The heavy pressure in the air lifted, leaving behind only the faint echo of souls fading away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at the old woman who had once been her mother and exhaled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye, Mother...\" she whispered, clasping her hands together in a faint prayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your soul is annihilated to nothingness and in that abyss, you’ll find peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was her quiet farewell. A signal that her task as an executioner was done, that she had to move forward even if every step meant dragging pieces of her past behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah had been beautiful once, a woman whose very presence demanded reverence. But now she was nothing more than a withered flower, hollow and still, her consciousness shattered beyond repair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur’s throat tightened, but she forced herself to look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"David! David! Wake up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scream tore through her reflection, the voice raw and panicked. Fleur turned sharply toward the pink-haired vampire whose trembling hands reached toward the collapsed figure lying nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pulsing ball of veins that had protected David was gone, drained completely after the fight. Her Sanguine Veins were nearly spent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David sprawled on the ground, his breathing shallow. Slowly, his eyes fluttered open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elle... no. Lulu, we need to go,\" he rasped, pointing weakly toward the crimson sky as the world around them began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-grey horizon bled into a violent red, and molten lava surged closer, swallowing the broken garden in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch! Take the damn head!\" Fleur snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved swiftly, hoisting David over her shoulder. Lulu’s clone threw the severed head toward them, and Lulu caught it before sprinting beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They darted toward the door, slipping through it just before the lava could reach them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant they crossed the threshold, everything changed. The door vanished behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" Fleur cursed under her breath, her eyes narrowing as she scanned their new surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hate domains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above them, the sky darkened once more. A storm of crows circled overhead, their wings blotting out the faint light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of their caws was deafening. It wasn’t just noise; it was an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each shriek drilled into their minds like invisible blades. Lulu dropped to her knees, clutching her head, and David slumped completely unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argghh! Why pain?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucien’s voice cracked as his head—still conscious—trembled from the psychic backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur clenched her teeth. Her SP reserves were nearly gone, she’d left only a sliver for emergencies, but now, even that was slipping away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved toward them, kneeling beside each in turn. Her veins pulsed out from her fingertips, thin and glowing faintly crimson as they slithered into their temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a risky move—forceful and draining—but it formed a barrier against the psychic intrusion, shielding their minds before they could melt from the inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pink-haired vampire gasped as the pain faded from her head, eyes blinking open in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Th-thank you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah,\" Fleur replied curtly as she stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pay me back by carrying this idiot.\" She nodded toward her \"What’s your name again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, it’s Lulu,\" the girl replied, struggling to lift David’s arm over her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, how come you know him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The same way he knows you,\" Fleur answered simply, turning to move ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve got to report to the Vampire Hunter Quarter if I plan to stay in their territory without getting shot on sight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that one...\" Lulu murmured, following her reluctantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their silhouettes stretched across the blood-red horizon. The deeper they walked, the more disturbing the scene became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pools of blood reflected twisted shapes of children’s bodies; undead children dragged themselves through the mire, and the endless caw of crows echoed through the air, each cry sharp enough to drive even Fleur close to madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your girl is a psychopath,\" Fleur muttered after cutting down the last of the undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She isn’t,\" David replied quietly, his voice hoarse yet steady. \"She’s just... in pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu glanced at him with pity. The man could barely stand, yet he forced his body forward, determined to reach deeper into this nightmarish domain called the Cage of Crows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah. Tell that to the fifty or more undead children we’ve had to kill.\" Fleur\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>sighed, shaking blood off David’s blade. \"You should be furious at her, not defending her. She’s the reason we’re stuck in this mess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the reason,\" David said firmly. \"My girl isn’t the one to blame. Keep walking, and stop grumbling, Fleur.