I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

Without any lingering feelings, Istina soon left the place where she once lived and began to look for a way to leave. After several attempts, she successfully saw her own back in the center of the entire space.

But for some reason, her back was covered with a gorgeous dress that she herself had never seen before. The dress was a crimson color with lightning-like patterns outlined by gold and silver threads. There were exquisite lace on the cuffs and hem, and the hem was dotted with blood-red rubies, which were reflecting dazzling brilliance in the sunlight.

Even if you can only see the back, you can't help but sigh at the gorgeousness of this dress and look forward to the beautiful look of the girl when she turns around and looks back.

And her hair has grown a lot longer, reaching the same floor-length length as Melissa's.

If Istina wasn't very familiar with herself, she really wouldn't dare to go up and recognize him.

"Hmm... I'll make a note of this and ask the hero to find someone to do it for me later."

For some reason, looking at the dress, Istina felt a sense of love for it. So after a brief thought, she memorized the appearance of the dress in her mind and planned to ask Eve to find someone to recreate it. As for the front part of the dress, she could only imagine it herself because she couldn't see it.

But the strange thing was that when she looked at the back, the dress appeared in Istina's mind, as if she had really worn it before.

And it wasn't just a faint sense of familiarity from having tried it on once, but the entire appearance of the dress emerged in her mind in an instant, as if she had worn this dress every day.

Walking forward, Istina also tentatively touched her back, but unlike the situation on Eve's side, her back did not directly explode into light spots in the sky. Instead, she suddenly turned around and looked straight at her.

"Ah, this outfit is exactly what I thought."

For some reason, this was the first thought that came to Istina's mind in the face of this sudden change.

What's even more strange is that in the face of this somewhat terrifying incident, she didn't seem to be afraid at all, as if she knew that the other party would not hurt her.

It was only then that Istina noticed the difference between the figure she thought was her own and her own—her eyes were similar to Eve's, both a dazzling blood-red...

§214 Destruction Magic

"..."

After suddenly turning around and looking at Istina, the girl, who had the same appearance as Istina but with a different eye color, just stared straight into Istina's eyes without saying a word.

Istina looked at her innocently, not daring to make any move in the face of this inexplicable situation.

Although her sixth sense was telling her that everything was fine and she was safe, her reason was telling her that the problem was serious and she should run away quickly.

Finally, after a long yet brief gaze, the mysterious girl tilted her head slightly, and then exploded into a sky full of light points, and finally condensed into a small ball emitting light.

From beginning to end, she didn't say a word to Istina, and she was as delicate as a doll.

"Well…"

She reached out her hand hesitantly and touched the small ball, and then a large amount of magical knowledge was engraved into Istina's mind. Different from the time magic of Eve, what she gained was knowledge about destructive magic.

Destruction magic was once an absolutely forbidden technique in the ancient mythological era, because the beings at that time had predicted that destructive magic would eventually lead to the arrival of beings that would destroy the world and end the mythological era.

As for the power of destructive magic, it goes without saying that even the entry-level magic has the power of the highest-level magic among general magics, which emphasizes high firepower.

However, not everyone can learn destruction magic. Only people like Istina and Eve, whose magic power belongs to the annihilation and destruction series, are qualified to learn it.

According to the introduction in her mind, due to the prophecy, the holders of destructive magic were once hunted endlessly in the mythological era. Once it was discovered that someone's magic was of destructive nature, no matter what the other party's identity and status was, they would be executed directly to prevent future troubles.

But despite this, there are still many people secretly studying this kind of magic. Some of them are fanatical scholars, and some are madmen who try to fulfill the prophecy. Otherwise, Istina would not be able to obtain this knowledge about destructive magic.

As for whether the methods of those gods could prevent the end of the mythological era, is there any need to say more?

To this day, those gods have long since fallen, and not many stories about them have been passed down.

What happened on this continent in the mythological era has now become a mystery.

"Hmm...it seems like this could be something the hero could learn."

After taking a quick look at the introduction to destruction magic in her mind, Istina thought so.

Unlike Eve's time magic, which has ridiculously many requirements and is difficult to use, the biggest barrier to entry for destruction magic lies in the attributes of the caster. After all, possessors of destructive magic are extremely rare.

Moreover, only the holders of pure destructive magic can perfectly unleash the power of destructive magic. Those with only a little destructive magic power cannot meet the requirements.

Therefore, destruction magic can be said to be a typical example of how a lot of people get stuck at the very beginning.

However, researchers have come up with a solution to this problem. They have invented a method to artificially simulate destructive magic for a short period of time, thereby exerting the power of destructive magic.

