( Satan's POV ) 

Satan leaned onto the window of his massive tower as he looked at the battle unfold on the Eastern front with glee in his eyes. 

The corpses were piling up by the thousands every passing minute and the sheer amount of blood loss was causing the scent in the air to turn metallic. 

He could see Regus Aurelius looking at him from a distance, the red eyes of the Vampire Monarch staring straight into his soul causing goosebumps to rise all over his skin. 

" You're a powerful one, aren't you? " Satan said as he smiled so wide that even though a full five kilometres away, Regus could still notice the pieces of meat stuck between his teeth. 

Regus was patiently waiting for Satan to make the first move and had long expected him to jump into battle, but for some reason, Satan stayed put in his place as he admired the scenery outside his tower's window while being fully armoured. 

The longer he stayed put, the greater the uneasiness rose in Regus's stomach as he felt like the enemy was undoubtedly planning something bad. 

Regus kept scanning the battlefield nervously, trying to understand what his enemy's ploy was but could not find any signs of anomalies. 

As he once again looked at the horn-headed sovereign, Regus saw Satan's already wide smile widen even further as he mouthed the words " Boom " 

The instant he said this, a series of explosions rocked the entire Eastern Battlefield. 

It slaughtered Satan's forces and vampires alike as the entire clash zone where the two sides were fighting furiously was decimated in what could only be considered an indiscriminate attack. 

Regus's heartbeat quickened, this attack had claimed the lives of at least 2 million vampires and at least 3-4 million of Satan's own forces, however, he was quick to understand that it did not matter as to whose side died, as in the end they were all fuel for the ones who wished to take command of this Battlefront.

" RETREAT " Regus shouted once as immediately his orders were shouted again and again by the commanders and captains as they steadily began to pull back. 

The explosions that had rang across the battlefield was exactly the technique that Rudra had warned them against. 

It was none other than [Corpse Explosion] 

Regus had been on the lookout for that move from the start which is why he had given explicit orders to those that battled behind the vanguard to burn any dead bodies that they came across. 

This caution was the only reason why the loss of vampires was half compared to the loss in life of Satan's forces, however, the losses were still heavy since the biggest pile of dead bodies was always near the vanguard who did not have the luxury to burn them as they were constantly engaged in fighting. 

As multiple tier 6 necromancer's began to chant undead resurrection spells, the pressure mounted on Regus to act immediately. 

The enemy was playing dirty, not only did they cruelly sacrifice their own people to take down the vampires, but now they were raising them back as undead to keep fighting till their physical bodies could no longer keep up. 

In this battlefield, from here till the necromancer's were taken down, every dead would only turn into an enemy, meaning that the vampires were bound for a tiring fight with low chances of making progress. 

Naturally, Regus Aurelius could change the tide completely with only a flick of his hand, however, with Satan closely watching with a smile on his face, the question that Regus needed to ask himself was that if all this was just a bait?

( Meanwhile Lucifer ) 

" How many orbs are left to destroy? " Lucifer asked as his subordinate trembled at the question. 

" T-two, we tried to attack using 7 tier6 god's, however Patricia Won Knight was there to personally foil our attack, the six of them were killed while I barely survived my lord ". The subordinate answered, following which a second later his head rolled on the floor with blood viciously spurting all around. 

" I hate people who give excuses, it makes me feel angry " Lucifer said as he smashed his fist into his thigh as if trying to demonstrate his frustrations. 

" You, high demon, get the two orbs destroyed within the next hour, please don't test my patience " Lucifer said coldly as he instructed a new general to personally take up the task. 

" I shall do as the devil commands " the general answered and took his leave. 

Lucifer was extremely frustrated today, according to his plans the raid on the vampire base should have already started by now, however, the Won Knight family was giving him unexpected troubles. 

Gripping his sword which was embedded with the seed of darkness, Lucifer pointed it towards the light faction and began laughing like a madman. 

" Augustus Won Knight, Patricia Won Knight, someday soon I shall personally slaughter you both! 

Your name reminds me of that bastard Shakuni won knight and for the crime of being associated with him, I will execute you myself " Lucifer said as his voice sounded a bit hateful, unlike his usual satirical and playful tone. 

The seed of darkness was slowly but surely influencing the devil's mind. He was becoming corrupted by its power and was turning vengeful and hateful. 

Every tier10 seed came with great power but equally great drawbacks, which was the reason behind why the celestials did not dare use the seeds and let them be in the mortal universe. 

The seed of time invoked burning ambition within its user. 

Giving the promise of infinite time, it made the user believe that they should have infinite goals, which was why Angakok became dissatisfied with his peak tier8 powers and slowly became assured that becoming a celestial was his only goal. 

The seed of chaos inflated one's sense of self worth and superiority and was the reason behind Rudra slowly beginning to feel detached from the struggles of mortals and why the life and death of millions only bothered him slightly. 

The seed of darkness continuously brought out the worst hateful emotions in its user, crippling their patience to a point where a minor dissatisfaction over a matter could make them take a snap decision and take the life of another. 

The weaker one's mind was, the faster they were affected by the property of the seed and if the seed already resonated with their internal persona the effect was extremely exaggerated. 

The greater the influence of the seed on the user, the greater was the power that the user could bring out of the seed and the vicious cycle continually dragged one down the pit of insanity. 

The devil who was already hateful by nature, was quickly drunk by the power of the seed of darkness and losing himself to the hatred fast. 

Bordering on the edge of insanity, the devil was at a crossroad where he could discard all his properties as a fallen-angel and truly become the devil and the embodiment of all evil if he continued to delve deeper into the powers of the seed of darkness. 

The devil today, was more dangerous than ever to the point where he felt that if he could Tap into a bit more power of the seed of darkness, he could finally take down all three of his brothers at once in battle.
