close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, carefully, he turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, just a few steps away, stood a tall vampire figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pale skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long dark hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson eyes glowing faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not

wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spun fully around—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was nothing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empty air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The broken forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" he whispered. \"Disappeared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back toward the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange sound filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High pitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like bats crying in the

headless corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The severed head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground where they had lain was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\" he said quietly, tension creeping into his voice for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beneath his feet trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, crimson shapes burst upward from the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shot toward him like spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body blurred instantly as he vanished from his position, reappearing several meters away on a jagged stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" he breathed, grin returning slowly. \"I knew you wouldn’t die like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another wave of tentacles erupted from beneath him, forcing him to leap again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, there were twice as many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest floor cracked open as crimson blades burst forth in rows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air whistled with their speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked repeatedly, his body flickering from place to place, narrowly evading impalement each time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks did not slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They grew faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Leprechaun’s grin widened, though a bead of sweat slid down his temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now this feels better,\" he laughed, dodging sideways as five tentacles struck the space he had just occupied. \"You had me worried for a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tentacle curved midair, chasing him instead of striking straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He twisted mid flip, barely avoiding its tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another intercepted his landing spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vanished before it pierced through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was no longer solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had become a field of living crimson spears, rising and falling in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Leprechaun threw a small vial onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It exploded into thick gray smoke, swallowing the area in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned within the cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see you track me now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reduced his presence, dampening his mana signature while moving silently through the smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the tentacles did not slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They did not hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pierced through the smoke with unerring accuracy, slashing exactly where he moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One grazed his coat, tearing fabric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another sliced a lock of his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re not relying on sight,\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blinked out of the smoke, landing atop a cracked tree trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacles followed immediately, shredding the trunk to splinters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another series of endless attacks began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They no longer came in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They overlapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One would thrust forward while another swept low, while a third curled from behind, while a fourth dropped from above like a falling blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He phased through several, turning ghostlike as before, but the sheer number forced him to maintain constant motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes! That’s it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body flickered repeatedly, ghost and solid alternating as he navigated through the crimson storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks adjusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he phased, tentacles stabbed through anyway, waiting for the moment he became solid again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he blinked, others were already aimed at where he would reappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting,\" he muttered, eyes shining. \"Very interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He twisted midair, narrowly avoiding three blades converging at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your control isn’t coming from one place,\" he realized aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He landed briefly on a stone pillar, breathing lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So many directions. So many angles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacles rose higher, forming a spinning dome around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He disappeared again, reappearing outside the dome before it could close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed, but there was sharpness in it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not one body, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes briefly while still moving, trusting instinct to avoid immediate strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tentacles scraped past his coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his mana outward in pulses, splashing it across the battlefield like waves of green light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each pulse spread wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued evading while sending those pulses out again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll find you,\" he murmured. \"Where are you hiding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacles did not feel unified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt... scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlled from different nodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mana brushed against faint signatures buried beneath the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small but real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin widened slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ducked under a horizontal slash and phased through an upward thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Multiple anchors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He increased the intensity of his mana pulses, flooding the battlefield while continuing to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, he began identifying the sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint ripple beneath a broken rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another beneath a mound of corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another hidden inside a hollow tree trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clever,\" he admitted softly, eyes still closed. \"Very clever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacles grew more frantic, striking faster as if sensing his discovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was already tracing the threads backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the flow of blood mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toward the true origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp gleam flashed within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head slightly toward a seemingly empty patch of cracked earth behind a fallen tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grin returned, slow and wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Found you again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1221,"2026-06-05T18:38:13.248Z",1,"novelbin.me","7e15dc67f7bfa18fc17d3ab844f510a711c98499965da9a19565844eecd8f42e","my-three-beautiful-vampire-wives-can-hear-my-inn-chapter-132","my-three-beautiful-vampire-wives-can-hear-my-inn-chapter-130",274,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-three-beautiful-vampire-wives-can-hear-my-inn-cover.jpg"]
