The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 57 57: Deception And Trust

Lord Carlisle and Lord Severis stepped out of the Arena, only to watch a young man roaring in rage. The body of a Vampire was lying on his feet.

"That's him! Alazar! The bastard that destroyed my Castle! What luck! He's right before me!" Lord Severis licked his lips in excitement as he took a step toward Atlas.

Lord Carlisle stepped before Lord Severis, stopping him. "I think you should wait for a little while."

"Why?" Lord Severis gazed at his friend in confusion. After a long time, he had his enemy before him, and he was being told to wait?

"He doesn't look to be in his right mind." Lord Carlisle smiled. "It is clear that he is under the influence of Bloodlust. We should observe his fighting skills under Blood Lust. It's better to see just how strong he is now before we make our move."

"And how will we see his true strength? He is fighting against your ordinary Vampires? Can they even make him bring his true strength out?" Lord Severis inquired. "I can do that, and I can destroy him in the process. It doesn't matter if he's under Bloodlust! I will tear his head off!"

"I know you can, but what's the hurry? Just wait for a few minutes. As far as my Vampire are concerned, they might be weaker than me, but they certainly are very strong. They can definitely make this person use his entire strength! Especially since this guy is under the Bloodlust and won't hold back. He isn't sane emotionally." Lord Carlisle grinned.

"You said he was on the same level as us? Apparently not in intelligence. What kind of Clan Leader will make a Rookie mistake like letting them fall in Bloodlust?" He had already started underestimating Atlas for his stupidity.

With that kind of intelligence, he didn't believe Atlas could be a threat to him ever.

The Young lady who had been sitting with Carlisle also came out, surrounded by the Vampire Guards.

She stared at Atlas in the distance, only to have her eyes widen in surprise. She recognized the man. Wasn't he the one who she met in the forest? She had thought he was killed by her guard, and it was his blood there, but he was still alive?

"So he killed him...? He was a Vampire all along, but he hid it in the forest. But if he really had the strength to kill the Commander of my Guards, he must've had the strength to take others out, yet he went on his knees to avoid a conflict?"

"A Vampire that took a step back from the conflict despite having the strength to fight back? Why would he be fighting now, right before everyone?"

There were thousands of questions floating in her head. On the one hand, she was kinda grateful to him that he didn't forget back or hurt anyone in the forest. On the other end, he was doing something even worse and killing people here?

She didn't know what to think of him. She had seen two sides of Atlas, and both of them were so different.

Lia also stopped in the distance, far away from the battle, observing everything. She couldn't believe her own eyes. Atlas had not only killed a Vampire, but he also drank blood... He wasn't a Werewolf, as he told her. Instead, he was a Vampire and hid it from her.

She clenched her fist as she realized that she had been lied to. She couldn't believe she was fooled by a blood-sucking Vampire. All his actions, all his protection, all his care were a lie to deceive her, she thought.

Instead of trying to help Atlas, she started stepping back and leaving this place. She didn't want to be here a second longer than she had to. Instead, she decided to use this distraction to enter the Carlisle Castle.

Because of this commotion, almost all the Vampires in the city are going to be here. The security of the Carlisle Castle was going to be almost negligible.

Even though she was lied to and hated Atlas now, she didn't hesitate even a single second in using this opportunity as she ran toward the Carlisle Castle to steal the Book of Lilith, unaware that Lilith herself was siding with Atlas at the moment.

While Lia ran away from the zone of conflict, quite a lot of Carlisle Clan Vampires were running toward that place, but they weren't alone.

There was another person who had just arrived to help Atlas.

Lancaster had just reached the City. He stood outside the border wall. Having just awakened his Royal Bloodline, he was buzzing with strength. Now that he was strong, he knew he couldn't be a burden on Atlas.

Instead of running away like a coward despite having strength, he was back to help Atlas save his sister. That guy had saved him when he was about to be killed in the restaurant, accused falsely. Atlas had proven his friendship, and now it was his turn to do the same.

Lancaster strengthened his arms firmly as he planted his feet firmly on the ground before jumping with all his might.

He placed his hand on the top of the wall and pulled his body to land on the same spot where he had last seen Atlas before leaving.

"My dear friend, I'm fact, and I'm not weak anymore. You helped me before and now let me do the same for you."

He jumped off the wall, landing inside the city of Sagos.

There was still a question in his head. In such a huge city, where was he going to find Atlas? He could be anywhere.

Fortunately, he didn't need to struggle for too long to locate Atlas. As soon as he stepped onto the main street, he could see people running, closing their shops. There was complete chaos here.

Lancaster wondered what was happening. Why was there so much commotion?

He stopped one of the men who was running away. "Excuse me, why is everyone running away?"

"Don't you know? A stray Vampire has attacked the city! Everyone is running so they can hide inside the house just to be safe since the entire city will be under lockdown soon so that Vampire can't escape. You should run too!" The man roared firmly.

"A Stray Vampire?" Lancaster exclaimed in surprise. He realized just who could that person be, but he didn't understand why Atlas had attacked the Vampires? Was he discovered and had no option but to fight back?

"Where did this happen?" he asked the young man.

"Right at the entrance of the Arena. All the Vampires of the Carlisle Clan are going there. His Majesty himself is there. That Stray Vampire has no chance to escape alive, but just to be safe, we need to hide! You should hide too!" The man exclaimed before he ran without stopping.
