"I---will murder you!"
Jas uttered these four words and looked at Vladimir with wild and angry eyes as he gently insulted him and his kin. Indeed, he was strangely torn between sadness and anger.
"Oh young man, you cannot kill . I may be weakened, but I am like Zeus, like Nyx or Odin, like Gaia and Sun-Wukong, I have made it to the 150th floor. How can you kill when you don't even have 1% of the strength of the person who imprisoned here?" Vladimir replied and with that, he looked deeply at Jas.
Jas sohow managed to get to his feet. His holy sword had not left Clarent even after the blow he had received.
"Even if I die, I will sohow co back and kill you, if I have to beg the tower to kill a traitor," Jas muttered, and with that Vladimir's interest was piqued.
"Tell , what is your dream?" Vladimir suddenly asked.
Jas rolled his head at the strange question and then asked, "What?"
"Desmond, and Juliet. The three of us had a dream that this tower would beco more useful and sufficient so that all races could live together: Vampires, White Witches, who could be considered human, and normal humans. I don't know if this dream was fulfilled, after all, I can't see outside, but we did our best for this dream. Even if my betrayal turned everything upside down, it was always our first goal before my betrayal. What about your dream? What do you want? The Tower has always been about [wants and desires]. What do you want?"
Vladimir waited where he was after saying one thing after another. The surrounding flas were more than enough to give this vampire a good atmosphere. This was how Jas realised after a long ti that he was indeed looking at an incredibly beautiful being.
Still, he knew he shouldn't be confused by these things. When he lost the strength in his leg and fell to the ground, he looked at Vladimir and then said, "I have two dreams."
"Hmm?"
Jas spoke up as Vladimir's curiosity was further piqued:
"My first dream is to reach the end of this tower, to literally tear through the tower and reach Chaos himself," Jas said, and the gleam in Vladimir's eye was clear to see.
"The second is to bear the sorrow of all those oppressed after the war, to be the father of children who have been alone all these years, kidnapped and perhaps killed, in short, to create a tower where no child will cry," Jas added, and with that, he fell silent, took out a health potion from his inventory and drank it.
After drinking the health potion, Jas took a deep breath and then looked up into Vladimir's face as he was recovering.
Jas once again witnessed the expression on the Sun Vampire's face. Vladimir was smiling again, but this ti it was not a smile of contempt, but a smile of appreciation. Vladimir's smile made Jas feel as if he was looking at Nyx, as if he was offering a fatherly...or unclely, as another way of putting it.
"That's...That is sothing I can accept." Vladimir said, and suddenly the nails on his right hand changed and beca a claw.
As each part of its claw was coated in an aura of imnse power, it sliced thinly through the palm of his left hand and then grabbed Jas's jaw quickly, forcing it open.
Drops of blood trickled down Jas' throat as he struggled to free himself from the hand holding him. The holy sword swung at Clarent repeatedly with all its might, but each strike literally bounced off Vladimir's skin.
After a while, Vladimir let go of Jas' jaw, and then the following voice ca out of Jas on the ground:
"Uagh....What did you do to ?!"
As Jas uttered these words, Vladimir's voice was heard:
"I made you drink my blood, the blood of a Sun Vampire, you are very lucky, even Desmond would beg for my blood. I gave him so when he put here for him to forgive . Didn't happen, yet at least that is how I could forget everything."
When Jas heard these words, he suddenly looked up and stared at Vladimir in horror.
"Desmond...the reason he was able to achieve a long life..."
"Yes. I gave Desmond my blood, the blood of a god. I don't know when he died, but my blood was the biggest factor in his survival up until then, but I didn't even make him drink his holy blood. Like I said, you're lucky."
Jas's confusion grew with each word he heard as his bewildernt grew.
"So, you're going to turn into a vampire?" Jas asked.
"No, but yes. You are going to have a little part of a Sun Vampire which will make you correct your body shape and you will be able to collect mana and aura faster. Which will make you an even stronger god when you ascend to the 76th floor."
After Vladimir's words, Jas shook his head and said, "But I want to remain a human..."
"Your goal is to beco a god, am I right?" Vladimir asked.
"Yes."
"Humans cannot beco gods when they want to remain human. When they give up their humanity, then the path to godhood opens for them. This is a feature of human creation. Rember Chaos created many things, but his masterpieces are the Supre Dragons, the first three admins of the tower and the human race itself." Vladimir said and with that, he smiled and patted Jas on the head.
While Jas was trying to understand what was going on, Vladimir's voice was heard once again:
"I felt your energy when you entered the dungeon, I may have betrayed Desmond, but as I said...I had my reasons. It was never my intention to kill you, think of it as a test, like a test the Blessed will give you. I betrayed my friend, it is my duty to help his descendants. Who knows, maybe I was destined to et you. I would kill you if you were not worthy but since you are perhaps it was my destiny."
These words were more than shocking to Jas, he really couldn't believe his ears...
