Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge-Chapter 12 Vampire King Is Alive

Meanwhile, the man whom Marceline and Lyca were talking about was stuck in the forest for a whole day.

After leaving Zhou Ancestral Mansion at dawn, Kira roamed around the forest and nearby mountains, searching for the portal going back to the Kingdom Phantasia.

Lots of things had changed. He was no longer familiar with the human world. Some forests had become industrial lands where several buildings and companies had been established.

From the mountain peak, Kira could see the city lights. He descended from the mountain and decided to go to the city. Kira was shocked by the modernization of the human world.

At the time he was visiting the human world, there were no such things as large buildings and vehicles. The technology had improved a thousand times. Kira felt like his head was spinning seeing this modern world.

Couldn't digest everything, Kira decided to go back to the forests. But the sun finally rose in the east. Kira couldn't leave the forest as he couldn't walk in broad daylight.

Unlike in Kingdom Phantasia, vampires could roam around during daylight since the kingdom was enclosed in a barrier, protecting the vampires from the sun.

But here in the human world, vampires needed sun protection spells in order to walk in broad daylight. The witches were the ones creating and producing those spells for the vampires.

Kira was bored to death as he took shelter under a big old oak tree, waiting for the sun to set. Then suddenly he just found himself smiling as he recalled his encounter with Marceline.

"So her name is Marceline Celeste Zhou," Kira mumbled, tracing his lips using his finger.

Kira learned her name when he asked those security guards. They were under his mind control ability so they answered him right away. They let him go without apprehending him.

They would not remember anything after their encounter with Kira so even if Marceline would interrogate them, she couldn't get any information from them.

"Sigh. I think it's best for me to take a nap. I can't find the location of the portal. I wonder where I can find the gatekeepers."

Kira closed his eyes while leaning his back on the tree trunk. He didn't know how long he had slept. But he was awakened by the sound of howling from the distance. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

When he opened his eyes, it was already nighttime. Kira stood up, stretching his arms. He looked around but all he could see was darkness.

Loud Growl!

Kira furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing another loud growl. He was familiar with this sound. Werewolves!

His lips curled up into a mischievous smile. If he was lucky enough, maybe he could meet Dominique Silvano in this forest.

Kira moved swiftly in the dark, flashing from one tree after another. He rushed into the middle of the forest where the howling sound could be heard, his steps making a crackling sound as he stepped on the dry leaves.

Kira halted on his steps the moment he found four figures. He made sure to conceal his presence as he assessed the situation first.

He saw two werewolves, one witch and one vampire. It looked like the vampire was cornered by the other creatures.

"You have nowhere else to go. Surrender now!" The witch had spoken.

The vampire was injured. He was barely hanging on. His hips and his right shoulder were bitten by the werewolves. The claw marks around his body were deep and long. The blood was oozing out of his wound.

Despite his helpless situation, the vampire refused to give up. Kira could see the determination in his eyes.

"I prefer to die fighting, than surrendering to assholes like you!" The vampire snarled at them, showing his sharp nails and fangs. He was getting ready to fight back.

Another loud growl reverberated in the forest along with the peal of laughter coming from the witch.

"Alright. If you insist, then die!" The witch said, signaling the werewolves to launch their attack.

The two werewolves leaped forward, attacking the vampire using their claws and sharp teeth. He had no way to run as he was trapped by them.

The vampire was about to swing his hands to block their attacks when suddenly he felt his body being pushed aside.

Someone else shielded him from the werewolves' attack, protecting him at his back. He just saw the werewolves flying a few meters away from them before their bodies hit the ground.

The witch and the vampire glanced at Kira in a state of shock. For some unknown reason, this kind of aura was familiar to them.

The werewolves stood up from the ground, getting ready to launch another attack. They growled at Kira, looking at him with an intent to kill.

Running paws could be heard, inching closer and closer to him. The witch also joined the werewolves in attacking Kira, releasing a lightning spell.

But Kira just raised his hand in front of them and said the word, "Kneel!"

At the mention of that word, the werewolves and the witch dropped on their knees as they could feel a strong pressure around them. They felt the gravity pulling them down.

'Damn?! Who is this vampire? He is so strong!'

The witch could feel an intense fear covering her whole body. She couldn't believe that there was still a powerful vampire living in this world.

She wanted to see his face but she couldn't lift her head. The pressure was too overwhelming as if she was not allowed to look at him.

"Sleep!" Kira said another word in his commanding tone. The witch and the werewolves lost consciousness in an instant.

The vampire who was just watching Kira at his back suddenly kneeled on the ground with eyes shedding tears.

"Vampire King is alive… my Lord, you are alive!!!" The vampire finally recognized Kira.

His voice and his domineering aura, he couldn't be mistaken. The man standing before him was none other than their Vampire King, Kira Vladamirovich Alaric.

Kira turned around to face the injured vampire, touching his head while saying, "Yes, I am alive and I am back."