However, the simulated destructive magic is just a fake after all. Using this technique will cause great harm to the caster himself, which is definitely a method of hurting the enemy a thousand times and hurting oneself eight hundred times.

If you are surrounded and want to make a spectacular self-destruction to drag more people into the water, then this trick is the right one.

As for other times, it is not recommended that you use this technique if you do not have a very complete emergency response and rescue medical system on standby for you at all times.

However, all of the above limitations have nothing to do with Istina. After all, the annihilation characteristics of her current magic power are among the highest level in the destructive magic. It is believed that it only exists in theory and is impossible to appear in reality.

Because according to their calculations, no matter whether it is the beastmen, demons, elves or even those extinct races, it is impossible for them to withstand these two kinds of magic.

By the way, the destructive magic that Eve possesses is also included in this list.

Destruction and annihilation are hailed by those who study destructive magic as the two most dazzling pearls in the crown of destructive magic, which are out of reach.

As a result, the pair of pearls appeared together in the world long after the mythological era ended.

I have to say, the world is really full of humor.

Among all the magic inheritance here, the one that attracted Istina's attention the most was a magic called "Land of End".

Similar to the "Ten Directions Thunder Prison Realm" she is using now, this is also a domain-type magic, but the difference from general domain-type magic is that this magic incorporates some of the characteristics of the demiplane into it.

And unlike the general process of transferring from A to B, such as entering the demiplane from the main plane, this magic is more like temporarily putting the demiplane on the main world, that is, temporarily copying the content on B to A, covering part of it.

The advantage of doing this is that no matter how much damage occurs to the copied part of the B data, it will not affect the A part which is the original data. As long as the time is up, the world will repair itself, avoiding the problem of the demiplane being blown up and causing damage to the surrounding area and needing to be expanded again.

Well, it can be said that it is extremely suitable for a guy like Eve who can blow up an ordinary unreinforced demiplane with a little force in daily life. It can be said to be tailor-made.

She often heard Eve complain about not being able to exert her strength.

However, when destroying the abyss, there is no way to use this magic to reduce the aftermath. After all, the abyss is located in the world and is something that will be deleted in Side A.

But the embarrassing thing is that the person who obtained this magic was Istina, so she will need to play the role of a teacher to teach Eve afterwards.

Fortunately, the explanations in this inherited knowledge are very detailed, so it is not too difficult to teach others.

"Hmm...are we going to continue forward?"

When Istina came to her senses again, the white jade path under her feet had turned back into the wonderland, extending forward into the thick fog.

After hesitating for a moment, because the situation was the same before and after, Istina continued to walk into the fog in front of her.

"I wonder what's going on with the hero..."

In perfect tacit understanding, the same words flashed through Istina's mind as did Eve's, and the two continued on their respective paths.

§215 Origin of Magic

"Wow, this is really..."

The situation was somewhat similar to that of Istina. When Eve once again walked into the path extending into the mist, the scene that appeared before her was also the gate of the Grans family's residence.

“It would be a shame if we couldn’t tear it down again.”

Shrugging with some regret, Eve then used a standard side kick to embed the heavy gate of the base into the building inside the base.

Well, even though I can't use magic to cause damage, it's still okay to give it a good kick.

"Hmm... nothing good to see."

After a quick tour of the base, Eve arrived at the family residence where she and Istina had lived before.

But unlike Istina, Eve did not stay here for too long. She just touched the few things in the house as she did before and then began to walk towards the center of the space, ready to leave.

She had no attachment to this place at all. The only good thing the family had done was probably letting her meet Istina.

So, Eve soon found the figure leaving here.

But the difference is that this time the back view is the version of her when she was a hero, and it is no longer the same as her previous life.

Eve quickly stepped forward and reached out to touch the figure without hesitation. She watched the figure explode into light spots all over the sky, and finally condensed into a small ball.

After getting it, a familiar feeling came over her, and a large amount of knowledge was once again engraved into her mind, and Eve's expression became strange in an instant.

The reason is simple. This knowledge tells about an origin magic system with "origin" as the core.

Well, it's another magic system that was completely lost in the Dark Ages. However, according to the introduction, some elements of the origin magic were absorbed into the system of life magic, so it wasn't completely lost.

As for the reason for the loss, it is the same as the previous time magic. One word to describe it is difficult. The difficulty of these two magics is even greater than that of time magic.

In this system, there are two magics that are particularly eye-catching, and their names are "Reincarnation" and "Resurrection".

In order to confirm whether these two magics were really as she thought, Eve began to look up the introductions about these two magics without hesitation.

