Overgeared

‘Wow, look at this guy.’

There had been no communication with Elfin Stone for a year. He always refused the summoning and wouldn’t even communicate. Grid had suspected a system failure. Later, he felt he might’ve been mistaken for Braham, and tried to understand why Elfin Stone ignored him. But now...

-Lord Grid!Grid!Didn’t I say I would swear loyalty?Stop that crazy demon’s work.

“...Bullshit.”

Elfin Stone had never misunderstood Grid’s identity. He knew precisely who Grid was and kept ignoring him.

‘Disgraceful guy.’

As his annoyance soared, the frowning Grid asked Betty, “I am the Blood King. All the vampires, except for Marie Rose, must obey me, so why could Elfin Stone ignore me?”

“You’re basically misunderstanding. The direct descendants obey you not because of coercion. It is through their own will.”

“Huh?”

“Look back. Weren’t there direct descendants who followed you before you became the Blood King? Especially if they are children who died in your hands.”

“......”

Certainly, it was true. Tiramet had obeyed Grid even before Grid became the Blood King. He just wasn’t as polite as he was now.

“Isn’t it because their souls were sealed in the objects and weakened, so they became submissive?”

"No. The more blood you give to the soul while fighting, the faster the resurrection time. Thus, they chose to follow you. It is about efficiency.”

If they obeyed out of their own free will, then it meant they could refuse out of their own free will. It was revealed why Elfin Stone was able to ignore Grid. However, Grid wasn’t convinced. “It doesn’t make sense. Doesn’t the Blood King have the authority to command all vampires, except Marie Rose? How can Elfin Stone exercise his own willpower against me?”

“I told you. You’ve misunderstood. The direct descendants don’t obey unconditionally just because you are the Blood King. Unlike ordinary vampires, who instinctively obey the Blood King, direct descendants have free will. That is why they can fight to become the Blood King.”

“No, then Tiramet...”

“If a direct descendant obeyed you since becoming the Blood King, then there is another reason. For example, you released the Curse of Sloth.”

“Ah...”

Grid confirmed the information of the Blood King title.
