(A/n : In the previous chapter of Vampire Chronicles)

Or so he thought until...

(A/n : And now the continuation)

(A/n : Play this music)

(A/n : Author's POV)

(A/n : Just like that, but replace :

- Aggregor with Sanguis Rex and

- Humongousaur with The Duke of Hell)

Sanguis Rex had clenched his fist and hit the Duke of Hell with such force that he caused a small earthquake that either leveled a few of the nearby buildings or critically destroyed most of them, leaving a massive crater on the ground.

The Duke of Hell, dazed and knocked onto the floor after the hit had tried to stand up, only for his legs to give out from underneath him.

He had tried to go away, but the last thing he'd seen was that...

(A/n : Just like that, but replace Alucard with Sanguis Rex)

Sanguis Rex was looking at him with red, hungry, seemingly feral eyes as he lunged towards the Duke of Hell.

His sharp teeth had penetrated through the Duke's carotid artery, earning a painful wail from the demon as he started to feast on the demon's blood ignoring any and all screams and wails the Duke of Hell had emitted.

(A/n : Michael's PoV)

I had done what I thought to be the best choice, since the Duke after his demonic transformation was far too feral and volatile, I decided that he was too dangerous to be left alive and thus I started draining him.

His blood although to a normal human its taste would be repugnant, for me it was sweet, surprisingly sweeter than sweet, beckoning me to drink it.

And thus I'm brought here in this medieval city, in front of this massive being....

(A/n : That's how Typhoon looks like)

??? : "What's this? A vampire entered into my domain, what do you seek mortal?", he asked me, his voice booming from above me like a thunderstorm whilst I stayed here awestruck.

??? : "Interesting, judging from your presence it seems that you have heaps of untapped potential, a shame to see that most of it is locked by divine restraints.

But I'm surprised to see that even with your current potential you managed to fell the Duke of Hell and on top of that make his power, that Dark Part of my own entirely yours...

The Duke was a thorn at my side, always trying to usurp the king of demons, the leader of biological lineage of my ancestors even though Dracula, my... albeit for lack of a better term 'adopted' child had beaten him senseless, but he never learnt.", he stated.

Me : "Dracula? As in Vlad Dracula Tepes, the king of Wallachia? That Dracula?", I asked him.

??? : "Strong and eager to learn. You have the making of a great Typhonean Vampire...

But to cure your curiosity, that's indeed the one I meant.", he stated.

Me: "I have a question..", I asked him.

??? : "Hmm?", he hummed in inquiry.

Me : "What is a Typhonean Vampire?", I asked him and gulped seeing his writhing tentacles move with his mood that wasn't good by the looks of it.

??? : "A Typhonean Vampire not knowing what it is...", he remarked, raising slightly his voice. Even that small voice raise caused the world around me to shake.

Typhoon : "A Typhonean Vampire, young one is a vampire that's related to me in one way or another since I'm their creator so from respect only, listen up since I'm not going to say anything twice...

I'm Typhoon, the King of all monsters and in regards to what a Typhonean Vampire is, is a vampire that's in one way or another related to Vlad Dracula Tepes... the first Typhonean Vampire.

But that's a story for another time as it seems.", he stated as I saw all things around me blur.

Panicked as I was, I wanted to ask him another question, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to speak a single word.

Typhoon: "We're going to meet again sometime young one...

For now, just awaken...", he stated.

(A/n : Outside Michael's mind scape)

(A/n : Author's POV)

Michael had woken up from his unconscious state, blinking his eyes, trying his best to shake away the feeling of drowsiness that was enveloping him, until he remembered where he was.

He was at the place where the Closed Basketball Court of OAKA was located at - well... what remained of it - but he wasn't there to play, he was there because the last thing he remembered was fighting the Duke of Hell when...

Sanguis Rex : "Oh crap... Mother", he muttered under his breath in worry, going back to the place where his mother was, although making sure he wiped his face from the blood before doing as such.

Afterwards, he had went to where his mother and uncle were, trying to feel their heartbeat which thanks to his enhanced hearing wasn't that difficult to do.

He sighed with relief seeing that they were still alive.

Guardian Angel : "Vitality Signal testing complete.

Vitality Status :
- Helen Kalopoulou : Alive, although paralyzed from the waist and down.

- Peter Hatzigeorgiou : Alive, although unconscious due to blood loss.

Both cases are easily to be treated by using my services.

Would you be interested in doing as such.

[Yes] or [No]", the AI had stated.

Sanguis Rex : "A million times yes. Proceed.", he stated.

