Chapter 244 [Great Luo Cave Observation] Side Effect: Peeping

"just kidding."

Seeing that Caius hadn't reacted yet, Leon covered up his emotions with a light laugh.

Even if he were truly prepared to take the other party as his dog, he couldn't rashly reveal that he could indeed break the blood pact with that lord.

Given the current situation, it's best for him not to draw too much attention.

Upon hearing this, Caius immediately snapped out of his daze and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

He said that there must be a dragon behind the dragon in front of him, otherwise how could a fourth-level professional break the blood pact of the Lord?

Slightly relieved, the vampire wore a flattering smile: "You are quite witty, but what do you think of my suggestion?"

Do you know what price Christine paid?

Instead of answering Caius's question directly, Leon didn't pose another question.

Without waiting for the other person to think, he gave the answer: "Life."

Upon hearing this, the black-haired vampire's expression instantly darkened.

Even though he had suspected it for a long time, he still couldn't help but hesitate when his guess was actually confirmed.

After a moment's thought, Caius said to Leon in a serious tone, "Could you give me two days to consider this?"

In response to his request, Li Ang nodded slightly: "Okay."

This is a lie.

No matter what choice the black-haired vampire makes, he will ultimately be turned into a "pseudo-Servant." His fate was sealed the moment he set foot on Morabis.

This Bloodline executive knew too much, and Li Ang could not allow him to leave the planet uncontrollably. The reason he agreed to the other party's request was only to create the illusion that he really had a dragon behind him, so as to make that Lord hesitate to act against him in the short term.

Upon hearing this, Caius bowed slightly to show his respect: "Thank you, Your Excellency. I will give you an answer in a couple of days."

After speaking, he transformed into a cloud of black mist and disappeared into the shadows.

Seeing this, Li Ang did not stop him and let the other party disappear from sight.

Perhaps the black-haired vampire was confident that he could evade his detection, but under the [Great Luo Cave Observation], a mere fifth-level professional was clearly nowhere to hide.

If Caius tries to contact that lord in the next two days, he will only face destruction.

At this moment, Christine, who hadn't said a word since seeing Caius, suddenly spoke up: "Master, should I go and check on him?"

As a [pseudo-Servant] personally modified by Li Ang, she naturally knew that there was no such thing as a "dragon behind the scenes," and that her former boss was really overthinking things.

But since her master wanted to put on an act, she had no choice but to cooperate obediently.

"Need not."

Li Ang waved his hand slightly, declining Christine's offer.

After a brief encounter, he had already seen through Caius's true nature.

People like black-haired vampires will make up a lot of things in their minds even if you don't say anything to them, and certain behaviors will make them wary.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Li Ang is wrong; it just means he'll have to spend more time cleaning up.

Seeing that her master had his own ideas, Christine didn't say anything more, just nodded to indicate that she understood, playing the role of a well-behaved and obedient girl.

Just as Li Ang had guessed, not long after leaving, Caius hid motionless in the shadow of a tree.

Recalling the conversation just now, his eyes began to flicker.

'die.'

Right now, the black-haired vampire isn't worried about being hunted down after breaking free from the Lord's control, but rather what will happen if the dragons don't keep their promise.

After all, life is only once, and once you die, you're really dead.

Caius was willing to sign a contract with some restrictions, but he also knew that he had no room for negotiation.

However, he soon realized that he seemed to have gone astray, since the planet's current strength made it easy to take him down.

'As expected, those dragons didn't care about me at all.'

Caius was invigorated at the sight of the Great Luo Cave, completely unaware that he was under constant surveillance.

With that in mind, the black-haired vampire did not hesitate any longer and immediately chose to turn back.

But when he returned to the place where they had talked, he found that the fourth-level dragon cub was still standing there, as if it had expected him to return.

'Terrifying! Did they even anticipate my reaction?'

As the thought flashed through his mind, Caius's fear intensified.

Unfortunately, the truth was completely different from what he thought. The reason Li Ang did not leave was simply to level the land and, incidentally, to help Elise make a new toy.

However, he was not surprised that the black-haired vampire had returned, since the other party had never left his "sight" from beginning to end.

