<h4>Chapter 258 Rendezvous Point</h4>


    "Toote?" Rudy asked with a curious and confused look on his face.


    Nyxia raised her brow and asked, "Why are you talking like you don''t know about this? Sure, even if you didn''t have powers at that time, you should know what happened, right? Now that I think about it, all this time, you have been saying ''I read this and that'', but you never said you saw it with your own eyes."


    "Well… the cat was out of the bag a while ago, but it took you a while to catch it…" Rudy muttered.


    ''This was bound to happen since I have been asking so many questions and trying to make sense of it by rting them with me. I guess telling Nyxia about it would be okay? To be honest, I am not sure. But if I want more answers, I should tell her,''


    "Listen carefully. I am actually a—"


    "Wait, wait. Don''t tell me now. Let me finish what I was saying. The conversation is getting mixed, and it''s bing more and more confusing. I am not smart like you to understand everything," Nyxia interjected.


    "Okay."


    "As I was saying, Anderson wanted to rule over the human world and be their king. The vampires and the other races had nothing to do with it. It was none of our concern. But we were mistaken."


    "He wasn''t nning to rule only over the human world, but the other worlds too?" Rudy guessed.


    "Indeed. And a human, even as an undead, can''t be stronger than an undead vampire or undead dragon or the undead of other races."


    "Vampire zombie and dragon zombie. Damn, that actually sounds cool for some reason..." Rudy muttered.


    Nyxia ignored Rudy''s words and continued, "Anderson had already taken over 30% of the humans, and his powers were increasing."


    "Huh?"


    "Did I mention that a necromancer''s powers grow strong as their army increases?"


    "You didn''t…" Rudy shook his head.


    "Now you know."


    "..." Rudy shook his head in disbelief and recalled how Virgil did the same thing when he was telling him about the Lord.


    "However, that much power wasn''t enough. And besides, he didn''t know how to open a portal to the other world or the requirements to open it. But fortunately, our spies informed us about his n, and we had to take action."


    "A war?" Rudy wondered.


    "Of course not. Virgil single-handedly took care of Anderson and his army of the undead," Nyxia uttered nonchntly.


    "Single-handedly?!" Rudy eximed.


    "Yeah. The leaders of the other races wanted to help, but Virgil went to the human world and wiped them out. If it was any other race, they would have brought their army full of warriors, and things could have gone nasty."


    "True. And the humans could have learned about the existence of the other races too. I still don''t know if that would have been a good thing or not. If all the races lived on the same…no, that''s practically impossible since earth isn''t that big. Rather, if we all co-existed together, I wonder what type of world would that be," Rudy uttered with a distant smile on his face— as though he had seen that before—which surprised Nyxia.


    ''So my suspicion was right. He truly is….''


    "Still, I didn''t know Virgil was that strong…" Rudy muttered. "30% of the total human poption is still more than two billion. That''s a ridiculous amount of—"


    "Virgil is the strongest vampire. The strongest. Why do you think no one dares to challenge him for the throne?"


    "Not going to lie, I expected you to be the strongest."


    "I am the second strongest, and ironically, Jane is the third."


    "Uhh…"


    "Are you surprised?" Nyxia grinned and said, "The three strongest vampires are from the same kingdom. The other vampire kings and the kingdoms fear us. They go to war against each other and also form alliances. But this kingdom has been alone and always will be," Nyxia stated.


    "How did Virgil manage to kill the necromancer?" Rudy asked curiously. "Since you can''t kill a dead person."


    "You are right about that. And Virgil couldn''t kill Anderson. Even after killing him hundreds of thousands of times, he revived himself. That''s why, Virgil sealed him and his powers and locked him in the prison realm, where the most deadly criminals are locked up. Of course, all of them are immortal, so we can''t kill them."


    Rudy furrowed his brow and uttered, "What if they escape? You should find a way to kill them. Even if one person managed to get free, he or she could also free all the prisoners there. All the worlds would be in chaos if that ever happens."


    "That''s impossible."


    "Guess what? This ignorance is the reason why the evildoers are so confident. There is nothing ''impossible'' in the world. Anything can happen. The world is unpredictable."


    "The prison realm was the first thing the Lord had created. It''s a never-ending realm, disconnected from every other world. There are thousands of heavenly guards guarding every corner, with each chamber having another ten guards per prison. Even if someone managed to escape, they would have nowhere to go. The prison realm itself is a big prison," Nyxia asserted.


    "Do you think we never considered that possibility?" Nyxia frowned her face and said, "We are not dumb."


    "I just got angry because I didn''t want any of them in my world…" Rudy muttered.


    He lowered his gaze and pondered for a few seconds before uttering, "My house…or rather, my town and the neighboring cities were unaffected by the apocalypse. I heard that T.A didn''t allow any undead to enter the area. What''s the reason behind that?


    "That''s the ce which is closest to the other worlds. The portals can only be opened from there. Think of it as a rendezvous point," Nyxia responded calmly.


    "Just like there is one in the world where the summit urs?" Rudy asked in a neutral tone.


    "You can say that, yes," Nyxia nodded.


    "Now, all my questions have been answered. I feel rxed. Thanks for cooperating with me. Now it''s my turn."
