He is the 4th Direct Descendant of Progenitor Beriache who was defeated and sealed by Grid and some Overgeared Guild members. His soul is sealed in his bracelet *"Cray's Bracelet"*.

### Personality

Earl Cray is someone who shows little emotion. He treats humans like livestock playing around. He is especially prideful among the Earls and feels tremendous pride in the fact that he has inherited one of Beriache’s abilities. He gets really furious if someone demeans his abilities. Earl Cray was born naturally strong due to which he is easily provoked and is weak towards provocation of other people as shown during his conversation with Katz.

## History

He once fought Braham with *"6-Red Tails"* and was beaten up. He was a *"Marquis Candidate"*, but he was still incomplete. The reason he didn’t become a Marquis was because he could only control two Red Tails perfectly. Once he grew three tails, he could exert a higher destructive power, but he couldn’t control it.

One year ago. The master of the 9th Vampire City and Descendant of Progenitor Beriache, Earl Cray had left the city. He left for a ‘short’ meeting and said he would be back. Yet he still hadn’t returned. The Vampires of the 9th city had half given up, as the Curse of Idleness had a stronger effect on the top ranking Vampires.

## Story

### Gathering of the Earls

*Chapters 714-715*

Vampire Earl Cray was also present in the gathering of the Earls with the other 3 Vampire Earls, who were also the *"Direct Descendants of Progenitor Beriache"*.

They discussed that their 3 siblings named Elfin Stone, Tiramet, and Latina were defeated by humans and sealed. As *"Vampire Earl Elfin Stone"* was among the top members of the *"10 Direct Descendants"* including Braham. So they were very shocked after they got to know that *"Vampire Earl Elfin Stone"* was also defeated by humans alongside his siblings *"Vampire Viscounts Tiramet and Latina"*.

They also discussed if their siblings were defeated by the Legends like Muller. While discussing all these things they started to fall asleep due to the effect of fearful Curse of Idleness.

He was mentioned by some vampires of the 9th Vampire City. That one year ago. The master of the 9th city and descendant of Progenitor Beriache, Earl Cray had left the city. He left for a ‘short’ meeting and said he would be back. Yet he still hadn’t returned. The vampires of the 9th city had half given up. The Curse of Idleness had a stronger effect on the top ranking vampires.

The 4 Vampire Earls were later on revealed to be named Cray, Yetima, Ruson, and Noll.

### Encounter between the 4 Earls & Overgeared Guild, and Cray Raid

*Chapter 716-721*

Grid and his party members entered the 7th Vampire City. The familiars at the entrance of the city couldn’t threaten the Overgeared members. This was normal. But the 7th city was strange.

From the thick darkness, numerous familiars came from all directions. They were different from the other familiars. Their level was well over 50 and there were many of them. The Overgeared members became aware that they weren’t ordinary familiars.

It was a crisis! The Overgeared members were passive in front of the familiars’ onslaught. At this time Toban and Vantner came to the team's front and used *"Sun Guard"*. Splendid light poured from Toban and Vantner’s shields. It was a bright light that caused catastrophic damage to the familiars who had adapted to the darkness for tens and hundreds of years.

The wolf and bat familiars became blinded. They completely lost sight from the two shields and Vantner’s brightly shining head. The Overgeared members started the onslaught and barely overcame the crisis. But the real crisis was just beginning. There were some voices coming from the sky and weren't the voices of their party members. The party members were astonished at the voices that came from the sky.

Earl Cray, Earl Yetima, Earl Ruson and Earl Noll. The best monsters with gold names shining brilliantly, Four Elfin Stone level Vampires gathered and were looking down at them.

Grid thought, Why was it always him? Grid could only curse. Lauel said, *“How did this happen?”* Lauel’s eyes were shaken. According to the results of his research, the *"Direct Descendant Vampires"* were strongly affected by the *"Curse of Idleness"*. They didn’t leave their cities and slept in the coffins for tens or hundreds of years. It was against the setting for them to leave their cities and gather in a certain area.

Lauel started to get a headache as all 4 of them were *"City Lords"*. He was also stressed because the plan changed with unexpected variables. Lauel opened his trembling lips and apologized. As the initiator of the city conquest plan, he thought he should bear all responsibility. He wanted to sacrifice himself to give his colleagues time to retreat. But in order to escape from the vampire city, they had to defeat the owner of the city. Until then, they couldn’t leave the city. Lauel’s sacrifice wouldn’t solve the problem. The party’s chances of survival were zero.

He thought that his carelessness weakened the power of the Overgeared Kingdom. Lauel’s face was white and stricken. Someone placed a hand on the shoulder of the guilt-stricken Lauel. It was a big and warm hand. Lauel couldn’t not know the owner of this hand. Lauel turned his gaze and met Grid’s cool eyes. Grid said to him *"Use your brain if you have time to apologize. Isn’t this the time to be calm? Try it. Regain your spirit.”*

Lauel was aware of his weakness from a long time ago. If things flowed differently from his thoughts, he lost his composure and the ability to deal with it. This was a fatal weakness for a strategist. A strategist should be able to cope with any variable calmly and do their best.

