I Reincarnated As An Immortal Bat Into Another World - Chapter 2 - 2 - The Past

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 – The Past

“I think I cannot tell you the truth. The tower is interfering with us. But you will find out the truth one day. To do that, you need to become stronger… stronger than me. If you believe in me, allow me to bite your neck to transfer one of my innate skills, which will aid you in gaining immortality and power you have never imagined, power to become God,” the Vampire Lord explained, his voice carrying a mix of urgency and sincerity. He was in his last breath, his words strained and fading, his life force becoming weaker and weaker as he struggled to convey this crucial information.

“Do you take me for a fool? Am I to believe the words of a mere vampire? One who wreaked havoc upon humanity? I stand as humanity’s last hope and will not be ensnared by your schemes,” Bong declared, his voice firm and resolute.

“I may not understand the full extent of why Tower interfering, but I will not be swayed by your treacherous schemes. I have battled numerous vampires and uncovered the weaknesses to defeat Vampire. If you have any thoughts of survival, dismiss them. You will not succeed,” Bong asserted, his resolve unyielding.

“Alas! You are right. How can you believe someone who has been the cause of humanity’s destruction? If that’s what you believe, then let me reveal the truth to you. I can share with you my memories of the past,” the Vampire Lord admitted, acknowledging the weight of his past actions.

“Mnemosyne’s Echo,” the Vampire Lord chanted, casting the spell to reveal his memories to Bong.

As the spell took effect, a cascade of vivid memories flowed from the Vampire Lord’s mind into Bong’s consciousness, unveiling a deeper understanding of his past and the truth behind his actions.

The memory unfolded, revealing the Vampire Lord with his wife and their one-year-old baby. The infant lay peacefully in a crib, while the couple stood side by side, hands intertwined, gazing at their child with eyes filled with love and tenderness. The scene was set in a beautifully adorned room within a grand castle. Guards and maids were stationed outside the room, a testament to the importance and care bestowed upon their little family. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

The baby was truly a sight to behold, with striking features that revealed his dual heritage. His eyes glowed with a vibrant red hue, inheriting the trait from his mother, the Queen of Vampires. His teeth were slightly pointed, a characteristic he shared with her as well. Yet, his golden hair, a trait inherited from his father, the King of Dragons, contrasted magnificently against his unique appearance, blending their legacies into one beautiful being.

“I have a feeling our baby will be as powerful as you and grow to become a great Dragon King like you, My beloved honey, ” The Dragon King’s wife said with a soft smile, her voice filled with hope and pride for their child’s potential.

“Indeed, ha ha! Obviously, he’s our son, inherited his power from both of us, my queen,” The Dragon King responded with a hearty laugh, his words reflecting his confidence and joy in their shared lineage.

While they were sharing the happiness and conversation about their baby son, a sudden knock on the door disrupted their moment. A guard had arrived, bearing urgent news regarding affairs within the kingdom.

“Who dares to interrupt me?” The Dragon King exclaimed in anger, his voice laced with frustration at the untimely interruption.

“Forgiveness, My Lord. A war has broken out in our dragon kingdom, led by the Hero of humanity and…” The guard began, delivering the urgent news while bowing respectfully before the Dragon King.

“And? Speak the entire truth!” The Dragon King exclaimed with a mix of anger and authority befitting his position as a ruler.

“And it is also being led by your own brothers, My Lord,” The guard added, revealing the complete extent of the situation with a sense of gravity while bowing respectfully before the Dragon King..

The memories of the Vampire Lord faded away and He had witnessed the tragic and complex past of the Vampire Lord, a story woven with threads of love and betrayal.

“I understand the pain that has weighed on you the most-the betrayal from your loved ones, the curse of immortality you’ve carried for eternity. I believe I now comprehend your suffering. It’s the agony of losing everyone you care for, your son. Unable to die, unable to truly live, unable to forget the painful memories of the past,” Bong attempted to explain his realization to the Vampire Lord, his eyes welling with tears and his face expressing the sadness. His heart ached with empathy for the tragic past of the Vampire Lord.

“If your transformation had been completed as both a Vampire and a Dragon, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat you,” Bong acknowledged, realizing the potential that lay within the Vampire Lord’s unique dual heritage.

But he was interrupted. The Vampire Lord, aware that his time was limited and his last breaths were slipping away, immediately he bit Bong’s neck, transferring his innate skill to him. It was a swift and desperate act, ensuring that his legacy would be passed on even as he faced his final moments.

“Aggghhh…” Bong yelled out in agony as the pain of the Vampire Lord’s bite surged through his body. His body underwent a transformation, his blood beginning to mutate as a result of the transfer. He coughed up blood, his body wracked with the intense and chaotic changes taking place within him.

Suddenly, a beam of light pierced through the roof of the tower, descending directly onto Bong. It was clear that the tower was attempting to interrupt the skill transfer from the Vampire Lord to Bong, possibly trying to prevent the transfer from taking place.

“Draconis Tempus Reversus et Portare,” the Vampire Lord uttered as he saw the attack directed towards Bong. He utilized his remaining life force to cast the mysterious spell. As a result, a portal opened behind Bong, and he was swiftly drawn into it.

“Remember me in your memory. My name is Lysander Drakonov. I hope our meeting in your next life will be a pleasant one. If you succeed in your mission, you could prevent the destruction of this world. But remember, no one will remember you as the last hope of humanity then, ” The Vampire Lord spoke to Bong. In his final moments, a broad smile graced his face, tears welled in his eyes, and he offered a gesture of farewell with his hand, conveying his emotions of happiness and bidding a final goodbye.
