My Vampire System novel Chapter 575

Chapter 575 The seventh blood ritual

On the new land, a landscape that could be seen once one climbed halfway up the mountain. Blip was seen huffing and panting, he was on his knees gasping for air, covered with wounds and his wings wholly scorched.

In front of him was the long-awaited crystal they had been fighting for. Depending on what type of beast it was, most of their bodies would remain until the land naturally decomposed them. Although they seemed to deteriorate quickly once the crystal had been extracted.

The beast they had been fighting was an elemental type. Once they were beaten, their body would cease to exist, leaving just the crystal in its place and that crystal was the very thing Blip was looking at now.

It should have been a joyous occasion for them all, he should have been smiling. It wasn’t every day, one would get an Emporer tier beast crystal. Even he had only ever faced one before this one, but he couldn’t celebrate.

How could he, when on this mission, one of his people had died. Lying on the floor, Mitchell was there, his glasses broken, and an inconsolable sobbing was coming from Megan. Nate had made it out alive, but he too felt like he couldn’t celebrate.

This was his first time taking on an emperor tier beast, and he didn’t wish to do it again anytime soon.

"The others." Blip said. "I need to know what happened to the others?"

"Linda was with them, right?" Nate said. "There shouldn’t be a problem then." In Nate’s head, he was also thinking that because Quinn was there as well. They definitely shouldn’t have had any problems dealing with two king tiers. He would have taken that over one emperor tier any day.

"No, the other beast, it wasn’t a king tier but an emperor tier as well!" Nate replied. "Hello, Linda, Linda, reply!" But there was no answer. Changing the frequency, he started to speak out to all teams.

"Please, give an update on the current situation," Blip asked desperately.

Nate had never seen him like this. Even when fighting the emperor tier, he seemed calm, uncaring, but now he was more panicked than ever. He was a man who cared about his sister more than anything.

"Report coming in." A voice was heard. "The teams are already returning back to the shelter, as ordered by Linda. She has remained behind with a few of the others. We don’t know what happened to her."

"You abandoned her!" Blip shouted. He opened his mouth and was ready to curse at them all for leaving her behind, but Nate had placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Look what happened to us," Nate replied. "They wouldn’t have been able to do anything."

Hearing something reasonable from someone who was usually very unreasonable allowed Blip to think a lot clearer. In the end, it was the best decision to make, to save the most amount of lives possible.

This was a tragic day for them. Blip couldn’t imagine how many people they might have lost today.

"We have to go help them." Blip said, standing on his two feet, he soldiered on through the pain, even though one of his legs was badly injured.

"What are you crazy!" Megan shouted. "We barely survived this, and you want us to go fight another emperor tier beast?" Once again, she started to break down, looking at Mitchell’s body.

"When does it stop!" She cried. "Why can’t it go back to how the Crow’s used to be."

Blip had no answer for Megan’s cries and just remained silent. He knew what she meant. The Graylash family put a tremendous amount of pressure on their faction to deliver the crystals. Threatening and blackmailing them. Now they were more reliant than ever for their protection, and they used that to their advantage.

It caused a rush in their actions. If they were the old Crow’s, they wouldn’t have tried facing such a beast until they were ready, or maybe they would have even spent more time doing research. A mistake in grading a tier beast wouldn’t have happened.

No one was at fault, they were all pushed too much to do their jobs.

"You guys head back to the base. Take Mitchell’s body." Blip said. "You have done enough for today."

"Are you going?" Nate asked.

"Of course, she’s my sister. I need to at least try saving her." Blip replied.

"I’m going with you. I have someone I want to see is okay as well." Due to Nate’s ability out of all of them, he had actually come out the battle the least damaged. If worse came to worst and Linda was already dead, then Nate could carry the body out and back to the shelter.

He was also now even more worried. If they had struggled against an emperor tier this much, then what about the others? Even with Quinn, the Blood Evolver, he would find it a struggle.
