Eldritch Creature's Guide

Frederik Von Habsburg was only using the Blood Church to gain access to the 10th Floor of the Tower and locate the Heart Blood of the Holy Legendary Level Arrakian sandworm as that was the aim of the Habsburgs all the time.

It didn't take long for the core members who were under the command of Frederik Von Habsburg and were either members of the Blood Church or the Habsburg House to pack up everything of remote value, taking all valuables, remains of the sandworms that they dug up and precious Heart Blood of the beast.

Just looking at a few ruby-like crystals, one could see the tremendous psionic power that the blood contained. Everything was soon enough stored in the Dimensional storage as the magitek device was activated and created a portal in the secret hidden room on the bottommost level of the fortress.

"Everything is ready; we can go..."

Said the second in command to Frederik Von Habsburg as they started evacuating, seeing that the portal was successfully launched, something that even he seriously doubted.


Still, it appeared that Lady Luck was indeed on their side this time because everything went according to the plan and they would be able to leave this Floor with their loot and Von Habsburg House would become a new player on the Cosmos-scale with the Psionic Abilities of the Arrakian Sandworms.

And while they were escaping, hundreds of vampires were instantaneously drained of their very own being; their Life Force, their Mana, their Souls and their Blood was taken to support the activation of the Magitek Teleportation device that transported the small numbers of people out of the 10th Floor of the Tower.

For the first time in the New Era, Congregatrion would give birth to a new Pale Blood Lineage and this one would be one of the strongest ones due to absolutely frightening Psionic Capabilities from the Arrakian Sandworms.
Unaware to the House Von Habsburg that they took the Core of Arrakian Sandworm, which almost reached the Annulated State and became full-fledged Transcendent.

Meanwhile, Samiel, who was continuing his spell barrage on the fortress, suddenly noticed tremendous spikes of energy like someone was casting some sort of ritual or whatever and felt that vampires started dropping dead like flies one after another in the fortress.

'They managed to create a working teleportation Magitek device and probably sacrificed all other members to ensure its safe functioning... dammit, that means that they found something so precious it was worth risking getting shredded by a void or found by something that is living in there... whatever it is, I am sure that I will hear about it soon in the future.'

Samiel thought as he couldn't get closer to the truth, even though he was obviously completely unaware of it right now. He was aware that the possibility of such things working on the 10th Floor were not very high, but apparently, the vampires had luck on their side as well...

He then stopped the barrage of spells that he was casting at the military headquarters of the vampires.

With the bats escaping the 10th Floor, it meant that they obtained their territory of the Tower without much resistance, as most of them were killed in the headquarters in an attempt to boost up the efficiency of the Magitek Teleportation Device.

'At least this makes our job much easier.'

Samiel thought as he sent a message to Juulius about what had happened. While it was clear that orks were disappointed beyond belief that their enemies were killed even before they could put up some resistance, but nevertheless.

Samiel wanted for the incoming army to arrive as they secured the perimeter of the fortress and started clearing it out. Samiel was met with great disappointment when he found out that there was nothing of even remote value in the headquarters because they had taken everything with them during their evacuation effort; that much was clear to all of them.

"It seems that you are pretty disappointed that the vampires chose to escape from here."

Samiel's train of thought was disrupted by Yvraine, who came up to him as he was standing in front of the entrance to the fortress. Indeed his mood was pretty down from the fact that the bats teleported out, but he had to admit that it was the most logical course of action that they could have taken.

Fighting was not an option because they would be surely killed, so considering the fact that they found something very precious in there, it was clear that it was enough for them to risk getting lost in the Void over it.

"Yes, I was in anticipation of a good battle."

Samiel watched how the forces of orks and Undeads started clearing out the fortress; naturally some of the Undead had already started repairing the damages that Samiel had done to the place because the fortress was placed in a strategic location.

It was close to the center of the entire Bone Motuanins and was carved into the enormous mountain. Its position was very good, easily defensible against potential invaders and that was committing its enormous size.

Thus Dharzug chose the fortress to become their main headquarters because they would not have done better compared to the vampires. Why build something new when they can just take over and make some adjustments?

"Now what?"

Yvraine asked as she stood next to Samiel, who was looking into the distance, his sight aimed at the territory of the Church of Lolth as he revealed a predatory grin thinking it over.

"We consolidate and march forward the territory of Spider Queen; perhaps we can conduct a few ambushes on her forces and cut her forces down significantly without a head-on confrontation."

They could either attack the Church of Lolth or the Cult of the Fallen Prince and Samiel didn't want to deal with the demons and daemon worshippers right now, not to mention he was certain that Yvraine would be happy to go and kill a few drows.

So his decision was also influenced by the thought of making his lady happy, which she certainly was when she heard that.