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh! Can’t believe I decided to save you,\" Fleur scoffed, eyeing his pale skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body looked almost corpse-like, blood dripping from his stomatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really won’t punish your child? Even after she destroyed the whole world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David shook his head slowly. \"This is all my fault. I could never hate my daughter. It’s my responsibility to stop her... not to condemn her. So let’s move and talk less, like you used to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur smirked, brushing a strand of hair from her face. \"Sure. Whatever you say, hero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was relieved, maybe because if she said the truth about Sarah, Ulrich won’t be mad at her... Or maybe it was just her foolish wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts. They stopped before a vast dome: glass panels wrapped in rusted steel, half-buried in the dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a greenhouse, yet in Fleur’s eyes, it resembled nothing more than a cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the structure resembled a forgotten laboratory. Dust-covered instruments lined the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center sat a single chair, fitted with metal arms and crystal conduits that pulsed faintly. That chair was the place where they put crystal inside Elle’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on,\" Fleur said, her tone softening only slightly. \"I know where to find your little girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked deeper into the structure. On one of the glass walls, Fleur’s eyes caught the faded sigil of the Corvane, a raven perched on the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, they still had Lucien’s head with them. Fleur took it from Lulu and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now open the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucien didn’t say much. It seemed his spirit was already broken after Sarah’s defeat and now, with Elle next, there was nothing left in him to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He murmured a strange mantra under his breath before the sigil began to glow, cracking open in a web of red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Fleur plunged her hand into it and stepped forward, her body vanishing into the rift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a dimensional tear, unstable but passable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay? There aren’t any traps, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu called out, her voice weary. She was already too tired for another fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Just get in here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David and Lulu exchanged a brief look, then followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they entered, their eyes widened in shock. The space they emerged into was a vast red dome, filled with cables stretching from wall to wall, each one connecting to a crow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air shimmered with a crimson glow, and the sound of fluttering wings filled the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s Elle? Which one is she?\" David asked, scanning the countless dark shapes above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just keep walking,\" Fleur said, weaving her way between the tangled cords. \"You’ll know when you see her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crows filled every inch of the dome—even the ceiling—like a living, breathing mass. The sight was unsettling, but Fleur knew the truth behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did they even get this many crows?\" Lulu asked, her voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They aren’t crows,\" Fleur said quietly. \"They’re children, Lulu. The failed experiments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words hung heavy in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur’s thoughts drifted to the name Crows Cage She had seen it in Sarah’s memory, back when Sarah and Roanna were deciding what to call their failed creations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roanna had chosen the name. \"Because they scream like crows,\" she’d said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur remembered it vividly. The children’s screams was endless, raw, and inhuman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cried and thrashed in their cages until their throats bled, until their voices turned hoarse and broken until all that came out were those crow-like screeches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had gone mad from the pain, gouging out their own eyes or each other’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was why the name stayed: Crows Cage. A place where the failed ones were left to rot, to wail like dying birds in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So they turned the children into these crows?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David asked. His voice quivered as he stared at the black shapes surrounding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleur nodded. \"First, they turned them into vampires. Then they took their Vitalis Core while they were still conscious, kept them alive long enough to implant the core into a dead crow’s body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lulu gasped. David froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How—how could they do that? That’s basically moving a soul! And how are they still alive when their Vitalis Core is removed? That’s impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vitalis Cores aren’t just crystals filled with power, David,\" Fleur explained calmly. \"As long as the core isn’t shattered, the soul can still reside within it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David’s hand instinctively went to his chest, feeling the faint pulse of his own core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... I have one implanted in me. My soul feels the same. I haven’t changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you’re still alive,\" Fleur said simply. \"Tell me, have your habits changed lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David hesitated. His expression darkened as he realized she was right, he’d always been left-handed, yet now he used his right hand without thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the price of using the Vitalis Core,\" Fleur said grimly. Then she stopped walking, her eyes narrowing. \"We’ve found your daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They followed her gaze and saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single white crow perched in the center of the dome, its body encased within a translucent sphere, glowing faintly as if in protection.\u003C\u002Fp>",1621,"2026-06-03T11:48:03.951Z","2026-06-03T11:48:07.607Z",1,"novelbin.me","11eb1d9099f2335acbcc4e8f02114cc4dc85c9ea0ff71d8e077ce7a5b857439a","my-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-chapter-122","my-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-chapter-120",244,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-stepmom-is-a-vampire-her-entire-bloodline-wan-cover.jpg"]