There were four Earl class Direct Descendants Vampires. There was no possibility of fighting and winning. But he didn’t have the slightest intention of being helpless. This was Grid. Grid then again said to Lauel, *"Think while we buy some time. That’s the best thing we can do right now.”*

The morale of his colleagues had fallen to the bottom. Regas, who desired fighting against the strong, and Katz, who had a strong spirit, were fine. But not all members of Overgeared were the same. In particular, Ruby was terrified.

Grid looked up and flew into the sky. He would confront the four Direct Descendants alone. Grid used Blackening and Quick Movements.

Some thought that they would all die. Some Overgeared members were frustrated and desperate at the thought of losing experience and items. They belatedly noticed Grid soaring into the sky. Black demonic energy covered Grid’s body as he reached the four Direct Descendants.

Grid is someone who puts a lot of effort into survival. He was determined to grasp the power of the Direct Descendants and show the way to his colleagues.

The eyes of the four Direct Descendants, looking down at the humans with no inspiration, widened slightly. They thought a trivial human was coming to commit suicide but he was as agile as a flying squirrel.

A storm of dark energy blades poured out, Blood started to appear on the skin of the four Direct Descendants. They weren’t able to avoid the attack of Grid who had reached the highest speed.

Grid slightly grasped the agility of the direct descendants and performed a sword dance. This time he intended to measure their defense. Grid used Link. The 20 strikes per second, which was more powerful than normal, cut at the body of Earl Cray. The God Hands firmly guarded Grid against the counterattacks of other Earls and Grid identified the notification windows that came into view. The defense wasn’t at a very good level. It was slightly less than the defense of Third Knight Lorex. Grid had hope, *‘If we all join forces, we can hunt two of them.’*

Then Grid fell into an illusion for a moment. The blood that flowed from Earl Cray’s wounds rejected the laws of gravity. The drops of blood floated in the air. The large amount of blood shed by Earl Cray. The massive amount of blood gathered in the air and shot towards Grid. Grid’s face distorted with pain and shock once he was struck by the blood.

Earl Cray had a powerful blood-sucking ability. Earl Cray’s bloody attack didn’t stop at massive damage to Grid. 100% of the damage done to Grid was restored as Earl Cray’s health. Earl Cray wasn’t an intimidating opponent because his physical ability was relatively normal. Just as Elfin Stone specialized in swordsmanship and magic, and Tiramet specialized in physical abilities, Cray specialized in the ability to absorb blood. He wasn’t an easily dismissed opponent. As Grid was hit in the chest and started to fall to the ground, Cray’s hand grasped Grid’s face. Then Earl Cray used Blood Tornado.

Pillars of blood uncoiled around Earl Cray’s body like living serpents. They started to swirl in response to Earl Cray’s order. Grid’s body started to be torn apart, due to which Grid's title First King's effect unfolded and produced a shield with all the health lost in the last minute, along with his terrain adaptability was increased by 100% while movement speed and defense were increased by 10%.

The pillars of blood wouldn’t stop until the target was completely dead. Earl Cray, who was convinced that the man trapped inside would soon die, was amazed. It was due to the strong shield created around the human’s body.

The human body, which should’ve been torn easily in the bloody storm, suddenly started to resist the storm. This was because Grid swapped from Three Layers to the Holy Light Armor set.

Grid used Linked Kill. An energy blade shot through the storm. The terrible attack hit Earl Cray’s chest. Earl Cray coughed up blood and hurried away from Grid. He said, this was too interesting.

Unlike the others who suffered from the appearance of the four Direct Descendants, there was one person who was happy. He used Black Lightning Ascension. It was Asura Regas, who wished to fight strong opponents at any time. He couldn’t fly in the sky like Grid, so he climbed the wall of one building and jumped from the roof towards the four Direct Descendants. This was the point where Earl Cray moved away from Grid, due to which the attack seemed like a pincer attack.

Earl Cray was surprised when an enemy appeared in an unexpected place. Regas’ punch struck his face. At this time.

Jishuka used Fly Up, meanwhile Pon also used his skill Rail Spear. The other Overgeared members responded by starting the attack. 20 attack skills that killed the True Blood Vampires at once hit Earl Cray. The Overgeared members’ attacks caused Earl Cray’s wounds to increase, as well as the amount of blood shed. It was the prelude to a disaster. He was surprised to see that humans were so strong.

Earl Cray sincerely felt admiration. The number of blood pillars around his body increased from one to four. The more blood he shed, the stronger he became. This was the reality of Earl Cray. All of the Overgeared members, including Grid, tensed up. They couldn’t imagine how much stronger he had become now that he had four blood pillars.

