Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 304 - An Inheritance of Blood

An air of ancientness and turbidity was released from the bloody portal floating in the middle of the Council Hall as the Vampyre King finished his words. Some nods of understanding could be seen from a few older Vampyres, seeing the forethought put into the plans of their king as they realized what the results of it would be.

Some still held shocked expressions because they could not believe that a human, not even a vampyre, was being given permission to seek the inheritance of the Progenitor!

One should know that this was an opportunity that very few of even the highest echelons of Pureblood Vampyres received, being something that was given as a prize to the exceedingly genius growing disciples.

Many of them wanted to speak up, but recalling what had just occurred over an hour ago, they sat back in their seats and simply watched the progression of events.

Noah’s eyes were stuck to this glowing red portal as he went over the hour long talk between him and the enigmatic being that seemed to always be smiling, yet it also felt like he was hiding a sharpened blade that could cut down at any second.

The Vampyre King had asked for every single detail of the encounter between him and Prince Cassius in the First Realm of Hell, exactly how they took down the disciples, what they observed, and the final fight between them and the Aberration!

Even more details that he wanted was the conversation that Noah and Elder Spacewarp had with the Celestial Grandmaster word for word when he pulled them from their interstellar ship and offered the invitation of becoming a Celestial Disciple towards Noah.

A cold light passed through the Vampyre King’s eyes when he heard the Celestial refer to the Dark Expanse as lawless place, his eyes scrutinizing every detail thereafter as he observed Noah without blinking an eye until he seemed satisfied with the information.

Before the small blood world wrapping around them was released, the Vampyre King had mentioned that he would give Noah the possibility of gaining the techniques that could escape the mysterious ways of the Celestials, but this came with a few conditions!

The first condition that he mentioned was the obtaining of the skills lying solely in Noah’s hands as he would be given the opportunity to enter the land of their Ancestor, the Ancient Blood World that held the inheritance of many of the techniques he had observed Prince Cassius using, and more.

Only after this was done would they move on to the next stage, the actual discussions of who this force of Pureblood Vampyres really were, and what they were planning against the Celestials.

Noah glanced at the Prince Cassius that seemed to be lost in thought as he gave a light smile and began walking towards the portal letting out desolate energies. He held slight excitement about the techniques of the Vampyres that could evade the eyes of the Celestials, but he more so wanted to experience just exactly what these unique areas and skills he had never come across held in store for him.

The statement about only Vampyres being able to leave this Ancient Blood World did not bother him as his sights went past such things, and he only longed for more strength!

His gaze became firm as he went towards the glowing red portal without looking black, disappearing in a flash as the room returned to quietness. This only lasted briefly as a joyful voice rang out.

"Haha cheer up. We may have gained an extremely useful ally, but I know not to place everything we have in front of him. This portal will only lead him to the normal inheritance given to Elite Vampyres, not the actual Abode where our Progenitor’s remains rest."

The words brought down the sinking feeling that many Vampyres in the Council hall were having as they did not want to raise a word against their king, but felt it extremely blasphemous if the human had really been sent to the Supreme Blood Inheritance that was only meant for Vampyre Royalty.

"Now, it should take him a few hours or days depending on his talent. We need to discuss how to best use this infiltration into a Celestial Star to our advantage. I’ll also send word back home, as this is truly something huge."

The Vampyre Council agreed as their voices slowly began to perk up for discussions, the Pureblood Prince Cassius on the side still lost in thought as he looked at his father. He was thinking heavily about the recent set of events as what his father had done confused him, and he even more so knew that his father was lying!

Noah was not sent to the Inheritance Grounds for Elite Vampyres in the Ancient Blood World, but to the Inheritance Abode of their Progenitor that only he, a Prince of the Vampyre Race, had gone into in the last hundred years!

His thoughts were clouded as he wondered, what exactly was his father up to?

It felt like only a blink of an eye as Noah passed through the bloody portal in the Council Hall and came into a brand new area filled to the brim with an aura of ancientness and desolation.

He appeared in the middle of what appeared to be a ridiculously large coliseum shaped structure that could be called ridiculous because it stretched for miles in diameter all around.

He had to use [Observation] just to see the huge walls surrounding this humongous coliseum that was enclosed in a dome shape. All around this miles long Coliseum, numerous lakes were distributed throughout as a metallic smell hung in the air. Near the wall, statues of terrifying creatures were spread throughout, many showing exquisite bat wings and fangs as they held different assortments of expression. They were situated all around the circular coliseum, their gazes intersecting at something at the very center.

At this center most position located a few miles where he stood, Noah could see an ancient shrine that screamed of old age, with an enormous lake of blood around it as the moment he entered, this lake of blood trembled as essence began to converge.

RUMBLE!

Noah focused all of his attention on this movement as he watched with stupefaction at the gradual formation of a being from the viscous lake of blood around this shrine. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The lake was simply too wide, the outline of the being forming rapidly becoming larger and larger as Noah soon found himself staring at something that towered above 30 meters. It held a humanoid shape, but had the grandiosity of a mountain as it floated grandly in the air, its bloody color shining in the desolate and ancient air as two even redder eyes opened and honed themselves on Noah.

OOOM!

The being began speaking, but the opening of its mouth only let out waves of destructive energies as nothing discernable came out, the thing that made Noah the most interested about this being’s appearance was the simple fact that...he could not sense any aura at all from it!

So what exactly was this Inheritance of the Pureblood Vampyres, and what would be the terms to obtain it?
