My Favorite Game Followed Me!

Based on the vampire’s expression, Anton knew that the vampire wasn’t expecting the curse to actually kill who it considered as an archmage but Anton was guessing that the monster was hoping that the curse would damage him enough for the vampire to escape.

When Anton entered his consciousness in the vampire’s storage ring, he was surprised at the huge space and the amount of wealth he found. The space was as huge as a house and it was filled with gold coins, magical items like wands, other magical artifacts, and a considerable number of spellbooks.

“Are you really an elder vampire?” Anton suddenly asked the captured vampire after he looked inside the ring.

“Yes and if you let me go, I will make sure that me and any of my progeny will not go after you or yours and I will use a blood oath to do so,” the vampire said.

Based on what the vampire had said about the blood oath, it assumed that Anton would know what it was so he asked directly what the blood oath was.

The vampire looked surprised when Anton asked what the oath was.

“It’s magic that beings that revolve around blood could cast. If the oath was violated even accidentally. The caster and those related to the oath, in my case my progenies, would be destroyed.”

“Okay cast it now then.”

The vampire hesitated at first since Anton didn’t mention casting an oath himself like letting the vampire go but after a few seconds, the vampire muttered a deep incantation and he saw some sort of blood magic enveloped the vampire then the blood magic spread outward. Anton asked the vampire what was the magic that spread outward and it replied that it was the magic that would destroy any of his progenies if Anton and any of his family were attacked by the vampire or his progenies.

Anton then continued asking the vampire what the Undead Coalition's plan was and he was surprised to learn that it was very straightforward. Disregarding the minute details, the Undead wanted to conquer all of the lands and the grand liches council wanted all of the land under them. They would allow most to remain as human but they would become slaves of the undead and those who rose as elite undead would become the first class citizens.

At first, Anton thought of allowing the vampire to remain with him and the caravan but it was truly dangerous to have someone as powerful as an elder vampire to remain beside them even with its so-called blood oath. He then thought of directly destroying the vampire but then again, he didn’t know what the vampire’s blood oath would do to him and his family so after a few minutes of consideration, he covered the vampire’s whole body including its eyes with telekinetic force and left.

Once Anton was out of range, the telekinetic hold on the vampire would be released and then the vampire could go to where it wanted to go. The vampire did say that it would not be able to return to the Undead Coalition since it knew that once he returned, it would be destroyed by the liches for sharing any of the Undead Coalition plans with him even though in reality, the vampire didn’t share much, just general knowledge due to the fact that Anton was ignorant or simply didn’t care about the questions that he was supposed to ask the vampire.

Anton knew that he was being shallow in becoming so happy in receiving that elder vampire’s storage ring and he wasn’t afraid that any of the vampire’s items would be cursed since any curses on the monster’s items were already dispelled by his Prayer aura.

He knew that he should have killed the vampire but Anton was truly wary of the vampire’s blood oath although he didn’t provide anything to the vampire, like blood or anything of himself, he still didn’t know enough of the magic of this world to have the confidence to defend himself against such unknown things. Anton immediately transferred all of the spellbooks and magical items to his private stash since he would need to examine them first the he let the gold and other ordinary treasure remain in the ring.

To make sure that there were no lingering curses on the ring that may harm his father since he was planning to give the ring to Anders, Anton put the ring in his inventory so his Diablo II system could identify it and based on the identification of his Diablo II system which he didn’t doubt, the ring was huge storage ring filled with gold coins and other normal treasure and nothing else.

The sun was already setting when Anton arrived at the place where the caravan set up camp. The campsite was huge since a lot of the villagers were with them. The villagers planned to join them until they arrived at the wizard city of Zalnothel even though most were still arriving late due to the fact that some villagers were traveling on foot.

Since Anton didn’t turn off the special effects of his buff and auras, he was very visible when he approached the campsite. The villagers who didn’t know who he was were frightened but since the caravan people were calm and somebody spread that he was the archmage guarding the caravan, the people calmed down.

Anton could see the relief on his father and sister’s faces and Anna even had tears in her eyes. he flew down, turned off the special effect of his buffs and auras, and approached his father and sister, and then both of them hugged him fiercely.

Anders kept muttering that he was so glad that Anton was back and Anna just kept on crying and even her maids had tears in their eyes.

The table where dinner was served was set up by someone and Anton, his father, Anna and her maids, Nemina, Lucas, Devon, Lunelle, Frederick, the three captains of the guard, which were Genod, Budolf, Kudar, and Anton’s assistant, Colin sat around it.

“I managed to make the undead army retreat but the three liches were very powerful and their spells almost killed me,” Anders honestly told his father.

His father suddenly looked very angry and Anna cried harder. Anton was a bit regretful for sharing that part but he needed to make sure that everyone on the table would know how powerful the undead army was.

“When the battle started, the three liches cast some sort of magic barrier that protected the undead inside it, and after I destroyed about fifty undead minions, the undead army hunkered under the liches' magic barrier. I almost cracked their magic barrier then the three liches had to sacrifice half of their life force in their phylactery that caused massive damage to me but since my healing spells are very powerful, I was able to heal myself immediately and since I kept casting massive magical damage to their barrier, the liches and their army started retreating. I managed to capture an Elder Vampire though and after a round of torture, the vampire informed me that they had conquered and turned the citizens of Mendi and Vondi into undead,” Anton said.

This statement caused Anna to cry harder and even Nemina and Lunelle started crying since they had relatives from those places. Lucas and Devon had red eyes and they were suddenly emitting fierce auras. Even Anders was truly angry.
