The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 56 56: Taste Of Blood

Atlas could feel the burden of the spell on his soul. The farther he reached in the spell, the worse he felt. He felt like his head had started getting dizzy even though he was only halfway in, but he didn't stop.

He persevered and actually completed his spell, which he was able to use on the first try itself for some reason, surprising even Lilith.

Even though Atlas was in her master's body, he shouldn't have been able to use spells that easily since most of the spell's strength came from the soul! His soul was that of a human, so it should've needed more attempts to succeed for the first time. Moreover, his mind was chaotic, yet he managed to succeed?

Even though it was the lowest tier spell, this was still a big achievement. She gazed at Atlas with a head tilted slightly to the right. This man... He was special.

The spell was complete. Only five minutes had passed since the trial began, and two hundred people were already out of the Trial.

The completion of the spell happened, and a white fog started covering the entire arena and stadium. The mist spread everywhere, slowly taking over the entire place.

Everyone's view was obstructed as visibility was reduced to less than a meter. Even the Vampires couldn't see through the fog.

The only one who could see through the spell was Atlas, who had cast the spell.

Lia also cast a spell to boost her vision so she could see through the mist.

She noticed that Atlas was missing from the Arena now! It was unclear where he went, but he wasn't here anymore.

She stood up in surprise. "What is he trying to do? This wasn't the plan."

She noticed the Vampires also getting into action as they surrounded the two Vampire heads and the young woman sitting with them to make sure they weren't attacked.

Atlas had cast his spell, yet he was feeling like his head was going to explode.

Utilizing the low visibility due to the mist, he ran straight to the door.

Unfortunately, a middle-aged man was standing right at the door.

Atlas appeared before the man like a spirit, grabbed him by the neck, and tossed him away before he pushed the heavy door open and ran outside.

As the doors opened, the fog followed him outside as well. The guards who were stationed outside to keep the place safe saw a figure coming or of the arena as the fog followed him.

The visibility here was much better though. The guards could clearly see Atlas. Through his clothes, they could see that Atlas wasn't a noble Vampire, yet he appeared like a threat.

A guard followed him from inside the Arena. "Stop him!"

Atlas gazes back at the guard, noticing that it was the same person she had just pushed aside. He didn't kill the middle-aged man, and now he had become a problem.

Unfortunately, his head was also pretty hazy right now. He was only working on his emotions which were a mess due to the stress of escape and being caught. Moreover, his urge for blood had actually started taking over his mind once again, even though he tried to make sure he didn't make any guard bleed.

The effect of the spell was certainly taking a toll on his head. He had avoided this for weeks. He even managed to resist his Bloodlust twice, but the third time was even worse.

Just as Lilith had spoken, the urge a third time was going to be way worse than he could imagine, and it had just started taking over.

Atlas' angry eyes glared at the guards who had surrounded him while pointing a weapon at them.

Not only the human guards but a couple of Vampires had also arrived on the site.

"Aren't you that weakling from the forest? You're still alive? You seem to have grown some balls; it seems," A young vampire said in a mocking tone.

Atlas just glared at the young man like a wounded beast. He was clenching his fist so hard to resist the urge to lose his mind that his palms had started bleeding, and he wasn't succeeding as well.

Lilith's voice fell in his ears. "It's too late. You can't resist the urge this time... Feast. Feast on them all and satiate your hunger. But once you do, remember, you might never be able to come back. You might be lost forever along with your entire city... It all depends on you now."

Atlas tried to resist even now as he looked for a gap to leave.

He could see a gap between two human guards. He ran straight through the gap, but before he could even get past the guards, the Vampires appeared before him.

The Vampires grabbed Atlas by his throat and pushed, raising him in the air before thrashing him to the ground.

They used so much force that a crater appeared under Atlas as he was tossed to the ground.

This was it... The final nail in the coffin. Atlas stopped resisting his urge and let his mind be taken over by his urges.

A frighteningly powerful aura came out of Atlas, which covered the entire city. The aura was so powerful that all the humans were immediately forced to their knees. Only the Vampires could stay standing, but even they felt a chill run down their spine.

"This aura! I can recognize it anywhere! It's that bastard! He is here!" Severis stood up in excitement. He had finally found the person he was looking for.

Carlisle also stood up, frowning. "He dares come into my city? He had selected a death wish!"

Outside the arena, Atlas had finally lost his sanity, leaving everything to his vampire Urges. He grabbed the Vampire's wrist, who had just attacked him, and pulled him closer.

The young Vampire couldn't resist the pull. Atlas was just too strong. Before he knew it, Atlas's teeth were stabbed in his neck as he feasted on the blood for the first time.

"First time drinking, and it's Vampire Blood... The chances of you coming back are looking even slimmer. It might be the final blow to your sanity, and you might never return. I wanted to avoid it so much... But maybe it's what's destined? After you're gone, my master will make a return... As for me..."

Lilith had already told Atlas that she drew strength from her master's body. Now that he had drank blood, his body had the energy needed for her to cast a returning spell. Finally, she didn't need to be a shadow anymore.

Lilith chanted a long spell to regain her real body.

At the same time, Atlas tossed the body of the young Vampire aside and stood up.

He glared at the bright sun with his emotionless gaze as he roared like a wild beast.

Lia also stepped out of the Arena along with more Vampires. Carlisle and Severis also came out, only to hear the roar.
