The Accidental Vampire

"Now listen to me carefully. I have something to tell you." Lilith brought her lips closer to Atlas. "Don't fight anymore. Just keep them distracted."

She made sure to speak in a voice that couldn't be heard by anyone other than Atlas. She didn't forget to take into consideration the hearing skills of werewolves as she spoke.

Atlas frowned. What did she mean that he needed to keep them distracted and not fight? What was the purpose of distraction?

He wondered if she wanted distraction because Lancaster was still inside. She wanted them to distract the others so Lancaster could have a safe route out?

It didn't matter what she wanted. What mattered was that she was really serious when she said it, as if it was something important to her.

"Fine." Atlas agreed.

In any case, now that he had Lilith, he was planning to leave. But now that she said what she wanted, he agreed to stay behind for a little since Lancaster was also important to him.

He noticed Zhang looking in a specific direction. He also glanced in that direction. As expected, he could see Yovana sitting on the top of a branch. Even though her face was covered in a mask to hide her identity, it was evident to him who she was.

"That girl really doesn't listen to instructions, does she?" Atlas muttered.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "I know a certain someone like that too." Lilith smiled wryly.

"Are you talking about yourself?" Atlas rolled his eyes. "Look at your condition. He hurt you so much. I can't let him go like that, can I?"

"You can. It's not the time. Just trust me. I'll tell you everything after I'm back."

"When you're back? Aren't you already back now?"

"Don't ask too many questions for now."

"Fine. But I want a complete explanation later.'

Since Lilith told him not to fight, that's what Atlas did. He didn't chase after Zhang, who appeared to be ready for a battle.

Instead, he focused on the distraction, and what better way to distract than through Razil.

He turned to Razil. "Is this what the Proud Kingdom of Wolves has become? Kidnapping innocents, torturing them, and blackmailing through them? Supporting a crime is no better than committing the crime itself."

Razil remained silent. He was a Proud Wolf who was rarely silent like that, but even he felt bad today. Something like this had happened in his Empire, and he let it happen just because Zhang was close to him.

Not only that, he couldn't even return Lilith to Atlas despite promising him. He had to take matters into his own hands.

He had never apologized to anyone before, but today he felt like he needed to. He had failed. It wasn't a matter of strength or weakness. It was a matter of dignity and morals.

"You are right. Something like this shouldn't have happened in our Kingdom. I am ashamed of what happened. I issue an apology to you. You can take Lilith and leave. I won't pursue the matter of your challenge. We won't fight you."ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"You won't fight me? Are you doing me a favor by stating that? After hurting Lilith, you all think a simple you won't fight me is enough to make up for it?"

"What do you want us to do?" Razil frowned. "Zhang made a mistake, but I won't hurt him either. He is a friend of the Empire. Similarly, you aren't an enemy either. So I'm letting you leave. As for Zhang, I'll take some firm actions to make sure something like this never happens in our Kingdom again."

"What actions? A scolding?" Atlas scoffed.

Inside the Castle, Lilith had already begun her search on the castle that was defenseless now. Only a few werewolves were inside the castle, which wasn't hard to about.

The longer Atlas could keep the others distracted, the more time she was going to have, yet she did her best, not taking any liberty.

She went floor by floor, looking for Atlan's aura. She even left a blood formation on each floor to check through the entire floor for the aura, yet she couldn't find anything.

"I'm sure Atlan is kept in this Palace, but his aura is non-existent. I'm sure it must be the work of the Witches who entrapped him. It won't be easy to find him like that. I'll need to capture a guard to get an answer."

Lilith was already on the lowest floor, casting another blood formation, yet she didn't have high hopes.

"Hmm? What's that?" As she completed the Blood Formation, she noticed something. There was something really strange going on on this floor.

At the end of the floor, she could see two Werewolves who appeared to be guarding a door. As for beyond that door, even the blood formation couldn't see. It was as if there was something around that door that was blocking her.

A smirk formed across her lips. "A secret place, huh. What are you hiding there, Razil? I suppose I might have some idea."

Smiling, Lilith advanced toward the door, feeling really confident that she finally had a clue about the whereabouts of Atlan.

And all that stood between her and Atlan were two Werewolves which she believed she could take out easily.

She was also slightly surprised that there were only two Werewolves kept there to protect Atlan. It wasn't as if this place lacked good warriors, so it was odd that there were only two. Then again, it had been a century since Atlan was trapped. It wasn't odd that after all this while, the Kingdom became confident enough to not waste too many resources over Atlan.

Through the end of the Hallway, Lilith noticed the two Werewolves standing before a majestic door. As she had cast an invisibility cloak, the Werewolves could've seen her. Despite that, the Werewolves managed to sense something strange. There was a strange scent in the surroundings.

"Something is wrong. Someone is here." One of the two men brought out his claws, glaring at the end of the hallway menacingly.

"As expected, you are very perceptive," Lilith muttered as she canceled her invisibility cloak since she couldn't use any other spell as long as she was invisible. Moreover, she was already sensed, so it was stupid to focus on hiding more than focusing on defeating these people.

"A witch! You dare?!"

"There is nothing I don't dare, young man. Also, thank you for standing in this narrow hallway. If it were a wider place, I would've had a much harder time with you two, but here..."

"Come, let the celebrations begin!"
