I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 611 - 411 Race Change Item_3

Andrei was somewhat indecisive, so he stood up and walked deeper into the secret chamber.

At that moment, Andrei's voice rang out.

"Stay in the Blood Pool for three days, and we'll consider the matter settled."

Upon hearing this, Molin sighed with relief and hurriedly kowtowed, respectfully saying,

"As you command, Lord Andrei!"

Although the underground Blood Pool was not exactly a pleasant place, being the site where Lord Andrei refined the essence of blood, it was still a relatively light punishment for Molin.

...

One day later,

inside the deepest room of the underground chamber,

the room, deep and eerie, was dominated by a giant Blood Pool. The surface of the pool was eerily calm, resembling a sheet of solidified darkness, yet beneath the deep red, it seemed as though countless lives were silently screaming and struggling. The blood was so thick that one could almost see the strands within it, emitting a suffocating stench yet bizarrely alluring.

Surrounding the Blood Pool was a series of uneven platforms littered with various corpses. Though these bodies had long since lost the breath of life, their wounds were still slowly oozing blood, as if time had stopped in this space, making death slow and prolonged.

Crimson blood dripped slowly from the wounds, forming thin lines of blood that eventually flowed into the Blood Pool.

The walls of the room were covered in strange runes and totems that flickered dimly under the dull light, as if narrating the history and secrets of this space. The air was filled with a suffocating, heavy atmosphere that evoked an indefinable fear and unease.

In the very center of the Blood Pool, there was a hexagonal, diamond-shaped Blood Crystal Stone, emitting a deep red glow, almost as if it was the heart of this space, slowly pulsating with a gleaming breath, the only source of light in this darkness.

At this time, Molin was sitting naked in the center of the Blood Pool.

Her complexion was pale and sallow, her skin beginning to turn a cyanotic shade, as if all the essence of her blood was being absorbed by the surrounding pool.

The space was profoundly silent, with only the sound of blood dripping into the pool and Molin's faint gasps audible.

Just then, a door surrounded by white light opened above the Blood Pool.

The door silently swung open, and Lis appeared midair.

"Hmm~ Lis, what place is this?"

The little white bat perched on top of Lis's head covered its nose with its wings, complaining,

"It stinks!"

Lis looked down at the Blood Pool and Molin, and said with a smile,

"This must be the lair of that Vampire Andrei, right?"

"I didn't expect this female Vampire Molin to be staying here."

Lis was able to come here because he had placed a special mark on Molin, which allowed him to teleport directly to her location upon closing in on a certain distance.

After deciding to first help Angela complete the task, Lis headed directly towards the marked location with Angela.

Since the target seemed to be in Marquis Kate's Domain, after learning about Augustus from Angela, he also brought him along.

After understanding Lis's identity and seeing Angela's affection towards Lis, Augustus showed considerable respect for Lis.

However, Lis always felt that there was something slightly off about Augustus's demeanor.

It was as if some illusions he had were shattered.

But for this raid on the High-level Vampire Andrei, Lis did not bring Augustus along.

No matter how powerful Andrei was, having him and Angela was enough.

Lis looked at this space overflowing with the scent of blood and down at Molin who seemed to be unconscious in the Blood Pool, raising an eyebrow.

Without using any boisterous magic, Lis fixed his gaze at Molin below.

Invisible waves spread out from Lis's body, directly reaching for Molin's brain.

Seven-Circle Confusion Control Magic [Mental Shatter]!

This was a highly special spell within the High-level Confusion Control Magic, originally used by Mages to disrupt an opponent's thought process in combat. However, it could also end up deadly when used against an opponent with a significantly lower spiritual power and strength.

The invisible wave entered Molin's mind and completely shredded her soul.

Molin's body shuddered, her life energy dispersed, and she slowly toppled into the Blood Pool like a puppet with no strength to support it.

Looking at the Experience Points gained for killing Molin on the system panel, Lis didn't care much and waved his hand downward.

The Blood Crystal Stone in the center of the Blood Pool was pulled out by the Mage's Hand, landing in Lis's hand.

[You have obtained the item [Bloodthirst Crystal]!]

This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.

[Item: [Bloodthirst Crystal]

Description: A special crystal created by Lord Andrei, a Golden-level Vampire, who collected numerous blood essences. It contains the power of countless bloods, yet it seems to also hold some form of abnormal impurity.

Effect: Using this item, you gain 20 points in Strength, Life Value increases by 5%, and there is a certain probability of transforming your race into [Vampire].]

-----------------

Oh?

This item is quite interesting.

Lis, holding the warm crimson crystal in his hand, was somewhat surprised.

It could enhance basic attributes, apparently a specialized item made by the vampire Andrei to replenish his blood essence.

This item is extremely rare, capable of transforming one's race, an effect akin to the Blood Clan's Initial Embrace.

Lis, holding the crystal in front of Angela, asked with a smile:

"Do you want this crystal?"

"No, no!"

Angela waved her wings, clearly disgusted.

Such a mere amount of blood essence, and filled with a bunch of impurities, she couldn't be bothered with the effort.

Seeing that Angela didn't want it, Lis casually pocketed it.

The item was interesting, but it was uncertain whether it could turn the players into vampires.

In the past life, all players started as the Human Clan, but as the game progressed, there appeared some items that could change one's race.

However, these items were extremely rare, and any item capable of transforming into any race was greatly coveted and popular among wealthy players.

They played not for strength, but for experiencing various novel sensations.

This item could be used as a reward for players later!

At that moment, Lis suddenly looked up.

"Has that Golden-level Vampire moved?"

"Not coming this way, the direction... rather, they're fleeing?"

...

Andrei, transformed into a swarm of blood bats, fled swiftly with a grim expression.

Molin of his clan's death, as the clan leader of these vampires, was naturally noticeable by him.

Just prior to her death, Molin was definitely in the Blood Pool.

To die like this, how could it be?

He had sensed no trace of an external foe.

Could it be a thief had sneaked in, got discovered by Molin and subsequently killed?

Though Andrei hoped this was the case, his Spiritual Sense told him it was impossible.

A death-like shadow enveloped his heart, reminding Andrei of the moments from his weaker past, facing certain death several times.

He thought about Molin's earlier mention of [Blood Queen] Angela and that person in the black robe.

Andrei was left with no illusions.

Bam!

Suddenly, Andrei was struck by an unstoppable force, the attack's Special Power forcibly reverting him from his blood bat form back to human form.

He was violently thrown against a thick wall, stone chips flying and dust filling the air.

Lis slowly descended from mid-air, looked at Andrei who was iron-faced and attempting to crawl out from the rubble, and said with a smile:

"Lord Andrei, when a distinguished guest visits, won't you welcome them?"
