Chapter 376: Interlude Viine 2

The string of the Golden t.i.tan extended. A golden thread budding in the air.

That was the Unique Item the adventurer party Innocent Arms, led by her master Shuuya Kagari, had obtained from a treasure chest in the labyrinth.

It was Unique, but if you poured mana into it, the golden threads would turn into protective gloves. Whenever she hunted in the Whirlpool Forest of Demonic Fog, shed use it as a means for attacking and defending without turning it into a hair ornament or gloves. Every once in a while she also amused herself by using it for the string game her elder sister had taught her.

The reason for having increased her usage of the item might be an effect of her having struggled in the battle against the silver-haired, odd-eyed Magic Cloth User in the mansion of Earl Surgebald. The name of that man, who held the alias Odd Eye, was Bounty Hunter Pearson. He was a master at manipulating the Magic Cloth of Ryaguno.

As obvious from the way he handled her, whose strength had been boosted as

Because of that, the outcome was nothing unusual, buthaving let him go weighed on the dark elfs mind.

Even now, while she recalled the events of that time, she locked the movements of a tree ogre monster by coiling the golden threads around the thighs of its two legs, using Pearsons way of handling the magic cloth as reference.

With a sharp glare, she fiercely dashed towards the ogre, pointing the crimson-scaled scabbard at its belly just as it was about to fall over to the front thanks to its immobilized legs. Drawing a trajectory as if swinging a bat, she slammed the dead center of her scabbard against the ogres thick torso. The ogres torso folded in the middle.

Holding its belly thanks to the intense pain, the ogre was blown away while sounds of its belly cracking could be heard.

The dark elf quickly pulled back the scabbard. On the other hand, the ogre crashed with its back against a thick tree trunk in the back, causing a dull, low, thundering rumble, after flying through several other monsters and various foliage. In the next moment, droves of bird monsters, birds, and small insects flew away in panic.

The spine of the ogre had been crushed and broken from the impact against the trunk. Moreover, a long, pointed branch growing out of the trunk had penetrated its belly, giving it the final blow.

The elf didnt watch the last moments of the ogre. She was surrounded by rock-shaped sorcery golems. In order to cope with them, she applied the walking style of the swordsmans.h.i.+p and a.s.sa.s.sination style pa.s.sed down in the Azmail household.

After swinging the scabbard from the left to the right as if to clear away her own silver hair, she stabbed it into the flank of a golem approaching from the right side, making it bend back. Next, while pulling back the scabbard, she advances towards the bent golem. Just like that, she swung down the Ancient Evil Dragon Sword Gadorices in her right hand at the golems head with a speed boosted by the wind cladding the blade.

The glittering of the naked blade resembled the

Kaldos sword skill

. Gadorices directly landed on the top of the golems head, bisecting it all the way down to the neck. Blood teeming with violet mana furiously gushed out of the two cut sections as the golems head parted to the left and right.

Waves of violet blood spurts relentlessly dyed the bluish-white skin forming her pretty face and her glossy, silver hair, which was a symbol of pride for her as a dark elf. Of course, her beloved silver mask wasnt spared from the onslaught of blood either.

At that moment, she focused on

, a part of her as a vampire.

The blood instantly vanished, permeating into her skin and hair.

On the other hand, the now headless golem fell apart like a puzzle that disintegrated in the air, its fragments falling to the ground.

Not yet! Its not enough! A lot more mana and blood dwells in this body!

With a sharp glint in her eyes, a firm resolution existed within her unadorned emotions. Her name was Viine Dao Azmail.

Earlier she had replenished her feelings of love through the dense and long conversation with Shuuya Kagari, the suzerain of the Light Demon Lucival.

While remembering the other

Kaldo, who was currently trying to build a dark guild from scratch, she strongly wished to grow powerful once more. And right now she was killing two birds with one stone by training to obtain new blood mana skills, gathering the materials requested by Mysty, or rather three birds with one stone, if you also added her exploring the forest.

She had just slaughtered all the sorcery golems, monsters which were equal to B-Rank adventurers. And then she had looted the orbs consisting of three stacked marbles existing within the jaws of the golems.

Pheew, the jaws were cracked, but the materials were luckily safe.

Having finished looting the essential materials, Viine activated

as a signal. While confirming the smell of Mystys

at the same time, Viine proceeded deeper into the valley, where the fog became even thicker, while clearing away the foliage at her feet.

