Nameless King

Chapter 323 Healing

Vampires were rather lazy creatures and spent most of their time sleeping in coffins. Vlad's mother was no exception. When vampires were ill and sick, the best thing that helped them was the silence, the coolness, and the lack of light.

Crackle.

Vlad opened the lid of the coffin, and a tall woman with long, curly purple hair appeared behind it. She was sleeping and breathing slowly, but her face was unusually pale, even for vampires.

She opened her eyes and muttered, "Vlad, you're home..."

"Yes, and now I'm going to cure you." Vlad uttered and cut his palm. He dipped the amulet in the blood and applied it to Marine.

The amulet glowed brightly, and Marine's eyes shone brightly. A poisonous light slowly emerged from her and soaked into the amulet.

"Great, it worked." Lucian breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been a serious problem if their scheme hadn't worked. Now Lucian was sure that he had done everything right. He didn't regret that his actions caused the vampire city to be attacked by angels. All he cared about was saving his mother.

"Mother...!" Ellen exclaimed and hugged her tightly. The brothers were not as sentimental as their sister, but they smiled quite a bit, too. For almost everyone, the mother was the most important person in life. Marine's joyful face was the best reward for Vlad and Lucian.

"It's okay." Marine muttered and looked at Wain, "Vlad, Lucian, who is this mysterious young man?"

"My new friend, he's a human."

Unlike Ellen and Lucian, Marine didn't have such a vivid reaction. She nodded, "I see, as I thought a lot would change after the worlds merged. Maybe there are other little-known races on the new continent now."

"Hmm? Any races similar to the humans?" Lucian asked.

"Not really. They're not as strong, and they don't have as rich a history, but only fairly strong persons know of their existence."

"I see. We have other problems anyway. We've been attacked by angels. Right now, they're trying to break through the city's protective barrier." Vlad said seriously.

"Angels are ruining everything as usual. Where's your father?"

Vlad, Lucian, and Ellen shrugged.

Tremble.

Suddenly their house shook, and sounds of fighting could be heard from outside the hall.

"What? Are we being attacked?" Vlad frowned and ran into the hall. Lucian and Wain followed him, and Ellen stayed with Marine.

'Looks like more of the Angels are feuding with the Vampires. I wonder who will emerge victorious from this fight?' Wain pondered.

This was the first time he interacted with vampires and learned about their family ties and problems. Except for their biological traits, they weren't much different from humans.

Wain wondered if he should have fought alongside them against the angels and improved his relationship with this race or stayed away.

'The vampires are one of the strongest races even among the Pillars, and they might be perfect for being allied with the humans. Even if it's one city or one family, it's already a big step forward.'

Crackle.

They entered the hall and froze in shock. They thought angels were attacking them, but the reason for the sounds of battle was something else entirely.

"Ena, I forbid you to go to the battlefield!" A tall man with long black hair and a short beard exclaimed. He was dressed in red aristocratic attire, and his eyes were deep. It was Vincent Tran, the head of the Tran Family.

Opposite him stood a girl of medium height with short purple hair. She had an unemotional face but a fierce look.

"Father, you are too annoying as always. You've raised strong children. That's an accomplishment but also a big problem simultaneously." Ena said calmly and waved her hand.

Several bloody crosses appeared above Vincent, and they collapsed on him. Vincent snapped his finger and created a protective barrier that the crosses smashed against.

"Ena, I have repeatedly told you that you are overly arrogant. Do you really think you can defeat me at such a young age?" Vincent said menacingly.

Ena frowned. She had no chance of defeating Vincent in open combat, but she wouldn't listen to him.

Excluding Vlad, she was the strongest child in the Tran Family.

Crack.

Suddenly a red lightning orb appeared between them. Vincent and Ena turned around and saw Vlad.

"Brother!" Ena's face instantly changed. She smiled, and her eyes lit up.

Of all the siblings, she loved Vlad the most. He was to her the benchmark of how he could reach the top even if he failed. Also, like her, Vlad had a complicated relationship with his father.

Vincent frowned. The appearance of Vlad's changed the situation. Vincent realized that against the two of them, he didn't stand a chance. Vlad was only slightly weaker than him, and together with Ena, they could easily defeat Vincent.

"Calm down. Now is not the best time to fight." Vlad said seriously and looked intently at his father.

"Vlad, you're finally back. In that case, I hope you can explain to your sister that going and fighting angels is a stupid decision!"

"Pfft, don't get your hopes up. I'm sure my brother will go to the battlefield with me. We must destroy these scoundrels for choosing to attack us." Ena said confidently and lifted her chin proudly.

"Take it easy. Father, Ena is right, we must protect the city from the angels, but not just because they attacked us. They came here because Lucian stole the amulet and saved our mother. That is equivalent to them attacking our family. Should we stand by in such a case?" Vlad asked seriously.

Vincent was surprised and looked at Marine walking along with Ellen. She had not yet fully recovered, but she could easily walk independently. This scene was like a miracle for Vincent.

"Honey... Huh, Lucian, you're good. Okay, in that case, we have to make sure the Tran Family kills the most Angels!" Vincent's mood instantly changed.

Vlad smiled contentedly and looked at Wain, "I know this isn't your war, but will you join us?"
