Did the villainous professor survive today?

Krenk stretched out his hand and condensed a faint aura of energy in his palm, with wisps of electric sparks emanating from around it.

This is an electric magic ball.

Immediately afterward, with a single thought, the pure electric arc sphere before him transformed into a bizarre flower of blood.

His right hand was in a grasping position, and the next moment, a long sword gleaming with blood appeared in his palm.

Krenk extended his longsword towards the Blood Flower, and then the Blood Flower was gradually absorbed into the Blood Fiend Longsword in front of him.

【Magic Power: 2351/5200】

As the magic power gradually decreased, Krenk could see that Alice's blood pool was gradually increasing.

"As expected, after the purity of the magic is increased, other spells can be quickly switched to blood magic, and then converted with the blood in the blood pool."

Learning combos is quite important.

This means that even if Alice is anemic, Krenk can use his magic to convert it into blood, and then heal himself through [Flesh and Blood Healing].

In the face of a rapidly changing battle situation, repair efficiency is of paramount importance.

After all, if the magic purity is not high enough, it may cause a "burst" during magic conversion.

"By the way, are there any items or features in the game similar to 'physical-to-magical conversion'?"

Krenk recalled his thoughts.

After all, he still possesses the ability to increase mana consumption and enhance spell power through skillful manipulation.

Furthermore, he can now convert between health and mana. He is thinking about whether he will have the opportunity to step on his own foot in the future, causing the spell damage to overflow completely.

After saying that, Krenk began to seriously study Alice's skills and characteristics.

He stood in front of a floor-length mirror that was as tall as a person.

[Blade & Soul: Alice's soul and the weapon itself are independent of each other. The weapon itself is always visible, but the soul can enter a hidden state and remain undetected by others.]

In the mirror, Krenk could be seen holding a blood-red longsword. The sword exuded a strong aura of blood, adding a touch of evil to his bewitching and affectionate eyes.

"Yes, this sword can be seen at any time."

As he spoke, Krenk sheathed his longsword and summoned the elf Alice.

Unlike before, this time only Krenk's figure was visible in the mirror, and the little girl who was about half his height could not be seen beside him.

"Why does it feel a little scary for some reason?"

Kroenke commented that this little girl, who could only be seen by herself, gave off a ghost movie vibe.

Krenk activated his clairvoyance, but still couldn't see Alice through the mirror.

You can only look directly at her with your naked eye.

It was as if she didn't exist in this world at all before she took the initiative to interact.

Krenk shifted his gaze back to the mirror and directed Alice to activate her blood manipulation skills.

As a flower of blood bloomed in Alice's palm, her figure appeared in the mirror.

"So, as long as there's no interaction with the outside world, one can remain hidden indefinitely?"

Kroenke nodded.

"This seems even more terrifying to the enemy."

Krenk knew that besides manipulating blood, Alice also had a skill that could unleash burst blood.

Imagine you're in the enemy's shoes, and halfway through a fierce battle, an enemy unit suddenly appears out of nowhere next to you and instantly explodes.

It's so unsettling to think about it.

Kroenke then turned his attention to Alice's other skills.

[Blood Veil Conceals Form: Alice completely erases her body from this world. During this time, she can observe the world from an observer's perspective. During this time, contractors can observe in her place.]

"Give it a try with functional skills."

Krenk rubbed his chin.

The next moment, Alice's figure disappeared from Krenk's sight as if erased by an eraser.

At the same time, Krenk felt a strange sensation coming from inside his brain, as if an invisible switch had appeared, allowing him to switch his perspective at any time.

Kroenke switched perspectives without hesitation.

The next moment, Kroenke felt as if his soul had ascended.

He could see his body standing still, eyes closed, as if petrified and unable to move.

I can't move my body, it feels so strange...

Kroenke thought to himself.

It felt as if my soul had left my body.

