"Deacon, something terrible has happened! The Wizard Society, led by that old heretic, is about to break in…"
The silver-haired female Vampire reported in a panic, "Victor, that old guy is extremely powerful. If you don't complete the summoning ritual quickly, it might be too late."
But the next instant, the figure who had been standing in the center of the altar had already appeared before her.
His crimson eyes gleamed with an eerie light.
Blood God raised a hand, pinching the female Vampire's chin, and sneered, "Sorry, Mercury, I'm no longer Deacon. From today onwards, you should call me My Lord Blood God!"
… … … …
… …
Blood God Sect's main entrance.
Victor silently watched Selene across from him, the hint of warmth on his face gradually turning cold. Without turning his head, he instructed the people behind him:
"You all continue to charge inside and kill, don't let any Blood God Sect members escape. I will catch up and rendezvous with you as soon as possible."
Apparently, he had already sensed something from Selene's words and her cold, furious gaze.
Family shame should not be aired publicly!
As a monarch, Victor must always maintain his flawless image in front of his subordinates.
Naturally, he was unwilling to let them witness the upcoming scene of 'father's resignation and daughter's laughter'.
"Hypocrite!"
Selene furiously rebuked, "You not only deceived me, but you also used me for over six hundred years… You killed my parents."
"Forgive me, my child…"
Victor's face showed no change upon hearing this.
Clearly, he felt no guilt for the crimes he had committed.
Instead, he put on a look of profound regret and lectured Selene:
"You're right, I did take your parents' lives… But that's not important, because what I bestowed upon you is far more precious than what you lost!"
"In my opinion, this was an extremely fair transaction, and even more beneficial for you."
"I granted you pure bloodline and Eternity of life, cherished you like my own daughter, and allowed you to enjoy the glory of a princess…"
"Stop your hypocritical face!"
Selene's eyebrows shot up, interrupting furiously, "Do you think I don't know how your own daughter, Sonia, died?"
"Burning your own daughter alive with sunlight, such a brutal and inhumane act, only someone like you could commit it."
"Bastard!"
Victor instantly flew into a rage upon hearing this, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared furiously:
"What do you know? I loved my daughter… But she shamelessly became pregnant with a werewolf's bastard, which was the greatest betrayal and blasphemy to the pure bloodline I bestowed upon her!"
"What else could I do? Of course, I had to kill her myself."
"You short-sighted people will never understand. Everything I've done is to protect the Wizard Society's bloodline, so it doesn't become mixed like other clans. This is the only reason our clan has survived for so long…"
"And now, it seems I have no choice but to do it again. Your recklessness leaves me no alternative."
"Selene, don't blame me. You shouldn't have known those past events… You chose the wrong path, and you will ultimately miss out on glory."
Victor slowly raised the longsword in his hand, a look of profound regret on his face, which almost made Selene want to vomit.
Old scoundrel, still trying to manipulate me now?
"Tonight, I will personally cut off your head to sacrifice to the souls of my parents!"
Selene slowly drew a broadsword from her back and walked towards Victor.
"Child, if you're trying to attract my attention this way, and then have that human hiding in the shadows ambush me, I advise you not to waste your effort."
Victor glanced at Frank, who was hiding in a dark patch of grass dozens of meters away, observing through a scope, and sneered:
"As a noble Bloodkin, you seek help from a lowly human. How degenerate and incompetent! I feel shame and disgrace for your actions."
"Since you want to fight… Fine, I'll grant your wish."
"But don't forget, my bloodline flows through you. Even if I stand here motionless and let you strike, do you have the courage to do it?"
"You're wrong!"
Selene swung her sword and coldly shouted, "With the help of Boss, I have undergone a complete sublimation, and that human is merely here to witness my revenge."
"Today, no one can interfere with my battle!"
Clang—
Victor's face showed disdain as he casually raised his sword to meet the attack.
But at the instant the blades met, he suddenly felt a terrifying force emanating from the sword.
He was caught off guard.
His expression changed dramatically. Using his seasoned skill, he redirected the force from the sword to the outside of his body and quickly withdrew his sword to counterattack.
Swish—
Selene's reaction was equally sharp.
While sliding forward on her knees to evade the attack, she immediately seized the brief moment when the opponent's old strength had waned and new strength had not yet emerged, swinging her sword upwards to strike.
Pfft—
Streaks of blood trickled down the long, narrow wound on Victor's right cheek.
Although it was just a minor superficial wound, it caused no substantial damage.
It caused immense shock in his heart.
"What… You… You actually dare to harm your Master?!"
Victor seemed to have suddenly realized something, exclaiming in disbelief, "Have you broken my bloodline suppression?!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible… No Bloodkin can break the shackles of a superior's bloodline. This has never happened in a thousand years!"
Victor was so surprised because in the Vampire tradition, converted lower-level dependents would be subjected to dual suppression from both bloodline and soul when facing their superior Vampire.
This would cause their strength to plummet.
For the entire Vampire race, this was an almost unshakeable sacred iron law and principle.
It was precisely due to the existence of this bloodline inheritance mechanism that the rights and prestige of the pure-blood Elders were protected.
At the same time, it allowed the entire Vampire Empire to stand tall throughout the changing tides of history.
Just now, Victor had chosen such an arrogant approach based on this outdated notion.
However…
Selene proved with her actions that even sacred and unshakeable laws would eventually be broken!
This almost overturned Victor's long-held Worldview.
In addition to that.
When Victor carefully observed the other party, he could even clearly feel that Selene's overall strength seemed to have become much stronger than before.
