Sora looked at the throne in silence and expressionless.
The Vampire King looked at him, analyzing every move that Sora might do.
After some minutes, another vampire came running from one of the doors on the left side of the chamber and broke the silence.
"My King! We have retreated the civilians to the last wall defense. We cannot spare more time, we have to go!" The vampire gave a report to the King who neither move or show a change of expression.
Sora instead, a surprise expression appear in his young face when he heard the word 'civilian'.
With Arkon and Sylgard, Sora knew that the monsters also have rankings, but he didn't expect to hear that they actually have a civilization.
The King obviously noticed the change and a small smile appear on his handsome and perfect bit pale face.
"The Master, you came here to help us. Or, at least, that was what Juliet told me," the King stretch his words and mouthed them slowly. Sora stayed silent.
The other vampire who gave the report finally noticed that they weren't alone and put on a defensive-offensive stance.
Arkon and Sylgard immediately appear next to Sora to protect him from anyone who dare to attack him.
"Your bodyguards seemed to be fast enough to respond to a threat, I like it," the King finally smiled showing his long fangs.
Sora looked at him, and understood it was his turn to speak.
"Answering to your first comment, yes, I came here today to help your people and any creature that has not been corrupted," Sora stated trying to keep his cool, which was difficult when two dark red eyes were watching him as an apperitive.
"We can't trust him! He is human!" The vampire yelled.
The King looked at him with severity, the vampire stopped talking looking down. His stance change completely to submission making Arkon and Sylgard relaxed a bit.
"You don't know how we, the night creatures, think. We are in constant war between us mainly because of our gods. How do you expect for us to work together?" The King looked Sora in the eyes.
"You are right, I don't understand anything about your beliefs, but I know some of your daily activities and I can assure that you share more with the the werewolves than you think," Sora knew that the principal fight was between vampires and werewolves, leaving the rest of the night creatures to choose a side or try to remain neutral.
Of course, there are other fights like the ones between specters and witches. Not to mention the internal fights between some demons who are difficult to meet with and survive.
"Also, I know that in this dungeon there are only vampires, werewolves, shadows, specters, shapeshifters, and 'ravens'. I want to talk to every leader from each group, we don't have time to waste," Sora knew that he was acting like a all knowing person, but he needed to make a gamble. To complete the mission and survive, he needed to bring all night creatures and shadows he can to his dungeon tower.
"You are acting out of place, The Master, without knowing what you are asking to take place in this chamber. Furthermore, you don't have an army to defend your point, and, if you are right and know how our culture works, you should know that it is necessary when you demand something like gathering all the leaders," the King was obviously offended.
It was the first time that a human so reckless appeared in front of him and was still standing without any injuries.
"Juliet, take him out from my sight. I don't wan-" the King was saying when Sora interrupted him making him more infuriated.
"Who told you that I don't have an army to support my words?" Sora smiled coldly.
Maybe he was thirteen years old while the King might have more than thousand years, but he understood that he needed force to have the night-creatures' leaders to gather and to listen to him.
Suddenly, shadows from every corner appeared like they were summon by someone.
Sora smiled to himself when he located Arkon in front of the army of shadows.
"Told you I have my army. Remember that the leader of the shadows is my servant. I only needed some time to let him gather every shadow that wasn't corrupted. So, now gather every leader you can contact, we don't have time to lose," Sora tried to keep himself firm in front os the Vampire King, but it was difficult because the King was maybe level +90 if not higher.
The King looked at the army and his infuriated stance diminished, "Regal! Take four of your soldiers and sent a message to each leader of the other species. Regal, you are going to the werewolves disarm, understand?"
The vampire that appeared before, now Regal, bowed his head towards his King and left in a hurry. Through the corner of his eyes, Sora noticed another four shadows-like following Regal, who he assumed were other vampires.
"Now we just wait," the King smiled giving Sora chills.
Sora hoped that the werewolves listened to Regal and don't killed him on the spot.

The event will end in 6 hours 00 minutes 45 seconds.

Sora looked at the message and began to nervously pace.
The Vampire King only looked at him trying to decipher why a boy was selected to have the title The Master.
He and the other night creatures' leaders had some knowledge about him, but just a little.
The King knew that The Master was capable of getting strong quickly.
"Tell me , The Master, what is your level right now?" The King suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask?" Sora suspiciously answered with another question.
"Mmm… I'l tell you. I know that the one holding your title is capable of leveling fast. I was curious only, you don't have to answer," he finished while stroking slowly his chin in a thoughtful gesture.
Sora stop pacing and looked at the thoughtful expression of the King
One hour later, the other leaders appeared one by one. The first ones were the Shapeshifters' Leader and the Specters' Leader. Then the 'Ravens''Leader appeared wearing a long robe that cover completely his body. However, the Werewolves' Leader and Regal didn't appear. Sora began to worry what could have happened. He needed all the leaders present to began the process of relocating them, and time was quickly passing. Ten minutes went by, and the Werewolves' Leader finally appeared with 5 werewolves that were holding a bloodied (but alive) Regal.
"I heard that The Master finally appeared," the Werewolves' Leader said with a smirk.
Sora could see that the Vampire King was holding his rage after spotting the condition which Regal was in.
"Yes, he is here to talk and help us with our little problem, the one that is finishing your species," of course the King must get pissed the Werewolves' Leader.
"You!" One of the werewolves snarled at the Vampire King.
"Stop! We are here for a solution, not a fight," the 'Ravens'' Leader suddenly spoke showing a large peak under her robe were her face should be… wait, HER?
Sora was surprised to hear a female voice. There was not much information about 'ravens' so he was surprised that a woman was the leader unlike the other leaders.
"Please talk, The Master, before these two start another war while having the problem with the corruption," she continued slowly, and maybe giving a glare to the two men that were fighting earlier.
"Ahem, yes. Well, getting short the tale, I need your help to relocate every creature to my dungeon in 4 hours before this one colapse. Don't worry, each specie will have its own floor. However, right now I didn't have the time to prepare those floors but I installed a Corruption Detector that will help to detect those that are, well, corrupted," while he was saying that Sora went through the Build Page of his dungeon after purchasing the Corruption Detector.

Corruption Detector (Cost: 50 VIT Points)

It was expensive, but necessary.
"You expect us to trust you? You are naive, kid," the Specters' Leaders told him with a chuckle.
"Well, why don't you present yourselves so we start with the basic for a relationship? My name is Sora," Sora answered with his beautiful smile.
