Seeking Death?

Adre's language seemed to possess a unique magic, capable of stirring desires within people's hearts. The power of shadow rippled within it, and the Shadow Magic in Adre's hands rose into the air, from which images emerged one after another.

"People trapped in this world, we come from the great Shadow Kingdom, embarking on an expedition to conquer any world we can reach. Are you interested in joining us and witnessing this expedition?"

Adre conjures up landscapes of other worlds, which are transmitted to him by the Thousand-Dimensional Eye, much like promotional videos for the Shadow Kingdom, used to attract other people from various worlds.

The standard configuration of the Shadow Legion is Shadow Perfection. Adre naturally cannot recruit these vampires into the Shadow Legion, but turning them into subordinate legions is not a problem. Anyway, all the talk about witnessing is just a nice-sounding phrase. In short, it's about recruiting cannon fodder.

After all, their battalion only has 1,000 people. No matter how few supernatural powers there are in a world, it would be difficult for 1,000 people to sweep through it. It's not that they don't have enough power, but that they don't have enough manpower.

Therefore, the auxiliary forces must be put on the agenda, and the vampires this time are a good target. They are more suited to Shadow Power, and their power level is not too high, Adre can just handle.

The thousands of vampires were deeply shocked as they watched the scenes from other worlds. The extraordinary powers in these worlds were limited to beings like themselves; even wizards could only unleash magic after casting fireballs. But in the scenes shown by Star Knot, such power could destroy cities, nations, and even stars, profoundly shocking these natives.

The vampire elders were deeply shocked by the scenes they witnessed. If it had been a human or something else extending the invitation, these vampires might have thought it was a prank.

But those two hundred-plus black armored vehicles, and the horrific scene in the American city that had just been reported in intelligence, forced the vampire elder to believe Adre's words. He coldly asked, "You invited us? What can we gain?"

"Power!" Adre manipulated Shadow Magic, gathering the surrounding Shadow Magic, and then placed this spherical ball of Shadow Magic in front of the vampire elder. He opened his arms and said, "This is unclaimed magic. After you absorb it, your life level will be instantly elevated."

"Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to travel to other worlds!" Adre continued, "Look at this world, so small that it only has three sources of power. Your strength is weak and powerless. Only by seeing a wider world can you achieve greater improvement."

"And what awaits you is either joining us or being Destruction!" Adre unleashed all the Shadow Magic on his body, soaring into the sky. The clouds gathered and turned into rolling dark clouds, a sign of misfortune.

The vampire elder looked at the floating ball of Shadow Magic before him, feeling Adre's terrifying power, and took a deep breath. They might have no choice, so the vampire elder reached out to touch the ball of Shadow Magic.

The dark magic sensed its host and surged into his body. This magic combined with the vampire's inherent abilities, constantly transforming him into a semi-shadow creature with vampire characteristics.

Ah De was already a master who had completed the Shadow Transformation and served as the High Priest of the Night Spirit Cult. He was extremely familiar with Shadow Magic, and the Shadow Magic he condensed was of good quality, allowing this vampire elder to directly enter the second and a half level of Shadow Transformation.

Shadow runes appeared on his body, and a pair of bat wings formed from Shadow Magic unfolded from his back. Combat techniques and witchcraft techniques were also transmitted to his mind. After catching his breath slightly and looking confused for a while, the vampire elder clenched his fist and released Shadow Magic mixed with their vampire blood energy.

Dark red energy spread from his hand, condensing into a dark red longsword. He swung the sword, cutting through the air, and the power within it burst forth, carving a long mark on the ground in front of him.

The longsword transformed back into energy and retracted into his body. The vampire elder, filled with fascination, said, "Is this power?"

"I believe you already have the information in your mind. This is only the second and a half level of Shadow Transformation. There are still the third level, Awakening, and Complete Transformation to come," Adre said. "Even after Complete Transformation, you can continue to improve in the Shadow Kingdom with the help of the great Shadow Lord."

With the example of the vampire elders before them, most of the vampires chose to join. However, three vampire elders prepared to escape with their men, but unfortunately, they were stopped by the Shadow Legion, and only a few vampires managed to escape the town.

Many vampires who have received the power of the shadows have been significantly strengthened. Their will still maintains a relatively high degree of autonomy, after all, it's good to show some sincerity before abducting an entire race. However, once they go to the Shadow Kingdom, they will be influenced by the environment and Implantation their faith in the Shadow Lord due to the power they gain.

Once the entire vampire race had been converted, Adre was very excited. Just like that, their battalion had gained thousands more cannon fodder—a cause for celebration! Adre patted the vampire elder who had rushed to surrender and said happily, "Let's go, take us to the Blood Pool. I also want to see what one of the three great sources of power in this world is like."

The vampires who had joined the Shadow Legion naturally had no objections, so more than two hundred armored vehicles, along with several thousand vampires, headed to the Holy Valley behind the town. This Holy Valley was not very large, but with several thousand people standing there, it looked like a sea of people. At the end of the valley, there was a Blood Pool.

The Blood Pool wasn't very large, only about three meters in diameter. The blood on it was churning like boiling water, and a sweet, pungent smell of blood wafted through the valley. There seemed to be some kind of power in the air as well.

Adre squinted, his body transforming into black mist as he emerged from the armor and walked step by step to the Blood Pool. The Shadow Power emanating from his body surged as he plunged his right hand into the Blood Pool.

As soon as it entered, Adre felt a scorching, corrosive force, as if trying to corrode Adre body and convey something to him.

Adre didn't care what the Blood Pool was trying to convey, so Shadow Magic surged into the Blood Pool, trying to corrupt it. Whatever it was, once corrupted and turned to shadow, it became something of the Shadow Kingdom.

It was unclear whether the Shadow Power had touched something, but the Blood Pool began to tremble and the blood kept shaking. Adre gradually sensed that something was wrong, because he felt that in the deepest part of the Blood Pool, a certain will was beginning to manifest.

Just as Adre was pondering, the tremors of the Blood Pool ceased, and a resentful and angry voice rang out. "I have been imprisoned for ten thousand years, and then banished to this remote place. Now you dare to disturb me? You are courting death... You are courting death!"

For a fleeting moment, Adre thought the expedition was about to end.
