Chapter 1005: 16.51 First Red Star - Aftermath

Keylan Light and the others were taken aback by what they had observed. How is it that the fict.i.tious Ancestor of the werewolves has two dragons that aren't allowed to exist in this world? Nevertheless, they cooperate and are unable to defeat him at all, and he treats them as if they were mischievous children.

Ca.s.sius Ambrosia appeared stunned after witnessing the multicolored dragon that had broken through the gap. He made an unusual action by grabbing Fenrir Skoll's sleeve. One who is always wary of other people's touches. Who would have guessed he'd take the initiative to touch Fenrir Skoll when the latter wasn't even hurt?

Fenrir Skoll knew what he wanted but still asked with a gentle smile, "What's wrong, Baby?"

"That tricolor dragon. I want to see it." Ca.s.sius Ambrosia requested.

Fenrir Skoll rubs his wife's cheeks and says, "When we get home, I will bring him out again for you to meet. He would definitely be happy to meet you."

Ca.s.sius Ambrosia knows why Fenrir Skoll refused to release the dragon here. First, there are too many extra eyes; second, that obnoxious priest will whine about having a headache again; and last, he knows that doing so would alert others to Fenrir Skoll's talents. He next turned his attention to those of his race who revolted. His phoenix-like eyes squinted tightly.

"Starting today, there will only be one Earl in the Blood Race. Your bloodline shall be confiscated as punishment and shall become a mortal once again." Ca.s.sius Ambrosia declared.

His silver eyes glow with hints of red and take control of blood elements, "Bloodline Dispersal." Ca.s.sius Ambrosia said.

"AHHH~ please forgive us, Progenitor!"

"We will never rebel again. Please spare us!!"

"Mo. NO! I don't want to become an ordinary mortal again!!"

The former Earl Elena Martel and her people were abruptly engulfed by blood mist in front of everyone's sight. With everyone staring, this mist of blood was flowing out of their bodies, and they began to age quickly in front of everyone's eyes. The vampires who had lived for 100 years transformed into a sack of bones and slowly breathed their last while imploring pardon to Ca.s.sius Ambrosia, their Progenitor. However, the Progenitor of Blood simply watches them beg for their lives with an impa.s.sive countenance and chilly stare, seeming not to hear their cries.

There were just a handful of them remaining, and the most of them had aged into elderly men and women who were ready to crook at any moment. Still, Headmaster Ca.s.sius was unconcerned.

Ca.s.sius Ambrosia said to Keylan Light, "The rest is for you to clean up. Skoll and I are going home."

He grabbed Fenrir Skoll's hand and vanished before the others could respond. They even forgot about Earl Thana Dawn and her people, who are silently watching the events unfold in front of their eyes. They witnessed a living G.o.d, Keylan Light, Instructor Skoll transforming into a ma.s.sive black wolf, elders of the Fenrir Tribe congregating in one location, dragons being called, and individuals of their own race being robbed of their lineage by their own Progenitor.

There were so many things happening at once that they lost how to react to each situation.

They were all horrified and amazed at what they had just seen. They were surprised that the Headmaster of Genus Academy was the Progenitor of Blood, but they didn't antic.i.p.ate the Founder of Templar Temple to remain alive and become an undying G.o.d. Furthermore, who would think that Instructor Skoll's true ident.i.ty is that of the Fenrir Tribe's Ancestor? The one and only werewolf ancestor who bore the name Fenrir.

Keylan Light who was left behind together with the rest, "Ah! You cannot just leave the cleaning up to me!"

"Instructor Keylan Light, we can clean the venue for you if you don't mind sir." Thana Daybreak suggested while waiting for Duke Luther to return. They were waiting for their next instructions. After all, the Blood Clan had lessened in population after what happened today.

"Will you do that? Thank you! Let me heal your wounds. It would be bad to keep it as it is."

Keylan Light controlled a surge of dark components that were converted from his light aura, and this dark energy refilled the lost energy in Thana Daybreak's and the others' bodies, curing their wounds in the process. The young priest Keylan Light was overjoyed to be free of mundane labor and even a.s.sisted the party in healing their wounds from their recent combat. Despite light elements are a curse for Vampires, a DemiG.o.d like Keylan Light is capable of wielding other elements due to his lack of racial constraints. He is a G.o.d and cannot be deemed human, despite the fact that he was formerly mortal.

Thana Daybreak was encircled by her subordinates when Keylan Light left. She had too few people working for her, and she regarded them more as friends and family. She had already lost her clan. It was these folks who had helped him when she was at her lowest and who were again a.s.sisting her in her predicaments. She can only thank them for the rest of her life. Furthermore, several of these individuals were former buddies of her husband. These were the ones who a.s.sisted her in evading the Templar Temple's pursuers that day.

"Thana, I wasn't looking just now. That's the Ancestor of the Templar Temple and the Werewolf Ancestor. I thought they were both dead but they were both alive!"

"Did you hear what they had said just now? Did I hear it right? Two G.o.ds. Maybe our Progenitor is also a G.o.d himself that's why they got along so well."

"This is the first time I saw the Werewolf Ancestor in his beast form. How can he be bigger than a building!?"

