Adam then asked questions that had been bothering him for quite some time.
How powerful was the Vampire King truly?
How many vampires did he have under his command?
The answers truly surprised him.
The Vampire King was far more powerful than Adam had anticipated. Even Aramen, the strongest among the councilors, could not last more than a few minutes against him.
That alone was enough to put things into perspective.
Aramen was a Templar Paladin. He stood at the pinnacle of strength within City Hall and was powerful enough to kill most monsters in the secret plane without much difficulty. Yet before the Vampire King, even he could barely survive for a few minutes.
And the most disturbing part was that Aramen's survival had not been the result of his own strength.
He had survived because Jacob had allowed him to.
The Vampire King could have killed him if he truly wished to. The fact that Aramen had walked away alive was merely the result of Jacob's passing whim.
