Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1552: The Great Emperor Of The Human Empire

-----

The Human Emperor stood up. That was more than enough for now. If he sat down any longer, he would get his ass sore and he would grow more bored. A man detached from emotions since birth, he didnʼt knew anything about human relationships and for him, everything were tools, items he used for his goals. When he grew stronger, he realized he alone wasnʼt enough, so he made children, dozens of children. Each one was a weapon for him, each Skill they acquired held a new power that could be used to further crush his foes with great might.

Since he was born that he had no emotions. Nobody knew why he was always expressionless, he lacked empathy and even more, he couldnʼt even comprehend what emotions truly were. Ultimately, he simply thought that they were something that drove people to do things. Even though he might think of himself as not having them, he still could have them. Merely speaking, he simply wasnʼt emotional. But he had excitement, rage, thrill, and more.

These were emotions, but perhaps, were the only ones he could properly experience, and only in battle. Indeed, in the middle of a battle was the only place where the Emperor felt his blood pumping, a smile surging in his lips as he fought, slaughtered, and covered everything with blood. The excitement and the drive that brought him to such lengths was his endless craving for violence, as it was the only meaning to make him feel alive.

It was a secret that many nobles hid, but that he eventually learned. Over time the Artifacts used to make his family inherit the Skills of ancient Heroes was the cause of his appearance, of his emotional state, and of his incredible, non-human-like powers, alongside the strange craving for blood he had since he was a child. He learned what he had was the ”Blood Cure” caused by overusing the Vampireʼs Artifacts imbued with their blood and souls for generations.

These mutations accumulated over many generations, until they ultimately gave birth to people like him, humans yet not humans at all. The power of the ancient Race of Vampires, who once terrorized both humans, demons, and elves with their tyranny, emotionlessness, and overwhelming power had been reborn in the family of the Human Empire, and all his children began to awaken more powers. He was one of the ”awakened” ones, some called him the ”perfect inheritor of blood” while others called him ”an abomination”.

He was one of the first of his family to fully inherit the power of the Vampires they stole these artifacts from, when they were all eliminated, his ancient family made by summoned heroes used such artifacts imbued with the vampiresʼ powers to inherit their skills to their descendants, as a way to ensure their childrenʼs prosperity by inheriting their strength. At the end, the ultimate inheritor of all this curse accumulated over generations was him, the Emperor.

His lack of emotions, his thrill when fighting and slaughtering, and his endless desire for conquest and to grab greedily all the land for himself were all the nature of these ancient vampires, he inherited their power and greed. However, instead of falling into despair, he embraced his vampiric powers and slayed any of the nobles that opposed him. He breed dozens of women with his seed and created dozens of children, inheriting his powers and being born even more vampiric than ever before.

He was the one that changed the history of his family, as from his seed, dozens of more vampiric-like humans were born. They called themselves the Blood Creed and were taught to be the inheritors of the world and all of their riches. The Emperorʼs goals were forever to conquer and devour anything in his path, seeking the excitement and thrill of battle, as it brought him the greatest satisfaction, and it even made him feel alive.

Since then, he awakened the power of [Bloodline Awakening] within his Soul Book and used the power of this Skill to further awaken his childrenʼs Vampiric powers, putting them into great and painful trainings to squeeze all their power. Eventually, he build his own family of monstrous weapons. With them, he threatened other Kingdoms, and won wars after wars, easily conquering land while experiencing the thrill of war.

However, he eventually craved for more… more, and more.

Knowing about the Demonʼs Invasion, he only wished they could try to invade him so he would have enough of an excuse to slaughter even more in a war. But instead, what he found was a demon woman that suddenly came to visit him. This woman was… a Demon Lord, herald of the Demon King. The Demon King wasnʼt stupid, he knew of the incredible might of the Human Emperor. At the end, an alliance was decided, were both sides agreed on crushing the elves.

The Human Empire was granted even more powers thanks to the Demons weapons, armor, and artifacts, alongside their curses, that strengthened them in exchange for draining their life. But even with all of this applied, his army was still losing, and the reason was clear. It wasnʼt the elves tactics, it was all depending in two entities, two summoned beings from another world brought by the

He knew he had to slay them before things would turn devastatingly bad. He grabbed his sword and walked forward, the Demon Lord behind him walked by his side, fully intending to aid him in battle.

”Donʼt come with me, Iʼll fight alone. It would be annoying if you get in the way.” The Emperor coldly said, putting aside from Demon Lord, as the lady smiled and giggled.

”Oh my, so cold~ Fine, have fun, little Emperor.” The woman said with a fascinated yet wicked smile, as the Emperor walked forward, jumping from over the corpse of the Black Wyvern.

The Human Emperorʼs hands suddenly began to gather Blood Essence, as his Blood Aura continued to expand around his body. The blood of countless soldiers that had perished flowed towards him, gathering into a sphere of blood.

”Blood Field...”

FLUOSH!