"Did you see that... On the back of Pope Keylan Light. He has wings?! Only Angels or G.o.d's had wings!?"

"What with this Academy!? It is scarier than I expected. Thankfully, we are invited guests for the ceremony of our little niece. It was too terrifying to receive a punishment from the Werewolf Ancestor. That old werewolf was eaten alive!"

"Let's go and clean up the place first. Lord Luther should be returning soon after putting the children somewhere safe." Thana Daybreak said.

As expected as soon as Earl Thana said these words, Duke Luther indeed reappeared this time together with a red haired man with a scent of a werewolf tailing after him like a loyal dog. The duke looked a bit irritated but he was obviously not angry.

"Greetings to the Duke!"

"Darling, are these people your subordinates?" Asked Randall Ruid wanting to get his lover's attention after being separated for months after their rebirth in this world.

Even if Thana Dawn and her people were taken aback by their superior's unexpected revelation or affair, they had the foresight to remain silent lest they be slain on the spot for silencing them. Remembering how close the Werewolf Ancestor was to their Progenitor, they wondered whether their Blood Clan and the Fenrir Tribe had reached an accord, given the number of lovers between the two races.

Duke Luther glared at him and said, "Shut up."

"Okay."

Ignoring the annoying man beside him, Luther D'Arcy focused on his subordinates and noticed that their injuries were healed. He dropped by to heal them and sent them back. Now that they are healed and volunteered to clean up the place, he just said,

"After you do what you want, you can either stay at the Guest's Area. There are plenty of empty houses there. But you can only stay the night. As for you, Thana the Progenitor had given permission to allow you to visit your children regularly and stay over during weekends. I will also make a list and ask the Progenitor which of you are eligible for rank up. Now that there are too many n.o.ble Clans that died tonight, a lot of things in the Clan would have to change. Make preparation for it." Luther D'Arcy explained.

Thana Daybreak was delighted to hear these changes in the Clan. Her people now had a chance to get stronger and live a longer life. After all, the higher their rank is, the longer they live. Only the Progenitor lives forever and they would also eventually die as time pa.s.ses. They just live a bit longer than humans and werewolves but it doesn't mean they are immortal after all.

"Thank you, Lord Luther!"

"You can rest after cleaning this place. We will go ahead now." Luther D'Arcy and Randall Ruid were about to take their leave when he was stopped by Thana Daybreak.

Thana Daybreak asked worriedly, "My Lord, are my children safe?"

"They are. The dormitories aren't cleaned up yet so I let them live in a vacant house until renovations are done. Don't worry, they are safe." Duke Luther disappeared with Randall Ruid after saying these words.

Thana Dawn and her followers remain behind to clean up the destroyed ruins of the previous gymnasium and to a.s.sist the instructors in cleaning up the remains of the ghouls murdered that night. Keylan Light blessed Genus Academy's grounds in order to cleanse the entire region while also strengthening the barrier that guards the inst.i.tution.

Because so many students had perished that night, Keylan Light was obligated to perform resurrection magic for all of the students who had registered at the academy and revive them. Those who trespa.s.sed on the property are dead for all he cares. He also cast the memory alteration spell on all of the academy's human students. It would be disastrous if they all remembered what occurred that night and fled the inst.i.tution in terror. If the werewolf and vampire students did not wish to, they were not given this choice.

That night, the Dawn siblings, Asher Light, Conri Lycaon, and Athan Vladimir shared a vacant house with Asher Light, Conri Lycaon, and Athan Vladimir. They were presently gathered in the living room, which had an unpleasant mood. They were all looking at Athan Vladimir, who didn't want to get engaged with them. Because he was wrapped from head to toe, they didn't even recognize him throughout the battery. He would have a.s.sumed he was one of the Earl's subordinates if it hadn't been for Duke Luther dragging him away with them.

Asher Light asked, "What were you doing there?"

"Mission from the duke. Don't overthink things. I am no longer interested in the position as an heir. I only attended that ceremony to do my duties." Athan Vladimir said.

Conri Lycaon looked at him with scrutinizing eyes and said, "You aren't the type to make a move without merit for yourself. Speak, what are your orders and what can you get for completing?"

"It's my private matter. Why should I inform you about it!?" Athan Vladimir retorted.

Esther Dawn suddenly spoke which made Athan Vladimir change his expression, "Your special const.i.tution. Did you ask Lord Luther for a mission in exchange for letting you protect Amber?"

"It is none of your business. I've finished my task. I'm going to take my leave." Athan Vladimir said as he turned into a group of bats and left the house. The other four who were left behind didn't stop him as they weren't even friends. Only Amber Dawn shouted by the window saying,

"Thank you for helping me tonight." shouted Amber Dawn.

Just a frigid breeze replied to her remarks since no one else had. Athan Vladimir seemed to have taken off as fast as he could simply to get out of the area. He clearly had no plans to spend time alone with her elder brother and two friends. Yet she remembered how this man had tried to a.s.sist her and her friend when one of his minions attempted to murder them. He may appear haughty and proud all of the time, yet he is a gentle soul at heart.
