Chapter 3525: The Vampire's Awakening
"Your talent for the moon is truly amazing; I have never seen such pure moonlight."
The vampire girl also praised Xia De. She revealed a faint smile, but immediately shook her head:
"Maybe I really took a wrong turn, but sometimes one step slow means every step is slow. You don't understand the struggle of the vampire clan; I don't have time."
Pushing open the fence door and returning to the 25th floor, the elevator room door had just opened when the blood water rushing toward them was about to swallow the two people inside.
They had been maintaining vigilance, so as the blood water surged into the elevator, the spiral lines in Miss Novare's eyes appeared again, and the blood water surged and rolled back toward the direction it came from.
All the scarlet liquid flowed along the door frame toward the outside, so it opened to both sides like a curtain, revealing the scarlet human figure dripping with blood standing in the corridor.
This was exactly the scarlet figure dripping with blood that tried to sneak attack Xia De after he imprisoned the demon just now, but was forced back by Miss Novare. Xia De also saw clearly the room number "2594" floating above its head this time.
【Dawn of Breaking】 slashed out pure silver moonlight forward, and then the human figure split left and right, letting the sword mark pass directly through its body. Only then did Xia De realize that it was composed of pure blood, and the human shape was just a shape piled up by liquid.
"Heaton Seal!"
The expanding golden spherical light shield blocked the door, and the splashing blood water was immediately evaporated after touching the shield that was emitting flowing light. And Miss Novare took a deep breath, and then a mouthful of black blood with a foul smell was spat out by her. After passing through the shield from the inside, it fell into the blood water outside the door, and the scarlet blood water was dyed pitch black.
This should be some kind of blood toxin with extremely unique properties. Although Xia De couldn't see the characteristics of the toxin, the thing outside the door clearly knew the power of that mouthful of blood. All the blood dyed black was abandoned, turning into an uncontrollable appearance and spreading in the cracks of the floor.
And the blood-colored figure outside the door manipulated the remaining blood to turn into a sharp cone and stabbed at the shield blocking the door. So Xia De, who was already annoyed that these blood waters were too scattered, raised his two hands:
"Sunlight Ray! Moonlight Ray!"
Golden and silver dual-colored light rays burst out from both hands simultaneously, colliding with the shield and the gathered blood. The supreme and holy light quickly melted the blood with evil power, and even the power of the sun and the moon resonated implicitly, exploding a big hole in the blood water, rushing directly toward the blood-colored figure located at the end, and evaporating its entire head.
But this did not cause fatal damage to this "liquid life." After Xia De's blow caused a significant effect, it immediately retreated backward like before, recycling all the red blood and trying to hide in the darkness again. But this time Miss Novare didn't intend to let it go:
"Secret Technique - Blood Moon Return!"
The leech mouth split in the palm of her right hand, and a red vortex was formed by the red light halo in the leech mouth. So the blood water trying to escape flowed back toward her right arm, which was gradually covered by black at this moment, and the mouth in the palm of the vampire witch prepared to enjoy this "meal."
It's just that before the blood water was about to be swallowed by that mouth, Xia De, who was on the side, placed his right hand on the vampire witch's right arm, which was severely alienated. The black hard skin touch was quite terrible, and the power turned into the corpse of the evil object made him have the urge to swing his sword immediately.
Xia De said nothing, just held Miss Novare's right arm and looked at her. The vampire girl then produced hesitation at this moment, but at the same time as the hesitation was produced, she actually felt her right arm begin to uncontrollably accelerate attracting blood to flow toward the mouth in her palm.
This was like the right arm producing some kind of instinct, resisting her own consciousness, which had never happened in the past.
Originally she was just hesitant, but at this moment, she was shocked and immediately made up her mind, gritting her teeth and forcibly suppressing the power of her right arm with her own will, ending the casting effect before the first drop of blood water entered the "mouth," and terminated the alienation of her right arm and closed the crack in her palm.
This way of resisting "one's own" instinct was not easy, at least more difficult than ordinary people controlling themselves to force a stop to urination.
The blood water that lost its attraction fell all over the floor, while the control subject of these bloods disappeared into the darkness of the corridor, like a gecko breaking its tail to survive, abandoning this part of the "body."
"What happened just now?"
Miss Novare didn't pay attention to that pool of blood, but looked at her right hand with some suspicion. The right hand after returning to its normal form was completely under her control. The "instinct" that resisted her will just now seemed to be just an illusion. She felt her head a bit dizzy at this moment, as if she had suddenly woken up from a dream, and the hidden dangers she had deliberately ignored because she only saw the benefits were now constantly surging in her heart.
