerful…
Ning Shu, Casey, and Touro felt that this wasn’t the time to make any rash moves.
The bats flapped their wings and slowly moved away from the coffin. A powerful force swept out of the coffin.
Immediately afterward, a hand stretched out from the coffin. It was as pale as jade, with no blood vessels visible on it.
Was it… a resurrected vampire?
Casey and Touro each grabbed one of Ning Shu’s arms and dragged her away.
Ning Shu had goosebumps all over her body. She could sense the extreme danger she was in.
She turned around and started pulling Casey and Touro to run faster.
The three of them left the church and drove away in a hurry.
Ning Shu turned her head and saw a person hovering in the sky, just above the church. He wore black clothes and a cape. Bats were flying all around him.
“Hurry up!” Ning Shu yelled at Touro, who was driving.
Casey was nearly about to yank out all of his hair. With reddened eyes, he said to Ning Shu, “Molly, we may have encountered something big.
“It’s very likely we saw the awakening of a third-generation vampire.”
Ning Shu: Goddamn…
Cain was the eldest son of Adam and Eve, who murdered his brother and was cursed by God for his crime.
After becoming an immortal who was forced to drink blood as sustenance, he met Lilith, who had been banished from the Garden of Eden. It was Lilith who guided him to wring great power from human blood.
With that power, Cain became the ancestor of all vampires. It was the beginning of this sinful bloodline.
Cain had done it out of loneliness. He used the internal organs of animals and his own blood to create five vampires, who formed the second-generation vampires.
In turn, the third-generation vampires descended from these second-generation vampires. The third-generation vampires were the most powerful generation out of them all; they even claimed that they could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the gods.
Thus they became the supreme leaders of the following generation of vampires and were known as the blood patriarchs.
Each of the third-generation vampires established their own families, which later evolved into the 13 clans.
Each third-generation vampire was the ancestor of their respective family.
At first, the thirteen blood patriarchs competed with each other fiercely, massacring other creatures to improve their own strength and that of their family.
They had discovered that a vampire’s blood could grant mortals immortality by turning them into vampires.
This started the prelude to the inheritance story of these vampires’ evil blood.
In the end, the thirteen blood patriarchs became mortal enemies. They fought endlessly for years and increased their bloodline without restraint.
The vampires called this war the Thousand Years War. Most of its victims were mortals, rather than vampires.
Although the flood God sent to sweep over the earth didn’t kill the third-generation vampires, they were severely injured and had to go dormant.
How (un)lucky must they be, for them to encounter such a thing!
Not to mention that there were thirteen of these third-generation vampires. Now that one of them had awakened, would the rest wake up as well?
If they did, would that mean the start of another war? Would they return to their massacring spree of mortals, turning these mortals into vampires themselves?
