The Accidental Vampire

Razil handed over the custody of Atlan to Zhang, bringing him out of his cell.

Atlan was still in his weakened condition. Both his hands were tied behind his back with special chains that kept him in a weakened state.

"He is your responsibility now. You're taking him, but remember, you must make sure he doesn't escape. Because if he does escape from your place, you and I are going to have a problem."

"Don't worry. He's going to be safer with me than he will be with you," Zhang smiled.

"Come, Atlan. Let me take you to your new home... A home where you'll stay for the next hundred years." He patted the shoulders of Atlan.

Atlan's lifeless eyes glared at Zhang, making him laugh out loud.

Zhang brought his lips closer to Atlan's ears before whispering. "If you thought this place was hell, you saw nothing yet."

Atlan was escorted by Zhang and Razil to a special chamber where a massive Portal Formation was created by the previous generation.

When the two sides had come together, they had established an agreement. Not only did the agreement talk about the custody of the prisoner, but it also talked about the consequences. Since they had captured a Progenitor, it was highly likely that they could be attacked by the Vampires. That's why an agreement was made to bring the two clans together.

According to that agreement, a massive formation Portal was established in the Castle of the kingdom of wolves. Another similar portal was established in the Franc Clan. It was a portal that could be used by any side to get to the other in case they needed help.

It was done so that if one clan was under attack, the other could immediately come to the rescue and fight together. Unfortunately, there was never a situation like that where any of the two clans could've needed the help of the other. That's why the Portal was rarely used.

Zhang stepped on the portal with Atlan, waving his hands at Razil. Both of them disappeared.

Zhang appeared in his clan with Atlan as a prisoner.

Over ten Wizards appeared to be waiting for him in the room as if expecting he was going to come.

Zhang grabbed the neck of Atlan, tossing him aside.

Atlan growled at being tossed, revealing his fangs. Unfortunately, he was too weak now.

"What? Want to kill me?" Zhang laughed. "Little Vampire, you might be a Progenitor for others, but for me, you're just a little puppy who is in chains that are specially made for you. In those chains, even you're no threat."

"Take the puppy and toss him in the cell. Make sure to take all the precautionary measures."

Zhang left Atlan with his men, arrogantly leaving the hall.

"Razil, if it wasn't for you, I could've had two Progenitors right now. Don't worry; I won't force you either. As soon as I get what I want from Atlan, even you will be on my feet. That day isn't far where I..."

"What safety mechanisms do they have? Other than Vampire Warding Formations? I should be able to break that formation to pass through, so it's not a problem. What else should I consider?"

Lilith had just talked about the safety mechanisms which made the Franc Clan dangerous. It made Atlas intrigued about what those were.

Lilith adjusted Atlas' arm even more, in turn moving closer to Atlas. Her head was almost near Atlas' shoulders now. This position was also more comfortable for her.

"The Vampire Warding Formations of theirs aren't ordinary. They are the peak tier spells. It's not that easy to break them, even for you."

"But it's still possible?"

"Yeah, it's possible but not the ideal option. If you break it, it'll alert the entire Franc Clan."

"So? We're attacking them. Let them know."

"No, we can't let them know. Because if we let them know and give them time, they can bring the Werewolves there, which would make it a disaster for us."

"They can bring the Werewolves? How?"

"They have a connecting formation. I got this information from Yovana, so I don't know how accurate it is, but we need to consider it real just to be safe," Lilith responded. "So if we attack, we can't give them a chance."

"Is that even possible to attack without giving them a chance to use that formation?" Atlas frowned.

No matter how fast they were after their initial attacks, it was still going to give the opponents enough time to use the Formation. Didn't it just make things worse for them? In the Kingdom of Wolves, they just had to fight the Wolves, but here they needed to fight an entire Witch Clan and the Werewolves on top of that?

"And here I thought, it was going to be easier with Zhang."

"Don't worry. That's a simple solution for that problem."

"And what is that?"

"Destroying that formation. Before attacking, we need to destroy that formation so they can't call for help when they need it. After that, they won't have any option left but to fight on their own."

"Let me guess. You're suggesting going alone once again to destroy that Formation?" Atlas rolled his eyes.

"Do we have any other option? You can't get inside unless you're invited in because of the Vampire Warding Formation. Yovana is too weak to pass through their defenses. As for Lancaster, he is a Wolf. He would be caught right away as well. He can't use the invisibility spell, unlike me. That leaves only me."

"I need to be the one to do it since only I can. But as I said, I won't fight alone. I'll only destroy the formation before joining back with you."

"And what if you're caught? What if things go wrong? Can't you send your clone for it?"

Lilith smiled wryly. "I wish I could. But it's not possible. Now don't talk more. I don't want a headache. I'll go in, so just drop this matter and let me sleep. I still have a headache from becoming.

Her consciousness was still hurting since she placed so much burden on it last time. Lilith turned to her left side, closing her eyes.

She fit snugly with Atlas, placing her arms on his chest, seemingly falling asleep right away.

Atlas could only shake his head at the stubbornness of this girl. However, he also knew that she had a valid point. If there was really a formation like that inside the Franc Clan, they really had no other option but to send Lilith alone.

He gazed at the peacefully sleeping face of Lilith before lightly tapping her cute nose. "Thank you, little one... For everything. Sleep well."