I must be careful once Im outside the range of Pheremones Touch. Well, since Im continuing to leave behind my smell, its impossible for me to get lost, though

At that moment, my foot got entangled by gra.s.s. Dealing with those memento herb-like leaves and the tolborn leaves, which are constantly trying to stop you by coiling around your feet, is quite a pain. On top of that, the droves of monsters which keep attacking me all the time.

The monsters around here swoop down on me as soon as they see my feet stuck by the leaves, seemingly judging me to be an easy target.

The pretty fox with the silver fur I cut down a moment ago was one of them as well. Its always a hard fight against those silver foxes. Their fur can extend in all directions from their entire body. They use fur to entwine it around anything that can be called a branch, just to repeatedly move around by leaping while using their fur as new footholds. While exhibiting such nimble movements, they continuously shoot countless fangs from their muzzles which open up all in all directions.

Those are attacks I dont really want to receive head-on. Itd be a different matter if I had

like Master, though.

Ive managed to defeat a pack of those foxes with their diverse attack patterns by myself, even though I took away injuries all across my body. Afterwards I absorbed all of the foxes bright red blood. Then I skinned them carefully so as to not damage their silver pelts, and after collecting their bones, intestines, and meat in another bag at the end, I started to proceed further through the forest.

This place is the best to refine my judgment since fog that dulls your mana perceptions billows up every once in a while. Even right now, I can hear loud beastly voices overlapping from the other side of the depressing fog.

I cant let down my guard.

My training is proceeding well in such a way, butIve forgotten something important. Yes, hunting by myself means that I must deal with things myself even when feeling down! Ive thought so moments ago, but I cant really get carelessin this Whirlpool Forest.

ButI want to pee

Ohh, right! I have this with me! The dark spirits Master calls small middle-aged men or urban legends.

I activate Rasheenas Bracelet, causing a great number of midgets and small arms to appear from within the bracelet while marching in ranks. Theyre darkness spirits which can change their appearance at will.

I silently pray, You guys, spread out around me, while focusing on the bracelet.

Thereupon they salute and then start moving away while hopping around. In the meantime, I push my way through the tolborn thicket, loosen my belt and the leather binding, and

An embarra.s.sing gurgling drowns out the forests noise. But, I feel better now.

Suddenly the nearby leaves move, and something appears. Something black!

I end up tumbling over out of surprise

Fallen leaves and twigs end up sticking to my bare b.u.t.t. Cold.

Its not that Ive been careless, but Ive got to quickly fix my Hmm? Looking closely, those are my spirits All of them are midgets with mouths and beards. Theyre jumping around while being happy over having found small mushrooms, bow towards me, salute, or throw nuts at me.

Pheew. I keep watching the small spirits while smiling at my own foolishness. Since theyre small, they might be cute, despite their beards.

But, all of them have taken out scissor-like weapons. I wonder what theyre up to

That place being exposed to the fresh air feels somewhat refres.h.i.+ng, so without minding it, I watch the actions of the spirits with keen interest.

Theyre cutting the surrounding leaves with the scissors. Then they point their scissors at my p.u.s.s.y Ugh, are they telling me that they want to shave my p.u.b.es!?

No! This place belongs to Master alone! Go on the other side, and watch the vicinity.

The spirits look at me with lewd expressions. After saluting, they turn around and leave by skipping.

Good griefhow embarra.s.sing. Just as Master has been sayingtheyre really small, middle-aged men.

After getting myself fixed up in a hurry, I cancel the guards of Rasheenas Bracelet, and resume my forest exploration. As I advanced along the curly grains on the trees that seemed to serve as signs, I sensed a wind wave. That wind wave originated from a bird monster other than a harpy.

Its beaks are as big as that of a griffon. It has stabbed those beaks into the torso of an earthworm monster, gouged it out and cleaved open its intestines as it held the torso. The intestines disappear into the birds huge beak, just for it to swallow by making its throat tremble.

Its a medium-sized dragon, a drake species, but its bird shaped with an even longer neck.

While knocking down the surrounding trees with its two wings and four talons, its eating up the earthworm The feathers growing on the birds torso are majestic. Somehow it reminds me of Rollodeen-samas appearance.

When two dogs fight for a bone, the third runs away with it is nothing for meit fills my heart with loneliness. About now, Master and Rollo-sama are putting efforts into rebuilding Cydale and hunting in the Sea of Forest

Dropping my shoulders as I think of that, I head deeper into the forest.

While predicting what Master and Rollo-sama are doing, I recall the story about ghosts Ive recently heard from Master. And I remembered the ghost monster called shaps.h.i.+r mentioned by Tsuan whom I deeply trust.