Before Caius could speak, Leon asked without turning his head, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes, I've made up my mind. I'm willing to pay the price, even if it costs me my life."

Upon hearing the sound, Caius responded quickly, but then found himself in a long wait.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Seeing that the young dragon not far away had not spoken for a long time, Caius became increasingly anxious, but dared not urge him.

Finally, amidst a series of crisp claps, Li Ang looked with great satisfaction at the land before him, which had been restored to its original level.

'I should be able to let Elise cause trouble for a while longer. I'll bring her some local specialties when I have the chance.'

The so-called local specialties are naturally the soil from various planets in the world of the journey. I don't know why the black dog dragon loves to eat soil so much, even though Li Ang and Sophia have never skimped on her dog food.

Not intending to delve into the matter, Li Ang turned to Caius, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said, "I will inform my brother about this matter, and I will let you know whether it succeeds or fails."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Caiuston breathed a sigh of relief; he finally had a chance to escape his inevitable death.

There was no elder brother; this was merely an excuse Li Ang used to deceive the other party.

Besides, he does have an older brother, but he's not in this world.

'We can only make things harder for Old Tang.'

……

Two days flew by.

Caius arrived at the agreed location, which was the metal governor's mansion in plain sight, following the instructions in the message he received.

Unlike his previous sneak in, this time he clearly sensed a portal emitting spatial fluctuations.

"."

Looking at the rift emitting a faint blue light, Caius hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.

As his vision blurred, his surroundings suddenly changed.

'This is the Alchemy Kingdom?'

It was just spatial teleportation. Caius had lived for so many years and naturally had many similar experiences. In fact, the space in front of him was not amazing to him.

The black-haired vampire could easily name more than ten extraordinary buildings far more magnificent than this place: the Glorious Arena, the Temple of Truth, and the Dragon's Nest. However, he had only seen pictures of most of these locations online.

But no matter how magnificent these places were, they could not conceal the awe that Caius felt in his heart at that moment.

The reason is simple: at this moment, a powerful professional who makes no attempt to conceal his aura is standing not far away, coldly watching him.

Looking at the other party's golden eyes, which were exactly the same as those of the planetary governor from the previous two days, Caius's Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously.

But he quickly forced a smile and said in a very humble tone, "You...you must be His Majesty Norton?"

To be honest, Caius never expected this situation before entering the Alchemy Kingdom. The aura emanating from the dragon in front of him almost made him faint.

Especially under the gaze of those golden eyes, the black-haired vampire felt as if he were being stared at by the sun, about to be burned to ashes along with his soul.

太阳
In Caius's memory, his race had once been terrified of this celestial body that illuminated all things, but they should no longer have this weakness after the Lord modified their bloodline.

'Could such a terrifying sixth-level lord be a match for him?'

Just as Caius was drenched in sweat, the dragon that had been putting immense pressure on him spoke up: "Follow me."

As the figure moved away, the discomfort disappeared.

The black-haired vampire instantly felt relieved and quickly followed after them.

Norton was, of course, impersonated by Leon, and he hadn't expected the effect to be so good.

The Golden Eyes actually produced a chemical reaction with the Divine Art: Great Sun Spirit God, greatly amplifying his oppressive aura.

In other words, Caius's vampire clan no longer has the weakness of sunlight; otherwise, an ordinary vampire would probably have been reduced to ashes under his gaze long ago.

Of course, the [Golden Eyes] and [Divine Art: Great Sun Spirit God] alone are obviously not enough to put such pressure on Caius, but don't forget that as the number of professions increases, Li Ang has accumulated an extremely exaggerated number of special bonuses, many of which can deter specific creatures.

In addition to the combination of [Dual Hands] + [Qi Flow Management] + [The Principles of the Circulation], and his extremely absurd stats relative to the fifth level, the black-haired vampire actually regarded him as a sixth-level professional for a time.

Soon, Caius was taken by Leon to a laboratory filled with various instruments.

However, upon seeing the corpses submerged in the solution around him, the executive of Secret Blood Company did not show any fear on his face.

