Chapter 981 Distraught Father.Chapter 981 Distraught Father.

Xigger has a stronger divine sense so he should have sensed them before Ragnarok did. But he is pretending not to know about them. That means that he is toying with Ragnarok. Ragnarok decided then that he won't be fooled. 

Xigger maintained his look of innocence and refused to admit it. He even pleaded with Ragnarok, "Please trust me, I don't know anything about this."

Ragnarok didn't argue anymore. He stayed silent and contemplated his options. He can't run and he is weak so he is at the mercy of Xigger. The only thing he can do is commit suicide. 

He said to cheer himself up. "It wouldn't be so bad. I won't be the first clone to fail their mission. Legion-7 didn't even reincarnate properly and he was enslaved. At least I reincarnated into the race that I was supposed to reincarnate in. I will die but I can be reincarnated again. Legion-7 can't since he is still a slave. So my situation is not the worst one."

He is ready to commit suicide and die. Legion-1 has a limit on the number of clones or main bodies that he can have because of the amount of soul channels that Gehaldirah constructed as a transcendent. So his death will open up a slot that Legion-1 can use to create another clone. Then he will be reincarnated again. 

He will have failed his current mission and will need to start again somewhere else but it is still better than being in Legion-7's shoes.

Xigger observed Ragnarok's silence with visible pain in his expression. He is not pretending to be hurt. He feels hurt that his son will think that he is up to something sinister. This was to be the moment he unites with his son and then they become happy ever after. So he is very angry at the cause of the distrust in his son. 

That anger finally had room to vent when several vampires appeared very close to them. They had him and Ragnarok surrounded. He saw how it must look and he understood why Ragnarok would think he was playing with him.

"What are you doing here, Malekit?" He asked with an angey roar.

He did not need to roar. In fact, he did not need to shout to get his question across. A quiet use of his divine sense is more than enough to transmit his question. But he is very angry. So he made it clear by roaring in anger. 

The leader of this band of Vampires came forward. He doesn't seem to be perturbed by the roar of anger. His face remained impassive as he stood at the opposite end of Xigger so Ragnarok was in the middle of them. 

Malekit has the long pointy ears of elves. He has white porcelain skin and green hair which indicates that he was a wood elf before he became a vampire. Turning into a vampire bleached his skin of the green tint but his hair maintained its original colour. This hair of his is very long too. It extends down to his feet.

Ragnarok observed this new vampire with weariness. It has all the features that one will need to identify it as a vampire. There are the red eyes and the fangs. Most important is the aura of death around the vampire. This aura is very strong right now. Malekit is not tall compared to Xigger. But he is taller than Ragnarok with his height of 8 meters. That is twice his height. So Ragnarok is understandably wary.

Malekit flashed his fangs at Xigger. He has four white gem-like fangs that sparkle which indicates that he comes from the pulchritude lineage of vampires. That's why his hair color was maintained after he became a vampire. Every vampire here comes from the pulchritudo lineage. They come in different colors and sizes but they are all beautiful like their ancestor. 

Malekit spoke languidly, "Don't be rude Count Xigger. I would appreciate it if you called me by my title. I know that you come from a backward and ugly race but courtesy is a very important thing in modern society. You should learn some manners."

Xigger became further agitated by the subtle insult. It is either that Malekite doesn't care that he is angry or that Malekite doesn't realize that he is angry. Either way, his roar of anger has gone to waste. 

Xigger growled and showed his black fangs. "Answer my question or nothing will stop me from tearing you apart right now."

Malekit tsked. He doesn't let his fear for Xigger show but he understands that he has to answer the question or Xigger will attack him. Saving face and looking good to his subordinates won't save him then. So he said, "You should be grateful to me and to the Supreme of Carnage for asking my Mistress to keep you safe."

"What is this about?" Xigger asked the voice in his head.

The demon god had been silently and happily watching the show. It was initially after Ragnarok and only him. Who would have thought that Xigger would come across an Emperor? It is because the white bitch is too much of a weakling who doesn't like death. This created a boon for the demon god. 

Xigger is the demon god's lucky star. He helped the demon god find two paragons very quickly. But the demon god didn't ask Xigger to turn the Emperor back then. It knows that Xigger wouldn't want to but he also doesn't need Xigger to help turn the Emperor because it already has some Vampires close by that will do the honors.

Instead, it let Xigger find his son, who is the demon god's main target, quickly. This enabled its machinations for Ragnarok to come into play. Some of those Vampires have finally taken the stage that was meant for them.

The demon god can't target Ragnarok directly and it also can't act against Ragnarok indirectly. But the definition of indirect is a tricky thing. Asking other vampires to go after Ragnarok without CARNAGE going after Ragnarok itself is certainly an indirect action against Ragnarok. But there is a loop hole
