Darius was not surprised by this, as the vampire was stated to have an aura that charmed weak-minded monsters and animals, so that they would free it from its bindings.
Darius and Gunner had discovered it in the first place because a Single-headed Ogre had tried to bash the boulder in.
Xela frowned as she got close. "I sense a despicable aura of evil and malice nearby."
Darius and Gunner shared a look. "Well, we kinda sense a familiar feeling…"
Xela was confused by this until she thought of the two vampires Darius had raised. If it felt familiar to them, then it stood to reason that the one sealed inside would at least be a Pureblood Vampire.
"Well, let's head in shall we?" Darius prompted as he nodded to Gunner, who lazily knocked the boulder aside with his fist. It jumped and rolled some distance away, shaking the ground as it did so.
