Chapter 68 Ascension Ritual (IV)

"Bats celebrate, sick rats sing."

"Blood mist covers the sky, shadows overflow."

"Daylight dreads its arrival, eternal night descends."

The vampire variants on the stone pillars were still chanting. As time went by, their voices gradually turned into wails.

Blood gradually filled the patterns on the stone platform, activating the strange and evil array. In the bunker, the arrays in the hundreds of iron cages emitted a bloody glow.

The blood light connected those variants to Duke Brad. The evil power surged into his body through the blood light.

"Ascension. How absolutely delightful."

Duke Brad raised his arms, seeming to embrace the imminent power.

He slowly closed his eyes. Despite his undying essence not needing to breathe, he still took a deep breath, savoring the inviting scent of blood in the air.

Duke Brad's expression suddenly stiffened.

"Wait..."

"I think I smell... unfamiliar blood."

"It seems there is a group of vile rats hiding in my castle."
