Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

As the name suggests, the Eternal Life Society's goal is to pursue eternal life.

Who doesn’t want eternal life?

Master Guderian's initial idea was very simple, which was to package himself as an unfathomable master of mysticism, and then find a few rich people to fool and make a fortune.

In fact, he knows nothing about mysticism, is not very old, and the beard on his face is fake.

But I never expected...

This "business" which was initially intended to just make some money and then run away, is actually developing more and more smoothly!

Although the number of believers is not large, there are several truly extraordinary people among them!

And they are all quite strong!

"Master Guderian, your idea is truly admirable."

Under the eager gaze of the crowd, a member exclaimed:

"If you want to gain immortality, the most direct way is to find a vampire and receive the 'First Embrace' from her.

"But the problem is, ever since Lilith, the progenitor of the vampire race, fell into a long sleep, the vampire race has been declining. The few remaining vampire survivors have all adopted seclusion as their highest code of conduct, making them hard to find... Finding them is nearly impossible!"

At this moment, another enthusiastic member took over the conversation:

"But your thinking is extraordinary! You told us, 'Finding vampires is indeed not easy, but at the same time it is surprisingly simple... Climbing to the top of the mountain is difficult, but bringing the top of the mountain closer to me is easy.'

"Thanks to your advice, we realized... That's right! There's no need to look for an existing vampire. We can summon one ourselves!"

Ah, this...

I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just said a few seemingly profound words to show off...

The corners of Master Guderian's mouth twitched slightly.

In the "Eternal Life Society", in addition to Master Guderian himself, there are many talented people, including an expert in black magic.

According to this person's judgment, the vitality of the vampires is very strong. Even if only a little finger is left, as long as enough life energy is injected into it through a magic ritual, it can be reborn!

Strictly speaking, it is more accurate to say that it is "resurrecting vampires" rather than "summoning vampires".

But these details are not important.

"Master Guderian, we have prepared the living sacrifice to provide life energy."

As he spoke, the black magic expert clapped his hands and ordered three poor men with sacks on their heads and shivering to be brought in.

……Hello!

You guys are so proactive!

Master Guderian roared in his heart.

And judging by the way these three guys are dressed, they must be homeless people who wouldn't be bothered if they disappeared. That's quite thoughtful!

"Master Guderian, please lead us through tonight's ritual!" The dark magic expert held up a dagger in both hands, his eyes gleaming. "As long as we slit the victim's throat with this knife and inject their blood into the magic circle I've prepared, we'll successfully summon the vampires!"

"Ahem, this..."

Master Guderian hesitated.

As an ordinary con man, "human sacrifice" was too exciting for him.

"As expected of you, Master Guderian, you are exceptionally cautious."

Clearly, members have misunderstood again:

"You're worried about what to do if we can't control the summoned vampire girl, right?"

"Look! This is the Holy Light Church's spell and holy water, as well as a silver sword and magic scroll imbued with extraordinary power! Ordinary vampires can't deal with these things at all!"

"Even if she is unwilling, she has no choice but to submit and embrace us as vampires!"

Ah, this...

Can you guys be more reliable?!

Master Guderian was completely paralyzed.

At this point, he couldn't find any reason to object... If I admitted that I was just a liar and didn't have the courage to summon the vampires, these fanatical guys would definitely not let me go...

Since there is no way out, think about the positive side.

If everything goes well, won't I really be able to become an immortal vampire?

Maybe, all this is God's will.

As the leader of the "Eternal Life Society," I actually didn't do anything serious. The members themselves proposed plans, organized and implemented them, and then presented the results to me...

I just won without any effort!

Is there anyone in the world who is luckier than me?

Yes, this is a gift from God!

If I retreat at this moment, wouldn’t that be tantamount to going against God’s will?

"Then let the ceremony begin."

After strengthening his conviction, he took the dagger, stood up and walked towards the three shivering living sacrifices.

However, at this moment, Master Guderian and those fanatical believers did not know... the owner of the slender finger they found was not an ordinary vampire.

It belonged to a princess of the former vampire kingdom.

The youngest daughter of True Ancestor Lilith, and the undisputed superior in vampire society.

She is definitely not someone that this mob can target.

……

at the same time.

"Is this the 'haunted house'..."

Lor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the abandoned manor not far away.

Under the pale moonlight, the building looked somewhat eerie. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, the walls were covered with ivy, and the broken windows looked like deep eyes.

Lor pinched the thin rope around his neck and lifted up the silver cross that was originally hidden in his collar.

This is an extraordinary item that is standard equipment for exorcists and will react to evil creatures within a certain range.

