Chapter 601 The Purification
The Lamia thought for a moment, but she wasn't in a position to make demands. The deal she had proposed to Vicente was much better for him than for her, so there was no reason for him to betray her.
Of course, that could happen, but in this disadvantageous situation, she had to step forward and accept the danger.
"What do you want to know?" The Lamia asked.
"Let's start with why your group came to this place. What were Ogres, Cyclopses, and Lamias doing together in the Seidel Kingdom? Your home is in the north of the continent, far from here." Vicente said as Joshua watched the situation in silence.
The Lamia sighed before she started with the most important thing. "The Purification. Have you ever heard of it?"
"I don't know much about it, but I've been told about it." He pointed to the young soldier not far from them.
The Lamia looked at Joshua and instantly realized that Vicente's knowledge of the subject must be shallow.
"Well, then, you know next to nothing. The Purification is not just a plan. It's a prophecy. In the ancient past, in the largest clan of this race, the Demonix, a great vampire with phenomenal powers arose.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm But contrary to what one would expect from such a great vampire, he did not become one of the pillars of his clan or his people. This monster betrayed his people by revealing to the continent the legend of The Purification, a then-distant destiny. Still, one that he ensured would be the beginning of chaos and the end of the Age of Magicians.
That was 50,000 years ago, when Cassius single-handedly sparked the Third Vampire Uprising, causing widespread war in the north of the continent.
According to legend, Cassius informed the continent's forces of Demonix's plan to bring revolution to Polaris Realm.
Vampires have always been among the strongest in the land, but they have never truly ruled the continent.
The vampires have always wanted to change that. They have been planning a tremendous demonic ritual to increase the power of their race. They would then purge the continent of those they consider to be the main pillars of society today.
Vicente had no mercy for these creatures, so even though he understood the monsters' motivation, he didn't change his mind about what he would do if he encountered more of them.
He would kill them without blinking an eye!
"I see. So it's likely that several groups like yours are scattered throughout the kingdom." Vicente commented, looking at the Lamia, while Joshua couldn't help but worry.
"Probably." She confirmed.
"Shit! That's terrible! What are we going to do when these monsters turn on our cities? The kingdom is in great danger!" Joshua commented to Vicente, very worried about the future.
Vincent ignored Joshua for a moment and asked the Lamia. "I found a vampire in the Chutha Dynasty. Is there any possibility that this vampire went to that place because of the problems approaching us?"
"A vampire in the Chutha Dynasty?" Joshua's eyes widened in awe.
The Lamia narrowed her eyes. "It's hard to say. There are definitely cases of vampires who turn against their clans or even their race. But the vast majority of them are loyal to the groups they belong to. Hardly any of them would run away because of The Purification.
And I think it's unlikely that a vampire would go to the Chutha Dynasty to carry out a plan related to The Purification. Unless others of his race accompanied him, he was probably only there for matters unrelated to it."
Vicente sighs, thinking that things wouldn't be so worrying if that were the case. Better a vampire acting alone than vampire clans acting around him and his family!
He looked at Joshua and said. "Don't worry so much. As much as it's likely that the whole continent will suffer from these monster movements, they're on the run and probably don't want any trouble.
They'll certainly leave a trail of blood and damage wherever they go, but it's unlikely that they'll try to invade or attack cities. This movement isn't about fighting the magicians on the continent. It's about running away from the problem in the north."
Joshua didn't know if he could be satisfied with that because, as much as it was probably true, it didn't change the fact that several groups of monsters were already in the kingdom.
When The Seven Day Tsunami began, those closest to the monsters would suffer!
