Chapter 3521: The Vampire's Ambition

Touching the 【Demon Hunting Seal】, the black shadow was hit by a huge force and bounced away again. At this time, the dagger inserted in Miss Corns's chest had been pulled out by Xia De, and then stabbed into that black shadow.

It wanted to run away, wanted to escape into the deeper part of the hotel, but the black shadow just struggled in place in vain. Strands of black lines were continuously absorbed by that black dagger, also causing more and more blasphemous symbols to appear on the dagger that originally had no patterns.

Until the black shadow completely disappeared amidst an angry scream, the dagger fell to the floor with a *Clang~*. The silver blasphemous symbols on the dagger flickered like breathing, and the whole dagger was also trembling continuously.

Xia De, enduring the discomfort of his body, hurriedly took out the small wooden coffin that had been prepared and matched the size of this dagger — actually, this was a real coffin turned into a toy. After throwing the dagger in, he continued to cast spells while enduring the headache:

"Coffin of the Underworld!"

The holy emblem of the Old God - God of the Grave floated above that small coffin, and then turned into a small black skeleton lying on the coffin lid, tightly hugging this coffin. The sealing was completed. Although according to the doctor's statement, this could only briefly contain the demon, it was already enough for Xia De.

He leaned on his long sword and helped Miss Corns, who was trembling all over, to stand up. Just wanting to speak, he noticed that the bloody scent in the corridor seemed to be much thicker than just now.

*Drip~*

Sticky liquid fell on his forehead. Xia De didn't need to look up to know that it was blood. At the same time, a dark red light appeared from the front. Xia De looked forward, and a tall human figure dripping with blood had appeared at the edge of the candle's light at some point.

"Again?"

The black blood under the feet of the evil object attracted by the battle just now gradually flowed into the light of the candle that was about to extinguish, and the range of the light was shrinking inward. Xia De took a deep breath and wanted to raise the 【Dawn of Breaking】 in his hand again, but the vampire witch's voice came from behind the two:

"Spiral!"

The blood flowing straight forward drew strange spiral patterns on the ground and then flowed back toward the direction it came from. The figure dripping with blood standing at the edge of the light shifted its gaze toward the back of Xia De and Miss Corns. After a moment of silent staring, it disappeared into the darkness.

Miss Corns fainted again at this moment. Miss Novare hurried over to help Xia De support her, but Xia De suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at her eyes filled with blood-colored spirals:

"You used the power of your right hand to swallow the power of the spiral evil object in Room 2547?"

Just looking at those eyes, Xia De had a feeling that his thinking was splitting again.

The red-haired witch nodded and admitted, her state looking much better now:

"In that situation, I wanted to recover quickly and possess stronger power to help you; I had no choice but to do this. I know what you are worried about, but isn't it very good now? If I didn't take action, are you going to drag two wounded people and fight a new evil object?"

Xia De knew she had a point, but he also knew that the problems on this 12th-level vampire witch would probably erupt at some point in the near future.

He didn't argue with Miss Novare:

"Let's go back first. When I chased over just now, I already saw the elevator room 2500... wait a moment."

He turned and closed the room door of Room 2547, but still no key fell.

"That's right, the things in Room 2547 and Room 2548 never escaped from their respective rooms originally."

There was also that room where the Moon Beast was imprisoned on the 25th floor, but what Xia De needed now was rest, so he didn't go to search again. He and Miss Novare supported Miss Corns together and came to the elevator room. As the elevator began to descend slowly, Xia De relit a match and then asked:

"Just now in the room, how did you suddenly disappear?"

Although he knew this was the handiwork of those two evil objects twisting space, Xia De still asked.

"In my view, you suddenly disappeared after stepping into the bedroom. I couldn't find you, so I retreated to the corridor, and then found that I walked out of the room door of Room 2548."

"When I wanted to return to the room, what I saw after opening the room door was still the corridor. Then I was attacked by a demon. I was dragged into a nightmare and had no power to fight back. After barely escaping the nightmare using my racial talent and the power I had swallowed, I was seriously injured by Corns in reality."

Looking at it this way, the evil objects in 2547 and 2548 wanted to deal with the two one by one, so the witch was driven out first, leaving Xia De alone in the room.

There were no other accidents on the way back. Xia De was originally worried about whether it was safe to let Miss Gerde guard the witch he saved from the demon alone, but fortunately, when the three returned to the safe house, the cold black-haired girl still hadn't woken up.

