Chapter 122 How So Nostalgic.
Overwhelming.
Ridiculously Overwhelming.
That was the Vampire Army.
800 years have passed, Humans and the other 5 Races dominated Yrniel and the Union was dissolved into 6 Territories.
Yes, the Vampires weren't given any territories, they were the Sinners after all.
The Union Leaders lived peacefully since the Vampires and Lord Azriel didn't make a move, actually, many people even forgot about the Vampires.
No human wanted to turn into a Vampire, therefore, the humans who wanted to catch the sinners couldn't find any either.
Therefore, the Sin catchers started dying out as well and daily life continued.
However, now,
After 800 long years, 30,000 Vampires appeared.
The first territory they attacked belonged to the Humans and the Humans were completely helpless about it.
The First Generation Humans, the 12 Human Leaders and the Strongest humans after the Progenitors, were held back by the previous Human Leader, now the Vampire Queen.
Aeliana Origin.
The Woman fought against 12 absurdly strong humans and didn't even sweat.
It was as if she was playing with children.
"What the heck! How is she so strong!?" A human leader questioned as he dodged a Blood Arrow that was shot towards him.
"How would I know!?" The other Human leader shouted in anger.
"Stop shouting at each other you fools! Fight her together!"
"What do you think we are doing right now!?"
"…"
The human leaders were in panic.
"Tsk Tsk, to think that the Human Leaders were so weak, disappointing indeed. If I were you, I would be so embarrassed that I would kill myself."
Aeliana shook her head in disappointment.
"You… you were a human as well… We are as strong as you were…"
A human leader couldn't help but point out.
"Hmm, maybe the First Generation could give me a decent fight…"
Aeliana muttered to herself.
"Don't act like you didn't hear me, you dumb sister!"
The human who was ignored shouted in anger.
"Tsk Tsk, I am not your sister anymore, I am father's Blood Daughter now."
Aeliana snorted and continued to attack.
She wanted to release all her frustration today.
The Human Leaders weren't actually having a hard time against her, with their teamwork, they were able to stand against her to some extent, however, with how strong she had become, they weren't allowed to not focus on the battle for a single minute.
Aeliana Origin was strong.
Absurdly strong.
However,
The other Vampires weren't weak either, each one of them fought against 50 human cultivators that had the same cultivation as them and were overwhelming them.
The humans were helpless, at first, they managed to overpower the vampires through their sheer numbers.
However, as the fight continued, more blood fell on the ground, which gave Vampires a chance to turn things around.
Also, Humans' stamina was incomparable to monsters like Vampires who regenerated while they fought.
The fight continued and soon, the Vampires' advantage was clear. More and more humans died, their leaders were held back by the Vampire Queen and were unable to help them.
In the end, the Human Leaders decided to give up.
They then created a few openings and decided to run away with the strongest of the humans.
The Vampires didn't bother to give a chase either, they just walked towards the Large Palace in the middle of the territory and settled there.
The Human Territory was taken over by the Vampires.
The Vampires, however, did not stop there, with an unbreakable momentum, Beastmen, Elves and Dwarves were defeated as well.
The Demons and Dragons, however, were not defeated.
The problem wasn't the individual strength of the Vampires, however, the number they had was just too low,
They were unable to stand against the Mighty Demons and Dragons.
Also, unlike the battle with the humans, the battle with other races didn't have many casualties since only a few people participated in the war.
Humans were the only ones who fought with sheer numbers after all.
The rankings were then updated.
Dragons,
Demons,
Vampires,
Beastmen,
Elves,
Dwarves,
Humans.
Yes, the vampires shot to the Third Place and the humans…
They fell to the last.
This war had serious consequences for them since many of their cultivators died.
Of course, something like this wasn't really a problem for the humans, a 1000 more years, and they should be back to their place, however,
Something like this did not happen.
The Vampires returned and they returned splendidly.
Also, the 'True Will' of Yrniel was revealed.