Meanwhile other 3 Vampire Earls were discussing about Earl Cray's technique and his past. All three Direct Descendants, who hadn’t yet participated in the battle, were assured of Cray’s victory. Until a crazy person came forward.

Blood Warrior Katz. He had complained about why they had to all gather together to hunt. He had sat with folded arms when the party conquered the 9th and 8th cities, but now he declared to the Vampire Earls, *“I’m the master of all the blood in this world.”*

The eyes of all four Direct Descendants, including Cray, widened. It was because the four blood pillars around Cray’s body started to run wild.

The large amount of blood shed by Earl Cray. The four ‘red tails’ moved away from Earl Cray’s control and moved according to Katz’ will. The tails that should’ve killed Earl Cray’s enemies bit at his body instead. Earl Cray was nervous as the tails squeezed him and dug into his neck. He felt that the flow of blood wasn’t under his control! It felt like he was going to be crushed into powder.

The Vampires who perceived humans as a subspecies. In particular, Cray was a Direct Descendant, so the situation was very shocking and humiliating. Cray shouted, *"These humans dare trifle with my noble blood!”*

Earl Cray was someone who showed little emotion, despite being attacked by Grid and the Overgeared members. He just treated them like livestock playing around. But now he was different. His face was furious like a demon. The other Descendants watched him being threatened by his own tail and laughed.

Blood Ruler. It was one of Progenitor Beriache’s numerous titles. In her lifetime, she was the master of all blood. She could even use the blood of the target to control them. She showed the transcendental ability to control the blood in the body of any living creature.

The person who claimed to be the Descendant of the Blood Ruler was none other than Cray. Earl Cray was especially prideful among the earls and felt tremendous pride in the fact that he inherited one of Beriache’s abilities. But now he was suffering from humans. The other Earls thought it was funny and ridiculed him.

Earl Cray screamed at his laughing brothers. Two of the four tails moving from left to right were destroyed. The two remaining tails no longer reacted to Katz and followed Cray’s will. It was a scene proving that Earl Cray was still incomplete. The reason he didn’t become a Marquis was because he could only control two tails perfectly. Once he grew three tails, he could exert a higher destructive power, but he couldn’t control it.

He glared at Katz on the ground. After making a cruel declaration of murder, he used Direct Suppression. The Overgeared members started to tremble. Their stats declined dramatically as they felt a strong sense of anxiety. At that moment Ruby uses Purification. Saintess Ruby’s warm light covered the Overgeared members. The Overgeared members were able to overcome the fear and felt fine. Earl Cray and the other Descendants were surprised.

Every creature had a natural role. Just as livestock like pig were destined to be eaten by humans, humans were destined to be eaten by vampires. It was natural for humans to feel fear towards direct vampires. But what was this power that twisted destiny?

The Direct Descendants shifted their gaze from Katz to Ruby. The aggro shifted from Grid to Katz and now to Ruby. Regas, who fell to the ground after dealing a big blow to Earl Cray, felt alienated.

While the Direct Descendants were staring at Ruby, Regas’ body started to transform. It was the precursor to the descent of an Asura.

Katz said to him, *"Why are you turning into an Asura when you can’t even fly in the sky?”* Regas and most of the Overgeared members couldn’t exert their full strength while the Direct Descendants were floating in the sky. Katz decided to change this. He took advantage of the fact that Earl Cray had a big grudge against him. Katz snorted as loudly as possible for Earl Cray to hear. He shrugged at Earl Cray, who proclaimed that he would kill Katz.

He spoke provocative words, his thinking ability was always keen and calm. On the other hand, Earl Cray was born naturally strong. There were few competitors and he wasn’t used to fighting. He had a high pride and quickly lost his cool. Earl Cray roared! His eyes moved from Ruby back to Katz.

Cray used Magic Power Emission. As soon as Earl Cray fell to the ground, it was shattered by the magic power he emitted. The entire city was shaken by the powerful shock, including Katz and the Overgeared members.

According to Katz’ calculations, the maximum time that Katz could control Earl Cray’s tail was only one minute. Yes, even if Earl Cray hadn’t reduced his tail to two, the tails would’ve eventually reverted back to Earl Cray’s control. But Earl Cray didn’t know this. He reduced his tails to two and Katz looked big.

Katz flew forward with his sword that contained a powerful blood-sucking ability. The attack speed was around three times slower than Grid’s full buff state. However, Earl Cray wasn’t specialized in physical abilities. He couldn’t avoid Katz’ attack and was stabbed in the chest. Katz’ sword penetrated Earl Cray’s heart. Earl Cray’s two tails spread out like a net and swallowed Katz’ body, squeezing tightly. It was a lasso of blood. Katz was unable to counterattack. His health was cut by two thirds with a single strike. But Katz knew that it was enough right.

