I want to just drift through life in Type-Moon.

Page 103

Just then, a figure leaped out of the cave—it was the murderer who attacked her, the one who was supposed to be drained of her blood.

He forced himself to stand up, swaying unsteadily, because even though he was seriously injured, he could never let the enemy see him in such a pathetic and cowardly state.

With this unwavering conviction that had sustained her since ancient times, she strained to open her eyes wide and stare directly at the figure crouching on the wooden house railing.

On the other hand, Olga Marie inside the house watched Yue Zhengling's retreating figure with a mixture of joy and fear.

Just now, Yue Zhengling suddenly woke up. Yes, standing not far away, she clearly saw her servant open her eyes. Then, before her surprise could even well up in her heart, Yue Zhengling sent Altruchi flying in a way that she couldn't understand at all.

Yes, she couldn't understand.

Although Eltra was supposed to be on his right, she flew out towards the wall on the left, and when Yue Zhengling stood up, he had a heart beating strongly in his hand.

Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, Olga Marie noticed that the heart was radiating a magnificent light, and what happened next filled her with immense terror.

Yue Zhengling then brought the heart to her lips and gave a joyful smile.

He said something to his heart, and then his heart stopped beating.

Olga Marie found her vision blurring, or rather, the things in Yue Zhengling's hands became blurry.

When vision returned to normal, the heart had transformed into a translucent, gem-like crystal filled with blood.

This crystallization, which could already be called the world's most beautiful beauty device, was casually held by Yue Zhengling, who then poured the liquid inside into her mouth.

Then, Yue Zhengling's body began to emit a strange, faint red light.

Olga Marie felt a chill run down her spine. Of course she knew what those liquids were, but why would Yue Zhengling, who was clearly not a vampire, consume blood?

Just then, Olga Marie recalled the scene less than three minutes earlier when Black Princess Altruchi bit down on Yue Zhengling's neck, and instantly understood something.

Yes, the moment Altrouge bit Le Zhengling, the anomaly began.

The perfect body is called perfect because it has unparalleled functions, and absolute adaptability is one of them.

After being fed by a vampire, a vampire typically goes through the stages of Ghoul, Living Dead, and eventually grows into a fully-fledged vampire. Some vampires will then defeat their original Dead Apostles and become the new Dead Apostles themselves.

People born with exceptionally high physical potential have a higher chance of progressing to the later stages of this process. There are also extremely rare individuals who possess the ability to skip this process altogether.

The current situation is similar to that of Yue Zhengling. The reason it is similar is because Yue Zhengling is not a vampire, because the premise was wrong from the beginning.

First, Yue Zhengling is not dead, but on the verge of death; second, his current behavior is merely instinctive, which is analogous to being in the Living Dead stage; third, and most importantly, he is not suppressed by the superior vampire.

Although this situation won't last long, the Einzbern family, who are familiar with the physical capabilities of this body, will surely have some thoughts on how it will ultimately turn out.

Because no matter what the outcome, the existence of Yue Zhengling will eventually surpass the Dead Apostles and become an existence equal to or even surpassing the True Ancestor.

As Yue Zhengling squatted on the railing, happily drinking Altroqi's blood, Altroqi had already stood firm, staring at him with eyes full of humiliation.

No one has ever dared to treat her like this before!

Since birth, even the most vulnerable and helpless days have never been as embarrassing for her as they are now!

Even when she fought her sister Arcueid and had her limbs torn apart and her body ripped open, it wasn't as painful as this!

Because when she was weak, she knew she was growing; because in the battle, she had also seriously injured Arcueid!

However, now she could only watch helplessly as the other party, with a mocking look (not really), devoured her heart (not really), and even forcibly established a blood pact with her. She would never forget this humiliating memory until the day she truly died!

Just as she was about to rush over and perish together with the other party, that ambiguous white mist reappeared, and the call from her mother (Gaia) came from the other side of the white mist.

Eltrauge gave Le Zhengling a deep look, memorizing his appearance, and then, with her injuries seemingly fully healed, turned and left.

When she came to her senses, she found herself back in the town she had been living in.

"your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Suddenly, two familiar voices came from afar. Eltrauge looked up and saw three figures rapidly approaching from a distance.

"Stuart, Brad." Seeing that her three guards had arrived, Blackie could only temporarily suppress her troubled thoughts and reassure them.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" the white-clad knight asked first. "Your sudden disappearance made us think the Holy Church had used some special means to move you."

