Arriving at a broad set of iron gates that had two vampires standing guard, both of them female and dressed in leather armour with ma.s.sive pikes that seemed to be far too large for the body size, both of them bowing in respect to them as Delina advanced first with Nathan following behind.

Inside the iron doors was a ma.s.sive open cave, it seemed like the vampires had created a plateau with many iron-based, wooden structures and other defences. A quick look would only show one entrance which was a ramp on the southern side of the base.

He could see many large pots with a fire under it, archers and many others with the same large pikes. He could tell it would be an almost impossible fight trying to climb up the sides of the walls to get onto the plateau while going up the hill with boiling oil and archers would be another suicide move.

"I doubt they have s.h.i.+elds or anything similar?"

Delina shook her head as she approached the lead vampire. The woman standing at the forefront was wearing heavy plate armour wielding a double-handed broadsword with one arm, her short pink frizzy hair showing she must have used some illusion magic to change the colour. Her face was hardened and strong as she snorted as she looked over the edge with so many ratmen corpses below.

She had a towering height of 6'3 with the armour that made her seem freakishly tall herself with no way to tell her figure with such thick armour covering her. Her eyes a dull red as she eventually turned around to bow before Delina.

"Madam Delina, no signs of activity today, seems to be quiet."

Her eyes would turn to the man who walked up behind her, her annoyance as a single male stood by her side, did he not know his place.

"Excuse me, young man, you are new here. Blood Servants stand a foot or two behind the Mistress."

Nathan felt like laughing, he knew his current appearance was undoubtedly going to keep mistakes like this coming up, every time he had met someone, and they did not understand him, they would make a similar mistake.

Delina sensed the issue on the horizon as she looked between Nathan and Jelia her number two right-hand vampire. If she did not nip this in the b.u.t.t now, then it would have issues with the All Creator in the future.

"Jelia please I think you need to..."

"Jelia! That is a nice name!"

Nathan would interrupt Delina, who felt fear rising inside her, she was too late to stop the man, and now she knew her image was ruined.

"You dare Interrupt my Mistress!"

Jelia shouted back, clearly annoyed as she was gripping her broadsword tightly, her eyes staring at him as she felt like turning the man into a pancake on the floor. Delina, on the other hand, cursing Jelia out inside her mind, making this matter worse.

"Sorry, It's a bad habit of mine. I'm here to help with the rat problem. Can you show me the main entrance they are coming from?"

"Tei, May. Please show this man the location of the long corridor; he wants to look at it. Be careful you two and leave if danger comes."

Nathan followed behind both vampires as they moved outside the gate, only raising it for a brief second before allowing it to drop rapidly behind them as the sound echoed through the room, every vampire staring across the large cave as they watched for any signs of trouble.

Both the vampires quickly moved across the ground as they reached the long pa.s.sageway, which was an understatement as this corridor was at least two hundred to two hundred and fifty meters long. Running down this corridor was suicide for either party, it was lucky that most of the vampires had built on the more ma.s.sive plateau behind him instead of here, the ratmen used to run down this corridor uncontested.

"Are you satisfied, maybe you should come back otherwise injury may be sustained."

Nathan smiled to the woman as he reached down, grabbing one of the stones on the ground as he then tossed said rock down the corridor, the sounds of the rock smas.h.i.+ng into the ground echoing like a siren as both vampires stared at him in disbelief.

"Are you dull in the head! They will be coming soon, Let's go Tei, I don't want to die standing next to a human who has something wrong with his head."

As they spoke, the end of the long two hundred-ish meters started to rumble, large rat-like creatures charging from the end, hundreds pouring out into the corridor. Each one roughly 6'5 in height with large brown bodies covered in fur, large white claws sticking out, long enough to shred anything to pieces. The odd thing about each of them was the dark mist floating from the ears, mouth and eyes. Each one influenced by the darkness.

"Summon Thyself. Sens.h.i.+!"

The bow was expanding from his right hand, the black oak rapidly entwining to make the bow as it formed outside his grip. Few seconds were pa.s.sing before it took the shape of a longbow with elegance and beauty of an ancient weapon. The string unwinded from the ends as they connected to each other in the middle as it formed the full bow.

Nathan's body was now spilling out the same aura as before, the same might that shrouded him the time back when fighting against the army. The cape of power that made anything feel fear as they looked upon this awe-inspiring scene as the light escaped his body, filling the bow with an arrow made of pure energy, the string pulled back as Nathan aimed down the centre of the corridor, his lips curling as they came closer and closer. One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters.

"Goodbye corrupted sp.a.w.n of death. May you be at peace!"
