The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 182 182: Beginning



Unfortunately for Castiel, even he hadn\'t expected what was going to happen next.

As he restricted the movement of the three warriors, forcing them to their knees, Luna found a way to free her hands from the shackles used by the three warriors.

Since Luna was already cuffed, Castiel didn\'t use the vines on her, which was probably what escalated things so much.

As soon as Luna freed her hands, she closed her eyes, keeping her hands behind her back. Another sword appeared in her hands.

Lilith noticed a new sword appearing in her hand, but by the time she could do anything, Luna swung the sword. Her Sword sliced the heads of the three Warriors who had just finished threatening Castiel.

Seeing three heads roll to the ground, even Castiel was taken aback. The woman had some good determination to take out her enemies. Even under this situation, she kept her focus on them.

"Feeling better?" Castiel asked Luna.

Instead of attacking Castiel, Luna sat on the ground, seemingly tired. Her sword disappeared as well.

"Feeling better? If having to run away from your home and being chased is the definition of feeling good, then I\'m feeling extremely better," Luna sarcastically answered. Her face was slightly pale, and she seemed tired, but she was still capable of fighting.

Despite that, she dropped her weapons, seeing the number of enemies there. The primary reason behind her decision was because she couldn\'t feel any killing intent from these people. It was as if they didn\'t mean her any harm. She could only sense curiosity.

Moreover, they had indirectly helped her, so she didn\'t feel like fighting them. Instead, she needed a shelter here, and these were the first few people she found.

"I\'m also curious about you all. The Vines... How did you make them appear?" she asked.

Castiel stepped closer to Luna, but even now, she didn\'t feel any ill in his heart. It was something she could sense in any being. This feeling was what made her trust Castiel.

Castiel stopped right before Luna and extended a hand to help her get up. "How about this? You answer my questions, and I\'ll answer yours?"

Luna nodded and held Castiel\'s hand, standing up.

"That was our first meeting with Luna," Lilith continued her explanation. "Who knew that this one curiosity could lead to so much."

Luna lowered her head. Even she felt sad that her actions led to all this.

"Luna was the Princess of the Solace Empire who ran away from her home because she didn\'t want to marry according to her father\'s wishes. It was a family conflict in which we never should\'ve entangled ourselves."

"As the consequence of their people being killed on earth, the Solace Empire sent them... And thus began the downfall. Since Castiel was the one giving shelter to Luna, their main target became Castiel."

"Castiel had already traveled all the continents on earth, and he had never seen someone who could give them a challenge. Unfortunately, the Solace Empire wasn\'t on earth. Their people were different... Especially those people..."

"They targeted everyone who had even an inkling of Castiel. Castiel also fought back, killing a few of them, but that just increased the conflict even more. Before long, the entire earth was being overrun by them. Since the other Progenitors shared some similarities to Castiel, they were also targeted by them."

"In the end, there came a final threat... If Castiel didn\'t return Luna, they were going to destroy everything on earth, not leaving any life on this world."

"Castiel gave Luna away?" Atlas frowned. This didn\'t make sense. He had always imagined Castiel to be a valiant warrior. She gave up Luna because of a threat? Did he really get scared?

"He didn\'t give me to the Empire..." Luna answered instead. "I ran back to them myself, since you weren\'t willing to accept defeat. I went back to the Solace Empire and apologized to them, asking them to leave everyone here alive."

"My father agreed to listen to me, but not entirely. He had one demand... Only if the Progenitors that killed so many of our soldiers died, he was going to let earth live!" she further added.

"There were only three Progenitors who killed the Solace Empire Generals... Castiel, Ramiun, and Lucius," Lilith took over the story again. "Looking at the bigger picture, all three Progenitors decided to go to Eternal Slumber. Since they couldn\'t die, they chose this method to fool the Solace Empire. I still remember how hard it was to convince Castiel to agree with this!"

"After Castiel went under Eternal Slumber, the other Progenitors also went after some time, agreeing."

"In Eternal Slumber, they have no life aura. They can\'t be sensed, and that\'s what fooled the Solace Empire into letting earth live. Only Atlan was left to roam freely."

Lilith sighed, remembering the past. "When I was convincing Castiel, I imagined that after we wake up in a thousand years or so, the Solace Empire would\'ve forgotten about us entirely, and we could go back to how things used to be before."

"Who knew that the Solace Empire still hadn\'t forgotten about us. Just the slightest aura of Castiel, and they sensed it."

"How could they forget about the Progenitors?" Luna commented. " The Solace Empire fought many wars, but never have they suffered as much as they did when facing the Progenitors. I doubt they can ever forget this."

"The Solace Empire still can\'t forget that war, especially my brother, who thinks we did a mistake by not destroying the earth as a lesson for standing up against them. Unlike my father, my brother is much more ruthless. And he had grown hating everything about that war!"

"That\'s why I believe that it\'s just the start of things that are about to get really bad. As soon as I found out about your return, I rushed here to warn you about it. My brother won\'t take too long either." Luna warned everyone in the room about how the future was grim.

"A war that even the Progenitors together couldn\'t win is about to happen again, and told time I\'m in the mix. Just amazing," Atlas let out, feeling slightly upset.

He had only a little time to get his own things done, and now, he even had the Sword of a war looming over his head. Just as he thought that he could have a slightly easier time in bringing his sister back, something even worse came.

He stood up, asking, "How long before your Empire comes again?"