Fina-Blood Svelten, commonly known as White Knight Blood. One of Princess Princess's protectors. A vampire count, captain of the Ghost Fleet. Because he has a preference for beautiful young men, he only drinks the blood of men. He possesses the Reality Marble: Ghost Force, which allows him to summon his former Ghost Fleet to fight for him. He is the eighth seat of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles.

"It's nothing, I was just sent to a rather strange place by my mother." Kurohime waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.

Meanwhile, the black-clad knight stood guard with his sword, watching his surroundings to prevent another enemy attack.

Rizo-Waal Strout, commonly known as the Black Knight Strout, is one of the world's oldest three-dimensional Dead Apostles, having escaped the curse of time on all things and gained immortality. He wields the demon sword Niya-Dark, the True Demon, and is the eighth seat of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles.

The last pure white dog nuzzled affectionately against Black Princess Altruki's thigh, and Black Princess patted its head reassuringly.

This large white dog is the strongest member of the team, the Primate Murder, the White Beast. A demonic hound (Gaia's monster) that obeys only the will of the Black Princess (Altruki), it has the absolute right to kill humans and is also qualified to compete for the title of Earth's strongest life form (TYPE-EARTH).

It has existed since the birth of mankind. It was created by Gaia to suppress mankind. TYPE-EARTH is a half-finished product (TYPE- + planet name is the title of the strongest person on this planet, and it is a weapon created by the planet to consolidate its rule). Although it ranks first among the twenty-seven ancestors of the dead apostles, it is not a dead apostle. It just learned to suck blood from its master (Black Princess).

The white dog seemed to sense something and looked at Altrudge with concern, because in its eyes, the vampire princess named Altrudge Brunstad was weaker than before.

Although Altrouge Brunestud is the weakest in the group, as a hybrid of a True Ancestor and a Dead Apostle, and a vampire princess on the Dead Apostle side, her abilities are manifested in the convenience of contracts, so strength is not her outstanding point.

In the past, it had suffered several serious injuries, but the injuries had been healing. However, upon their reunion after a short separation, the White Beast could clearly sense that its master's aura had dropped several levels.

The reason why the Black Knight and the White Knight did not sense it was because the blessing from Gaia had taken effect again. However, as Gaia's demon hound, the White Beast could ignore this blessing and see that Altrouge was outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

Seemingly noticing her beloved dog's gaze, Eltrauge shook her head to reassure Him, then said to the White Knight Brad, "Brad, inform the Night of Walachia and have him send over the blood we collected earlier; I need it."

White Knight Brad paused for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, it's not time yet, is it? We haven't collected enough items, so the quality—"

Altruchi frowned impatiently and said, "Don't ask so many questions!"

Brad quickly shut his mouth, bowed respectfully, and said, "I apologize, Your Highness, I have overstepped my bounds."

Chapter 233 Blood Pact (Part 2)

Eltrauge waved her hand irritably. She knew it wasn't Brad's fault. He didn't know she was seriously injured again, and just as he said, if the blood collected during the Wallachia Nights wasn't collected enough times, the quality of the extracted blood wouldn't meet the ideal requirements.

“I forgive you, but the appointed time is approaching. How many more times will he need to complete it?” Altruchi looked at Brad.

Brad looked at the Black Knight.

The taciturn Black Knight Stuart closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again and said, "One more time."

Altrouge sighed softly, "In that case, tell him to hurry! We're in France now, right? To save time, let him just find a small town in France to eat!"

The planet's protection is currently doing its best to maintain Eltruchi's recovery, but losing her heart, which serves as a magic reactor, is not something that can be easily regenerated. If she relies solely on self-healing, it could take hundreds of years.

That's why she wanted to use the power of the Wallachia Night.

The so-called Night of Valazia was originally Tsbia Eltnam Oberon, the head of Eltnam three generations ago, an alchemist from the Atlas Institute.

Five centuries ago, this man, who had perfected calculation to the point of being able to see the future through calculation, foresaw an inevitable demise. Because of his obsession with "turning the impossible into the possible," the alchemist, who was given the title of Atlasia, tried every means to find a way to avoid the demise.

However, despite exhausting all his calculations and racking his brains for a long time, Tsbia still could not find a way to avoid destruction, and in the end, he went mad because of it.

