Chapter 214: Life Has Its Dreams, Each Splendid in Their Own Way (4k)
As they say, thoughts during the day lead to dreams at night.
Dark spent the entire day studying the records of the炼成阵, naturally leading him to dream about things related to it.
In his dream, he successfully crafted twelve Golden Sacred Garments, with one randomly selected each morning from the week, for two consecutive weeks without any repeats!
What?
Two weeks have fourteen days, but there are only twelve Sacred Garments?
Isn’t having fourteen Golden Sacred Garments common knowledge?
Once all the Golden Sacred Garments are collected, adding a set of Capital Sin Weapons wouldn’t that be great?
At that time, what’s twelve Golden Sacred Outfits, what Valkyries…
No, first I should give Eevee a small dress!
Other familiars have small dresses, our magical beasts should too!
“Bang!”
Eevee, forced into a small dress, kicked him right in the face!
…
In the midst of a huge roar, Dark suddenly woke up.
The moment he turned his head, he saw an unimaginable scene before him.
A large opening had been made on the side of the Dragon Nest Mirror Room!
“Oh no!”
…
A few minutes earlier.
Vlad had built up his emotions for three minutes outside the secret room before slamming his hand against the wall.
Even though his memories were fragmented, and he didn’t know where he was, he could still recognize hidden doors like this, which could be triggered by pouring mana.
Just like how he could quickly discern the magic talent and current level of Wit and others after regaining consciousness!
Among the four human children.
The most solidly built one was only at the Apprentice Mage level, with relatively ordinary magic talent, but decent physique, barely qualifying as a potential Swordmage.
Unfortunately, seeing him wear a robe-like uniform, he must have taken the wrong path.
The other pockmarked tall one had slightly stronger magic talent than the first, but it was still limited, and his physique was weak, with no room for advancement.
In the demon world, he was at the bottom!
Only the girl had a bit of a sage’s demeanor, with decent magic talent, but she was born human, so her mana had limits; she could only become an elite mage among humans.
Most surprising to Vlad was the black-haired teenager, who had magic talent comparable to high-ranking demons!
This immediately made him want to take him as a blood slave.
Of course, after enjoying himself thoroughly!
…
With his palm covered in mana striking the wall, the entrance to the secret passage opened.
Vlad sneered wickedly, ready to enter.
But as soon as he bent down, thunderous sounds suddenly erupted!
An electric eel covered in lightning instantly emerged, almost swallowing Vlad’s head in one bite!
Vlad jerked his head back, lifting his hands in an instant, grabbing the electric eel’s jaws before it could fully swallow him!
“Wit!”
Betty’s voice rose sharply.
“Yes!”
Wit responded abruptly, and a massive white python suddenly burst out of his card!
The narrow secret room couldn’t contain such a colossal light python; everyone except Wit pressed themselves against the walls.
Wit held the魔导卡, watching as half of the light python materialized in a flash of light, then charged out of the room, smashing Vlad into the opposite wall along with the slightly smaller electric eel!
“BOOM!”
A loud explosion.
Wit roared, “Sacred Light!”
The light python’s mouth instantly emitted sacred white light, burning the vampire’s skin like flames!
The mutual restraint between light and darkness made Vlad feel the initial pain of rebirth!
But this was just the beginning!
Seeing Vlad’s constitution weaken, Betty immediately activated a prepared magic spell card—”Lightning Slurry Bomb”!
Magic cards can be divided into two modes: one initiated by the magus themselves, and another attached to a魔导精灵, released as a必杀技!
Betty’s magic card belonged to the latter.
That seven-level water/thunder dual-element white card—”Canaan Electric Eel”—finally had a way to unleash its thunderous energy under the influence of “Lightning Slurry Bomb.”
Its upper and lower jaws were still firmly held by Vlad, but lightning slurry flowed from its throat, drenching Vlad’s head.
Then, more lightning slurry gathered into a ball in its mouth, crackling with thunderous explosions.
After a short period of energy accumulation, the Canaan Electric Eel launched the explosive lightning ball directly at Vlad’s head!
“BOOM!”
The explosion, at extreme proximity, blew off the Canaan Electric Eel’s head!
Betty’s魔导精灵卡 dimmed instantly.
Wit’s light python also suffered.
But if this level of sacrifice could kill Vlad, it would be sheer luck!
…
All four stared wide-eyed at the vampire surrounded by lightning slurry, wishing they could turn him into mush with their eyes alone!
“Cough!”
The vampire’s body shook violently.
The lightning slurry attached to his head fell to the ground.
Wit and the others immediately tensed up.
Betty reacted the fastest, charging out of the secret room almost instantly.
Vlad had completely endured the damage from “Lightning Slurry Bomb” but was still alive. The secret room, once discovered, was useless for hiding. Instead, its narrowness hindered escape.
“Run!”
She said nothing more, turning to flee as soon as she exited the room.
Scott and Robert, though not as quick-witted as Betty, needed no brains to run…
Only Wit hesitated for a moment before hurriedly following.
But the moment he reached the room’s entrance, he felt an ominous premonition.
This feeling wasn’t new.
Each time it appeared, it signaled impending danger.
His experience allowed him to react swiftly.
In that instant, he stopped abruptly, sidestepped, pressing against the wall.
Less than half a second later.
The vampire, covered in lightning slurry, suddenly opened his mouth, using his fangs as support, gathering magical power like blood, completing the process in an instant. A massive spell circle appeared instantly, followed by a crimson beam of light shooting through the amplification of the spell circle!
