Free Web NovelChapter 275: Calming Down
The roar of the vampire race shook the entire realm.
It was no longer the ordinary roar of a single race gathering together.
No.
This sound resembled an awakened species finally revealing its true nature beneath the Blood Moon.
The heavens trembled violently afterward while blood mana flooded endlessly across the skies like a crimson ocean swallowing the world.
The surrounding races immediately felt chills spread throughout their bodies.
Because every vampire present—
Every single one— ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Had changed.
The earlier exhaustion had vanished completely.
The hesitation disappeared.
Fear disappeared.
All that remained—
Was frenzy.
Pure blood frenzy.
GrandLord Dreath slowly lowered his head afterward.
His crimson eyes glowed brighter than ever before beneath the Blood Moon overhead while ancient blood authority surged around him continuously.
The surrounding Ascendant race leaders instinctively stepped backward.
Even Kael’s wolf instincts screamed danger now.
Because the vampire race no longer felt weakened.
No longer unstable.
No longer exhausted.
Instead—
They felt terrifying.
The surviving humanoid intruders realized it too.
Their pale glowing eyes widened with genuine panic afterward.
Because the battlefield balance had changed instantly.
BOOOOOOM!!!
GrandLord Dreath vanished first.
The heavens exploded violently.
One moment he floated above the arena—
The next—
He appeared directly in front of one distorted humanoid intruder.
The creature barely reacted before—
CRACK!!!
GrandLord Dreath’s claw pierced directly through its torso.
The intruder screeched horribly afterward while black blood exploded throughout the sky.
Then—
Dreath smiled.
A terrifying smile.
And tore the creature apart violently with his bare hands.
The surrounding vampires roared wildly afterward.
"ROOOOAAAR!"
The frenzy spread further.
Lord Vord surged upward next.
Blood flames exploded around his body while crimson wings manifested behind him completely.
The surviving humanoid intruders immediately unleashed curse magic desperately toward him.
Worthless.
Lord Vord smashed directly through the curse storm itself before slamming both fists into one elongated creature’s skull.
BOOOOOOM!!!
Its head exploded instantly.
Elder Achilor appeared moments later.
Ancient blood runes rotated around his body while countless crimson spears manifested behind him.
Then—
SHHHHHK!!!
The blood spears rained downward endlessly afterward.
One humanoid intruder tried escaping through spatial distortion.
The blood spear pierced through the portal itself before pinning the creature directly against the heavens.
Another attempted curse barriers.
The blood spears shattered them completely.
Another tried retreating deeper into the dark clouds.
Too late.
The transformed blood tentacles descended again simultaneously.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Now strengthened beneath the Blood Moon—
The blood monstrosities became even more horrifying.
Their tendrils moved faster.
Their pressure grew heavier.
Their regeneration became monstrous.
And this time—
The vampire race fought alongside them.
The surviving intruders immediately collapsed into complete chaos afterward.
Several distorted creatures screamed desperately while trying to regroup.
Impossible.
The vampire race had gone mad beneath the Blood Moon.
Everywhere—
Vampires attacked.
The emperor-level vampires surged upward like a giant crimson tide flooding the heavens.
Even ordinary vampire warriors became terrifyingly violent now.
Their blood mana amplified endlessly beneath the Blood Moon while frenzy strengthened their instincts completely.
The Moonshade family themselves transformed into monsters.
Former Patriarch Rivik roared wildly while ripping apart curse chains with bare hands.
Zenaya’s Blood Owl descended from the skies and tore through one humanoid intruder’s face viciously.
The ten ancestors fought together beside emperor-level vampires while blood authority surged endlessly around them.
Even weaker Moonshade members attacked ferociously now.
The surviving humanoid intruders finally lost all momentum completely.
Because they no longer faced only blood tentacles.
They faced an entire frenzied vampire race.
One elongated intruder unleashed giant curse storms desperately.
GrandLord Dreath laughed loudly afterward.
Then tore directly through the storm itself.
BOOOOOOM!!!
His claw grabbed the creature’s face violently before smashing it downward through multiple layers of dark clouds.
Another intruder attempted sacrificing its own body to activate gigantic curse formations.
Lord Vord’s blood flames consumed the formations entirely before the transformed blood tentacle devoured the screaming creature whole.
Another humanoid screeched while trying fleeing downward toward the outer realm borders.
Kael himself froze briefly after seeing dozens of frenzied vampires suddenly pounce onto it simultaneously.
The creature disappeared beneath endless claws and blood magic.
Moments later—
Only torn limbs remained falling from the heavens.
The surrounding races watched silently now.
Completely stunned.
Because the vampire race—
Had become terrifying beyond imagination beneath the Blood Moon.
The surviving Ascendant intruders rapidly dwindled afterward.
One by one—
They died.
Some torn apart by GrandLord Dreath.
Some devoured by the transformed blood tentacles.
Some ripped apart by endless frenzied vampires swarming them together.
The dark clouds themselves slowly began collapsing afterward.
The surviving humanoid creatures screamed endlessly now.
No longer invaders.
No longer predators.
Only prey.
The transformed blood tentacles hunted relentlessly through the heavens while the Blood Moon illuminated everything crimson below.
The vampire race roared continuously throughout the battlefield while blood rained endlessly across the skies.
Even the gathered Ascendants from other races no longer interfered.
Because now—
They finally understood.
The vampire race under the Blood Moon—
Was not something they wanted fighting against them.
Meanwhile—
Near the back of the gathering—
Cain quietly stared upward while the battlefield slowly settled into slaughter.
The transformed blood tentacles continued devouring the last remaining intruders while the frenzied vampires overwhelmed everything else.
His headache had eased slightly now. ƒreewebɳovel.com
The cocoons remained safe.
