The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the deserted hallway. The chill of the autumn night and the north wind would occasionally enter the house through the gaps in the windows that were not tightly shut. The people who had not yet changed into winter clothes pulled up their open collars and muttered to themselves about the unpredictable autumn weather. Sometimes, they would shiver and sneeze.
They would close the windows again and adjust the window frame to reduce the leakage of wind. The girls could not help but think of the rubber that their teacher used on the car. Perhaps it would be a good idea to get some to close the windows.
Rubbing their hands together to warm up their fingers that had been chilled by the night wind, the two girls prepared to move on to the next location.
Tonight, only the faint moonlight shone into the house through the windows. The hallway was still dark.
In fact, with a certain someone's attainment in the Illumination Spell, he had already been able to light up the room as people moved forward a few years ago. However, this function was turned off because the two fat boys did not sleep in the middle of the night and used the fact that it was still bright outside as an excuse.
So, a certain someone made up his mind and returned the house to its original state, allowing those who needed it to move forward with the lamp. He also used the darkness to scare the two boys. However, it was not effective. The dark hallway made the two fat boys bolder. The only change was that everyone had to walk with the lamp in hand at night.
Compared to the ordinary oil lamps that other people used, the one that Kaya held in her hand was the Undying Flame created by Fen. It was a flame that used many sinful souls as fuel.
As a legendary creation, the Undying Flame's only use was for illumination. Most people thought so too. However, when they actually touched it, they realized that it was far more than just illumination. How could souls that had been burned for eternity be content with the status quo? Even if they could not break free from such a predicament, it did not stop them from cursing others all the time.
Therefore, the oil lamp that contained the Undying Flame was not something that anyone could use. Not to mention holding it for a long time, a normal person could go crazy if they stared at the flame for too long. In this house, the only person who could use the Undying Flame, other than the creator, the Lich, was Kaya. As for a certain someone … did he even need to hold an oil lamp?
Other than the problem with the flames, the places that were illuminated by the flickering light also looked a little strange. Strange colors flashed from time to time, revealing an ominous feeling.
Of course, perhaps this ominous and strange feeling wasn't entirely brought about by the inextinguishable flames.
More and more intruders infiltrated the house. The number of intruders was unprecedented. What was even stranger was that the Detection Magic from within the house was constantly warning Hallumi and Kaya through the Head Coffin. However, the patrolling girl was unable to find any signs of an intruder in the real world. There was only a lingering stench lingering in his nose.
Not a human being?
The two girls thought of the same answer at the same time. However, they remained calm and collected as they walked along the corridor that seemed to be filled with squirming flesh walls. The darkness in front of him became more and more unfathomable, as if it was going to swallow him whole.
Was this an illusion? Or had he really walked into the stomach of some kind of creature in a hallucination?
Under this powerful interference, not only was the vision of the two girls affected, even the illumination distance of the Undying Fire was greatly reduced.
The lamp that Kaya was holding earlier might not have been able to illuminate the entire corridor, but at least they could see the environment more than ten steps away. But now, the light was less than five steps away. If not for the fact that the two girls were quite familiar with the layout of the house, they might have stumbled as they walked.
In such darkness, there was a rather bright spot, and there were sounds of conversation coming from it. Of course, this attracted the two girls to go forward and see what was going on.
However, when they wanted to walk straight toward the light and the place where the conversation was, they bumped into an unknown wall. The two girls fumbled around for a while before they were sure that they were still in the original house. It was just that they saw a different scene. And that light was the small reception room in the original layout. In this house, other than their own rooms, it was the most comfortable place.
Now that they knew what was going on, the two girls followed the layout in their memories and walked toward the light that seemed to be sending out an invitation.
The voices of the two people in the conversation were somewhat unrestrained. They chatted as if they were old friends. One of them was an old acquaintance of the two girls. It was one of the diners, Demon Prince Azad. The other was wearing rather exaggerated aristocratic clothes. The most eye-catching thing was the large brimmed hat that was rolled up on one side and decorated with fluffy feathers. He also wore a big red cloak that was not suitable for indoors.
The two of them were unscrupulously opening bottle after bottle of good wine that their teacher had collected. However, they only drank a glass or even a sip before putting it down again.
"Oh, you're here." Azad, who saw the two girls, greeted them warmly.
"Your Highness." The two girls bowed at the same time and asked, "May I know who this guest is?"
