Drift Of The Multiverse: [Marvel] [Resident Evil] [DC] [Bleach] [DB]-Chapter 219: Alexander Appears on His Own Initiative (BONUS)

Chapter 219 - 219: Alexander Appears on His Own Initiative (BONUS)

After eliminating most of the vampires, Ethan and his group advanced smoothly.

Ethan, having mastered the Holy Light, was simply the bane of these dark creatures. Given that vampires were especially vulnerable to "light," even a basic flash spell could inflict significant damage on them.

Ethan wasn't in a rush to hunt down and kill the remaining hidden vampires one by one. Instead, he captured Kraven, the current manager of the vampire clan.

Kraven was the unlucky guy who had been infatuated with Selene for hundreds of years, only to have his beloved stolen by a human man she'd just met days earlier.

"Why did you capture him?"

Ethan hadn't wasted time with unnecessary words along the way. The moment he encountered a vampire, he'd unleash a blast of light. The vampires hit by it either turned to ash on the spot, or lingered for a few breaths before Ethan ran them through with an energy longsword.

Judging by his actions, he clearly intended to exterminate every vampire he came across. Selene even thought she might be next. Ethan hadn't spared her when he started. If she weren't careful, getting grazed by that strange light would cause her pain too. So she always maintained a safe distance.

She hadn't fled because she still wanted to uncover the truth about her family's death. Before capturing Kraven, Ethan had deliberately asked her where the elders' sleeping chambers were. She knew the truth would be revealed soon—whether it was about her family's murder or Ethan's honesty. freewёbnoνel.com

By now, she was starting to believe Ethan. After all, he hadn't needed her help anymore. She had once suspected he was using her to locate the vampire mansion, but now that they'd arrived and he'd achieved his objective, there was no longer any point in deceiving her.

"This guy is the key to finding the werewolves."

"Werewolves?"

Selene was stunned. Kraven was the top figure in the vampire clan, yet Ethan said he was captured to find werewolves? What did that mean?

Ethan was about to take the half-dead Kraven to the elder chambers when he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, can you extract memories through blood?"

This was a special ability described in the legend of the Underworld—extracting memory fragments from an enemy by drinking their blood.

Ethan looked down at Kraven, whose only value now was helping him find the werewolves. Beyond that, he was useless.

Compared to someone like him, Selene, as a vampire, was far more valuable—especially since she'd already turned against the blood clan.

"Drink his blood. That way you'll not only learn what he's done, but also find out who killed your family."

Kraven was one of the few vampires who knew the truth about Selene's family. From the moment the vampire clan was founded, he'd served as Viktor's deputy and knew most of the clan's secrets.

If it was just about tracking werewolves, Selene might still hesitate. But hearing that Kraven knew the truth left her with no doubts. She grabbed his neck without hesitation.

Ethan watched as Selene's sharp fangs sank into Kraven's throat. His body stiffened, as if a horrifying image had flashed through his mind. He quickly suppressed the thought, forcing the inappropriate image out of his head, and quietly waited for Selene to digest Kraven's memories.

When Selene finally looked up again, her expression was dazed. She stared at the barely-breathing Kraven on the ground, then looked back at Ethan.

"You already knew the truth?"

"Yeah."

Selene's mood seemed to plummet. After all, anyone would be shaken after learning that the one who'd raised and taught them like a father for hundreds of years was actually their greatest enemy.

"What about the werewolves?"

Selene thought for a moment. She had also learned information about the werewolves. Only now did she realize the extent of Kraven's treachery. The man had colluded with the werewolves in his pursuit of power and had even falsely claimed that the werewolf leader, Lucian, had been killed. In reality, Lucian was very much alive, leading his people in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike.

"They're hiding in the city's underground."

The underground of a modern city was practically another world. Its intricate infrastructure provided enough space for entire underground communities. In many major cities, the underground had grown into a sort of hidden metropolis, home to countless homeless people.

In Budapest, the underworld belonged to the werewolves.

