Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 482 My dearest friend has been dead for many years; standing before me is a man-eating demon.
"Milavia...a beautiful name...a new name, a new life...you've been reborn, haven't you?"

In the deserted wilderness, Anne stood beside her brother's corpse.

She slowly knelt down and gently closed Sebastian's open eyes.

"Brother, you're tired. You really should rest."

Miravia had been staring at Anne in front of her without saying a word since the beginning.

"Don't you want to say anything? If you want to kill me, you can do it..."

“Anne… In this world, there aren’t many people who can appear in my life so quietly.” Miravia looked at Anne with a complicated expression.

Annie tilted her head. "So?"

"So... the one who was actually turned into a blood progenitor by Cain wasn't Sebastian, but you, right?" Miravia asked in a complicated tone.

Anne smiled. "Is that why you said that? Because I was able to come to you so quietly?"

“Sebastian isn’t as strong as you… A high-level vampire can’t possibly be stronger than the Blood Ancestor himself. Besides… Sebastian isn’t as strong as he seems,” Miravia said.

She had actually suspected something for a long time, but Sebastian had confused her with the past. Now that Sebastian had returned to the past, her reason had returned.

Sebastian had been somewhat overwhelmed when dealing with his own disruptive spells earlier...

Miravia hadn't expected to succeed when she was interfering with Sebastian.

Now, seeing Anne in front of her, Miravia finally confirmed her suspicions... Sebastian was only slightly stronger than an ordinary high-level vampire.

In other words, Anne is the true progenitor of the bloodline; she has always maintained self-awareness, contrary to her previous assumption that she had lost herself.

It wasn't like she thought, that she was forcibly turned into a vampire by Sebastian, but rather that she did it willingly...

Perhaps, it is Sebastian who has lost himself?
“You’re only half right, Miravia.” Anne’s smile was as sweet as ever.

However, in Miravia's memory, she had never smiled...

How could someone cursed by dark magic and on the verge of death possibly laugh?

But to put it bluntly, Miravia would rather see the Anne who never smiled right now...

Which half did I guess correctly?

Anne said, "I am indeed the Blood Ancestor, you guessed right... but it wasn't Cain who turned me into the Blood Ancestor."

“You mean…” Miravia raised an eyebrow.

Anne said, "I don't remember which year it was, but I was almost dead. Sebastian put me in a backpack with a 'Seamless Stretching Charm' and carried me around looking for a cure. I begged him to let me die, I was in so much pain, but he wouldn't agree and kept searching... Then he accidentally woke up that sleeping monster in some ruins. Or rather... that monster was never really asleep."

"Perhaps Sebastian possessed the qualities that monster valued, so the monster didn't kill us back then, but instead offered a cure to turn me into a vampire... To save me, Sebastian agreed to all his conditions. So, the monster turned him into a vampire progenitor. However... the monster only told him after Sebastian was fully transformed that the success rate of a vampire progenitor turning into a vampire was very low, and that he wouldn't help my brother turn me into a vampire... At that time, my brother was almost insane. He kept attacking the monster. But... my newly transformed brother was no match for that monster..."

"That monster still didn't kill us, but watched us leave... because he knew that no vampire could resist the temptation of blood... Tell me, what do you think a hungry vampire would do if there happened to be a living person next to him?"

Miravia frowned deeply. "That monster wants Sebastian to drain you dry..."

"Yes... this might be a means for that monster to amuse himself, or it could be that he wants to use this method to erase my brother's emotions as a human being..."

"Either take the enormous risk of transforming your own sister, or hesitate indefinitely, and then succumb to the thirst for blood, draining your own sister's blood..."

"But what he didn't expect was that Sebastian, my brother, made a third choice... He gave me the Heart of Blood..."

“Using the Heart of Blood to become a vampire guarantees success, so I became the new Blood Ancestor… And Sebastian, without the Heart of Blood, although he lost the strength of the Blood Ancestor and his rank dropped to that of a high-ranking vampire, precisely because of this, he still retained his self-awareness. He still seems to possess the aura of the Blood Ancestor in his daily life…”

"However, my brother wasn't Cain after all. When he used the Blood Heart to transform me, he ultimately failed to make me a complete Blood Ancestor. To help me achieve perfection, coupled with his hatred for that monster, he plotted for many years, hoping I would devour the Blood Hearts of other Blood Ancestors... But then the vampire's secret was exposed, making him everyone's enemy. All the Blood Ancestors suffered heavy losses..."

