“Burn everything to cinders, [Flame Of Gehenna: Burning Fortress]” Lich Oz said the words with a small voice, but somehow, Vlad Dracula, his loyal butler, the five bloody generals, and all of his soldiers heard that small voice clearly as if he said the words right next to them.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoosh!
“Impossible…” Vlad Dracula exclaimed, shocked by the scene before him.
Raging flames suddenly appeared out of the thin air, enveloping the whole city walls with flame. Sounds of the crumbling walls and the cries from the soldiers above the walls could be heard by Vlad.
“S-such powerful magic… Impossible…” Vlad mutters as he unconsciously stopped his thoughts because of the shock.
“W-what are these flames!?”
“So hot! Agh!!!”
“it’s a devil!!! A devil is attacking us!!!”
Vlad’s soldiers shouted because of fear, not much different from Vlad, Sebastian, and the five bloody generals also got frozen in place because of the scene.
“…..” Vlad Dracula could only grit his teeth as he couldn’t think anything to handle the raging flames that completely surrounded his city and his citizens.
“M-master… What should we do…” Sebastian tried his best to collect his composure and asked his lord, hoping his lord will regain his composure too.
A vampire has a lot of weakness, but they’ve made sure their weakness stays as their secrets. But Lich Oz possesses the knowledge from the earth, and the vampire’s weaknesses are common knowledge on earth. Their weaknesses are metals, sunlight, and fire. A common vampire will die if they got exposed to the sunlight in a long time, but even in the fire, the heat of a fire could kill a vampire even if they had become as strong as Vlad.
But before his lord could answer him a response and give out an order, the terrifying being that made the walls they made to defend becomes a backfire for them suddenly make another move.
“Greetings, dear fellow denizens of death, the honorable and respectable creature of the night, the vampires. My name is Oz, and I’m here to shake this boring world of the undead. Join me, vampires, you should know that I could erase all of you with these flames with ease. But if you decided to join me, I could grant you an ability that will erase your vulnerability to sunlight and fire. I will also erase these flames that’s enveloping your walls. So will you choose to join me and got reborn? Or will you choose to die by my flames? It’s all your options!” Lich Oz’s voice resounded to the whole city, every vampire heard his words as they tried their best to bear the fire while their heart secretly got swayed by Oz’s words of removing their utmost weakness.
(Well, half of it is a lie, though) (Lich Oz)
Lich Oz silently smirks inside his heart, he actually didn’t know what kind of ability the system will give to the vampires if they join him, there is also the possibility that the system won’t grant the vampires any ability, but if it comes to that, Lich Oz also has a plan to convince them to join him with other play of hands.
Lich Oz observes the vampires’ reaction and got pleasantly surprised by the scene he saw. All of the vampires, the soldiers, and even the citizens tied their best from accepting his offer. Lich Oz suddenly remembers that vampires have high pride and loyalty to their lord.
(This makes them worth even more) (Lich Oz)
Lich Oz shifted his gaze to Vlad Dracula that wears an attire befitting a lord, Lich Oz could feel his great amount of mana, but Lich Oz confidently smirks as Vlad’s mana is not even the 3/4 amount of Lich Oz’s mana.
“Open Gate,” (Lich Oz)
Following Lich Oz’s words, the huge burning gate suddenly forms a huge and terrifying gate. The flames that form the gate slowly got even hotter while it’s color slowly turns black. Slowly, but surely, the gate opens. Vlad Dracula, Sebastian, and the five bloody generals could only silently watch the scene before them.
Silently, Vlad had regained his composure, but he could still feel the terrifying fear that tries to persuade him to flee. He silently thought all of the possibilities and measures what he could do as he stared at Lich Oz.
(Nothing… I could think no way out!) (Vlad)
(Even if all of us fly, the citizens and the soldiers could only change to bats, but the flame’s heat will still be felt and only a few will survive. I can’t risk their lives for my cowardice!) (Vlad)
Vlad Dracula’s wife and his child suddenly appear inside his head. Regretting his weakness and his lack of training, Vlad Dracula clenched his fist with all of his might.
(I need to choose the safest option to save everyone’s life… This is my duty as their lord!) (Vlad)
“W-what?” Vlad Dracula suddenly exclaimed in surprise once more.
Not only Vlad, everyone witnessing the scene gasps and tremble in fear. Lich Oz is slowly walking through the burning hell’s gate and in a relaxed demeanor. As if he didn’t feel any heat from the fire that makes even Vlad that had already have a high resistance to heat feel like the sun had shown up at Gravendath.
