The Accidental Vampire

"Atlan was here. That formation seems like it was made to keep someone trapped here." He tossed the arrow at the formation, realizing what took place here.

"Yovana was the one who attacked Lilith." As he talked, he tore a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the wound of Lilith, which was already slowly healing.

"Why would she do that? I thought we were on the same side. We were here to help her. Why would she betray us?"

Lancaster still couldn\'t come to terms with it. He didn\'t expect Yovana to be able to do something like this. The girl had been so friendly with them, especially Lilith. How could she stab her in the back?

"It must be because of her father. If Atlan asked her to kill Lilith, she wouldn\'t have said no." He tried to make sense of the situation, no matter how hard it was.

Atlas only shook his head in response. "Lilith would have taken precautions if Atlan had asked Yovana to do it. She wouldn\'t have risked her safety, no matter how much she trusted. Lilith was attacked in surprise. Most probably, she didn\'t even know that Yovana had arrived."

After tightly tying the piece of cloth, he picked up the unconscious Lilith. "She didn\'t get swayed to do it. She was already planning to do it from the start. As for why, maybe Lilith will be able to answer."

Seeing Lilith like that, Atlas had almost lost hope. He couldn\'t help but remember the past where another girl was lying on the ground, unmoving. Fortunately, Lilith was breathing and seemed to have a handle on things.

"What do we do now?" Lancaster glanced at the pale-faced Lilith. "Yovana couldn\'t have gotten far. Should I try to find her?"

"I don\'t think it would be easy to find her. And she has Atlan with her as well. Even if you find her, you\'ll be in trouble. And I can\'t leave Lilith in this condition."

"So we\'re just going to let her escape after she did all this? We might never be able to find her like this."

"Don\'t worry. We will find her." Atlas walked through the silent corridor, carrying Lilith in his arms. Only his footsteps could be heard in the silence.

"How? How can you be so confident? Yovana has an entire world before her. She can go anywhere, and it\'ll be impossible to find her." Lancaster still didn\'t understand why Atlas could be so calm, not going after Yovana.

Even though it was risky, it was their only chance of catching Lilith, no matter how small. After today, that chance was going to be almost non-existent.

"We will find her as soon as Lilith wakes up," Atlas answered. "Her safety is more important at the moment, with all the commotion outside."

"As for finding Yovana, it\'s easy. As long as Yovana carries that pendant, she can never get out of our grasp. She made the worst mistake of her life by backstabbing us."

"Her pendant? What about it?"

As soon as Lancaster asked a question, they heard more steps coming toward them.

"Hold the answer. I\'ll be right back."

Lancaster ran ahead. Atlas didn\'t stop walking, but the sound of his footsteps was buried under the screams of guards from France Clan.

Lancaster walked back. "So where were we? Yeah, the pendant. How will that help us find her?"

"You know how Yovana forced us to promise last time that we would help her?"

"You mean by using that Teleportation spell and her threat of escaping?"

"Yeah. Lilith took some precautions against that. The time she took the pendant from Lilith to observe it, she left a small trace on the pendant that couldn\'t be wiped. Even Yovana doesn\'t know about that. And even if she did, she can\'t just toss the pendant since it\'s her most precious item which keeps her in control."

"That pendant will lead us to her. No matter how far she runs, we will find her... And Atlan. Let her run... Let her run as far as she can. She will soon know the consequences of what she did."

Without a single obstruction in their path, Atlas came out of the Castle, only to realize that the battle was still going on. He could hear the noises coming from the mist.

However, from the voices, he was able to decipher a few things. Almost all the Franc Clan Members were dead, leaving only the Zhang.

"Hahaha, And here I thought you would be stronger! You are pathetic! Much weaker than I expected!

Zhang was laughing like a mad man, mocking Lucius. However, his voice also contained a tinge of anger.

It was evident he was trying to hide his anger and his embarrassment through his laughter. He had lost almost all his men in such a short time, leaving him all alone. And so far, they hadn\'t harmed Lucius either. Whatever harm came to his body was healed immediately, thanks to his superior healing.

"Lancaster took Lilith back to the carriage. Stay with her and leave this place. I\'ll meet you back at the hotel we stayed at last night."

Atlas handed over Lilith to Lancaster.

"You aren\'t coming?" Lancaster inquired. "They were done here for now. What more could there be to do?"

"I still have something to do. But I can handle that alone. You should go. Find a doctor in the town and get him to help Lilith. The faster she is healed, the better."

After speaking, Atlas walked inside the blinding mist, disappearing from the sight of Lancaster.

Lancaster had no choice but to do as he was told. Lilith was hurt and needed medical help. Moreover, even if he wanted, he couldn\'t get inside the mist as that could put Lilith at even more risk.

Trusting that Atlas could take care of his own safety, he turned around and left, disappearing from the sight.

He dashed through the soft grass, going back to where the carriages were standing. However, the one that belonged to them was missing.

"Yovana!" Lancaster couldn\'t help but shake his head, realizing that Yovana even took their Carriage. Fortunately, more carriages had arrived here since it was supposed to be a celebration.

Lancaster walked to the nearest Carriage. He opened the door and placed Lilith carefully on the seat inside.

"Hey, what are you doing? This is the Carriage of the Duke! You can\'t enter! Get out!"

The carriage driver came to stop him, noticing strangers entering the carriage. However, his face turned pale as he saw Lancaster call out his claws.

"Take us back to the nearest town! If you don\'t, I\'ll take another Carriage, but you won\'t be alive to see it anymore!"

The driver gulped down heavily.