Lets bring out my blood just in case. This is also part of my training.

While focusing on

, I release blood from both my feet

As the dark-red, leather-made Long Gladiator Sandals covering most of my legs dye crimson red, I deploy the blood with the image of creating a lake on the grounds surface. If its Lucival blood, the light element within should have some effect against ethereal bodies.

Mysty also uses her blood like this. The metallic lotuses floating on her blood lake are beautiful and lovely The blood gathering at Mystys stylish shoes is the best part of it.

Shes got a lot of work. And probably because shes so eager about learning more, she succeeded in developing a wonderful, unique skill.

If it comes to plain sword-drawing techniques, Ive learned them, but that fusion of blood and metal techniques is delicate and bold. Without dabbling in this and that, Ill also gather blood and strengthen my skills with the Jade Snake Bow and Gadorices.

Mysty is grumbling a lot, saying things like I wouldnt feel so edgy if I were blood message with Master! s.h.i.+t, s.h.i.+t, s.h.i.+t!, butI greatly respect her high intelligence.

While indulging in such thoughts, I continue walking as I shed blood from my feet. My dense blood thats spreading in this area. This lake of Lucival bloodinstead of searching for enemiesno, I think its unsuited for that task. It might work as a method to draw monsters to me with the smell of my blood.

If I try things with my blood, I should be able to get another sensationI remember that Master has done an exercise called Radio Calisthenics. I just watched Spirit-sama and Rollo-sama trying to imitate him, butnow Im alone, so I wont feel ashamed.

Lets try doing those calisthenics on the blood-covered ground.

Remembering his words, Beauties are doing this training every day, I keep imitating Masters arm movements.

But, at that point, the magic sources of monsters draw closer. I guess they were immediately lured in by the blood smell. Since it cant be helped, I stop the calisthenics and blood emission halfway.

A galband tiger appears in-between the trees. Time for hunting

- End of Part 1 -

As I keep sucking up the blood from the scattered monster corpses, I can sense a slight change in the bloodsucking sensation.

Although my calisthenics got interrupted, I must say that this is a wonderful place for training. It allows me to absorb blood, absorb magic elements, increase my concentration, and even sharpen my five senses. The actual ability to feel how my skills are improving is a lot more prominent over here than in the labyrinth. The only shortcoming would be that I cant get any magic stones.

I recall how I continued surviving the harsh training of the

Darkness Highway

together with my sisters.

After finis.h.i.+ng off the galband tiger and dismantling its materials, I checked the quality of its pelt while wandering around for a while.

The blood and my training is still insufficient Also, I feel like the presence of monsters has been low ever since I stepped into the valley. Oh, maybe its one of those savage lands Master mentioned?

The ground feels like solid rock. It resembles the dry place I discovered the other day

Brick-colored stones, different from the ones native of Holkerbaum, line the ground. The scenery has changed as wellits closer to an artificial quarry than a forest, Id say?

Even the sun rays filtering through the canopy flicker in the wind, causing an unbalance of light and darkness that doesnt remind one of a severe winter. Since it illuminates the area under my feet with a th.o.r.n.y hue, it creates a mysterious atmosphere.

Crooked stone monuments as theyre typical for the Whirlpool Forest sprawl out at the edges of the ravine. Across those monuments, an increasing number of vertical formations that look like alcoves are visible. Is it somehow related to the ancient stone golem-like monsters which have been appearing around this area? Going by the shapes of the alcoves, ancient dwarves could have made them, no?

Since Im curious, I approach and alcove and check. Judging by the traces of the depressed, round center, small statues should have been installed here in the past. The upper part has sections that have fallen apart as if b.u.t.ter melted under high heat.

The many hand-shaped patterns among the designs of the crumbled wallsfeel sickening, and at the same time, it makes me sense the regret of something.

Maybe the remains of a temple that has fallen into ruin? Maybe a battle between the Buu of the divine domain and the kin of the Spirit World? Or maybe its the outcome of the great war said to have raged in ancient times between the old, wild G.o.ds and the cursed G.o.ddess Master and I have offered our prayers.

The ground at my feet is gently sloping downwards. At the end of this wide, stone path liessomething like a pit.

This depression here might have been an a.s.sembly place, a council room, or something along those lines. Characters Ive never seen before are carved into a part of the floor and walls surface. The characters, which seem to advance through the maze of stone monumentsare impossible to decipher

Is an ancient ruin like Roshmail? Maybe its a relic of the Dawn civilization that appears in dwarven literature? Or maybe its a connection to the underground pa.s.sage continuing into the Pel-Heca-Line which was supposedly built by the ancient dwarves?

