"I heard the sixth prince was the weakest, but seeing you now makes me think those who said it weren"t good at judging others." The short-haired female stared at Elijah on the opposite side of her and spoke while sipping on a gla.s.s of wine."You should know what I"m doing by coming here." Elijah stopped talking for a second, then he continued. "I"m confident in winning the time war, so I would like to propose a alliance in exchange for information."
"Information?" Asgeal exclaimed, although she could guess he came here for a alliance since the beginning, she would never imagine he would only ask for information. And from the killing intent in his eyes he had a clear reason for it.
"Yes, I want to know where is a friend of mine. His divine name is Cronus." The third princess was silent for a few seconds before her eyes lit up.
"Wait here a little, there is something I must check." Leaving the room in a hurry, she quickly contacted somebody and returned after a couple of minutes. Soon, she returned with a crystal in her hands.
"Consider this as a gift, this crystal has all the information I could gather of your "Friend". He is partic.i.p.ating in the time war as an Usekian commander. You can ask for more, this type of information isn"t worth much to me or any other prince."
"No, it"s okay. Send alliance invitation to the third princess, Asgeal."
Following his voice as light screen appeared in front of Asgeal. [Sixth prince is inviting you to form an alliance. Y/N?]
"Yes."
[Alliance formed. Its possible to see each other"s progress as well as sending troops through the territory of the members of your alliance.]
"I guess this is it. I should return to my territory now, we will enter in contact later, Bye." Elijah left the room as his body turned into a ray of red light. The moment he stepped into his territory"s land, he received a message from Iris.
[Prince, your servant Alucard has successfully infiltrated the enemy base. It looks like the russians are believing the prince is weaker of the princes and they are preparing an a.s.sault on two of our fronts. The south and north gates are at a risk, we should increase security and the number of patrols on each gate as well as forming a small attack force to infiltrate the center of their camp and wipe them out.]
"Don"t do anything rash. Wait for me, I"m close to the city. Gather the other commanders, high-rank and n.o.ble vampires on the main hall. We will discuss there."
....
Baylight manor, Inside the main hall.
As soon as he entered, Elijah saw a few dozen High-grade vampires waiting for him by his throne. He greeted them before walked toward Iris who was staring at a map.
"Iris, do you know where is the city"s treasure room? I could craft something that could help us against the upcoming battle."
Elijah took a few materials from the city"s treasure room returned minutes later holding a little metal sphere. It was a tiny, but powerful bomb. Nothing too complicated to do, it is just an outer sh.e.l.l made of red prime crystals and metal while he made a reagent with his own blood and infused the energy of a few hundred top-grade magical crystals into the sphere, turning it into an extremely volatile bomb.
"Claus, come here. Take this sphere and give it to Alucard, tell him to plant it where most of the usekians are gathered." Elijah summoned one of his blood servants and gave the order to transport the bomb to Alucard.
"Yes, your highness."
"The sun is about to rise, everyone take a bag of silver blood and return to your houses as you wait for the night." Everyone nodded and left the manor each holding a big bag of silver blood. Apart from the princes, all the other vampires would turn into dust when hit by sunlight. Soon, the entire city was silent without any movement.
Only Elijah was seen playing by the artificial lake at the back of the manor. He could feel an itching on his skin when hit by sunlight, yet it wasn"t something he couldn"t bear with. His skin only gained a few shades of red that even made him more human-like than the past pale-white face.
.....
Peuh Star, trinity tower. A golden-haired woman was seating on top of the tower cross, a particular part of her chest shone with a golden radiance as dragon scales slowly spread all over her body.
The origin inside her synchronized with the dragon"s energy that flowed within her. The pressure was great and her forehead was full of sweat. Suddenly she grabbed at the sky and the tip of a white sword was being help by her hand then the sword vanished from her hand and appeared floating besides a golden-haired boy. The certainly had the same facial traits of the woman. His aura was nonexistent which was close to impossible.
Swoos.h.!.+ The sword flew at the woman who had her hand changing into a dragon"s claw.
s.h.i.+ng! The clas.h.i.+ng of the sword with the claws produced a high-pitched sound capable of easily hurting the ear. Wave after wave of energy was blocked by the female who shot an energy claw at the boy.
"I"m not that weak mom." Like it felt the incoming attack at it"s master,the white sword rushed at high speed before it released a s.h.i.+ning light as it turned into a purple floating s.h.i.+eld that blocked the claw with little difficulty.
"Let me try something different." Red, white and purple lights rushed forth, sending the woman far away. She spread a pair of dragon wings as she stared at the boy. Slowly his body divided into three, a red-haired boy, a white-haired body and a purple-haired boy. Another woman with a black hair stared at the boy with surprise.
"Elliot, what did you do?"
"I don"t know."The red-haired Elliot spoke, then the white-haired Elliot continued, "I just felt like I could do it and it happens."
"Mom, take care. I"m going to attack with my three bodies." The purple haired Elliot spoke with his body surrounded by purple flames. Then the white-haired Elliot closed his eyes and his spirit flew out of his body in the shape of a multi-colored disk that morphed into a spear. And the red-haired Elliot extended his hand to grab the white sword as it expanded and transformed into a full-body red armor.
