Chapter 40: Siege of Vindice

|3rd POV|

It is a regular day in Bucharest, Romania. The day looks like a regular day with people going about their day without any care in the world. However, it changes when the sun goes down. The wind starts to change. The warm feeling in the air is gone and now replaced with a cold wind that is so chilling it hurts the mundane humans.

The mundane people do not know what is happening, but the people who stay on the supernatural side of the world know that the vampire is on the move once again, and they are going all out this time.

A massive magic circle appears just outside of Bucharest, and a second later, almost two thousand undead appear from the magic circle, groaning and roaring. Not only that, but two hundred vampires flying above the undead horde.

Robert Tepes is going all-out. He gathers all his thrall and servants, including their undead, to come in this battle. Even without the help of his brother, Robert is confident of defeating the humans as he still sees them as nothing but food.

Humans are prey in his eyes, and even though they have fangs and claws, they are nothing more than animals.

"Let's go, my servants! We shall have the greatest feast in years! Those people are nothing but blood bags! Let's show them what it means to fight against vampires! Show them despair and show the world that we are the strongest race in the world!"

Robert gives a speech to his servants, who are so arrogant that someone who watches them from far away frowns. Apollo, the God of the Sun, frowns at Robert's little speech and barely manages to hold himself back from sending a ray of sun to Romania.

Apollo already knows about the attack, as he can see it in his vision. However, he pays attention to this attack because his vision is cut off when Robert and his army attack Vindice. This happens when he tries to see the future of anyone from Vindice. It is as if their fate is no longer set in stone, and they can do whatever they want without anyone playing with their fate.

If it is the other Fate-type deities who look at them, they will send divine retribution, but Apollo is not that kind of deity. No. He is someone who loves to watch something without his power, giving him a spoiler. So, watching the people of Vindice is a kind of him watching a movie that he has never seen or a movie that he did not know the ending of.

And at the moment, he is watching the climax of the movie—a direct war between the Millefiore Family and the Tepes Clan.

He watches as the vampire army arrives not too far away from Vindice. Apollo eats a handful of popcorn and says.

"What will you do now, Millefiore? Will you survive this ordeal and be the ruler of Romania, or will you crumble?"

"Sniper, shoot the vampires in the air. Machine gun unit, prepare to hit those undeads with all the bullets you guys have."

I give the command to my people through the walkie-talkie as I watch the army of undead march through the forest. We are ready to welcome them after getting the news from one of the crew in Bucharest about the vampires summoning a large number of undead.

I look to the side and see my guardians are ready to fight. I give them a nod and take out my animal box. After putting my ring on the box, I see white and black eastern dragons appear in front of me.

"Shiro. Kuro."

I give them a good pat on the head and say.

"Do you guys see the abomination outside our city?"

Kuro and Shiro nod their heads, and I continue.

"Destroy them."

After I say that, Kuro and Shiro roar and fly to the sky. The two dragons grow in size; now, the two dragons are twelve meters long and one meter tall. They are still small compared to a real dragon, but they are getting there.

I look to the side and see my guardians also doing the same. Luca summons his wolf and rifle from the box. Felicia summons her elephant and her Nodachi. Martha summons her scepter and giant turtle.

The three of them order their companion to attack, and I watch them dash at the enemy with their three weapon animals. Felicia's elephant sprays rain made of Rain Flame that lands on the undead getting close to us. Luca's wolf jumps high into the air and barks at the incoming undead, releasing a torrent of storm flame. Martha's turtle stays in the middle of the city, ready to provide support in case we need it.

"Bwahahaha! Die!"

I look to the side and sigh a little when I see Byakuran laugh wildly as he releases his attack at the undead getting near the city. He and his guardian will be the ones taking care of the western side of the city. He wants to be on the frontline and accept no for an answer. That marshmallow maniac wants to have some bloodbath, and the undead is a great thing for him to hit.

I shake my head and leave his safety to his guardians. I need to focus on the fight. I take out my box weapons and take a deep breath. I take a battle stance and dash forward with my sword and pistol. I appear in front of one of the undead, who manages to get near me and swing my sword. After cutting five undead, I point my pistol at the rest and fire sky bullets at the rest of them.

When I see another wave of undead manage to punch through the Lightning Flame barrier, I prepare to attack them once again, but before I can do that, my instinct screams at me to jump away.

As I jump away, I see a hail of purple beams hitting the ground, creating a giant crater. I look to the sky and see a man floating in the air with a sneering smile on his face.

"So you are the person who fought my brother to a standstill, huh? You look weak."

I summon my aura and the Sword of Damocles. He looks at the sword in shock, but before he can do anything, I flare my aura and see him fall to the ground. I can see him glaring at me and grit his teeth in frustration.

"Weak? You are the one on the ground now, bloodsucker."
