Nameless King

Much depended on Wain's response. He could either ignore Vlad's offer or accept it, and each decision had its pros and cons.

If Wain were to join the vampires, it would mean feuding with the angels, at least a certain portion of them.

Wain smiled predatorily and said, "I've fought an angel once before, and that encounter left me with a bad impression. Though it was a condition of our deal, you helped me and kept your word. I will do the same in return."

Vlad smiled, and red lightning flashed in his eyes. He spread his arms apart and proclaimed, "Great! Then let's go and show the angels that they made a grave mistake in attacking us. Ellen, you stay with your mother and Lucian. It's not up for discussion."

The girl nodded. Though Ellen was the older sister, she was much weaker than Ena. Lucian wanted to join the fight, but he knew that it was a bad idea in his condition.

"It turns out we'll go as a foursome." Vincent muttered and walked over to Wain. He looked at him intently and said, "Vlad seems to trust you, but I'll watch you closely. If you decide to hurt any of my children, I will rip your heart out with my own hands."

Vincent had a complicated relationship with Vlad and Ena, but he truly loved his children and would do anything for them. It wasn't always evident, as he was the kind of man who preferred to act rather than talk.

"Huh, you're not a bad father. Don't worry, Vlad's warrior spirit impressed me. Moreover, I have nothing in common with angels." Wain said, and the mask of an aristocrat appeared in his hand.

He put it on, and his aura seemed to disappear. This surprised the vampires. Vincent stood in front of Wain, but it was as if Wain did not exist.

"How interesting." Vincent smiled.

Wain flapped his cloak and headed for the exit of the manor.

...

The Tran Family House was to the east, while the entrance to the city was to the west. From there, the sounds of battle could be heard, and the shock waves of explosions could be heard.

Wain, Vlad, Vincent, and Ena were not the only ones who decided to go out to fight the angels. Though vampires were lazy by nature, the smell of blood from a fierce battle instantly awakened their fighting spirit. Vampires were fearsome in battle, for over time, they increased in tempo and grew stronger.

Many paid attention to the mysterious masked man walking beside them. The Tran family was quite famous in Terrin. They were one of the strongest families in town, especially when the oldest son of the family came home, everyone knew that.

The vampires were curious about what kind of a person he was and why he was hiding his face and information about himself.

...

"Brother, we're almost there. I want to fight with you!" Ena exclaimed as they approached the battlefield.

Dozens of angels tried to make their way in, but the vampires wouldn't let them. The angels attacked them with light and fire, the strongest elements against the vampires, but it wasn't enough. The angels' main problem was that the city was underground and no sunlight.

"Okay, I lost recently, I don't regret it, but I must numb the pain of defeat with another series of victories." Vlad uttered and pointed his hand toward the angels.

The clouds thickened overhead. Vlad clenched his hand into a fist, and a pillar of red thunder struck the center of the battlefield. Both angels and vampires were affected by this attack, but the situation for the angels became dramatically worse.

Angels, unlike vampires, could not regenerate as quickly. In case of mortal danger, a vampire could flee to his house, and the angels would hardly be able to get to him.

"Vlad, you seem to have grown even stronger than before." Vincent said, and a large sword with a red blade appeared in his hand.

The sword was covered in bloody spikes, and Vincent burst into action. He grabbed one angel by the arm and cut him in two with one swing of the sword. The angel's blood soaked into the sword, and Vincent's aura intensified. His weapon had a special effect, similar to the way vampires recovered their strength by drinking blood.

"Ena, help your father."

"What? But I wanted to fight beside you!"

"Don't be stubborn. Father sometimes succumbs too much to the fun and can get in trouble. We just healed mother, and I don't want a father to get seriously injured after that. Cover for him. I'll be sure to join you a little later."

Ena frowned but did as Vlad said. He was the only one Ena listened to. Even Marine couldn't influence her youngest daughter. She had a violent and unruly temper.

Wain was in no hurry to join the fight. His goal was to make himself known to the vampires and show that he was worth being friends. Wain counted on the fact that the Tran Family could then serve as a bridge to build a relationship between the humans and the vampires.

"Vlad, this town is run by noble families right? How many are there in all?"

"Hmm? Why do you decide to ask me that now? There are quite a few noble families in Terrin, but seven of them are major families, each with an elder. My father is one of the elders. These are some of them." Vlad said, pointing to the side.

In the distance stood several groups of vampires. Each of them looked strong and majestic. A noble aura emanated from them, and their gaze was calm despite the chaos. Some had already joined the fight, but others were waiting for something.

"They stand aside as they realize this is only the beginning. If Lucian killed someone very important, then almost all the angels from that place, both weak and strong, will come for revenge."

"I see. Okay, I'll leave you to it. I guess I'll join in the fun, too." Wain said, and his aura began to intensify.