An entrance into the underground world I know so well might exist further down the path

Mystys older brother Sol, a former first-cla.s.s magician read

Separatists Rashuu of the Enpal House

, a investigation report about a dark elf species that treasured staying indoors, butit seems like quite a few dark elves have advanced from the underground onto the surface.

However, for an estrangement of the

Third Sorcery n.o.ble Enpal Household

s

Hundred Darkness Crossbows

given that the report was short, I quickly finished reading all of it, but I got completely engrossed when flying through the text.

It might be unrelated to the civilization of the ancient characters here, but maybe those dark elf separatists have been living in the underground of this ruin?

Im quite curious about such old ruins. In addition, I might also find monuments with letters from other cultures carved into them.

The headwind blowing up from the lower holeis cold and unfeeling. The feeling that the magic elements switch between thin and dense concentration hasnt changed, but the coldness afflicting my skin is still the same as before I became a Lucival.

Once again, I fully realize that its winter right now. Probably I can only estimate the precise date as I havent been recording it for a while now.

And the monster attacks have now stopped altogether. The sounds of beasts, too. Its unthinkable for the Whirlpool Forestthis would have been a safe place for me to pee, wouldnt it?

Still, its silence is close to that of the underground citymy home city DaUmezalan.

Does it mean this place is close to the bluish-white s.h.i.+ning barrier located beneath the hill with the house where Mysty and Hankay-san live?

Im also curious about the place that created these mysterious shapes of overlapping stones. But first, before investigating this arealets try asking around about me and my having experienced a change in the sensation of obtaining blood.

I can estimate that it stems from me having continued sucking blood and mana, butfirst Im going to question Veronica who knows a lot about blood mana.

I sit down at a place with an array of box-shaped stones as if having a picnic. If Master was with meI end up having such a delusional dream. I quickly shake my head to put my mind in order again.

Its wrong to act spoiled. I must become strong. In a hurry I created a blood message to exchange opinions with Veronica.

The sensation of absorbing blood has changed, you say?

Yes

Are you possibly in a situation where you keep absorbing blood and mana?

Yes

I see. Its a training method thats available to you because youre a Lucival. As for that sensation, I think it comes from you having sucked in a drastic amount of blood and mana. The absorption didnt catch up with the body so far, but now it has. Its proof of you having a high potential, Viine. No wonder that you were chosen as the First Lucival family members

Im really happy about this. But its only been possible because Im separated from Master right now.

Really!? Thanks, Veronica! Then Ill continue like this. I want to become strong as well

Oh, your unadorned feelings came out a bit!

Sorry, I ended up being too blunt

No, not at all. Im glad that I get to hear your feelings. I already told you before, but its an old custom for blood mana to be taught to you by your vampire blood relatives, so usually your elder take care of you for

no, thats too long so Ill abbreviate itthe opening of the first, second, and third gates until you obtain your unique skills, you know? But, since everyone including you has said that they want to do their utmost by themselves, Ive been only sticking to giving some advice here and there

Each of

probably wishes to grasp their growth with their own hands, actually experiencing it. The time weve spent with our cherished Master, who urged our growth by training us himself, led us on the right path. I feel like I learned something about being independent and not dependent

Hehe, youre writing it as something, but youre just playing dumb, arent you?

Ugh, I wouldnt do something like that

Isnt it fine to honestly call it preparedness and pride as

, and not something?

Nothing less of you as elder vampire. Youre half right. But, Im not a

whos going to create a family and become an empress like you. Im aiming to become a chosen bloodkin of my own liking

Yep, I want to be a strong

who can stand on Masters side.

I see. Becoming a chosen bloodkin, huh? As I thought, Shuuyas blood is reflected in you very strongly This is my advice as your senior: Its alright to not hurry with your growth. Youre definitely the

who was chosen first by Shuuya, so it kinda p.i.s.ses me off to be honest, but

Forgive me

Ahahah, dont worry. Its just my real feelings that showed a bit! But, I love you with whom I could form blood ties, Viine. I want to suck your blood soon again!

Hehe, despite us being of the same race, the blood of fellow bloodkin was certainly delicious

Yep But, back then guildmaster was really intense, so that was the smallest issue, wasnt it?

I remember. Even Spirit-sama had fainted with her b.u.t.t s.h.i.+ning

Its a memory of an enjoyable love session. Hehe, I, no, all of us have become his nourishment at that time.

