Chapter 323 - Preparing to enter enemy territory

The rest of the day in the territory of the Pureblood Vampyres in the Underworld was spent with the young Prince Cassius who introduced the culture of Vampyres and the delicacies that they enjoyed.

At a certain point, they returned to the wide dining hall where numerous sparklings foods were laid out, this time the chalices and adorned cups holding viscous red liquids being returned as Cassius offered Noah a drink.

"This will be your first taste of something that you would only understand the wonders of as a Vampyre, go on."

The Prince was observing closely as he thought he was undertaking the job of feeding an important new addition to the clan for the first time, not knowing a gorgeous silver-haired beauty had already offered up blood of even greater quality not too long ago.

Noah sipped the blood rolling in the chalice as he compared the taste, observing the much lower quality as he unconsciously wanted the first one he had again.

"Hmm good! Let’s continue."

Prince Cassius continued to act as a good host as the day went on, numerous things occurring behind the scenes as the Vampyre King Adrian made preparations while a being at the peak of Soul Rank was hidden in the shadows closely looking over her Progenitor that only she knew the identity of at this instant.

When Noah had finished feeding for the first time, Elena had collected herself as she lookedd to the shimmering red eyes that told her at the current time, it was to remain a secret that the blood of the Progenitor had awakened once more.

If a being such as this had faced destruction in the past, Noah wanted to continue playing in the shadows without knowledge of it spreading out too widely. Elena could only give a nod of affirmation as she collected herself and then passed the commands to the entering Vampyre King and Prince Cassius thereafter.

Time passed like this as Noah spent a few days in the Underworld, familiarizing himself with the many abilities that came with the Vampyre Progenitor as he learned more about the workings of the Celestials and the Alliance during the day, and conducted some more tests when night time came.

The first night, he received a telepathic message from the Royal Vampyre Elena that went along the lines of- ’Can this undeserving servant be of any use to the Progenitor?’

Noah did not pass up the opportunity to become more familiar with the body of the Blood Progenitor, surprising the Royal Vampyre who had expected other things to occur when he began asking her to conduct secret field battle tests which allowed Noah to come to some spectacular conclusions after the numerous tests throughout the next few days.

The first conclusions were regarding the boosts of Unnatural Strength, Speed, and Healing that came innately with the bloodline itself. Noah surprisingly found his strength and speed almost entering the realm of the Soul Rank while his body still held Void Rank attributes, the boosts from the bloodline as well as the passive trees from the Lesser Cthulhu and other abilities continuing to boost his power in ridiculous ways.

The other conclusions were regarding his healing, where he commanded Elena to let out a strong enough attack that was able to pierce his body that now held a [Natural Blood Armor] that provided enormous defenses, observing emotionlessly as his right hand fell to the floor, and then numerous lines of blood shot out from his shoulder as they reconnected the lost limb without a scratch in a matter of seconds!

There were too many wonders that came with his new body as he had only gotten more monstrous.

He gradually wrapped up his preparations on the third day as he made it known that he would soon be moving out, going through another round of discussions with the Vampyre King and a few knowledgeable Elders about the 7th Celestial Star he would soon enter, and go through even more thorough discussions with the completely subservient Elena at other times regarding the secretive information that very few could obtain in the Dark or Light Expanse.

He gradually expanded his horizons until the time came to leave with his tremendous gains on this trip to the Underworld, finding himself in the wide Council Hall once more as Elena gave numerous commands to the surrounding Vampyres.

"Be more active with the spy networks and collect even the most unimportant information that deals with the Celestials. We need to know any possible moves they might be making in these next few weeks as our new brethren risks their life to enter one of their homes."

Confirmations rang throughout as the Vampyre King stood to the side shaking his head as his authority was ever so slightly pulled away by his sister. Elena turned to Prince Cassius as she spoke once more.

"Little Nephew, you will be heading back to the Dark Expanse to lie low after killing those Celestial Disciples. You need to upgrade your strength and purify your blood even further, and there are also too many awaiting your return back home."

Prince Cassius nodded with a devilishly cold expression as he only cared about increasing his strength, and watching as Noah was about to jump into the jaws of enemy territory only made him seek faster growth of his own power.

"Be careful not to be swept in by the Celestial’s doctrines, we don’t want you changing sides just a few months in."

The young prince let out some ominous words towards Noah as he left to prepare.

Noah only smiled at these words as he spoke out to the Vampyre King and Elena.

"I’ll be taking my role as Crixus and begin to head towards the 7th Celestial Star. I’ll be sure to make contact if anything drastic occurs."

The two Royal Vampyres nodded with heavy expressions as they watched Noah disappear into particles of light, knowing that the Alliance had given him a dangerous mission that would result in the release of a powerful being held prisoner on the 7th Celestial Star!

The Vampyre King only wished success for the new brethren that had joined their ranks, while the Royal Vampyre Elena held a fervent light in her eyes as she watched the being only she knew as the Progenitor take on the most dangerous task. She turned to her little brother as she sent a telepathic message, knowing they would also be getting busy for the days to come.

Many thoughts and ideals were spreading across multiple beings as Noah’s intrusion in the Underworld came to an end, leaving while taking with him enormous rewards that very few even knew about!
