Chapter 256: Questionable followers
That person was Kaelthorn—a former Blood General who had betrayed the previous Lord. He was powerful, experienced, and worst of all... cunning. The kind of man you wanted on your side but could never turn your back on.
Damon stared at Kaelthorn’s profile for a long time. His crimes were clearly listed: treason, unauthorized blood rituals, mass massacres, and suspected attempts at creating a false bloodline hierarchy.
And yet... the man was still alive. Which meant Varnyx had purposely kept him locked away instead of executing him.
That alone told Damon one thing—Kaelthorn might still be useful.
"Should I really do this?" Damon murmured, tapping the screen. He also wanted to recruit him because in his last life, he had heard a rumor about this vampire.
Among all sorts of vile and disturbing rumors that spread about the guy, there was one more rumor about how he had loved a human girl. Of course, it could very well be false. There were also rumors about him breaking the minds of many human women and keeping a slave pen full of human women just for his pleasure.
Then again, many of the vampire lords did the same. They were extremely ruthless when it came to human beings, and especially ones associated with divinity and the holy light.
Damon let out a sigh as he thought more about it. Recruiting Kaelthorn was a gamble, but the man was a peak C-rank monster, something he would be right now if this fucking soul injury were not there.
Ellora was also in the C-rank, but if the information he had was correct, then this man should be several times more powerful than her. He currently needed this power. Damon thought about it for a couple more seconds and finally made the decision.
Get the bastard as a follower for the next ten days and then ditch him for someone more reliable.