Haha, youre right It was so hilarious. But, Spirit-sama has apparently obtained a new technique. Still, the servants back at the mansion are very unhappy. Ive been hearing them bickering about Spirit-sama not being present

Some of the servants put their hands together and prayed to Spirit-sama, so it does make sense

Looks like it. The number of decorations in Spirit-samas s.p.a.ce on the first floor keeps growing The other day, when I went to show my newest horned puppet soldier, thinking that it might be nice as a new guard for Masters mansion in addition to Ajul, they had constructed a brand-new statue of Spirit-sama in a corner of the courtyard. The Millennium Plant has become slightly bigger, and its singing has a holy dignity to it

That new soldier, the horned puppet thing, is very interesting.

Ah, hehe, Im sure youre curious about it as well. Guildmaster was very curious too

Of course. After all, its something made by you who can manipulate plenty of

Aww, putting it like that, or rather writing it like that, is just like Guildmaster

S-Sorry

Ill ask Guildmaster next time whether we cant transfer our voices through the blood messaging

Ill stop reacting unadorned then.

Rather than that, about the new puppet soldier

Oh, yeah. I made a new one while consulting about various things with Mysty and incorporating Zeetas new insect research and alchemy. Thanks to all of this, it leveled up. Its appearance also was set to be equipment with red as base color

Red equipment seems like its going to make it stand out

Yep. Were recently being called

Dignified Heavens Moon

rather than

Remains of the Moon

. The name of

b.l.o.o.d.y Moon Army

isnt just for show either. Especially with the

Blood Moon Sea Star Alliance

. Thats why Ive added a drawing of a crimson jellyfish to the torso, and a drawing of Divine Beast Rollo-chan riding on top of it. It has a deep crimson mantle equipped on its back. The mantle is designed with a picture of a moon that seems to cover the Dignified Heaven Shrine! I also made combat outfits for us which match with blood moon

A red moon clothing on Rollodeen-sama! I really want to see that! I can also make puppet soldiers, but somehow

Yep, I tried making them myself, but they immediately fell over. Since it made me upset, I used them as simple training target dummies, destroying them myself. However, this earned me Mystys wrath for wasting materials

Ever since then, I havent attempted it again

Hehe, so even you as smart woman have things that are difficult for you since you dont have the necessary skill despite being princ.i.p.ally capable of making them. But, its nothing you need to worry about

Youre not wrong about that, but

Its inevitable for individual difference to appear. Viine, you have blood sword techniques only you can pull off, dont you? Those are techniques inaccessible to me. I can use blood swords, but you seethat Gadorices, I think it was, you possessyou mentioned some subtechniques of that. I think your specialized blood techniques that seem to make use of your Legendary weapon are unique

Those are subtechniques combining Lucival blood with the techniques of Yui and Kaldo as well as the drawing techniques of the Azmail Sword Style

Yep, those are the ones I mean! That swordsmans.h.i.+p is so superb because youre using it. And yet youre also so decent at archery, how unfair!

Oh shoot, I didnt intend to anger Veronica

I didnt try to brag about it. Sorry. By the way, Id be happy if you could explain a bit more about the amazing puppet soldier you mentioned earlier

Sure! The armor and helmet arent the only special equipment! It also comes equipped with a whip staff and a snake blade as new weapons. The materials for these are extremely valuable, so I cant make many of them, but it looks as cool as a palatial guard protecting a king or emperor. Its quite superb for a guard

So that red puppet soldier includes Mystys sorcery doll techniques and Zeeta-donos alchemy?

Not directly, but the alchemy materials were great as reference in various ways. But, the foundation is mostly based on my

and

, both derivations of my

. The power of a Light Demon Lucival boosts all kinds of areas. Besides, Id also say that its thanks to the business with Holkerbaum, which possesses an old cemetery, advancing smoothly. Accordingly its become easier to get my hands on ancient bones through the underground town. Since that place is a den infested with heretics and evil, the conflicts never cease, butthe fishman pirates having been driven away by

Sea King Hornet

and us having seized a part of the Heim Rivers golden route also plays a big role

The trade along the golden route certainly seems to have made

Dignified Heavens Moon

much more powerful.

