The First Magic World War

Lord Leo fled for the first time intending to retrieve his two servants, as these servants were strong and had served him for many years, playing significant roles in his life. However, during his second escape, he gave no thought to them, realizing that no servant, no matter how important, was worth risking his life for.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After Lord Leo left, the two servants, relying on their exceptional strength, managed to survive in the Labyrinth despite the difficulty. But the scarcity of food within the Labyrinth meant that they often went days without anything to eat, gradually weakening.

Charles appeared nearby and observed them for a while, confident that these two servants were not vampires.

Vampires are quite proud and exclusive, with the older ones being even more so. Even if the Byron Empire did not harshly suppress the proliferation of descendants and even implemented a "First Embrace Certificate" to constrain it, many of the older vampires were reluctant to sire offspring, preferring to leave that to the younger bloodkin.

The two Blood Servants of Lord Leo were merely "servants" controlled by vampires, possessing certain vampiric characteristics but falling far short of true Blood Clan members, as they had not undergone the "First Embrace."

For instance, they couldn't replenish their body's consumption of Blood Energy by drawing life essence.

Lord Leo, trapped in the Machu Picchu Labyrinth, was still lively and at the height of his strength thanks to his vampiric talents, but the strength of his two Blood Servants had already plummeted to sixty or seventy percent of their peak.

With a wave of his hand, Charles unknowingly separated Lord Leo's two servants, who, by the time they realized what happened, had already lost sight of each other.

Charles drew his Vampiric Hand Axe and hurled it with Blood Flame Qi.

Each Vampire Clan is born with a different physical structure; most can only condense a single Bloody Vortex with their rank determined by the strength of their Blood Energy. Once vampires reach a certain level of cultivation, they gather Blood Energy and condense a Blood Core to ascend to higher ranks.

Charles, now a Fifth Order Transcendent, possessed a Blood Flame Qi that was more subtle and robust than before. Coupled with the amplification from the other four Bloody Vortexes of his Bloody Glory, the Vampiric Hand Axe pierced the air, emitting a whistling moan. It cleaved directly into the back of a Blood Servant, who toppled to the ground without any chance to react.

After the successful ambush, Charles patiently waited for the Vampiric Hand Axe to devour all the essence blood from the servant before smoothly recalling the bloodsucking weapon. When he attempted to assimilate the life force, the Bloody Glory within his body suddenly boiled, and an unexpected change occurred.

The life force of Lord Leo's Blood Servant was like "poison," rampaging within him, scorching everything in its path like flame, as harsh as profound ice, destroying all bodily functions.

Surprised and frightened, Charles activated the Bloody Glory, hoping to expel this life force, but to no avail. Desperate, he struggled to recall whether the Protagora Secret Scrolls mentioned any solution to this predicament.

Having faced the Evil God twice, the second time gazing directly at two, the benefits included improved spirituality and enhanced memory. The Protagora Secret Scrolls he had read during his college years were vivid in his mind, but none mentioned this situation.

In his panic, Charles remembered the two Vampire Secret Scrolls he possessed. He quickly took out the Adonis Clan's "Vampire Secret Scrolls" and the scroll gifted by Lord Leo from the Arthur Clan. While forcibly battling the strange and venomous life force rampaging inside him, he rapidly read through them.

The Adonis Clan's "Vampire Secret Scrolls" recorded only secret techniques, with no additional text. Charles found nothing after flipping through them. Holding onto his last hope, when he turned to the Arthur scroll, his eyes brightened as he encountered a secret technique describing the exact situation he was experiencing.

Before the vampire's thirty-seven clans had established their nation, they had slaughtered Transcendents without restraint, using their bloodsucking traits to elevate their ranks. This incited the wrath of the great empires, triggering a continent-wide backlash that led to merciless slaughter by Transcendents of the Human Race, led by Protagora. Six Vampire Clans were exterminated, wiped out by humanity.

After founding the empire, the Blood Clan promised the Human Empires they would not hunt Transcendents indiscriminately. The great empires also vowed not to hunt Transcendents within the Human Race for cultivation of their Bloody Glory without just cause, achieving a delicate balance.

From that point on, it was no longer a state of war, and very few humans chose to practice Bloody Glory.

But the vampires still worried that someone like Protagora might appear again among the humans. Therefore, the committee in charge of compiling the Vampire Secret Scrolls gathered the wisdom of the most talented individuals from the thirty-one vampire clans and, after exhausting all their thoughts and efforts, created a Secret Technique named Prime Blood Boiling as a countermeasure against Bloody Glory.

The essence of this Secret Technique was not complex; it employed the powers of the nine ancient progenitors who ascended to the Evil God in the ancient times, ensuring a special "imprint" was found within the Blood Energy cultivated by each clan.

Every Blood Clan member who mastered Prime Blood Boiling would have Blood Energy far purer than their peers; it could not be consumed by vampires from any other clan, nor could it be consumed by humans practicing Bloody Glory, resulting in their power increasing by leaps and bounds daily.

This was an auxiliary Secret Technique, yet it was more precious than any offensive Secret Technique.

Because it required harnessing the sinister powers of the nine ancient progenitors, only members of the Three Emperor Clans and Six King Clans could practice it. It also could not prevent cannibalism within the same clan, and just like Lord Leo of the Arthur Clan, his Blood Servants also bore this imprint from the Evil God in their bodies.

"Damn it!"

"What should we do now?"

"Only the Bloodline Mantra unique to the Arthur Clan can counteract the backlash of Arthur Clan's Prime Blood Boiling..."

In an instant, Charles understood he had no choice but to channel this toxic vitality into his throat and, using the secret technique of Bloody Glory, he opened the sixth Bloody Vortex.

The Bloody Vortex in his throat opened, and this strange force grew even stronger.

Charles silenced the other five Bloody Vortices and, following the Arthur Clan's secret technique, he forcibly condensed the Bloody Runes of the Bloodline Mantra.

Protagora, the great philosopher, had never obtained the secret techniques from the Arthur Clan. The Vampire Secret Techniques he had obtained were mainly from the Asiluo Clan, followed by those from the Adonis Clan and the Bellos Family, also one of the Six King Clans. The other ten secret techniques all came from Grand Duke Vampire Clans, even from Marquis-level clans. Continue reading at empire

At that moment, Charles had no ancient techniques of his predecessors to follow and had to create his own secret technique based on Bloody Glory and the Arthur Clan's secret scrolls.

Initially, Charles found the runes of the Bloodline Mantra complex and profound, utterly perplexing. After dozens of failed attempts, he could not help but vomit a mouthful of black blood. When the pool of black blood hit the ground, it sizzled with corrosive force.

Just then, a leisurely voice came from the endless void: "Young one! The secret methods of the Arthur Clan are not to be messed with so recklessly."

Charles was shocked, and immediately, a will invaded his mind, which did nothing but pluck at a mental string as if by intention or by accident.

Charles had a flash of insight and exclaimed, "I know! I know now..."

The runes of the Bloodline Mantra, previously incomprehensible, suddenly unraveled in his mind like mathematical symbols, with clear logic...