"Do you know the exact location and how to get in?"

The underground transit network was a chaotic labyrinth, even more confusing than a maze. Without a guide, it was impossible to navigate correctly. That was why Ethan needed to capture Kraven first, even though he already knew the werewolves were hiding below.

It was all about saving time. He didn't intend to linger in this world much longer. One reason was to conserve space-time energy. The other was that this world held nothing of interest for him aside from the blood of Alexander Corvinus and Michael Corvin.

"I know."

With a confirmed answer, Ethan launched a beam of light, sending the vampire traitor Kraven straight to the afterlife.

What followed was a straightforward and brutal slaughter. Ethan stormed into the elders' sleeping quarters, killing everyone in his path. The vampire deathwalkers were the first to fall. The rest—those who had indulged in decadence for centuries—were no match for him. Many fled in a panic, only to be cut down if they crossed Ethan's path.

Selene noticed her mindset had shifted. At first, she had felt shame and anger at her fellow vampires' cowardice. Then she became numb. Now, after learning the truth, she even felt a strange sense of relief.

Eventually, they arrived at the elders' chambers.

Selene used stored plasma to awaken Viktor and questioned him face-to-face—bidding farewell to the man who had raised her for centuries.

Viktor never saw it coming. Just as he awoke, still disoriented, he arrogantly declared that he would make Ethan his servant. But before he could act, Ethan incinerated him on the spot.

As for Marcus, the progenitor of the vampire race? He didn't even get the chance to wake up. Ethan destroyed him outright. The holy light-infused flames burned Marcus's corpse to ash. Just like that, two of the three vampire elders were eliminated cleanly and decisively.

Ethan wasn't some theatrical fool who would revive Marcus, let him power up, then fight for 800 rounds only to win with a flashy ultimate move. That kind of drama was too much trouble. Simpler was better.

"That's it?"

Michael Corvin had remained silent the whole way, tagging along quietly like a tourist witnessing all sorts of marvels. But looking at the twin flames in the chamber, this wasn't the climax he had expected.

"It's really over?"

The vampire clan had three elders who took turns overseeing the bloodline. While one ruled, the other two slept.

Currently, Amelia—the only female elder—was nearing the end of her term. She wasn't at the mansion. Barring any surprises, she was expected to return in a few days.

Ethan knew he didn't even need to bother with her. The werewolves had already gotten word from Kraven and had set a trap, waiting for her return.

Now, all he had to do was wait for the werewolves to make their move, then eliminate them. He figured that in the meantime, Alexander Corvinus would have sensed the situation and begun to react.

"So, what do we do next?"

"Leave this place."

If it were up to Ethan alone, he might have wiped out the remaining vampires. But he'd changed his mind. Letting a few of them escape would allow word to spread faster and draw out Alexander Corvinus.

What he didn't expect was that Alexander valued the vampire clan more than anticipated. He hadn't even left the manor yet when he realized they were surrounded.

Ethan waited patiently. When the other party didn't attack, the situation became more intriguing. He paused, then waved toward the nearby bushes.

"Since you're not planning to fight, come out and talk. I don't like playing hide-and-seek."

Fully armed soldiers emerged from the bushes and various hiding spots. The man in the lead approached within a few meters of Ethan before stopping.

"My boss wants to see you."

Ethan looked at the soldier and recognized him as one of Alexander Corvinus's close aides.

The appearance of this man meant his other target was finally showing himself.

"Sure."

Since the target had appeared, the werewolves no longer mattered.

Ethan was practical. His goal in killing vampires and werewolves was to lure out Alexander Corvinus. Now that Alexander had come to him, he could prioritize accordingly and stop wasting time and energy.

Best-case scenario? He could accomplish everything in a single day.

The soldiers hadn't expected Ethan to agree so readily. After a moment of stunned silence, one of them signaled the others to proceed. Michael and Selene were also meant to go with them, Alexander wasn't only meeting Ethan.
