Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 223: 220. The new king. Back to the surface!

Zur gazed at Jude as he interrupted in the fight. That isn't supposed to be done. But then he calmed down as he remembered that Jude wasn't a native of Atlantis and wouldn't know their culture.

A warrior must fight to the death when contending for the throne.

Jude however, didn't know this and took pity upon this woman who kidnapped him and brought him to the palace when he was out of prison once. He decided to throw her in prison later for a while.

"Is there any one else who wants to challenge Zur?" Jude's voice boomed and reverberated all around the place and everyone had hesitant looks.

After seeing no one come down, he looked towards Zur with a smile.

"Well, look who's king."

...

*Ka!*

"Ow! What did you do that for?" Jude asked, putting a hand on his head as he and Zur walked towards the exit of the palace.

"Why would you put me in this kind of situation. I could have died or even lost a few limbs," Zur berated Jude and Jude only chuckled.

Zur smiled as it still was too sudden. As if the entire thing was rushed.

Jude wasn't in a hurry but he had to leave this place as he was told by the Kraken that his brother and a few others on the ship survived.

He needed to find them.

"Yeah, I couldn't think about anyone other than you. Believe me when I say you would make a better king that I would ever be," Jude said and Zur didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or as an insult.

From what he learned about Jude, they seemed to have very interesting laws that guide the people.

But in Atlantis authority and power were the most important things a person can use to live comfortably.

The guards back at the palace all knelt down before Zur as they were about to leave and then Jude rose a brow.

A man walked forward.

He had the same features of the naga race but his silvery serpent eyes made him seem even more monstrous and unreal.

"Your majesty, I am the captain of the guards of the palace. We're at your command," the man said before he bowed down to Zur.

"Alright then. Have people repair all the damages done to the castle," Zur said and then the knight signalled the guards there to follow him.

Jude was fascinated by the fact that the guards seemed to have already accepted the fact that Zur was the new king and he smiled.

They walked back towards the prison and then they got to the location after a few minutes. The guards there seemed to recognize them and let them in.

Zur made his way to a few special cells and he opened the doors for a few certain people to come out.

All these people were part of his rebellion that was silenced by the king not so long ago

They soon left the building and then Jude got to know the other people that were with them.

Seeing how Zur interacted with the people, he deduced that they were friends with him and he wasn't wrong.

"These are the people that were part of my rebellion." Zur pointed to the group of people he freed and Jude nodded.

"It's nice to meet you chosen one, thank you for getting rid of the king."

"Our people really suffered."

Jude only smiled at them and then he and Zur along with the small group of people went towards the city. Stay with us at m.v.l.e.mpyr

They soon arrived at a small stadium in the city where they once played 'trident's target' and they couldn't wait but to play it again.

...

After a last detour around the city, Zur and Jude went to meet Lilian who was still at home and then she hugged her brother tightly as she had been worried about him.

She looked over at Jude and she looked down.

"Thank you... F– for everything."

Her voice sounded timid and he could tell that she was shy and he smiled at her. She painted his body a while ago, what was the reason for shyness.

Or was it fear? He wasn't sure.

"It's no biggie. As the so called chosen one, it's my duty."

Jude nearly died of cringe when he said that and he shook his head as it sounded weird. He actually wasn't aiming to set Atlantis straight. He just wanted to get revenge on the king...

The world was harsh to people who are dependent on others.

'I have to talk to Zur one last time before I go.' Jude thought as they all went into the house to chill.

...

Soon, the axis which illuminated Atlantis began to dim and go down.

Jude got ready to leave this dreaded place and he was already outside with Zur.

"You better come back once in a while," Zur said and playfully punched Jude on the shoulder and he smiled and nodded.

"I will. I have to find my family, after that, I'll make sure to regularly visit." He said and then they shook hands before Jude jumped up with all his strength towards the ocean above.

He gave one last look to Atlantis and he sighed as he was submerged in the waters.

He moved upwards and then he saw a giant creature which resembled an octopus and he smiled.

*"What were you doing this entire time?"* He asked with telepathy and the Kraken looked up.

*"That creature was tough, he struggled a lot. To think he would use the octilus stone like that... I ripped him apart."* The kraken answered him and he chuckled before he moved towards its head.

*"Let's head towards surface."* Jude said and without wasting time, they shot upwards like a jet.

He didn't know what kind of things waited for him above the waters. He didn't know how much of the world has changed. But he wanted to meet his family so bad.

'I doubt Dexter is as strong as me now. I'll make sure to beat him up at least once in my lifetime.' Jude giggled at the thought of bearing his elder brother and not long after, they got to the surface and his eyes widened as a large steam of flames shot towards him.

He was quick as he waved his hand and the water moved to block him.

"What the fuck is... Going... On?"

To his horror, he saw thousands of people flying in the air, fighting each other. He then spotted a large creature in the distance.

"A... dragon?"
