Vampire Queen Festival.
Every time a new Queen rises, she also needs a "king.
The current queen, Valentina Cepes, ascended the throne a thousand years ago.
And after such a long time, she was not interested in the candidacy of a king, justifying it by the fact that there were no worthy candidates.
However, Xie Qing was alarmed that Valentina had arranged such a festival right after his debut.
Perhaps this was simply an attempt to grasp a good opportunity. After all, the vampire race is in dire straits.
The number of pure-blooded vampires is dwindling, and half-bloods take up the majority of the population.
It is said that the genes of the Tsepesh royal family may dominate other bloodlines.
It is for this reason that it is impossible to find half-breeds in the royal family.
Xie Qing did not understand how their genes were arranged. The first time he heard of them, he was very jealous, because even with his pure blood, there was a chance that his child would not be born with a pure bloodline.
Xie Qing was now sitting surrounded by three ladies who were merrily browsing through fashion accessories and clothing.
He didn't know anything about it, so he sat with a smart look and occasionally nodded his head in approval of one choice or another.
His thoughts were on the festival.
If Xie Qing didn't go to it, he would anger the vampire race, because that could be seen as disrespectful.
Valentina's power is to control the blood in other creatures. She can increase her power by absorbing the blood of her enemies.
But it is not this that surprises, but the fact that she receives no backlash from such enhancement!
The queen's current rank is X+, and his assistant Edward's (the one at the meeting) is X-.
Such power is indeed astonishing, but on the scale of the Supernatural world, it's "not bad."
Xie Qing didn't really want to get involved in such matters, because it's clearly clear that the invitation carries with it some artifice.
His name instills fear in many people, and his involvement with the Abyss makes Xie Qing attractive as an ally.
If someone like him becomes king of the vampires, the authority of the vampire race will obviously rise.
Feeling a headache, Xie Qing sighed. Political games had always been a sore subject for him.
Sometimes he had thoughts of creating a time machine and going back to the time of the Ancient War, when laws and the concept of "influence" did not exist.
In those years, the most important thing in being was power. Money, lineage, titles... it was all just trash.
Xie Qing believed that the Supernatural world had "degenerated" as things like laws and politics came into being.
Despite his more or less good mind, he preferred to kill the enemy directly rather than from the shadows.
In addition, Xie Qing hates beings who hide behind laws, their titles, or their origins.
However, in spite of all the grumblings...
Tranquility and peace are paramount.
Seeing the happy faces of the three ladies, he smiled slightly.
Cherubim, Queen of Elves, Projection of the Abyss.
To ordinary mortals, these are unattainable beings, representing wisdom, protection, and justice.
Now, however, they were arguing with each other as to which garment was best and at what price.
Xie Qing chuckled and caught the downcast glances of the girls, who were completely oblivious to their world.
It was at times like this that he felt calm and serene.
And their joyful faces make him want to become stronger even the "Authorities", so that they could enjoy every day without doubt or fear.
Turning his gaze to the window, he smiled, propping his chin up. He would do all he could for that purpose. In the meantime...
"Face the queen."
...
The Neutral Continent, the Kingdom of Night.
The only place in the Supernatural World where the concept of "day" and "sun" do not exist.
The Kingdom of Night.
An eternally dark kingdom inhabited by vampires. It is divided into three parts and three factions respectively.
The first half, bordering the Empire of Darkness (home of the werewolves).
Vampire servants such as ghouls, zombies, skeletons, and other undead reside there. The inhabitants also include half-breeds, who have only 5% of their vampire bloodline.
The other half, which extends to the border of the Neutral Continent, towards the south.
The total number of the vampire race is one million, not counting half-breeds. For the size of the supernatural world, this is negligible.
At the same time, werewolves have the same number with a slight difference.
Although they are feuding, there are no major clashes.
Speaking of which, just a curious fact. Their fight for the title of "Lord of the Continent" has gone so far that the other rulers have painfully named the continent Neutral.
While this did not appease their feud, it was better for each side than admitting defeat.
But despite the outward calm...
There was noise in one of the cheap bars. So much so, in fact, that the whole street was filled with the sounds.
The bar looked completely ruined. Bottle glass, broken chairs and tables, and murdered patrons.
The whole reason was the two people. More specifically, a vampire and a werewolf.
They stood in front of each other, radiating an aggressive aura that was ready to explode at any moment.
The vampire looked like a young man in his twenties. He had blond hair, red eyes, and pale skin.
The werewolf had the appearance of a middle-aged man. Dirty black hair, gray eyes, and a wild aura.
A classic look for a werewolf.
"ROAAR!"
Growling like an animal the werewolf began to transform. The fur appeared on his arm, and in a moment he was transformed into a real werewolf.
He was seven feet tall, which wasn't much, considering the full potential of a werewolf. From this you could tell that he was a half-blood.
The vampire opposite, however, was a pure-blooded member of his race.
Unbeknownst to all, a cloaked man entered the bar. His keen gaze fell upon the two fighters and he waited.
