Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 220: 217. Return to Atlantis

Deep into the ocean, at the very bottom, an explosion occurred, causing a pulse wave to spread all around the surroundings. A bright light came from the source of the explosion, and a young man emerged.

He was just, but with visible differences in his physical features. He gazed around with his glowing blue eyes, then yawned and looked around.

He now had bright blue eyes, and his hair was darker than ever. He also had marks on his body that resembled scale tattoos.

He noticed the place was silent, then he looked at the item in his hand. It was a golden trident with intricate and beautiful carvings on its body, which glowed red.

Jude swung it around, then he opened his spirit interface to see how much he gained.

Jude was shocked by how his status came to be. He hadn't really been doing anything all this time apart from absorbing the sealed powers in the weapon.

'Is it perhaps trying to get me back to the level of strength the God had before?' He couldn't help but think about that explanation and closed his eyes.

'Scylla.' He called out mentally, and the ocean floor began to shake.

An ominous sound of a creature bellowed in the depths of the ocean floor, and Jude remained with a nonchalant face. Soon, a giant creature emerged from below.

"You're done?" the large, monstrous Kraken asked, and Jude nodded.

"I think it's time to pay Atlantis a visit," Jude's voice sounded to the Kraken, and he suddenly boosted towards Atlantis with insane speed.

It was as if he was manipulating his weight towards a direction as he was like a rocket, heading in one direction.

He soon arrived at another part of the ocean, which was the ocean bed. He swam towards it before he suddenly passed through.

Jude found himself flying down into the wide city of Atlantis and the nagas that existed there.

The place was still brimming with light and even the artificial sun. Jude had nothing to do with the people and flew directly to the prison where they held Zur.

The prison was a massive fortress. The people watched Jude walk through the streets with weird gazes, as they had never seen one like him before.

He stepped and zoomed off into the distance, causing a large wave of wind to knock over most of the things and people around.

He arrived at the prison in only a second and met two guards stationed in front of the doors.

"Who the hell are you?"

"State your purpose!"

The guards ordered him, but he only looked at them in the eyes. Then their expressions became that of dread as they fell to their knees.

"Open the door." Jude's voice was scary, and they opened it quickly and let him in.

He made his way to the cell he remembered. The prisoners there were all staring at him as he passed, and they all began to talk about his strange appearance.

Jude then reverted back to normal, and his brown eyes came back. He walked towards the cell that Zur inhabited.

"Hey."

Hearing a familiar voice, Zur looked up, raising the hair that blocked his face.

"Jude? You're alive?" Zur was visibly shocked and wanted to know how this was even possible.

A giant octopus monster took him away during the day of the execution, and now he was here, well and healthy.

"H–how?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you on our way out," Jude said. Then he ripped out the bars holding Zur with his bare hands, pulling them.

"Come on."

Zur walked beside Jude. He couldn't help but feel that Jude had changed.

Could it be because he was more powerful?

"And that's what happened? I don't know why I was the one to become him, but I'm extremely grateful. Now I can return to my family and meet my mother." Jude said, and Zur smiled.

"But before then, let's take care of this king," Jude said. He smiled and held Zur, then jumped towards the castle.

Zur was shocked by how they flew. The prison was all the way at the edge of the kingdom, but the king's palace was in the middle.

It didn't take long for Jude to land in the castle. The king, who was on his throne, saw him and stood up.

"Stand back," Jude said, and he walked towards the king.

"It seems like you survived, chosen one," the king said, and he furrowed his brows.

"How dumb of you to come here alone with the trident. Now, I'll be taking the trident from you," the king smiled widely and then hit his trident on the ground three times.

Jude felt more presences approaching, and he frowned and stood strong. Zur noticed that they were getting ready to fight.

Seven guards wielding tridents flew down to the stage where Jude was and also a beautiful naga who was the king's right hand.

The lady in blue armor looked at Jude, who was only wielding a trident, and thought of him as stupid.

Meanwhile, the beautiful naga smiled to herself.

'It's just as the king predicted. If he survived, he would come back to Atlantis to find a safe place,' she thought, and Jude only gazed at all of them.

"You're foolish enough to come here all by yourself with no backup?" The king gazed at him, and Jude sighed.

"For me to come here with no backup, it would mean that I'm either too weak or I'm that confident in my abilities to take care of you three."

Ever since Jude absorbed most of Poseidon's memories, he hadn't even tested his power out, so he didn't exactly know how everything worked. But he could test it out now.

He grabbed his trident and ran towards them with a book, and the rest of them charged towards him, holding their respective weapons.

The knights were the first to attack, and Jude was quick. A trident came for him from above, and he raised his up, blocking it before he spun and kicked the knight away. Another one stabbed towards his stomach, and he bent before grabbing the trident and pulling the knight.

He threw the knight towards the other one behind him, and then another two came.

Jude frowned and stabbed his trident into the floor before he got into a stance.

As they came, they both looked at each other, and their tridents became covered in a weird blue energy.

Jude bent backwards, dodging a slash coming towards his neck. Then he jumped up and did a backflip.

He looked into their eyes, and his eyes glowed a bright blue as his irises turned into slits.

"Kneel."

His words boomed in their heads, giving them an unrefusable command. The ability to compel those weaker than you, a skill solely possessed by the vampires of the world above.

The two knights in white and yellow armor kneeled instantly, and the five others attacked him at once.

The beautiful naga beside the king kept her eyes open for any chances she would get to attack, and the king only observed for now.

*BANG!!*

One of the knights got punched backwards. The punch was powerful enough to shatter the armor he wore.

Zur was amazed by his new strength. He clenched his fists, feeling excitement from watching Jude dominate the seven knights that were the kingdom's strongest.

Soon, Jude finished off the knights and picked his trident up from the ground.

The king looked at him and stepped forward.

His trident released an otherworldly cold aura, and Jude smiled as his own began to emit a cold aura. He got into a battle stance.

They both dashed towards each other, and the naga lady beside the king turned nearly invisible as she moved.

Jude's eyes glowed bright blue, and he saw her movements. He clashed with the king, and then they began to attack each other.

The king spun his trident, attacking from various directions, and Jude easily dodged and deflected his attacks.

With the inherited way of using a trident from a god who was said to live hundreds of thousands of years, this was nothing.

He dodged a vertical swing coming from below, and he twirled before hitting the king backwards with his trident.

The king flew back, and Jude smiled as he suddenly turned back at light speed and caught the naga lady by her neck. The king's right hand, who had caught him once, was now at his mercy.

Zur who was sitted by the side was in awe as he witnessed the power of the ancient god.
