Chapter 1458: Avoiding Awkward Situation
The vampires and everyone else called the world inside Arad’s stomach a ’Small’ world, because it was objectively smaller than the outside world. But D found that description quite misleading; this place was by no means small. And get this, it’s growing.
While the Castle of Alina might serve as the living and breathing capital of the empire, very few knew that the actual heart, the core of the whole empire, hid safely inside the Emperor’s stomach.
Here is the place where most of the powerful spirit queens lived, where the countless vampires trained, and organized their operation. This is where the countless war mages of Ruris’s empire were testing their spells. D had even seen several angels flying around, taking care of whatever business the Mira and Eris churches needed.
Most of Arad’s hoard was hidden here; the kingdom’s whole wealth was also stored here in vaults and guarded by the harrowing vampire dragons that Arad had. Even the merchants held most of their deals here.
In short, Arad’s small world was the real capital, hidden within his soul, far away from the greedy hands of the world.
From what D heard about Arad from Jasmine, the one thing many don’t know is that Arad can feel, sense, and know of everything that happens inside his stomach, and can void step inside at his will, and attack without any delay. Arad is nowhere near her, but she is certain that he can smell her breath, feel her steps on the ground, and hear her eyelashes blink.
"No wonder the fairies hated coming in here. Arad’s magic eyes are everywhere." D sighed, and the vampire nun looked back at her with a smile.
"That is what makes this place great. We’re all under the watchful eyes of our Blood Lord, our GOD!"
Very few things scared D, and being stuck inside a dragon’s dark stomach, surrounded by fanatic vampires and murderous angels, was one such thing.
After a few minutes of walking, the two finally reached the center of the forming city. The vampire nun called it the capital of Asc, short for Arad’s stomach city.
