Chapter 43: Solar System?
"King Ian, the secret realm had opened."
At this time, Ian's chin was boredly resting on his knuckles. Elder Alaric entered the hall.
Ian's eyes lit up. "It's finally opened? Great!" He stood up from his throne, excitedly.
It had been two months since he turned into the King of the Blood Realm. He had been bored out of his mind, and his strength barely grew. After all, unlike other vampires, he had already reached the ceiling power level of the Curtained Imperium. In analogy, if the Grand Elder was level 10, Ian was level 12.
Unless he madly slaughtered and devoured the top powerhouses of the Curtained Imperium to obtain biomass. It would be hard for him to have another breakthrough at his current state.
Fortunately, not everything was bad news. He learned that there might be several beasts inside the God of War Secret Realm on par with or even stronger than the Grand Elder.
Usually, true vampires, higher vampires, and a few selected Elders would venture into the Secret Realm. At the outer ring, the beasts were still manageable for true vampires. On the other hand, the inner ring, even higher vampires had to tread carefully while the Elder could still roam freely. However, at the core ring, few Elders had walked out alive to tell the tale. Out of five, maybe only one would normally come out.
For this reason, every dark race forms a temporary truce inside. For instance, even if a party of werewolves and vampires encounter each other inside the Secret Realm, they wouldn't bother with each other's business. Well, unless there was irresistible temptation enough for them to disregard the unspoken rule and bear the consequences.
"Who would be with me this time?" Ian yawned with his golden eyes fixed on Alaric.
