Sitting down beside a table filled with fruit plates, Stella took the initiative to ask.
"What is the situation on Island of Gozo now?"
La Folia replied, "Besides us, we have currently discovered two other factions."
Stella asked, "Two factions? Besides the Vampire Alliance, who else?"
La Folia said, "The Black Death Emperor Faction."
Stella asked, "Black Death Emperor Faction... I have some impression. Isn't that a terrorist organization primarily composed of beastmen?"
La Folia nodded. "The Black Death Emperor Faction is a terrorist organization that promotes beastman supremacy and has always been dedicated to eliminating humans and taking their place."
"However, the Gods do not permit this, and coupled with the Church constantly hunting down the Black Death Emperor Faction, their situation is not good."
Stella asked, "Then they came to compete for the Fourth Primogenitor to resist the Church and the Gods?"
La Folia said, "That seems to be the case for now."
As she spoke, La Folia took out a map and placed it on the table, pointing to the lower right corner of the island.
"My people discovered members of the Black Death Emperor Faction on the edge of the island yesterday. After being exposed, they saw no hope of retreat and chose to self-destruct."
"Thanks to them, we didn't gather much useful information. How many people the Black Death Emperor Faction brought this time is still a mystery."
After introducing the Black Death Emperor Faction, La Folia pointed to the upper right of the island.
"This is the location of the Fourth Primogenitor's remains, and also the base of the Vampire Alliance."
"Their attitude is very firm, they don't allow anyone near that place. Therefore, I could only settle for setting up camp here."
Stella frowned. "How many people did they bring?"
La Folia took out two photos and said, "Excluding some low-level vampire attendants, there are two main people to watch out for."
"Elmenhilde Karnstein."
"The envoy of the First Primogenitor, the Lost Warlord, Dimitrie Vatler."
"Dimitrie Vatler?"
Stella had some impression of this name.
He was a celebrity in the vampire world in recent years, having overthrown and devoured two vampire elders. Because of his exceptionally impressive record, he was hailed as the man closest to a Primogenitor, and his strength was formidable.
However...
"If it's just this level, Tatsuma doesn't even need to act. I can handle it alone."
"Confidence is a good thing, but you'd better not trust my information too much."
Seeing Stella's high spirits, La Folia poured a bucket of cold water on her at the right time to help her calm down.
"Just as the enemy doesn't know about Tatsuma's arrival, we also don't know if the enemy has hidden trump cards."
"As far as I know, the Carmilla Faction vampires visited the territories of the three Primogenitor before coming to the Island of Gozo."
"Currently, we've only seen the envoy sent by the First Primogenitor. It's not ruled out that the other two Primogenitors have sent people."
Speaking of this, La Folia looked at the man beside her who hadn't spoken, and asked, "Tatsuma, do you have any plans?"
"Just charge through."
"Eh?"
"They are just some mere trash. Why bother thinking so much?"
Putting down the empty fruit plate in his hand, Tatsuma stood up and snapped his fingers, summoning a magic circle.
"I'm ready. If you have no issues, let's go together."
...
Fourth Primogenitor Remains.
Elmenhilde walked down into the underground, stopping in front of a large stone gate emitting holy light.
After staring at the stone gate for a moment, she turned to look at the blond man not far away. "How is the situation?"
Dimitrie said, "To use a progress bar analogy, about 1% of the seal has been undone."
"Too slow. Can't you go faster?"
"It's already very fast."
Dimitrie shrugged, "This is a seal left by the famous God of the Bible. To be honest, if it weren't for that person's help, we wouldn't even be qualified to undo the seal."
"...Alright, I understand."
Elmenhilde sighed, accepting reality.
"Let's get down to business. You didn't come here just to check the progress, did you?" Dimitrie's voice sounded again.
Elmenhilde nodded slightly and took out two pieces of intelligence from her In arms.
"New reinforcements have arrived from the human side, namely the Red Dragon Emperor and the Crimson Princess."
"Furthermore, the Black Death Emperor Faction has landed on the island. Their movements are very secretive, and I haven't gathered detailed intel."
"Heh heh. They are all heavy-hitters."
Dimitrie's eyes lit up, and he became spirited.
