Chapter 311: Chapter 231: Moon Shadow Hunter and Silver Moon Knight Unleash Their Divine Power; Blood Moon Ceremony, Vampire Count Enraged
A chill crept into his heart!
He knew that the moment he lost power, these so-called colleagues would be like jackals that had scented meat, tearing him to shreds and devouring him without a moment’s hesitation!
Vampire Viscount Hercules looked up at the Count seated on the throne.
He knew this was his last lifeline!
"My Lord Count, I beg you, please give me one last chance!"
A burning desire to survive blazed in Hercules’s eyes,
but he knew the price he had offered was not enough. The other Vampires would never pass up such a perfect opportunity to kick him while he was down.
And so, a glint of madness ignited in Vampire Viscount Hercules’s eyes!
"In three days, it will be the plane’s Blood Moon!"
"I request permission to perform the Blood Moon Ceremony!"
"I will personally lead the Bloodline members who undergo the Blood Moon Ceremony, and once its power takes effect, I will launch the conquest of that plane!"
"If I fail again, I am willing to renounce all I have and voluntarily step into the Blood Pool to become one with it."
The entire Vampire Castle fell silent!
The Blood Moon was an Artificial Wonder created by the Vampire Ancestor Cain after he conquered the entire plane and reshaped it into the Dark Plane!
While the Blood Moon Ceremony could indeed enhance the strength of the Bloodline,
the cost was also immense.
Not even one in ten of the Bloodline who underwent the Blood Moon Ceremony would survive.
Furthermore, this temporary boost in power came at the cost of overdrafting their Life Force!
Unless forced into a corner with no way out, no Vampire would dare to perform the Blood Moon Ceremony.
The other Vampires, who had been so quick to point fingers and kick him while he was down, now seemed stunned by Vampire Viscount Hercules’s resolve.
They were struck dumb.
After all, who would dare provoke a madman who had given up everything!
Meanwhile, seated upon the throne, Count Yin Hai the Vampire finally turned to face the Vampire Viscount directly.
"Perform the Blood Moon Ceremony, step into the Blood Pool...
The former will grant you a short-term boost in power, but your power will plummet once the ritual ends.
The latter will cause your entire body to dissolve into the Blood Pool after you step in,
becoming sustenance for other Vampires to advance. Do you have any idea what that feels like?!"
Hearing the counter-question from Count Yin Hai the Vampire,
Vampire Viscount Hercules trembled all over, but he gritted his teeth and answered,
"I do!"
A reckless madness filled Vampire Viscount Hercules’s eyes.
"I am willing to make a blood pact and ask for Vampire Ancestor Cain’s witness!"
"To prove the resolve behind my words!"
As he spoke, Vampire Viscount Hercules ripped away the beast hide wrapped around the wound on his chest and forced out a drop of crimson Origin Essence Blood.
This was the most solemn oath a Vampire could make. To break it was to invite a backlash from the very source of their bloodline—a punishment that meant certain death!
A fresh stir went through the hall.
Vampire Viscount Hercules... he had completely cut off his own path to survival!
Count Yin Hai the Vampire stared at the drop of dark red Essence Blood floating before his eyes.
After a long moment, Count Yin Hai the Vampire slowly raised his hand.
An invisible force pulled Vampire Viscount Hercules up from the floor and drew the drop of oath blood before the Count.
"Very well!"
"On the third day, I will personally preside over the Blood Moon Ceremony for you!"
"Three days from now will be the day you wash away your shame!"
"At that time, I will personally oversee the battle and bear witness!"
Vampire Viscount Hercules kowtowed heavily.
"Thank you for your grace, my Lord Count!"
In three days, it would be his death or the Elf Clan’s.
