Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 25: The Smell of Sulfur and Fire

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roy decided to have a look at the vampire castle because he was curious.

He had some impression of the Van Helsing movie. After all, the appearance of werewolves, vampires, and Frankenstein was a little beyond comprehension. Most importantly, Hugh Jackman was in it, deepening the impression.

But after all, a long time had passed, and Roy could not remember the content too clearly. He vaguely recalled that the vampire Dracula was quite a poor thing. He was infertile and could not have children, so he began to seek scientific cures. This later led to the story unfolding.

What Dracula wanted to do was none of Roy’s business, and Roy did not intend to get involved either. His focus was on Lucius transforming his soul into a high-quality one. However, he was curious and wanted to see what kind of creature the vampire Dracula really was.

Roy came from the Abyss of the Demon World. Although the bloodlines of low-rank demons were complicated, resulting in all forms and sizes, Roy did not recall seeing a low-rank demon similar to a vampire.

Moreover, according to Lucius, Dracula had been in existence for around four hundred years. If he were truly a demon from the Abyss, then it was absolutely impossible for him to have stayed in this world for such a long time without a contractor. Therefore, Roy was certain that Dracula was not a demon.

Now, Roy was curious. If Dracula isn’t a demon, then what is he? If he really signed a contract with a demon and then turned into a vampire, then how did the demon do it?

Roy felt that it was necessary to understand some of the means of demons because he might be summoned into other worlds in the future and face the various wishes of the summoners. If he had to consume souls in the system in order to satisfy them, it would be a loss for him.

And the only way to understand what the demon had done to Dracula was to ask the person himself...

As Roy flew through the dark moonless night sky, the small town of Transylvania below was plunged into chaos.

One of Dracula’s vampire brides came out for food. For the past hundreds of years, these vampires had been coming out occasionally, and the townsmen should have been accustomed to their appearances. But in fact, no one wanted to be the one caught, so the appearance of the vampire threw them into a huge mess. They hid their children, then the women, and finally the men. The attacks were typically short-lived. After hiding the women and the children, the men most often found themselves unable to hide in time, so they attempted to hide behind one another.

They would rather sacrifice others than themselves. Based on their experiences, if the vampire was looking to eat on the spot, then it would be full after sucking the blood of two people. If the vampire wanted to enjoy the food back at the castle, then one vampire could only capture two people at a time. As such, when a vampire bride came out to forage for food alone, there would be few casualties. What the people had to do was to ensure that they were not one of those casualties.

Although it sounded cruel, it was also for this reason that the people had not been wiped out by the vampires. The vampires held them in captivity and did kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.

This time, the vampire bride that came out foraging decided to bring her food back to the castle. She hovered above the town and laughed at the panicked people below. When she had enough fun, she swooped down and used her claws to catch a vagrant man before returning to the sky and flying back to the castle.

But what the vampire bride did not notice was that Roy was right above her and looking down at her.

After transforming into a vampire, this vampire bride looked exceptionally ugly. Her skin was so pale it was almost blue, and those unsightly wings made her look neither human nor bat-like.

Higher in the sky, Roy tailed the vampire bride leisurely, and they soon arrived at the castle.

The vampire bride landed with her prey, while Roy waited a while before landing.

This quaint castle looked old and had traces of collapse everywhere. Thick moss covered the castle’s bricks and crevices. It seemed like the owner had no intention of renovating the castle.

There were no guards outside the castle, so Roy entered the passages easily.

However, when he entered the castle, Roy found a stark contrast between the interior and exterior of the castle. The castle was brilliantly lit, and a hall was covered with luxurious carpets and extravagant European chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. A band with violins and an organ was playing melodious music. In the hall were men and women dressed in magnificent clothes, shuttling back and forth.

There’s a ball going on in the castle?

Roy climbed onto the dome of the room, hid in the dark, and looked at the crowd below. These men and women were chattering away happily with a glass of fresh red ‘wine’ in their hands. Roy smelled the pungent stench of blood from all these wine glasses. He suddenly understood that everyone was a vampire, and what they were holding was not wine but blood!

There are so many vampires?

Seems like Dracula’s bite has transformed quite the number of vampires...

Roy found the vampire bride that went out foraging for food among the crowd. She seemed to prefer fresh blood, and the man she caught did not die after she fed on him but instead looked weak. He was brought away by other vampires, possibly to be kept as a blood slave.

It’s likely there are many blood slaves like him. Otherwise, it would be unbearable for Dracula to support so many vampire subordinates...

Roy thought Dracula would also attend the ball and started searching in the crowd for him. But after observing for a while, he did not see Dracula among them. Just as he was a little disappointed and wanted to look at other places in the castle, the doors of the hall swung open with a bang!

The one who entered was the black-haired Count Dracula, but inconsistent with his aristocratic status was his appearance. He looked disheveled. His sleeves were in a mess, and his collar was unbuttoned. The way he entered the hall was rough, and he even broke the two doors of the hall. Behind him were his two other brides following him, and the expression on the faces looked dazed.

The vampires, who were at the ball, looked at Dracula in dismay, not understanding what was going on.

Dracula ignored them, and his eyes swept across the crowd, twitching his nose while searching. He said in a low voice, “I smell sulfur and fire. This smell... only a true demon from Hell will smell like this!”

The vampires stared at one another, not daring to breathe a single word.

Finally, Dracula looked up at the top of the hall and shouted, “Get out! Demon! I know you’re there!”

Oops, was I discovered?

Roy did not expect Dracula’s nose to be so sensitive. He could only leave the shadows and loosen his claws to jump down.

Roy landed with a loud thud, and the entire hall trembled slightly. His appearance frightened the vampires in the room. These vampires, including Dracula’s three brides, had never seen a real demon before. They quickly retreated in horror, leaving Dracula standing in front of Roy.

The moment Dracula saw Roy, he looked shocked, and his eyes widened.

It’s really a demon! This demonic aura is the same as that one so many years ago...
