BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82: Objectives Achieved
Seeing the psychological trauma he had left on the vampires, Theos didn\'t know whether to feel proud or happy, but he certainly felt more than satisfied.
"Relax, I\'m not going to kill you. Tell each of your companions to gather all the black stones there," Theos ordered, pointing to a specific place, where the destruction did not come.
Upon hearing Theos\' order and seeing where he pointed, he realized that he wanted the stones at that very spot, so he proceeded to tell all his fellow Vampires.
Instantly, the Vampires took the black stones there.
"Okay, now look," Theos commented, approaching the pile of black stones.
He calculated an approximate 100 kg of these stones, it seemed to him more than enough to start what he wanted to do.
"Watch," he repeated. His hand stretched out, negative mana came out of it in threads that flew through the various black rocks.
With narrowed eyes, Theos concentrated on injecting Mana into different areas of the black rocks.
*Swosh*
Slowly, the black rocks turned and transformed into a crimson color. Crimson mineral! The same one that Ezreal\'s armor had!
The vampires\' eyes glowed with curiosity, they had seen their King with this kind of material on his armor hundreds of times.
Did it turn out that this kind of super-resistant ore was always in their hands? They felt cheated! Stay with m _v _l _e _mp _y _r.
"This is Crimson Ore, some of the strongest and toughest minerals in the world, characterized by its incredible ability to resist Mana attacks," Theos continued with a smile. "The higher the quality of Mana you inject into the black stones, the higher and better quality Crimson Minerals you will get. As I have a unique and very powerful Mana, this Crimson Ore...
I have no doubt whatsoever that it is at least 10 times stronger than the King\'s armor."
Hearing Theos\' words, the vampires\' eyes glowed brighter. For a moment they had forgotten that the person in front of him brutally slaughtered a large number of his companions.
But who didn\'t want power? Who didn\'t want to feel powerful? They wanted to feel truly powerful!
Besides, they weren\'t fools, they knew that by using that Crimson Ore, they could avenge their fallen brothers... Or at least have a chance to achieve it.
And Theos\' next words gave him some hope:
"I will make you each armor with this Crimson Ore, as my army, you will have to be powerful, so don\'t let me down."
"Yes sir!" the vampires replied with a serious expression, but a smile inwardly.
"You think I don\'t see them?" asked Theos with an indifferent expression, making the vampires pretend to be surprised.
But he continued:
"They want to use the armor I\'m going to give them to try to kill me, but let me tell them, once I decide to expel my Mana from those stones, again the crimson minerals will turn into Black Stones... So you better think twice before you act!"
With this advice, Theos walked away under the trembling vampires. They had discovered his plan! Several were already expecting his death...
Instead, moving several yards away, Theos addressed all the guards who had come with him. "I give you the job of creating armor for these vampires with that material, I know you have the capabilities for that, so I have confidence in you."
"Yes sir!" the guards nodded in unison.
"Well, I\'m out of here; you guys keep watch; the vampires should train and, above all, collect more of those black stones," remembering something, he also warned. "Also, be careful at night, they become much more powerful at night, that\'s why they were so easy to defeat."
The guards nodded and bowed. "We understand! Trust us, Lord!"
Hearing the guards\' response, Theos nodded. After that, Theos and the guards talked about notifying the guards\' families about their new job and that they would be on constant duty for a whole month, but their pay would be doubled.
He\'s a villain - not a monster! So he would give his subordinates what they deserve, good pay for their work.
Knowing about the salary he would be given by having this job, the guards became happier and more enthusiastic. They were already loyal enough to the Fallen family, but now, with this young master so generous, how could they not love the Fallen family, they would follow him until the end of the world!
"Well, with all this done, I take my leave; I expect a good job from you, I will always be in touch with you, and above all, I will come soon," taking his leave, Theos walked away without waiting or listening to the farewells of his guards.
There were still things he hadn\'t explored or discovered; in fact, one of the vampires had said that there was an Invisible Armor in the territory, but Theos currently didn\'t need it, at least not urgently.
Choosing to have his subordinates search for this so-called "Invisible Armor", Theos left the Vampire Territory.
Sunlight welcomed him outside. Fortunately, there was almost no sun at all; in fact, it seemed like the last rays of the afternoon sun.
"I\'ve lasted here quite a few hours," he muttered.
Remembering his still small harem, Theos couldn\'t help but laugh. What would they be doing currently? He didn\'t know, but he was already relieved he hadn\'t brought them with him.
If he had brought them, Ezreal couldn\'t have done to them what he did. Couldn\'t use them as hostages? Besides, it was too dangerous; they would have died at any moment.
\'I should train them more; the challenges I will face later on are no less than the ones I faced today,\' Theos concluded.
Feeling weak from the Vampire race in his body, the rays of sunlight shining down on him didn\'t help matters, but he wasn\'t complaining, mostly because of what he could do with his new race.
\'We shall see my new power...\'
