Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 3389 Azrael's expression turned solemn. "Your Majesty!" The projection before him was none other than the great emperor of the Fraines Empire, Silvio Caesar. Silvio let out a cold snort. "I have no interest in whatever happened on your side. So you do not need to be so nervous. | contacted you for only one reason. You need to speed up the war against Holtrien. Winning or losing is not important, but there's a special individual you must investigate thoroughly." Azrael was startled.

"Your Majesty, please enlighten me." Silvio paused for a moment, then said coldly, "The progenitor of the Dark Clans, the Vampire Queen, came to see me. Not just me. The emperors of the other two empires also received notice. "The Vampire Queen believes that someone has awakened within Holtrien who poses a fatal threat to her. She's deeply unsettled right now. Or rather, she's afraid. She has strongly demanded that we find the person she is looking for." Azrael was shocked. "Who could that be?

Your Majesty, is there really someone in this world who can make the Vampire Queen afraid?" Silvio's smile turned strange. "Whether such a person exists ---- doesn't concern me. In fact, | hope they do. If Holtrien truly has someone powerful enough to kill her... That would be the best possible news for our three great Western Empires." Azrael lowered his voice. "I'll do everything in my power." Silvio nodded. "According to the Vampire Queen's sensing, the person she fears should be within the area under your command. Azrael, remember this. Don't underestimate Holtrien.

We have clashed countless times. But we have never truly gained the upper hand. So | want you to stabilize our foundation first." Azrael answered firmly, "I won't disappoint you, Your Majesty." Silvio nodded again, and the projection slowly faded away. Azrael remained where he was, deep in thought. On the Western continent, the oldest and most terrifying existence was naturally the Vampire Queen. However, only a handful of people knew that. Even Azrael himself only knew fragments.

Among the political elites and royal families of the great empires, being able to contact Dukes or Princes of the Dark Trinity was already considered impressive. As for an ancient being like the Vampire Queen, the number of people who truly knew of her existence was shockingly small. ---- The reason was simple: a being like that had no reason to move openly through the world Centuries had come and gone, societies had been built and dismantled, and none of it had required her direct attention.

She simply kept her grip on the leaders of the world's most powerful empires, pulling strings from the shadows, and that was enough. Silvio Caesar was one of those leaders, which was precisely why he wanted her dead Even an emperor had his pride, and no one, regardless of their title, enjoyed being someone else's puppet. Azrael knew, beyond what had just been said aloud, that Silvio's ambitions ran even deeper than simply eliminating the Vampire Queen. He wanted her power for himself.

Nonetheless, that was the kind of knowledge that stayed buried; Azrael would not have breathed a word of it even in his sleep. The forces involved were far too profound, far beyond his understanding. The recent assault had left the Three Empires' allied army shaken and demoralized Azrael executed several generals, and the matter was temporarily suppressed. However, the anger and hatred in his heart only grew stronger. ---- "Andrew Lloyd of Holtrien, come out and face me!" A thunderous roar exploded above Cliffside Gate.

Azrael stood alone before the gate in full combat armor, energy crackling around him, long spear in hand, challenging the entire fortress alone. His plan was straightforward: cut Andrew down first, strip Holtrien of its backbone, and then launch the full offensive. Andrew had been the reason the last time things had gone wrong. And if Azrael could eliminate him one-on-one, he was confident the Cavendish royal family's defensive line would crumble not long after.
