MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Vampire God
chapter-40

Severus waited by the entrance to the lab as many grumpy old men descended from the Battleships.

Leading the grumpy old men was Severus's cousin and the current favourite candidate to be made matriarch after the current patriarch died.

" My lovely cousin, it's a pleasure to see you ". Severus said with a pout on his face as he extended both his arms, looking for a hug and a kiss.

Needless to say, all that he got was a tight slap across his face that resounded throughout the planet as Grisha said " As shameless as ever, Severus, It's annoying to see you haven't changed one bit ".

Grisha was a beautiful and noble vampire of the Saint Maximus clan who was only a year older than Severus.

She had countless accomplishments to her name both on the battlefield and in politics. However, the only blemish on her illustrious career was that she once loved this idiot of a vampire named Severus Saint Maximus, who was too busy chasing the dream of the ancestors to ever pay her any real attention.

Severus wiped the drop of blood that had escaped his lips as he refound his silly smile and said " Old Bald Elders, welcome to my humble research laboratory".

Some of the old men snorted and spat as one of them said " Severus you have stolen the primordial essence from the capital research facility committing high treason against the interests of the clan.

Today we are here to seize your laboratory, and detain you for committing high treason, with the orders of the patriarch ".

Severus rolled his eyes at the old man's words, he had no doubt in his mind that news about his success had already traveled to the elders, which was the only reason the lazy bums were out of their comfy houses as Severus said " Sure, arrest me, and arrest my friend Max, the one who is of primordial blood".

Instantly there were whispers amongst the elders, they seemed to be shocked that the rumors were true and that Severus had actually completed the mad mage's dream.

" You claim to have completed the mad mage's work! Do you know the punishment for a false claim? " One of the bald old men asked, baring his half-broken fangs toward Severus

" I know it, it's death". Severus said with a smile

" Do you still claim to have succeeded? ". The elder asked, closing his half-closed eyes even further, trying to look menacing but failing miserably.

" Yes ". Severus declared and all the elders seemed to lose their shit at once, even the usually cold Grisha seemed to cry tears of joy and happiness as she gazed at Severus with newfound respect.

It took the senile old men a good 50 minutes to come out of their shock and happiness, with one of them accidentally passing from joy after hearing the news.

However, afterward one of them said " Show us " to Severus as Severus began leading them down the maze of his laboratory.

Severus's lab was a premium establishment. The patriarch of the family seemed to dote on Severus a lot and at one point in time even wanted to make him his successor, however, Severus refused the throne of power, for his only passion was research.

Nonetheless, the patriarch made sure that Severus was always well funded in his experiments and now with him succeeding in achieving the dream of the mad-mage, it looked like that trust was well placed.

Severus eventually entered the room where Max was chatting casually with an assistant when a hundred inspection spells were simultaneously cast over Max's body sending a shiver down his spine.

One after another, every single member of the Saint Maximus clan inspected Max's information for themselves as they trembled in disbelief upon seeing the blood manipulation ability in his character sheet.

" Oh lord, the heavens have mercy ". Said one of the elders before he fainted, while the other old men seemed to be needing a support chair to sit on, in a reaction that looked oddly similar to that of Severus when he had inspected Max a few hours ago.

While Max found this behavior to be funny, what he failed to realize was that this was the biggest dream of the Saint Maximus family for thousands and thousands of years.

His existence was a very big deal for the clan, with every generation of the clan wanting to see his visage at least once before they died, to have known that the dream of the mad mage was finally fulfilled.

Asiva rolled her eyes seeing the old men lose their marbles over Max, she was fed up with the whole show and chose to move out of the room to a more quiet place.

While the overall atmosphere was joyous, it did not take much time for the atmosphere to turn sour when one of the elders said " Severus, why is the boy roaming freely and not in bounds? He must be protected and preserved. He is too important to be given freedom ".

Max's worst fears came true in an instant, as his status went from a vampire to a lab rat in a split second.

Max waited for Severus to say something, but the goofy man said nothing, pretending to be in deep thought as eventually some guards came up to Max with bounds and started to bind him like an animal.

Max did not resist at all, he knew it was futile within the environment that he was in, but before they could bind him, he sent an SOS to Rudra letting him know that everything that could have gone wrong had gone wrong.

Max looked into the eyes of the elders with a smile as before he was gagged and blindfolded, he said " Save your lives if you can, because my brother is on his way to save me. "

Some of the elders snorted at his words, finding them ridiculous, while some inquired about the identity of his brother to Severus Saint Maximus who had an ashen white facial expression as if just remembering some crucial piece of information.
