Vexen was relishing the thought of gaining so much power in, so little time.
He decided to make a revision of his original plan, in this new plan of his, he would still climb the walls of Valenhurst, and sneak into the settlement, but in this new plan, he would make the vampires feel fear before they died, so he would have enough demonic energy for the whole mission.
Vexen knew that with each soul he devoured he would get stronger, and with the amount of vampires that would be killed he would be able to constantly regenerate health as well, in case he would have to fight. He planned on saving his strength, for when he faced the vampire lord.
Since it was almost morning, he started to travel to Valenhurst, since he knew that vampires were weaker during the day.
On his way, he found a group of goblins that would be useful to start a panic, so he killed them, and raised them as undead, there were 10 goblins in total that he raised.
Once he arrived at the walls of the vampire settlement, he ordered the goblins to go through the front gate and attack any vampire they came across.
Thats when all hell started to break loose, the goblins attacked every vampire they came across like Vexen told them to, even the women, and children, thats when the guards arrived, and also when Vexen did something that filled them with an even greater fear.
Vexen then made all of the slain vampires his undead minions, thats when the guards had a feeling of impending doom for their settlement, they thought they were dealing with zombies because of what Vexen did, and thats when they decided to shout, "ZOMBIES!, everyone get inside your houses NOW"! He then said to the guard next to him, "Jonas, you need to warn the lord of whats happening"! The guard named Jonas then replied, "Heading there now, I will make sure the lord knows, so that we can get some reinforcements"!
Jonas was running to the lords manor, when he felt like someone was following him, when he turned around, he saw a really odd looking man. The man had long, light green hair, pale gray skin, and two horns sticking out of his head. What was most odd about the man though were his eyes. His eyes had Dark purple sclera (white part of the eye), glowing green irises, and hourglass shaped pupils. When Jonas looked into the mans eyes, he felt a mysterious and horrifying presence staring right back. He felt like something something was grabbing onto his very soul, threatening to tear it out at any moment. Jonas now knew the true meaning of fear and hopelessness.
The man who was standing before Jonas was none other than Vexen, who was using his skill,{Demonic eyes of the Voidborn Revenant}, to instill a primal fear into Jonas's mind. Jonas knew that he would never stand a chance against this unknown man, so he decided to beg for his life.
"Please spare me your excellency, I will do anything you wish, just please let me live"!
Vexen found this amusing and decided to use Jonas as a messenger to the vampire lord.
"Alright, what is your name?, you worthless worm".
Jonas then replied, "My name is Jonas, oh great one".
"Alright Jonas, Here's what you're going to do, you are going to deliver a message to that pitiful lord of yours".
"And what might this message be my lord"? asked Jonas.
"Tell him, That the one who rose from the pits of anarchy, has come for his soul. He will understand what that means when you tell him". Vexen replied with a grin that almost seemed to extend pass his face.
"It will be done my lord"! Jonas fearfully said, as he started to run towards the vampire lords manor once more.
Vexen then said to himself in a low voice, "I'm just getting started".
He then decided to check his quest progress.

After he finished increasing his stats, he asked Ras how powerful he was compared to the vampire lord.
Ras then replied, [Believe it or not, You are actually 1.5 times more powerful than him at this moment. You should have no problems when you face that bloodsucker.]
Vexen then grinned to himself and told Ras "Thats fantastic, I can't wait to see the look on his face, when he realizes the same person he threw into that pit has come for his life".
"Hey Ras, how many souls would it take to make my {Demonic Voidborn Mana Matrix} increase a level"? Vexen asked. [It will take 100 souls to upgrade it at this moment.] Ras Answered.
Vexen then decided to upgrade his mana matrix to the next level.
