Chapter 577: Bloodlust Impulse

"A half-vampire, huh?"

Luo De smiled.

Behind him, the massive Baimeigui battle spirit manifested.

Four withered arms activated the 【Grasp】 skill, firmly gripping Vanessa's wrists and ankles, suspending her upside down in midair.

This woman was no mere mage—her combat style revealed partial cultivation of vampire spiritual arts.

Thus, after shedding her purple mage robe,

she revealed a silver chainmail breastplate woven from mithril and vampire thorns, beneath which lay a pure white undershirt.

The undershirt had already been burned through by Luo De's flame ray during their first clash.

The mithril chainmail, however, remained intact.

But because her entire body was inverted, her clothing and armor flipped upward, exposing large swathes of abdominal skin.

Pale and cold, with faint bluish veins visible beneath the surface.

The chainmail seemed to also serve to support her breasts.

Her two mounds pressed tightly against the armor, full and heavy, sinking into her collarbones.

The half-vampire woman's face remained cold and grim, showing no sign of panic at her current state.

"What did you do? Why did my 【Wish】 spell go awry?"

"I did nothing. Perhaps the Weave has a preference."

Luo De spoke casually.

He pinched her abdomen.

Her lower belly had a slight softness, elastic and supple.

Yet she was still exceptionally gifted, possessing a clean, defined abdominal line.

Her waist was slender, hips wide, her buttocks straining the black hunting pants to fullness.

A classic pear-shaped figure.

But her skin tone was too ashen.

Somewhere between Kalist's natural snow-white and Pan Ni's corpse-like pallor.

"Impossible. The Weave is fair. The Magic Goddess Mystra is fair. She could never favor anyone. You must have done something."

Vanessa said without expression.

"You're Professor Bahadur's mage. What could I possibly have done to hide from you? It's simply a spell deviation."

"After completing my wish, my 【Wish】—or rather, Mystra Herself—could never make a mistake. Yet now she's flooded my mind with memories of that succubus mating with you."

Upon hearing this, Luo De couldn't help laughing.

Mystra was too much—why not just pretend the spell failed?

Maybe that wouldn't work either.

As the Magic Goddess, a failed spell would be too humiliating.

"What?!"

Tally exclaimed in outrage: "So this thing just stole my techniques and experience?!"

"What do you mean 'nothing special'? You foul thing, I'll show you my power!"

Luo De shoved her away without mercy.

He turned his attention back to the half-vampire woman.

Rubbing—

Feeling—

She spoke again, expressionless: "You're interested in my body? Tell me what you did to my 【Wish】, and you may do as you please."

"Even if I don't tell you, aren't you already at my mercy?"

Luo De used his fingers to part her soft lips.

Two sharp, pure white canines stood out prominently.

He gently pried open her jaws.

Inside: a crimson mouth and tongue.

"Since you're a vampire, your blood should be highly attractive to you."

Saying this,

Luo De sliced his finger with a sharp spiritual edge and squeezed out a drop of blood.

Unexpectedly, Vanessa showed no excitement—instead, her face turned ashen, as if facing a dire threat.

She immediately shut her mouth and eyes tight.

Tally leaned in, grinning: "Oh? A fasting type, then."

"What's a fasting type?"

"A faction among vampires. They believe fresh blood triggers the 【Bloodlust】, and must be left for one to two days before consumption."

"Won't it spoil?"

"Of course it does! The taste vanishes, and some spiritual essence is lost—even magical preservation won't help. It's like qi."

Luo De looked at her: "Then why store so much?"

Tally smiled sweetly: "The Master's essence is just as fragrant even after aging. Tally loves to eat it."

"Heh."

Since that's the case,

Luo De flicked the blood directly onto Vanessa's lips.

She trembled, as if enduring something.

Hehehe

Flicked again.

Harder.

Finally,

after intense struggling,

she could no longer resist—she thrust out her crimson tongue and licked the blood clean.

When she opened her eyes again,

they glowed red, fixed on Luo De's bleeding finger, filled only with bloodlust.

Her mouth half-open, her pale neck stretched out hungrily.

The two fangs were visibly lengthening.

"Ugh!"

Vanessa's gaze suddenly cleared.

She stared in shock at Luo De's bleeding finger: "【Seductive Fluids】? Why does a human possess a succubus's spiritual art?! And why is it so delicious? This flavor and energy far surpasses ninth-rank!"

Vampires are immune to seduction.

They themselves are masters of charm and hypnosis.

This woman, a half-vampire, might not be fully immune, but she possessed considerable resistance.

"Huh."

Luo De raised an eyebrow.

The Baimeigui's arms lowered her suspended position slightly.

Just enough to bring her face level with… that.

Then the dragon moved.

It slapped her face twice.

Luo De chuckled, letting a drop of blood fall onto it.

Vanessa finally showed panic, recoiling in strong resistance.

"No! No! This level of blood! I'll be completely dominated by the 【Bloodlust】! Don't come near me!"

"You're Luo De, right? Mr. Luo De! I beg you—do whatever you want to my body, but don't let me drink blood! I can't lose control again! I can't lose more memories!"

She became hysterical, staring at the dragon coated in blood as if it were a ghost.

Tally muttered under her breath: "Unappreciative trash vampire."

But to please her master,

she stepped forward, pinned Vanessa's head in place, and used shadows to forcibly pry open her mouth.

"Open wide! The Master is coming~~"

Luo De was chuckling wickedly.

Suddenly, he felt the scene before him was grotesque and sinister. He glanced around.

The forest was dark, wind howling.

Just in case, he shattered a magic ring that obscured vision.

He nodded in satisfaction.

That was fine—when decent people do indecent things, as long as no one sees, it doesn't count.

He straightened his waist.

"Ahh—"

The content below was once again blocked by the Dao of Heaven, rendering it invisible.

In short.

Vanessa, though she failed to charm, succumbed due to her bloodlust.

Not long after, she became a sloth, her arms and legs tightly wrapped around.
