The Strongest True Ancestor in This World

Last night, when Nero met Arcueid, that's how he addressed the princess.

"The vampire's executioner."

Yes.

The vampire's executioner.

This is the meaning of Arcueid's existence.

As mentioned before, there are two types of vampires in this world.

One type is the natural-born vampire, the True Ancestor.

One type is a reincarnated vampire, Dead Apostle.

The True Ancestor are formed from natural crystals, originating from nature just like other living beings. Unlike humans or other creatures, they do not need to absorb nutrients to sustain life. Furthermore, their vitality, regenerative abilities, and even combat power are higher than those of other creatures. They even possess immortality. Therefore, the True Ancestor can almost be considered the most perfect creatures in the world.

However, even such a creature has only one flaw.

That's the urge to suck blood.

Just like the Seven Nights Clan's urge to exorcise demons, the True Ancestor also possesses an uncontrollable urge to drink blood.

When this bloodsucking urge takes hold, it causes the True Ancestor to completely lose their minds and attack humans in order to draw blood.

In light of this, driven by an uncontrollable urge to drink blood, the True Ancestor split into two factions and adopted different approaches.

One faction consists of True Ancestor who do not wish to succumb to the urge to drink blood and become mindless beasts.

The True Ancestor of this sect usually choose to use their own power to suppress the urge to suck blood, which causes their power to drop significantly. When they can no longer suppress the urge to suck blood, they usually choose to go into a deep sleep and imprison themselves in a coffin.

Another group is completely unrestrained, or perhaps they couldn't resist the temptation and chose to fall, becoming fallen True Ancestor controlled by their vampiric impulses.

The True Ancestor of this faction either attack humans indiscriminately when their vampiric urges flare up, or they prepare blood bags in advance, taking away humans capable of producing blood as provisions, ready to consume their blood at any time.

Thus, the Dead Apostle were born.

The original Dead Apostle were humans who were reborn as vampires after being drained of their blood by the True Ancestor.

However, the Dead Apostle are not as perfect as the True Ancestor. Their immortality is not complete, and they need to drink human blood to maintain their bodies.

Humans who are given blood by Dead Apostle also have a chance of becoming vampires.

Thus, the True Ancestor, who became completely addicted after drinking blood, found his blood-drinking urges even harder to suppress than before, and could only keep drinking blood, turning humans into Dead Apostle one by one.

The Dead Apostle, driven by their own survival needs, then turn humans into Dead Apostle by drinking blood.

The ultimate result was an abnormal surge in the number of Dead Apostle.

Under such circumstances, those True Ancestor who restrained their bloodlust and did not fall into depravity felt a sense of crisis about the situation, believing that the fallen True Ancestor and the ever-increasing number of Dead Apostle would eventually pose a threat and persecute them.

Thus, Arcueid was born.

Arcueid is a weapon specifically designed by the True Ancestor to annihilate corrupt True Ancestor and inferior Dead Apostle.

Because Arcueid possesses power far exceeding that of the True Ancestor.

Even those True Ancestor who chose to fall, who no longer needed to use power to control their bloodsucking impulses, and who unleashed power capable of altering the terrain without restraint, Arcueid certainly had the strength to annihilate them.

Therefore, Arcueid was revered as a princess by the True Ancestor and given the title of royalty, but in reality, she was merely a simple weapon of annihilation.

However, Arcueid possesses immense power, which is an indisputable fact.

According to Fang Li, if Arcueid were to go all out and unleash all her power, her combat strength would qualify her to be among the strongest in this world.

Third Level?

No.

Arcueid at full power would most likely be a Second Level being.

In the industry, this is even how people describe Arcueid.

"Give this Bai Ji enough time, and it's only a matter of time before she destroys a continent."

This is Arcueid's power.

This princess was even able to reverse her death and be resurrected simply by relying on her own power after being Mystic Eyes of Death Perception of Death Perception.

It's easy to imagine how powerful Arcueid is.

Arcueid, whose aim was to annihilate the True Ancestor and Dead Apostle, became the vampire's executioner.

Eight hundred years ago, Arcueid destroyed all the fallen True Ancestor, and even wiped out most of the Dead Apostle. His achievements even surpassed those of the Holy Church, which aimed to hunt down heretics.

He came to this city out of his own mission and some personal grudges, intending to punish the vampires who were running rampant in the shadows of this city.

As for Nero, he was merely an assassin sent to hunt down Arcueid.

After all, Arcueid is the executioner of vampires, and her power is feared by all vampires. Many Dead Apostle regard her as a great enemy and want to get rid of her.

As a result, Nero pursued them, just in time to find Arcueid weakened after being killed once.

This is why Arcueid came to Misaki City to deal with the vampires there, and also why Nero chased Arcueid here.

However, explaining these things to Tohno Shiki would probably only confuse him.

Therefore, Fang Li explained it this way.

"Humans can kill each other, so why can't vampires kill each other?"

One sentence left Tohno Shiki speechless on the spot.

Arcueid, meanwhile, continued biting into her bread while secretly glancing at Fang Li and Tohno Shiki, uttering indistinct sounds.

"However, I never expected that there would be two monsters hidden here. The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are something that has never appeared among the True Ancestor and the Dead Apostle. Yet here are two people who possess these eyes, and both of them are human. Humans are indeed a race blessed by the world."

As she said this, Arcueid looked at Fang Li.

"Especially you, not only do you possess those eyes, but your combat power is also high enough to rival the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostle. For our race, which relies on immortality, you are simply a nightmare."

"If the church knew of your existence, they would do everything in their power to bring you back and train you to be the best agent."

"If the Mage's Association knew you existed, they would definitely come to take your eyes."

"If the guy who killed me over there is a monster, then you are the monster among monsters."

"Even I don't want to be your enemy anymore."

After saying that, Arcueid choked on the last bite of bread, reached out, and suddenly grabbed Fang Li and Tohno Shiki.

"Come keep me company for a bit."

After leaving those words, Arcueid walked away.

"Hello..."

"Wait..."

Fang Li and Tohno Shiki didn't even have time to utter a sound before Arcueid dragged them away.