Xia De looked at the pool of blood on the ground, hesitated for a while, and didn't summon flames to evaporate it, but took out an empty red wine bottle from his pocket, chanted a spell softly, and held the bottom of the bottle to aim the bottle mouth at the ground, so the blood flowed into the bottle mouth and turned into blood wine.
After the cork was plugged, the bottle was still shaking violently. The blood water was resisting Xia De's spell. So Xia De shook the bottle fiercely a few more times, determined that all the liquid had been transformed, and handed it to the vampire girl whose mood was very complex:
"Although this is not absolutely safe, you can take it away from here, analyze and verify the ingredients after returning to your own castle or laboratory, and then drink it. Vampires should suck blood after all. I dare not say how the effect is, but the taste must be absolutely delicious."
The vampire girl was biting her lip, wanting to talk to him about the abnormality of her right arm just now. Only after subconsciously taking the bottle did she suddenly realize what Xia De had done:
"This is... blood wine?"
"You actually recognize it? Oh, you are a 12th-level vampire witch; it's normal to know some things about gods. Yes, blood wine. You didn't see at a glance that I had received the blessing of your race's god, so I also learned the craft of blood wine."
Miss Novare thought of the experience this time, and thought of the other party's particularity:
"You have met my Lord, right? Just like this."
Xia De didn't answer this question, but pointed to her arm:
"You are a vampire yourself; if you become dependent on this to suck blood, it would be too pathetic. I am very happy that you were able to listen to advice this time. No matter what, as long as you are willing to ask me for help, I will definitely help you."
"People like you should be very popular with witches in the era you live in."
"Hmm? How do you know?"
The red-haired girl didn't know why she laughed. Since their race's god had met Xia De and "taught" Xia De the knowledge of blood wine, and now such a person appeared in front of her and said "vampires should suck blood," she felt that all this seemed to be the god guiding her, giving this not-very-pious believer one last chance.
She looked at her right arm, and after making up her mind, she felt much better:
"Let's go, aren't there still many things to do? After the investigation of the 25th floor is over, we still have to climb the stairs. I also miss the medium-rare steak cooked by the maids in my castle."
The evil object that attacked the two just now had disappeared without a trace in the corridor, and even the bloody smell permeating the corridor on the 25th floor had faded a lot. Xia De didn't waste time, took out the key given by the god, and felt that a certain room on his left was the destination.
Crossing six doors in total on the left and right with Miss Novare, who was holding a wine bottle and a torch, he saw the open door of Room 2544. And very coincidentally, opposite this door was Room 2530 where the Moon Beast was imprisoned.
"It's good to meet an Old God with kindness."
He dealt with the demon's matter first. After simply searching for supplies with Miss Novare, Xia De took out the black dagger from the seal of 【Coffin of the Underworld】. The two stood at the door. After Xia De threw the dagger that was trembling more and more violently into the room, the room door was heavily closed and locked from the outside by Xia De using the key given by the god.
He even put his ear to the room door and listened for a while, but didn't hear any sound.
"This coffin can be reused in the future."
Xia De explained to Miss Novare, carefully put away the room key, and then turned to look at the opposite room. 【35
The door to Room 2530 was closed. Before pushing it open to walk in, Xia De confirmed with his companion once more:
"How did Miss Bister handle that Moon Beast? After we enter, will we be facing a monster that has just recovered from its injuries and is in a rage, or one that is unable to move due to severe wounds?"
"That werewolf lady didn't say very specifically at the time. She only said that the goal had been achieved and told me to rest assured that no matter what I encountered in the hotel next, I would absolutely not run into the Moon Beast she had studied."
A "Moon Beast" is a typical monster related to the moon. According to the data from Danister, this type of monster is highly likely born from the shattering of the Primordial Moon. It is a terrifying life form formed by the mutation of unknown creatures that originally lived on the moon, which lost control, went mad, and were subjected to specific curses when the Primordial Moon collapsed.
According to records, its appearance resembles a combination of a wolf and a lion, and it has relatively fluffy fur. Its most important characteristic is that this monster has three forms, each corresponding to one of the three moons. Once a certain form is injured or sealed, the Moon Beast can transform into another form, and in the new form, the injuries, negative effects, and even seals from the old form do not exist.
The special abilities possessed in the three different forms, such as "Filthy Moon Radiance," "Flesh Devouring," and "Chaotic Spiritual Light," are equally tricky. Coupled with its powerful spatial jumping ability, if this monster were at full strength, its power would far exceed that of a Thirteenth-Order Ring Warlock. Under the illumination of the moon, even the Witch Emperors of the Fifth Era would not dare to easily face them alone.