The reason for Miss Corns's coma was very complex. Xia De's forced expulsion of the demon also caused her damage. And during the period when the demon possessed and controlled her body, her consciousness actually fell into a nightmare.

Her situation was actually very similar to that witch whose name Xia De still didn't know, but there were no treatment conditions in this hotel, so Miss Gerde, who was skilled in magic potions and medical treatment, could only stabilize the situation for them based on existing materials and the supplies Xia De brought.

But this led to the fact that although there were five people here, only three had the ability to act, and the three still needed to spend manpower to take care of two wounded people.

"Looking at the bright side, at least you successfully expelled the demon and completed the second task."

Miss Gerde saw that Xia De was in a heavy mood, so she comforted him.

The vampire witch's wounded state had been lifted because she swallowed the power of the evil object, but she also knew that doing so was easy to lose control, so she needed time to perfectly integrate the absorbed power.

After Xia De returned, he sat in front of the campfire to rest and recover his spirit while telling Miss Gerde about his experience just now.

The 100 minutes of time had only passed 20 minutes now. Even if there was no doubled time this time, the remaining time was enough for him to do many things. So Xia De was not in a hurry to go out again. While closing his eyes and calming down amidst the sound of Miss Gerde preparing magic potions, he thought of more things.

Only after feeling his spirit was a bit better did he open his mouth:

"Since the demon Miss Corns was tracking was actually always on her, then her entering this hotel was not an accident; she herself was the target of this hotel."

He was testing whether the other two were aware of their respective situations, but the two awake witches didn't show much expression on their faces.

"I actually envy her; at least her goal has been achieved."

Miss Gerde said while shaking the reagent bottle. Although she had the lowest level among the group, because she was the oldest, she appeared more steady than them in speaking and doing things:

"If my mother was actually attached to me, I wouldn't have to go looking for her; I would actually be very happy."

Miss Novare also opened her eyes and said:

"Humans can only be in a spiritual state if they want to possess; don't you hope she is still alive?"

Although there were still bloodshot eyes in her eyes at this time, the spiral patterns just now were gone, and she was absorbing power very quickly.

Miss Gerde shook her head:

"Mother did something wrong and was expelled by the Zalas Academy. I know what kind of mistake she made; she deserves to be punished. I just want to see her again and ask about what happened back then."

"Witches don't have offspring; I am a child she adopted. I have always wanted to know why she adopted me."

Everyone here has a story.

This time going out, because there was no time to search the room, the matches were consumed in vain without being replenished. Miss Novare was a bit anxious about this, but soon she began to look forward to other things.

Although repeatedly absorbing the power of evil objects in the hotel didn't allow her to advance to the 13th level, the acquisition of various special abilities still gave this vampire lady more desires. A small corner of her heart even thought that this strange Whispering Hills was actually not as dangerous as she imagined. If she continued to stay, the power she could obtain would be more.

"But I can't do it alone."

She secretly looked at Xia De, who was exchanging experience in treating demon possessors with Miss Gerde, thinking about how to win over this helper.

Miss Gerde's knowledge was quite profound. Because the time here was closer to the Dark Ages than the Sixth Era, although she hadn't encountered ancient evil spirits in the normal world, she had a lot of knowledge about how to treat people injured by demons.

This lady from the Zalas Academy told Xia De many things that even Dr. Schneider hadn't mentioned. And besides demons, she was also quite knowledgeable in other fields.

So Xia De thought about the fact that he was still facing many troubles in the Sixth Era. He took out his notebook, drew the symbols on the surface of the "yellow snake-eye gemstone" that had turned into stone obtained from the young Clement Krug, and asked this lady to help identify them.

"This is something I got after someone played cards with me using their life. Does anyone recognize this symbol?"

Miss Novare also leaned over to watch, but she didn't recognize that strange symbol. Miss Gerde thought for a while and really gave some suggestions:

"I have seen similar symbols before, but I don't know the specific meaning. That was a symbol once displayed when an ancient organization communicated with the academy. Perhaps you can seek answers from them."

Xia De was very pleasantly surprised:

"As long as there is a clue, may I ask what organization it is?"

He was a bit worried that the so-called "ancient organization" had no traces in the Sixth Era, but fortunately, the answer given by Miss Gerde was very familiar to Xia De:

"【Light-Guiding Occult Society】, this is an organization that believes in doomsday and actively prepares for it. They don't communicate much with others and are committed to preserving the records of civilization and preparing supplies to deal with doomsday." ===== CHAPTER 3522 =====
