Chapter 218: Chapter 173 History_2

Therefore, in order to fulfill his own plan of becoming a pureblood vampire, the man began to set his scheme in motion. He first acquired the Star of Azura from a necromancer, modified it, and sent others to find the location where the princess was asleep. In his mind, as long as he could awaken the princess and use the modified Star of Azura to absorb her soul, he would be able to control the last pureblood royal of this world.

He even fantasized about breeding a new vampire race after becoming a pureblood royal himself. Once a large group of vampires descended from royalty, who are not afraid of sunlight, appeared, he would then be able to conquer the world and turn it into a domain of the Demon God.

“Pfft.”

The man’s head shattered like a walnut, with brain matter and blood staining the surroundings. Duanmu Huai gave his hand a flick and tossed the headless corpse into the fire.

“Well, I’ve had enough of your fantasies. So tedious.”

“Yes indeed…”

The Watchman also gazed at the headless body being swallowed by the flames with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say.

“I…once thought vampires were the most evil creatures in the world, but I didn’t expect humans to commit such unimaginable atrocities.”

“It’s the result of the Demon God’s manipulation.”

Duanmu Huai responded expressionlessly. Although in reality, many similar cases occurred where the evil gods would claim that it’s human nature to be selfish and brutal. Thus, they would act out in corrupt ways even without their guidance. It’s only a matter of time before they fall into wickedness.

But for Duanmu Huai, this was pure nonsense.

Suggesting they would act this way even without you? The reality is you led them to their fall, right?

Like these guys, would they dare to attack the Vampire Kingdom if you hadn’t sent your followers to deceive them?

In other words, you are the root cause aren’t you?

What nonsense about human nature. Do you think, as a judge, I would believe your bullshit?

As far as I’m concerned, the Demon God is definitely the one to blame, it’s not humanity’s fault.

All this is the result of the Demon God’s manipulation.

So, I need to confront the one who is really responsible. That’s the most important thing.

In Duanmu Huai’s view, anyone who blames anything on “human nature” is talking nonsense. Even a rabbit, when driven to desperation, will bite. So, aren’t you supposed to blame the one who drove the rabbit to bite, instead of blaming the rabbit for having a bad nature? If a rabbit with a good nature is pushed to the edge, wouldn’t it bite too?

What kind of stupid logic is this?

If you really want to discuss this, let’s wait until all of you manipulative Demon Gods and Evil Gods are wiped out. Then we will have plenty of time to discuss what human nature is all about.

Before that, you have to bear the blame. Don’t even think about shirking your responsibility.

“Come on, let’s stop here for now. We’ll discuss the rest tomorrow.”

Duanmu Huai shook his head, turned and left the room. The Watchman stared at the body in the fire for a moment, then also turned to leave.

In the corridor, Duanmu Huai ran into Greiya.

“Where’s Bambi?”

“She’s asleep.”

Greiya glanced at the bedroom door and replied quietly.

“It appears that Bambi is indeed hit hard… I suppose it can’t be helped, given that her entire race has been wiped out, leaving only her… for Bambi, it must feel like she is in a dream…”

Greiya shook her head helplessly at this point. She could imagine the pain Bambi was going through. For them, this was an event that took place hundreds of years ago, but for Bambi, she was enjoying a happy life in the castle just a few days ago, attending festive banquets. But after she woke up, her kingdom had been destroyed, all of her kind murdered, and the castle had been occupied …

Yes, things have changed, and she was confronted with the harsh reality.

“You should stay with her. We’ll deal with the rest tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Greiya nodded and returned to the bedroom. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai went to the balcony next to him, overlooking the roaring fire below – After killing the group of vampires, he had summoned puppets to throw their bodies into the fire and burn them, while conducting a thorough search of the entire castle to avoid any potential survivors.

At least everything seemed to be going smoothly for now.

However, at that moment, a voice emerged in Duanmu Huai’s mind.

[Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight, are you asleep?]

“Ann? What’s wrong?”

Hearing Ann’s voice, Duanmu Huai smiled. Through the Soul Card, he could communicate mentally with his summoned creatures anytime, anywhere. At least it was a convenient ability. They could communicate over great distances.

However, they could only communicate with Duanmu Huai, and not with each other.

[Are you still awake? What about Greiya? You guys are alright, right? No problems?]

As expected, Ann brought up Greiya within three sentences, which is typical of her.

“Greiya is fine, just a little trouble…”

Duanmu Huai concisely explained the situation of the Vampire Kingdom to Ann, leaving her with mixed emotions.

[I can’t believe such things can happen… How is Miss Bambi doing?]

“She’s taken a hit and is sleeping now. I asked Greiya to stay with her. She should be fine.”
