Chapter 127 [Bonus chapter] The Beginning of Chaos II
Five minutes passed after the alter lit up and the ga component within the pit started glowing lights. Everybody present waited for what was to happen next, but for whatever reason, the process continued without showing any definite result.
The vampire lord turned to Norze to confirm if this was how it was supposed to go, but even Norze was looking a little confused.
‘I am sure it isn’t supposed to take this long, two minutes is enough for the entire ritual to be completed.’ Norze thought to himself.
“A little more.” He assured the lord as he too watched on. He had co to a quick conclusion that since they were not in their original world, it would have so effects on the ritual, so Norze decided to see how everything progressed.
One of the most important components necessary for this ritual to work was energy from their original world, and that was the entire reason why the machine to fulfil that was build. This wasn’t sothing lcior or any other vampire had done before, so they didn’t know what the portal to their own world was supposed to look like or feel like. They could only truly hope that it didn’t suck things in.
The way the machine was designed and placed, if it was a portal that sucked things in, then the entire platform and the three people on top would be dragged in. They may be able to escape easily, but if the ring placed on the altar was to fall into oblivion, that was a different story all together.
After waiting for several more minutes and nothing happened, the vampire lord voiced out his thoughts and enquired from him why it wasn’t working, and to that Norze gave him the sa answer as what he thought was the problem. But in the end, the portal was still yet to open, and they attributed the problem to co from there. lchior was quite curious as to why his creation was malfunctioning in such a way, since he has calculated all this already.
It would be different of he didn’t know where it led, as he really didn’t, but to not open at all was a different thing all together. At the mont, he was busy around the machine after descending to the control room where he placed every thing that was needed for him to control the machine. After so inspection, he still couldn’t find where the fault ca from.
‘What is wrong?’ He asked himself.
Then, a sudden realization hit him.
…
Elsewhere, Victor was busying himself around working on one of his projects. Since he had to wait a bit to get everything he needed for evolution, he decided it would be beneficial for him to learn other things. Growing stronger through levelling was no longer part of his plan, as the experience points needed for it kept growing. Though he had the title that allowed him to not experience reduction in EXP despite the level difference, getting all the experience points for the next level up was still much. He would venture into A rank dungeons from ti to ti, but that was all about that.
While Victor walked around his library, he felt a sudden surge in energy in the atmosphere, and that stopped him dead in his tracks. It was more of an energy wave that was passing through, and it was by no ans small. Since it was passing by, it beca quite apparent that it ca from sowhere.
Normally, Victor might not bother himself with such things, but this one was too strong and he needed to know what the cause was, in case he needed to prepare for sothing terrible. Also, there was sothing about the energy that just didn’t feel normal, in a strange way, it felt familiar.
He had thought about the possible invasion of aliens and such, or the ergence of so almighty existence, or even the destruction of earth, and at that mont, he had prepared for none of those scenarios.
Coming out of his library, he found the three vampires right outside his door, and theough they didn’t exactly have the expressions of their faces that sothing was off, Victor could tell what they felt, they were connected after all.
“You three wait here and be on alert. Convey the ssage to the others as well.” He said before vanishing right before them as though he was never there. They imdiately left to tell the rest of the legion Victor’s command.
Victor appeared in Under Current’s HQ that sa mont, and he was inside Maggie’s laboratory.
“Master you have arrived.”
“What’s up with that strange energy?” Victor asked as he went straight to the point.
“Well, as soon as our closest receiver picked up the energy, we tracked it back to where it ca from, and we pinpointed the origin to be this city.” Maggie said as she pointed towards one of the screens on the wall.
Victor took a look at the city, which in reality should be referred to as a ga city due to its sheer size, much like the one he used to live in after taking over Larry’s house. The location of the city was not too far away from the one he used to live in. That is of course when compared to their proximity to the others.
[AN: For the sake of simplicity, I will refer to the cities using latin alphabets]
“City E huh? Thats not too far away from City G.” Victor said as he studied the map. While he did this, he also fed the information to his system, as he would be needing it soon. “You might want to call a eting with the available mbers now and discuss whatever you have to.” Victor said while still looking at the map.
Before Maggie could respond or give any other remark however, Victor was already gone. The way his teleportation worked was really bizarre. It always felt as though he was never there to begin with, as he simply faded away, but it was still fast enough not to be caught even by Maggie, and that was saying a lot giving her strength.
..
Back at the vampire castle, a little discomfort had spread in the room where the ritual was being held, and outside so vampires had fallen into amazent of so sort. There were other vampires that weren’t as happy, but the ones that didn’t seem to care were more.
“lchior, that energy, was there perhaps a miscalculation in your work?”
