With his body slightly suspended in the air, the Blood Count walked through the dim corridor and slowly lay down in a black coffin.
Vampires hide during the day and come out at night, and [Blood Count] is no exception.
By staying in the shade, he could avoid the risk of being burned by the sun, but Blood Earl was somewhat uncomfortable with activities during the day.
When he had nothing to do during the day, he would basically return to his coffin, close his eyes and have a good rest.
When the island falls into darkness, most of the land in this world is experiencing daytime.
Thinking back to the beginning, it was with this in mind that the [Blood Earl] set up his base here, organized people to build this castle, and set up a barrier to hide the castle.
Counting it all, that happened more than four hundred years ago.
As a vampire with a long lifespan, [Blood Count] personally participated in the last war between humans and demons.
The previous Demon King was initially known for his bloodthirstiness and cruelty. He advocated the use of force and wanted to build a world where the strong were respected.
Because they shared the same interests, the Blood Count took the initiative to follow him.
However, everything changed when he inherited the power of the Demon King.
The original bloodthirsty and brutal demon king no longer exists, replaced by a demon king who is good at management, is always thinking about something, and has become much gentler in temperament.
At that time, the [Blood Count] believed that the Demon King was just hiding his true intentions. There was a difference between ruling and conquering. Appropriate benefits should be given to the weak so that they would work together to maintain the rule.
[The Blood Count] firmly believes that after the plan to attack another world is implemented, the Demon King will reveal his true colors again and build both worlds into the beautiful world of his imagination.
Unfortunately, [Blood Count] never expected that the Demon King would really change his temperament.
After invading this world, the Demon King did not become brutal and bloodthirsty again, nor did he completely ravage the entire world. Instead, he went to great lengths to search for something, as if that was his mission in becoming the Demon King.
[Blood Count] simply could not accept this result and lost his loyalty to the Demon King. He kept looking for the reason why the Demon King became like this, and thought that it was the power of the Demon King that changed the former Demon King.
The brave Laux defeated the king that the Blood Count once loved, and the Blood Count returned to the Demon Realm with the remnants of the Demon King's army.
Because of the death of the Demon King, the Demon Realm has once again become chaotic, with warlords dividing the country.
More than a hundred years after the death of the previous Demon King, a man led his own force to rise suddenly, and within just a few years, he established his own territory.
He soon attracted the attention of warlords from all sides.
The old warlords did not want to see the birth of a new warlord to share a piece of the pie, so they immediately launched a siege on that person.
Faced with the layers of encirclement and suppression from the crowd, the young man used all his skills and performed countless brilliant operations that could be written into textbooks.
However, the young man was no match for the four hands with his two fists and eventually died.
After that, the demon world also entered a brief period of peace. Warlords from all sides lived in peace and harmony, with a tendency for each of them to become their own king.
But they will never be kings on their own.
As long as the power of the Demon King exists, conflicts will never stop. The demon world needs a true king.
The power of the Demon King will not completely disappear because of the death of the previous generation of the Demon King, but will return to the Demon King's altar after hundreds of years.
Only those who inherit the power of the Demon King can become the true Demon King.
The process of inheriting the power of the Demon King is quite complicated. If there is any mistake, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
The only way to ensure that the complicated inheritance process is foolproof is to completely unify the demon world.
More than two hundred years after the death of the previous Demon King, disputes arose again, and the warlords fought each other once again in order to unify the demon world and seize the power of the Demon King.
[Blood Count] did not get involved. On the one hand, he felt that he did not have the strength to unify the demon world at that time; on the other hand, [Blood Count] also wanted to see whether the power of the Demon King could really affect a person's mind.
The Blood Earl rejected all the warlords who came to win him over.
Although he didn't want to become the Demon King himself, the Blood Count was still very interested in who could become the Demon King, and he followed the entire war from beginning to end.
Contrary to the Blood Count's expectations, the one who finally unified the demon world was not the big warlord he had initially focused on, but a rising newcomer.
The rookie looked almost exactly like the one who had been wiped out before, and the same situation of being surrounded and suppressed happened to him again.
Just when the Blood Count thought that tragedy would happen again, the rookie unexpectedly escaped from the encirclement.
Severely injured, he disappeared for a long time. When he reappeared, he had obtained the support of the Snow Girl by marrying her, and also got two powerful generals.
The rookie was swift and decisive, and it took him only a dozen years to unify the demon world.
After everything was settled, he obtained the power of the devil from the devil altar and became a real devil.
Because he voluntarily surrendered with his old subordinates and avoided a lot of unnecessary wars, the [Blood Count] naturally took the position of the Four Heavenly Kings while shirking his responsibilities.
Before the current Demon King inherited the power of the Demon King, [Blood Earl] carefully observed the Demon King and compared him with the Demon King who would inherit the power of the Demon King later.
However, the Demon King is now silent in non-important occasions. The Blood Count can see that he has changed, but he cannot be 100% sure.
The only thing that is certain is that the current Demon King is just like the Demon Kings of the past. He has inherited some will and will most likely go looking for something.
At that time, the [Blood Count] had prepared for the worst. All the demon kings of the past generations would be eroded by the power of the demon king and become slaves of a certain will.
Through the various information that Aslit found, the Blood Count became more convinced that if the power of the Demon King was allowed to continue to exist, the ideal world he longed for would never come.
Toppling the Demon King who is controlled by the Demon King's power is the first step. Completely eliminating the Demon King's power so that no new Demon King will be born, and then promoting the formation of his ideal world, is what the [Blood Count] truly desires.
The Blood Count has thought a lot about the follow-up plans.
No matter which plan is chosen, it is extremely difficult. The Blood Earl has always hoped that there will be a wise and powerful person like him who can come and lend a helping hand.
During the continuous observation, the [Blood Count] took a liking to Yang Yu.
He thought Yang Yu would be a wise man and would temporarily cooperate with him for the common goal of defeating the devil, but Yang Yu actually attacked him.
The monsters guarding the castle are all the confident creations of the [Blood Count]. They are experts in the use of poisons. In such a small environment, Yang Yu and his men will have no way to retreat and will eventually be caught in one fell swoop.
[Blood Count] closed his eyes slightly, intending to take a short nap.
He believed that when he opened his eyes again, he would definitely hear the news that Yang Yu and the others paid the price for their stupidity.
