Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 251 This is for your own good

Landenheim.

Inside the half-ruined hall of the Toddbringer family's castle, everyone stared nervously at the blonde girl in the center, who was squinting as she enjoyed a sweet pastry. She was undeniably as elegant as a princess, yet everyone else's eyes held only fear.

Just moments ago, she effortlessly conjured a Blood Moon Arrow, killing several vampires who attempted to resist. Among them was even Berlant Dracula, the eldest son of the Dracula family!

At this very moment, even more Blood Moon Arrows hovered above the hall, like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, constantly threatening their lives. They had no doubt that Lilith's threat was merely a bluff; any movement they made would result in instant death!

Lilith walked up to a red-haired vampire and said gracefully:

"Miss Alyssa, could you please bring my sister with you?"

"it is good."

Alyssa Toddbringer nodded silently, then turned her gaze to the blue-haired girl beside her and gave the order:

"Alina, go and bring that young lady here."

Alyssa knew very well that as a member of the Todd Blinger family, they wouldn't let her leave so easily. While Lilith's question sounded polite, Alyssa wasn't foolish enough to take it as a request, nor did she intend to use this opportunity to leave.

"Yes, Miss Alyssa."

The human maid with long, sky-blue hair responded somewhat nervously and quickly left the hall.

Lilith seemed to have read Alyssa's mind and said with a smile:

"Don't be so nervous, actually I quite like you."

Alyssa gave a wry smile:

Should I say I'm honored?

Seeing them flirting with each other, Olmer finally couldn't contain himself and asked:

"Miss Lilith, what exactly is your purpose?"

Lilith turned and glanced at him, then said frankly:

You shouldn't ask me this question, because I don't know the answer either.

This answer stunned everyone in the hall. If you don't know, who else would? Aren't you the mastermind behind all this?

Unlike the others who were completely bewildered, Olmer suddenly understood after hearing this.

Yes, how would she know?

Although she is a demigod and could easily kill everyone in the hall, Landenheim has eleven demigods and one true god! If she were only a mere demigod, how much trouble could she possibly cause?

This attack was clearly not aimed at ordinary vampires like them, who weren't even demigods. After all, for the patriarchs of the twelve families, whether they were the eldest or second son was meaningless; it was they who wanted to inherit the blood essence of the patriarchs, not the patriarchs begging them to inherit!

An attack on Landenheim could only be aimed at the patriarchs of the twelve families, at the demigods and even that god, the ruler of Landenheim, their father, Luzius Toddbringer!

There must be other planners behind all of this.

And so far, Luzius has not shown up to stop Lilith, and even the patriarchs of the other eleven families are nowhere to be found. Does this mean that they have all met with misfortune?

Olmer found the more he thought about it, the more horrified he became, and cold sweat kept seeping from his forehead.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the hall, attracting everyone's attention.

In the corridor outside the hall, two figures, one tall and one short, were walking towards the hall; they were Alina and Olnia.

The maid with long, sky-blue hair stared fearfully at the two silver knights at the hall entrance, worried that she would be killed by their swords. Meanwhile, Olya seemed completely oblivious to what was happening, a look of confusion on her young face.

They passed safely through the gate guarded by two silver knights and entered the hall.

But just then, an unexpected change occurred!

Outside the window, crimson light blazed as another scarlet moon rose!

"Two red moons?"

Olmer's expression changed slightly; this matter was completely beyond his comprehension.

Even Lilith couldn't help but look out the window, because she, too, had never seen two red moons hanging high in the sky at the same time.

Just then, taking advantage of everyone's attention being drawn, a vampire suddenly appeared in front of Olnia!

It was Lucius's eldest son, Casse Toddbringer! He wanted to kidnap Olnia to threaten Lilith!

In the blink of an eye, Kase appeared behind Olnia, even crouching down in advance, attempting to use her body as a shield while kidnapping her, so that Lilith would hesitate to attack him rashly.

However, despite taking everything into consideration, when he flashed behind Olnia, before he could even begin to act, Olnia suddenly disappeared from his sight.

Kase's pupils contracted sharply, but before he could figure out what was happening, a Blood Moon Arrow pierced through his body.

Snapped!

Just then, Casse's body suddenly became ethereal, tinged with a pale red, and transformed into a hazy moonlight.

The moonlight shattered instantly, turning into patches of red scales that vanished on the spot.

Moonlight!

This is an extraordinary ability that only the "Crimson Scholar" of the "Moon" pathway sequence 5 possesses. Although things were unexpected for Casse, his survival instinct still allowed him to use his extraordinary ability to transform into moonlight to dodge this fatal blow.

Casse's body rapidly reformed in the distance, and he now appeared outside the hall, bathed in moonlight.

He no longer attempted to kidnap Olnia. The fact that Olnia also possessed the ability to teleport meant that she had the same strength as him. Kase was not arrogant enough to kidnap a vampire of equal strength.

So when the plan failed, running away became his only option.

Casse's figure kept flashing in the moonlight, each time appearing in a more distant place.

In just one flash, he had already left the inner city and arrived in the outer city area.

Under the illumination of two crimson moons, his abilities were greatly amplified!

Suddenly, at the edge of Kase's vision, a dazzling silver light appeared. Bathed in the crimson moonlight, that silver light resembled a ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, poised to devour its prey!

Kase's expression changed slightly, and he instinctively dodged, his figure disappearing once again.

This time, he had already reached the outer city wall.

If he can use Blink again, he can leave Todd Blinger.

But just then, Casse heard a whistling sound in his ear.

He didn't even have time to turn around to see what it was, nor did he have time to flash before he felt a sharp pain in his body.

boom!