Wit, tightly pressed against the wall, saw the crimson beam, thicker than the light python’s body, rush past him.
It shot straight towards the mirror in front of him!
Wit broke out in cold sweat, experiencing a near-death encounter for the first time. His heart nearly leapt out of his chest.
The mirror, hit directly by the beam, melted instantly without hesitation.
Scattered light reflected through the mirror rapidly turned the entire room red.
Wit’s face turned blood-red, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Only much later did he realize that the mirrors weren’t the only thing melted; the walls behind them—specifically some kind of spatial structure—were also affected!
A giant hole appeared in the room, connecting to another mirror room!
…
The sound of the explosion quickly subsided.
Breathing sounds filled the air.
Cold wind whirled around the hole, causing air currents to interact.
Lucky to escape the secret room, Betty and the others couldn’t help but stop.
Robert let out a terrified scream, running back desperately.
“Wit! Wit!”
His voice was full of fear, even with the vampire right in front of him.
…
Vlad’s lightning slurry had completely dripped away, revealing his true face.
His once flowing hair was destroyed, and most of his face had been melted by the “Lightning Slurry Bomb,” exposing pale bone.
His lipless mouth was half-open.
Steamy blood mist hovered around his mouth.
Utterly disheveled!
Vlad’s eyes burned with fury, the melted skin healing visibly fast.
But hair was harder to regenerate; a few remaining strands hung limply from his scalp, looking desolate.
Clothes torn by the “Lightning Slurry Bomb” reformed, weaving themselves back into complete garments.
Ignoring nearby Robert, Vlad suddenly shifted his gaze to the fleeing Betty!
He couldn’t comprehend how a human girl with only average magic talent could summon the Canaan electric eel.
There was no information in his fragmented memories.
Could this human girl have an exceptional innate talent for summoning magic?
Vlad’s expression became increasingly sinister. Betty became his second target for transformation into a blood slave!
Only by turning her into a blood slave could he erase the previous humiliation!
…
Robert rushed into the secret room.
Inside, chaos reigned; he thought Wit might have been vaporized!
“Here.”
Until Wit weakly reminded him, Robert turned around and saw Wit near the wall.
“Thank goodness, you’re alive!”
Robert hugged Wit tightly, joy overwhelming his face.
Wit was too weak to resist, allowing himself to be held.
“Where’s the vampire?”
“The vampire…”
Robert recalled, his face turning pale.
“…still alive…”
One sentence…
One sentence later, Wit struggled to leave the secret room.
At this moment, he finally noticed the giant hole in the wall!
But because the other side of the hole was also a mirror room, it caused a visual error.
Robert noticed it upon entering.
But he hadn’t paid attention then.
Now, he couldn’t help but wonder: “Was there actually a larger hidden room inside the secret room?”
This thought ended when a fluttering sound came from the other end of the giant hole.
…
The imp beast slowly flew to the edge of the hole, pretending to ignore Wit and Robert inside, internally ranting furiously.
Such a distinctive familiar was unique in St. Maryan.
Wit and Robert immediately realized who the person opposite them must be!
“We can escape through the hole!”
“If Dark were here…”
Different thoughts crossed their minds.
Dark Diemon appeared in their view, following closely behind the imp beast.
“Hey?”
…
Who would have thought that the hero’s small secret room and the Valkyrie’s large secret room were separated by just a “wall”?
Judging by size, the hero Brett might have simply taken a corner from the Valkyrie’s room…
Maybe he just did it to fit in, saying casually, “Oh, you’ve got a hideout? Me too.”
Dark cautiously peered over: “You don’t look so good?”
Wit and Robert were conflicted.
Before they could say more, Vlad, already heading toward Betty, suddenly appeared at the entrance of the small room.
Covered in scars, the difference in color between new and old skin made his face look patchy.
Vlad’s sharp gaze made the newly arrived human child give him an indescribable feeling.
It was a sensation only high-ranking demons could sense, one that was hard to control.
Even after smelling Dark’s scent, he suppressed his humiliation, putting the punishment of Betty on hold!
But he couldn’t distinguish what that feeling was.
It was faint and strange, unsettling his mind.
…
Wit and Robert were terrified by Vlad’s sudden appearance nearby, instinctively moving toward Dark.
Vlad showed no reaction to their actions!
Dark hesitated: “Vampire?”
Given that it didn’t look like cosplay, Dark couldn’t help but tense up.
…
Perhaps thinking Vlad would harm Wit and Robert.
Unaware she had narrowly escaped, Betty launched a sneak attack to buy them time to escape!
“Skunk Bomb!”
A brown projectile rolled to Vlad’s feet, exploding instantly!
Smoke spread rapidly, releasing a deadly stench.
This skill, released by a two-star魔导精灵, unexpectedly proved effective.
Vlad screamed in agony amidst the smoke.
Wit summoned his last bit of strength, dragging his weak legs toward the giant hole.
Robert lagged behind but caught up, pulling his arm and sprinting!
The narrow space was crossed in an instant.
On the other side, Dark immediately moved aside, allowing them to cross the gap and escape.
“Vampire?” Dark asked again.
“Vampire!” Robert replied hastily.
The last remnants of sleepiness in Dark’s eyes vanished instantly.
Now it was pointless to ponder why there was a vampire in the secret passage.
If Minotaur could appear out of nowhere, an extra vampire wasn’t significant.
Prepare for battle!
