The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 205 205: Offer

"That meant my son..."

A single tear appeared in his eyes as he realized what this implied. It meant that his son had managed to escape that slaughter and continued the bloodline... He didn't know what general of his descended Lancaster was, but it was evident that he was his own blood.

Even though Lancaster joined the battle, he was still not as strong as the Blood Lords as he was getting quite injured in such a short time. His clothes were covered in blood, but he didn't give the others an easy time either.

In the meantime, Vor was also attacked, but Lilith protected him.

"You idiot, come out of your daze. You can dream all you want when we win!" Lilith scolded Vor like he was a kid.

Vor actually came out of his daze and happiness, realizing that his descendant was covered in Blood.

His blood boiled, seeing Lancaster hurt. It reminded him of watching his clan being slaughtered before.

"You dare harm him!"

Seeing his descendant being attacked, a protective feeling rose in Vor's heart. He became even more bloodthirsty and fierce, making things even worse for the Blood Lords, who were already stunned to see the reinforcements of Vor.

It was as if it was actually a trap for them where they were surrounded from all sides. They also noticed that Ramiun wasn't here anymore!

Ramiun took a longer path to leave the city since he needed to check outside the city for Atlan. He was sure he was going to find Atlan there. After that, all he needed was to negotiate the return of the fragment from him in exchange for freeing Atlan, and everything was going to be perfect for him.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to leave the city, a person landed before him, blocking his path.

Ramiun stopped as well, finding a familiar figure. He had seen that person even before once, and he remembered that perfectly.

"You? Aren't you that Vampire who was in that small town?" Ramiun frowned. "Get out of my path. I'm in a hurry. I don't have time to play around."

"That's great. I'm not here to play around either." Atlas stood with his hands behind his back.

"Look kid, stop irritating me. Last time I let you leave even after you spied on me. Don't make me kill you right now. Go play with kids your own age."

Not even taking Atlas seriously, Ramiun continued walking. However, just as he reached near Atlas, a formation appeared around him on the ground.

Thousands of Vines came out of the formation, grabbing Ramiun's feet and his hand.

Atlas stepped closer to Ramiun. "Return what I want, and I'll go play with kids my own age."

"A spell? So you are taking the help of a Witch as well?" Ramiun looked at the formation under him. "If you think a spell can stop someone like me, I've never seen a bigger idiot. I'm still giving you a chance. Get your helper to stop this spell, and let me get back to my work. If I get serious, then you will really regret it."

"What will you do if you get serious?" Atlas asked, tilting his head to the left. "You will kill me? I'm afraid no one can kill me but myself."

"Give me the key Fragment that you possess!" He raised his hand toward Ramiun, finally telling what he was after.

Ramiun frowned. "The Key Fragment? So I was right. You really were spying on me. You heard me talk to myself there. No wonder you came here. But it's still useless. One key Fragment won't do anything. And even if it could, do you seriously think I would give you one? Anyway, the time I gave you is up."

Ramiun lowered his hand. Even the vines couldn't stop him from moving his hand. He inserted his hand in his pocket, holding a small piece of paper. With only one hand, he tore the piece of paper, activating his Talisman.

His figure disappeared, being free from the vines. He appeared behind Atlas, attacking with his entire strength.

"Slow." Atlas also disappeared, appearing behind Ramiun. Ramiun needed a talisman to disappear, but he could do it without any talisman.

The abrupt teleportation stunned Ramiun, but before he could react, he felt someone grabbing his neck from behind. His body was raised in the air as a hand entered through his back, reaching his heart. He could feel that cold hand holding onto his beating heart.

"I won't ask again. I'll count to five. If you don't give me that fragment, you'll become a part of the history without any future."

"I told you it's useless!" Ramiun yelled. He knew that his life was in Atlas's hands, but he still tried to convince him. If Atlas destroyed his heart, that meant it was going to be his death, so he needed to stop Atlas. At the moment, his life was in Atlas' hands.

"How about this? I will help you. The two of us can work together and gather more fragments that we'll need. We can share the benefits together."

"Remember, if you kill me, you'll never be able to get to other Fragments. And just one fragment will be useless. If you kill me, you'll waste a great opportunity. Don't do it! Think about the bigger picture.

"Sure. We can work together, but I'll be the one holding onto your Fragment. If you can agree, we can work together."

Just like Ramiun tossed a bait, not knowing that Atlas had the other three Fragments already, Atlas also tossed a bait to him. He believed that Ramiun was a scum kind of person. With his life in danger, he was going to agree with anything. He was even going to agree to work together and wait for an opportunity to backstab him. That's what Atlas wanted to use.

Even if Ramiun gave him the fragment, Ramiun could only believe that he could retrieve the fragment anytime as long as he was alive. Moreover, if they worked together, Ramiun was sure he was going to be with Atlas and was going to have plenty of opportunities.

"Fine! If that's what you want, I will let you hold it! We will work together!"
