Mage Legend-Chapter 364: Vampire Prince 2

The Angel looked up, gazing with pity at the evil creature before them.

"Your gaze is not right, my dear celestial kin. Have you been living up there for too long and forgotten how to look higher? Do you think you’re already the greatest existence?"

"How do you know you’re not being surpassed by others if you no longer look upward?"

"I still don’t like your expression."

He began uncorking a bottle, swallowing the souls inside one by one, describing the exquisite taste to the Angel in front of him after each one.

The Angel looked up at him, with a pair of azure eyes blazing with a furious rage—the fury of Heaven.

He chuckled and turned to leave the library.

The room was now empty, save for a female angel struggling desperately on the shelf. With eyes filled with hatred and anger, she stared intently in the direction he left, feathers strewn across the floor, as if burning...

"Master Soylard, the task you assigned to me has been completed."

"All done? Well done. How many souls did you obtain this time?"

"Exactly two hundred. People are becoming more depraved. Just tempt them a little, and they obediently trade their souls for something illusory."

"Yes, then go for a rest. Take three days off. I need to prepare that Magic."

"Master, but you swore that once I found two hundred souls, you would elevate my Vampire powers by one rank on the night of the full moon. But..."

"Can you see the moon?"

"Master, I beg you. My residence will be attacked in three days. I can’t afford to lose it. Please..."

"Half a year ago, how long did it take you to tempt someone’s soul?"

"About three days."

"And now?"

"A little while..." he lowered his head.

"Hasn’t your ability improved?" Soylard reclined in a soft chair, fingers gently stroking the golden vial before him: "The world’s most potent weapon is their influence over others’ minds. Have you heard of a Vampire named ’Yang’? He diligently trained his spiritual power, indeed a wise choice."

"Your ability has now surpassed your former rank. However, as a reward, I will still give you something."

He took out an exquisitely embroidered small pouch from his inner pocket, placed it on the table in front, carefully opened it, and gently pinched an elixir pill with two fingers.

"This can enhance your ability, produced with that Magic. I don’t wish to labor through any ceremony to elevate your capability; just swallow this. But..."

"Master, I am eternally your most devoted servant..."

"I don’t want anyone to know about this object, so go to my library at the back, consume it immediately once inside. Wait until the power stabilizes before coming out. Do not show any flaw."

"Yes! Master!" He excitedly took the pill and hurried towards the library.

Soylard returned the pouch to his vest, began toying with the golden vial in his hand.

In the library, he was wildly amassing power, massive black wings pierced from his back, and his muscles convulsed violently. His eyes emitted a blood-red glow, and black breath expelled from his mouth.

The Angel watched this demon before them, eyes full of sorrow, feathers scattered everywhere, soaked with tears...

After a while, the entire castle had quieted down. Soylard walked up to the Angel. In this silent library, only they remained.

"Lovely Angel, you always reside on the high Heaven Mountain, considering the creatures below as nothing but ants, their only function to trouble you—needing to guide them to heaven time and again."

His fingers lightly brushed the Angel’s exposed white skin, caressing gently over her fair face. "Yet I must say, you are indeed very alluring. Even a Vampire Prince like me can be tempted, not to mention those mundane humans."

"What difference is there between you and us? Don’t you also use sweet words to take away others’ souls?"

"No! We take souls to allow them to enjoy the bliss of eternal life in heaven!" The Angel finally spoke.

"Is eternal life blissful? You know, those Vampires spawned by me have attained eternal life. Do you think they’re happy?"
