Chapter 498 The Forbidden Library, The Academic World (3)
isla looked back at him, but she shook her head.
"no... i just felt like i remembered things that made me cry." she said, wiping away tears. "although i can't understand what it was, i think paul hoffman was someone very close to us."
matthew then nodded. "i see... i can't remember anything yet."
honestly, it didn't feel right for him. but he was sure he must remember soon.
and if delving into the books of that time was a way to remember, he would read every book here.
with a determined look, he turned to the second volume.
it wasn't long, and it talked about the dietrich era again.
but this time in a slightly different way.
-was the dietrich clan exterminated? possibly.
i personally never got to see the corpses, but the last battle had too many powerful people to think otherwise.
i'll start by saying this, in case someday you damned hill clan bastards read my book. you should know that i, paul hoffman, hate you and will hate you until the end of my days. i am an immortal vampire; my immortality was granted to me by my lord, the father of power!
he whom you worshipped in the beginning, but then you bit his hand! the great dietrich!
with my immortality in hand and being perhaps the only one who still retains the true vampiric immortality, i will fight against you, traitors. someday, i will bathe in the blood of all of you, for you were the main culprits. good luck in your lives, and thank our father of power for the fact that you now rule.
with a rather aggressive introduction packed with precious information, matthew was already immersed in the story. one of his questions had been answered, but a new one was created in the same introduction.
still, the story had just begun.
soon, he found himself immersed in a journey as to why a clan is considered a saint.
-no one, not even i, knows how many sacrifices the dietrich clan made to make that mission succeed. what i am sure of is that there was a very big plan behind it, which only the great dietrich and his heir could know.
i can only say that, in the final battle for the supremacy of the races, all the existing races participated. even monsters and terrifyingly powerful and gigantic existences were present—even the treachery of the hill clan and numerous smaller clans, organizations, and so on.
they feared something: the coming of the prophecy.
the prophecy of a new era.
that was the end of the 3 volumes of the dietrich era. without realizing it, matthew had read both final tomes in a moment, getting precious information on everything he wanted.
the betrayal of the hill clan. it was specified that it took place after the sun was destroyed, taking advantage of that moment and its night.
it was a final battle for supremacy, which left the doors open for many things. who won it? the vampires? for now, matthew doesn't know because, for some reason, he feels those things are far away.
this complemented what he already knew about the vampire prosperity organization allied with clan hill to betray the race, which could mean that the vampires were perhaps the winners of the final battle for supremacy, with clan hill rising in the end.
however, one more issue was mentioned that went unanswered. were the extremely powerful people not identified within any of the races infiltrators from the other races? or were they a new race? where did they live?
also, the arrival of a supposed prophecy mentioning a new age meant it was interesting to read.
as matthew prepared to close the book, he noticed that there was still one more page, which seemed to be a bit stuck to the last page, which is why he hadn't noticed it.
the page had almost nothing written, simply a few final words.
-to answer the question i started with... i cannot know if the dietrich clan was exterminated.
it has been a while since their fall, and i can't understand much of what i saw in those days. i have been looking for the corpses of our leaders for a long time, but i have not been able to find them. my faith remains intact that they have not been exterminated, but i must acknowledge a reality. that day, there were too many strange, gigantic, and very powerful existences.
perhaps they were devoured by those strange beasts, or perhaps they were kidnapped. the world is in chaos and probably won't last long; i leave my writings behind as evidence of what was once the greatest age of the vampire race.
