Chapter 768: Persuading the Vampire Lords

Back in the imperial capital, the Fifth Progenitor and Eighth Progenitor watched the dimensional opening after Vaan drew Abaddon away. They were tasked with keeping the rest of the vampires from invading.

Naturally, since there were only two of them, stopping more than two other Vampire Lords was impossible for them, let alone seven.

As such, they had to rely on soft tactics to buy time.

Several minutes passed without a single vampire sighted from the opening atop the slanted black pillar. The Fifth Progenitor and Eighth Progenitor started feeling relieved; they didn't need to confront the other Vampire Lords and could take it easy.

However, they rejoiced a tad too early.

At that moment, the shadow of a Vampire Lord finally emerged from the opening, followed by several more a few breaths later.
