With that said, Statham seized Ceb by the throat and lifted him effortlessly. The Survivor struggled at his grasp as he tried to swing his axe wildly. However, the axe itself just shattered upon contact with Statham's hardened flesh.
"You will serve me…" Statham whispered before sinking his fangs deep into Ceb's neck.
After turning Ceb into a Vampire, Statham found three more Survivors who had the potential to become Vampire Knights.
Then, he allowed the other Vampire Knights to turn the remaining survivors into lesser vampires. After all, he needed to use his Blood Essence to turn people into Vampires. He couldn't just spend all of his essence.
In any case, those who resisted were drained dry. Indeed, they were just left as dried corpses with no chance of becoming a Zombie or Vampire but just a mere fertilizer to the ground.
As the morning came, Ironwood Hold was no longer a human refuge.
It had now turned into a vampire nest.