Earl Cray reduced the number of tails and came down to the ground because of Katz. He had abandoned his strengths. Katz now believed that his colleagues could take care of it. It was a strong trust. Katz was now melting into the Overgeared Guild. His colleagues repaid his trust.

Toban and Vantner rescued Katz from the blood lasso and hid him behind their shields. Then Regas transformed in Asura, Chris raised his Sword Energy to the limit, and Pon rode on a white horse before simultaneously attacking Earl Cray. This wasn’t the end. Jishuka’s arrows, Zednos and Laella’s magic, and Lauel’s qigong skills assisted their colleagues.

Ibellin’s ‘Thorn of Deep Grievance’, which inflicted damage to the target in proportion to their health, moved at the perfect timing and struck Earl Cray’s heart. All of this was possible due to the healing abilities of Saintess Ruby.

The three Direct Descendants were still watching her. They could feel her mental and physical pressure as she sequentially used magic. They said, *“This isn’t good. It’s a dangerous presence.”*

No matter what happened to Earl Cray, the Direct Descendants just laughed and watched. But their reaction was different towards Ruby. There was no room for it. The Vampires instinctively sensed danger from the Saintess, who could even destroy the souls of Great Demons.

The three Directs Descendants moved to the ground and surrounded Ruby.

Saintess’ Knight Sexy Schoolgirl always tried to protect Ruby. However, it was impossible for the level 200 Sexy Schoolgirl to protect Ruby from the Direct Descendants who were stronger than the top rankers. She could block a few attacks with the Sacrifice skill but that was the limit.

Dark magic power flowed from the hands of the Direct Descendants towards Ruby’s small face. Ruby sensed death while the Overgeared members sought to rescue her, but they were caught by Earl Cray.

The two tails swirled in all directions and swept through the Overgeared members. The Overgeared members were turned into rags but didn’t care. They only reached out to Ruby. Everyone in the Overgeared Guild knew she was the most important person in this raid. But unlike their eagerness, the distance between them and Ruby was too far. The hands of the Overgeared members didn’t reach Ruby.

On the other hand. Grid was already next to Ruby. He felt hope the moment Katz appeared and played an active part. He had been sitting in a corner and using Item Combination. He combined the Lightning Sword Born from Enlightenment and Strong Desires with Failure.

He used Revolve, and returned the dark magic aimed towards Ruby back towards the Direct Descendants with greater damage. In the process of fighting Earl Cray, his Fighting Energy increased and his purple and red aura became thicker. Grid’s fighting energy exploded as he shouted, *“God Hands! Noe! Randy! Iyarugt!”*

It was the God Hands armed with Mjolnir, Noe the best demonic beast of hell who temporarily took away the highest stats of the target and transferred it to his master, Randy who transformed in Grid, and the best swordsman of hell, Iyarugt. Everyone appeared at the same time and tied up the feet of the direct descendants for a while. Grid opened Rune of Darkness and Blacksmith's Rage. Grid maximized his damage. Then he used his ultimate move, Linked Kill Wave Pinnacle.

He used the strongest skill in Satisfy on Earl Cray, who already had large wounds. Earl Cray’s eyes widened. No, it seemed he was trying to figure out why he was attacked when the other three Direct Descendants were nearby.

At that time Huroi shouted instead of Grid, answering the question, as such *"I always hit the weakest one!”*

He was weak? Earl Cray became agitated and his defense fell. The consecutively exploding red lightning bolt and black flames combined with the option of increasing attack power in the dark and the option of increasing skill damage hit him.

## Quotes

* (To Grid about Elfin Stone's Ring): *“Ohu, that’s right. That ring shows that you’re the human who sealed Elfin Stone.”*
* (To Grid about Elfin Stone): *“Looking at this, Elfin Stone must be pathetic. Well, unlike me, he wasn’t a candidate to be a marquis.”*
* (To Overgeared members): *"These humans dare trifle with my noble blood!”*
* (To Katz about controlling his Red Tails): *“You..! This garbage dares to give me such shame!”*
* (To Katz): *“Die...! I will remind you that you are just prey! I will bite your neck, suck your blood, and eat all your flesh and hair!”*
* (To Grid about pitying him): *"...A human is taking pity on me. You should be careful of Marquis Fenrir and Duke Marie Rose. Fenrir inherited two powers from Mother and Marie Rose is the second coming of Mother...”*

## Notes

* Due to the effect of Grid's title *"Blood King"*, once he is unsealed like his brother Tiramet, his soul will be liberated from the *"Curse of Idleness"*, and will also become a complete being. *All the Vampires except Marie Rose are subjects/vassals under the Blood King*. So when his soul is liberated from the *"Cray's Bracelet"*, he will also have to serve under Grid like Tiramet and Noll.