Guardian Angel: " Answer chosen : Yes.

Healing process is starting...

First for Mr Hatzigeorgiou, administer him half of this medicine...

It's a strong therapeutic serum used in cellular cloning therapy in the 25th Century A.D.", the AI stated to me as it materialised from its pocket space the cloning serum within the syringe.

Michael had then placed the syringe on his uncle's left arm, injecting carefully half of the serum and saw much to his surprise that it already begun working.

Guardian Angel: "Part two of Mr Hatzigeorgiou's treatment...

Destruction of his old hand in order to remove suspicions.", the AI stated as it threw a small laser beam to the cut arm, disintegrating it in an instant cell by cell, leaving nothing but dust behind.

Guardian Angel: "Now for Miss Helen's treatment...

Administer the other half of the therapeutic serum on her lower spine just below the third lumbar vertebra", the AI instructed and I did as told.

Thankfully I had studied human anatomy so I knew which vertebra was which.

Guardian Angel: "Now in order to complete your mother's treatment, place me on her waist.", the AI instructed.

Sanguis Rex : "I hope it's not some type of I hold your mother hostage so you better do as I say scenario", he warned, but was going to do as told until he had heard something.

Police Officer #82 : "You... you were the one who defeated that monster!", he stated.

Police Officer #69 : "Stay away from the injured ones and put your hands up...", she stated, aiming her weapon towards Sanguis Rex.

Sanguis Rex : "It was good as long as it lasted ", he thought to himself with a sigh, going with them, not before placing the Guardian Angel device in his jacket's inner pocket. He didn't want to let them find it.

(A/n : Small time skip after Helen Kalopoulou and Peter Hatzigeorgiou had been driven to the local hospital.)

(A/n : Sanguis Rex's current location : Trikala Police Office)

(A/n : Sanguis Rex's POV)

I was held in a cell at the local police office. Two police officers were looking at me, although I could hear their heartbeats. Fast and heavily beating.

They had seen what I'm capable of, although be it due to instinct or gut feeling, I could also detect two other officers outside, presumably for backup. They kept me in here, like some sort of caged animal until a knock was heard on the door.

Police Officer #54 :"*opens the door and salutes* Mr Hatzigeorgiou, glad to see you.", he saluted.

Mr Hatzigeorgiou : "Anything new about him, Officer Andrew?", he inquired.

Officer Andrew : "Nothing new sir, he also appears to be fairly docile by the looks of it.", he said.

Mr Hatzigeorgiou : "That's good since I've got someone else who came for a visit that might provide some... enlightening answers about our vigilante.", he stated and moved aside as another person had appeared.

(A/n : That's how the man looks like, also ignore the dragon like being behind him.)

He was tall, head and shoulders slightly above Mr Hatzigeorgiou's with slicked back, jet black hair, pale skin and ruby red eyes.

He wore a grey buttoned up shirt and a red tie underneath and a buttoned up, black jacket over it as black pants, belt and black Oxford formal shoes had completed his stylish, yet simplistic business attire.

Michael's eyes had widened realising who this man was...

The man was Ivan Caligo, the Head Manager of the External Relations Management Team in one of the biggest companies in Greece, a company known as Leventis Inc.

My father.

Ivan : "Sanguis Rex, we have to talk. The two of us.", he stated, a serious look was plastered on his neatly shaved face.

(A/n : To Be Continued)

A/n : Hello everyone, Son Raon here and I present to you the latest chapter of my story GHV : Vampire Chronicles : Sanguis Rex with the title Day of Reckoning.

In this chapter we've found out more about the origins of the Obsidian Cult and went a few trips back to the past in order to explain some of the plot holes that were left open, along with taking my time in writing about one of the most important fights in this book.

Now, as always please leave your questions in the comments section of this chapter and I'll be glad to answer them on my spare time.

Also, I need to apologise for having to cut down the chapter to three separate ones, but due to Wattpad's rule of allowing only a total sum of twenty pictures and gifs per chapter, it cut my fun short since I would either have to not use some of the gifs I've spent countless hours searching for or make a more rushed, less interesting ending to the first season of this book.

But now since my time working on this book is limited as it is, I leave you with giving you as a parting gift this after credit scene...

(A/n : Author's POV)

(A/n : Current Location : Underworld)

(A/n : Play this music)

It was a busy day in the underworld.

The Median Plane, the place where all the supernatural who due to the nature of their being weren't allowed in neither Elysium or Tartarus was in a bit of a shock, more specifically on the fact that the whereabouts of the Great Usurper, The Duke of Hell were found out and more importantly that he was felled and the one who had struck the killing blow was a Typhonean Vampire in the Overworld of all places.

