"Dong, dong, dong..."The heavy, chaotic footsteps, like the drumbeats of the grim reaper, echoed from directly above, striking Veridian's heartstrings with each blow.There were multiple people coming, well-equipped, and they knew the terrain like the back of their hands.The butchers under the bone-white hand!Deep within Verdian's pupils, data streams flowed silently, his brain instantly entering a state of hyper-speed operation.[Ding! You are analyzing enemy situation, [Tactical Analysis] skill level +15!][Ding! You are facing a crisis of multiple enemies surrounding you, [Crisis Awareness] skill has been unlocked, skill level +20!]The walls of the cell were smooth, with only two gates for entry and exit, offering no other way out.A classic scenario of catching a fish in a jar.With his current strength, to confront three people head-on would be extremely difficult.But who said he was going to confront them head-on?Veridian's glancing gaze fell upon Lillith beside him.This

The Blackbone's screech,like a duck having its neck squeezed, abruptly ceased.The entire alchemy laboratory fell into a deathly silence.Veridian did not turn back, not even to confirm whether the Blackbone was dead or alive.His gaze, like that of the most devout follower staring at a miracle, fixed intently on the "treasure" piled high in the secret room."Mr. Chef," Lilith's voice came from behind, laced with a hint of satisfied laziness. She stuck out her pink tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, even though there were no traces of blood, "That 'snack' tasted quite good, though a bit stale. The meat was a bit tough, and it grated my teeth when I chewed."She hopped over to Verdian, curiously examining the bottles and jars scattered throughout the room. Her small nose twitched continuously."What are all these? They smell even sweeter than the 'snack' we had just now!""These," Verdian kept his excitement in check,but his voice remained elegant and steady, "are the top 'seaso

“Let's eat.”When Viridian's gentle voice fell, those two words seemed to transform into a curse unlocking the gates of hell.Lilith's figure, in Claude's pupils, instantly blurred, stretched, and then completely vanished.As if she had never stood there.“Protect the Lord! Ji——”The roar of the third bloodline guard on the left abruptly ceased.A pale, slender, hand like a piece of art had already pierced through his back and into his chest, still holding a bloodline heart that was faintly beating.“Thump.”Lilith tilted her head, curiously examining the "trophy" in her hand. Her small nose wings twitched slightly, and then she revealed a childlike disappointment."Huh? This 'snack's heart is so tiny. It smells of stale arrogance, not sweet at all."She flicked it away with her wrist, and the heart was tossed onto the ground like trash, while the body of that vampire guard silently turned into a pile of dust.Not a single drop of blood was splashed throughout the entire process.“Blo

In the stone chamber, the last miserable scream of the marquis had not yet faded, and everything returned to a deathly silence.Lilith licked her lips contentedly, her crimson eyes reflecting Veridian's figure, like a cat that had just eaten its favorite candy and was waiting for its master's praise."Chef, this 'dessert'... feels so warm inside my belly."Her delicate face radiated pure joy, and the blood energy emanating from her body had grown more powerful by several levels.Veridian's gaze did not linger on her.He turned elegantly, walking towards the headless corpse with its heart ripped out, as if casually strolling through his own collection room.Without a trace of hesitation, he directly reached into the corpse's cold chest cavity.A delicate small box crafted from dark gold and engraved with intricate patterns was taken out by him.【Ding! Special item "Reginald's Private Legacy" discovered!】【Contains: High-Purity Blood Crystal × 12, Ancient Blood Clan Secret Scrolls × 3,

The perfect assassination moment!However, in the thousandth of a second just as his fingertip was about to pull the trigger, Veridian's movement suddenly froze!His【Echo Location】talent had detected an extremely subtle movement.It was not the sound of friction or breathing.But rather, a flow of shadows!As if beyond the darkness where he stood, there was an even deeper darkness, breathing silently!"Interesting."A cold arc curved at the corner of Veridian's mouth.He was not nervous about being watched at all; instead, he instantly suppressed all killing intent and concealed himself even deeper into the dark crevice formed by the ceiling's debris.The crossbow was slowly lowered, replaced by a calm and detached observation.【Ding!
