Chapter 555: The Calculations Of A Vampire Empress

Within her castle, a mischievous Vampiress looked into the situation. Her Vampires suddenly all died with a delay of a few minutes in between each one...

And then, Black was defeated too, the entire territory of his Dark Shadow Sect was decimated, and even the beast he had were killed.

"Who... Who did this? Black... He's gone now... Completely... gone..."

The woman, nicknamed Red by those that knew her personally, and known as the "Tyrannical Empress" by her Vampires seemed to be filled with contempt.

She couldn't believe what had just happened just now. Although she couldn't see it properly anymore, she had observed part of what happened across the eyes of her subjects.

She saw the beams of chaos and light and life coming from the skies, she saw how two of these strong Vampires was vaporized alive and saw how those powerful beings emerged and killed the other two Vampires.

The mysterious gods, the strange ice elf, the powerful crows, and the... intelligent weapons.

Of course, when they died, she completely lost her connection with her, even though it could be possible for her to still see through their vision even as souls.

But she felt something darker and abyssal take the souls away and stop any way for them to continue seeing for her.

Aside from this, she also had a few other beings... such as small bats made of blood left around by his Vampires beforehand.

Most of them died in the catastrophes, but the few that survived managed to catch a few things, such as a gigantic snake falling from the skies, chasing down Black, and then generating a Domain she had never seen before...

When the domain broke, Black was nowhere to be seen.

He was killed...

Even his soul... It was completely destroyed.

The shockwaves of mana and elements took down most of these weak Blood Bats, but a few of them survived.

She wished to investigate more and see the true nature and appearance of the one doing all of this, but as of now, she had not the time.

She quickly used these blood bats to move to the sect's territory and dug deep underground. She fused the blood bats into a moving mass of blood and quickly used it to look for things.

Until it finally reached an underground chamber that barely managed to not break down, where many items were lying in there, all of them from Black's inheritance.

A smile surged in her, as her eyes seemed a bit desperate.

She hurried up, moving the slime made of blood, which began to crab everything it could and engulf it inside of its blood-made body.

After it got what it wanted from this treasury, it quickly dug even deeper underground, and disappeared, slowly moving back to where Red lived.

It might take a long time to even reach her...

But that's all she could do.

A malicious smile emerged in her face.

"Well, Black, you will not be missed! At the very least I managed to get what I truly wanted... your precious treasures, not all of them are mine, but a few of the important ones will soon come to me..." she laughed.

The woman's eyes quickly squinted as she looked into the red crystal orb before her, it created a projection made of magic that showed images of what she had seen through the eyes of the vampires before they died, and also of the blood bats.

She wasn't able to catch much important info than see the giant snake run towards Black, sadly. If she had tried to chase them down using the blood bats, the shockwaves of magic released by the fight might had destroyed these units, and she needed them for what she was planning to do, which was using them to steal the items and then move them underground towards her.

She continued browsing through all the images she got, stopping at the blurry image of a giant silvery-white eight-headed serpent... or something. What she was seeing wasn't completely clear.

Through her very long life, she had never seen such a bizarre monster before, it was truly something that amazed her to no end. She looked at it intensively for several minutes but couldn't help but find its entire appearance rather hideous.

There was a certain dreadfulness to this beast, as if it were not just a giant monster, but something more... a dragon, perhaps?

"Guessing things out won't help... Calculation...? Ah, why would I waste my divine mana in such a useless thing? ...But knowing more about a being capable of killing someone like Black would be useful... Hmm..."

Red began to think several things and consider them out. But what was calculation? It was something that immortals were able to do, considering various factors, they could calculate answers and theories through intense meditation and thought processing, it could take days, weeks, months, or even years to get any answer at all.

But calculation was often very useful at helping the user discern an enemy's plans and more, amongst other things. Red knew very well that it could come in handy if she could learn more about her enemy's true intentions, or perhaps figure out what its true identity it might be, or from where did this thing even belonged to.

However, calculations were not always accurate... there was always the chance the entire thing she figured out would be not accurate at all and ended being just a very complex theory, after all, calculating was simply using already known information to figure out an incredible amount of things through calculating all sorts of possible scenarios that linked to other things the user might know that could be related to them, but now? She didn't knew exactly what else could even link to this entire situation, it was all in the blue for her, and she felt rather frustrated with this, the point of clenching her teeth in anger.

"I feel like this could end up being way more than I am imagining... It could be worth giving it a shot..." she thought.