Even in his madness, he remained determined to find the ultimate answer, so he became a Dead Apostle to enhance his abilities, hoping to create a miracle.

After failing to challenge the Sixth Law, the powerful spiritual particles (soul blueprints) that formed him dissipated, and the spiritual particles liberated from his body and will spread in the atmosphere and remained in the world.

Originally, the dissipated spirit particles should have fallen into "nothingness" and awaited the next transformation. However, before the dissipation of the mist, Tsbia completed an equation called "Tartari (Supreme)". As long as certain conditions are met, his spirit particles can gather in the "rumors" that occur and be resurrected in the present world to continue the challenge of the Sixth Law.

He calculated the regions where Tatars would occur until the extinction of humanity, and then created nautical charts in millennia as a program for the "dissipation of the fog" to move after Tsbia's will disappeared, ultimately becoming a "phenomenon" that manifests in places where certain conditions are met according to a certain cycle.

The Tatali originated in Wallachia, Romania—on a full moon night, as rumored, it appeared in a village in Wallachia as "Dracula the vampire." When the Church's Knights arrived, there was no liquid left in the village, and the roads were covered with completely dried human skin.

Because the scene was so horrific, the church could not think of any other name for it, so they called it the Wallachia Night, which contained the greatest disgust and fear.

Then His appearance requires manipulating people's anxieties and rumors in a specific place in advance, amplifying and converging the common sense "malicious information" circulating in a small area until a distinct image emerges, and then giving it a physical form based on the appearance, abilities, etc. in the rumors, "an inherent barrier that transforms the form into the form in the minds of those around."

Tatali can only occur if certain conditions are met:

1. The prototype of rumors is an individual, preferably one with intellect like a human being.

Second, the places where rumors spread are isolated areas in society, making it difficult to establish consistency among widely disseminated rumors.

3. There are one or more recipients in the place where the rumor is spread. This recipient can be someone who knows the cause of the rumor, or someone who caused the rumor to spread, etc., there is no fixed standard.

4. The place where the rumor occurs must be the location designated by the Dead Apostle Tatari.

V. The night of the full moon.

Simply put, the Night of Wallachia is the manifestation of people's unease. It is a type of Realistic Marble, so it cannot last for very long. Even powerful Dead Apostles can only maintain it for one night at most. Therefore, the Night of Wallachia is a phenomenon that only lasts for one night.

It has no physical form; it arises from people's unease about the rumors, like a mirage. But when the rumors become so widely believed, the Night of Wallachia manifests itself in reality.

Because it is a phenomenon, the Wallachia Night will never disappear, no matter how many times it is destroyed, just like natural phenomena such as wind, rain, and typhoons, it will happen again as long as the conditions are right.

And each time it occurs, it manifests in a different form. The largest Wallachia Night in the past was recorded as having a giant beast god as large as a mountain.

This is the truth behind the existence of the thirteenth seat of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles, named Night of the Night of Valazia, which is actually the Reality Marble Tartari. It uses the Earth as its ocean, the mist as its starship, and the will of Tsbia Eltnam Oberon as its helmsman, reaping lives and constantly challenging the existence of the Sixth Law.

In order to ensure that this interstellar journey would not be interrupted, Tsbia made a prescient exchange with Eltluci, the son of Gaia, for a contract that would last until the appearance of the Crimson Moon a thousand years later, until the end of his initiation. Tsbia could continue to exist in the form of Tatali.

In return, they would help collect blood during his voyage and refine it into the Philosopher's Stone, unique to the Atlas Institute.

The Philosopher's Stone, the omnipotent crystal, is the most effective healing potion for Altruki, which is why she sought out the Night of Valazia immediately.

While the Black Knight and White Knight are impeccable as guards, they are completely useless in certain situations.

"Your Highness, let's leave here first. The Church is about to catch up." Through the shared vision of the undead, the Black Knight Stuart saw that the Agents, who had suffered heavy casualties earlier, had been replenished and were once again heading towards them.

"What a persistent pest!" Altruchi showed an expression of extreme disgust. She was currently seriously injured, and if a battle broke out here, she might be exposed. She could imagine that the Church would do everything in its power to eliminate her.

“Alright, let’s find somewhere to hide for a while, and then meet up with it after the Night of Wallachia is successful.” But what Eltruc didn’t expect was that the time and place of that rendezvous would be so delicate.

