The Accidental Vampire

Chapter 245 245: Lone



Fortunately, the witches did not know who actually destroyed all those places. Instead, they didn't even know that all those places had been destroyed recently. The news did spread fast but not that fast.

Even the blood Council wouldn't have known that the kingdom of wolves had been destroyed by Vor if it wasn't for Ramiun, who had been there when It all happened.

As the witches did not know how it happened, they did believe that Lilith was telling the truth since Atlas and his group were certainly not enough to be able to destroy the Kingdom of Wolves and all those places that easily. The only ones were truly capable of doing something like this for the empire and its forces.

Now that everyone was on the same page, the plan was in motion. Lilith and Atlas walked back to their carriage, and so did the others. Even the Witches had arrived in Carriages, which they kept in the distance since they didn't want them to be destroyed in case there was a battle here.

All the witches walked back to their Carriage. All Carriages moved together, following the main carriage in which Atlas was sitting.

Surprisingly, or not surprisingly, Atlas was sitting alone in his Carriage this time as Lilith, Vor, and the others had moved back to the next carriage with the Progenitors since they were supposed to separate from Atlas.

Atlas was supposed to get to his destination first, followed by the others around thirty minutes later. That's also why Atlas' carriage separated from the others, taking a shortcut to the forest where the fleet was resting. The other carriages took the normal route.

In fact, the Witches didn't even know that Atlas had separated from the group and went on his own. They still expected him to be coming with them. Then again, it was intentional that they weren't told that Atlas would be going alone.

That part of the plan was supposed to be something that only the core of them was supposed to know.

Atlas moved through the treacherous routes, traveling faster. Even though the route was a shortcut, there was a reason most people didn't take this route, as it didn't have proper roads. However, roads were the last thing that Atlas was going to complain about.

The carriage, which was filled until recently, was all empty now as Atlas sat alone with his own thoughts. If he succeeded in capturing the Prince, he could still have some time left in his body, but if he had to use his strength, it was unclear just how long he should have as each time he used his strength, it reduced the time he had.

Atlas glanced out the window, slightly nervous as well. This was going to be the last adventure of his life in any case. Whatever happened, this was going to define his legacy in this world. He wanted to feel Proud even in his death.

He always lacked strength, but only due to circumstances. But now that he had an opportunity, he wanted to achieve something.

He believed that he started his life being weak, and that wasn't his fault. However, if he died being weak, then that was going to be his own fault and no one else's.

"Castiel, I don't know if you can listen to me or not. However, if I succeed and help you this time, I hope that will be enough to repay the favor. You came to my rescue when my back was against the wall. This time, I'll pay it back in full. So I really hope you will take care of my family and my friends like your own."

As he expected before, he didn't receive any answer. He didn't need answers either. He just expressed his thoughts, and he believed that they were getting to Castiel. As for what happened next, that was to be seen.

The carriage moved through the darkness of the night, only to stop as it reached closer to the forest.

As per his instructions, the driver was supposed to stop a few kilometers away from the first since that was the safest option. Atlas didn't know how many people could be guarding the vicinity, but it was safest for him to travel alone on his foot from this point.

That way, even if there were people patrolling the vicinity, he could still protect himself by avoiding them.

After getting out of the carriage, he told the carriage driver to turn the carriage around and leave the place.

The carriage driver did as he was told and left with the carriage, leaving Atlas all alone in the forest.

After the carriage disappeared from his sight, Atlas started running toward the forest, keeping his eyes on the surroundings, so he wasn't accidentally caught by any guards.

Along the way, he had expected to see a lot of guards since he was getting closer to the main fleet. However, for some strange reason, there were no guards that he could find, which actually managed to surprise him. Were the enemy really so ignorant that they didn't even have any guards around the forest?

Atlas' aura was way weaker than the aura of Castiel, which was easier to hide as well. That's also how he managed to hide even the smallest trace of his aura before he finally entered the forest.

He was finally at the place where the enemy was supposed to be staying, but he still hadn't seen anyone. He could still make sense of not seeing any guard outside the forest, not seeing anyone even inside. That didn't make sense at all.

He wondered if they were even here anymore! Did they leave the forest before he came here?

There were many questions in his head. Fortunately, most of the questions were put to rest as he actually managed to see a ship in the distance.

Right around the center of the forests, there was a massive ship. All the trees around it had been destroyed to make room for the ship to land. Around the ship, he could also see some guards. Finally, he received his first glimpse of the enemies of the Empire.
