Chapter 992: Vampires’ Rebellion
Chapter 992: Vampires’ Rebellion
By this time Arin and everyone from our side whom we brought here already prepared to fight. They have listened enough that there are vampires who have joined with the cult from just one vampire. We don’t know how many of them were there, but we’re not afraid to fight.
Even the centaurs already grabbed the weapons they carried with them. The vampires never really bothered to make the centaurs drop their weapons. They must be thinking that they are stronger than centaurs.
Unfortunately for them, our centaurs are not normal. They’re much stronger than when I first found them. I’m sure if it’s just a Vampire Duke, one centaur is enough to defeat it.
The only one who didn’t prepare to move at all was me who is smiling happily and neighing. Like a clown. Wait, I am a clown.
"So, you know that there are other vampires here who are related to the cult. And you didn’t bother telling me about it at all. Why? Were you afraid that if I found out that you’re already with the cult, I will kill you?" the Vampire King asked.
"No! I’m not with the cult!"
By this time, the Vampire Duke who seems to be the leader of the traitorous vampires is shaking his head. He couldn’t believe that the vampire in front of us was so stupid.
"He lied again."
And of course after saying a lie, a centaur will inform us if he’s telling the truth or not. And he’s lying. It means that he’s related with the cult.
And not just someone related to them thanks to the Vampire Duke who is the leader of it all. But directly involved. Because I don’t think that their leader would be stupid enough to tell other vampires that he has joined hands with the cult.
If that’s the case, then the vampire who talks shouldn’t even know if he’s saying the truth or not.
I have tested the greatness of Albert’s and the centaurs’ lie detection skill. It’s that if someone believes something to be the truth no matter what, their lie detection skill won’t be activated. And it’s also possible for the centaurs to think that the words they said to be the truth.
But for the centaurs to know that he’s speaking lies, it means that the complaining vampire was somehow related to the cult directly.
"Tell me, what do you guys want? Not the cult. But you and the other vampires who joined hands with the cult. What is it that made you want to the point that you joined hands with people like them who doesn’t think much about killing you?" the Vampire King asked.
Oh, with questions like that, I don’t think there’s a need for Arin to be the one asking. The Vampire King can take care of the questioning.
"I... I did not join with the cult at all!" the vampire shouted.
"That’s the truth," a centaur said.
"So you didn’t join the cult, but still working together with them?" the Vampire King asked the vampire.
"N-No, I didn’t work together with them!"
"Now that’s a lie," a centaur interrupted.
So asking them if they joined the cult or not is the wrong questions. Good thing the Vampire King noticed it already.
He’s smart. But he’s also stupid to never doubt the other vampires. That’s why it goes this far.
Being doubtful of your own subordinates is good. Because only then you will be able to see their real self and be able to trust them. But to be trustful one hundred percent without asking a question, that’s stupid. That’s why the Vampire King is smart but stupid.
In a way, I’m kind of stupid as well for trusting my own allies. Though thanks to Albert who can see through lies, I have easier time. And Albert won’t betray me since he’s my brother. This is me being stupid again, but it’s fine.
"Sigh... what a pain you are, King."
Suddenly, the Vampire Duke who had been silent most of the time spoke. He should be the leader of a faction here who disagrees with the Vampire King.
"I had enough of you. You might say that you’re doing things to get rid of humans. But I know all this time that it’s a lie. You just said it to gather everyone together. The one at fault is you! You should be eliminating all humans instead of playing house! This thing that you call cult, I decided to work together with them because their goal is the destruction of the world. Once we kill you and all humans other than the cult, I will destroy the cult myself!" the Vampire Duke said.
"That’s the truth," a centaur said.
Well, now we know what happened here. So he’s the leader of the group who disagree with the Vampire King.
One by one, the other vampires stood behind that Vampire Duke. Most of the vampires here. Only a few of them left with the Vampire King and his wife.
"I don’t need a centaur to tell me if I said the truth or not. I am telling the truth. You are not suited to be a king! The one who should be the king is me!"
Hmm? He hid his power?
Previously, he felt like a normal vampire. A normal Vampire Duke at least. He has that much power.
But now, he released his magic that held him back to the level of a Vampire Duke. He’s also a Vampire King it seems.
"So you’re a Vampire King as well. If you hate me that much, you should have left with the others!" the original Vampire King said.
Hmm... there are two Vampire Kings now. I’ll just call the first one I met is the original one.
"What about the others behind you? They believe you and willing to work together with the cult to destroy humanity?"
This time, it’s Arin’s turn to ask.
"Yes. They all agreed to destroy humanity with me. How about you join us and help me do it instead of helping humans? You’re a Vampire Queen. You’re worthy to be by my side," he said.
"I’ll pass. You’re too weak for me. And you’re not my type," Arin said.
There are some female vampires who joined them. So Arin’s charm won’t be enough to affect all of them.
"Then you shall die!" the vampire said with red face.
Oh, he just got rejected in front of everyone. Of course he felt embarrassed.
"Since you have shown me where you stand, you will be the one to die. But after we capture you," Arin said.
Capturing them all is the best idea. They didn’t join with the cult Maybe the three vampires from last night were. But not these ones at least.
Instead, they were working together. But these vampires will betray the cult in the end.
And just like that, a battle started. Arin was about to fight the other Vampire King, but the original Vampire King stopped her and asked her to let him fight the other Vampire King by himself.
"Please, let me do it," the Vampire King said.
"Sure. But it’s best if you capture him alive. I’m sure you have a lot of questions to ask. This is a Magic Restraining Collar. Wearing this will make him unable to use magic. Just in case he’s trying to contact someone else via telepathy," Arin said as she gave the Vampire King a collar.
"Okay. Then... I’ll ask the retarded centaur to protect my wife and the others who didn’t join them. Please," the Vampire King said to me.
"Is that how you ask for a favor? By calling me a retard? Well, that’s fine. But I think it’s best to let them fight. They seem eager to fight instead of just watching," I said as I looked at his wife and the other vampires who didn’t betray him.
They were ready to fight as well. I think they’re weak. But with me here, they won’t die.
"Is that what you want?" the Vampire King asked his wife.
"I think the Vampire Queen and the others she brought here is enough to defeat them. But this is also our problem. At least I want to do something," his wife said.
"Alright. Then, let’s fight," the Vampire King said.
"Are you done saying your farewell? If so, then just die!" the other Vampire King shouted.
It’s a big room. But with so many vampires here, it would be difficult to fight. Though that’s not a problem for us. We can just destroy this entire building.
"Vampires! Watch out of their bite! They might drink your blood as a last resort again!" Arin reminded all the vampires here.
And so, the battle has begun. It’s obvious who will win though. Their strongest vampire is not even as strong as the original Vampire King. But I guess the Vampire King still thought of him as one of his people. So he didn’t use his full strength and got many injuries.
The one who became the target for most of the enemies was Arin. It’s because she’s shown her strength last night. She’s already stronger than the original Vampire King.
Oh, and I also have some vampires surrounding me. I guess it’s time for the most handsome centaur to join the fight.
"Let’s go, Buttoria!" I shouted.
