Monster Lord: The Goblin Offers the Saintess to Me at the Start-Chapter 33: The Bloody Catastrophe
Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The Bloody Catastrophe
What Reina found somewhat unsettling was that the last thing she saw was Conning and Flora rushing toward her in a crazed frenzy, muttering under their breath: "This bitch! I'm going to kill her! I'll tear her apart! I'll drag her corpse to feed the dogs, I'll use a blade to pierce her body and hang it in strings on the city wall! Sivis will definitely see it!"
The two of them failed to break Reina's spirit and instead were consumed with furious humiliation.
They howled, closing in on Reina, but then hesitated, repressing their impulses in fear.

Conning and Flora roared, but they dared not take the risk.
What if Reina still had even the slightest bit of consciousness left? What if she activated the bomb and this servant triggered the explosion, preventing the mysterious person from getting what they wanted...?
Conning and Flora could not bear such consequences!
They could only glare at the servant before them with malicious eyes, quietly waiting.
Both Conning and Flora knew that even if Reina was only slightly harmed by the blood servant's poison, with her strength, she would complete the transformation within ten minutes at most.
Even if the little servant had delayed the spread of the toxin somewhat with her actions, it would only take a bit longer.
At this moment, the grayish-black poison had fully spread from Reina's arm into her body...
...
At the same time, as Conning and Flora watched eagerly.
Sivis' eyes showed both frustration and fear as he looked ahead, with Minnet City now just within reach.
But the horse by his side had collapsed, breathing heavily.
Earlier, when Sivis was attacked, he had quickly sensed that something was wrong!
The assassin wasn't some random person, and the target was clearly him!
But Sivis' social circle wasn't complicated—his only enemies were the idiots in his family.
Being attacked didn't make any sense!
A bronze-level assassin was no cheap hire. Conning and Flora, who had been working against him all this time, couldn't possibly afford such an assassin.
The resources in Sivis' warehouse were mostly common goods, not much in the way of extraordinary items, so using assassination as a means was extreme and unnecessary.
At that point, he had a nagging suspicion that something major had happened within his family.
Without hesitation, Sivis activated Corpse Resurrection.
The assassin's soul was of exceptionally high quality, and after the sacrifice, Sivis had gained 300 soul points.
Without wasting any time, Sivis spent 100 of those points to exchange for the Hurricane Spell, a magic designed to speed up travel.
The Hurricane Spell was a rare bronze-level magic that reduced air resistance over a large area and generated wind force to accelerate movement. It functioned similarly to Holy Swordsmanship, achieving effects close to silver-tier magic, though this spell was more geared toward support. It wasn't as effective in single combat but was perfect for quick military marches.
Moreover, the Hurricane Spell could be upgraded all the way from silver to gold... and eventually to diamond-level.
It was a must-learn spell for lord-class occupations.
Once Sivis cast the Hurricane Spell, his speed increased dramatically!
When the assassination attempt took place, Sivis was still two to three hours away from Minnet City, but he managed to reach the city in just a matter of minutes.
The price of his haste was that the horse he had carefully selected had collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath, on the verge of death.
Outside the city, Sivis quickly entrusted the horse to a merchant who approached him, asking him to take it to the Church for healing, so that the loyal steed could receive treatment under the Holy Light.
"Thankfully, according to the slave contract, Reina is still alive."
"There's still time."
Sivis swiftly walked toward the city gates, his mind racing through various possibilities.
Was there something of immense value among the goods he had purchased that had attracted the attention of a powerful individual?
Or had the Daister family, at some point, offended someone influential, leading to repercussions even for him, an outsider?
He couldn't be sure of what had happened until he returned to the family, so he could only rush back as quickly as possible.
To Sivis, the lives of the other family members didn't matter; even if the resources were taken, with his Corpse Resurrection ability, he could make up for the losses.
What mattered most was that Reina must not come to any harm.
She was the one servant he had personally selected when he crossed into this world at the age of six, the one who had stood by his side for years, and for Sivis...
She was the only family he had left after his parents passed away.
However, after advancing for a while and swiftly entering the city with his noble status.
Sivis' expression changed.