His gaze gradually drifted into the distance, during which time Krenk could feel a force constantly pulling him back, centered on his own body.

Once the view reaches the fountain in the backyard, it can no longer extend beyond that point.

It's a God's-eye view with a radius of about fifty or sixty meters.

Kroenke made his judgment.

This distance is enough for him.

In a few days, it will be my chief professor's banquet.

On this day, the Russell family, who assassinated him, will also be present.

The conflicts between the old and new noble families were complex and involved many people. Even the Russell family would not openly communicate with certain powerful figures.

Such a banquet, where everyone gathers together, is a very rare opportunity.

Even when it's someone else's home turf, it's still a good opportunity for private conversations.

Therefore, Kroenke can use this skill to secretly observe who the other party contacted and what kind of communication they had at the banquet, and thus gain leverage over the other party.

Kroenke then turned his attention back to reality.

The feeling of being out of his body was so strange that Krenk found himself involuntarily exploring other things in the mansion.

He saw his father, Richard, in his study looking at documents and reports, which were filled with dense financial data.

Juliana, the mother, sat by the second-floor window, while her personal maid served her a late-night snack.

As for Sofia, she was lying on the bed reading a novel.

She placed a pillow under her chest and dangled her feet in mid-air.

Sofia has a hobby of reading novels?

In the original owner's memories, Sophia usually preferred to go to the Iros Grand Theatre to watch operas and rarely read novels.

He curiously leaned over and glanced at the contents of the book.

next second.

Kroenke abruptly switched the perspective back.

He blinked to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

That was a pornographic book.

Krenk retrieved Alice and then left the bedroom.

He went straight to Sofia's bedroom and knocked on the door.

"Who?!" Sophia's questioning tone was tinged with a hint of panic.

"It's me!"

After Krenk finished speaking, he activated the Blood Veil again.

Through Alice's perspective, Krenk saw Sophia quickly hide the novel under her pillow, then say towards the door:

"Come in."

Krenk finished his observations, pushed open the door, and went inside.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Sophia sat on the bed, tilting her head, looking at Krenk with an innocent and carefree expression.

Kroenke rolled his eyes at Sophia, then focused his gaze on the novel she had hidden under her pillow:

"What are you looking at? Why are you being so secretive?"

"Brother, what did you say?"

Sofia pretended to be stupid.

Krenk pushed Sophia aside, then went to the bedside, preparing to take out the novel hidden under the pillow.

The next second, Sofia reached out and gripped Krenk's wrist tightly, her eyes darting around as she tried to argue:

"Brother, it's just a simple romance novel, nothing more."

Kroenke instantly adopted a dead fish-like expression:

"to be honest."

"Brother, I love you, I love you so much."

Sofia started to whine, but still clung to Krenk's wrist like an eagle.

Kroenke continued to keep an eye on things.

"Brother, I really want to marry you. You are my favorite brother."

"Do me a favor, or I'll tell Mom." Krenk pushed away Sophia, who was hugging him, and crossed his arms. "Sophia, you don't want Mom to know you're reading this kind of book, do you?"

"What kind of busy work?" Sophia was completely under her brother's control and had no choice but to comply.

"I want to conduct grueling sword training for the next few days, so please put aside your entertainment for the next two days and train with me." After his trip to the Sea of ​​Dreams, Krenk planned to take a break for the rest of the time and focus solely on practicing swordsmanship.

Based on his understanding, Sophia wasn't the type of person who could take things very seriously, so he needed to put some external pressure on her to improve the training effect.

"Devil training? Bro, are you serious?" Sophia's ahoge (cowlick) suddenly twitched.

"Seriously." Krenk nodded.

"Then, brother, prepare to be tortured by me." Sophia grinned wickedly. "I'll show you what devilish training is like, hehe!"

"Hehe," Krenk chuckled, ruffling Sophia's hair.

"Go to bed early tonight, and I'll wake you up first thing tomorrow morning to practice."
