YM778.TV Chapter 141 141: Both
Zhang waited for the invited guest that decided to grace his place.
"Now that he decided to show up here, I will make sure he doesn\'t leave."
Zhang was so confident about having an easy time here that there wasn\'t a single frown on his face. The Franc Clan members stood behind him, each at five meters of distance from each other, creating an arc around him.
The aura kept getting closer and closer. Soon Zhang was actually able to see the man.
A young man was walking slowly, seemingly not in any hurry. His face remained expressionless as he glanced at Zhang in the distance.
Lucius had never seen Zhang before, but it wasn\'t hard for him to locate him in the crowd. He was the strongest person here.
Similarly, Zhang had never seen Lucius before, but he had heard the description of Lucius before. The young man arriving toward him appeared to have similar features.
He appeared to be a teenager who had a height of five feet ten inches only. He had beautiful silver hair and golden pupils that were visible even from a distance.
Lucius stopped barely five meters away from him, observing his surroundings. He could see that the mages had started surrounding him. He could also feel a strange energy rising in the surrounding, coming from the earth.
"Progenitor Lucius, I suppose?" Zhang asked. "I wonder if it\'s my lucky day to see you arrive here. First Atlan, then you, and next Castiel. I\'ll have all three."
There was a bright grin on his lips as he talked. "It looks like you selected the right time to wake up from your slumber."
Lucius\'s lifeless eyes gazed at Zhang. He didn\'t say anything. Instead, he glanced at the castle behind him.
"Oh right, how could I forget to introduce myself? I am Zhang, the Head of the Franc Clan! And soon, I\'ll be your master!"
"My master?" Lucius finally opened his lips, letting out a few words.
His voice... It was so melodious that it could hypnotize an ordinary person without him having to do anything. However, everyone here was a mage, further boosted by the Ancestral Lands. Even the melodious voice didn\'t affect them. It wasn\'t as if Lucius was intending that either.
"Even your Ancestors wouldn\'t dare to talk to me like that." Lucius frowned. "It seems the Franc Clan has forgotten its place after we went to slumber."
"Forgot our place? Hahahaha!" Zhang burst into an uncontrollable burst of laughter. "Let alone forgetting our place; it\'s just now that we\'ve realized our place! And do you know where our place is?"
Even though Zhang asked a question, he didn\'t even wait for Lucius to answer as he spoke again. "Our place is on the peak of this world with all the Vampires under us!"
"Our place is as the ruler of this land! And your place? It\'s at our feet, and I\'ll make sure you come to your rightful place."
Zhang talked with such great confidence that if any stranger were here, they really would\'ve thought that he was taking to a slave or a weakling.
His words had also managed to slightly irritate Lucius. Watching an insect talk like that to him was irritating. He felt like killing that insect and attaining the peace of mind.
He slowly started raising his hand. Lucius wasn\'t the kind of person who wasted his time talking about how he was going to kill someone. He just did it.
As soon as his hand raised to the sky, a beautiful golden formation circle started appearing above his head.
However, at the same time, another powerful aura arrived. Feeling that aura, even Lucius was distracted. The formation circle that was taking shape above his head disappeared.
"Castiel?" He frowned.
It had been a really long time since he had last seen Castiel. In fact, Castiel was the first person amongst them to go to sleep. No one knew where he went to sleep. He just abruptly disappeared. No matter how much they tried to find Castiel, it was all for naught.
Moreover, it wasn\'t as if their last interaction with Castiel was pleasant. Lucius still remembered how bad things had become at that time.
"Another?" The one who was affected the worst was Zhang. He was prepared to handle one Progenitor but two? And even if he could handle two Progenitors, he knew that wasn\'t all his problems since Castiel was more than just a Progenitor. He was also a mage. Not only that, he was accompanied by Lilith.
So, in essence, he wasn\'t just fighting two Progenitors now. He was fighting two Progenitors and a Witch who wasn\'t much weaker than a Progenitor, even if she wasn\'t at her peak like before. And there was also a small chance that the Royal Blood Wolf was part of his team.
The enemies of his just multiplied suddenly.
"Go and activate the Formation. Send a message to the Werewolves. Tell them that we are attacked by two Progenitors and Lilith. Tell them to come fast. Even if we hold back Castiel and Lucius, Lilith is the more sneaky one. If she frees Atlan, we won\'t have just two Progenitors to deal with. We would have three..."
"Tell Razil to come as fast as he can. And tell everyone in the clan to be more alert. Lilith is sneaky. Stay alert and increase the defense of the Castle, especially the Prison!"
Zhang finally couldn\'t take more risks. At the moment, making sure that Atlan wasn\'t free was their biggest responsibility. If they failed in that, even their Ancestral land couldn\'t make things easier for them.
*****
It was finally seven! It was time for Lancaster to enter.
He also crossed the red line, running through the plain grass, alert. He was expecting to be attacked. However, even as he ran for a long time, there was no one here to stop him. He was also as surprised as Atlas was initially.
Not long after, Yovana also crossed the red line, having her bow and arrows ready. As an archer, she was more alert and more careful as she entered.
****
Even after spreading his aura, no one came to stop him. No one came to attack him, even though Atlas was ready. He kept moving closer and closer to the Castle, dashing as fast as he could. However, no matter what, he didn\'t see anyone.
It was only when he reached near the castle that he saw a group of people. On one side, he saw Zhang and the other mages. While on the other side, he saw a white-cloaked man. Since the man\'s back was facing him, he couldn\'t see him.
The man slowly glanced back.
