Chapter 126 The Beginning Of Chaos

Ever since the appearance of Victor in the lives of the vampires, they had been searching for a way to get rid of him. Searching would actually be an over statement, as they pretty much already had a way to do so. The only problem was that, it wasn’t as easy as just putting two and two together.

After Victor humiliated the vampires and showed his power, to which the vampires were unable to fight against, the elders and the vampire lord made up their minds and settled on a plan, and that was to call upon their ancestor. The only problem with this plan was that it wasn’t quite possible as they weren’t in their world.

Therefore, to achieve their goal, the need to speed up an already ongoing project rose, and that was exactly what they did.

Maybe ultimately, it was Victor’s fault for not being careful enough when it came to the vampires, and that was why the project could go on until completion without him knowing, but he couldn’t be blamed a hundred percent.

Under Current had some spies in the vampire ranks, and through them Victor could keep himself updated. The problem came from the fact that these spies held no high position or status in the vampire house, so vital information such as these didn’t get to them. He had relaxed quite a bit these few months. It had been a couple months since he first came out of the dungeon he was reincarnated in, around seven months, and one thing Victor had to believe was that he was kind of the strongest in this world.

..

“Today will be the day we move forward with the plan.” The vampire lord said.

They didn’t quite know whether they would be so unfortunate and Victor would end up popping in uninvited, so the vampire lord ordered for all the vampires to be present during the period of time the gate would be opened.

This month, they weren’t expecting Victor to visit at all, as they currently around the middle of the month. He was there to collect the bodies last month, and they were sure he would also come this month, they could only hope he didn’t come before the normal time. He never came ahead of time, but because of their operation, it had made them extra careful.

“Are all the humans prepared?” The vampire lord asked.

“Yes. They are all been kept in the holding room.” One of the elders answered.

“Hmm. Let’s begin.” The vampire lord said as he stepped forward.

Over before them was a platform that had a flight of stairs connected to it from the floor. The platform seemed to be levitating, and standing on it at that moment were three people. One of them was the Vampire lord, and the other was Sebastian, one of the elders. The third person was one of the Eldest Elders, Norze.

The platform had something of an alter at the centre that had engraved in it several markings and patterns that seemed otherworldly, even for the vampires.(Who are otherworldly)

Surrounding them and watching from below were the rest of the elders. No other vampire was present except for the elders and the vampire lord.

With everything in place, they started the ancient ritual.

Right from time, the vampires had always had a secret ritual they perform to be able to call upon their ancestors from their families. They mostly did this in times like this where they needed help defeating an enemy, or other times when they need to consult the old being for one thing or the other, maybe knowledge or whatever.

Directly below the platform was a deep pit that stretched down to the point where it appeared dark and as a void. Above the platform, Norze directed the vampire lord on what to do to carry out the ritual proceedings. That was actually his role there. This was such an old practice that even the vampire lord didn’t know much about the process involved in it. Of course he knew a little, but as for the whole process, he wasn’t knowledgeable about it.

After reciting a set of incantations for a repeated number of times, the vampire lord continued on to slit his wrist, enough for some blood to flow out and drop on to the altar. To keep the supply of blood going, the vampire lord controlled his regeneration to slow it down and allow for blood to flow out longer. Not many vampires could do this, and if it were for another, they would have to repeatedly slit their wrist to keep the blood flowing.

From his wrist came very dark red coloured blood of unusual viscosity. His blood didn’t flow like a human, but at the same time it wasn’t so thick that it wouldn’t flow. When the blood poured on the altar, it began moving on by itself, and after about a minute, completely moved to fill up all the spaces.

After that happened, the vampire lord glanced over at the elder, and in response the elder nodded. The vampire lord quickly covered his wound as it healed, then he took off one of his rings and placed it in a socket that had already been carved out, and immediately, the entire engraved symbols and markings started glowing and the blood within them flowed even more aggressively.

Just before the vampire lord proceeded into slitting his wrist, Melcior, who was standing elsewhere had pushed a lever that activated something, a sequence. He was the one in-charge of creating a means for them to open a portal that connected to their world. Without the portal, the entire ritual would be a waste of time and it would fail, so the success of the entire thing really depended on him.

Just before the blood on the altar started behaving strangely and glowing, the mechanics and magic that were connected to the lever had entered full drive, and only then did the pit that was under the platform where the alter sat light up with a purplish and bluish colour. The illumination created from it wasn’t blinding, but it was enough to reach the ceiling of the room that was at least 40 feet high.

After that, everyone waited for what was to come, and to see whether their only hope to end the oppression they were in would come through for them.
