SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Little Red

"How did a mortal awakener come in possession of a high-grade talisman? How did he manage to escape right in front of us? This is completely unacceptable!"

The priest's voice echoed through the cathedral ruins like thunder, each word laced with divine fury. His staff slammed into the stone with a crack that sent spiderweb fractures racing across the marble floor.

None of the enforcers dared to respond. The scent of burning blood still lingered in the air. The altar stones were scorched black, and the sacred runes were flickering erratically as if the very magic in the cathedral had been violated. Because it had.

The priest's molten silver eyes swept across the room. "Do you even understand what that was? That wasn't a mortal awakening. That was a bloodline reclamation. An ancient one. Primordial, possibly cursed. And it happened in our pool."

One of the junior enforcers, pale and visibly shaking, stepped forward. "W-we couldn't trace the destination of the teleport, Sir. The signature was... masked. Someone cloaked it immediately. That man could be anywhere.

Before the priest could respond to that, another man came running. "Sir, something is terribly wrong with the Cathedral Waters."

The priest glared back at the idiot spouting the obvious.

The man hurriedly explained. "Not just our Cathedral. All the Cathedrals in the Kingdom have been drained completely. There is no blessed water left in the pools. Every single Awakening Pool has gone dry!"

Gasps spread like wildfire through the room. Even the stern-faced enforcers, trained for divine combat and unfazed by horrors, gasped at this news.

The priest froze, staff clutched tight in his hand. "What did you just say?"

"I've confirmed with the High Chapels of Vehrin, Altharos, and Dawnspire," the messenger continued breathlessly. "It happened at the exact same moment. Their pools were completely drained. Not evaporated, not corrupted. Just... emptied."

Shock and dread filled the eyes of the priest. "He drained them? He... that boy... drained all of them?"

Everyone stood silently not knowing what to do now.

"Find him." The priest finally spoke up, his voice bellowing. "I want every teleportation gate, every resurrection shrine, every rogue bloodmage circle within five hundred miles locked down. I want his name and his soul. If there's even a trace of that awakening energy left behind... track it."

He turned away and mumbled in a low voice that no one could hear. "Because if that bloodling is allowed to awaken completely... this entire continent will burn."