Being a Vampire wasn't a Sin but a Virtue.
Therefore, many humans wanted to turn into vampires.
The number of Vampires continued to increase at a tremendous rate, surpassing both Demons and Dragons and coming close to Elves and Dwarves.
However, these new Vampires didn't have the same potential as the other Vampires carried,
The reason was simple.
Azriel was too lazy to convert them into Vampires one by one, therefore, he just reduce the Quality and increased the Quantity.
He started turning 100 humans into Vampires at the same time.
Time passed, the Vampires got stronger and stronger and soon, the First Generation of the Humans couldn't take this anymore and they met with Caesar again.
"Father, we have to stop them."
"Haahh… not again…" Caesar sighed.
"Father! Don't you know how badly we humans fell? We are called the weakest race now!" A human leader shouted in frustration.
"Why are you not doing anything!?"
"Are you fine with us humans being the weakest!?"
"Huh? You act like I don't know what is going on. Didn't you just lose many humans in this 'war'? All we need is time and we will go back to where we were before." Caesar muttered.
Actually, he was annoyed by how his children came to him every time they face something they can't handle however, they would forget about his existence when everything is fine.
'Tsk Tsk.'
That was the reason why he was jealous of Azriel, his daughter, who treats Azriel as her father always goes and meets him regularly.
If only she showed a 10th of the affection she has for Azriel to him… Caesar would have been a happy man.
Caesar sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
'She is now his Blood Daughter, I heard? Tsk Tsk, that bastard, taking my little girl away from me.
This time, officially.
Hmph Hmph, Queen of the Vampires,
Queen of the Humans sounds cooler to me.'
Caesar's heart was filled with complaints.
His children didn't love him.
"Yeah? Do you think we humans can return to where we once were?" Suddenly, Caesar's son questioned.
"Of course, just be a little patient. We will give birth to the number of humans that have died in battle in 2-3 days, don't worry." Caesar nodded his head with a leisurely look on his face.
"Oh yeah? And how do you think we will give birth to new humans when all the humans wish to be vampires and stay do not mate in order to stay virgins?"
The Human Leader questioned and this time, Caesar's gaze turned serious.
"Yes father, since the humans that can be turned into vampires have to be virgins, many humans have decided to not mate at all.
Our birth rate has fallen at an all-time low."
The human leader informed and Caesar turned silent.
This…
This was indeed a problem.
Also, since the source of this problem was a Progenitor, who his children had no way of going against, Caesar had to move.
This matter could potentially destroy his whole race, he had to do something.
Then, he stood up from his seat and turned toward his son.
"I will take care of it, don't worry."
"You will?" The human leader questioned in surprise.
He was surprised that he managed to convince his father, he then turned toward other human leaders and smiled.
The human leaders smiled back and then, Caesar disappeared and reappeared in front of Dagahra's mansion.
Another meeting was scheduled,
This time, it was the progenitors meeting with each other, and Azriel wasn't called.
He was the topic of discussion after all.
Caesar then shared the problems with other progenitors and soon, the Elf Progenitor nodded,
"If this continues, the Vampires would rule the entire Yrniel, we can't let this happen now. Out children has to live their own life as well, right?"
"I agree, Azriel had his fun, however, I think it is now time for him to back off." The Demon Proginator nodded.
"Hmm hmm, I agree with you guys as well.
I heard that the 'Vampires' Azriel has created can reproduce and give birth to Vampires as well, if that is the case, then there is no need to turn more humans into Vampires, they can just give birth to new Vampires and the Vampire Race would continue." Dagahra nodded as well.
Hence, the meeting was concluded.
The Progenitors had decided,
They all would go and talk with Azriel.
They didn't waste much time either,
The 62 Progenitors walked inside Azriel's house and told him to stop.
Seeing his 62 friends standing in front of him, Azriel smiled and a strange thought appeared in his mind,
'Heh. All other races standing against us Vampires,
How so Familiar
How so Nostalgic.'
