Kaboom——!!!The deafening explosion made the entire castle groan.Boulders from the ceiling mixed with dust crashed down, and Veridian's consciousness was violently pulled out of the endless chaos by this impact.What awaited him was torment more unbearable than death.It was as if someone were stirring his brain with a red-hot iron rod!Two entirely different memories clashed and tugged violently in his mind.One belonged to the 21st century, that office drone who was slowly bled dry by cancer in a sterile hospital room.Another one, belonging to this world, a young vampire named Verdian.A vampire?He lay prostrate on the ice-cold, biting stone ground, gasping for breath with difficulty.His sharp fang teeth had torn his lower lip, and the faint taste of blood filled his mouth, reminding him of this utterly absurd reality.What's even more hellish is that the memories of this body are filled with deeper despair than a cancer ward.He is the "Cain Descendant," the most dilute in bloo

Darkness, dampness.The foul stench of decaying mud and unknown refuse, rich and dense as if solid, enough to make any normal person vomit on the spot.Veridian took a deep breath, feeling the darkness envelop his body. A sense of security unprecedented in his life permeated his icy limbs and bones.There is no holy light that burns the skin, no sun that overlooks all beings.Here, there is only the shadow and silence that share his origin.Here, is his paradise.He leaned against a relatively dry pipe bend, impatiently sinking his consciousness into his mind. The dark blue panel still hovered quietly, yet the data on it had undergone earth-shattering changes.【Health: 15/15】After drinking the "Sinful Blood" of that apprentice knight, not only did it replenish the life he had lost under holy light, but it also strengthened his frail body, forcefully increasing his maximum health by 5 points!A faint but undeniably present warm current still flows through his veins, the lingering echo

Almost in the very instant the colossal body of the giant crocodile was completely turned into a dry corpse.In Veridian's mind, the long-awaited final judgment from the system, like a divine oracle, crashed down!【Quality Transformation Complete!】【Congratulations, host! You have obtained your first permanent talent: [Talent · Hardened Skin (Beginner)]!】[Talent · Hardened Skin (Beginner)]: Passive talent. Your skin has been tempered through trials, undergoing a qualitative transformation in its physical structure, with significantly enhanced toughness and density. Effect: Provides a fixed reduction in physical damage.Veridian's breath hesitated for a moment.It's done.He slowly raised his left hand.This was the hand of a vampire, pale and slender, with distinct knuckles, the skin so delicate it was like fine porcelain, looking almost frail.But Veridian knew, it was different now.He walked over to the nearby stone wall, bent down, and picked up a piece of rock that had been shat

Wasting no second, Veridian's body transformed into a fleeting shadow, swiftly moving through the confined chamber.He rummaged through the wooden box, pulling out several rotten but still sturdy pieces of wood, and then manually stripped several of the toughest tendons from the giant crocodile's body.His movements were precise and efficient, his mind already constructing a perfect chain of deadly traps.Step one, the tripwire.He crafted a tripwire from tendons, nearly blending into the ground's foul water, with one end connected to the trigger of a hunter's crossbow he found in the box.The crossbow was cleverly secured by stones in an excellent shooting position. The bolts were coated in the foul, decaying blood of the giant crocodile, enough to cause sepsis.The arrowhead was precisely aimed at the entrance of the passage, targeting the most vulnerable part of an adult's leg—the calf.Step two, the lure.After everything was set up, he picked up a sharp stone fragment and struck

Viridian's footsteps abruptly froze three meters away from the woman.His heart, as if gripped by an invisible hand, seemed to halt even the flow of blood.Something's wrong!This woman exudes an eerie and unsettling aura from head to toe!Just moments ago, she was like a rag doll, subjected to Griboy'sbeat up recklessly, on the brink of death, yet now she can unleash such terrifying power, even... enjoying her "food"?What's most fatal thing is, Veridian's enhanced superhuman hearing, clearly capturing a fact that made his hair stand on end—Her heartbeat, at the moment she lunged at Griboy, completely vanished.Not a stagnation of death.But rather a self-shutdown of physiological functions under the extreme excitement![Warning! Detected unknown high concentration of vampire aura!][Attempting to parse target... Parse failed!]【Target Bloodline Purity:？？？】【Threat Level: Extremely Dangerous!!!】On the dark blue panel, a series of crimson question marks and exclamation points flashe
