The Accidental Vampire

“No buts. I really thought about it a lot. It’s a good plan to gather forces and fight a war of attrition, but that isn’t the ideal option. That should be a backup plan even if it’s one! The primary plan should always be the one which deals with them directly with as little loss as possible.”

Instead of listening to Lilith for now, Atlas had made up his mind. He didn’t want to have his advantage go to waste. He was the only Progenitor who could use spells to hide his aura. Moreover, it was even easier since his aura wasn’t entirely as overwhelming as Castiel’s aura which could be sensed even when he used Shroud.

This was an advantage which Castiel wasn’t going to get. If he wasted his last week, this advantage was going to be gone forever and he would regret not helping others.

Castiel had helped him a lot. He didn’t want to owe Castiel anything in his death. He wanted to be free of all the burden even in his death, especially the burden of favour. This way, he could return all the favours.

By helping Castiel get rid of his biggest problem, he was going to return the favour. This wasn’t just returning the favour for Castiel, but for others as well. Lancaster had helped him a lot in this life. Lilith was the same. By doing this, he was helping everyone and not just Castiel.

Since his death was inevitable, he didn’t want it to be for nothing. What better way to die than after winning a war? What better way to leave an impact on this world than to forever protect it?

Moreover, if there was a next life, he wanted to have this world be the perfect place so he could get some semblance of peace in his next life which he always craved for in this life.

“This is the plan that I’ve made, and I won’t be changing this,” he declared, seeing the concern in others’ eyes. “Am I clear? Are you all with me, or are you all against me?”

He was basically suggesting going all alone to fight. Still, Vor could see that the plan had some merit. Moreover, if anyone could pull this off, it was Castiel. He supported Atlas, still believing that he was Castiel.

As for Lancaster, no one even needed to ask him, since his faith in Atlas was very high as well. He had seen Atlas achieve the impossible many times in his life and this could be one of them. Moreover he was right as well. In any case, they needed to fight all the enemies.

Instead of being surrounded by thousands why not take the war to the hundreds who were at the core of it to defeat them?

Both Vor and Lancaster supported Atlas. Lilith was silent for a moment, but ultimately even she could only agree. She could see the determination in Atlas’ eyes that he wasn’t going to give up this plan now that he had come up with one which he thought was perfect.

Luna was the only one who was against this plan, since she knew just what kind of enemy they were against. She had seen Castiel fight. She also saw her brother fight. That’s why she knew that it wasn’t as easy as Atlas was assuming.

Unfortunately her vote was useless as there were three votes which were in favour of Atlas.

“That’s much better. So, the first thing is that we need to locate where the Prince is. Lilith, do you have any spell that can help us with that?”

“I might have one,” Lilith nodded. “Fortunately, we also have everything we need to cast that spell.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Luna. “Generally, it would’ve been impossible to cover the entire world to locate someone, but if the person we are looking for is her brother, it’s slightly easier. We can use her blood which is similar to her brother’s blood.”

“Through the link, I should be able to locate the rough location of her brother.”

“That’s perfect then. That means we should have that location anytime we wish. In a day, we’ll be inside the village. Cast the spell and find me the destination. From there, I’ll go alone. You all will stay behind, creating the army which we need for our backup plan.”

“You’re forgetting something, aren’t you?” Lilith asked. “It will be good if her brother is nearby, but what if he is literally on the other end of the world? You only have a week or so. Can you get there before your time is up?”

It was only now that Atlas also realized this problem. He couldn’t reach the other end of the world in seven days. The Empire army was covering the entire world now and Luna’s brother could be anywhere.

“That’s true. I didn’t think about that. But that doesn’t matter. If he’s on the other end of the world, we just need to get there. Didn’t you have some teleportation Spell?”

“Through your spell, you should be able to reach the witches on the other end of the world, or at least near that place. I’m sure Witches are spread out throughout. Create a portal formation between these two places like one was created between the Franc Clan and the Kingdom of Wolves.”

As he had read the entire Grimoire of Lilith, he also knew about some of her spells. He remembered that one such spell was her spell which allowed her to link to any Witch and talk with them.

That was also what she was going to use to contact other Witch Clans. She could use the same spell to contact witches from other parts of the world and have them create the link portal formation that connects to their village. With that, Atlas was sure he could get there much faster.

At most, he could be there in two days and then one more day to get to the Prince. In other words, he was still going to have three or more days to take that man hostage and end this war! It was a complicated plan but it was one which he believed was going to work.