Why was it that big of a deal you may ask?

It was mainly due to the fact that the supernaturals of this world had imposed onto them a very specific law. The Law of the Masquerade, a law that was imposed onto them by the Lords of Ichor and more importantly, Lord Dracula himself, the ruler of the Median Plane.

The Law of the Masquerade decreed that any supernatural being that was to appear in the Overworld, they had to act in secrecy, maintaining a human appearance as to not move suspicions to themselves, because if the Masquerade broke, humanity would be on guard about everyone and panic would ensue.

The Duke's actions on the Overworld were nearing the shattering of the Law of the Masquerade, but was stopped by Lord Dracula himself once, but now it was even worse than before since although the Duke of Hell was put into a permanent stop, the destruction that ensued on the aftermath of his fight with Sanguis Rex was going to tear down the Law if no one had taken any significant actions.

??? : "Grandmaster Melheiz, I've returned.", a feminine voice had stated, kneeling before the one she called master.

(A/n : I told you that the appearance of that girl would be important)

Melheiz : "Arise Mary or should I call you by your true name, Princess Lilith?", he asked her.

Grandmaster Melheiz was a Typhonean Vampire, but much older than nearly any other vampire in the Median Plane with the exception of the royals, Dracula and Carmilla Tepes, the lords of the Median Plane along with Ambrosio, the Lord and Progenitor of the Moonlight Vampires.

It was said that due to his unrivalled prowess with the sword, he was the one who trained Dracula's most loyal guards, the Shadow Legion, not to mention that he knew Dracula himself for a very long time and was a part of Dracula's innermost circle of loyals, thus having the outmost of Dracula's respect.

The girl on the other hand had changed into another form. Her skin pigmentation turned black and her hair turned into a bright white colour like the fresh snow under the moonlight.

Her once hazel eyes turned red like two pools of fire and two reddish golden intricate earrings appeared on her ears.

A pair of two black, short, curled upwards horns protruded from her hair as her outfit changed to an oriental, black with golden and silver embroidery kimono, signifying the completion of her transformation.

(A/n : That's how her true form looks like)

Lilith : "Where's Tiamat and Alpheus", she asked him.

Melheiz : "Alpheus had returned back to the Artemisium, the Royal Palace of the Moonlight Vampires by decree of Duke Ambrosio and Dutchess Selene.

He is the hair to the Moonlight Vampires throne after Ambrosio after all so he's busy with royal matters.", he stated.

Lilith : "What about Tiamat then?", the female demon asked.

Melheiz : "The werewolf princess? She returned back to her father, Lycaon just yesterday.

He had something important to tell her and thus I obliged.", he explained.

Lilith : "To be fair, it's better that they don't know about it yet since Alpheus would go out of his way to bring down the Typhonean that had beaten The Duke of Hell, due to the rivalry between Typhoneans and Lunarians whilst Tiamat would get to the Overworld herself and drag the Typhonean down to the underworld.", she stated.

Melheiz : "I'm guessing that this isn't the only reason you're glad that none of them is here.

There must be a deeper reason to it, isn't it?", he asked her about it.

Lilith : "To be fair there is.

I had observed the Typhonean's fight with the Duke of Hell, disguising myself as one of the human hostages.

I had the urge to help him, but either fortunately or unfortunately, I held myself back from doing so.

But there was another interesting thing, the Typhonean called himself Sanguis Rex.", she explained and stopped, seeing that her master's eyes had widened slightly.

Lilith : "Are you alright master, you look as if you've seen a ghost?", she asked him.

Melheiz on the other hand had blinked, returning to his normal, serious face.

Melheiz : "It's nothing, I just got... resurfacing memories of something.", he stated.

Melheiz : "Before you leave... continue to follow our mysterious individual, but maintain your hidden state.

Don't worry if you have to show your true self to him, I'll speak to Dracula about it and allow you a pardon.", he stated.

Lilith : "Understood Master Melheiz. Farewell.", she said, teleporting in a veil of shadows.

Melheiz : "Sanguis Rex huh? So the Caligo family is back at it again...

Who is it, Ivan? Not possible, my grandson has a position to upkeep.

Helen? Neither, my granddaughter-in-law is human so it's impossible...

So this leaves only one...

Ah yes....

Michael Caligo", he stated, looking with his bright red eyes at the reflection of his sword.

(A/n : That's how Grandmaster Melheiz looks like)

Melheiz : "Let's see how much you've changed...

My great grandchild...", he said.
