Chapter 269 - The Pureblood Vampyre, Prince Cassius II

A skeleton with blazing golden flames in its eye sockets and a devilishly handsome Vampyre stared at each other for a long time before the Vampyre spoke again.

"Even more Celestial Disciples are in this Infernal Hunt?"

Noah nodded as he thought back to the vigorous back and forth conversation he had been on with this Prince, finally making way after he mentioned his knowledge of the Celestial Disciples that came in through Profound Astral Sect.

"And you won't tell me which organization you come from?"

Noah shook his head as he replied.

"No, I don't see a need for that right now. Though I do have gaps of knowledge on the Celestials that I would love for you to fill in. How did you attack and kill one so confidently without any worry that your identity would not be known with the Celestial's mysterious means?"

Yes! This was one of the reasons why Noah wanted to talk with this being belonging from a power standing against the Celestials. Because not too long ago, while he was watching for the many possible routes his new path would lead, he found himself coming face to face with Celestial Disciples, and he successfully killed them!

Yet, the moment he did, a golden light descended from the skies the moment the disciples lost their life and bound itself to him, a circular golden marking appearing above his head that he would have no way of removing. This golden circle made him believe that it acted as some sort of a marking that was forced onto him the moment the Celestial Disciple faced her death.

He could only make the assumption that the arrival of this many Celestial Disciples into the Infernal Hunt had many underlying reasons, and that unlike the time when he killed Drax, there was somebody scheming behind the scenes. Either they were planning something else and he would unwittingly fall in their plot, or they were more terrifying than he thought and had somehow already begun aiming for him personally.

Thus, he needed more information about the Celestials that even a disciple like Drax would not be privy to. Unless he got his hands on a high ranking Celestial, which was only a pipe dream as they were all insanely powerful, he had to make do with other means. And who else would know more about the Celestials if not their enemies?

The Vampyre Prince looked at Noah briefly before he replied.

"For you to ask me that, you must know the information that Celestials are capable of tracking who they are connected to through fate. My technique, 'Blood World', breaks those types of connections for all that are in it, and I can do whatever I wish without peering eyes. Though it is not as useful if someone is physically near and snooping around."

His last words were directed more towards Noah as a brief silence occurred between them. Noah always kept his unique skill, {Observant}, active at all times. Thus he was privy to many of the things occurring for miles around him. Observing a Vampyre shoot down like a missile and envelop a Celestial Disciple in a bloody world just happened to be one of the things he saw.

He nodded his head as the skeleton facing the Vampyre Prince opened its skeletal jaws.

"Ok, how about we move together? I want to make a move against the Celestial Disciples, but I do not have a way to stop anyone watching from identifying me once any of them fall."

Prince Cassius looked at this skeleton standing atop a humongous bone dragon as his silver hair regained most of its shine.

"What do I have to gain? It doesn't look like you are providing anything for me."

The Prince replied while closely watching this eerie skeleton in front of him. The skeleton tilted its head as it replied.

"Oh did I not mention it? I have seen glimpses of the future, and they do not end so well for you."

What!

A tremor passed through Prince Cassius as he listened to the explosive words, he was about to refute them as he knew of his own power when the skeleton continued speaking.

"You are lucky enough, or in this case unlucky enough to actually run into the most powerful Celestial Disciple in this Infernal Hunt, someone that you might know as Athena."

…!

Prince Cassius's eyes squinted as he stood up from his regal chair made of blood.

"The War Princess is here?!"

"Not just here, you die from her hands as well."

Noah replied curtly as his eyes bore into the devilishly handsome face of the Vampyre Prince. His last words were actually all bullshit, with him having no knowledge of whether the Vampyre Prince would meet Athena or not. The [Insight] ability was powerful, but it did not show him the possibilities of others that he had not even met yet, with most of its focus placed on himself.

Through it, he had been able to see the positions of the Celestial Disciple, as well as the position of Athena. But the terrifying thing was that when it came to Athena, besides her general location, everything involving her was a huge engulfing darkness of nothingness.

This made him extremely careful as he moved with even more scrutiny across the First Realm of Hell, removing himself completely from even the undead legion as he went into the Spiritual Land and later miniaturized it to the size of a grain of sand that an inconspicuous undead was carrying.

He had been sending commands and watching his summon continue to rip apart Infernals as he gained more and more Skill Points that he went on to add to the [Abhorred Lich Emperor] Skill Tree, continuing to reinforce the strength of the Lich as its Undead Legion became more and more powerful, with more variations as now even Undead Blue Phoenixes could be summoned.

He had been moving like this for the past hour, using the Dagger of Time to make more plans for the future when he coincidentally came across the Vampyre Prince who was now looking at him with an interested gaze.

"The War Princess…"

Prince Cassius said the name with an indiscernible meaning as his eyes gained an even bloodier shade, his devilishly handsome face turning towards the skeleton representing Noah as he reached out his pale hands.

"Very few techniques exist that can foretell the future, and even less organizations are privy to them. You have my attention, Little Skeleton. I'll move with you for a bit."

The Skeleton Knight with golden flames in its eye sockets reached out as a handshake was exchanged, confirming the agreement between these two beings as they began to move out.

Noah exchanged more words with the Vampyre Prince as they began moving forward in a particular direction, officially beginning a hunt that was not just aimed at the Infernals.
