"Now that we have completed the contract you should fulfil your side of the bargain," Kai told Dracul.
"So, should you," he replied instantly.
"Fine while you tell me how you dealt with your berserk symptoms, I will extract the venom. You can start now."
Kai brandished his fangs and started to condense his vampire venom onto the tips of them while listening to Dracul's story.
"It happened in ancient times when I was still young and arrogant. I had thought that there was nobody that could ever rival me. You have to understand that in my youth I was much more powerful than I am in this state.
Anyway, when I was younger I believed my self to be unmatched and unrivalled throughout the world. This arrogance birthed inside of me a seed of darkness, that gradually polluted my thoughts by manipulating my desire for control.
Slowly I became violent and easy to anger, to the point where if somebody insulted me I would hunt down their family and make them watch the person who insulted me watch as their family was slaughtered.
(Sound familiar*wink, wink* *nudge, nudge* the typical Xianxia hero...)
I only realized this when it was too late and was locked up by my darkness deep inside the recesses of my mind. My mind was no longer my own but due to my ego and arrogance, I didn't realize that these thoughts were no longer my own.
This caused the darkness to slowly fester and grow more powerful until it was too late, I discovered that the power I was so proud off was no longer mine. My darkness had grown powerful enough to the point that it had developed a personality for itself and had taken control of my body to wreak havoc all over the world.
Eventually, my body was defeated due to the fact that the dark personality could only use half of my power and all of the world's powerhouses had gathered together to defeat me.
While the darkness fought with them, I managed to break free of the dark personality's seal and convinced them that I was doing everything against my will.
Thus when they finally managed to defeat the darkness, they removed me from my body and sealed it under many seals and bindings before I was given a new body, a human body.
But unfortunately, during the time the darkness was inside my body, it had managed to pollute my soul causing it to carry slivers of darkness into my body and cutting off my soul to the normal magic as well as causing me and the rest of the vampires to be sensitive to natural light. Thus, the first vampire was born.
I regret not stopping the darkness from taking over when it was still weaker, hopefully, you can stop the darkness in your soul from taking over otherwise to stop an incident like this from happening again I will have to kill you."
He finished his tale with a sorrowful sigh, while Kai had just finished putting his venom into a small vial. He handed it over to Dracul and went over the new information that he had been given to see if he could find any useful parts in Dracul's tale.
But before he could ponder in depth on the issue, Dracul stood up and told him that it was time to call the rest of the Emperors for a briefing of what was to come. Before he left, Kai asked him, "what rank am I?"
Dracul who was at the door turned around and said, "from what you have revealed I have sensed you are probably at the King level."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome."
He then left through the door leaving Kai to stay in his thoughts.
'Damn I forgot to ask him what rank he is. But from the way he spoke he is at the minimum an Emperor.
Kai returned to his room and before continuing to think about his [Berserk] issue, he called Tom.
After connecting with Tom using his telepathic link, he was about to tell him to gather the court's resources and men but before he could, Tom was the one who spoke first.
"Kai, what do you need? Is it the stupid undercover idea, I've never understood why you don't just force those weaklings to give you what you need instead of going through all the hassle. Regarding the court, I just made a deal with the northern sea serpents to exchange the reverse Animagus ritual in exchange for their help in times as well as various materials.
(Magical creatures are established as intelligent beings, the ones that Kai fought in the arena don't count as they lost themselves to their vampiric instincts and thus were reduced to mere beasts.)
So, the court is developing very well, Harry's also doing fine in school. Well, that is if you take away the fact that he likes to get into fights." Kai could hear from Tom's tone of voice that he was happy that Harry was beating the muggles.
He then said something heartwarming to Kai, "oh right before I forget he said that he misses you very much."
Kai didn't remember when Tom had become such a chatterbox, although he only showed this slightly warmer side to him. But it didn't matter at this moment, all that mattered was assembling the court's forces.
"Tom we can catch up later, I have an emergency right now. I need all the court's forces to round up and arrive outside of White Rose Academy. Including the magical creatures, this is a rank 10 emergency. We will be facing an apocalypse if we don't manage to stop the catastrophe that is coming."
Due to him wanting Tom to understand what was going he decided to stress how much of an emergency it was so that Tom would understand that he wasn't overreacting.
"But what is so urgent, don't worry I'm activating the rank 10 emergency signal and sending it out to all members while we're communicating. What is the emergency that is so important?" Tom asked in a slightly confused manner.
"Have you heard of Dahak- The True Dragon of Darkness?"
"Yes, I have chanced upon the name itself once when I was reading inside a forbidden history book. It is said that he tried to bring darkness and death everywhere in the world before he was killed. But there wasn't enough information thus I thought it was only a legend."
"Well, it turns out that he's real and furthermore isn't sealed anymore. He plans on killing me because he believes that the blood orb could give him the means to become undefeatable." Kai couldn't tell Tom about the Transcendent ranks yet because there wasn't enough time. "He also wants to destroy the world. I was told that he is going to attack in 2 days."
Tom was silent for a moment before saying, "I understand, the signal should have arrived on every member's watch. I'm heading out should I bring Harry or should I leave him here?"
"Don't take him he still isn't mature or powerful enough to fight against these beings, place him in the saferoom. I'll talk to him."
After finishing his talk with Tom, Kai switched off the telepathic link and looked at Bob who was lying on the bed. "Bob," Kai said with narrowed eyes. "Do you know what's going on?"
"Yeah"
"Ok…"
Kai figured that Bob had been sneaking around campus again and at some point, had merged with Kai's body as a tattoo. He was able to do that when Kai was too focused on an important subject, especially when it came to a solution to his [Berserk] condition.
'Now lets contact, Harry.'
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
