It was the middle of the night, and Nux's wives were currently resting inside a tent they had created using a cloth given by Aisha. Obviously, since Aisha was the one who gave it to them, it was not a normal piece of cloth, it had the ability to cast a barrier around itself, the barrier that casts an illusion on others that the cloth and everything inside the cloth is not present.
Yes, this piece of cloth allowed Nux and his wives to remain concealed while living inside the middle of the Forest full of Dangerous Star Beasts.
Of course, there were several restrictions as well.
The moment the piece of cloth moves, the barrier will disappear and will only be activated 10 seconds later.
If the person already knows there is a tent here with 100% assurity, the barrier's illusion will not work.
A person with a strong mind will not be affected by the Illusion.
And if someone uses Mana to sense his surroundings, he would definitely find that something is there, and of course, after some looking around, he would obviously find out about the tent.
However, even after these many limitations, this Tent has helped Nux and his wives a lot. This past year, they only had to fight around 10 beasts while they were resting inside the Tent.
A great number considering that most of the adventurers who come to the Blood Continent die because of a night ambush by the Star Beasts.
However, Star Beasts weren't the only threat in the Blood Continent.
Actually, one can even consider himself lucky if all they encounter is a Star Beast. The real threat in this Continent is the race that this continent is named after.
And after living here for a year, Nux's wives have finally encountered them,
The Ruler of Night,
The Vampires.
Yes, right now, their tent was surrounded by 50 Vampires.
"Alright, let's keep this civilized, shall we?
You and I both know that we have surrounded you girls. You also know that that little barrier of yours is completely ineffective on us.
So why don't you all just come out so we can talk to each other like intelligent races?"
The one who looked like the leader of the Vampires spoke.
"You finally decided to show yourself."
Suddenly, A handsome black-haired man with golden eyes came out of the tent and spoke with a confident smile on his face, behind him, his wives started coming out of the tent as well.
With a calm look on his face, the man looked around and started analyzing the Vampires who had surrounded them.
49 Sages and 1 Great Sage.
It was definitely a strong lineup and was not something Nux's wives could go against, however, for some reason,
Nux looked a little too calm.
The Vampire leader, the Great Sage Cultivator, on the other hand, looked surprised when he saw Nux coming out of the tent.
And Nux noticed that surprise,
"Hmm? You seem surprised. What happened? You aren't going to say that you do not recognize me especially when you have been stalking us for 3 whole months, right?"
Nux questioned with a smile on his face.
"So you knew."
The Leader of the Vampire smiled as well.
The Vampire leader was a 203 cm tall man, he had black colored hair and blood-red eyes that carried a hypnotic charm, the man had a well-built, lean body, and his skin was pale white, two fangs could be seen clearly whenever he opened his mouth, his ears were slightly elongated, all in all, he was definitely had a striking face and he was not alone,
All the Vampires seemed to have above-average looks, which Nux had already expected since Aisha told him that alongside Elves and Sex Demons, Vampires are known to have striking features.
"You didn't really make it impossible to detect you." Nux smiled as well.
"I have to say, Human. You don't exactly seem intimidated."
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) "Well, you wouldn't have waited 3 months if you were here to harm us."
Nux replied, then, he glanced at other Vampires and chuckled,
"And you would have come with stronger people if you had wished to fight."
"Are you saying we are weak?" The vampire leader raised his eyebrow.
"I shall not answer that."
Nux replied.
Then, he glanced at the Vampire and spoke,
"I will say one thing though,
Do not trust what your eyes saw."
"…"
The Vampire leader narrowed his eyes as he observed Nux.
That meaningful smile on his face, it was as if… Nux was trying to tell him something…
"Alright then, as you said, let us stop with these games,
My name is Cassius Lactuca and I work for the Bloodheart Family."
"Nux Leander."
Nux introduced himself.
The two nodded at each other,
"I am here because my Lady has heard of your group and she personally wishes to see you all."
"You are saying that you want to take us to the underground Blood Kingdom?"
Nux questioned with a frown on his face.
This was not what Aisha told him.
The Vampires never invited anyone inside their Kingdom.
Like Dragons, they weren't exactly a friendly race either, and it seemed especially true for Humans, who had a bad history with them.
"Yes, that is correct."
Cassius, however, didn't notice Nux's confusion and nodded with a casual look on his face.
"But I was told that Vampires never invited humans inside their Kingdoms. They said that Vampires don't have a favorable impression of us humans."
Nux questioned.
"Hmm? Well, that is only true for normal Vampires. Normal Vampires are not allowed to bring Humans inside the Kingdom, yes, but worry not, we have the authority to do so.
You can trust my words, once we are inside, no one would dare to lay a finger on you.
I personally assure your and your wives' security no matter how your talk with my Lady goes."
Cassius spoke with a confident look on his face.
Nux's eyes then fell on the Emblem that was imprinted on Cassius's clothes, he looked around and noticed that the other Vampires had the same emblem on their chests as well.
Nux realized that it was the Emblem of the Family they served, he glanced at Cassius and then questioned,
"This Lady you mentioned,
Is she a Noble?"
