Chapter 321: Dusk Demon Lures the Volunteer (4k)
Of course…
Compassion couldn’t fill one’s stomach.
Vlad wouldn’t give up on his plan just because of a little compassion.
He asked out of curiosity, “So, what about your girl? Didn’t she run with you?”
Wit slowly lowered his head, sorrowfully saying, “I diverted the golem for her; she should have returned before curfew.”
Vlad was shocked.
In front of a woman who had betrayed his feelings, Wit Gold was repaying her with kindness!
Perhaps this was what being a hero meant.
“Ah.”
Vlad sighed and said to Wit, “Come closer, I have something to tell you.”
“What can’t you say directly?”
Despite his curiosity, Wit still moved closer.
Vlad leaned in and whispered into his ear.
“What did you say?”
Unable to hear clearly, Wit was puzzled.
But Vlad had already secretly opened his mouth. Under the bloody radiance, his elongated fangs were aimed at Wit’s neck.
Vampire fangs contained a hormone that paralyzed nerves, but Vlad was borrowing Robert’s body. His teeth hadn’t fully transformed, so he needed to catch him off guard to achieve his goal!
Fortunately, Wit trusted Robert very much.
Vlad’s unusual actions didn’t arouse his suspicion at all.
“Just a little more!”
Vlad’s mouth involuntarily produced saliva.
Before the saliva dripped, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit down hard!
“Aah—”
The sharp fangs pierced the skin instantly.
Wit let out a scream.
Then, instinctively, he grabbed at Vlad’s arm.
Vlad pressed his entire body against him.
Using Robert’s superior strength and weight over Wit, he clamped down on Wit’s head and neck, pressing him forcefully to the ground.
“Robert! What are you doing? Robert!” Wit hadn’t yet realized what was happening and desperately questioned him.
But once Vlad had bitten down successfully, how could he retract? The sweet blood flowing through his fangs gave him an unparalleled thrill.
The special taste of the blood further delighted him.
His whole body trembled.
“Don’t move!”
Vlad hissed from the corner of his mouth, his power surging as he absorbed Wit’s blood, rendering him completely immobile.
Wit’s strength was nothing compared to his.
But at that moment, Wit finally noticed something was wrong.
He exclaimed in shock and anger, “You’re not Robert, who are you?”
“Hahaha!”
Vlad kicked away Wit’s mana card deck, crazily sucking his blood.
As he absorbed more blood, his fangs gradually turned red.
When his fangs became as red as gems.
Vlad’s eyes instantly turned red, and the soul that had barely taken over Robert’s body floated up.
The fangs on Wit’s neck served as a bridge for the soul transfer.
After Vlad’s final laugh, he plunged into it.
His eyes immediately lost focus.
Yet, the fangs suddenly emitted an extremely glaring red light.
The stench of blood filled the classroom.
“It went in!”
Forcibly entering Wit’s body, Vlad felt an overwhelming comfort as his soul was immersed.
If Robert’s body was like a brick house, then Wit’s body was like a grand castle.
Lying in Wit’s body felt like lying on a soft bed, irresistibly inviting.
Vlad realized he had been wrong!
He shouldn’t have endured hiding within Robert’s body for the sake of learning!
He should have transferred to the hero’s child’s body right after avoiding the initial search!
This hero’s child’s body was the perfect nest for a vampire.
Vlad even felt his soul ascend in mere seconds!
It was incredibly comfortable!
…
While Vlad indulged in Wit’s body.
Robert, regaining control of his body, slowly awoke from sleep.
He opened his eyes, bewildered.
The situation before him felt like a dream.
But the metallic taste in his mouth was real.
“I was possessed by Vlad and bit Wit?”
Robert abruptly sat up from Wit’s body.
He stared at Wit’s neck, his entire body aching, nearly falling.
“Hey, Robert.”
Suddenly, a faint green breeze brushed past Robert’s ear.
Robert jolted.
“Wit?”
He was certain the voice came from Wit Gold.
But wasn’t Wit still under him?
“Move back, Robert!”
The coolness at his ear gradually cleared his mind.
He suppressed the pain and instinctively got up from Wit’s body, stepping back a few steps.
At that moment.
Six points suddenly lit up on the classroom ceiling.
Robert blinked, and the six points turned into six slender light columns.
The light columns pierced through the ceiling and continued to descend.
Apart from a glimmer, no sound was heard.
When Robert focused his gaze, the six light columns had already embedded themselves into the floor!
From the ceiling to the floor.
A white light curtain appeared between the upper and lower layers.
The six slender light columns silently formed a complete prison.
Both Wit Gold and Vlad, who had parasitized his body, were trapped inside the “Six-Column Light Prison”!
When Vlad successfully took over Wit Gold’s body and looked around, he was separated from Robert outside the prison by an unbreakable light barrier.
“Stay away, Robert,” the voice reminded again.
Robert stared at Wit in the light prison, his eyelids twitching.
But he ultimately chose to trust the voice and retreated further back.
Inside the light prison, “Wit Gold” was bewildered.
Vlad had successfully parasitized.
But the “ascension” he desired did not occur.
This sense of loss overwhelmed the fear of being trapped in the light prison.
“What happened? Where did I go wrong?”
Vlad slowly straightened himself in the light prison.
His gaze scanned aimlessly.
Suddenly.
A familiar figure appeared in his vision.
At the back door of the classroom.
The golden-haired youth, controlling the Cat Goddess, calmly walked into the classroom.
