Chapter 498 The Forbidden Library, The Academic World (3)
Isla looked back at him, but she shook her head.
"No... I just felt like I remembered things that made me cry." She said, wiping away tears. "Although I can't understand what it was, I think Paul Hoffman was someone very close to us."
Matthew then nodded. "I see... I can't remember anything yet."
Honestly, it didn't feel right for him. But he was sure he must remember soon.
And if delving into the books of that time was a way to remember, he would read every book here.
With a determined look, he turned to the second volume.
It wasn't long, and it talked about the Dietrich Era again.
But this time in a slightly different way.
-Was the Dietrich clan exterminated? Possibly.
I personally never got to see the corpses, but the Last Battle had too many powerful people to think otherwise.
I'll start by saying this, in case someday you damned Hill Clan bastards read my book. You should know that I, Paul Hoffman, hate you and will hate you until the end of my days. I am an Immortal Vampire; my Immortality was granted to me by My Lord, The Father of Power!
He whom you worshipped in the beginning, but then you bit his hand! The Great Dietrich!
With my Immortality in hand and being perhaps the only one who still retains the True Vampiric Immortality, I will fight against you, traitors. Someday, I will bathe in the blood of all of you, for you were the main culprits. Good luck in your lives, and thank our Father of Power for the fact that you now rule.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
With a rather aggressive introduction packed with precious information, Matthew was already immersed in the story. One of his questions had been answered, but a new one was created in the same introduction.
Still, the story had just begun.
Soon, he found himself immersed in a journey as to why a Clan is considered a Saint.
Why is the Dietrich Clan a Saint Clan, and why is the Hill Clan a Saint Clan? Is it because of power, or is it because of something else? Your journey continues on empire
The answer is simple: It is due to an ability that any of its members have that is vital to the Race to which they belong.
In this context, the only Clan that should be considered a 'Saint Clan' is the Dietrich Clan because it has the race's central and creation ability.
Reading the book's second volume, Matthew realized that all the questions Paul Hoffman asked himself in the first volume were actually a facade. He already knew the answers to the questions regarding the 'Progenitor of the Vampires', and he shouldn't even hesitate.
The answer was simple: it is the Central and Creation Ability of the Race whose name is not specified. But which Matthew can understand.
'It's 'The Vampire', huh.'
With this skill alone, Clan Dietrich meets the standards to be the Saint Clan of the Vampire Race.
Now, Clan Dietrich also meets a possible second option: Clan Dietrich is not degradable. Their Vampirism, unlike all other Vampirisms, is not degradable.
It always remains in quality and can grow; it can never fall. In Paul Hoffman's words, this makes them the most worthy heir to the title, though it didn't seem to be all.
But what does the Hill Clan have for the Vampire Race? What is its magic, its power, or its ability?
The answer is also simple: The Night.
The Hill Clan is the King of the Night because their core ability allows them to rule and create an immense amount of night variations. The Vampires desired this back then, so the Forgotten Clan, who had secluded themselves in a Mountain, decided to come out at a certain point and perpetuated themselves as the second Saint Clan, taking advantage of the need for the night.
No one can deny that they are worthy to bear the title because they have something indispensable. Moreover, this Night is not something 'simple'; it allows vampires to have strength in the Night. Moreover, this ability is evolutionary.
It can evolve and change, although it is degradable. If it evolves correctly, its degradability can be avoided.
Seeing this and having known the Hill Clan for over 50 million years, the Great Dietrich devised his own Plan to perpetuate the Vampire Power. He was certain that with his Clan Dietrich and Clan Hill as rulers of a world without a day, no one else could oppose them.
Hence, the mission to destroy the sun was born and carried out a few thousand years later.
But that was the moment when the betrayal began.
-No one, not even I, knows how many sacrifices the Dietrich Clan made to make that mission succeed. What I am sure of is that there was a very big plan behind it, which only the Great Dietrich and his Heir could know.
I can only say that, in the Final Battle for the Supremacy of the Races, all the existing races participated. Even monsters and terrifyingly powerful and gigantic existences were present—even the treachery of the Hill Clan and numerous smaller Clans, Organizations, and so on.
They feared something: The Coming of the Prophecy.
The Prophecy of a New Era.
That was the end of the 3 Volumes of the Dietrich Era. Without realizing it, Matthew had read both final Tomes in a moment, getting precious information on everything he wanted.
The betrayal of the Hill Clan. It was specified that it took place after the sun was destroyed, taking advantage of that moment and its Night.
It was a final battle for supremacy, which left the doors open for many things. Who won it? The vampires? For now, Matthew doesn't know because, for some reason, he feels those things are far away.
This complemented what he already knew about the Vampire Prosperity Organization allied with Clan Hill to betray the race, which could mean that the vampires were perhaps the winners of the Final Battle for Supremacy, with Clan Hill rising in the end.
However, one more issue was mentioned that went unanswered. Were the extremely powerful people not identified within any of the races infiltrators from the other races? Or were they a new race? Where did they live?
Also, the arrival of a supposed prophecy mentioning a New Age meant it was interesting to read.
As Matthew prepared to close the book, he noticed that there was still one more page, which seemed to be a bit stuck to the last page, which is why he hadn't noticed it.
The page had almost nothing written, simply a few final words.
-To answer the question I started with... I cannot know if the Dietrich Clan was exterminated.
It has been a while since their Fall, and I can't understand much of what I saw in those days. I have been looking for the corpses of our Leaders for a long time, but I have not been able to find them. My faith remains intact that they have not been exterminated, but I must acknowledge a reality. That day, there were too many strange, gigantic, and very powerful existences.
Perhaps they were devoured by those strange beasts, or perhaps they were kidnapped. The world is in chaos and probably won't last long; I leave my writings behind as evidence of what was once the Greatest Age of the Vampire Race.
