Chapter 553 Inside the Banquet
The banquet at Rose Manor ell underway by the tie
His hasty travel here hadn't allowed for any other arrangee fro that conspicuous adept's robe of his Instead, he had changed into a black frock coat with gold spectacles and a wig on his head When paired with his black eyes, he possessed a muted trace of nobility and pride to his had happened too quickly!
He had already warned Mary not to get too close to Leicester, and he had reminded her only to collect necessary information on the vampire from afar However, Mary didn't do as she was told
The existence of the bloodline linate at elite First Grade level for far too long Greereatly provoked the coh they were already officially intimate lovers, the competitiveness etched in Mary's bones hadn't faded away That hy she held an intense passion andLeicester
Sadly, just as Gree news reached their ears
Leicester had also advanced to Second Grade, beco a fearsome Vampire Count
That had far exceeded the liinal abduction plan had accounted for!
A Second Grade vaether a slave army formed from blood slaves and vampire spaithin less than a month if they coave their all, they would be able to transform the whole center of the continent into a paradise for vampires in only six h to atte like that while under the jurisdiction of the Zhentarim Association No adepts would intervene if they made descendants or blood slaves within their own territory, but they would be le adept if they ever extended their reach to someone else's property
The vaent creatures If they turned all the citizens of their lands into blood slaves and vampire spawn, they would end up in an aard situation with no food
It was these two reasons that caused all vampire families of the World of Adepts to lead a life of extreht rein on the number of blood slaves and vampire spaithin their territory The lives of their citizens were no different froions That hy no situations of itives had occurred due to fear of the vampire lords
However, the low profile of the vanify weakness!
If one ranked all adepts by their overall power, the vampire adepts would probably be sorade
They est in coest defense, but they were the ths that all vampire adepts shared
They were fast, could transforst theeneration speed when able to consume blood
Their weakness, on the other hand, was their universally acknowledged lack of offensive abilities
The attacks of vampires were often hen corade They could only rely on their regeneration to sloear away at the enemy's defensive spells
It was precisely because she kne difficult a Second Grade vampire would be to deal with that Mary had been driven by her boiling vampire instincts to sneak closer to Leicester And as expected, herfive days of pursuit, Mary could no longer use any of her abilities due to the effects of her bloodline instincts Leicester had caught her He couldn't help but be stunned upon checking the bloodline in Mary's body
In all honesty, the origin bloodline of this ly well If one were to be entirely frank, the degree of developin bloodline had already exceeded Leicester's own origin bloodline before he advanced
Which is to say, this captured offshoot fe to Second Grade
The reason she hadn't advanced yet was mostly due to the bloodline limit Now that Leicester had advanced to Second Grade, the bloodline limit had shifted upwards This mysterious female vampire would only need to take a little to adjust herself, and she could consider advance prospect However, as a vampire family, they had plenty of means to control such bloodline offshoots of impure descent
It was because he didn't wish to squander such an excellent potential subordinate like Mary that Leicester didn't kill her on the spot At any rate, nothing would go wrong with bringing her to Rose Manor Once he was done with the affairs here, he could bring Mary back to Bloodcastle and deal with her at his leisure
The urgency of the situation left Greem no time to plan He had hurried to Rose Manor i news of the banquet
Greeht the attention of the servants waiting at the gates
