The Accidental Vampire

"If my family was involved because of you, it's only fair that your family is also involved, isn't it?" The Prince asked Atlas, who was getting quite impatient.

It was one thing to be trapped himself, but if Misella was also caught, then this was even worse as, unlike him, who had a limited life left, she was supposed to have a longer life. If she was caught like that, then she was in danger.

If his Teleportation wasn't going to work, Altas decided to use other spells. He wasn't bound by the Spatial Spells to be able to break this lightning prison.

Unfortunately, as if he was able to read Atlas' mind, the Prince smirked. "You can try breaking my Lightning prison, but you won't be able to save your sister like that."

"Your sister isn't inside this ship. I've sent her and my sister to a different ship which is in an unknown corner of the world. I mean, don't tell me you honestly thought I'd keep them here even after knowing that you're all going to attack this place? I couldn't take the chance."

"I will kill you!"

Atlas was definitely thinking that the two ladies were going to be on this ship, but if they weren't, then it was indeed hard. However, that didn't mean the plan had changed.

No matter where Misella was, if he could capture the Prince, everything was still going to be in his control since he just had to add one more condition to the negotiations: that they had to release his sister.

His finger behind him had already finished creating a small formation Circle. A small sphere of dark matter energy appeared above his hand, containing huge amounts of condensed energies.

If he needed to break this prison, he knew that he needed large amounts of condensed energies, and what better for this than a simple attack that could shatter this lightning prison?

He wanted to destroy the prison and swiftly capture the young prince. He did the same as well. He attacked with the energy sphere after he was in reach, tossing it straight to the core of the prison where the lightning was coming from.

As soon as the energy sphere hit its target, the lightning prison stopped working for a brief moment before returning to working like it was supposed to. However, in a brief moment, Atlas managed to get out of the lightning prison, flying straight to the Prince.

The Prince's face went pale as he saw Atlas coming toward him.

"Capture him!" he commanded his guards as he started stepping back, which was quite surprising with how strong Luna made him out to be. If he was really that strong, then why was he stepping back like that instead of running ahead to fight him like a brave warrior?

Even though Atlas wanted to have an answer, he got distracted by fighting all the enemies. He still had some of his Shroud Time life. He cast his shroud, turning invisible before calling out his Blood Sword.

With Atlas turning invisible, no one was supposed to see him; however, they could all feel the immense power of his sword. Moreover, the invisibility also wasn't having much of an effect as a mysterious power of the ship was acting up on him.

As soon as Atlas turned invisible, the entire hallway lit up in a beautiful red light. Under the red light, even Atlas' invisibility was ineffective.

Seeing the men attacking exactly where he was standing, Atlas realized that his invisibility wasn't working.

Slash~

He focused more on his attack as he swung his sword while avoiding an attack that came straight for his head.

The guards were fast, but so was Atlas, especially now that he had managed to draw out more strength of Castiel. His attack did land on the chest of the closest guard, slicing through the Armor and leaving a deep wound on the young Guard's chest.

In the back, the Prince stood far away from all the battle, seemingly befuddled to see how swiftly Atlas was able to take his men out. Despite his reaction, he wasn't running away.

The Guards of his kept dying one after another, not able to hold on before Atlas.

This was even more strange for Atlas than everything before. Out of all the Stories he heard about all the powerful warriors of the Empire, was this all? Was this the extent of their strength? Their Prince was scared, and the generals didn't hold up to their reputation. Something didn't feel right. However, he didn't have the time to focus on that at the moment.

He managed to kill all the generals that were accompanying the young Prince at not much cost to himself. There were only a few wounds on his own body, but that wasn't much before his healing.

Now there was only one person left... The young Prince. Atlas dashed ahead as the Prince also started running away.

He appeared before the Prince, placing his sword right on the throat of the young Prince. Just a little push and the Prince was going to die.

Even though Atlas had his sword on the neck of the Prince, he still felt that something was wrong there. He just didn't know what it was, but it all seemed a bit too easy... A bit too much. He wondered if he was just overthinking.

"One more step, and you'll die," Atlas warned the Prince. "Tell me where Misella and Luna are. Tell your men to bring them here!"

"Huh, you think I'll give you the only hostages I have? I know they are your weaknesses. You'll never kill me until I have them. Moreover, if you kill me, you're never getting them back."

"I've already commanded my men that if something happens to me, they are to take your sister to our world and bury her a thousand feet under the ground where she'll spend the rest of her life trapped."

Even though the Prince seemed to be caught, he still managed to issue a threat to Atlas. "Release me this instant!"