Doubt, anger, jealousy, fear, and deep longing and greed…
All sorts of complex emotions began to warm and ferment in Victor's heart.
After sidestepping a sword thrust from Selene, he immediately grabbed her sword-wielding arm and hysterically demanded:
"Tell me, what exactly happened to you?!"
"Wait a minute… Is all of this related to that Boss you just mentioned?"
"Who is he? Why can he help you break the bloodline suppression?"
Undoubtedly, Victor also wanted to achieve such an astonishing improvement.
Selene did not answer his questions.
A sharp glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.
While struggling to break free, the longsword in her hand once again slashed diagonally, "If you want to know, wait until I cut off your head, then I'll slowly tell you in your ear!"
Clang, clang, clang—
The longswords in their hands continuously clashed in mid-air.
The more experienced Victor seized an opening and kicked Selene to the ground. Then, he pressed on, grabbing her ankle, and roared furiously:
"You vile traitor, you will not receive even a shred of my mercy or compassion."
"Later, I will drain all the blood from your body, and then I will personally find the answer within it… This is the punishment you deserve!"
Victor at this moment was like a little girl in a frenzy after her beloved doll had been snatched away.
He suddenly exerted force with his arm, actually lifting Selene's body upside down.
But the latter, using her hands as feet, leveraged the force to twist her body, performing a Thomas flare, and re-stood while breaking free from the restraint.
"Humph."
A cold glint flashed in Victor's eyes. The longsword in his hand struck out like lightning, hitting Selene's back and leaving a gruesome wound deep enough to reveal bone.
Blood instantly stained her smooth back.
Selene felt an unprecedented immense pressure.
Swish, swish, swish—
Facing the continuous powerful attacks, Selene could only grit her teeth and endure.
Although her strength had greatly increased after consuming the Evolutionary Blood, making her capable of directly confronting Victor in terms of power.
However, almost all of her combat techniques had been taught by him personally.
So, often, just as she made a move, Victor had already predicted her attack.
For a time.
Selene found herself in a very dangerous situation.
Therefore, she could only choose to defend passively first.
But Victor, who was eager to obtain her "evolution" secret, clearly had no intention of giving her more opportunities.
Gorgeous and deadly sword slashes enveloped her like a curtain of rain.
Seeing no escape, Selene prepared to trade her life for his, to perish together with Victor.
However.
Just then, an eight-pointed star-shaped "rune" suddenly appeared on her forehead.
The corner located in the [Southeast] direction glowed with a mysterious purple light.
Along with it came a surge of immense psychic energy that instantly filled her entire body.
Buzz—!!!
Selene opened her mouth and let out a piercing shriek.
The high-energy sound waves, imbued with mysterious psychic energy, actually formed visible ripples in the air.
Large, spiderweb-like cracks immediately appeared on the longsword Victor was swinging down, and then it shattered inch by inch.
Even his right arm, which was swinging the sword, exploded in the impact of the sound wave, revealing bare bones.
Bang—
Victor's body seemed to be struck head-on by an invisible giant fist, flying straight backward.
But Selene's speed was even faster than his.
She flashed past like a swirling black whirlwind.
When she reappeared, she already held a human head in her hand, while Victor's body had just fallen to the ground from mid-air!
…
[Detected collectible soul, Warp soul count +1]
[prestige points +74, +99, +13…]
…
"Too bad, it seems you can't hear the answer now."
Selene looked at Victor's head.
His face was still frozen in the expression of terror and confusion from the moment before death.
Selene shoved a UV grenade into Victor's mouth, then, pulling the pin, she soccer-kicked it high into the sky.
Boom—
Brilliant blue-purple light exploded in the dark night sky.
Victor's head was instantly annihilated.
Selene, who was also exposed to the UV light, remained unharmed.
Seeing her great revenge fulfilled.
Selene's delicate body swayed slightly, then she collapsed weakly to the ground.
The surging power that had just filled her body now receded like a tide, instantly withdrawing along with the dissipating purple "rune" on her forehead!
She felt as if all her strength had instantly drained away, leaving her with a somewhat unreal, illusory sensation.
"Did I really do it?"
"I actually killed Victor? Killed that superior Vampire Elder who transformed me into a dependent?"
"I… I finally avenged my parents?!"
At this thought, Selene could no longer control the emotions she had suppressed for so long, and two lines of hot tears slowly streamed from her eyes.
For the past six hundred years.
Selene could say she lived entirely for revenge.
A strong will for revenge guided and dominated her, pushing her forward relentlessly.
But now…
She could finally live for herself.
At this moment, Selene felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
The great mountain that had long weighed on her heart had finally been removed.
And all of this was thanks to that man.
Selene's heart was filled with gratitude for Karl.
She understood that if she hadn't met this man and gained his appreciation.
Then she would probably have been kept in the dark by that cunning old Victor her entire life.
Similarly.
If it weren't for the Evolutionary Blood bestowed by Karl.
No matter how hard she struggled against fate, she simply couldn't defeat Victor, who possessed absolute bloodline suppression.
Even the mysterious power that suddenly appeared at the critical moment of life and death was regarded by Selene as a blessing from Karl to her.
After all, hadn't that man said… what kind of Demon God was he? (Though I didn't believe it then)
Just as she had previously sworn.
Selene now regarded Karl as her new King, and the God who saved her from the endless abyss of revenge!
"Alright, Mr. Cassel, we can leave here now…"
Just as Selene regained her footing and prepared to leave the manor, a sudden round of applause rang out behind her.
Clap, clap, clap—
"Very good, your battle just now was excellent."
Blood God stepped out from the castle gate, a sinister smile on his face, and a hint of admiration!