The name of

Dignified Heavens Moon

isnt just for show. Despite not being under direct control of Master anymore, the dark guild seems to be expanding well, too

Yep. Mel is still the vice-guildmaster, but shes doing her best as Guildmasters representative. Having said that, Mel is also my

Mel-dono appears to be busier with the increase of trading partners, enemy dark guilds, and her fathers matter than before Master left Pelneet

Labyrinth City Pelneet. Adventurer clans and parties who challenge the labyrinth, high-ranking n.o.bles who put up requests, big companies with a strong spirit of compet.i.tion, murder cases involving dark guilds, the transferee and reincarnators Master warned us aboutIm sure something is happening in that city every day. And since Master left, it might have become difficult for Mel-dono, despite the dark guild counting as one of the Eight Lights.

Mmh. Well, Im also busy dealing with dark guilds while protecting Amelie-chan. I also heard about Hoffmann of the Valmask family from Guildmaster. For him to be able to steal skills was completely unexpectedthough I cant believe that Lunz possesses such an ability

Master must have told her about Hoffmann who fought the Death b.u.t.terfly people, and the battle against Schmihazar who had locked up Kisara. Though I believe that Veronica, whos become an empress, can deal with Hoffmann.

Without telling her that

Even just knowing that Hoffmanns powers go beyond expectations is already a win

Yep, I think Lunz is strong as well, but hes an opponent I can run away from for many years while getting rid of his pursuers. But, when I heard about Hoffmann, I got really scared

Certainly, at present you can call him the opponent we must watch out for the most. But, he made Schmihazar fight Master after judging that he wants to observe Masters power. It was a battle method as if he had sacrificed Schmihazar to Master. And it feels like he carefully moved around so as to avoid a direct confrontationas if he had predicted the outcome to a certain extent. When I heard about the battle against Schmihazar, I couldnt help but somehow feel that this was being the case here

Truegoing by what Ive heard, he seems to be smart, too. ButI hate himI totally hate everything about the Valmask! Ill cut them apart with

, using

! And then Ill butcher Lunz together with Magit! Anyway, we have a leader meeting with a depressed-looking Paulsen, so talk to you later

Okay

The blood message of Veronica, who seemed to be in a bad mood towards the end, have vanished. Veronica has her own past burdening her.

Pulling myself together, I remember that I have my own path to follow. At that moment, Masters words crossed my mind.

Spend your time meaningfully while thinking of your own good. And show me so that I can brag that having bought you was the very best purchase in my whole life

He whispered those words into my ear while we were laying together on Masters bed Moreover, he was attacking my weak spots at the same time. I immediately o.r.g.a.s.med thanks to his terrifying techniques, butI was also very happy

Im not a slave anymore, but Ill show Master that I can do as he hoped for! Thats why Ill do my utmost over here.

I stand up in order to resume my hunting, and descend a place that looks like a stairway because of how the old stones are stacked on top of each other. I guess this place is an ancient ruin.

Master warned me to not go too deep, butI ran down the gloomy cave continuing downwards while relying on my physical abilities.

Unlike the forest above, the wind over here feels lukewarmthe atmosphere doesnt feel like that of my home city either. Its like the sensations reaching me from my long ears are slightly different

Is it because Ive spent a long time on the surface?

But, in this depth with this connection to the dark underground world, Im surea being similar to Cursed G.o.ddess Kokodeusuzuin-sama might exist here.

After performing a triangle jump on the wall with its rock face, I land and kneel down for a moment. I doubt that Ive already reached the bottom, butI should have descendedquite a bit.

Theres a dome diagonally above mehow nostalgic. A spear is stabbed into a big moon symbol carved onto the wall. Bones clearly stick out from the wall.

The ceiling extends somewhat radially while drawing curves to the left, right, and bottom.

I hear groaning echoing throughout the abyss-like darkness from all over the place as if responding and hailing huge magic sources

My blood as Lucival gets excited.

Who?Who?Who is there?Bird Dragon Abirisen??Who?Hidden Engraver Chirchi?Who?Who?Who!?Who!?!Who!?!?!?!

Whats this ethereal voice that makes me sense an unknown fear? Is it trying to make my senses go crazy through multiple sounds?

Ive got a bad feeling about this

I activate Rasheenas Bracelet. The darkness spirits spread out in the vicinity, but theyre no impregnable defense.

I wont use my Jade Snake Bow, but instead handle it with my two swords and Golden t.i.tan.

If something gets closeIll mow it down with Gadorices which circulates the blood of

. Ill also pour the poison of the snake katana on it. And, my Lucival blood is just like holy water.

So if the opponent is a member of darkness, the poison will be the smallest problem for them. They should evaporate as soon as they get touched by the blade of my sword.