The Robert he had previously parasitized, who had yet to be “consumed,” revealed a look of joy upon seeing the golden-haired youth.
“Dusk! Are you helping me?”
The loud voice reverberated, causing Vlad to feel dizzy.
“What happened? Where did I go wrong?”
He gripped his head, trying to recall.
Then, a spark of insight flashed.
But he then saw the golden-haired youth draw a magic card emitting a golden aura from his sleeve.
The golden aura symbolized a gold card…
…
Dusk Daimon entered the classroom, his steps calm but cautious.
Vlad walked right into the trap as expected.
But vampires were the most deceitful creatures.
Once they let their guard down, they showed their fangs.
Last time in the secret passage, Vlad had escaped by self-detonating.
This time, Dusk didn’t want any accidents.
Before the professors arrived, he wouldn’t act rashly.
…
Facing the surprised Robert, Dusk pointed at him with a magic card that had nothing on its face.
“Stop, Robert.”
“Huh?”
Although surprised, Robert obediently stopped.
At that moment, they were at a relatively safe distance apart.
Dusk carefully observed Robert and “Wit” in the “Six-Column Light Prison” when he suddenly said, “Professor, it’s time to come down.”
Then…
A gentle green breeze whispered, “I’m coming.”
Moments later.
A six-pointed star magic circle lit up on the ceiling.
The entire ceiling was penetrated by the magic circle’s light.
Professor Kazel, directly above, jumped into the magic circle, passing through the thick floor, and landed in the classroom.
Professor Kazel waved his wand, wrapping wind wings around his feet.
He then descended on the wind, appearing between Dusk and Robert.
Looking up…
Professor Shylph descended with Wit Gold.
Professor Kazel’s sudden appearance startled Robert, but also brought him some relief.
At that moment, he hadn’t realized he had broken curfew.
But with the arrival of Professor Shylph and Wit Gold, Robert’s eyes darted back and forth, his mouth wide open, as he alternated between looking at the real Wit and the one in the “Six-Column Light Prison.”
…
Seeing the professors arrive, Dusk relaxed slightly.
He said directly, “Professor, let’s confirm first.”
Professor Kazel frowned and suddenly pointed his wand at Robert.
A flash of magical energy illuminated him.
Robert shivered, the last remnants of blood in his body dispelled by the magic.
Professor Kazel nodded and turned to the “Six-Column Light Prison.”
“Kazel, will your barrier hold?” Professor Shylph asked.
Kazel casually replied, “Shylph, you’ve asked this many times. It can hold souls!”
“That’s good.” Professor Shylph’s brows remained furrowed. “Soul existence is too ethereal. I don’t know how to deal with something I can’t specifically comprehend.”
Kazel nodded. “Same here. I only understand more about souls due to certain events. On this subject, shamans of some beast tribes are more knowledgeable.
For example, the Owls among bird people can see souls at night. But I’ve used the ‘Six-Column Light Prison’ to capture souls before, so there won’t be any issues. Ask whatever you want while it’s still alive.”
Shylph threw Wit towards Robert and approached the “Six-Column Light Prison.”
Kazel and Dusk also moved closer.
Wit stood steady and patted Robert’s shoulder, whispering, “Are you okay, Robert?”
“Just a bit tired.” Robert breathed out, suppressing the urge to ask questions right away.
He sensed the atmosphere and knew now wasn’t the time to inquire.
Wit smiled bitterly, looking at “himself” in the “Six-Column Light Prison,” the shadow deep within his heart surfacing.
He whispered, “Don’t worry, Robert. At least we don’t have to be confined now.”
…
Dusk followed the two professors to the “Six-Column Light Prison.”
Then he heard Professor Shylph ask, “Vlad? Where are you from?”
Vlad raised his eyelids, glanced at her, and sneered.
Dusk said, “Professor, he might not know either.”
Vlad’s expression changed, and he glared at him fiercely.
This confirmed Dusk’s judgment.
Professor Shylph’s frown deepened. “Vlad, who are you?”
This time, Vlad simply turned his gaze away, staring fixedly at the distant Wit,不甘心.
That spark of insight made him remember the golem he had once battled, which had transformed into his form.
Seeing the real Wit Gold now, he realized he was done for!
A vampire like Vlad, unable to distinguish between humans and golems, was terrifying!
Vlad was terrified by this undifferentiated “transformation.”
Parasitizing a golem was like parasitizing a mana ball.
Though the mana ball was very special and contained parts he couldn’t understand.
But a mana ball was still a mana ball.
Once the golem’s master ended the summoning, the mana ball would vanish.
And Vlad, parasitizing within, would revert to just a soul.
Without a body, Vlad, whose soul was already incomplete, would be at the mercy of others.
Thinking of this,
Vlad felt no fear.
Whether dead or alive,
Better die gloriously before losing the ability to “commit suicide.”
Better die gloriously before becoming someone else’s prey.
A vampire mustn’t be underestimated!
Vlad propped himself up, slowly standing, and coldly laughed at Dusk and the two professors. “You win this time. But the glory of vampires will never fade. Even if I die, there will be countless others. This world will eventually be embraced by demons!”
…
“Dusk!” Professor Shylph’s voice was stern.
Dusk’s mind stirred, injecting a trace of magic into his fingertips.
The “Wit Gold” in the “Six-Column Light Prison” suddenly melted.
But Vlad couldn’t be stopped by this alone if he wanted to commit suicide.
His soul disintegrated in an instant.
“Puff.”
The explosion that followed was neither pleasant nor melodious.
