Nameless King

"What's going on!" Vlad exclaimed.

"We are being attacked! It's the angels!"

Tremble.

The city shook again, and every vampire in the poor and luxurious neighborhoods felt it.

"Angels? What the hell do they want?" Vlad frowned.

Attacking a town of vampires was suicide, but if they were angels, then the situation changed dramatically. Vampires could hardly drink their blood, and angels mostly used trappings like fire or light.

"I don't know, but they're serious. They've already broken into the city and are trying to break through the protective barrier." Ellen said anxiously.

"Ah, I see. Hell, they showed up at such an inconvenient moment. Angels ruin everything as usual." Vlad grudgingly muttered.

Crackling.

The doors to the hall opened, and a tall guy with short blond hair and red eyes stepped inside. He wore a long torn cloak and was seriously wounded, his face drenched in blood.

"Lucian!" Vlad and Ellen exclaimed simultaneously. It was the second son of the Tran family and Vlad's younger brother.

"Hi..." Lucian smiled with difficulty, and the ring on his finger shone brightly. A yellow amulet in the shape of a cross in a sphere appeared in his hand, "Give this to mother."

Lucian fell to the ground and breathed slowly. His condition was critical, and he needed blood urgently.

Wain's blood was only enough for three vials, each of which was more valuable than gold, but Vlad didn't hesitate to take one of them and pour it into Lucian's mouth.

He didn't care how rare the blood was. His goal was to save his brother, and nothing else mattered.

Lucian took a few sips, and his pupils narrowed.

"What is this? It tastes so good..." Lucian was in shock. He forgot about the pain and could only think about the blood he drank. His instincts heightened, and he turned toward Wain's.

"Is that his blood?"

"Yes, it's good, isn't it?" Vlad said smiling.

"It's incredible, he..."

"Let's talk about it later. What happened? Did the angels attack us because of you?"

Lucian nodded, "I decided that since the merging of worlds happened, it was the best moment to break into their base and steal the amulet stealthily."

"I see. You did well, that's amazing."

"It's not worth the credit. They're just like everyone else, trying to figure out what's going on and get used to a new world. The angels weren't expecting someone to decide to sneak into their vault."

"How strong are they?"

"I'm not sure, but the strongest of them must be on the edge of Second Chronicle. One of them gave me a pretty good thrashing, haha." Lucian smiled painfully.

"You were right to decide to steal an amulet from a base at that level. We'd be in serious trouble if Third Chronicle angels attacked us, but why would you take such a risk?"

"What?" Lucian was shocked. He looked at Ellen and asked, "You haven't told him yet?"

The girl shook her head, "I'm sorry, I didn't have time. He just returned from the rental today, and I didn't have a good opportunity."

Vlad looked at them intently.

"Okay, nothing critical. Mother had been sick for several weeks. She'd been fighting some unusual angel and was seriously injured. My father protected my mother, but she was getting worse by the day as if she had been poisoned. We quickly figured out the problem and found out how to cure it, so I immediately went to get the amulet. As I said, it was a good time."

Vlad frowned. Unlike his father, he had a normal relationship with his mother. If something terrible were to happen to her, it would be the greatest tragedy for him.

"Is it fatal?"

"Fortunately not." Lucian shook his head, "Perhaps this poison could have killed her, but only if she hadn't been drinking blood for a long time. We would never have let that happen."

"Okay, I get it. Can you heal her with this amulet?"

"Yes, it's not difficult. This amulet was made for it. That's why it was so rare to get. It's a pretty rare thing."

"Hmm, but why were they so angry? I understand that you stole the amulet from them, but is it worth following you into town and even attacking us? I'm sure the amulet isn't worth starting a war between angels and vampires, especially in the current situation."

"Well.... It's not that simple. I didn't hurt myself. I was discovered by some angels when I was trying to steal the amulet, and I had to deal with them. Apparently, some of them were very important to the leaders of their city, and that's why they decided to attack us."

Angels, like Vampires, valued kinship since they had a low birth rate and lived longer than most other races.

"Ah, okay, I get it. Anyway, they haven't broken through the barrier yet, and we have time to prepare. Can we cure the mother now?"

"Yes, of course. I wanted to do it, but I'm not at my best right now, so it would be best if you did it."

"What do I have to do?"

"Nothing complicated. Dip the amulet in your blood and then apply it to your mother's body. The amulet will absorb the corrosive light, and the mother will recover."

Vlad nodded, "I thought that the old man would do anything to save her if something happened to mother. What a disappointment."

"Don't be so categorical. Father wanted to go after the amulet, but the elders wouldn't let him. Although, he was going to ignore their requests and leave anyway. I found out about it and decided to steal the amulet myself."

Vlad's father was a powerful vampire, and since no one knew what would happen after the merging of the worlds, the elders could not allow him to leave at such a moment. They believed that they could be attacked by someone and then every elder was important, one of which was Vlad's father himself.

Vlad frowned but didn't answer anything. He helped Lucian up and headed for his mother's room. Ellen, Lucian, and Wain followed him.
