Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 3410

Within the deep, hollow halls of the ancient Blood Sanctum—where time itself seemed frozen—stood the supreme beings of the western continent.

The two remaining werewolf progenitors were only part of the assembly.

There were also two powerful werewolf princes standing among the ranks. Next came the three vampire progenitors, second only to the Vampire Queen herself. Jorge was just one of them; the other two were equally ancient and terrifyingly powerful.

Even Raphael and the other vampire princes had been summoned to Blood Sanctum. But in a place like this, their status was too low, so they stood far in the back.

There were also three powerful princes from the sirens’ clan.

However, the sirens had long been pushed aside by the other two major Dark Clans. With Marcato absent, they barely had any presence at all.

Finally, the three human emperors of the western continent had arrived.

Silvio of Fraines stood tall, alongside Alejandro Ruiz, the Emperor of the Soraine Empire, and Alfonso Ortega of the Mirelan Empire.

Among them, Alfonso clearly held the lead.

Dressed in a full military uniform, with sharp, statue-like features, he looked up at the crimson figure seated upon the towering throne and asked, “Your Majesty, have you sensed something?”

The Vampire Queen wore a tall crown and stood half a head taller than most men.

Her face was deathly pale and flawless, completely devoid of emotion, while her eyes burned blood-red. The corner of her lips curled slightly, though it was impossible to tell whether she was smiling or mocking.

She spoke calmly.

“The Holtrien expedition has begun climbing the mountain. My subjects… prepare for battle. I will bring an end to the conflicts that have dragged on for countless ages.”

The three emperors and the gathered progenitors felt their hearts tighten.

Dark, overwhelming, abyssal auras spread through the hall.

“The Holtrien expedition force actually dares to step into the dark forbidden zone. Once they arrive here, total annihilation will be their only fate,” someone scoffed.

“Inside Blood Sanctum, no one can stand against Her Majesty.”

“Then let the battle rage until the sky collapses. For a thousand years, the East and West have clashed without end. This time, it will finally be settled.”

The Vampire Queen’s icy voice echoed once more through the vast temple.

“Among them, only that woman from the Greene family of Holtrien can threaten me. When the time comes, I will deal with her personally.

“As for the rest of you, ignore everything else and eliminate the remaining Holtrien forces.”

The progenitors, princes, and emperors of the Western continent immediately bowed in obedience.

The Vampire Queen’s gaze slowly ignited with burning fury.

Through layers of walls and distance, it seemed as though she could already see Andrew and the others approaching the summit.

“A descendant of Valerius, is he? Valerius crossed me, and I have never forgotten that agony—not even after a thousand years.

“This time, every member of the Lloyd royal family will die.”

Meanwhile, Andrew’s greatsword flared with blinding light.

With a single slash, he tore apart the black mist ahead.

The massive crimson temple emerged fully into view.

Only after reaching the summit and seeing it up close did they realize just how enormous and terrifying the ancient structure truly was.

Andrew soared hundreds of feet into the air, yet he still couldn’t take in the entire palace at once.

As he descended, his cold eyes caught sight of a black-clad figure standing motionless on the edge of a rooftop, like a statue.

It was the fallen angel, Arya.

The white holy sword in her hand had turned pitch black. Her once-golden armor—once a symbol of light—was now stained dark, covered with marks that looked as if demons had gnawed at it.

Arya’s face was cold, but her previously vacant eyes flared with light the moment they locked onto Andrew.

“Andrew… you came. I’ll purify you,” she murmured.

Then the dark blade in her hand erupted with massive black energy and slashed down at Andrew in fury.

Andrew let out a cold snort and swung his greatsword in a violent counterstrike.

The entire Blood Sanctum shook violently.

Below on the mountainside, massive boulders broke loose and tumbled down.

The war had finally erupted in full force—ignited by the first clash between Andrew and Arya.