[Reincarnation: Can be used by others or yourself. The effect is to send the origin of the person being cast to the future. It takes a certain amount of time to accumulate enough power again. After the power is accumulated, if a suitable body is encountered, it can be directly resurrected in a perfect state with the previous power and memory retained.

After resurrection, due to the need to adapt to the new body, the strength will decrease in the initial period of time, but it will soon adapt on its own.

As for how far into the future you can reincarnate, the minimum requirement is to complete the time to accumulate strength again. There is no upper limit, as long as your origin does not dissipate on its own. The specific requirement also depends on whether there is a body that can carry your consciousness and power.

If you are unlucky after reincarnation and never find a suitable body, it is possible that you will be left to die.

Note: Beings who have died naturally due to their lifespan can also use reincarnation magic, but their powers will not be retained, only their memories.

[Resurrection: Can be used by others or yourself, the effect is to resurrect the dead, only limited to those who died of external causes, those who died of life-span cannot be resurrected.

After resurrection, the magic power reserves, physical strength, energy and other physical factors are the same as before death. Only the consumption of using resurrection magic will be deducted, and the injuries suffered on the body will be healed to ensure the survival of vital signs.

The time limit for using resurrection magic is within ten seconds after death. Resurrection within three seconds is a complete resurrection and will not have any impact. Resurrection within three to five seconds may cause the resurrected person to lose power or memory. The severity is random. If you are unlucky, it is possible that you will be turned into an idiot without any power.

As for whether they can be resurrected after five seconds, it is a gamble. You will lose eleven times out of ten. Even if they are really resurrected, they will all be in a vegetative state.

After ten seconds, the origin of the deceased will completely dissipate due to being exposed to the world for too long, and it will be completely impossible to resurrect.

Therefore, if you want to actually use resurrection, you need to reach the level of proficiency to complete the casting within three seconds.

】

The reason why the origin magic was lost is largely due to the high cost of practice. Not to mention reincarnation, just as for resurrection, if you don't have enough talent, don't come out and harm others. It's really not enough for you to practice.

And because of the time limit of the resurrection magic, Eve felt that few people would dare to hand over their lifeblood to others unless they were at odds with each other and the person was someone they trusted extremely much.

That's right, both resurrection and reincarnation magic can be cast by the user himself after his death.

Here we need to explain from the beginning what "origin" is.

According to the introduction to Origin Magic, every life in the world possesses a core called Origin, or the Core of Origin. This core also houses people's consciousness. In Eve's previous life, this was probably the soul? And magic is the power that flows from this core.

Origin is usually invisible, but in the system of origin magic, Eve also saw magic that can make it visible.

The Origin is both solid and fragile. It is solid because normal attacks cannot cause any damage to the Origin. It is fragile because once it loses the protection of its body, it will quickly collapse when exposed to the world.

The simplest and most effective way to destroy the origin is to destroy the opponent's body, exposing it directly to the world.

Just look at the time limit of the resurrection magic and you will know. Even if it is only five seconds, the origin directly exposed to the world will suffer extremely serious damage, and after ten seconds it will be completely destroyed.

Then comes the key part. Even if the body is destroyed and only the origin remains, the spell can still be cast using the origin, and the way of casting the spell is completely different from the current system.

To put it simply, the current spellcasting system is that magic power naturally flows out from the origin, flows through the body, and is then called upon by people. The principle of posthumous spellcasting is to directly control one's own origin, so that the magic power flowing out of the origin forms a magic circle, thereby completing the spellcasting, and using reincarnation, resurrection, and even other magic.

Well, that sounds pretty awesome.

Needless to say, this spellcasting technique is naturally very difficult, mainly because it is difficult to practice. After all, you have to tamper with your own origin. If you are not careful, you may end up in the crematorium. Moreover, given the particularity of the origin, rescue is probably useless and you can only end up in the crematorium.

§216 The Imperial City's Past

"Hmm...it always feels a bit awkward."

With one hand gently supporting her forehead, Eve stood on the white jade path and sorted out the knowledge in her mind. Not long after, she was fed an entire branch of magic knowledge twice in a row, and even Eve needed some time to adapt.

She was lucky, as both her time magic and origin magic were particularly powerful.

Although neither of them is the type that focuses on direct attacks, what Eve has the most is firepower. It can be said that this kind of auxiliary magic is more useful to her.

However, as a big shot in the origin magic, reincarnation and resurrection are a little embarrassing for her. After all, she is a vampire, and the royal family among them. She has immortality and is of a super high level. She can recover from fatal injuries before losing consciousness.

As for wanting to completely destroy her body in an instant? Well, her anti-magic and defensive magic weren't useless.