Meanwhile, in Japan of this world, Kuonji Yuzu saw a vision of Olga Marie kissing Le Zhengling in another world. The little black cat touched the boundary ring, causing Eltrauge to be teleported. Only a few seconds had passed.

The black cat showed the human-like expression of "Oh no!" and kept slapping Yue Zhengling's face while meowing loudly.

"What do you want to say?" Although Yuzhu was a witch, she still couldn't understand cat language, so she could only tell from the black cat's actions that it was extremely anxious.

Only then did the black cat remember the existence of the pearl. It turned around, pointed its tail at the ring around Yue Zhengling's neck, and then lay down and rolled over several times.

"You want me to turn that thing over?" Yuzhu understood what the little black cat meant. Although she didn't understand the purpose, she did as she was told.

When Yuzhu flipped the boundary ring on Yue Zhengling's body over, the phantom reappeared. At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Aozaki Aoko, who had just finished school, walked in carrying a paper bag, saying as she walked, "Is Yuzhu here? I bought some takoyaki, would you like some...?"

However, before she could finish speaking, she was so angry at the scene before her that she forgot what she wanted to say.

The phantom that appeared on the bed was precisely the scene of Altrouge licking Yue Zhengling's neck repeatedly, and then opening her mouth to bite him.

"You thieving cat!" With veins bulging on her forehead, Qingzi shouted and kicked the phantom of Heiji with a high whip kick.

Upon hearing the words "stealing cat," the black cat took a few steps back in fright, while Youzhu also snapped out of her illusion. She knew it was an illusion, and although she didn't know where it came from, she was perfectly clear that the dead apostle wasn't here.

As expected, Aoko's whip kick missed its mark. She hadn't anticipated that her attack would miss, so she lost control of her body and fell to the side as if she were out of control.

Fortunately, just as she was about to fall to the ground, Qingzi reacted and used the paper bag to brace herself against the ground, managing not to fall too badly.

"Hey! Yuzhu, what's going on!" After Aoko stood up again, she first reached out and touched the illusion, while asking Yuzhu a question.

Yuzhu watched silently as the girl was drinking Le Zhengling's blood. She already had a guess about the girl's identity. Although she had never seen her before, the vampire's appearance was widely known in the underworld.

“Black Princess, Altrouge Brunstadt,” Yuzhu solemnly uttered the vampire’s name.

At first, Aoko didn't understand what she was talking about, but at least she still remembered those important memories from a year and a half ago, so when she heard the name, she understood what Yuzhu was talking about.

"Look carefully, Aoko, this is just an illusion, and this Ling is different from ours." To prevent Aoko from making a scene again, Ayumi reminded her first.

At this moment, Qingzi finally noticed something amiss with Yue Zhengling: he was being double-imaged, and most noticeably, his hair color was slightly different.

She was used to seeing Yue Zhengling's hair as pure black without a single blemish, but in the double image now, her long, flowing hair was a mix of black and white.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, Aoko knew that she could only watch helplessly.

And so, Aoko, Ayumi, and the kitten watched the phantom.

When they saw Eltrauge with an intoxicated expression continuously drinking Le Zhengling's blood, both Youzhu and Qingzi felt a strange sensation.

It was a mixture of jealousy, bitterness, and heartache, along with an urge to take her place.

As time ticked by, even health education lessons became difficult, but Qingzi, who still had common sense, knew that if she continued to inhale like this, things would be very bad for Le Zhengling.

But before Qingzi could speak, Phantom Yue Zhengling suddenly opened her eyes, and then Ertruki was sent flying. Phantom Yue Zhengling had a heart in her hand.

"Huh!" Seeing such a bloody scene, Aoko was momentarily stunned, while Yuzhu narrowed her eyes, trying to see clearly what was going on with that heart.

However, the phantom disappeared here.

Aoko blankly opened the paper bag in her hand, probably wanting to eat something to clear her mind, but when she took out the takoyaki, she let out a emotionless exclamation: "Ah, my takoyaki."

It turned out that when she almost fell, the pressure caused the red bean filling inside the tsunagi to squeeze out from the broken outer skin. Looking at the tsunagi that looked like it was vomiting blood, Aoko had completely lost her desire to eat it.

With a complicated expression, Aoko put the takoyaki back in the bag and tossed it aside. Then, she looked at Yuzu and asked, "Aren't you going to explain?"