"Haha, this is the first time I've met him, so I don't know who he is. But I'm guessing that this should be the supreme leader of the Secret Society, the Emperor of Vampires, one of the True Ancestors of the Bloodline, the notorious assassin, the nemesis of virgins, the public enemy of women, the underground emperor of the Northern Territory of the Lost Land, and the filthy vampire Hubert Berger. How about it? I guessed right. If I guessed wrong, I can only ask you to die until the person I guessed right appears. "Azad asked the person in front of him.
The person in the sky-blue velvet clothes stood up, took off his hat, and turned around. He bowed and greeted, "Ladies, Hubert Berger sends his greetings."
"I think I've heard this name before?" Halloumi asked her friend beside her.
"The former Eleventh Army Commander of the Dark Army was the vampire Hubert Berger," Kaya added.
The blonde girl, who was suddenly enlightened, turned to look at the vampire who had come to visit in the middle of the night. She asked, "Are you here to look for my sister? The former Demon King Fanny Tikal. "
At the mention of this name, the disgust on the vampire Hubert Berger's face couldn't be more obvious. He said evilly, "Her Majesty the Great Demon King who ruled the world and brought terror to the Lost Land is not such a delicate woman. Please don't slander the name of my Lord. Later, I will naturally find that impostor and make her clearly understand how unforgivable it is to make this mistake. Before that, I have something to discuss with the two of you. "
"You're looking for us?" Halloumi asked loudly. But she looked at the black-haired girl beside her in confusion. Both of them had the same puzzled expression. "What's the matter?"
"Someone wants that magician and everyone related to that magician to die, so they want to borrow the lives of the two of you. What a pity, what a pity, you are no longer virgins. Did that Magician pluck the sweet fruit? If you were still virgins, perhaps I would consider letting you die in a more comfortable way, as sweet as a dream. But since you are not, please die in an ordinary and painful way. Of course, the premise of all this is that His Highness the Demon King doesn't appear to stop it. Even if His Highness appears, it will only be a small obstacle, a slight delay. I don't think His Highness can really stop everything that is about to happen. "
Azzad said with a fake smile, "I just wanted to watch the show. Hearing you say that, I'm suddenly very interested in trying out what you said, to see if it's just a slight delay. Let's have a try? "
The vampire Hubert Berger met Azzad's provocation with a fearless gaze. The originally peaceful atmosphere between the two was gone, and a conflict was about to break out.
The two girls, who were naturally ignored, looked at each other, and Kaya said, "It's the vampires."
"Looks like all of them." Halloumi was, of course, referring to the terrifying number of invaders still lurking in the dark.
Although there had never been an example of an invader succeeding in this house before. But with Azzad, the Demon King, being able to escape alive, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be other exceptions. Besides, the number of invaders they faced today was something they had never faced before. The defense system in the house could handle it, but the two girls weren't so confident.
But after knowing that the opponent was a vampire, their hanging hearts were no longer so tense. But the two girls' relaxed appearances made Hubert Berger, as an invader, dissatisfied.
Everywhere he went, there was fear or reverence. The only thing he brought was terror and death. Once upon a time, he had never been looked down upon like this. He didn't mind releasing his unique and terrifying aura to intimidate everyone. At his level, there wasn't much difference whether or not he launched a sneak attack. As long as he set his eyes on prey, there would be no survivors.
But the two girls, who already regarded the Lich and the Black Dragon as their daily lives, wouldn't take the pressure of a vampire's True Ancestor seriously. They still looked at the gorgeously dressed noble in front of them with disdain. Kaya asked, "How can we be sure that they're all real?"
"Why don't we try and find out? If they're dead, they're real, and if they're not, they're fake, "Halloumi replied.
"That's right," Kaya agreed.
How could such an attitude not infuriate this vampire's True Ancestor? He raised his cape and bared his fangs, drawing in the aura around him and instantly rolling up a black fog, as if to cover up the only source of light again. Hubert Berger made up his mind to suck these two reckless idiots dry.
The vampires' first move should have been enough to elicit screams from the noble ladies. But the two girls weren't in a hurry. After looking at each other, they snapped their fingers in unison. "Light on."
In an instant, the entire house, inside and outside, was as bright as day. The light source was everywhere, up, down, left, and right, without a single blind spot. Not only did it dispel the hallucinatory fog, but it also exposed all the vampires lurking in the dark.
Bathed in Cupwood's special edition and illuminated by the imitation sunlight, the vampires, regardless of their form, were all dispelled back to their original forms and writhed and roared as if they were on fire. But this miserable state only lasted for a moment before most of the vampires were burned to ashes, leaving only ashes on the ground. In front of everyone, the powerful True Ancestor was still struggling.
