Plundering in the Apocalypse
Chapter 171 End Of The Backstory.

Louis never needed their introductions. He knew them all too well.

There were people from small clans and families like the Mido clan, Ji clan, Maestro clan, Hyunja family, and so on.

But there were also important figures whom Louis was wary of.

The fight started from both sides. It will be a fight to the death. Carelessness means death. Moreover, Louis's side has only six people, and they were going to face, dozens of enemies who are equal to or maybe even stronger than them.

But they never wavered, even in the face of death they stood proudly by Louis' side.

Many attacks were launched from both sides. The air was bloody and so was the ground. Because of the blood, their vampire instincts were also starting to take over. They started getting fiercer as the fight continued.

As soon as Louis dealt with few enemies. He was attacked by a heavy blow which almost broke his defense.

'This power... It's not some ordinary martial artist.' Louis looked at the culprit. He knew who his opponent was.

Nelson Tarragon. A genius martial artist from the Tarragon family, a family with a large foundation in martial arts. They call themselves descendants of dragons. It's unknown whether that's true or not. But all their martial arts techniques are named after dragon style.

Before Louis could make his move he found himself being unable to attack. He saw there was a small magic circle at his feet.

'A trap?' Louis' eyes fell on a man with dark bags under his eyes.

Marvick Burvis. The Burvis clan is a clan full of mages specialized in spell crafting. They had been studying life energy for generations to create miracles with spell crafting. Their foundations are no less than other martial arts families.

But Louis was a little dumbstruck because he and the Burvis family had always been on good terms so why did they backstab him?

Louis sensed an incoming attack and moved instantly. This trap managed to stop him for a moment. But it was enough for Nelson to take advantage of it. Nelson raised his hand in a claw shape and attacked mysteriously while shouting.

"Pendragon Form 1 - Dragon Claw."

Though the form looked silly, Louis didn't underestimate the power behind that punch. He wanted to dodge, but because of the trap, his reaction speed was very slow.

The claw attack pierced through the side of his abdomen.

Louis gritted his teeth in frustration. His wound wasn't recovering as fast as before. This showed he was slowly getting tired.

He stood up holding back the pain and counter-attacked Nelson. This attack was superfast in others' eyes.

Many pits formed on the road because of the fight. Although Nelson was a genius and by teaming up with Marvick, he managed to deal a heavy blow to Louis. His strength was still not enough.

In this face-off, he was beaten up badly. After the first mistake, Marvick's tricks were seen by Louis. So he didn't give them any more chances. When Nelson was down and Louis was about to kill him. He was hit by a heavy punch in his face.

"Yeah," Valor shouted excitedly from afar. This was revenge for this morning.

This punch was very strong, far stronger than Nelson and other Martial Artists.

When Louis saw the other party he was dumbfounded, he saw a red-haired boy who had a wicked grin on his face. His body was of a warrior. The scar on his handsome face made him look even fiercer.

At first glance Louis didn't think much about him, he was not even familiar with him. But that punch made him think otherwise.

That power. This aura. That technique.

Isn't that?

Seeing Louis' look the boy introduced himself.

"Hi, I'm Rafe. Rafe Wolner." Although the introduction seemed polite on the surface. The mocking grin on his face betrayed him.

Hearing his name, Louis nodded. This confirmed his thoughts. Rafe Wolner, the genius of the behemoth, the Wolner Clan. Only 15 years old, but his body and strength are far beyond an adult martial artist's. Fighting on equal footing with Louis within a few years is not impossible.

But the question is. Why is Wolner Clan also involved with Valor?

Louis had no time to think. The barrage of attacks continued as Louis once again faced the human geniuses.

This was when Louis saw a terrifying sight that made his mind darken.

One of the counts died facing the enemies. But the disgusting thing was Valor let his Vampire slaves eat his body.

"VALOR!!! DON'T YOU HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR THE DEAD!!!" Louis was furious.

"What? Everything is a resource. There's no reason to waste it if by eating his body my slaves can get stronger." Valor replied patiently.

Louis had already lost it. He just wanted to rush at Valor and tear him apart.

Ignoring the three geniuses. Louis leaped towards Valor in anger. But at this moment, another one of his counts died and he had the same fate.

Seeing Louis approaching, Valor was calm like water. He muttered softly.

"Uncle."

A heavy blow came at Louis but he barely managed to defend against it at the last moment. His body was pushed back 20 meters in that defensive posture.

"Sure enough it's you," Louis shouted. The person facing him was Valor's maternal uncle, who recently reached King's rank. In normal circumstances, he was no match for Louis but currently, the situation is very different. Louis is facing a lot of enemies and is very tired.

The fight continued again, this time with the addition of a King rank vampire they were able to face Louis.

***

Sometime later the battlefield was silent. As Louis had said the city was again painted in red. The blood of enemies was a tribute to his ancestors. But in the process, all his counts were dead and he was facing the last five enemies in front of him.

Valor never got involved but the other four fought very tacitly. Louis was very tired and full of wounds. He knew his end was coming. But he had a satisfied smile on his face. Because even though he will die, he managed to give Aurora and the others enough time to escape.

Thinking of his daughter and his wife he couldn't help but smile. Though there was a regretful expression on his face. The normal life he wanted with them was not possible.

He was betrayed by his best friend, he couldn't say a proper goodbye to his daughter and Claire. He wanted to hug and kiss them. Unfortunately, it was not possible now. In the end, even his subordinates died after following him for years. He was a very bad leader. He led them to their deaths.

He had accepted his death but Valor's next words made him freeze in horror.

"His wife is dead. Now only that Damphir is left."

Valor got this information, and he relayed it immediately. With Valor's words, everyone nodded. Their guards were also down a little because, after all, that fight Louis was in no condition to put up any resistance.

But they underestimated him. Claire and Aurora were everything to him. Because of his anger toward Valor and his love for his wife and daughter. He put every last bit of energy inside him to use and had an outburst.

The revenge-driven Louis was very dangerous as he jumped at Marvick first.

Marvick tried to put up a defensive spell but Louis was very fast. He directly grabbed Marvick's neck and strangled him. Due to all the fighting he did just now. Marvick had no energy to cast a spell or to put up resistance. After all, he was physically weak.

With Marvick down Louis doesn't need to worry about any tricks and so he released whatever was left of him.

Nelson was blown away by Louis' kick. As for Rafe, he tried to put up a defensive stance but Louis' fierce attack and his depleted Life energy. Rafe lost his left arm.

At this time Valor was very afraid of Louis. He urged his uncle.

"Stop. Stop him."

But Louis didn't stop there feeling his life coming to an end. He used a blood-detonating technique to blow himself. Generally, this technique is used in Vampire slaves as they are dispensable. But because of Louis's blood quality, this attack was magnified by far.

'I am sorry my daughter.' With that thought and griefing eyes, Louis detonated himself.

Seeing Louis's suicide Valor's uncle jumped at Louis and covered his detonating body by himself.

"Valor, Become the greatest ruler."

The body exploded like a huge missile was thrown here. A large crater was made. The power behind that blast was terrifying. The range of that blast went in all directions razing everything.

This was how the battle ended.

***

On the other side little Aurora covered in blood was crying holding her mother's dead body. Beside her stood Emily who was pale and Niles who watched everything in silence.

'Master, Miss. I promise to take care of young miss.'

Niles saw Emily who had her fists tightened as blood dropped out of them. But she just stood there in silence without any tears in her eyes. Even though her father is already dead and they were betrayed once again.

Thinking of those siblings, Niles was very angry.
