I Became the Progenitor Vampire - Chapter 95

Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Domineering and Strong

Upon sighting that figure, the crowd’s faces drastically changed.

“Lord Lide!”

The master of this place had returned.

Lide’s sharp gaze swept over the assembly, silencing nearly two thousand people in the small square with his stare.

No civilian dared to defy an Advanced Mage, particularly one who had just utilized powerful magic.

Tap tap–tap tap–

The dark mage boots stepping on the bluestone pavement made a slight noise, but to the hushed crowd, it was overwhelmingly loud.

Lide completely ignored these powerless civilians and calmly walked towards the little girl.

One step. Another step.

The little girl was curled up, having just been frightened by the sudden explosion.

Seeing the mage approaching in his long robe, it felt like a noose tightening around her neck, the despair almost spilling from her chest.

Was this mage also here to kill her?

Then, a slight smile appeared on her face.

Yes, for a monster like her, surviving till now was already a gift from the Life Goddess.

“Let me return to the embrace of the Death God. Isa is very, very tired.”

The girl strained to open her eyes wide; she wanted to take one last look at this black and white world.

“I am Lide Kachar, the master of Crimson Mage Tower. No one on my territory decides the life or death of others.”

Standing before the frail figure on the ground, Lide repeated his earlier words.

The heat of the magic still lingered in the air, and no one dared to voice any discontent.

After surveying the fearful crowd, he shifted his gaze to the weak girl beside him.

Upon seeing the girl’s red pupils, Lide was slightly taken aback.

Such beautiful eyes.

Her pupils weren’t an unsettling blood-red but glowed warmly like rubies, matching her delicate and beautiful face as if she were a goddess who had stepped out of a two-dimensional world.

Such a girl on Earth might attract numerous followers, especially those homebodies; Lide felt they would go crazy.

However, that wasn’t the key point. Remembering the attribute panel he had seen for this girl, his eyes conveyed a meaning difficult for outsiders to grasp.

Indeed, while sitting at home, fortune comes from the sky.

This time… he had found a treasure.

Bending down, he offered her the gentlest smile and aided the bewildered girl to her feet.

“Can you tell me your name?”

“Isa, Isa,” Isa stammered, her face flush with panic as she clutched her clothes while looking at the mage before her.

“Do you wish to become a Mage Apprentice of Crimson Mage Tower?

I, Lide Kachar, promise with my life to protect you forever.”

Do you wish to become a Mage Apprentice?… I will protect you forever… with my life as my vow…

Boom–

It was as though lightning had struck in Isa’s mind.

A look of disbelief flashed through her ruby-like eyes as she instinctively covered her widened mouth, tears trickling down her pale face.

At that moment, Lide’s smiling, handsome face was etched into the girl’s soul and bloodline.

When the whole world, even herself, had abandoned her, this noble mage had sworn with his life to protect her.

An indescribable warmth surged from her heart, and the formerly gray world was instantly imbued with colors at that moment.

“My lord, she, she might be a vampire; her eyes are red,” muttered the parents of a boy who had just been dismissed, their voices carrying a mix of jealousy and reluctance.

Lide turned his head, his sharp gaze sharper than a falcon’s.

He didn’t make any excuses. With one hand stretched out, under everyone’s gaze, a basketball-sized fireball appeared in his hand a few seconds later.

Big Fireball Skill.

Instantly, the crowd was filled with fear. Shouts and screams caused the scene to become extremely chaotic.

Lide raised his hand, and the fireball flew into the sky, like the sun just rising, dazzling and splendid.

When it reached a height of 100 blades, the fireball exploded with a loud boom.

At that moment, the burst of light was brighter than the sun, and hot waves rolled out fiercely.

Many people in the crowd below had their hair curled in that moment.

Dressed in a white Mage robe, Lide’s tall figure under the full sky of flames looked like a Divine being descending to earth, immensely dignified.

At that moment, the crowd did not make any sound.

The air fell into the silence of death.

The people around looked at Lide with awe; he declared in the most direct way who was the true ruler here.

Turning around, he completely ignored these ignorant civilians and directly picked up the frail girl, walking step by step into the Mage Tower under everyone’s gaze.

The moment he stepped into the Mage Tower, he quietly turned around, his tone filled with immense dignity.

“Miss Isa is a Mage Apprentice blessed by the Magic Goddess. Her beautiful eyes are a thousand times more precious than rubies because that is the manifestation of Magic Condensation to a certain degree.

My protected civilians, do not slander a future talented Mage lightly; you cannot bear this responsibility.

I hereby reiterate once more that Miss Isa, from today onwards, is under my protection and she will be a member of the Crimson Mage Tower.

Anyone with ill intentions towards Miss Isa will be regarded as challenging the Crimson Mage Tower, and I will personally execute them!”

His cold and domineering words filled the crowd with fear, the person who had spoken earlier swiftly turned their head away, not daring to look at Lide, fearing being hanged by this powerful Mage.

The scorching breath still lingered around them.

The information conveyed by Lide’s solemn words dispelled many people’s doubts; those weren’t the eyes of a Devil but the blessings of the Magic Goddess!

The fear and disgust that had been in Isa’s onlookers’ eyes turned into deep envy.

How strong must the talent seen by Lord Lide be?!

Many now regretted not having reached out to save Isa earlier; had they done so, would it have meant forming a friendship with a Mage?

Lide watched the quieted crowd, his expression slightly softened.

“Not only Isa, but the Crimson Mage Tower will also protect all apprentices. Any harmful words or actions against the apprentices will be strictly punished by the Crimson Mage Tower!”

“You should not be so shortsighted; your untested children also might be protected by the Crimson Mage Tower.

As for those of you who have been tested, those who are literate and quick-witted, can apply to join the Golden Wheat Commerce.

In the future, as long as you make sufficient contributions, even those working in the Golden Wheat Commerce will receive my rewards.

I will even select some outstanding individuals from the Golden Wheat Commerce and bestow them with the ability to cast spells, making them high-standing Mages.”

Lide’s words were like a depth charge, immediately releasing any inner discontent among the people, sparking low murmurs.

Being rejected yet still having a chance to become a lofty Mage was undoubtedly exciting for the crowd.

After a slap, a sweet jujube was expertly provided by him.

Isa lay dizzily in Lide’s arms, hearing the domineering words spoken for her, she found herself in a strange state.

That heart which had never received love before was now filled with warmth.

Her body subconsciously drew closer to Lide; she wanted to blend the figure that gave her infinite security into her soul.

Life Goddess, is this the Divine Envoy you sent to save Isa?

Isa was very, very happy…