Feeling Lich Oz’s gaze, Vlad clenched his fist and resolute himself and slowly descend to the ground, facing Lich Oz face to face.
“””Y-your majesty!””” The five bloody generals shouted as they walk in front of their lord to protect him while trying their best to withstand the scorching heat before them.
“Please let me introduce myself, I am Oz, or rather, Lich Oz, I’m thinking of uniting the undead world of Gravendath. Are you the lord of this city, dear respectable vampire?” Lich Oz asked Vlad Dracula graciously with a courteous bow.
Seeing Lich Oz’s courteous behavior, Vlad Dracula responds in the same manner to respect him. Lich Oz observes the dark red-haired vampire before him that looked like a middle-aged noble. His face is handsome but pale as it’s the common trait of a vampire.
“I’m honored to meet you, lord Lich Oz, my name is Vlad Dracula,” Vlad Dracula answered with the same courteous bow like Oz’s.
“I’m here to invite you to join me, lord Vlad, But please forgive me, I couldn’t accept no as an answer. I’ve decided that you, the vampires will be precious and reliable comrades for me. So to avoid giving both of the side’s loss, will you and your subjects surrender and join me, Vlad?” (Lich Oz)
Lich Oz’s words somehow had a fascinating feeling, the way he talks gave people the feeling of his intelligence and couldn’t help but admire him. But for his enemies, they could only feel pressure from his words and leisure movements.
(It’s as if he’s confident he knows the absolute answer and as if he already thought all of the possibilities… My enemy this time is quite a monster, huh…) (Vlad)
“That’s quite a troubling and kind of forcing us in our perspective, dear lord Lich Oz,” Vlad Dracula answered with a smile, but Oz couldn’t help but get a little bit cautious because of Vlad’s smile that suddenly had his fear and caution gone.
(Oh well, if he got some hidden sleeves, it will be even more fun for me) (Lich Oz)
“I’m so sorry for that, lord Vlad. But it’s just a strategy to force you to accept my request anyway,” Lich Oz answered indifferently.
(Facing such a powerful opponent will only make me sacrifice my people, I need to live to ensure their safety! And it’s been too boring these days anyway, I couldn’t help but think that this man will really shake the whole Gravendath!!!)
“That’s quite a blunt statement you say there, lord Lich Oz,” (Vlad Dracula)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vlad Dracula’s butler, soldiers, and the five bloody generals got shocked when they saw their lords sudden action. Their lord kneels in front of the enemy!!!
In the custom of the undead hierarchy, subjects need to obey everything their master or lord decides, once a subject had devoted themselves to a person, they will serve that person until he dies, and if the person they serve serves another master, it means that that master is also their master that they need to obey more than their original master.
(Hm? he surrenders rather quicker than I expected…) (Lich Oz)
All of the soldiers, the five bloody generals, and Sebastian kneels in front of Oz while they still gritting their teeth because of the heat and because of the sight of their lord kneeling to their enemy.
“Hm… Let’s erase this to make you easier, [Disappear]” (Lich Oz)
Following Oz’s words, the burning flame vanished together with the scorching heat that been tormenting all of the vampires.
“Continue,” (Lich Oz)
“Master! If you make it disappear, you might get hurt if they suddenly attack!” Malistrode’s voice sounded.
‘You might get hurt’
Those words resounded on every vampire’s head.
(It means even if all of us attacks him at the same time, at best, we could only hurt him and won’t be able to kill him, huh) (Vlad)
“Malistrode, be quiet, it’s disrespectful to them,” Lich Oz’s slightly angry voice made Malistrode shudder.
Hearing Lich Oz’s response, Vlad suddenly got a smile imprinted on his face, vampires are a race that holds their pride high just like the elves. As they had great capabilities in both combat and magic, they hold their names in high esteem. And Lich Oz knows that. That’s why he avoids any disrespectful manner even if he far surpasses them in terms of power to make sure they don’t feel that their pride being stomped and mocked.
Knowing this, Vlad Dracula could only smile while feeling satisfied that the one who attacked them today is rather a kind person, different from the commonly barbaric undead.
“I, Vlad Dracula, the 32nd heir of the royal Vlad family kneels before you, dear the one who holds the absolute power. I’ll be your sword, wand, or even your shield when you’re in danger. Please accept my pledge, my dear king,” Vlad Dracula said as he pledges his loyalty to Lich Oz.
“I accept your pledge, Vlad. And I accept all of your subjects’ pledge too. As your new master, I appoint you not as a lord, but as a vampire king! I’m not a king, Vlad! I’m an emperor! Lead your subjects to prosperity and serve well before me, vampire king!” Lich Oz’s
