The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 176 176: The Missing Carriage



The streets of the Kingdom of Wolves were covered in blood, and a figure stood on top of the Royal Castle, looking over the destroyed City.

There was no happiness or sadness on Vor\'s face. He stood like a lifeless puppet. Looking at the blood everywhere, he couldn\'t help but remember the time when the blood belonged to his family, that was killed right before his eyes. The glove was on the other hand now.

The sky above him was already covered in dark Clouds, giving the impression that it was going to rain, but even the rain didn\'t come down. It was as if even the rain didn\'t dare to clean the blood from the streets.

Vor closed his eyes, feeling the cold winds brush against his skin. The wind carried the stench of blood with it.

There were two sides, still waiting for Vor to leave.

"This was faster than even I expected," Ramiun frowned, slightly amazed at the battle himself.

He knew Vor was strong and could give a tight competition to Razil. The Wolves of this era were not as strong as in the past, after all. However, even he didn\'t expect that Vor would finish the battle so soon. It was as if this was a child\'s play.

Even he was surprised at Vor\'s actual strength, slightly worried as well. Vor was supposed to be a tool to take out the Kingdom of Wolves, but that tool could just as easily attack them. Ramiun was unsure how long even he could survive before Vor.

There was a small part of him that was second-guessing his decision of freeing Vor. Unfortunately, it was too late to worry about his decision at this point.

He just waited for Vor to leave the Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Wolves was destroyed, all because of some people\'s scheme to get Atlan back. Meanwhile, Atlan was already free. He had also given his Key Fragment to Atlas.

Now Atlas had access to three of the Key Fragments. Only one key Fragment was left to still retrieve... The Key Fragment of the only Progenitor who was still not awake... The Key Fragment of Ramiel, which was with Ramiun.

Atlas, Lilith, and Lancaster returned to where the Carriage was supposed to be waiting for them. Surprisingly, the Carriage wasn\'t there! There was not even a sign of the carriage.

"The Carriage isn\'t here," Lancaster pointed out.

"I can see that too," Lilith responded in a snarky tone.

"It seems our driver decided that it was better to run away." Atlas smiled wryly. "I won\'t blame him. What happened in the city must\'ve scared him. And what better time to run away."

"Instead of finding it amusing, shouldn\'t you be worried? The nearest town from this place is fifty kilometers away." Lilith rolled her eyes, believing that Atlas was taking it too lightly. "We would have to walk that distance ourselves without the carriage."

"That\'ll waste quite some time for sure." Atlas agreed, "even if we fly."

"Do we have any other choice?" Lancaster scratched the back of his head. "The worst part is that our extra clothes were also in the Carriage. Without that, I\'ll have to walk in this..."

His body was barely covered by any clothes since he had transformed. Even Atlas\' current clothes were covered in blood.

"I guess we\'ll find some clothes in the city. Until then, you can use it." Atlas took off his cloak and handed it over to Lancaster.

Lancaster used the cloak like a towel and wrapped it around his waist, still feeling awkward. Unfortunately, they had no other option.

Everyone was already tired from the battle, and now they had to travel even more.

"I\'m already out of my flight spells for now. I can\'t use them for quite some time," Lilith explained before asking, "You?"

"I can still use it, but I want to reserve my strength. With each usage, I lose some time of my existence. And the time we save through flight might not be enough to offset what I\'ll lose from using flight on all of us."

Atlas also explained his side on why he couldn\'t use the spell.

"That means we\'ll just have to walk." Lilith sighed as she started walking in the direction of the next city. She was already very tired after fighting.

She had a normal human stamina, after all, unlike Atlas and Lancaster. After fighting for so long, she also had to walk fifty kilometers. Still, she didn\'t complain.

"Come here."

Atlas held Lilith\'s hand, pulling him closer to him. Lilith was abruptly pulled back, only to end up sticking close to Atlas.

"W-what are you doing?" She asked with a flushed face.

Before answering, Atlas placed his other hand under Lilith\'s legs and picked her up like a princess.

"You already worked a lot today. Lancaster And I have supernatural stamina because of what we are now, but you don\'t. I\'ll carry you to the next city."

"You know I can still walk?" Lilith said, avoiding Atlas\' gaze.

"You know it can still carry you?" Atlas answered. "If we\'re talking about things we could do, the list would be long. So stop complaining."

Standing in the back, Lancaster scratched the ridge of his nose, not speaking and interrupting this moment of the two.

Atlas started walking while carrying Lilith with him. Lancaster walked right beside them.

"I think next time we hijack a carriage, we should take proper precautions to make sure the driver doesn\'t run, abandoning us," Lancaster suggested, mixing with a little non serious joke. "I suggest we tie the drivers hands and legs."

"Or can we take a wheel of the Carriage with us so he can\'t take the carriage? We can carry that wheel on our back," Atlas laughed, answering in the same manner.

"The sight would certainly be fun to watch." Lancaster also started laughing. "You carry a wheel; I\'ll carry another. As for Lilith... She will be buried under a wheel\'s weight, so she can carry the reins instead."

"You! You know I can toss you to a volcano, right?" Lilith responded.

"Without using a spell?" Lancaster smiled. "I would love to see you do that. Anyway, we\'re just joking. We know you can carry a wheel. You can carry my share of wheels. I\'ll carry the reins."

"Your jokes aren\'t funny," Lilith rolled her eyes. "If anything, I\'ll carry the carriage driver with me!"

"It\'s a deal then," Atlas laughed. "Next time we leave our Carriage, we\'ll be bringing two wheels and one driver with us."

"Sounds like a plan."

Throughout the country, the three people kept talking and having fun, enjoying the journey and bonding even more in the process.