With a deafening roar, Kase's body was pinned to the wall by the Dragon Slayer Arrow.

His heart, along with his entire body, was pierced through, turning into a pulpy mess that dripped down his legs with a splattering sound. His head flew high into the air, his face still bearing the joy of impending escape.

Even though Casse is a vampire with powerful vitality and regenerative abilities.

But the moment his heart was pierced, death became his inevitable end.

Lilith looked in the direction Kasse had left, her eyes filled with deep confusion, and muttered to herself:

"Where did he get the confidence to escape from a demigod?"

"I'd like to know too..."

Olmer thought to himself.

The difference between demigods and vampires below the demigod level is like heaven and earth; even if all the vampires in the hall were combined, they wouldn't be a match for Lilith. Of course, if they were all fearless and chose to scatter and flee, perhaps a small portion would have a chance to escape capture, but that would only be a very small fraction.

Furthermore, this group is limited to the heirs of the twelve families, because only they possess the extraordinary ability to teleport and have a certain chance of escaping from Lilith's clutches.

But this is only in theory.

Most vampires do not possess the extraordinary ability to appear in moonlight, nor would they willingly sacrifice themselves for the survival of others.

Casse's actions were undoubtedly foolish, and his fate is the best proof of that.

Neither Olmer nor Alyssa intended to resist, as this might offer them a chance to survive.

While everyone was still stunned, another strange thing happened outside the window.

One of the Crimson Moons suddenly absorbed the light of another Crimson Moon, and the light it emitted turned into a dazzling scarlet.

But not long after, a dazzling golden light pierced through the crimson moon.

Then came the second, the third, countless gleaming golden spears piercing the crimson moon one after another, until the crimson moon, radiating a blinding scarlet light, was dyed gold, until night turned into day—

The whole world was bathed in a dazzling golden light, as if it were daytime.

But all of this didn't last long, because the 'sun' exploded the next second.

It transformed into countless golden specks of light that scattered across the world.

In the sky, only a crimson moon remained, hanging high above the horizon.

Even now, the vampires of Landenheim still don't understand what's going on.

Why did a crimson moon suddenly appear in the sky? And why did that extra crimson moon suddenly explode? All of this turned into a big question mark, deeply imprinted in their minds.

They thought they were the chosen ones, possessing the most noble bloodline in the world.

But today, one unexpected event after another has shattered their pride, leaving them only bewilderment.

Olmer looked at Lilith, trying to get an answer from her.

But soon, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a faint, ethereal blue light emerge from the hall. That faint blue light seemed to construct a gate connecting two worlds, standing there quietly.

Until a figure passed through the gate, returning to reality from another world.

Olmer almost instinctively observed the other person's appearance, and his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, because he recognized the man as Lilith's missing blood servant!

"What exactly is going on?"

Cold sweat beaded on Olmer's forehead again. Even a fool could see that this man was far more than just Lilith's blood prey. After all, blood prey didn't possess the extraordinary ability of 'teleportation,' a power that even vampires hadn't mastered.

In Olmer's memory, only the Phoenix Clan of the Southern Continent possessed similar abilities.

This ability is even more useful than the vampire's "teleport," because the vampire's teleport can only be used within the range of the Crimson Moon's illumination, while the Phoenix Clan's "teleport" can be used anytime, anywhere.

Even so, this man doesn't look like a phoenix at all!

Lilith walked to Ember's side and asked softly:

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

"Resolved."

Ember replied calmly, then stretched out his palm, holding a crimson moon that emitted a dazzling light.

"This is……"

Lilith was almost instinctively drawn to the crimson moon, staring at it intently, muttering to herself:

"Is this the extraordinary characteristic of Sequence 2? How beautiful..."

She had only ever seen the extraordinary properties of Sequence 4, a fist-sized gem that seemed to be formed from thick blood, radiating a crimson light like a miniature red moon.

This is also a characteristic of the extraordinary properties of the 'Moon' pathway. Each sequence of extraordinary properties has a blood-red appearance, and the higher the sequence, the closer the specific manifestation of its extraordinary property is to the Crimson Moon.

Ember denied Lilith's speculation:

"This is the uniqueness of the 'Moon' pathway."

"Uniqueness?"

Lilith blinked. She had only learned about the distinction between sequences and pathways from the embers, and she had never even heard of uniqueness.

Ember's voice remained calm as he softly said:

"To become a Sequence 0, one must possess three copies of the Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of this pathway, so there is one and only one true God of Sequence 0 in any pathway."

Lilith frowned slightly, and asked with some confusion:

"Is Luzius already Sequence 1?"

Ember gently shook his head:

"He's only a Sequence 2, but he's very lucky; he somehow obtained this uniqueness. Of course, you could also say he's very unlucky, since he's only a Sequence 2."

"So instead of embracing this uniqueness, he was controlled by it, which had been activated by the corruption of the Fallen Mother, and became a puppet of the Fallen Mother's incarnation. Of course, the corruption in the uniqueness has been removed, just like the extraordinary characteristics you used before. So you don't need to worry about being affected by the remaining corruption of the Fallen Mother."

Lilith hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"You mean, this is for me?"

"Otherwise what?"

Yu Jin raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

Lilith muttered to herself:

"But you just said there's only one unique copy..."

"There is one and only one copy for each method."

Ember corrected the mistake in her words, and shook his head, saying:

"Besides, I don't need these things."

Lilith pursed her lips, remaining noncommittal.

After all, since Ember was able to easily solve the problem of uniqueness in activation, he must be at least Sequence 0, or even above Sequence 0!

"You don't want it?"