To him, corpses were no different from bread, just as a morgue was like a cafeteria.

Just then, Li Ang spoke up: "Lie down."

As he spoke, he pointed to the workbench in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Caius immediately came to his senses and obediently lay down.

Before proceeding with the final steps, Li Ang casually asked, "You should know what's going to happen next, right?"

"...will die."

Faced with the question, Caius managed to utter two words with some difficulty.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help feeling apprehensive and wanted to temporarily withdraw from the reform project that he himself had proposed.

Fortunately, Li Ang did not give the black-haired vampire a chance to back out.

As his right eye emitted a blue-gold light, a blazing sphere about the size of a palm appeared above Caius's body.

【Divine Art - Great Sun Spirit God】. Extremely low output version.

Unfortunately, in order to preserve the integrity of Caius's corpse, Leon could only unleash this divine spell to the minimum.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use other methods to kill the other party, but rather that this was already the easiest way.

After all, even if Caius, a fifth-level professional, gave up resisting, it would be extremely difficult to kill him completely.

Fortunately, Li Ang cannot be viewed as a typical fifth-level being, otherwise he would have been exposed by now.

Under the suppression of [Divine Art: Great Sun Spirit God], Caius's subconscious struggle was extinguished almost without making a ripple.

Looking at the black-haired vampire with bloodshot eyes and a body that was beginning to mutate, Li Ang's expression remained unchanged.

If he wanted, he could send the other person into eternal sleep right now.

But doing so is pointless. After all, once he took a piece of the flesh from Blood Secrets, it was already difficult for him and that Lord to reconcile, not to mention the matter of Christine.

Adding another Caius is no big deal; it's like having too many lice and not feeling the itch anymore.

hum-

As a faint buzzing sound echoed in the laboratory, the blazing sphere radiating blue-gold light vanished into the void, leaving only a hideous corpse in its place.

Seeing that Caius had fallen silent, Li Ang immediately used [Spirit Binding] to control his dissipating soul.

Unlike the previous two creations of the [Pseudo-Servant], Caius's soul maintains a clear will under the enhanced [Spirit Binding].

He glanced at his own corpse first, then turned to look at the being that now controlled his soul: "Your Majesty."

"Shut up."

"Yes."

Caius obediently shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.

Li Ang casually tossed him into the [Heavenly Palace] and began to modify the corpse in front of him.

Now, with the [Great Luo Cave Observation], he sees more than when he modified [Christine].

"This is..." Looking at the scarlet characters floating in the air, Li Ang frowned slightly, "A blood pact?"

This was the first time he had ever seen how the blood pact actually worked, and some of the concepts were even laid bare before him.

"Assimilation, no wonder Caius was so eager to break the blood pact."

Li Ang now understands why Caius agreed to the modification even though he knew the prerequisite was death, because the consequences of the blood pact were far more terrifying than death.

Indeed, as the strength of those who have signed the blood pact grows closer to that of the Lord, their will will gradually gravitate towards him, until they eventually lose their own will and merge with that Lord.

Because Caius's clan had their bloodline modified by the Lord, everyone was forced to sign a blood pact the moment they became vampires, with no room for refusal.

But if that's all there is to it, it only means that this was a method used by that lord to establish his power, and it shouldn't be a matter of life and death.

unless
"Is it related to His job change requirements?"

Undoubtedly, cutting off someone's path to advancement in the extraordinary world is an extremely heinous act, which explains why that venerable master was so sensitive.

After clarifying the cause and effect, Li Ang took a breath to calm himself down, and then prepared to continue modifying Caius.

Before he could make any move, he noticed a thin red line connecting the corpse in front of him to the void.

".?"

With the blessing of the Great Luo Cave Observation, Li Ang quickly realized the purpose of the red thread.

Because of the close connection between Caius and that lord, it seemed he could use this connection to gain insight into the other party.

"So this is Kotani's wish?"

As Li Ang gently flicked the red thread, his gaze rose higher and higher, and then a scene appeared before his eyes.

The image shows two men.

Wait, why are there two?
Realizing that something was wrong, Li Ang frowned instantly.
