Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268 - The Pureblood Vampyre, Prince Cassius

In a Celestial Star quite a distance away from the First Realm of Hell, an old man was sitting down in the middle of a monastery as he enjoyed a cup of tea while looking at five golden glowing pieces of circular stones floating on top of a white board.

Some pieces were bigger than the others, with one being particularly large than the rest floating at the forefront.

The Celestial continued to drink from his cup as a few hours passed, when he finally observed a change as one of the golden pieces floating on the board...became dim and crumbled.

"Oh?"

His gaze seemed to contain interest and a hint of wrath as his fingers moved and collected the remains of the golden stone that were now grey. The remains became absorbed in his hands as he closed his eyes briefly and activated a particular skill, but he was soon disappointed as the results came to be nothing.

"Hmph."

The Celestial Grandmaster was annoyed that his tracing had not worked, his annoyance coming more from the fact that he had lost a piece, and yet he gained nothing from it.

A being had taken the life of one of the Celestial Disciples that he had sent, and this being was careful enough to first isolate the disciple in a different space before they killed them. Thus, the Celestial Grandmaster had lost one of his pieces that he sent forward to try and catch the worms trying to wiggle out of the Order and Balance that they had worked so hard to create.

His gaze became calm again as he looked at the remaining four golden stones floating on the board, quickly bringing the tea cup back in his mind as he fully turned his attention to these four stones, and simply observed once more.

It was only a matter of time before the fly was caught in his net.

---

A devilishly calm Vampyre floated in the azure skies of the First Realm of Hell as he was surrounded by droves of undead all around.

He watched as a single small Skeleton Knight moved out from the groups of undead as its empty sockets filled with golden flames looked up towards him. The Skeleton Knight opened its pristine jaws as it began speaking.

"I-"

BOOM.

Before a single second passed, the Vampyre Prince waved his hand as droplets of blood instantly appeared where the Skeleton Knight was, exploding the entire area as it cleared to reveal only broken bones.

Prince Cassius watched for a response from the surrounding undead as nothing happened, making him sigh as he turned his sight to another location and watched an identical Skeleton Knight move forward from the horde.

The golden flames dancing around the skeletons eye sockets seemed to be having fun as a voice rang out once again.

"As I was saying, I’m just a lowly passerby who happened to see something I wasn’t supposed to see, and now I’m just curious as to the meaning behind it."
