"Everyone please calm down for now, I was just joking" I said while scratching my head in embarrassment, quickly getting a white shirt to cover myself.

"Even then" Ruby's mother said, walking to my side. "Your power is genuine, Drake. It feels completely different than before. It just feels as if I were gazing at my ancestor"

"Indeed, you give us an air of greatness."

"It feels like we must follow you now"

"I doubted it a bit, but now, I cannot anymore"

"Well, I was already going to accept your offer, so let me join you now for real."

The Vampire Elders, who all made up the Vampire Council within the Von Sange Family seemed to agree as they gazed at my powerful, black and red aura

"Can you explain what's going on?" Benladann said.

"Your aura got all stronger out of the sudden You're a lot like a vampire now, yet dragon" Miranda said.

"Yeah, I agree." Yuki said. "But unlike the ones we fought, your aura is not repulsive, and quite welcoming."

"Ah well, I just evolved I suppose I should tell you the truth." I told everyone. "Even the Vampires should learn this now that it has happened. Keeping it a secret would do more harm than good."

Like that, I spent the next ten minutes explaining to everyone my encounter with Sangre and our fight to almost death and how it all ended being a mere clone.

"Sangre!"

"To think our Guardian Dragon had such intentions from the beginning"

"Our ancestor was truly someone so evil even his loyal dragon wanted to betray him?"

"Sigh Thankfully, you repelled him, Lord Drake."

"We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for protecting our lives once more We owe you our lives."

The Vampires kneeled before me, led by Ruby's mother. Ruby didn't kneeled though, although she was thankful. I quickly stopped them from kneeling any further though, it wasn't my style at all to receive such levels of worship.

"Agh please stand up. I am sorry, Ruby." I sighed. "Stand up, come on."

The Vampires ended standing up after a bit of insistence from my part. They all looked confused of what was happening. I can tell they would feel confused if I told them to bow down and then to stand up

"Sorry about that, I didn't intend to force you guys. More than servants or anything, let's become good allies, alright?" I told them while trying to be humble for once.

"Ah, so humble"

"Our real evil ancestor would had never said such words"

"Lord Drake, you have a heart of gold We will never leave your side now."

"Yeah!"

The Vampires only felt more inspired than anything. It was slightly annoying, but eventually, we let it be. However, leaving that aside, as we discussed what happened and everything else, Ruby's mother quickly recalled something.

"Ah! Drake, quickly come with me! I have a bad feeling!"

She quickly ran towards the ruins of the castle. We quickly moved downstairs, reaching the basement, where we found a large stone door. Ruby and Rakasha followed us from behind, alongside my wife and my daughters.

"Papa, doo?" Asked my adorable little Benladra, trying to say "door".

"Yes, that's a door, dear." I said, kissing her forehead.

"Door" Kate said with her tiny voice.

"What is this door for?" Benladann asked.

"Yeah?" Miranda wondered.

"This is the Door that leads to our Treasury! The Inheritance of our Ancestor If you say there could had been a possibility of one of Sangre's clones to be around here Then he might had been aiming for something!"

Ruby's mother touched the door, as it quickly glowed with bright red light, opening wide and letting us all in.

However, the altar in the middle of this treasury was empty, although the rest was all left intact, with all sorts of riches and valuable resources and interesting items.

"It's gone No!" Ruby's mother panicked.

"What is gone?" I asked her.

"The Crown The Vampire King Crown, a special Divine Treasure forged using the crystals made by our ancestor's soul. It was the last set of accessories the vessel was supposed to wear to fully transcend into our ancestor" Sighed Ruby's mother. "I planned to offer it to you, Lord Drake"

"I see"

Alucard prepared several items using his soul crystals. A ring, a bracelet, a necklace, two earrings, and a crown. I got the ring, bracelet, and necklace, while the two earrings were absorbed alongside his soul, as they had merged with his soul and Red's soul.

The crown possessed two big crystals on it But it's gone. There's also a hole in the wall. Whatever came here, it already stole it and kept it for themselves.

And disappeared.

"Whatever took it disappeared without leaving trace teleportation or summoning magic, perhaps" Sighed Ruby.

"Hermes, can you call him?" I asked Rakasha.

"Sure." Rakasha quickly brought Hermes in just a minute. Alma and the rest of his group followed them. Even Root had a compact "Spirit Form" of the size of an average ice giant, so he could also come with them.

"Lord Drake, what is it?" The bratty Hermes called me "lord", that surprised me a bit. I guess saving his life filled him with gratitude.

"Can you detect any sort of space attribute essence around here? Or can you tell if someone teleported somewhere and where to?" I asked him.

"Ah I haven't tried anything like that before but Thanks to you, I've become a Rank 7 God, I think I can do something now Wait a bit." Hermes closed his eyes, gathering divine power and mixing it with his space attribute magic.

And then, using the wind as well, he tried to detect space attribute magic and where did its traces went to.

It took him a few minutes, but when he opened his eyes, he had an answer.

"Very far away perhaps as far as Vanaheim" He said while sighing. "That's where that thing went, whatever it was, it only grabbed one thing and disappeared."
