The ghoul took a full physical hit from him and was unscathed. From what he can see, they have something like the complete body of law a titan of law. Except that the law that formed their body is the law of order so it is as resistant as the bodies of Origin gods.
They are also very strong apart from being durable. The ghoul was able to tear his arm away instantly with a single grip while it wasn't injured at all when he kicked it. All of these show that he should avoid more encounters with the ghoul. But how can he do that if he can't evade the ghoul?
His eyes suddenly lit up with an idea, "If I can't lose it, then I should offer it something better."
He got an idea that he thought might work. He didn't think much about it and he decided to execute it immediately. He doesn't have the leisure time or the opportunity to be picky so he used his eye of life to scan around for a scapegoat that he can sacrifice.
He is looking for something that the ghoul will prefer to attack above him. He found the perfect target immediately and began digging in its direction. His eye of life had locked on to his target while the ghoul had locked on to him. The two of them moved through the earth like a train.
He breached another underground space after a few minutes of digging. This underground space is occupied by several covens of vampires. The Vampires are just waking up but they are not lazying about like they usually do.
The atmosphere seems hectic. The Vampires and their familiars are rushing about to evacuate as soon as possible. The leaders of the covens can be seen anxiously directing their subordinates to pack quickly.
It seemed to him that they were trying to leave the underground caverns as soon as possible. What he heard confirmed his conjecture.
"Be quick." They yelled. "The ghouls are coming."
"How did they find out so soon?" Ragnarok asked himself after seeing all the activities.
He expected them to still be ignorant of the calamity coming their way since the demon god couldn't track him. But they have obviously become aware that the Ghouls have been let loose. That means someone told them. The only ones who knew his whereabouts were the fountain of life whom he still can't find and Rinoz. One of them must have told the Vampires.
"Or maybe they have a method to detect the ghouls. They managed to seal them the first time. This is not the first time that the demon god is facing Ghouls either. It must be an expert at defeating them considering the success of the Vampire race throughout the realm."
He thought of a reason why the Vampires might have become aware of his crazy antics. It is very likely that he is right. It is certainly more likely than the fact that the fountain of life or Rinoz betrayed the plane and warned the Vampires.
"If I am wrong and someone did betray the plane, then the plane is doomed far more than I thought."
"But if I am right and the Vampires found out on their own, then I mustn't allow the demon god to defeat the Ghouls this time around." He looked back at his pursuer and sighed. "I shouldn't have kicked the hornet's nest. But if this works, then I will help the Ghouls."
The ghouls are dangerous but he is still not going to give up on them. They are the only ones he can count on to harm the Vampires in a devastating and significant manner. He is counting on them to render the plane unpalatable to the demon god.
He made up his mind to help them in their mission. Then he flew straight towards the strongest Vampire that he could find. This Vampire is surrounded by other vampires so they should prove a more worthy target than him.
The Vampires noticed him flying at them. One of them began to shout, "Who are y..."
Then they shut up and paled when they recognized him. He is the only monarch with horns that they know. And if they don't know him, then he must be a new and previously unknown monarch. There is only one Monarch that fits the bill.
They turned on their heels and ran for it. He is notorious amongst the Vampire kind right now.
Just yesterday, a few hours ago, some Vampires died in their sleep. They didn't wake up after sleeping when the sun came up. Their bodies broke into a pool of blood wherever they lay.
These ones that survived noticed the missing vampires and also noticed something peculiar. All the Vampires that died have one feature in common. They all had weirdly long tongues when they were alive and they could regenerate from having their heart crushed. It meant that they were of one lineage and there is only one reason why Vampires of the same Lineage will die en mass like that.
The death of an entire lineage of Vampires spread panic through the Vampires. Something like that has only happened during the first war against the wood elves which led to the Vampires being forced to stay underground. The fact that it happened to the lineage that is most difficult to kill is the most frightening part of the loss.
They then found out that this was caused by a single malevolent force. That same malevolent force that killed a Primogenitor who is supposed to be most unkillable just happens to be at their doorstep right now. It is understandable that they will panic.
Ragnarok wasn't in the mood to allow them to escape. He directed the three deadly beads of devouring to attack them. The beads didn't kill them. He only crippled them by smashing their heads. They are still alive and are regenerating quickly. What will happen to them in this incapacitated state is another thing entirely.