Miravia sighed. "You succeeded... So, that's why Cain found Sebastian and wanted to take action against him. And... you hid all along to keep Sebastian intimidating Cain, so that when he felt he could kill Sebastian, you could strike first... That's why Sebastian didn't reveal the truth until his dying breath. He did it all to protect you from Cain."

“That’s right,” Anne smiled.

Miravia stared intently at Anne, saying nothing more.

Anne asked, "Aren't you curious why I just stood by and watched my brother die without saying a word, and only came out now?"

Miravia shook her head. "Sebastian hates Cain, and you... hate both Cain and Sebastian... In today's situation, Cain will die, and Sebastian will die... So, you didn't need to come out at all. Sebastian begged me not to hurt you before he died, and you..." Miravia could no longer understand these two siblings.

Anne raised her hands and applauded Miravia. "Congratulations, you guessed right. So... why am I out here again now?"

Miravia calmly said, "Because you hate me too... because of me, your brother died. You must kill your own brother after you've accomplished everything, instead of having someone else do it for you."

"Wow, you guessed right again!" Annie exclaimed in surprise. "It seems you really aren't a good person. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to guess what I was thinking."

“But… with your abilities, you could have easily tried to rescue Sebastian and then killed him yourself. Why didn’t you do it?” Miravia asked.

“Because the boy who came with you was too powerful. Dealing with him would be very troublesome,” Anne said calmly. “So I could only watch helplessly as my brother died at his hands… I only came out after he left. There was no other way… I had to kill you first, and then find a way to kill him later. To avenge my brother.”

Miravia felt a tremendous sense of absurdity... She herself wanted to kill her brother, and now she had to avenge him.

"If you're going to tell me all this, you shouldn't have appeared in front of me in the first place. You're wary of Livid's strength, but am I really that weak?" The wand on the ground returned to Miravia's hand.

“Oh? So you’re finally going to kill me? Kill your best friend’s sister…” Anne looked at Miravia with great interest.

“Sebastian and Anne are both dead, many years ago. What stands before me now is merely a vengeful spirit seeking to attack me and avenge another vampire,” Miravia said.

Having been trapped for decades, she has always been deeply attached to the people and things of the past, because these have been the spiritual pillars that have kept her going all these years. That's why Sebastian's few words disturbed her peace of mind.

But now it seems that people do change, and the good old days are ultimately gone...

After they became tainted with vampire blood, their past selves died... just like their former selves who were once bewitched by the remnants, losing themselves without even realizing it...

So, what's standing in front of her now isn't a human, but a ghost... a man-eating demon...

Anne smiled and said, "You're right. I heard... you've fought against other Blood Ancestors, so you must have thought that my abilities are about the same as those trash..."

"Pfft!"

Before Anne could finish speaking, she was already behind Miravia, and her right hand pierced through Miravia's chest...

Miravia's eyes were complex, showing a hint of relief and a hint of sadness... but no pain whatsoever!

Annie also sensed something was wrong... the feel was off!
"I see. Then I have nothing to worry about..."

As Miravia spoke, the figure that Anne had pierced through gradually disappeared, and the real Miravia was already standing behind her.

The next second, thunder rumbled again from the cloudless sky!
……

Li Weide had been observing that large tomb for a long time.

After that consciousness didn't enter, it was like a small drop of water returning to the ocean, without causing even a ripple.

He thought some weird or chaotic thing was going to come out!
After all, when he stopped, he didn't bother to conceal his whereabouts, so that guy must have known he was chasing after him.

After a while, Li Weide found a good spot nearby and cleared out a flat area.

He picked up his wand and used the Cutting Charm to carve intricate ancient runes into the cold, hard earth.

Quickly, a circular magic circle was inscribed on the ground.

At the same time, he also turned a nearby stone into a pillar and placed it next to the magic circle.

A double-sided mirror, meticulously polished by Li Weide, was hung on the stone pillar, facing the direction of the large tomb.

After completing all this, Li Wade concealed the magic circle before riding Alduin away quickly...

The progenitor of vampires came from that eerie great tomb...

So, who knows what will come out next?

This suggests that the problem of the large tomb is not just a problem he faces alone; it may be a problem that all of humanity must face.

Perhaps we could ask an Eastern Taoist priest who knows feng shui to take a look?
