Chapter 3435: Vampire

~11 min read 2,025 words

Neither Xia De nor Miss Novare went near that door again. After looking at each other, Xia De reached out and pointed at the right hand that was still flapping on the floor:

"Moonlight Ray!"

The silver ray mixed with moon fire power hit the palm of that right hand straight on, and then the hand was burned into ashes in the silver fire.

The two retreated backward together, their eyes still fixed on the door gap of Room 0397. Not until the darkness completely submerged it, and the two returned to the stairwell position, did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The two stood on the stairs going up and talked:

"The other party has the ability to create hallucinations and stretch out arms. Although the main body is unknown, I can already imagine a white ball formed by a hundred slender arms."

The vampire girl had a rich imagination:

"When exploring the third floor before, we only recorded two rooms with supplies. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing this time. How about it? Should we continue?"

"Of course. Room 0397 just now is on the left side of the stairwell, which does not affect our exploration."

They didn't rest, and continued to walk toward the right side. At this time, the flame of the lantern ignited on the first floor had become weak. Without Xia De reminding, Miss Novare took the initiative to ignite another match. Plus the candle in Xia De's hand that hadn't been extinguished, they still maintained the state of both holding lamp fire.

The two doors that appeared on the right side of the stairwell were not recognized by them, and then a dirty oil painting with a grassland background appeared on the right side. The two doors that continued to move forward were still not recognized by them. Just when passing by, the door on the left hand side actually made a knock-knock-knock~ sound from inside the door.

Xia De and Miss Novare watched that door and waited for a while, and after confirming that the other party had no intention of opening the door, they continued to walk forward.

"0321, oh, luck has come."

The red-haired vampire girl said, and then opened the next door on the right. Seeing her walk in directly, Xia De looked at the golden light spots continuing to extend toward the depths of the corridor, so he followed behind her, and didn't forget to close the door again.

This room was slightly smaller than the room on the tenth floor, and there was no fireplace. A dining table was placed by the window. Miss Novare walked over directly, lifted the broken bowls and plates on the dining table, and found two half-rotted apples and seven matches.

Although they already had a large batch of supplies brought by Xia De, she still collected the two apples.

The seven matches were divided into three parts by her:

"You take two, I take two. This is our own; don't be so surprised. Ms. Gerd and Joanna must also have their own private matches. This is something everyone knows but doesn't say. After all, we all have other purposes. The remaining three and the matches on the corpse just now are turned over, and we will say this is the harvest when we go back."

Hearing her say this, Xia De also collected the matches. Miss Novare then went to rummage through the cupboard on the other side, while Xia De stood by the window and looked out. The rolling hills in the darkness were not very interesting scenery. It seemed that this time-adventure would not involve things outside this building.

There were many places in this room where supplies could be found. Not only food, water, and matches, but in rare cases, some special materials, quite old alchemical props, or notes or papers left by predecessors could be found.

Miss Novare already knew very well which positions in the room might have supplies, so Xia De also helped to rummage. After confirming that most of the things that could be used were packed and taken away, the room door was opened again, and they continued their journey just now.

After passing six doors on the left and right, the vampire girl whispered a reminder:

"Generally, our exploration of each floor will only last to such a 'depth.' After all, you need to push open a door again for the stairwell to appear nearby, but whether there are safe rooms further ahead, no one can be sure."

But the golden light spots were still guiding forward, and they had to continue moving forward. Fortunately, after passing four more doors, the light spots drifted to the keyhole of the room door with the "0300" gilded number plate hanging on the right side.

Xia De reached out and gripped the doorknob to try, and the door was indeed locked. So he inserted the key into the keyhole, but before he turned the key—

Click~

Footsteps like shoe soles stained with mud appeared less than two meters to their right. When Miss Novare lifted the oil lamp to illuminate, she only saw a black tentacle hiding in the darkness.

Xia De didn't continue to open the door. He could be certain that the elevator was behind the door, but he couldn't guess whether there was a "surprise" inside the elevator.

While trying to turn around after pulling out the key, the footsteps of click~ appeared again. This time, the owner of the footsteps exposed himself to the firelight. Miss Novare saw the other party first, so her eyes exploded directly.

Xia De felt his eyes swollen and painful immediately after subconsciously feeling pain in his eyes, but he could be certain that he had seen the other party's appearance just now, but at this moment, closing his eyes, he couldn't remember what the other party looked like at all, only remembering that the other party had a "0352" label on his head.

And the room number corresponding to this label was at a position four doors away from them.

