SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Oops

Damon’s entire family who should have technically been in a safe zone collecting reputation points for the soul strength quest were now in prison behind bars. Lola was the only one who managed to run away, that too only long enough for her to send a message to Damon.

Damon could see that her name was already greyed out which could only mean that she was also now arrested and thrown into a prison cell.

The world around Damon seemed to blur as his mind absorbed the blow from all directions. Everything seemed to be escalating fast as off a sudden.

One second there was a moment of peace after they faced that demon and somehow survived the encounter and now things were sprialling out of his control once again.

First Kate and Mark. Then Sylvara and the black pool. And now... Lola, and the rest of his family. Taken. All at once. Systematically. Precisely.

This wasn’t chaos. This was orchestration.

Damon’s breath left his lungs in a slow, deliberate exhale. Every emotion, rage, fear, confusion, boiled into a single, terrifying stillness. The kind of silence that comes before an avalanche. The kind that only monsters mastered.

They were going after everyone close to him.

His crimson eyes glowed faintly, like twin suns eclipsed by blood. It was no longer about defending, or retaliating, or even proving something. No. Someone had chosen war. And they thought they were playing a strategy game.

Fine. Let them play.

He was going to show them what it meant to wage war with someone who had lived two lives.

This was not the real world. This was within the fucking game and if someone was fucking with him, then he was going to fuck right back with them.

Damon instantly shadow-stepped and got out of the blood hall. However, the moment he did his face instantly changed as he could sense a strong aura of divinity and holy light in all directions. Simple players couldn’t possibly possess an aura like this. It had to be NPCs.

Damon only needed one second to confirm it. The streets of Niera were completely flooded with not players but dozens and dozens of NPCs, every single one of them with divine or holy affinity. This was not a normal attack. This was a fucking purification raid.

Right on time, Damon received the notification.

[Ding! New Quest activated]

[Ding! Defend the sanctuary during the purification raid]

[Ding! Time Remaining: 59:59 minutes]

And just like that, the timer started counting down.

Behind Damon, Lucien laughed coldly. "Oops. Did I trigger the purification raid at an inconvenient time? I am sorry, my bad. You seemed so confident that you would be able to face the situation so I figured why wait? Hmmm? Maybe if you had been more upset that a reward had been stolen right from under your nose, things would have gone better for you."

The ground quaked, and a tremor of ancient power surged into the sky like a beacon. Crimson banners unfurled from its jagged towers, flapping despite the still air, and a low, resonant heartbeat echoed through the city. A heart of blood.

Varnyx’s voice thundered from within the rising spire, amplified by the hall’s core magic: "Children of the night, defenders of the old blood, the time has come to cast off our chains! Niera will drown in red skies before we yield this sanctuary!"

This was the truth behind the purification raid and the second blood hall progress quest. This quest was basically a city siege quest.

If the purification raid failed, then the city would essentially be theirs. If the purification raid succeeded, then the entire blood hall would be destroyed and no vampires would be able to roam freely in the entire zone, including a few neighbouring cities.

Moreover, all the vampires sired in this base would receive a massive debuff. which they would have to work their asses off to get rid. The entire thing was ridiculously one-sided with the chance of failure extremely high.

This was exactly the reason why Damon had not yet touched this quest with a ten foot pole and yet today his hand had been forced.

Even as Damon watched the scene unfolding in front of him, his crimson eyes narrowed, a new message popped up in front of him. It was from Meira. freewebnoveℓ.com
