Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

\'If there is a real vampire that runs away to this place, then this class system isn\'t weird.

Edonia also had a similar one, but it was more complicated with multiple classes and so many factions.

The leader was Alucard, the progenitor. Under him was the Crimson Court, followed by many clans and houses.

Only the strongest could enter the court.

Alucard was quite open about this—he didn\'t care about anyone\'s background. This made the court separate into a few factions: the purists and non-purists.

The non-purists were even more divided depending on their origin. But that\'s not important right now.

What I know is that pure vampires are separated into five classes; Newborn, Bloodling, Nightkeeper, Eclipsar, and Eternal.

Vesa said the class is based on age and the life force they have. But one thing\'s for sure, even a Bloodling could give Immortal a run for their money.\'

\'What do you mean by that?\' MingYue asked, unfamiliar with Alex\'s idiom.

\'Basically, a Bloodling could squash an Immortal like a bug.\'

\'That\'s crazy!

This is our first hunt, and we\'re already facing something like this? Did Vesa screw us over?\' MingYue asked.

\'She chose based on distance and probability. I guess we\'re just having some bad luck.\'

\'Alex, I think we should bail.\'

MingYue began to have second thoughts about their mission. Based on the enemy\'s strength level, they were facing something far stronger, out of their league.

Even if they could succeed, at what cost?

One of the first things she learned as a cultivator was never to go for a fight you can\'t win.

\'I understand your worry, MingYue, but we can\'t bail before trying.\'

Compared to MingYue, Alex\'s experience made him want to try everything before giving up. He still regretted many things.

Even though he wasn\'t as strong as his sister, he could still train and become more useful. Things would probably have gone differently that way.

Who knows, maybe his father would escape. Despite the slim possibility, it was still there.

\'What do you propose then? Fighting it out isn\'t an option. And for something this important, I\'m sure he keeps it with him all the time.

Alex, if last time he was a Bloodling, I doubt he\'s still one now.

Did Vesa give any more information on that class? There must be a big reason they\'re separated like that, like cultivation realms.\'

\'I only know some Newborn, as the name implies, means those that just became full-blood vampires.

Some spend a long time at this stage. Others don\'t.

Only those who master all their vampire abilities become Bloodlines. I did hear from Vesa that there\'s a time limit for this.\'

\'Why?\'

\'I asked Vesa that, but she\'s always tight-lipped about Edonia. I only managed to gather these details after making many guesses and gauging her reaction.

Vesa does tell me it doesn\'t matter for us since we are Progenitor.\'

\'That makes things worse, Alex. Are you sure we should try this?\' MingYue asked. At this point they are barely count as newborn.

Alex turned his gaze toward Elvira, his eyes glinting with determination.

\'I need this, MingYue. If you\'re afraid, you don\'t need to join.

It\'ll be safer for both of us that way. You know, as long as one of us survives, the other can revived.\'

MingYue\'s eyes turned cold, and she felt the urge to hit Alex on the head. She meant for them to approach things carefully, but somehow, he phrased it as if she didn\'t want to do this.

\'That\'s not what I meant!

Fine, let\'s do it your way. But if things get worse, we\'re escaping!

Remember, Alex, you still have people who need you out there.\'

Alex nodded in response. He needed strength to rescue his father.

After his dungeon dive in the labyrinth, he had an idea of what needed to be done to bring them back. In the worst-case scenario, he\'d have to start a war in that secret realm and give a middle finger to whoever was managing the dungeon.

\'Elvira, tell me, who do you think we are?\' Alex asked, baiting her to reveal more information.

By asking this way, she\'d try to guess and blurt out the situation involving the Sovereign. She wouldn\'t have time to suspect Alex and MingYue.

In reality, even if Alex asked directly, she wouldn\'t dare to think like that. Just like the elves feared the Sovereign, so did Elvira.

\'Sir, you are the Sovereign.\'

\'That wasn\'t my question. You should know what I mean.\'

\'Sir must belong to Alucard\'s faction. You discovered a shipment of Vitae owned by Vladmir, so you decided to hijack it for personal purposes.\'

She paused for a moment before adding, \'Look, sir, I\'m prepared to do whatever you want as long as you leave my family out of this. Just mark me as yours.\'

This confused Alex; he had an idea of what she meant but wasn\'t sure.

MingYue looked at Alex, curious about his next move.

They didn\'t know how to mark people as theirs, but she guessed it was similar to making a half-vampire.

Alex then focused on Elvira, observing her every movement and gesture. At the same time, he calculated every possibility, choosing the best one for him.

His lips twisted into a cold grin as his crimson eyes glinted with killing intent.

\'Elvira, who do you think you are? Are you trying to trap a Sovereign?

You\'re already marked by those ungrateful Vladmir. If I mark you as mine, he\'ll find out quickly.

You\'ll just blame your helplessness on the situation and get out of this scot-free!\'

Elvira turned her gaze elsewhere, not daring to meet Alex\'s eyes as fear began to dominate her mind.

She\'d said that intentionally to anger Alex.

What he said was true. Her backer would find out everything.

When Alex communicated with MingYue, she also thought through many scenarios and came to a dreadful decision: it\'s better for her to die here.