At this moment, the cross did not shake, which means that there were no evil spirits, skeletons, or zombies in the manor.

but……

This incident definitely involves real supernatural powers, and it provides an opportunity for Lore to improve his performance and avoid unemployment.

After all, the FLAG has been set.

"Then let's go find out."

3. Broken Cross

Before taking action, Lor reviewed the extraordinary abilities he currently possessed.

He possesses all the memories of the original owner, and after traveling through time, he has personally conducted several experiments, so he is very familiar with these abilities.

The extraordinary power possessed by the church is mainly "Holy Light Magic".

According to the effect, it can be divided into three major systems: attack, defense and treatment.

A qualified exorcist should have a basic grasp of all three areas while specializing in one of them.

And Lore's specialty is "protection", and he is good at applying various enhancement BUFFs to himself and his teammates.

This is quite to his liking.

Before crossing over, whenever he played a new game, he would prioritize health and defense, increasing his tolerance first. Once he was familiar with the game mechanics, he would consider output efficiency.

"Move silently, harden the skin, heal quickly..." While driving his spiritual power, Lor quickly made a series of complex gestures in front of his chest.

After all, this was his first real case involving supernatural powers, so he couldn't be too cautious.

After giving himself the BUFF, he did not rush into the manor, but walked around outside first.

He found that the main gate of the manor was locked tightly with an iron chain, and the chain and the iron gate were rusted together, obviously it had not been opened for a long time.

However, there was a gap in the side wall, and the weeds around the gap showed obvious signs of being trampled and fallen.

"Someone has been frequently coming in and out of this deserted house recently, and there is more than one person..." Lor judged.

In addition, in the shadows inside the courtyard, near the entrance of the house, a motionless guy can be vaguely seen leaning against the wall.

Like he was on guard duty.

Lor observed patiently for a while and found that this man would rub his fingers gently from time to time, creating a series of weak electric sparks... This seemed to be his habit when he was bored.

Having said that, ordinary people can't create sparks by rubbing their fingers.

In other words, this guy is an extraordinary person.

Lor frowned slightly.

A decent person wouldn't show up in a place like this so late at night...

"Could it be that some illegal supernatural people are holding a rally in this abandoned house?" he guessed in his heart.

In this world, all major forces have strict control over supernatural powers.

The so-called "illegal supernatural persons" are those who obtain supernatural abilities through abnormal channels and are unwilling to join formal organizations such as the Holy Light Church.

These guys seek power but don't want to be controlled. They are mostly crazy and dangerous.

Some illegal supernatural beings often organize secret gatherings to exchange resources, knowledge, and various dangerous items with each other... It is very likely that something similar is going on in this abandoned manor.

"It seems I've come to the right place... The gatherings of illegal supernatural organizations must be banned. As long as I report the situation here to the church, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement!"

Having said that, Lohr can't be completely sure yet.

To be on the safe side, we should at least sneak in and observe the situation to make sure that there is more than one illegal superhuman inside, and remember the appearance characteristics of some of them.

So he climbed over the wall quietly, carefully avoiding the sight of the sentry, passed through the overgrown courtyard, and sneaked into the house through a broken window.

Move slowly along the corridor.

In the direction of the end, you can vaguely see the light of fire and hear some vague voices.

That should be the location of the manor hall.

Because they were quite a distance away, Lor couldn't hear what those people were saying. He could only tell from their tone that they were quite excited, and there was an unusual enthusiasm in their cheers.

what's the situation?

Lor hesitated for a moment, but decided to move closer.

However, at this moment...

The silver cross hanging around Lor's neck, used to detect evil creatures, suddenly floated up and began to vibrate violently.

He was shocked and surprised at the same time.

Wasn't there any movement just now? Why is there a sudden reaction now?

Moreover, it is so strong!

At this moment, the silver cross floating in front of the chest seemed to be attracted by some force, almost breaking free from the rope and flying forward!

Lor stumbled and felt a pain in the back of his neck.

Then, accompanied by a crisp "pop" sound, the cross actually broke into two halves!

According to the original owner's memory, the stronger the cross's reaction, the more powerful the evil creature nearby was... and now, the cross was actually broken?

What kind of terrifying thing is ahead?

...No matter what, it's impossible for a grassroots exorcist like me to deal with it alone.

Lore quickly recognized this reality.

In this case, I can't risk getting any closer. I must retreat quickly and report the situation here to Captain Roninna, so that a higher-ranked and more skilled boss can handle this incident!

But the problem is...

Is it too late to escape now?
