Modern World Warlock-Chapter 199: Vampires’ Reinforcements

Right after Madeline was forced out of the warehouse by Zac's attack, the vampire sentinel used a gemstone to cast a spell, producing a white mist that summoned three of her vampire siblings to the scene.

Irina appeared first, rushing towards Madeline and asking if she was okay with a worried expression.

"I'm fine… I just need a moment to heal up," Madeline said.

"Laurent, Claudia… Be careful with those guys," she continued.

Irina turned to look at the warehouse, where they could hear the sounds of the battle between Megan and Balthazar brewing inside.

Initially, Irina believed that her big brother Balthazar would be enough to complete the job, as he was the only elder vampire of the clan.

Laurent and Claudia were the next in line, as they were a vampire lord and lady, respectively, so they were more powerful than the sentinels.

Irina, Ezekiel, and Madeline were the only three vampire sentinels, and Irina wasn't meant to be part of the assassination mission since she had been compromised with the Jade Dragons already.

However, the fact that she had been summoned as reinforcements made her believe that Megan and her group were stronger than she ever expected.

Laurent inquired if the warlock was also inside, and Madeline denied it, explaining that it was another man with a baseball bat, which left the vampire lord a bit perplexed.

Suddenly, their scheming was interrupted as Ezekiel was forcefully pushed out of the warehouse, rolling on the ground and landing in front of his older siblings.

When Zac stepped outside to check on the two sentinels with his baseball bat resting on his shoulder, he nervously stopped when he noticed there were five vampires instead of two.

"Uhhh… You guys wanna talk this out?" Zac asked with an awkward tone. Still, he knew his words had no weight as he felt the killing intent coming from the vampire group.

In the blink of an eye, Laurent had appeared before Zac and tried to claw his face, but the redhead reacted quickly and avoided it by whipping his head back.

Still, Claudia, the vampire lady, followed it up with a kick that the redhead couldn't evade, hitting him in the chest and flinging him back inside the warehouse.

The five vampires ran inside, only to find Megan and Balthazar exchanging attacks that were almost too quick for the vampires to discern.

Irina recognized Megan and thought about attacking her from behind, but she hesitated after remembering how the brunette treated her when she was a hostage.

She didn't know if it was her pride as a vampire that made her feel that way, but she didn't want to interfere with Megan's fight.

As Balthazar and Megan clashed their attacks, they were both pushed back and regained distance from each other, with Megan skidding right next to Zac.

"I didn't think I would see you again this soon…" Megan said to Irina, who stood slightly behind her siblings.

"Shut up! It's not personal, okay?" Irina replied.

"You guys keep saying that, but it does feel pretty personal, you know?" Zac commented.

After Megan and Zac were teleported out of the Jade Palace, Dante quickly went to the briefing room to tell Camille of the events.

The warlock believed that if both of them had been summoned using the shards, he would surely get summoned, too. However, after a few minutes, he suspected their opponents were trying to separate him from the rest.

Camille called Trinity and gave Dante an earpiece to speak to her—and the hacker explained that she could locate Megan and Zac as she was tracking their phones.

When the hacker looked up their location, she noticed that they were both in the same place, prompting Dante to cast his "Wings of the Fallen" spell and fly away toward the abandoned warehouse.

While flying, Dante asked Trinity if she could see other people near Megan and Zac, but the hacker said that she could only see their location, giving him a brief explanation of how a GPS worked.

"Well, can you track other phones?" Dante asked.

"Who are you looking for?" The hacker replied with a question.

The warlock elaborated and said that the only people who had a soul shard linked to them were the teenagers—Lina, Tommy, and Jake—so Dante wanted to know if they were also present.

Fortunately, since the three teenagers had to stay with the Jade Dragons for a few days during the war with the Blood Dragons, they had all of their information available, making Trinity's work easier.

When the hacker looked up their phones to track their locations, she confirmed that the teenagers were in the same area as Megan and Zac.

["How would the kidnappers know about your soul shards, though…?"] Trinity asked on Dante's earpiece.

"I'm not sure… Even if they were people from this world, the whole concept of the soul shard shouldn't be easy to comprehend without a little guidance," Dante replied.

["So, the culprits are from Terra, like you…"] Trinity deduced.

"Most likely… Hopefully, it's the vampires," Dante continued, confusing the hacker, as she couldn't understand why he was rooting for the enemies to be vampires.

The warlock explained that, while vampires could be scary, they were also quite intelligent, so it wasn't impossible to talk and negotiate with them.

After encountering the vampires that tried to kidnap the idol, Kim Mi-Yun, he could tell that they didn't have a lot of motivation to complete their task.

["So, do you think that since they show little interest in their kidnapping, you can negotiate with them?"] Trinity inquired.

"Yes. If Kim Mi-Yun were somehow important to the vampires, they wouldn't have let her go so easily…" Dante commented.

However, the vampire clan ended up caring more about their missing sentinel than completing their job, so Dante was certain that he could come to an agreement with them.

["Hurry up—You are close!"] Trinity said, guiding the warlock on the last stretch leading to the abandoned warehouse.
