Evolution Online: Building a Kingdom with 100\% drop rate

"Vicious." Alaric frowned, as he had never heard of such a figure among the royal devil family, and thought, ’Maybe an official in the kingdom or a tribe leader.’

There was no helping thinking about something beyond his control, so Alaric shifted the topic. "Amber, I can call you that, right?"

"Ah, yes." Amber, who heard her being called out, hurriedly nodded.

"I can feel you have no Darkness-attributed weapon. I can help you with that," Alaric said with a sly smile.

"Weapon?" Big question marks appeared above Amber’s head.

Victor also raised an eyebrow and looked at the king with a questioning frown.

"Looks like you don’t have one yet." The King exchanged a look with the Queen, who nodded and continued, "Look, I will show you."

The King raised his hands and closed his eyes, and the next moment, black mist started to appear around his palm.

Victor immediately became alert, and his muscles tensed when he felt a huge threat forming. Soon, the mist condensed into a blood-red spear.

Victor’s eyes narrowed as he muttered, "A Soul Weapon."

"Oh, you can recognize this?" The King looked at Victor with some surprise, as not many could recognize a Soul Weapon.

"Yeah, I also have one myself," Victor said calmly, and the royal family looked at him with shock and surprise.

"What? You have a Soul Weapon? Can I see it?" Seraphina gasped and looked at Victor with shining eyes.

"Later, Seraphina, not now." The Queen shot a look at her daughter, who pouted but did not say anything.

"What’s a Soul Weapon?" Valerie was completely confused, as she was the only one who was confused, and thought inwardly, ’Are they part of the great families or something? How do they know more about me?’

Valerie noticed there was no look of confusion on Victor, Amber, and Rina’s faces and groaned inwardly.

Rina looked at Valerie and explained, "Soul Weapons are the rarest kind of weapon, and from what I know, there are rumors that they can grow to ranks above the highest known Divine Rank."

As Valerie heard Rina’s explanation, her mouth hung open as she looked at Victor in disbelief and then at the spear in the King’s hand and swallowed hard as she thought, ’Heavens, if I didn’t know he had a fire bloodline, I would have doubted he was Faceless.’

"Now let’s get back to the main topic." The King said as he looked at Amber and explained, "You see, night creatures like demons, devils, etc. have their power, or you can say Bloodline, amplified if they wield a Darkness-attributed weapon suited for their Bloodline."

Amber’s eyes lit up when she understood and looked at the trio and asked, "Do you all have a Soul Weapon?"

"Of course, Amber." The Queen rolled her eyes and said with a shake of her head, "Only the King and Seraphina have a Soul Weapon. Me and Jack don’t have a Soul Weapon, but ordinary high-ranked weapons, just like the majority."

"You have a Soul Weapon?" Victor looked at Seraphina and asked, who replied with a challenging look, "Indeed. Maybe we can spar later."

"Where do I get one from? Is there a shop?" Amber asked impatiently, as she was very eager to get stronger because she knew how abnormal her husband’s growth was, and if she wanted to help Victor, she needed to get stronger.

"Well, we can help you with that..." The King and Queen exchanged a look and nodded.

"Oh, I don’t think you would help without some strings attached." Victor said bluntly, as Amber also calmed down and looked at the rulers with a wary glance.

Rina and Valerie, who heard Victor’s words, also cast a suspicious look in their direction.

Seeing the looks they were getting, none of them seemed displeased. Instead, the King showed signs of being impressed and looked at them with a smile.

"You are right. I do need your help. More specifically, I need the help of a Night Slayer," King Alaric said, keeping his eyes fixated on Victor.

"My help?" Victor was caught off guard by his words and noticed the Prince and Princess were also looking at him with a mixture of nervousness and expectation.

"Yes... but before I say anything, you should use a detection skill, if you have any, on us and look closely at our condition," King Alaric said with a bitter smile on his face.

Victor frowned upon hearing their words and immediately used his pupil technique on the royal family, and his pupils constricted to the size of needles.

"Ah... this." Victor was completely dumbfounded when he saw this and looked at the royal family in disbelief with his mouth open, as moments later, he blurted out, "You... all are cursed."

Maria gave a bitter smile as she said, "Indeed. We were cursed by a Night Slayer, and only a Night Slayer could break the curse on the Luxem Family, which has taken the lives of countless royal members."

"Cursed?" Amber was completely confused by their words as she thought, ’I thought demons were friendly with Night Slayers. Why would they curse them?’

"It seems you are confused. Let me clarify," Alaric said with an exhausted sigh.

"This was a curse one of our ancestors had gotten from a Night Slayer when they were still alive. It seems my ancestor had stepped into his mouth while he was walking and got cursed," Alaric said with a bit of anger.

"That’s too petty," Rina said with a frown, criticizing someone just because of such a simple matter.

"Yeah, I agree." Victor nodded.

"Well, a few Night Slayers at that time were very arrogant and petty," Maria said with a dark look.

"At first, my ancestors thought they were joking, as the curse did not get active for centuries. The curse first weakens us until we reach Level 1 and turns us into normal mortals who die painfully. The previous royal families died like this, and we are next in line if you don’t help us," Alaric said, looking at Victor.

"I would be more than happy to help you," Victor said in a serious voice.

"Sigh, I would like to thank you again." Alaric stood up and bowed.

"Ah, there is no need." Victor hurriedly stood up and waved his hand awkwardly.

"You are way different from the Night Slayers I read about in books." Seraphina said with a teasing smile, while Victor’s lips twitched.

"Please follow me. I will take you to the place where our ancestors made arrangements for our curse to be lifted if we ever encountered a Night Slayer," Alaric said as he gestured for everyone to follow him.

The King took them to a room at the very end of the corridor, and they arrived in front of a gigantic door.

"We are here," Alaric said.

Creak.

He swung open the door, and the first thing that came into Victor’s view was a giant lake with a large waterfall, and pictures of various demons on the wall, which seemed to be previous kings or members of the royal family.

"Please follow me," the King said as they walked toward the lake and stopped right in front of a school of goldfish.

"Victor, you need to drop a drop of your blood into the lake, and if the goldfish consume your blood, that means it can be used to lift the curse, and we will proceed to the next step," King Alaric explained.

"Sure," Victor said calmly as he stepped forward, and Alaric handed him a dagger, which he used to make a small cut on his finger.

As soon as he cut his finger, the female members of the royal family trembled, and especially Seraphina exclaimed, "What is that aromatic spell? I have never smelled something this good... How can his blood smell so good?"

Seraphina almost drooled, and not only her, but the Queen also looked at Victor’s finger with an extremely greedy look, as if they wanted to suck his blood.

Only Jack and Alaric looked at the women with confusion and were about to ask what was going on when Seraphina and even Maria stepped forward and asked Victor.

"Victor, if you don’t mind, can I have a taste of your blood?" Seraphina said with a blush.

"What!" Victor was completely dumbfounded upon hearing her request, and Maria also asked hesitantly, "I also want to try it a bit."

’What is going on?’ King Alaric looked at his wife and daughter in disbelief.

"Eh, sure?" Victor said doubtfully but obliged to their request and gave them each a drop on their palms.

They immediately licked the drop of blood off their palms, and the next moment, both fell to their knees.
