There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

By daybreak, the battle in the entire town was completely over. Lu Qing deliberately left behind a few magicians and soldiers from the Guiji Sect, intending to hand them over to the Pope for interrogation.

Actually, the best target for interrogation should have been that bald man, but unfortunately, due to that rather peculiar sense of desire at the time, she didn't have time to think it through and shot him in the head.

Just as Lu Qing was feeling a little regretful, suddenly, a line of text appeared in her mind's diary.

[Black Rose Vampire LV1-LV2]

[Your Black Rose Vampire form has gained a new skill!]

[Blood Magic - Blood Control (Blue): A type of magic that allows free control over blood. If spiritual power (magic power) (blood energy) is infused into the blood, it can also gain attributes such as resilience, cutting ability, and fluidity.]

[Dark Magic - Dark Bullet (Blue): Fires a high-concentration dark element magic bullet, dealing dark element damage to enemies!]

Your attributes have been increased!

Strength +1, Agility +2, Constitution +2, Spirit +1

"Hmm... two new skills, attributes increased, spirit increased by one point, wait, wait a minute!?"

Lu Qing belatedly came to her senses and quickly opened her character attributes.

Strength 44, Agility 47, Constitution 48

Spirit...51!

emmmmm.

Another day without updates.

I feel very anxious and uncomfortable.

But if you can't bring yourself to say it, then you really can't.

I have a bit of a headache.

I was planning to force myself to update at 4 or 5 pm as usual, but my eyes were very sore, and rubbing them made it even worse, so I couldn't help but cry.

Sorry, I really can't write today.

I'm going to bed early to get some rest so I can update twice tomorrow.

Yes, I'll also be posting twice a day the day after tomorrow. If possible, I'd like to be able to consistently post twice a day.

But this is my current thought; I have no idea what I'll think later.

I really feel like a useless person. I've thought about many things I want to do since I was a child, but I haven't been able to accomplish any of them.

I used to be able to say that I at least persisted in writing, but after I started writing my third book, I became more and more unproductive.

The feeling of giving up makes me anxious, and I can't help but procrastinate. Sometimes I finish writing my novel at three or four in the morning and go to sleep, and other times I give up at two or three in the morning and choose to write it tomorrow, which makes me go to bed later and later every day.

This is a vicious cycle, I guess. Sometimes I want to see a psychologist, but I don't have the money to afford it.

I've read a lot of inspirational quotes, and sometimes I get motivated by what some people say, but it's all just a passing fad.

I'm not going to talk anymore, my eyes hurt, I'm going to rest now.

I will definitely update twice tomorrow. I can't guarantee I'll keep updating twice, but at least tomorrow and the day after, I will definitely update twice.

Chapter 494: Three Steel Balls Ring Simultaneously

"Haa!"

Fang Qingrou gave a soft shout, brandished her greatsword, and turned around to send the Guiji cultist who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead and was now trying to ambush her flying.

Don't misunderstand, the reason they were sent flying instead of being cut in half is not because Fang Qingrou showed mercy, but simply because these Guiji cultists were wearing protective gear.

However, after being hit by her sword, even if he was wearing protective gear, he should have been lying on the ground.

"Ha, ha, ha, hoo."

Fang Qingrou stood wearily on the snow, trying to adjust her condition.

The battle had lasted for twenty minutes, and the prolonged wielding of the greatsword was making her feel somewhat tired.

Apart from the woman who led them, these Guiji cultists were not particularly strong; they were just incredibly resilient.

This must be the so-called power of the void. She glanced at the Guiji Cultist lying on the ground, his face pockmarked as if something had gnawed at it.

"You're the only one left," Fang Qingrou said, looking at the woman in front of her.

"What are you trying to say?" Number Six raised an eyebrow, twirling the scythe in his hand lightly. "Do you think you can see any hope of victory just by defeating some small fry?"

"Your strength is indeed surprising. If Number Three hadn't sent me here, you might have actually survived."

"Be careful, don't die so easily..."

The woman's voice gradually faded away, and along with it, her body also disappeared.

"Her into invisibility?" Fang Qingrou quickly drew her crossbow and fired an arrow at the spot where the woman had disappeared, but missed everything.

"..." As she reloaded the crossbow, she frowned as she looked at the footprints left in the snow.

There were no footprints on the ground, so where did the other person disappear to?

Even if you are invisible, you should still leave a trace after moving.

Thinking this, Fang Qingrou suddenly felt the airflow being cleaved by a sharp blade.

"brush!"

A sharp scythe slashed down beside her ear. While dodging the attack, Fang Qingrou channeled wind elemental power into the crossbow bolt.

"Boom!"

Arrows imbued with the power of wind element flew from the crossbow at considerable speed, yet even so, Number Six reacted the instant the arrows were fired, turning his head to dodge the attack.

"boom!"

Fang Qingrou kicked Number Six in the chest, causing him to stagger back two steps. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she raised her greatsword and swung it down at his head.

The greatsword slashed into the snow, and Number Six, who had been standing there, vanished without a trace.

"Is it not invisibility, but an ability similar to teleportation?" Fang Qingrou drew her greatsword and looked around warily.

The traces left on the ground are still there, but no new traces are produced after the other party disappears, which indicates that the other party's ability is not invisibility.

But calling it instant teleportation isn't quite right; it feels more like blurring!

She can transform her body into a substance similar to air, which is neither visible nor touchable, but in return, the other party cannot attack her under these conditions.

"If you have this ability, why didn't you use it from the beginning?" Fang Qingrou couldn't help but think.

When she fought those Guiji cultists before, she didn't see that woman use this move. Could it be that there were some conditions?

Before she could think, the vanished Number Six suddenly appeared above Fang Qingrou's head, slashing at her neck with his scythe from both sides.

It was too late to dodge to the left or right, and if he wanted to parry, it would be impossible to block from two directions at the same time with just his greatsword.

Thinking this, Fang Qingrou decisively squatted down and rolled forward.

Number Six, who had just missed his shot and landed, was hit in the eye by a cold snowball and lost his sight.

"Chance!"

Fang Qingrou's eyes lit up, and she swept her greatsword from left to right, attempting to cut Number Six's body in two with one strike!

However, the familiar scene unfolded again: her sword struck thin air, and Number Six vanished into thin air once more.

"This move is disgusting." Fang Qingrou frowned, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

She quickly retreated, pressing her body tightly against the thick rock wall.

With such a thick rock wall in place, she no longer needed to worry about Number Six appearing from behind her, and the pressure was immediately reduced by more than half.

"boom!"

The dark red scythe struck the thick rock wall, leaving a deep gash in the rock. Fang Qingrou launched a counterattack, but unexpectedly, the opponent released his grip on the scythe and retreated.

"Ok?"

Fang Qingrou was slightly taken aback by the other party's actions, but she immediately realized that the other party's ability was indeed not unlimited. The fact that she did not disappear directly but instead released her weapon to dodge was proof of this!

Realizing this, Fang Qingrou immediately stepped forward and swung her greatsword across the room!

"Hmph... still lacking in experience." Number Six's lips curled slightly, and his body disappeared into thin air once again.

Sometimes, what you see on the surface isn't the truth. Her abilities are indeed limited, but that doesn't mean she can't use them right now.

That was just an illusion, and loosening control of a weapon that was extremely important to oneself was merely a means to increase the enemy's belief in one's acting skills.