As a battle maniac, what he liked most was fighting strong opponents.
Whether it was Stella, a candidate for the strongest human, or Tatsuma, who had become famous recently, both seemed like good targets to him.
As for the Black Death Emperor Faction...
Dimitrie narrowed his eyes and thoughtfully rubbed his chin.
Although Elmenhilde's strength was average, her reconnaissance methods were very good. Even she hadn't gathered any intel, which showed that the Black Death Emperor Faction was well-prepared this time.
Elmenhilde said, "I can't hold the fort outside alone now. I need you to come out and assist. In the worst case, we will have to ask that person to personally help."
Dimitrie nodded and agreed, "I understand. Then let's go out and take a walk."
However, as soon as he stood up, an explosion sounded in the nearby passage.
"Hmm? How is this possible!"
As if sensing something, Elmenhilde's expression changed, showing shock on her face.
"Barrier? When was it set up?!"
"It seems the enemy doesn't have much patience."
Dimitrie led the way into the passage ahead.
Seeing this, Elmenhilde quickly followed.
They returned to the surface through the passage, and surging flames came into view.
Familiars emitting vast demonic energy rampaged continuously, and beastmen holding elite weapons constantly launched attacks.
As far as the eye could see, there were corpses of beastmen and vampires everywhere, like a human purgatory.
"This weapon... Deva technology?" Dimitrie narrowed his eyes.
He raised his hand, and summoned three giant snakes to join the battlefield.
Compared to ordinary familiars, Dimitrie's familiars were much stronger. In just a few seconds, most of the beastmen on the battlefield were annihilated, and the vampires regained the upper hand.
"Don't retreat! Maintain the front line!"
"Calling headquarters! Requesting support!"
Exclamations sounded one after another, and the beastmen from the Black Death Emperor Faction pulled the triggers and attacked the giant snakes.
However, in the face of the absolute difference in strength, their resistance was merely a futile struggle. In just under a minute, the Black Death Emperor Faction on the battlefield was completely wiped out.
After that, Dimitrie didn't become complacent but looked towards the forest not far away.
"Since you're here, stop hiding and come out."
"Hmm? I didn didn't expect to be discovered by you."
A figure dressed in a suit, out of place with the battlefield, walked out of the forest.
"You are... Shahryar Ren?"
The moment he saw the other party, Dimitrie's pupils constricted, showing an expression of surprise.
"Why are you here?"
"Of course, I'm here to retrieve the Fourth Primogenitor."
Shahryar put one hand in his pocket and casually waved his empty right hand.
Boom!
The surging energy turned into invisible blades and descended.
Feeling the danger approaching, Dimitrie immediately retreated to dodge. Even so, he was still hit by this attack, leaving a huge scar on his chest.
"Cough! As expected, you have some skills."
After spitting out a large mouthful of blood, Dimitrie raised his hand and summoned six more giant snakes with different appearances.
After the brief exchange just now, he had clearly realized the difference in strength.
If he didn't want to die, he could only reveal his trump card and fight back now.
Boom!
Surging demonic energy erupted from Dimitrie's body, turning into substance, as he activated his Familiar Fusion ability, merging the nine giant snakes into one.
"Reign over the world, Primeval Serpent!"
The nine snake familiars intertwined, forming a Serpent Tree hundreds of meters long.
Serpent roots and branches spread out, enveloping the entire battlefield's ground, turning into a Serpent Barrier that released poison mist.
"Just looking at the demonic energy fluctuations, it even surpasses a Primogenitor-level Familiar, which is interesting."
Facing this astonishing scene, Shahryar showed a look of inquiry on his face.
Familiar Fusion is a special ability only mastered by Dimitrie. By fusing several low-level familiars, he could unleash power far exceeding their original strength.
Since the information gathered indicated that Dimitrie mostly fused two to three familiars, Shahryar had never taken him seriously. It wasn't until this moment, seeing the powerful strength unleashed after nine familiars fused, that he finally became interested in this ability.
If fusing nine Elder-level familiars could gain power exceeding a Primogenitor, then how strong could fusing nine or even more Primogenitor-level familiars become?
"It has research value." Shahryar made his judgment.
