[But you still managed to identify the figure from its outline, it was none other than ’Regent King’ Mortaza Yukeke.]

[However, the Regent King was no longer the spirited, refined figure he once was; instead, his hair was disheveled, his face smeared with blood, looking like a beggar who had just crawled out of a pile of corpses.]

["You’ve come!" The Regent King, resting against the wall, noticed your arrival, hastily scrambled to his feet, and staggered toward you, a smile full of fanaticism spreading across his face, "I knew it, I knew you would come! Your timing is perfect, now we can finally start our collaboration!"]

["What collaboration?" you asked.]

["Isn’t it obvious?" The Regent King pointed to the covered square-like object behind him, "I have the Stone Coffin, and you are the ’key’ to open it. Together, we can unlock the sarcophagus and become the true ’king’ ruling over this city!"]

["But you are already the Regent King," you said flatly.]

["Not enough! To many, I’m just a mascot under the title of Regent King. This city’s vampires are plenty, and many do not submit to me! I’m sick of their duplicity, I want to ascend to the first generation, or even higher, to make everyone too afraid to defy me! Only with unparalleled strength can one become a true ruler!" The Regent King said with a hint of madness.]

[You sacrificed so many people, almost leading the vampires of this city to extinction, just to advance your power—is it worth it? Even if you become the true king, how many are left in the Blood Clan to rule?" you challenged with a soul interrogation.]

["Hahaha, what does it matter if they all die? Better to say that their extinction is perfect! That’s what vampires are, as long as humans exist, even if only I remain, I can use them to quickly create a vast clan, generation after generation, a Vampire Kingdom that belongs only to me! Then I’ll be the supreme ’god,’ and no one will be able to oppose me!"]

It was apparent that the Regent King’s mental state was questionable after last night’s battle left him without any followers; of course, the sarcophagus’s influence could also be at play.

["Enough talk, open the coffin now!" The Regent King turned and yanked the cloth from the square object. You looked up to confirm, indeed, sunken into the ground before you was Tutankara’s Sarcophagus without a doubt.]

[You choose...]

[You shook your head, silently refusing.]

["What do you mean by shaking your head? This is no time for jokes!" The smile on the Regent King’s face stiffened, and he spoke in a slightly dangerous tone, "I’ll say it again, open—the—coffin—now!"]

[You remained unmoved.]

[The Regent King’s expression darkened, and then he let out a sneering laugh, "Honestly, I’ve been tolerating you for a long time, I didn’t want to fall out with you, but since you’re being such an ingrate..."]

[As he spoke, the Regent King suddenly activated Godspeed, dashing toward you like a lingering shadow; you were caught off guard and struck directly, a horrific wound left on your chest...]

Mu You held his ground against the sudden attack; under the circumstances of a one-on-one duel, no one in the city was his match now.

Mu You reversed time with a flick of his wrist, easily countering the ambush. Then, various Blood Rhythms erupted, and even though the Regent King was a generation below him, he soon could not keep up.

[...The Regent King was blown away by you for the third time, looking at you in shock, as if he had come to a realization; he did not attack again.]

[Suddenly, the Regent King lunged for the Stone Coffin!]

["I admit, I can no longer beat you... but don’t forget, the Stone Coffin is still in my hands!"]

[As you watched in astonishment, the Regent King, with a mad laugh, attempted to pry open the lid of the sarcophagus.]

["I am the true descendant of Cain, I believe the Ancestor will not harm me! And you, you’re just an outsider, a fake vampire posing as the real thing! Between us, the Ancestor will surely choose to help me!"]

[Comforting himself with those words, the Regent King strained with both arms and actually managed to pry open a corner of the Stone Coffin lid, looking inside with wild ecstasy...]

[You did not know what the Regent King saw through the gap, but you saw the Smile on his face abruptly stop, as if he had discovered something terribly horrifying, then he suddenly let go of the coffin lid and ran without looking back...]

[However, before he could take two steps, surging black smoke burst from the crevice of the sarcophagus, quickly catching up to the Regent King, and enveloping his entire body under his desperate gaze...]

[Seconds later, the Regent King’s screams cut off abruptly. Soon the black smoke dissipated, carrying the scent of blood back into the coffin, leaving behind only the Regent King’s mummified corpse with eyes that wouldn’t close in death...]

Mu You sighed. The Regent King had so firmly believed that the thing within the sarcophagus would help him become a god. Only now did his illusion shatter. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

For that thing, he had sacrificed so many vampires along the way, and now, even as the victorious possessor of the Stone Coffin, he had died by its hand, somehow fulfilling the prophecy of the ’Fire’s LastBlight.’

Mu You shook his head and moved forward, using the Shrine of Blood to absorb the Regent King’s corpse.
