Chapter 3571 The Awakened Vampire
“Your talent for the moon is truly amazing; I have never seen such pure moonlight.”
The vampire girl also praised Shad, giving him a faint smile, but then shook her head:
"Perhaps I really have gone astray, but sometimes a step behind can lead to a series of setbacks. You don't understand the struggles of the vampire clans. I don't have time."
Pushing open the gate and returning to the 25th floor, the moment the elevator door opened, a torrent of blood threatened to engulf the two people inside.
They remained vigilant, so as the blood rushed into the elevator, the spiral lines in Miss Novare's eyes reappeared, and the blood surged back in the direction it had come from.
All the crimson liquid flowed outwards along the door frame, as if a curtain had been drawn open to reveal the blood-soaked, crimson figure standing in the corridor.
This was the very thing that Shad had tried to ambush him after containing the demon, but was forced back by Miss Novare. He never expected it to reappear. This time, Shad could also clearly see the room number "2594" floating above its head.
【Dawn Breaks】slashed forward with pure silver moonlight, then the figure split open to the left and right, the sword wound piercing directly through its body. Only then did Shad realize that the other party was composed of pure blood, and the humanoid form was merely a shape formed by the accumulation of liquid.
"Heathon Sign!"
An expanding, golden spherical shield blocked the doorway, and the splattering blood evaporated instantly upon contact with the shimmering shield. Miss Novare took a deep breath, then spat out a mouthful of foul-smelling black blood, which passed through the shield and fell into the blood pool outside the door, turning the crimson blood black.
This must be some kind of extremely unique blood toxin. Although Shad couldn't discern the toxin's properties, the thing outside the door clearly knew the potency of that blood. All the blood that had been stained black was abandoned, left to spread uncontrollably through the cracks in the floor.
Meanwhile, the crimson figure outside the door manipulated the remaining blood into sharp cones, piercing the magic seal blocking the doorway. Already annoyed by the blood's excessive dispersion, Shad raised both hands:
"Sunlight rays! Moonlight rays!"
Golden and silver rays of light burst forth simultaneously from both hands, piercing through the shield and colliding with the condensed blood. The supreme and holy light rapidly dissolved the blood imbued with evil power, and even the power of the sun and moon resonated faintly, blasting a large hole in the blood and rushing directly towards the last crimson figure, evaporating its entire head.
But this didn't inflict fatal damage on the "liquid life form." After Shad's attack had a significant effect, it immediately retreated as before, trying to reabsorb all its red blood and disappear back into the darkness. But this time, Miss Noire wasn't going to let it go:
"Secret Technique - Blood Moon Returns!"
The leech's mouth split open in her right palm, and a red halo formed a swirling red vortex within it. The blood that had tried to escape flowed back towards her right arm, which was now gradually being covered in black, while the vampire witch's palm prepared to enjoy this "feast."
Just before the blood was about to be swallowed by that mouth, Shad placed his right hand on the red-haired witch's severely mutated right arm. The black, hardened skin felt terrible to the touch, and the power emanating from the evil creature's corpse gave him an urge to immediately swing his sword.
Shad said nothing, but simply grasped Miss Novare's right arm and looked at her. The vampire girl hesitated for a moment, but at the same time, she felt her right arm begin to uncontrollably draw blood toward her mouth in her palm.
It was as if her right arm had developed some kind of instinct, rebelling against her own consciousness, something that had never happened before.
She had been hesitant, but now, in a great shock, she made up her mind and gritted her teeth to forcefully suppress the power of her right arm. She ended the spell before the first drop of blood entered her "mouth" and stopped the mutation of her right arm, closing the crack in her palm.
This kind of resistance to one's own instincts is not easy; it is at least more difficult than an ordinary person forcibly stopping themselves from urinating.
The blood, having lost its appeal, gushed onto the floor, while the entity controlling it vanished into the darkness of the corridor, abandoning this part of its "body" like a gecko shedding its tail to survive.
"What happened just now?"
Miss Novare ignored the pool of blood and looked at her right hand with some surprise. Her right hand, now back to normal, was completely under her control. The "instinct" that had just resisted her will seemed to be just an illusion. She felt a little dizzy, as if she had suddenly woken up from a dream. The hidden dangers that she had deliberately ignored because she only saw the benefits were now churning in her heart.
