The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

This chapter is additionally provided in reward for the Alliance Hierarch "Battle Song of the Gods." Speaking of which, the warlord has switched to an alternate account to reward the Alliance Hierarch...

Vampires who move through the dark night, especially the powerful purebloods, seldom encounter situations where they are ambushed and killed because they rely on the escape ability of Blood Magic - Bat Incarnation.

Therefore, Fomuir Black Knight had no defense against the message from Bloody Mary and turned directly into a bat, following behind Bloody Mary and flying over to the mountains opposite Trapped Dragon Mountain. Moments after they reached a dense forest, just as he was about to land and revert to human form.

A large net was suddenly thrown over him.

Fomuir's reaction speed was not much slower than Tuobert's before him. He immediately exploded into countless bats and scattered in all directions. However, an ambush with the element of surprise still managed to ensnare most of his incarnations, and they emitted the sound of burning and deep-frying.

Only four bat incarnations managed to escape.

At that moment, Liszt, who had cast the net, turned into flames and directly snuffed out one bat incarnation before swiftly charging at the second one.

Simultaneously, Crimson Peggy and Blood Hamill fiercely pounced on the third bat, while Night Demon Wimbleton and One-Eyed Uso fiercely attacked the fourth one. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

Bloody Mary struggled to control the Bloodlight Web, preventing this group of bat incarnations from breaking through the magic equipment.

Pop!

Having crushed the second incarnation bat, Liszt turned around to crush the third and fourth ones that were held back, returning to the location of the Bloodlight Web. With Dragon Dou Qi erupting, he ground the group of incarnated bats to pieces amid their screams. The blood magic power from all the bat incarnations flowed out, coalescing into Fomuir's body.

He was more decisive than Tuobert, dead through and through—a Quasi-Dragon Knight ambushing a vampire was akin to a strong man bullying an infant.

Liszt took the handkerchief passed by Crimson Peggy and wiped the blood off his hands, signaling for Bloody Mary to take action. While the corpse's blood magic power had not yet dissipated, it was crucial to quickly extract the heart and retrieve the equipment.

The harvest was substantial.

A pureblood vampire's original heart, filled with surging blood magic power, had several Blood Servants staring fixedly with gleaming eyes.

Three mixed-blood vampire hearts, placed in a box.

A set of formal attire, unique to vampires.

A short sword resembling a military dagger with Wind Language "Silver Oath" carved on it. It shared the same name as Tuobert's dagger, a hereditary magic equipment from the Black Knight Family—but with a different design and virtually identical functions.

A Blood Mask, a book on Reincarnation Ritual, and a Blood Extractor Needle.

A wild beast's tooth the length of a finger, which was also some type of magic equipment, emanating a strong scent of blood magic power; a spiked whip, and a Purple Sapphire ring.

Liszt squeezed the heart.

Fomuir's three followers, Enchantress Phoebe, the dark-robed Vansa, and Fang Seth, quickly rushed over and declared their allegiance to the ranks of the Blood Servants after Bloody Mary's threats and narration. Among them, Enchantress Phoebe was Fomuir's confidante and was very knowledgeable about his equipment.

"This tooth is the fang of the Super Magical Beast - Bloodthirsty Bat, a hereditary magic equipment passed down through generations of the Black Knight Family. Not only does it greatly amplify the training and spellcasting for vampires, but blood exchange rituals can also be performed through the Bloodthirsty Bat Fang to increase the purity of the purebloods' blood lineage," said Phoebe.

Liszt raised an eyebrow, "Super Magical Beast? What does a Bloodthirsty Bat look like?"

"I haven't seen one, sir. The Black Knight Family's heritage is ancient, and whether this Bloodthirsty Bat Fang truly belongs to a Super Magical Beast is unclear," replied Enchantress Phoebe, who was average-looking except for her grand, soaring chest, "This whip is called the Whip of Wails, primarily used for... stimulation."

"Skip that, tell me about this Purple Sapphire ring."

"I am not sure of the name of this ring, sir. Its effect is to fill one with vitality, greatly increasing the rate of magic power recovery," she explained.

"That is a very good piece of equipment," Liszt was quite satisfied with the Purple Sapphire ring and without hesitation, slipped it onto his left index finger.

In the Duchy of Sapphire, or what one may call the customs of Steel Ridge Kingdom, there are only two conventional ways of wearing rings—worn on the left middle finger by gentlemen and on the right middle finger by ladies implies engagement; worn on the left ring finger by gentlemen and on the right ring finger by ladies signifies marriage.

Wearing rings on any other finger is merely a matter of adornment or equipment—wealthy knights and magicians donning gemstone rings on every finger are not an uncommon sight.

Dou Qi activated the Purple Sapphire ring.

He suddenly felt a mysterious force being conducted from the gemstone into his body, invigorating him with a vitality indescribable by words, as if the cells of his body were boiling with activity every moment. Each gemstone was filled with astonishing power.

Only then did he turn to Bloody Mary, "The hunt this time went very smoothly, Mary. You have contributed to my success, and naturally, I won't shortchange you. This heart of Tuobert now belongs to you. However, I am currently too busy to oversee your cultivation and transformation, so after we take Trapped Dragon Mountain, you can properly absorb this heart."

Suppressing her excitement and desire, Bloody Mary replied, "All is as you arrange, my lord. Everything Mary has was bestowed by you."

Liszt was pleased with her attitude.

He looked at the other seven Blood Servants, "The heart of Fomuir is in my hands and it holds no use for me. As long as you serve me loyally and achieve enough merits, it could be yours. There is a mission at hand—for now, start monitoring every exit of Trapped Dragon Mountain, not allowing a single messenger to escape!"

He paused.

Liszt casually tossed Fomuir's heart in the air, "As long as the task is completed, not just this heart, but also this great pile of equipment will be all yours, including the newly joined Blood Servants—the enchantress Phoebe, the man in black Vansa, and Fang Seth."

"Yes, my lord, we will do our utmost to complete the task!" Bloody Mary led the others in kneeling on one knee.

The remaining Blood Servants followed suit, kneeling down one after another.

In this pitch black forest,

It appeared very eerie.

...

The mid-August weather remained sweltering.

Carrying a Temperature Calming Pearl with him, Liszt enjoyed air-conditioned comfort wherever he went, much to the envy of Earl William Lee.

The Knight Order from Mesiro arrived swiftly, swiftly taking over Egret Castle. Meanwhile, Liszt led the now fully replenished mixed elite force of 800 knights on a mountainous journey. With Blood Servants scouting ahead, their progress was fairly smooth. By nightfall, they were lying in wait not far from Trapped Dragon Mountain.

After resting for the night, they would launch their attack.

The departure of Fomuir hadn't caused any commotion.

The enchantress Phoebe, the man in black Vansa, and Fang Seth managed to maintain the supervision of the overseers. Not only that, but at the suggestion of Bloody Mary, they diverted many knights from their surveillance posts, and on the eve of Liszt's planned charge, they assassinated many of the sentries on the watchtowers.

Now,

Trapped Dragon Mountain's iron mine lay stark and unprotected under the spearheads of the mixed Knight Order.

"Charge!"

At dawn,

With Liszt's fierce cry, the battle officially began. Yet his gaze passed over the stationed knights of Trapped Dragon Mountain to find two Sky Knights hastily readying themselves for combat.

In his eyes, they were not enemies.

They were glittering Gold Coins, Elves, food, Serfs, resources for Dragon Riding.
