RE:BORN Zombie-Chapter 128 The Beginning of Chaos III

Chapter 128 The Beginning of Chaos III

“Melchior, that energy, was there perhaps a miscalculation in your work?” Asked the vampire lord, the tone of his voice perfectly conveying his emotion at the time. He usually is calm, but for some reason he seemed to be a little pissed off at that moment.

“It seems so my lord.” Melchior responded.

The entire room remained calm, so much so that the machine that seemed to be completely quite before seemed to have started making a particular low noise.

Norze was the one to speak up first breaking the silence. “The good news is, it worked.” He said.𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

“And the bad news is even worse, the portal has been opened elsewhere and is out of our control.” The vampire lord followed.

It would have been a different thing if the machine could be turned off, but that was where the problem came, as it could not. The machine would keep running until it goes off itself, and in that time, the portal that had been opened would remain so, and unmonitored by the vampires, especially since they had called back all their forces.

The good thing was that the device that opened the portal to begin with was estimated to breakdown by itself after ten minutes, and at the time they had only two minutes remaining. On one hand, they had succeeded in their ritual, but in the other hand, the vampires were afraid of something else, or at least they seemed weary of it.

Norze spoke, “It’s starting. Now, bring the body to the altar.” He said.

One of the elders moved and brought the dead body of a vampire to the platform before handing it over to Norze, who then took it and placed it upon the altar.

The blood flowing around the strange markings on the alter began glowing even brighter, more and more, until it stopped glowing and the movement stopped. Then, the blood began climbing the vampires body until it reached the mouth, then it found it’s way into the body through the mouth. A few seconds after that and the body jerked like it had been shocked with electricity.

Following that, the eyes opened, but instead of the eyes of a vampire, it looked different as the eyes were completely black, as though covered by some kind of liquid. The body’s eyes closed back up, and the jerking stopped.

“That is all. It is complete.” Norze said.

The vampire lord on hearing this, squinted his eyes a bit, ever so slightly. Maybe he didn’t really believe what Norze just said. “Why is the body still like that? We made sure to follow everything correctly-” Before the vampire lord went on, Norze stopped him.

“It is complete, don’t worry about it. The next time she wakes up, it will be the ancestor. Instead, we should be preparing the other part accordingly for when she does wake up.” Norze said.

“Ok, that’s a good point. I also want to send some of us to check where the energy we felt earlier came from, something may have happened that we need to know.” The lord said, to which Melchior responded.

“The machine has already broken down and is off commission, so theoretically, the portal should close.” He said, with certain look in his eyes.𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

“I see, so we do need to verify that theory.”

“At the very least, is it somehow manages to stay open, it will only be enough to let an orange through or so.”

“We can’t allow that.” The lord said.

The main reason they were so concerned about this was because the direction in which they felt that the portal may have opened in, using their senses, was also the direction of the city where they get most of their life stock from. They wouldn’t want anything to happen to the humans there. Getting humans from a new city is possible, but getting to that point where hundreds could disappear without any problem was not easy, as they would do so in secret. This of course was not putting in context that there was no other city close by.

..

Victor who was a bit curious about the source of the energy had teleported straight to one of the places he had marked that was also close to City G.

The first thing he noticed was that the energy he felt there was way stronger and more present than it was when he was far away from the city, which, obviously showed that he was closer to the source. Facing the direction where he wanted to go in now, and with the help of the map function in the system, Victor teleported again to the spot farthest away from City G, and closest to City E, and from there, he began running towards the other city.

He had never being there, so getting there was not as easy as teleporting, he had to go there on foot.

At that point, he really wished he had a flying monster in his legion, that way travelling wouldn’t be too hard. He could have taken a craft that was fast of course, but that would take time when he factored in the fact that he had teleported himself closer. If he could teleport things that big with him, that would be a different story.

Victor turned out to be pretty fast, more than he originally thought. Under twenty minutes, he reached City E, and the first thing he saw was absolutely mind blowing.

Since the cities had huge walls surrounding them, he could really see what was inside the city, so he hadn’t expected it. The moment he jumped unto the top of the city walls, Victor saw something completely different from anything he had ever seen in his life, even as a zombie.

“What the fuck is all this?” He said in a cold voice as he looked at the happenings below him.

Right somewhere at the centre of the city was a gate, one that was bigger than anyone he had ever seen. It easily spanned across 40 metres in diameter, but nothing came from it.. or so it seemed.

Close to the huge gate, Victor could see multiple figures engaging themselves in battle, so that was where he headed towards, to see what was going on. He needed no body to tell him that the intruders were still there after all.
