"Uggh… Where am I…?"
Azriel opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.
Above him, there was a clear blue sky, and around him, everything was covered with a layer of white snow.
He then sat up and then started looking around.
He remembers this place.
It was the Forsaken Mountains.
Azriel then wished to look at his information and soon,
[Name: Azriel Ruinous ]
[Age: 20 ]
[Mana Cultivation: Master.]
[Body Cultivation: Master. ]
[Race: Primordial Vampire ]
[Talent: God]
[LVL: 29 --> 30]
[HP: 960/960]
[MP: 1190/1190]
[STR: 90 --> 92]
[AGL: 100 --> 102]
[VIT: 94 --> 96]
[STM: 84 --> 86]
[INT: 117 --> 119]
[DEF: 76 --> 78]
[Blank Points: 0]
'Huh? I broke through? Does that mean I cleared the Trial?
How did that happen? Wasn't I just about to take the Second Step? What about the Third Step?'
The more Azriel thought about it, the more confused he got.
'Lady Fer! The World's Core is acting strangely!'
Then he suddenly recalled what that Two Winged World Fairy said and frowned.
The World's Core was acting strangely?
Was that the reason he cleared the Trial without actually clearing it?
Does that mean he cheated?
Well, he was not the one who did it, it was the World's Core fault, so everything is probably right.
Azriel then shrugged his shoulders and observed his status again.
'20…'
He was 20 years old now.
Just like the fairy said, even after he trained for so many years, only a year is passed in the real world.
A small smile appeared on Azriel's face as he clenched his fist.
In this Trial, although he didn't gain much power with cultivation, he has improved a lot.
Azriel felt that fighting against that Primordial Frost Golem would be a lot easier now.
"Huh… I didn't know that you think about random things that much…
Or was it because you changed a little in a Year that you were gone?"
Suddenly, Azriel heard an extremely familiar voice. A voice he has been longing to hear for a while now.
He turned around as his eyes shined in excitement,
"Teacher!"
Luminia smiled, however, she did not expect Azriel to rush toward her and,
Pierce his canines into her neck.
"Tsk Tsk, to think you would do something like this without greeting your teacher…"
Luminia snorted, however, from the smile on her face and the way she was patting Azriel's head, anyone would know that she was happy to see her student as well.
Azriel didn't answer and continued devouring her blood.
For Luminia it was only 1 year, however, he has spent over 100 years in that place.
100 years without drinking Luminia's blood.
No one could imagine how hard it was for him!
After devouring her blood for a good while, Azriel finally calmed down. Luminia noticed that and then questioned,
"Are you okay now?"
Azriel started licking the place where he bit, Luminia's regeneration kicked in and his canine marks disappeared.
"Yes, teacher. It is nice to see you after so long…"
"So long? You are still a little boy huh… Indeed, for someone like you, 1 year is indeed a long time…"
Luminia nodded in understanding, however, Azriel shook his head.
"100 years teacher…"
"Huh? What?"
Azriel then recounted everything that happened when he entered the World's Core and the two of them had a long conversation.
"World's Core huh…"
Luminia muttered as she started thinking.
"I have never heard about something like that…" Then, she shook her head.
"Well whatever, let's not think about it anymore.
You got lucky or not doesn't matter, it was not like you were going to fail if you did it the usual way.
Maybe the World's Core already sensed that you will be able to clear the Trial and didn't bother to go through all those troubles."
Luminia shrugged.
What? It was a Trial that no one in the history of Yrniel could clear?
So what?
Do you not know how much of a monster her disciple is?
He can clear something like that with his eyes closed.
Yes, she was that confident.
"Indeed." Azriel nodded to her statement as well.
"Also, you became a Master Stage Cultivator, correct? So it doesn't matter if you cleared it or not, you already got what you wanted." Luminia muttered and Azriel nodded his head again.
"Alright, let's leave now. We have more important things to do."
Luminia spoke as she grabbed Azriel's arm and flew away.