Faith.
Ivira.
Cornelia.
Completely unharmed.
And finally—
Cain quietly exhaled afterward.
Satisfied.
The heavens slowly quieted.
The endless screams of the humanoid intruders faded one after another until only drifting black ashes remained floating across the crimson skies.
The transformed blood tentacles still moved high above the vampire realm like ancient predators searching for surviving prey, while blood rain continued falling softly throughout the battlefield below.
Everywhere—
Destruction.
Broken curse formations floated across the heavens like shattered glass.
Black blood stained the skies.
The dark clouds that once covered the realm had mostly dispersed now beneath the overwhelming Blood Moon overhead.
And beneath that terrifying crimson moon—
The vampire race still roared endlessly.
Their frenzy had not faded yet.
Their bloodlust still surged violently throughout the realm while crimson mist poured continuously from their bodies.
Several emperor-level vampires still hunted remnants of curse energy throughout the skies.
Others stared upward wildly with glowing crimson eyes.
Even GrandLord Dreath himself continued radiating terrifying blood authority while breathing heavily beneath the moonlight.
The Moonshade family had become equally dangerous.
Former Patriarch Rivik’s claws remained extended.
Zenaya’s Blood Owl still screeched aggressively overhead.
The ten ancestors themselves continued releasing violent blood mana fluctuations throughout the battlefield.
The frenzy—
Had not ended.
Meanwhile—
Near the back of the gathering—
Cain quietly sighed.
"...Troublesome."
If the frenzy continued too long—
The vampire race might start turning on everything nearby.
The Blood Moon amplified their instincts too heavily.
And honestly—
Cain did not want further problems tonight.
He already felt exhausted enough.
So quietly—
Without anyone noticing—
Cain lowered his hand slightly.
Then softly whispered again.
"...Blood Rest."
Instantly—
The Blood Moon above pulsed softly.
BOOOOOOM!!!
A gigantic crimson wave spread silently throughout the vampire realm afterward.
Unlike earlier—
This wave carried no violence.
No bloodlust.
No frenzy.
Only calm.
The blood mana flooding throughout the skies gradually softened afterward while the transformed blood tentacles high above slowly stopped moving.
One by one—
The countless crimson eyes across their surfaces closed gently.
Then the giant appendages dissolved slowly into flowing blood mist before disappearing completely from the heavens.
The surrounding races stared upward in shock afterward.
Because the terrifying blood monstrosities—
Simply vanished.
Meanwhile—
The vampires themselves gradually began calming too.
The emperor-level vampires slowly stopped growling.
Their crimson eyes dimmed little by little.
GrandLord Dreath’s violent aura gradually stabilized.
Lord Vord’s blood flames faded.
Elder Achilor’s ancient blood runes disappeared slowly from his body.
All across the battlefield—
The frenzy receded.
The overwhelming bloodlust flooding the realm slowly dissolved beneath the soft crimson light of the Blood Moon.
The surrounding races remained completely silent while watching the transformation happen.
Because moments ago—
The vampire race resembled uncontrollable monsters.
Yet now—
They calmed almost instantly.
Like waves receding after a violent storm.
Several vampires blinked repeatedly afterward.
Confusion slowly appeared across their faces.
One emperor-level vampire looked down at his own blood-covered claws blankly.
"...What..."
Another looked around shakily.
"...What happened to us?"
The Moonshade family themselves appeared equally confused.
Former Patriarch Rivik slowly stared at the battlefield around him.
The destroyed heavens.
The black blood.
The remains of curse creatures.
The lingering pressure of countless battles.
Then finally—
His expression changed.
"...Did we..."
Zenaya slowly lowered her gaze from the skies while clutching her chest faintly.
Her Blood Owl shrank back to normal size afterward before landing weakly on her shoulder.
The ten ancestors themselves looked stunned now.
Because their memories during the frenzy felt blurred.
Incomplete.
Like fragmented dreams drowned beneath instinct and bloodlust.
All throughout the realm—
The vampire race gradually awakened from the frenzy together.
And almost immediately—
Questions erupted everywhere.
"What happened?"
"Who activated that Blood Moon?"
"That power..."
"The tentacles..."
"Who protected us?"
The surrounding races remained silent.
Because honestly—
They wanted answers too.
Kael slowly stared upward at the now peaceful Blood Moon overhead.
His wolf eyes remained deeply wary.
"...What kind of existence..."
The ancient elf Sylvera quietly gripped her staff tighter.
Even GrandLord Dreath himself looked uncertain now.
Because despite his vast experience—
Even he did not understand fully what happened tonight.
The transformed blood tentacles.
The Blood Moon.
The frenzy strengthening every vampire.
The impossible defensive dome protecting the three cocoons.
None of it matched ordinary blood authority.
None of it.
Meanwhile—
The surviving vampires slowly began looking toward the center of the arena again.
Toward the three giant cocoons still floating quietly beneath the Blood Moon.
Faith.
Ivira.
Cornelia.
The crimson dome protecting them still pulsed softly while blood mana streams flowed endlessly around their cocoons like rivers nourishing future rulers.
Silence gradually spread throughout the battlefield afterward.
Because now—
After everything that happened—
After the transformed blood tentacles slaughtered Ascendants.
After the Blood Moon strengthened the entire vampire race.
After the impossible defenses protecting the cocoons—
The surrounding vampires slowly began reaching the same conclusion.
The three sisters—
Were not ordinary anymore.
Not even close.
Several vampires slowly lowered their heads instinctively afterward.
Others stared upward with trembling expressions.
Even emperor-level vampires looked differently at the cocoons now.
Not merely with admiration.
Not merely with curiosity.
But with reverence.
And awe.
