Chapter 280 : You Kill Me Dog

Lady luck came through for him this time and finally, he got something, a little progress. the moment Orion took out the picture of the beautiful girl, who just happened to be the only non-magical picture there, he finally found the keyhole which he was looking for.

Quickly taking out the key from his pocket and using it to see whether this gonna work or it was a just false hope.

And to his eternal bliss it worked, he was effortlessly able to twist the key after he put it inside the keyhole and open the secret door which was already inside a secret office.

'Sigh, which son of the bit** designed this place.'

After finally the secret* door opens he enters the place with expectations building up.

At first, he thought that the place would be just as good as the office but to his disappointment, it was nothing close to that, it looked like a laboratory and a training ground with magic magical artefacts lying around.

'Strange, don't I already have some of them within my pendant ?' Orion pondered, he himself wasn't sure but he had seen a few of the things he found here which was strange.

But again, that was not important, he was here not for sightseeing but rather to find a way to bring back Merlin.

So he just kept looking around the place, which to his surprise looked really in rough shape, it was clear to him that this place had seen better days.

But unlike the castle, this place wasn't dirty, rather it was pretty clean but the place was broken in many places and some heavy magical residuals were available in the air even after who knows how many years since the person who last used magic in here.

'Man, I am supposed to sleep at this time, sigh whatever.'

Now that he had found the place, he was wondering to just let it go for today, sleep and come back here tomorrow to search but that was when he heard this voice. 

"Hmm, so finally someone's here. Honestly, it took ages." The sound was rough and slow. But Orion heard this loud and clear.

He didn't sense any powerful magic around him so he wasn't expecting anyone. He wasn't worried maybe becuase right now he was strong enough to handle pretty much anyone. 

He followed the sound only to find yet another picture but this one wasn't that pretty or to be more exact, the person in the picture wasn't as pretty as the girl he saw outside. 

He narrowed his eyes to look at the person in the picture and suddenly he froze. But that was only for a few seconds at best and the next second immense magical power poured out of him. 

The hidden lab shook as the visible magical power which felt like steam ejected from his body, the temperature of the room went up and the place which was already looking in rough shape again had new sets of cracks forming around them. 

"YOU."

Orion said this with venom in his tone, the huge amount of magical power around him was accustomed to that.

"What are you doing here," Orion asked with clear hostility on his face, he remembered this face clearly. After all, he himself killed the person in front of him. 

"Hmm... I have no idea why you are so hostile to me but it seems like my body did something to you or someone close to you. Though it isn't worth much but I apologise for that." replied the picture in which a middle-aged man was talking. 

Hearing this Orion's hostility grew, he just wanted to kill this guy now, though he technically had done so earlier but still. 

However, he refrains from acting on his impulse. The man is already dead and there is no point destroying this picture. 

'Rather I should ask how the fuck he is here in the first place. How he is connected and finally what in the world is going on.' Orion took a few deep breaths. Trying to calm his raging magic and then he found a seat nearby to sit down. 

No doubt that if he remains standing in front of the picture then only destruction remains in his future. 

He in fact didn't even bother facing the man in the picture, the site of him was already making him go crazy. 

No calling him a man is no longer right. He after all was a Vampire. But then again the question comes how the fuck does a Vampire have one of these magical paintings of him created, who will do that. 

And how? Did his entire body end up burned to the crips? Who made this?

'No...asking questions to myself won't do shit, I have to ask him. Destroying him can wait, I can burn that picture after I get an answer like how I burn the real body.' Orion took his merry time to think what he gonna do and finally decided to go and talk with a vampire. 

"Why a vampire is here, and who made a moving picture of you" Orion directly went to ask the question most important to him. Didn't even bother introducing himself. 

The vampire in the painting was looking at him with patience, not saying anything and just waiting until Orion asked him this question. 

"Vampire huh..." Reply to and man with clear sadness on his face. 

"Well, I knew that was my fate ultimately but now knowing this from you just makes me want to joke at how helpless I really have been all this time." That vampire had a self-loathing smile on his face like he was amused at his own condition. 

Hearing this Orion fell into contemplation. 

"Well to answer your question, I wasn't a vampire before. Was cursed to turn into one. I tried to solve this problem but I couldn't do anything about the curse. 

Ultimately I had to depart from my body when I had no other choice. As for this picture, ironic as may it sound, I made it. 

When I was technically me... I made it so that I can store my consciousness inside the picture." Reply to the vampire, making Orion confused even more. 

"It's clear by your hostility that my body after turning into a Vampire had done something to you. Though I shouldn't, but may I ask, why you are so hostile to me." Again ask the man in the picture with a solemn tone. 

Orion didn't reply immediately, he needed time to digest all this information right now. For him knowing that he vampire he hated so much wasn't even a Vampire in the first place was a shock. 

Not to mention this man being here just doesn't make sense. What is his connection to Merlin, himself and what happened all those years ago? 

"You... you killed my dog." Orion finally spoke up after waiting for some time. 

"OH" that was the only response the man gave.
