Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

”By the way, everyone must be extremely cautious right now. Aisaco is definitely planning something. He has already received the Goddess of Love’s blessing.”

Loren gave a warning. Gwen was still keeping a constant eye on Aisaco, guarding against his next move.

According to Aisaco’s own account, the blessing he received was that he would never die as long as his heart remained undestroyed.

But based on Loren’s understanding of Aisaco, this was absolutely false. Just what Loren had seen through Gwen wasn’t that simple.

Aisaco had forcibly taken a direct hit of Furad’s Blood Moon Condensed Light. His entire body was gone, yet his heart remained completely unscathed. At the very least, there was a blessing that made his heart extremely sturdy.

On the other side, Aisaco, now completely mutated, sat in a chair. The chair was sinking into the mass of flesh and blood that constituted his body.

”Everyone, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. I think we can sit down and talk. Why must it be a fight to the death?”

Hearing this, Furad also took a seat.

”You created the Bloodline Rebels, orchestrated a rebellion, and caused heavy losses to the Bloodline. Is this what you call negotiation?”

Furad crossed her legs, her gaze towards Aisaco far from friendly.No one else interjected. With Duke Furad present, even Marquis Ofemia did not have the right to speak.

”I need to make you understand my capabilities first. Then I will have the leverage to negotiate.”

”Speak. What do you want, and what can you offer us?”

Even now, Furad remained arrogant, not taking Aisaco too seriously.

Compared to his threats, Furad cared more about Aisaco’s potential benefits.

At the same time, she wasn’t worried that Aisaco could stir up any more trouble. Furad believed that as long as she was here, Aisaco was under her control.

”My value, I believe you have all seen it. I can continue to improve the medicine at any time. I was able to develop a drug that weakens the vampire Bloodline, so I can definitely research something that enhances the vampire Bloodline.

”Those dead vampires didn’t have much value anyway. Once I develop the Bloodline-enhancing drug, you can just Bestow the Embrace on a few more at will.”

Aisaco didn’t state his demands immediately. Instead, he first proved his worth.

”So you did it on purpose!”

Ofemia couldn’t help but shout out, but the moment Furad turned to look at her, Ofemia obediently shut her mouth.

”Enhancing the Bloodline... Can it elevate one’s rank?”

This condition stirred something in Furad. No matter how strong a Duke was, they were still merely mortal. Only by becoming a Prince would her life undergo a qualitative transformation.

”It’s very difficult to achieve at the moment, but not necessarily impossible.”

Aisaco spoke eloquently. Because his entire body had become a mass of flesh, Gwen couldn’t even see his expression.

The flesh on his body writhed continuously, struggling to piece itself back into its original form. Many vampires felt a wave of nausea upon seeing this.

”Then what do you want?”

By now, the flesh finally seemed to know how to assemble a face. Aisaco’s face grew right there on top of the puddle of flesh and blood.

”Three hundred years ago was my wedding day. A vampire suddenly broke in, killed my beloved and my family, and turned me into a vampire.

”I want you to help me find him. When the time comes, I will make him feel the pain of losing everything.”

”Do you have any other information? Such as that Bloodline member’s rank.”

Furad began thinking about how to help Aisaco find that vampire. The difficulty was significant, but not impossible.

If they knew the specific rank, they could have vampires of the next higher rank question their subordinates one by one, using Bloodline suppression to force them to tell the truth.

As long as they questioned everyone, they would eventually find him, if he was still alive.

”I know nothing.”

Aisaco was turned into an ordinary vampire at the time. It wasn’t that only Barons could create ordinary vampires; it was that a Baron’s upper limit was only that. But any ranked vampire could turn someone into an ordinary vampire, just with different upper limits.

So the search would be very difficult, but not impossible, as long as the benefits were sufficient.

Furad believed that if they could truly enhance the Bloodline, all vampires would agree to help Aisaco with this.

However, Loren did not believe Aisaco’s words. So much time had passed; Aisaco’s hatred had long since twisted, transforming from hatred for the perpetrator into hatred for all vampires.

Loren even suspected that the perpetrator had already been killed by Aisaco long ago. It was just that Aisaco still needed hatred to sustain his existence, which was why he chose to make an enemy of the entire Bloodline.

”It doesn’t matter. At most, it just increases the difficulty. I agree to this deal.”

”Then... a pleasant cooperation. Do we need to sign a contract?”

By now, hands had grown from Aisaco’s body. He beckoned, and a Monster Hunter behind him immediately handed a contract to Aisaco.

”No need. My witness is sufficient.”

The vampires had been tricked by Loren using a contract before, so they chose not to use one. The witness of a Duke was enough.

”Good. It just so happens tonight is the night of the full moon. Why doesn’t everyone admire the moon? Other countries don’t have such a beautiful moon.”

Aisaco stood up, stepped over the corpses of his subordinates, and walked to the center of the courtyard.

A sudden sense of unease welled up in Loren’s heart. He watched Aisaco through Gwen’s eyes and saw Aisaco’s expression was somewhat distorted, twisted with excitement.

It seemed his revenge was about to succeed.

”Look!”

Like a child, Aisaco pointed at the moon, cheering and jumping for joy. Everyone followed his pointing finger and looked, only to see the moon falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Loren’s pupils contracted sharply. He suddenly thought of something.

”The night of the full moon, a rapidly falling moon, targeting vampires, a pit of corpses, the corpses of Uridians... the corpses of dark creatures!

”Anomaly 1-086: Corrupt Blazing Sun!”

Putting all these characteristics together instantly made Loren think of an Anomaly.

The Corrupt Blazing Sun was a Tier 1 Anomaly, enough to plunge the vast majority of people into crisis. Destroying a country or even a continent would be effortless for it.

The appearance of the Corrupt Blazing Sun required the night of a full moon and the piling together of a massive quantity of dark creature corpses. Dark creatures were those who had never seen sunlight. Loren only remembered subterranean creatures counted as dark creatures, but he had forgotten one thing: Uridians had never seen the sun either.

The lower-class people of Uridia had no chance to go abroad and couldn’t possibly have seen the sun, fitting the definition of dark creatures. This was the reason Aisaco had been collecting Uridian corpses all along.

Creatures irradiated by the Corrupt Blazing Sun would rapidly rot, eventually being absorbed by it, further strengthening it.

The Corrupt Blazing Sun was also a sun, having a suppressive effect on vampires as well, but it would indiscriminately kill all living beings.

”Quick! Get underground!”

Loren picked up Lilith, kicked the door open, and ran towards the basement where Cecelia had previously imprisoned him.
