RE:BORN Zombie

133 The Dunkans II

“It has been too long Dracula.” The head of the Dunkan family said as he approached the vampire lord of house Emrick in his throne room.

“It, has. Seems you’ve grown a bit since last I saw you? How’s your father doing these days?” Dracula asked, knowing full well about the situation, and this didn’t go unnoticed by the Dunkans.

“Hahaha,it’s been so long, but the first time we meet after a long time you decided to screw it, huh?” The Dunkan vampire lord asked, a bit unimpressed, but with a small smile on his face that exposed his razor sharp teeth.

“There’s no hiding our relationship, why pretend? Ramkish..”

Thing is the Emricks are more like the royal family of the vampires, as they are descendants of the origin vampire directly. Back in the day, vampires could reproduce amongst themselves and give birth, but they lost that along the line, and there exist some stories as to why that happened.

Though they could no longer reproduce their own, they gained another ability, and that one helped compensate for the loss of their natural reproduction as they could now turn other non vampire races into vampires. For whatever reason though, it only worked with anatomically humanoid creatures, and even then not all of them.

However, the newly created vampire inherited every property of their creator’s bloodline, so it in the end brought little drawbacks. From then on it all mattered just how much one could access the powers of that particular bloodline.

The Emricks had the power control blood and fire, granting them access to a vast arsenal of blood and fire magic, which are considered to be the strongest when it came to offense. All other vampires could use blood magic as it was like the basic thing rooted in each of them, but the real thing came with the different and other magic that they could use, which in the case of the Emricks was their fire magic.

Now, although the Emricks were the strongest amongst all other vampire families as their bloodline carried much strength and potential, it was only so in the old days when the fore fathers lived. Now of course, those they referred to as the fore fathers were dead.

Over the years as time passed by, a new family whose strength came to greatly surpass the Emricks emerged, and this family was the Dunkan family. Originally, they were the only family that didn’t possess any extra magic as the others, but it was believed that in the days of the fore fathers, the original head of their family who was still alive then made a deal with some supreme being not of their world, and by so doing gained the power to command darkness to their will.

No one knew for sure, but their fore father never returned from that journey, and they speculated that he must have given his life as exchange for the power his descendants gained.

The irony came when theEmricks began to produce less and less vampires who could assess the complete abilities and power of their bloodline, and by so doing got weaker as time went by, and their bloodline itself also began to weaken, stripping them of the title they once held proudly as the strongest. Over time, all they could really brag about was that they were of the origin, and that was it. Strength was out of the picture.

Though the Emricks faced this dilemma, another family only kept getting stronger as days, years, and centuries went by, and that was none other than the Dunkans.

Their power to control darkness worked completely and absolutely independent of their natural ability to control blood and blood magic, making them an unbeatable force. To give a testament of their power, they alone single handily exterminated the werewolves and drove several other bothersome races into extinction or hiding, and they were also a huge factor that played in the extinction of humans in their world.

They became known for their strengths fair enough, and no other family dared to say a word to them, well except for the prideful Emricks, but even then, there was a limit.

Ramkish didn’t waste much time lingering around the rats of Emrick and saw himself out. Most of their family members had the power to move through shadows as it was one of the most useful magic they learnt, so they didn’t need to walk all the way out. It wasn’t exactly battle ready, but as a transportation magic, it worked pretty well.

He needed no body to tell him that he wasn’t exactly welcomed to the Emrick’s castle. Unlike his father, his personal relationship with Dracula had never been smooth. Not to say his father was friends or close to Dracula, the only difference was that both men had a common respect for one another.

Dracula was unable to stop the Dunkans either way after they made themselves clear on what their intentions were. They were going to drink to their hearts’ content, as they put it, before they would begin thinking of saving some for later.

The Emricks on the other hand didn’t bother to inform them about a monster that lurked in the corner and was quite interested in vampires. Dracula himself could feel the strength radiating from Ramkish, and he could clearly tell that he wasn’t his match. At that moment, he could only wish that Ramkish run into Victor soon enough. With Ramkish’s strength though, he couldn’t say who would come out victorious. Either way, one would die in the confrontation, and the other would be left weakened, and as such plans always go, it would be the perfect time to strike.

‘That energy… He can’t even contain it well, and even then the level I am able to see through is still higher than mine.. He just needs to be taken care of.’ Dracula said in his mind, and he wasn’t the only one who made this mental note. No wonder Sebastian could only bring him back, it wasn’t so simple after all.

The wise will remain wise.

There was also the fact that humans’ here weren’t as weak as the ones back in their original world, but that didn’t matter much. To the savages like the Dunkans, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Back in the vampire Home world, the vampire house Victor was at had sent people to check the portal once more, as a different scout of theirs reported to have seen vampires from the Dunkan family heading that way. Apparently, they were only ten of them, so this guys were hoping to overpower them with numbers and deal a fatal damage. Not like they could just seat still after what the Dunkans’ just did. They were really shocked to see that all the guards outside their castle had disappeared without a single sound, and which family had the ability that fit that criteria?

The Dunkans.

Victor’s Demon shadow made sure to relate this information back to Victor, so he wasn’t too surprised when he saw quite the number of vampires leaving the castle on the second cliff. He had to wonder though, who the Dunkan family was and why this vampires feared them so much. They had to be quite the formidable opponents.

There was no need to think about trivial things at the moment anyway, as Victor had made up his mind on what to do.

Gaining more evolution materials was more important, and was after all the primary goal of this trip.
