Chapter 45: Tata: I'm Going to Become Big Boss's Accomplice!

Looking at Big Boss with his back turned to her, Latanaya felt an indescribable sense of self-reproach.

If it weren't for the fact that she had been caught up to by the Pain Disciples, Big Boss wouldn't have used that forbidden power.

If she had been just a little stronger, able to take care of all these bastards before Big Boss arrived, then Big Boss wouldn't have had to fall into the Deep Abyss.

If she had been just a little smarter, able to shake off the pursuit of the Pain Disciples, then Big Boss wouldn't have become like this now.

Everything is her own fault.

It was her, step by step, who pushed Big Boss into the Abyss! And now, she's actually afraid of Big Boss...

Seeing her like this, how heartbroken Big Boss must be!

Inexplicably, Latanaya thought of herself.

Back then, after she was brought to the Academy by the Full Moon Dean, although she was excluded by her classmates at the Academy, she still wanted to become friends with them.

She spared no effort learning human recipes, suppressing her disgust for those foods, tasting the flavors, making one bento after another, only hoping to make those classmates accept her.

But what she got in return were sentences like—

"Disgusting to death, where did this Blood Clan come from!"

"Take your filthy lunch box away, are you qualified to sit with us?"

"Want to be my friend, hahaha, if you can never drink human blood for eternity, I'll consider it."

So, Latanaya did it.

She really removed human blood from her recipes, just to be acknowledged, to be accepted.

This also made her incomparably weak, even unable to use Blood Clan powers.

But what she got in return wasn't smiling faces, but even sharper mockery.

In that mockery, she was already covered in wounds.

'I'm so stupid, what's the difference between me just now taking half a step back and what they did to me?' Latanaya smiled sadly: 'Doing this to Big Boss who protects herself, Big Boss... how heartbroken he must be!'

Thinking of this, she could no longer suppress her emotions, letting out a loud roar: "I will absolutely not abandon you, I swear upon the Crimson True Ancestor!"

After saying this, Latanaya regretted it.

Big Boss still doesn't know she's Blood Clan!

Swearing upon the Crimson True Ancestor, isn't that equivalent to exposing herself? Inexplicably, Latanaya felt fear.

She was afraid that Big Boss would be like those people at the Academy, and leave her once he found out she was Blood Clan.

"I, I... Big Boss, what I mean is, I'm willing... I... sorry, I, I am a lowly Blood Clan..."

She explained in a servile manner, not even knowing what she was saying herself.

But the next second, Big Boss's warm voice rang out.

"Teacher Tata, what are you saying, I've never thought that Blood Clan is some lowly race."

"Whether you're human, dragon, or Blood Clan, it's all the same to me."

They're all my Experience Packages... Big Boss added the rest of the sentence in his heart.

And Latanaya's last line of defense also collapsed in these peaceful and warm words.

Big Boss's attitude was the final killing blow.

What else is there to hesitate about?

Latanaya smiled, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop curving upward.

She revealed the most splendid smile since the Clan Extermination Night, oh no, it should be said, in her entire life.

Big Boss, you are the one...

Who leaves me with no choice.

She solemnly walked to Big Boss's side, picked up the Suffering Whip from Karte's body, aimed at another disciple, and fiercely whipped down.

Just like that, one whip after another, she whipped down.

One whip strike, one reveal of a happy smile.

Big Boss watched dumbfounded from the side.

Could Tata have some hidden personality setting? I don't remember there being one!

And that disciple, under this whipping, twitched continuously like a shrimp, his mouth silently shouting: "You guys TM are dating, yet catch us brothers as sacrifices?" "Am I also part of your PLAY?"

Like this, whipping a Pain Disciple until he was barely breathing in and barely breathing out.

Latanaya finally stopped her movements, panting continuously.

"Big Boss, the things you did, I did too."

"From now on, we are accomplices."

Meanwhile, a crimson halo also lit up from Latanaya's body, gradually expanding into a ritual array, enveloping the bodies of both people.

That was a contract belonging to blood.

Big Boss knew this contract, this is the Crimson Embrace Divine Contract.

It is the highest-level contract that can be signed between humans and Blood Clan.

A normal Churong would make the Churong-ed become the Churong-er's Blood Descendant, having to obey the Churong-er's commands for all eternity.

If the Churong-er dies, the Churong-ed would die along with them.

But the Crimson Embrace Divine Contract is different, it is completely equal, or rather, a divine contract where the Blood Clan even suffers a loss.

After signing this contract, humans will possess Blood Clan power, but their race won't change.

Similarly, to preserve youth and have endless lifespan, humans will also share the contract Blood Clan's life.

This divine contract was researched by the already deceased Thirteen True Ancestors of the Blood Clan, wanting to let their lover live forever, yet unable to bear them becoming a dark monster, so they researched this contract.

The background story regarding this contract has several thousand words of description in the game.

But after him, in the Blood Clan's tens of thousands of years of history, there isn't even a single record of this contract being used.

Even in the PC version's ending, the contract signed between the player and Latanaya was a Blood Pact one rank lower than this contract.

Even he hadn't expected that Master Tata would actually know this contract.

But after thinking about it for just a moment, Big Boss understood why.

After all, for players, doing the Vampire route, they definitely want to become Vampires.

Creating this Crimson Embrace Divine Contract has no meaning.

And right now, Master Tata has been PUA'd by himself, unwilling to watch himself fall into darkness, so naturally he wouldn't use the Blood Pact.

Truly a rigorous setting, Quantum Technology, powerful and forceful, powerful and forceful.

Just as he was marveling endlessly, Latanaya also mustered her courage, walked up in front, her voice trembling: "Big Boss, I've already made my resolve, are you willing, to let me become your accomplice..."

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.

There were many things she wanted to say, but couldn't get the words out.

For a natural airhead with social anxiety to take this step, she had already used up all her courage.

"I'm willing, of course." Big Boss smiled gently, putting on an appearance of being deeply moved: "Being able to witness a genius's life is my honor."

"Big Boss..."

Latanaya took two deep breaths, calmed her wildly excited heart, and solemnly recited the prayer:

"Oh thirteenth Crimson Blood Moon from beyond the boundless starry sky, You witness, You watch, You bestow, You embrace."

"You built a bridge between humans and sinners."

"You let the Crimson Blood slumbering in darkness be able to embrace the Sun."

"Ah, praise You, sing Your praise, become You."

"Please, lend to me and Big Boss, Your power."

The ritual connected the two of them, and that Vampire Power which should originally only be obtained upon clearing the game, at this moment, became a part of Big Boss.

And he, holding Latanaya's hand, looking at the Pain Disciples behind him, revealed a warm smile.

Now, all conditions have been met.

Only the final step remains.

His third Abstract Magic Book can be obtained.
