In the parlance of another world, in this battle royale with the Demon Realm as its map, vampires survived to the end thanks to their powerful assimilation abilities, turning almost all demons into vampires.
In short, when the forces that rebuilt the order turned their attention to the Demon Realm, it seemed that only Blood Corpse remained in the Demon Realm.
The seven once-powerful Blood Grand Duke have been reduced to mindless, mindless zombies.
After devouring all the alien races, the crazed vampire grand duke, along with his retinue, began another cycle of internal slaughter due to the "blocking" operation of two emerging forces.
Nearly a century of grinding has turned the once Azure Sea into the Floating Corpse Sea. Countless demon corpses are slowly decaying due to the presence of the Demonic Tide, and every wave can stir up a piece of shattered corpse.
But... but... this shouldn't be happening. This is clearly the western side of the Graycast Corridor and the Eternal Domain, so how could Blood Corpse, which should be blocked in the eastern part of the continent, appear here?
Gray desperately tried to recall what he had learned and heard:
Three of the seven crazed vampire grand dukes were sealed away by powerful figures, while the remaining four were trapped in the vast land of the Demon Realm. The Graycast Corridor and the Eternal Domain acted like two guardian deities, protecting this narrow area of the continent from the chaos they caused to the Demon Realm...
The mechanics of the Graycast Corridor have long been plagued by power problems.
Although the energy issues of fixed buildings have been resolved, they now desire energy sources that can provide a stable power supply without needing to be located in one place.
In his moment of utter desperation, a mechanic from decades ago turned his attention to the Blood Corpse among the demon race, who were busy killing every day.
He creatively placed a Blood Corpse on the pedal device, providing it with a minimal food intake, thus successfully turning a monster into a resource.
For this, he was even personally received by the Grand Foundry Master, and people considered him to be the strongest mechanic under the Grand Foundry Master.
With the collective wisdom of many mechanics, the first small mobile fortress was born ten years later.
There were at least fifty fresh Blood Corpse in Gray's fortress at this moment, serving as energy components. These were all valuable items captured alive from the Demon Realm Graycast Corridor.
As they advance on the pedals, a special device scoops up the soil from the ground and delivers it to them via a small conveyor belt. Tiny insects, animals, and even weeds become food for the Blood Corpse, thus maintaining the fortress's continuous operation.
So he understood the logic, but why were there Blood Corpse here?
Having gone through his memories, Gray couldn't find the reason, while the Blood Corpse behind him began to run on all fours.
At this point, the Antasia had already put some distance between itself and the horde of Blood Corpse. Gray estimated the positions of both sides and decided to take a deep, exhilarating reverse maneuver, flooring the accelerator, to show the Blood Corpse what a heavy truck's blind spot was like.
However, as the last rays of the sun disappeared on the horizon, Gray heard more sounds of Blood Corpse.
Behind the gentle slopes around him, in the distant dense forest, in the unknown crater on the wasteland...
One by one, two by two, covering the mountains and plains...
The roars of Blood Corpse echoed from almost every place that could escape the sunlight.
Gray had seen this phenomenon in a book; it was Corpse Tide!
A few hundred Blood Corpse can form a small Corpse Tide powerful enough to overwhelm a normal human settlement, while a large Corpse Tide is a natural Calamity, representing pain and destruction.
The darkness was filled with countless crimson eyes, and the howls of the Blood Corpse of varying heights even caused the Gray Power Components to resonate, making them emit similar sounds.
Although the Blood Corpse will exhibit cannibalism when they are starving, just like wild beasts that attack and eat their own kind, they are also capable of communicating using sound.
Now Gray knew that his Blood Corpse were becoming generous and invigorated by the approach of their own kind.
However, at this moment he had no way out and could only try his best to escape.
Seeing the Blood Corpse closing in behind him, Gray gritted his teeth and slammed down an emergency switch that had never been used before.
The door to a warehouse at the back of the first floor of the small fortress was quickly opened, and the goods inside were thrown out without restraint.
Faced with the choice between money and his life, Gray ultimately chose to live.
Unfortunately, the Blood Corpse were not rational plunderers and wouldn't stop to loot the valuables.
They were unmoved by the lifeless cargo, continuing to relentlessly pursue Gray ahead.
While Gray's fortress successfully accelerated due to the loss of some cargo, it was still no match for the unburdened Blood Corpse.
Seeing that the Blood Corpse behind him showed no sign of retreating, Gray's expression grew increasingly grave.
That "big sale" alone made his entire business trip a complete waste of time.
But losing his life was far worse than working for nothing, so in order to survive, Gray went all out and smashed the other two switches.
With a particularly jarring mechanical vibration, Gray's small mobile fortress abandoned all the goods from this merchant voyage.
Now, besides Gray's personal belongings and some settled payments, all that remains in the fortress are the Blood Corpse components that provide power by pedaling in front.
It's obvious that Gray has lost a lot of money on this trip. At this rate, let alone participating in the election of the Grand Foundry Master, even if he survives, he'll probably have to pay off his debts for decades.
Feeling the vibrations from the power components, Gray couldn't help but admit that he actually quite liked the Blood Corpse, provided that these monsters were simply stepping on the pedals.
The moon began to rise slowly from the horizon, Gray could barely make out how large the horde of monsters was following behind him.
Judging solely from their scarlet eyes, he estimated there were at least a thousand of them.
While abandoning the cargo increased the speed of Gray's fortress, the arrival of night also gave the Blood Corpse more energy, and the distance between the two sides began to slowly narrow.
Just as Gray was feeling utterly hopeless, he suddenly heard a new commotion.
That was the sound of waves crashing against the embankment and breaking apart. Gray realized something: there was a large river in front of him!
As a lower-level type of vampire, Blood Corpse may also be bound by some ancient rules, such as being unable to directly cross a rushing river.
Gray didn't know if this rule still applied after the world went out of control, but even if it didn't, crossing such a river would be no easy feat. He had to seize this perhaps only chance to survive.
