The Evolution of the Weakest Ghoul

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: A successful Play

The Mayor and the rest inched closer and closer to the city as, behind him, the soldiers like Commander Peci and the rest were filled with joy and anticipation.

They couldn’t wait to see their families, their wives, children, brothers...

They left home with thoughts of not even making it back and seeing their loved ones. They had accepted that they would die on the front line, but who knew the Empire would make such a move, greatly helping them defeat the Orc tribe they were in a war with? And now, for a period of time, they could sit back and relax at home.

Having a great time with their families and enjoying life.

Soon, they could see the walls of the city in the distance, their joy evident as they quickened their pace.

Only at the front, with the Mayor and the experts, they felt an unease as they looked at the city.

With this distance, they should have been hearing the sounds of kids playing and people talking, yet nothing.

Also, the weather today seemed strange. The sun was nowhere to be seen as only dark clouds filled the sky.

It was only when they were just a few hundred meters away that everyone’s expressions changed.

No guards... nothing at the gate. Also, no one was even visiting or entering the city.

Boom!...

A loud sound could be heard as everyone looked up to see a streak of red coming down towards them.

Bang!

It landed just a few meters from the Mayor as his expression changed.

”Basha...”

The Mayor walked closer as he spoke, as the Sovereign Realm experts came out one after the other to see Basha on the ground, his body covered in his own blood, his face mashed almost together, and his breath weak.

He spat out blood as he tried to breathe.

”Vam...”

”Vampires...” Basha finished as he lost consciousness.

Bom!

At this moment, space seemed to wrap around the Mayor as he broke through the sky, and below, he could see a half-destroyed city.

Two women who were in the same position as Ronan, their breaths weak, as he saw more than five Sovereign Realm vampires with a leading Three-Star Vampire and more than one hundred Blood Servants beside them.

These were all the noble members.

What actually happened? How did vampires get into this city?

Why is it quiet?

Why is Basha and his team this injured?

No, above all that... what actually happened to his daughter?

Space seemed to boil as the ground started trembling. Small rocks broke from the ground and levitated as a terrifying aura appeared.

The Mayor was furious. It didn’t take much thought to know the vampires had attacked when he left the city, and looking at the decapitated corpses of his people in this city and the dried blood...

It seemed a great feast had happened, one that only a Vampire Lord could pull off.

His body trembled over and over, then...

Bang!

The ground within a thousand kilometers sank a few inches as he sighed.

Below was a giant palm etched into the ground for several meters.

All the vampires, from the Three-Star to the nobles, were turned into meat paste as the Mayor landed and walked towards Hesa and Yen.

Right now, Ronan had fainted, so only the two could answer him.

”Tell me... everything that happened in detail,” the Mayor said coldly.

---

Basha, or Ronan, woke up to see Peci above him.

”Ah...” Ronan jumped up in fear. What the hell? He looked at Peci smiling at him.

”You are finally awake,” Peci spoke as Ronan felt goosebumps.

What does he mean, finally awake? Could it be...

Ronan looked down at himself. His clothes had been changed.

Fuck.

Ronan took a deep, sharp breath as he looked at Peci coldly, whose smile froze.

Wait, what was happening? Why did his heart jump, and what was this pressure?

Was Ronan already at the Sovereign Realm?

”Did you take advantage of me?” Ronan said as Peci blinked.

Wait, what?

”Idiot, you were injured. They had to dress your wounds,” Peci spoke as Ronan coughed.

It seemed that he had immersed himself into the ”play” too deeply. But then, it was not over.

”Wait, what happened to the vampires... and that witch?”

Peci raised an eyebrow.

After they arrived at the city, the army suddenly seemed to have lost all their years as they collapsed onto the ground.

Their families, some were seen, others not, but one end was assured: they were broken.

They went into the war front thinking they could protect those at home, die for them, but when they returned alive, those they thought they would protect were dead.

Gone and erased forever.

Tears fell from these men who had given their all to the military, and more so, the Mayor.

He had actually gone to the Abyss to confront the Vampire Lord there.

There was only one Vampire Lord that was the closest to them, and it matched what Hesa and Yen said. She, the female Vampire Lord, suddenly attacked, killing this huge amount of people as she prepared for breakthrough while her servants were left behind, and Ronan and the rest tried to survive as they were played with.

Now, with Ronan waking up and talking about her... it seemed she really tormented him.

”It is okay... don’t worry. The Mayor already went after her.”

”Although we lost our loved ones... the vampires who did this would all suffer. Their blood will be spilled. That I can promise.” Peci placed his palm around Ronan’s shoulders as he reassured him.

At this moment, Ronan’s mind was at ease. It seemed the women performed well. This was good. As for what Peci said...

What would be his expression if he realized the person he was comforting was the one who did all this and framed the Vampire Lord?

Ronan felt excited about that thought, but it quickly left his mind as he went back to the Vampire Lord.

Earlier, you chased him when he entered the Abyss, and now he brought the Mayor to you.

Ronan wondered how their little chat would go.

This was the beginning of his own revenge against her.

But that aside, this was a successful play, and he could keep his alias.

”Wait, Basha... how are you already at the fifth star of the Sovereign Realm?”

Peci asked as Ronan’s face fell