Through the slave contract, he suddenly sensed a very ominous signal.
His only slave, Reina, had contracted the Blood Plague of the bronze-tier and was about to be transformed into a Blood Servant!
In an instant, Sivis' face turned ashen, his mind in turmoil!
He immediately shoved the crowd around him aside, rushing toward his family's estate with urgency.
At the same time, a wave of panic filled his heart!
Sivis had imagined many possible calamities that could befall his family, but he had never anticipated an invasion from the Vampire clan.
This was a disaster the Daister family could never hope to withstand!
Even Sivis, if he had not been forewarned, might have met the same tragic fate.
Theoretically, as the heir to an Evil God, Sivis should not have been susceptible to the plague of a regular bloodline.
However, the reason vampires were referred to as extensions of the Evil God's will was precisely because their power carried the divine will of the Sea of Blood.
Once the evil force known as the Blood Plague was injected into Sivis' body.
It would certainly be sensed by the Sea of Blood's God.
The current state of this Evil God, according to the lore of Gandanyal, was that it retained some of its power, hidden within the folds of space.
It was far more powerful than the deceased Evil God Sivis had inherited.
The Sea of Blood's God would undoubtedly spare no effort in attempting to take over Sivis' will, turning him fully into a Blood Servant, thereby gaining the power of another Evil God.
"So... I was almost caught in a deadly trap??"
Sivis was drenched in cold sweat!
The infection of the vampire clan was nearly impossible to defend against—one simple wound could inject the plague!
Once Sivis realized this, panic surged within him, and he desperately wished he could instantly reach Reina's side.
The Holy Swordsmanship, which he had mastered through the system, allowed him to harness the purest Holy Light, giving him the ability to halt the process of Reina's transformation into a Blood Servant before it was complete.
As a Monster Lord, Sivis also had a way to heal the Blood Plague, a condition that could only be delayed but never fully cured. The solution was to transform Reina into a Dragonborn Maid, a protector he had long planned for her to become.
According to the official explanation in the game, during the transformation into a Guardian, the person undergoing the transformation will experience a complete restructuring of both their life and soul. This process will cleanse any abnormal status effects, meaning the Blood Plague will naturally disappear as well.
While the materials required for a Dragon-Blooded Maid are rare, with enough time and effort, they could eventually be gathered. Furthermore...
Sivis also needed to have a relationship with Reina to complete her transformation.
In the past, Sivis had known the physiological knowledge from his previous life, so he refrained from touching the young maid, planning to wait until she turned eighteen to act. But now...
There was no time to wait!
As he made his plans, Sivis couldn't help but feel uneasy.
He thought to himself...
"I guess my luck is actually pretty good!"
He had arrived just in time, and Reina hadn't been infected. What if he had been attacked first by a Blood Servant?
"If that had happened, Reina and I would both be dead!"
At this thought, Sivis couldn't help but feel guilty.
Reina...
I originally wanted you to live a good life with my wealth.
Instead, you saved me through your misfortune...
What Sivis didn't know was that...
His little maid had not suffered misfortune, but had made a voluntary sacrifice in an attempt to save him!
Still, Sivis was filled with some lingering doubts.
Why had the vampire clan suddenly appeared? He looked around at Minnet City. The city had fallen into some decline, but from the wide streets and towering city walls, one could still see the grandeur of its past.
It seemed like something clicked in his mind...
"Dammit, how could I forget this! A city of Minnet City's size must have Blood Servants hidden in its sewers, prepared by the vampires in advance!"
"After all, if we calculate from the time the Saint of Light disappeared, the 'Blood Cataclysm' will erupt in one year!"
Sivis's expression changed drastically, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.
The Blood Cataclysm was a major event recorded in the prequel novel of Gandanyal. This disaster would spark chaos across the entire continent, creating the stage for future players to stir up turmoil.
Though Minnet City had weakened after the end of the battle against the Evil Gods, due to its remote geographical location, the strongest beings in the city now were only at the Silver-tier.
However, the former glory of Minnet City had left behind a complete underground system, a perfect hiding place for the descendants of the Sea of Blood to make their move!