Shad looked at the pool of blood on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then did not summon flames to evaporate it. Instead, he took out an empty wine bottle from his pocket, whispered an incantation, and held the bottle upside down so that the mouth of the bottle was facing the ground. The blood flowed into the mouth of the bottle and turned into blood wine.
Even after the cork was plugged in, the bottle was still shaking violently, the blood resisting Shad's spell. So Shad shook the bottle a few more times to make sure all the liquid had been transformed, then handed it to the vampire girl with very mixed feelings:
"While this isn't absolutely safe, you can take it away from here, back to your castle or laboratory, analyze its components, and then drink it. Vampires are meant to drink blood, and I can't say how effective it will be, but the taste will definitely be delicious."
The vampire girl, who had been biting her lip, wanting to talk to him about the strange thing that had just happened to her right arm, subconsciously took the bottle before suddenly realizing what Shad had done:
"This is...blood wine?"
"You actually know me? Oh, you're a twelfth-tier vampire witch, so it's normal that you know something about gods. Yes, Blood Brew. Didn't you immediately recognize that I received the blessing of your race's god? That's why I also learned the art of Blood Brew."
Miss Noire thought about this experience, and then about the other person's special nature:
"You have seen my lord, haven't you? Just like now."
Instead of answering the question, Shad pointed to her arm:
“You are a vampire by nature, and it would be too pathetic if you became one who relied on this to suck blood. I’m glad you listened to my advice this time. In any case, as long as you are willing to ask me for help, I will definitely help you.”
"Someone like you would have been very popular with witches in your own time."
"Huh? How do you know?"
For some reason, the red-haired girl laughed. Since their race's god had seen Shad and "taught" Shad the knowledge of blood brewing, and now such a person appeared in front of her and said that "vampires are meant to drink blood," she felt as if God was guiding her and giving this not-so-devout believer one last chance.
She glanced at her right arm, and after making up her mind, she felt much better:
"Let's go, there's still a lot to do, isn't there? After we finish investigating the 25th floor, we still have to climb up the stairs. I'm also missing the rare steaks cooked by the maids in my castle."
The evil creature that had attacked the two had vanished without a trace in the corridor, and even the lingering smell of blood in the 25th-floor corridor had faded considerably. Without wasting any time, Shad took out the key given to him by the god and sensed that his destination was a room on his left.
After passing through six doors on either side with Miss Novare, who was carrying a wine bottle and a torch, he saw room 2544 with its door open. Coincidentally, right across from this door was room 2530, where the Moon Beast was imprisoned.
"It's good to encounter an old god who is benevolent."
He dealt with the demons first, and after entering the room, he and Miss Novare quickly searched for supplies. Shad then retrieved the doctor's black dagger from the seal of the [Coffin of the Underworld]. The two stood at the door, and after Shad threw the increasingly violently trembling dagger into the room, the door was slammed shut and locked from the outside by Shad using the key given to him by the gods.
He even pressed his ear against the door to listen, but heard nothing.
"This coffin can be reused in the future."
Shade explained to Miss Novare, carefully put away the room key, and then turned to look at the room opposite.
The door to room 2530 was closed. Before pushing the door open and going in, Shad confirmed with his companion again:
"How did Miss Bicester deal with that moon beast? When we go in, will we be facing a newly recovered, enraged evil creature, or a severely wounded creature that can't move?"
"The werewolf lady didn't explain in detail at the time. She only said that the goal had been achieved and that I could rest assured that no matter what I encountered in the hotel, I would never encounter the moon beast that she had studied."
"Moon Beasts" are typical evil creatures related to the moon. According to information from Danist, these evil creatures were most likely born from the shattering of the original moon. They were terrifying life forms that were formed when unknown creatures that originally lived on the moon went out of control, went mad, and were mutated by a specific curse when the original moon collapsed.
According to records, its appearance resembles a hybrid of a wolf and a lion, with rather bushy fur. Its most important characteristic is that this evil creature possesses three forms, each corresponding to one of the three moons. If one form is injured or sealed, the moon beast can transform into another form, and in the new form, the injuries, negative effects, and even the seals of the old form will not exist.
The unique abilities they possess in their three different forms, such as "tainted moonlight," "flesh-devouring," and "chaotic aura," are equally troublesome. Coupled with their powerful spatial teleportation ability, if this evil entity were fully formed, its power would far surpass that of a thirteenth-ring sorcerer. Under the moon's illumination, even the witch emperors of the Fifth Era dared not easily confront them alone.
