Chapter 28: A New For boo the air itself Chaotic gusts of wing rattled off against a dark, forbidding castle, set atop a lonely plateau

The plateau protruded alone from an enormous ocean, the only visible land for dozens of ht th, and several hundred e waves crashed to and fro near this plateau, frothing waves that tried to wear away the stone that had stood for tens of thousands of years

Atop the dark plateau was a se, expansive castle h the dark, overcast sky above Several large spires shot up fronificent appearance

In a room at the center of this castle, the sounds of the outside world could barely be heard Only a few faint rus indicated the presence of thunder at all, most of the noise smoothened out

This room ell lit, contrary to the dark exterior of the castle A large, stylized wooden table at three meters across lay at the center of this roo the shape of the rooe circle

Ornamental sets of armor decorated the sides of this cha scenes of battle Overhead several chandleries were set in the ceiling, glowing and giving off light

Atop the round table at the center of the room was a massive chart, covered with tens of thousands of small circles, and tens of thousands of lines, drawn fro a srey vest with a white undershirt stood, with a glass of wine in his hand, staring at this reen eyes,white hair rapped up, atop his head in a bun, with an orna a sip fro two sets of pointed teeth

"Ahh A e Is it from Touranat?&8221; Marcus Aurelius, the Head of the Aurelius Fa at the coo, by the Petruscent Kingdom’s finest winees of the roo red dress She had brilliant black hair that rolled off her shoulders, carrying herself with an elegant and powerful air She s while her purple eyes gleaiving Marcus a light bow

"But?&8221; Marcus turned slowly, the very picture of a powerful Vaave off a sense of endless ht

"But you really should consider your health,is bad for your livelihood, I’ve heard from the humans, and don’t you reot drunk and destroyed half of the Augustus Ancestral Castle-&8221; The beautiful woan, her eyes earnest

"Julia&8221; Marcus cut her off, stillwe really should consider th-&8221;

"Julia&8221; His voice contained iron in it as he spoke again, turning to glare at her,

"Woain&8221; He gave her a second glare,

"Go, off back to the shadoith you&8221; He waved his free hand at her dis for her to step backwards

Julia rolled her eyes as she turned around, and e of the rooht

Marcus sighed deeply, and then looked back down at the lass in his hand, sinking in to the ather around hinity wrapped around hi it slightly, his movee Is it fro the map before him

"Milord, do we really have time for thi-&8221;

"WOMAN! I AM 7,000 YEARS OLD, I HAVE TIME FOR EVERYTHING!&8221;

Marcus glared back at the darkness, and then gave up on the lass doith a small smile He wiped the save Julia another glare for good ht, come forth What’s the latest?&8221; He asked, his voice cal Aura seehtly constrained Authority rolled off his voice as he spoke, any faint traces ofoff completely

"I’ve just heard word froation of the Anohtly askance at Marcus,

Marcus frowned, folding his hands together,

"They survived?&8221;

"Indeed, though Gaia had her soulbound Blood Beast destroyed&8221; Julia responded

Marcus nodded, his eyes flashing, a hint of pleasure in them,

"That’s what happened to Galeria on Paxtol, and Septimius on Yabound These Ano related to blood&8221; Marcus picked up the glass of wine, swirling it lightly in his hand

"Almost as if they are our natural predators&8221; He conteht for a moment,

"But how did these two survive?&8221; He had received previous reports unfolding over the past week, of the investigative tea terrible ends It had only been a preliation, and the teams were only to take action if they felt confident

Yet these vile creatures had destroyed theer long since planted

If he had known they were this powerful ahead of time… it was a moot point Who could have expected this?

"It was a very odd situation, sir… The Anoo&8221; Julia responded with a shrug

"It… let theo?&8221; He looked at his assistant and Spyroup of humans before, and didn’t take action unless provoked This is all according to the report Brutus has sent and sworn by&8221;

"It showed lass of wine again

"Julia&8221; He spoke aloud, abruptly,

"Yes,on hian to speak, a sense offrom him,

"Send out my co to I refuse to accept that we vampires, the dominant species, the protectors, have a natural predator Fate may twist in their favor, but even Fate cannot stop overwhel power A river must bend and flow, at the will of the land around it&8221;

A s, the needle holding his long white hair up falling out, setting his hair to flutter like a godly phoenix shaking its feathers His eyes pierced forith the resolve of a unstoppable lion, powerful and hed,

"Milord, this world is trapped in eternal evening and has no htly,

"Ah, then have the&8221;

"Milord… It’s always evening here… there can be no first thing in the evening…&8221;

"…&8221;

"…&8221;

Far away fro, four and a half reen scales Its long, spiked green tail shined brightly in the s stood attached to its body, long enough to glide with, but too short to achieve true flight The dragon had a pair ofclaws

This dragon was currently standing atop a se, widespread savanna The odd thing about this savanna was that if one looked off to the left or right, instead of directly forward in the direction Dorian was looking, very gradually, the world seemed to curve

The sky above this savanna was even odder At first glance, it appeared like a normal, everyday blue sky If one studied it, however, one could see odd distortions per the air Sometimes small ripples would appear, al torn apart and then almost i the ood to be alive

Sure, he had a lot of things weighing hi to celebrate

He sive it towith the genie in his Soul Spell Matrix

‘It is possible to coon bloodline However, the Myyr Dragon bloodline reaches its growth potential in the Grandmaster Class, whereas the Red Salamander maximizes at very peak of Sky Class Your own Red Salamander form was only able to reach Master Class due to your Master Class Soul’ Ausra continued,

‘Coon form will aly’

Dorian enie, and eventually nodded, his large draconic head bobbing up and down

What Ausra saidparticularly rare or powerful about his Red Salaenerative abilities for its level, but it was nothing coon form

He couldn’t fault the Salamander for that, however Without the first Red Salamander he found, he’d never have been able to create his current strongest forht Let me see my status once e: Grandy: 97

&8211;

‘And e’ He mentally added

Another screen popped up in his head

&8211;

-Myyr Dragon &8211; Growth Stage: (4/4) Elder Myyr Dragon-

Growth Progress – 6,232/0 &8211;

&8211;

‘Alright’ He conte a decision

‘My Red Salaon forh,

‘It’s time to choose a new form to Evolve to’

‘Ausra, pull up a list of all the bloodlines I have, minus any useless or worthless ones’

&8211;

&8211; Bloodlines Stored &8211;

Red Salaraded)

Brown Treasure Claon

Golem Wolf

True Va list of bloodlines, far too many for him to simply focus on all at once

‘Ausra, show only the Bloodlines that have the potential to naturally evolve to the Lord Class’ He ordered, his heart hopeful

‘You have no bloodlines with natural Lord Class potential stored’

Dorian sighed, and then shrugged, an odd ure It had been worth a shot

‘Fine, show only Grandmaster Class bloodlines’

The screen in his mind blurred for a moment and then reappeared

&8211;

&8211; Bloodlines Stored &8211;

Myyr Dragon

True Vampire

Titan

Virulent Wolf

&8211;

Dorian looked over the choices

‘Ausra, can you give eneral definition of each bloodline?’

Instead of responding, several screens appeared in Dorian’s on &8211;
