The Useless 8th Prince

Scarlet Roze City

“Separate the bodies of men and women. While the survivors ... hold them for a while.”

After giving the order, Ciel turned around. The young man went towards the crater where he and Vesperr were fighting. Seeing a spear stuck in the middle of the basin, he could not help but sigh deeply.

As expected of a weapon in that class …

Ciel's approaching soon. After which, he directly held the spear and pulled it. Yet he felt the spear was really very heavy. With his strength now, it was very easy to lift over tens of tons with a single hand, but he had completely failed to lift the spear.

Failing that, Ciel tried to use his energy and put it into the spear. Indeed, he was directly connected to that spear. Merely, when it connected, the dragon soul roared at him and refused to obey.

Blood restriction, huh?

At the moment of thinking that, Ciel's eyes narrowed. Six jet-black wings like ink appeared on the young man's back. His hand muscles stiffened as he forcefully pulled the spear that was stuck on the ground.

“Commune!” Ciel said coldly, plucking the spear from the ground.

Seeing that the dragon soul that was weak enough could not resist it, Ciel raised the spear up high. However, he still felt that the spear was quite heavy and difficult to use. Not to mention, due to using coercion, he and the dragon soul could not be in sync. It will affect the performance in the fight.

Looks like I'll have to find another way.

Ciel muses. Sighing deeply, he ended up storing the spear in a dimensional ring. The young man then returned to the group.

Looking at the corpse that had been separated, Ciel nodded. The young man then took out two dimensional bags and stored the corpses of the Vampires.

Ciel then approached the more than 30 remaining Vampires and made a slave contract with them. After he finished .. he looked quite depressed.

Looking at the wound on his index finger that had recovered, Ciel once again let out a long sigh.

“Thank you for your hard work. For now ... you can go back.” Ciel then turned his attention to Elena. “You will arrange them in the castle, Elena. By the way .. lest the citizens know that I brought the Vampires back. If until the news leaked ..”

Ciel's gaze swept across the entire army, making them nervous. After feeling that those people had understood what to do, the young man nodded. He suddenly realized something. Yes ... he realized that there was still a Vesperr mount, the Shadow Wind Winged Viper.

Seeing the dying figure lying on the edge of the forest with a dying appearance, Ciel immediately walked up to him. Because of his skill, the creature actually had a thin air of existence. Even if the size was very large, no one would notice it.

The Shadow Wind Winged Viper was dying from receiving an impact after its master died. Looking at the creature that was slightly worse than the Abyssal Basilisk, Ciel's eyes gleamed. Despite losing in strength, the creature possessed what the Abyssal Basilisk did not. It was the ability to hide at once fly!

Looking at the giant snake staring at him with an indifferent expression, Ciel raised the corner of his lips.

“Your master is dead. If you want to follow me. I have a way to save you. So choose ... be my pet or be the meat stock for my pet.” Ciel said coldly. There was a slight threat in his words.

Looking at the head of the giant snake that lowered its head in front of him to acknowledge loyalty, Ciel smiled in satisfaction. He then immediately made a contract with the creature. Upon completion, the young man was somewhat shocked because the Shadow Wind Winged Viper turned out to hate its former master, Vesperr.

The creature was forced to become Vesperr's mount. After all, most demons do such things. Rarely does anyone ask for recognition and make them partners. Most just think of them as mounts, attack aids, or even meat shields.

“Good .. You'll be back with people. I'll ask Elena to take you to a new residence. For now, drink this and heal your wounds.” Ciel said as he poured the potion into the mouth of the giant snake.

After the Shadow Wind Winged Viper improved, Ciel immediately went to Elena and handed the rest to the woman. He asked his lover to lead the army to retreat back to the Blackfield Region. While Ciel ...he and Deschia rushed towards Scarlet Roze City.

Three days later.

After passing through many conquered cities, Ciel let out a long sigh upon seeing the condition of Scarlet Roze City.

Landing in front of the city gate, Ciel who was about to enter the city was confronted by many soldiers. The young man narrowed his eyes. Staring at the soldiers, he was ready to attack at any moment.

One of the knights who seemed to be the commander of the troops walked to Ciel's front and saluted.

“Include, my name is Erick, Prince Luciel. Allow me to escort you to meet my master, Duke Raevern.”

Without descending from Deschia's back, Ciel followed Erick's figure towards Scarlet Roze Castle.

In contrast to the cityscape that could be said to be a mess, Ciel could see the Scarlet Roze Castle that was almost intact. Except for the castle gates being destroyed by force, he did not see many parts of the castle being damaged by the fight.

Ciel immediately guessed that Marcus and the people who had taken refuge in the castle escaped with a secret passageway or something. Down from Deschia's back, he follows Erick to enter the castle.

Arriving inside the castle, Ciel could see Duke Raevern who was busy with many suspicious documents. The possibility of the parchment is related to what the Bathory Family has done together with the Curses Of Shadow.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Duke Raevern turned his head towards Ciel. Looking at the young man who had arrived earlier than he expected, the man was somewhat surprised. It seemed quite suspicious whether Ciel was doing well.

“Siang, Duke Raevern.” Ciel gave a polite greeting.

“Siang, Prince Luciel. I didn't expect you to come so early. Problems regarding the Bathory-” Family

“I have completed it.”

Ciel immediately replied as he walked closer to Duke Raevern. The young man then placed the dimensional pouch on the table.

Taking the dimensional pouch, Duke Raevern closed his eyes to check what was inside. Looking at the dozens of corpses of the male Vampires, he was shocked. The man immediately glanced towards Ciel.

“Women?” duke Raevern asked in a deep voice.

“They were hard to dodge and were killed by one of the Generals of the Curses of Shadow.” Ciel lied without batting an eye.

“General from Curses Of Shadow??”

“Iya, his name is Vonda. So like this ..”

Ciel began to tell the matter about Vonda and how the woman killed the soldiers below to regenerate. In addition, Ciel also added a little spice and eliminate the matter against Vesperr.

If the news of him fighting Vesperr leaked out, people would realize that he was not a level 5 (end) demon. That's gonna cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, Ciel decided to hide the matter.

“So so ..” Hearing Ciel's story, Duke Raevern nodded. “For the rest of Vampires. Forget ... you can have it.”

Noticing Duke Raevern's meaningful gaze, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. That guy obviously thinks himself a female collector and chooses to ‘make’ the women of that Vampire race.

“I have something that might interest you, Prince Luciel. Would you like to see it?” duke Raevern asked with an annoying smile.

Is this guy really Savian's father? While his son was so calm and intelligent, why was this fellow so annoying?

Ciel complained in his heart. Sighing for a short breath, he finally nodded lightly. Seeing the positive answer from him, Duke Raevern became even more excited.

Duke Raevern took Ciel to go to the basement. After driving around while introducing the situation, the man finally took Ciel to the main location. Place a tube full of nutritious liquid in it.

At first, Ciel who saw the number of safety systems frowned. But when he saw what was in the middle of the room with his own eyes, the young man was amazed.

‘Shell.’

One word flashed as Ciel looked at what was inside a tube filled with nutrient fluids. His expression was stagnant, completely a bit confused as well as amazed.

Vonda was ...really a crazy genius to the point of being able to make this kind of thing.
