'It's funny to think that the humans have such a misguided view of vampires.'
Jacob was invisible at the moment and stood in a crowd of vampires at the beach on a hot sunny day.
During the day there were just like any ordinary human minus not having a reflection but at night their true forms are revealed to show their pale white skin and blood red eyes.
'Seems they have an ample amount of pure bloods.'
Vampires followed a hierarchy based by blood purity from the first Vampire, Dracula Tepesh.
First were the Pure Bloods who were by far the strongest of the Vampires.
'Each of the pure bloods are on par with a Rank 9 Hunter. But their powers are still weakened.'
Jacob gave the vampires at present an accurate review and at present in their weakened state they had 11 Rank 9's, and nearly 200 Rank 7's while a few other lower ranked ones.
Jacob was contemplating wether or not to reawaken their sealed potential as they might prove to be an even greater threat. But soon realized he was discovered as all the vampires formed a circle around him.
"We smell your blood coursing through your veins. Reveal yourself."
Jacob was impressed by their strong sense of smell and revealed himself as he removed his mask.
"How impressive… Vlad, Son of Dracula."
Vampires were as strong as humans who weren't hunters except the Pure Bloods were unaffected by this punishment. So Jacob steeled himself as Vlad unleashed a godly amount of mana after hearing his name.
"How do you know my name… anwser quick or I'll bleed you dry before you breathe your next breath."
Jacob grabbed a tiny vial filled with a blue substance which immediately made Vlad and the other Pure Bloods stop dead in their tracks.
"Now that I have your undivided attention I came to make an offer. Rally your forces and prepare for battle in 12 Hours or say goodbye to your benefactor."
Jacob returned to the Ethereal Realm at the peak of his mountain and saw all the vampires disperse while only the pure bloods remained on the white sand.
"We all felt it right? It couldn't be anything else."
"Indeed Vlad… that Human had it in its filthy hands. We must get it back."
"Indeed but first we must find it. Valen can you find it?"
Valen who looked more carefree than the others place a hand on the sand and listened against the roaring waves and seagulls making noise.
"No… I can find it or the human."
Valen was more of a tracker then a fighter and until that moment there was nothing he could not find.
"Valen can't find the human? Could it be a Demigod or an Avatar?"
Vlad was the Eldest of the Pure bloods and the wisest among them but even he couldn't come to terms with what happened.
"I sensed no divine power from that human so it wasn't an Avatar and no demigod could capture and contain our benefactors soul."
There truly was no definitive answer to be said except for a way forward.
"Rally our banners. We need to be ready."
The vampires were quite arrogant and prideful but to secure their Benefactors Soul from Jacob meant more then anything else.
Jacob knew that even if he told the pure bloods to kill all the lesser vampires and amputate their arms they would do it.
To them it was a sense of loyalty and honour but Jacob knew differently as he poured the vial on a husk which was a body without a form or a soul.
It looked no different then a clay doll the size of a human.
Only after the last drop was absorbed did it spring to life and not in a calm way.
"YOU GOD DAM SON OF A BITCH! Give me back my body NOW!"
"Glad to see that after an eternity you still have the same fight in you. But we both know that it's impossible for you to reclaim your body without my help seeing as I'm the only one who knows where it is."
The benefactor of the Vampires and the first of Demon kind, Sauron The Blood King.
"What do you want? I doubt you brought my soul into this husk just to torment me."
Sauron was on par with Gaia in terms of power, if he still had his body and soul intertwined again.
Now he was as weak as a Goul on the brink of death.
"You'll see soon enough, now go to sleep."
Sauron fell asleep with a simple snap of Jacob's fingers and was turned into a crystal necklace.
'A fitting prison cell for a demon. After the vampires and the Beastman become known they will be the center of attention. During the commotion Ill be able to create the Triple Inverted Trapezoid lying in the sea.'
Jacob was about to walk off inside the Ethereal Realm when he felt his hand trembling.
All this time Jacob barely had gotten to recharge his energy naturally and was syphoning energy from the Ethereal Realm itself.
'Once the Triple Inverted Trapezoid is built and the climbers know the truth then I'll have to rest… No… I can't stop now… I have to push through and create more towers… they need to be ready.'
Jacob steeled his resolve once more and disappeared into the shadows.
Meanwhile both Aiden and Mel stood outside their respective towers ready to face what came next.
'Time to explore this tower and reach the top!'
'I will defeat Kantokol and gain the answers I want from that bastard.'
