Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 311 - Discussion Before Entering The Gate

-----

Acathea was defeated in the easiest of manners, her pride completely stripped of her as each of her limbs was detached from her body.

Noah might have a wife and two children that might be about to be born, but he had not become soft at all. He was still ruthless and rather sadistic sometimes. Teaching someone bold their place was something he enjoyed rather thoroughly.

After that, he converted her into a Dhampir by injecting his own blood through his fingernails into her bloodstream, and she slowly regenerated her limbs back.

Noah asked her on her first mission to eat her own limbs and then to go gather with the rest of the subhumans.

She nodded obediently, although he could tell within her eyes that she was terrified now…

What a way to break the spirit of someone…

But Noah knew that she wouldn't be like this forever, she had a strong spirit, and that strong spirit would quickly reforge into a new and even stronger one. Using this strength, she might become a nice and fitting soldier for him.

After that, Noah had a small meeting with Rodrigo and Lumis, where he and those of his group spoke about what was within the Gate and the history of these subhuman tribes and their correlation to it.

"You see, Master, it seems that the Subhumans here pray to a "Thunder God"…" said Rodrigo.

"And this Thunder God is most likely the creature that emerges from the Gate and then goes back every 4 months, apparently," said Lumis.

"A Thunder God…" said Noah.

The Blood Servants of Varus and Vayu emerged at each side of his shoulders as small crimson-red phantoms.

"My lord, it must be another of our siblings, Indra, the former Draconic Father of Lightning and Thunder!" said Vayu.

"Hm, I thought the same." Said Noah.

"But wait… Would it not make sense? Indra was imprisoned by Vritra when he separated in half and give birth to him!" said Varus.

"You're right… Then how did Indra ended here? Wasn't he imprisoned?" wondered Vayu.

"Wait, could this imprisonment be this dungeon itself?!" asked Varus in surprise.

"Hm, it is certainly a mystery. But we'll have to find out when we get inside. No point in talking about theories," said Noah.

The two Draconic Fathers nodded obediently at the words of their lord, as they decided to hide for now.

Acathea had come back after eating her limbs, she seemed a bit more composed this time.

"We had been praying to the Thunder God for years. Whenever he comes, storms form above the skies and water comes from them, raining and bringing the precious water that we often lack for our daily lives and crops," said Acathea.

It seemed that the Boss of this SSS-Rank Gate was harmless against these people, and they even saw them as a God that brought harvest through the rain it provoked by emerging.

This was perhaps a very unique case, Noah had not seen such a thing before in his entire life, all the amount of information he had learned from all around the world, this was the first place where people actually prayed to Bosses as if they were Gods… Most of the time, they were seen as monsters and calamity bringers, but never as a good thing.

"The strangest thing is that he has never attacked the locals… so they also called him a guardian because his presence and storms scare away other weaker monsters. This place is called a holy land due to this, the essence that the boss leaves in here is so strong that the monsters don't approach as much," said Rodrigo.

"Interesting… Well, Vayu and Varus had not attacked humans either… So maybe these Dragons are good-hearted?" wondered Chaos.

"Well, I would have killed them whenever I had gotten out of the dungeon, but that only happened after I became your servant, my lord, and you said that I should not," said Vayu.

"I would have killed humans if they were in front of me, but I emerged in an area without them. My children, however, devoured anything that emerged. And well, sometimes I also ate them," said Varus.

Indeed, the Draconic Fathers were not good-hearted people, Varus nonchalantly admitted that he did eat his children…

Perhaps Indra might have a reason behind protecting these people. Or perhaps he never realized they were here because they were like ants or bacteria to him. As we grow old, we begin to not care about what is below our feet, such as this, only children can see the ants below our feet have fun, but when we age, we forget about them and we never truly look for ants, we merely ignore them, knowing as a fact that they cannot affect us in any possible way…

Noah considered all these possibilities but already got bored of thinking something that would ultimately be useless in the end.

"I don't care. Let's go kill him and get done with this," he said, surprising a bit everyone, but everyone then nodded, knowing that their boss liked to do things fast.

"Right, I guess it doesn't matter what he is and what he does, at the end, we will kill him and then he will become a blood servant. After that, we can get all the answers we want," said Arthur.

"Indeed, there's no point in wasting any other second, let's go," said Noah.

"My lord is as efficient as always!" said Clementina, with a fascinated expression.

The group quickly walked towards the Gate as Rodrigo and Lumis, who were SSS-Rank, decided to remain outside to look for any monster that might rush outside.

"Good luck, my lord!" said Rodrigo.

"Get 'em!" said Lumis.

Noah mostly ignored them as he was no child to be cheered like this. The only one he let to cheer him childly like this was his wife and perhaps his future children, but anyone else bothered him, so he ignored them.

"Hahaha… Is it my idea or is our lord colder today?" wondered Rodrigo.

"I think it is because Lady Iris is soon to give birth, and he might be nervous… He wants to hurry up with this so he can go back to her," said Lumis.

"Right…" said Rodrigo, as he saw Noah and his group enter the Gate…
