As soon as Felina heard the scream of High Duke Oris, she got alert. She instantly dropped down to the ground.
Just as she laid down on the ground, thousands of dark red needles came out of Nomag's body and flew in every direction, all around him. The needles were faster than lightning as they struck the barrier. Cracks started developing on the barrier, but instantly, another round of needles came.
The barrier broke, and the needles spread everywhere.
Since it was an attack of Nomag that was at a much higher level than High Duke Magna had assumed the battles to have, the barrier was broken instantly. If he knew that Nomag would use the skill he told him to not use before mastering it, then he would have used a stronger barrier, but he only used the one that he thought to be most appropriate.
The barrier was broken, and the needles were flying everywhere, but the Dukes weren't worried about themselves since this attack was from a kid. Even though it was a strong attack, Nomag wasn't able to bring out its full powers. They were easily able to protect themselves against these Needles by simply dodging, but there was one person that couldn't stop the needle.
Ryder knew that he would be badly hurt if the needle hit them. Just as the Needle got near him, High Duke Magna jumped to his left and pushed Ryder.
Both High Duke Magna and Ryder fell down on the ground as the Needle passed, missing Ryder.
High Duke Magna knew that if something happened to Ryder because of his son, then his son would definitely be executed. He needed to save Ryder at all costs. Ryder was the Prince, and his death was going to be a big matter, and he wouldn't be able to save his son in case of a mishap.
Since Ryder was still holding the Wine glass in his hand, as soon as he fell down, the glass broke in his hand. The glass stabbed his skin and made him bleed. Ryder's hand started bleeding.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" High Duke Oris let out as he helped Ryder up.
"Yeah, it's nothing. I am perfectly fine," Ryder let out as he noticed that his hand had healed because of his nature of healing, but the blood was still left on his hand.
Just as he was about to wipe the blood, a terrifying aura filled the place.
Ryder could feel the atmosphere getting cold. He even forgot to wipe his hand, which was covered in his blood.
The High Dukes started looking towards the entrance of the Great Hall in full seriousness.
"We have guests; it seems," High Duke Mila muttered.
After a few seconds, they saw a person step inside the Great Hall.
It was a man who looked like he was in his thirties.
The man had a muscular body. His nails were blood red in color and looked as sharp as the wolf's claws.
There was also a necklace around his neck, which had a big red crystal inside it near his chest.
The Person had short silver hair that only came down to his shoulders behind his back. His eyes were blood-red, which seemed like the eyes of a hungry wolf.
"Vampire King, I don't remember sending you an invitation to my birthday. It's fine, though. We welcome all guests. Since you're here, how about, you have a drink?" High Duke Oris joked as he saw Vampire King coming in uninvited.
"I don't think you brought your army here. So this doesn't seem like an invasion. What brought you here?" High Duke Magna let out with a frown. He was more straight on point.
While the High Dukes were talking to him, they noticed that his focus was not on them. The Vampire King was gazing at Ryder. More specifically, he was looking at Ryder's hand.
"It's the same blood I found there. It smells the same. You were there!" The Vampire King let out as a powerful aura appeared around him. He was the King of Vampires, and he had a particular link with blood. He could recognize the smell of the blood as long as it was not inside someone's body.
When the blood was inside the body, it was surrounded by the force of life, which prevented his senses, but when a person was bleeding, or the blood was outside, he could smell that. He had smelled the blood in the Valley of Wandering Souls and found Ryder's floor to match the blood there.
"Vampire King, I don't think your intentions are right. You can't talk to our Crown Prince like that!" High Duke Milana chided the Vampire King.
"I am here to take my men back! Where is Viden! Give him back, and I'll leave" Vampire King ignored her words and asked Ryder in a loud tone.
'Crap, he knows. How is this possible? We made sure that no one knew about us there,' Ryder thought with a frown when he suddenly noticed the dried blood on his hand that had instantly dried.
'Fuck, it's the blood! He must've gotten a smell of the blood! How can I be so careless!' Ryder scolded himself in his mind, but on his face, he kept a calm expression.
"You must be the Vampire King. I'm the Crown Prince of the Demon Realm. If you can tell me who this Viden is, I might be able to help you find him in the Demon Realm if he's here," Ryder let out in a normal tone. No guilt was visible on his face.
"I came here alone, not to fight, but to take Viden back! Give him to me if he's alive. Otherwise, I'd be forced to believe that you have killed him!" Vampire King once again let out.
"What the heck are you talking about! Why would we know the whereabouts of your men!" High Duke Elton let out, shaking his head.
"All of you can lie, but I know that one or more High Dukes came to the Undead Region with him! You guys entered the Valley of Wandering Soul and took the gem of the Guardian of the Valley, but I don't care about the gem. Give me Viden that you kidnapped, and I will leave, otherwise..." The Vampire King declared, but before he could finish, High Duke Magna cut him off.
"Vampire King! Don't forget that this is not your Undead Region! This is the Demon Realm! Don't ever try to threaten us or the result won't be good!" High Duke Magna let out furiously.
"All of you are the same. I thought that the Death Domain was bad for using our people like weapons, but you guys are just the same. I feel disgusted just being in this dirty place. I will ask once again. Will you tell me where Viden is, or have you killed him already?" Vampire King asked Ryder in a stern tone.
"You..." High Duke Magna was about to say something when Ryder stopped him.
"There is no benefit in getting angry. Let me talk to him," Ryder told Magna before he started looking at the Vampire King.
"As I said before, there must be a misunderstanding. I don't think any of us have left the Demon Realm. I have been here for a long time. Also, I don't think any of us have time to go to the Undead Region. As for the gems, Our Demon Realm has tons of gems. Why would we go to take yours? There are already so many matters for us to handle. Whatever misunderstanding there is between us, let us handle it through talks. If you need any help to find your men, the Demon Realm will be willing to help you," Ryder said as he took a single step forth.
"You hypocrite!" The Vampire King thundered as he lost his calm after seeing Ryder talk like an innocent person even after he knew that Ryder had been to the Undead Region. He disappeared from his position and appeared before Ryder as he reached out his hand towards Ryder's neck.
"Where do you think you are!" High Duke Magna said as he moved like lightning and held the hand of the Vampire King that was reaching out towards Ryder and threw him away.
The Vampire King crashed on the wall. The wall of the Great Hall was broken as Vampire King flew outside.
"Mila, take His Highness and the others away. He might be injured if he stays here. We'll handle the Vampire King," High Duke Oris let out as he cracked his knuckles.
"You don't need to get involved. I am enough for him," High Duke Magna let out in annoyance.
"We can finish it fast if it's the two of us. Also, don't underestimate the enemy," High Duke Oris said as he smiled.
"Your Highness, let's leave," High Duke Mika said as she reached out her hand.
"You won't leave! You are the main culprit! I won't leave before I kill you!" The Vampire King roared as he flew back inside the Great Hall.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