Just closing his eyes was not enough. Xia De no longer looked at the other party, but the other party's gaze looked at them. The other party's gaze itself was power. Because Xia De was standing behind the vampire girl, he was blocked by her for most of his body, but when the monster's gaze touched him, he still felt a part of his body disappear directly because of the pain.

"The power of this kind of gaze should only be activated at close range, otherwise it wouldn't approach."

Thinking this, Xia De slashed with a sword in the direction of the source of the gaze. But the sword swing missed, and instead, when 【Dawn of Daybreak】 touched that gaze, Xia De felt his sword blade touch some kind of solid, and the long sword was directly pushed away by the "gaze."

"What exactly is this thing? Does the other party have a magic eye?"

It was not that he couldn't fight blindly with his eyes closed, but in a hurry, he didn't even know the other party's shape, so he fell into a disadvantage at the first move. And the destructive power of the other party's gaze was truly too strong. At this moment, he couldn't even imagine Miss Novare's situation.

At this moment, there was no time for him to test or seek a solution. Although 【Dawn of Daybreak】 was pushed away by the other party's gaze, Xia De knew the direction of the source of the other party's gaze at this moment.

So the name of a miracle jumped into his mind, and when the miracle name appeared, he had actually completed the spellcasting:

"Maze-Crystal Light!"

He was not forcibly opening the maze to freeze space-time, but casting spells under normal conditions, summoning that mirror that could make the reflected object let go of obsession and obtain new power.

This was also the second chance given to Xia De by that god from the Otherworld Academy.

The other party's strange gaze could of course easily destroy any mirror surface, and wanting to rely on reflection to solve the other party was almost impossible, but the crystal of "Crystal Light" was an eternal existence that even time could not wear away.

After the mirror took shape, Xia De held it toward the source of the gaze, and then he only felt a huge force transmitted to him through the mirror, making him feel like he was hit head-on by a dragon flying at high speed.

After a thud~ sound, his back hit the room door behind him, but at the same time, a sharp cry came from the direction of the enemy.

The pain brought by the materialized gaze disappeared immediately. Xia De opened his eyes and touched his left side, and sure enough, he touched wounds and blood.

The mirror disappeared in his hand, and the candle that was about to be extinguished was re-ignited. At the position of the enemy, a huge eyeball with dozens of black tentacles was lying on the floor, flapping like a fish in a frying pan. That eyeball was like being slashed from the middle by a sword, and pus was flowing from the wound.

"Eye demon? No, it just looks like an eye demon. What kind of ghost thing is this?"

Xia De just glanced at the other party, and then hurriedly went to check the situation of Miss Novare who had collapsed on the ground.

Her right body almost turned into a pool of meat, and the left body was covered with dense wounds. Although the two eyeballs exploded, they had been restored by her at the first time, and she hadn't fainted yet.

Xia De knew that she had blocked most of the attacks for him, so he reached out:

"Suck my blood to recover."

But he was pushed away by the red-haired vampire girl:

"I absolutely will not suck the blood of anyone who can be called a friend. This is a principle. Without this principle, I wouldn't have reached the twelfth rank. Help me to the side of that monster; I need to recover."

Xia De very much doubted that the thing that looked like an eye demon didn't have blood at all, but he still helped Miss Novare to the side of that evil thing, and then used 【Dawn of Daybreak】 to slash another sword on its eyeball fiercely.

The evil thing without vocal organs wailed again, and Miss Novare couldn't wait.

Xia De thought she would directly open her mouth to bite the tentacles that at least looked like they would have blood, but didn't expect her to extend her right arm, and then a cold mouth appeared in the palm of her right hand and bit on the eyeball of that evil thing.

"This..."

She was not letting 【Human Pus】 attach to her body like Ivan Darkness, nor did she have the unique "talent" of Audrey and Megan. Xia De didn't feel the existence of any other soul. He only noticed that the moment her right arm changed, the nature of the spirit surging on her body changed.

This was a feeling that was hard to describe. If he closed his eyes, Xia De wouldn't think that a witch was standing beside him, but would think that a powerful evil soul was looking at him.

Her ability, there was definitely a problem.

The red-haired girl's right hand mouth gnawed on the eyeball of the "eye demon," and while the arm was swallowing gulp-gulp~ like a throat, the body of that evil thing also gradually withered.

However, Miss Novare didn't "eat" too much, and after her body recovered quickly, she immediately retracted her arm. At this moment, although the long dress was stained blood-red, her body had recovered as before, and even her eyes had a certain terrifying sense of power.

The glowing eyes looked at Xia De who was holding the sword:

"This is the secret art of our vampires... can you keep it secret?" ===== CHAPTER 3436 =====