A few minutes later, the Two of them landed in Luminia's garden where Ithania and Lilia were waiting for them.
Seeing Azriel, a small smile appeared on Ithania's face and then she snorted.
"Tsk Tsk, to think it would take you a whole year to complete a simple Trial… Disappointing indeed."
Azriel's mouth twitched when he heard her words,
"Why don't you go and clear it in less than 1 year then?" She retorted.
"You are the Brawns, not me, if there is anything related to using your head, you can tell me and I will show you how it is done." Ithania shrugged her shoulders.
"Sure sure… I am sure you can clear it…" Azriel shook his head and laughed.
"Huh!? What's with that chuckle you brute!?" Ithania roared.
"Hu-"
Azriel wanted to retort again, however, he realized that he was now 100 years old, and he is much more mature than this little girl.
He shouldn't fight her like this.
"Tsk Tsk,"
In the end, Azriel just snorted and turned around.
"Hey! What's with that snort!?" Ithania questioned in rage.
Azriel, however, completely ignored her presence and turned toward Lilia,
"It is nice to see you again, Lilia."
A small smile appeared on the White haired woman's face and she nodded,
"It is good to see you as well, Azriel."
"Hey! Are you just going to ignore me!?" Ithania roared in anger.
However, Azriel, Luminia, and Lilia, everyone ignored her.
Of course, this only served to further irk Ithania and she continued to roar, trying to get their attention.
Azriel smiled at that childlike attitude.
The four of them then walked into Luminia's room and continued chatting.
Azriel has now returned.
From now on, he would go back to his usual schedule.
4 hours of studying, and 2 hours of sparring with Luminia, while he would do whatever he wants for the rest of the hours.
Of course, as a Training Maniac, he would use that time to train.
This was not the only thing they did,
Ithania and Azriel often left Luminia's mansion to gather more and more vampires.
They needed to build an army after all.
These all vampires would be fighting for Vampire's future.
Cultivation, training, and recruiting people.
These were the only things Azriel did and time passed by smoothly.
Of course,
With Azriel's monstrous talent, he didn't stop at Master Stage Realm for long, Grand Master, Expert and then the King.
Yes, in just 20 years, he became a King Stage Cultivator.
Not only that, his army had grown to 10,000 vampires with 8000 plus Vampires who have gone through Purification!
The progress was good indeed.
Azriel wanted things to keep going like they were going, however, the absence of 10,000 alerted the other races.
Search operations were started and recruiting Vampire became harder.
Luminia continued killing the beings who arrived near her mansion, however, this cause another problem.
Other races locked on Luminia's mansion.
Every being sent here disappeared, it was suspicious.
Then, a big expedition team was sent here as well, however, in front of Luminia, that team was nothing more than a slightly higher number of mobs to kill.
Which she did within 1 minute.
However, due to this action, the other races were sure,
Someone was protecting the Vampires, and all the vampires were living in this place.
Of course, what would they do?
They are going to suppress the Vampires and capture them all again.
Slaves were born to be Slaves, no one can change that fate.
All four races, Humans, Beastmen, Dwarves and Elves decided to forget about their grudges and come together to fight against the vampires.
Of course, this big movement wasn't missed by Azriel and the others.
The four of them were in a meeting right now.
"So… what are we going to do?" Ithania questioned with a serious look on her face.
"Huh? Is that even a question? We will fight them, of course." Azriel was quick to answer.
"I and Lilia will not help you two. There won't be any meaning to this battle if we participate, you would have to figure things out on your own." Suddenly, Luminia declared.
Azriel's face turned serious, however, then, he nodded.
"Alright, it would be a good way to test our Soldiers."
"Indeed."
Ithania agreed.
Then, Azriel's blood-red eyes shined.
"It is faster than we expected, however, if it is a War they Crave,
Then War, they shall get."
Azriel announced.
And thus, the War between Vampires and all other races started.
Again.
