That was True Ancestor Ron’s attack. At his level, he already possessed his own spatial domain, like the angel Seraph. Each person’s spatial domain had different powers. Seraph’s domain power was unknown, but perhaps she wasn’t an angel specialized in combat. After all, she had only taken action once so far, fulfilling Li Lige’s wish for revenge. After that, she just focused on Adele, observing and protecting her.

But True Ancestor Ron, an elemental vampire, was different. The spatial domain he unfolded in the shadows contained storms, thunder, ice, snow, magma, all the raging elements. He tried to pull Adele into it, but it was interrupted by a light magic attack, preventing his domain from fully unfolding. That’s why Adele was safe and sound. But the girl might never know about this.

True Ancestor Ron emerged from the shadows. Who would have thought that his purpose wasn’t just to bring Dorothy back, but also to target Adele? But fortunately, someone had taken precautions, preventing him from succeeding. And that person was Victoria, who teleported there at the same moment.

Ron had anticipated this. The only person with such profound light magic skills was Victoria, the genius who once shocked the magical world. A thousand years have passed, I never thought I would meet her again in this era.

Speaking of these two, they had interacted a long time ago. It was a literal “fight.” Ron, as an elemental vampire, was naturally curious about the mages who used elemental magic and wanted to compete with the best of them. So he came to the magical world and, under the guise of exchanging magical knowledge, defeated several renowned mages. Just as he was arrogantly mocking the magical world for lacking talent, Victoria, who had just become the youngest legendary mage, stepped forward, using only elemental magic to duel him.

The result was unexpected. They were evenly matched. But for Ron, a draw was a loss. Because besides elemental magic, Victoria also mastered various other types of magic. And he couldn’t even defeat her in the field he was most confident in. It could be said that if she used other magic, Ron would have already lost. And at that time, Victoria hadn’t even reached her peak.

Feeling ashamed, Ron left the magical world in his black robes. So it turned out that he hadn’t started wearing the black robes after his body began to crystallize. He had been wearing them for a long time. It was just that now, they were even more useful.

Under the black robes, Ron’s voice was no longer what it used to be, but a low and hoarse rasp. “Victoria, are you going to interfere in even this trivial matter?”

“I, as a True Ancestor, wouldn’t harm a fellow vampire. I just want to ask some questions.”

Victoria shook her head with a chuckle. “This isn’t interfering.”

“She’s my student, I have a duty to protect her.”

“If you really have questions to ask, you can do so with me as a witness.”

“I think she won’t refuse such a request.”

“Hmph,” Ron just snorted. He wouldn’t reveal his true intentions to Victoria. But if there really was a clue about God’s thirteenth drop of blood on Adele, then, one Victoria couldn’t stop him from doing anything to survive. The current Ron was absolutely confident that he could defeat Victoria. After all, one had become stronger and stronger over a thousand years, reaching the pinnacle of elemental magic, while the other was trapped in the space-time turbulence, her progress stagnating.

The next moment, True Ancestor Ron disappeared before Victoria’s eyes. But it was foreseeable that, as a True Ancestor, he wouldn’t give up so easily. As long as his suspicion remained, Adele would be in constant danger, and Victoria would have to keep protecting her. But the real problem wasn’t the time and energy Victoria would have to expend, but rather, what was the difference between her and True Ancestor Ron?

Inside her body, a monster from another world resided, its spirit and will somehow merged with hers. Although Victoria’s will was currently dominant, she could clearly feel that as she recovered, the monster’s will was also recovering. It coveted everything about the girl even more greedily than Ron. Tentacles extended from Victoria’s shadow, reaching and grasping, wanting to capture Adele, dissect her, chew her up, and obtain everything that belonged to her. Victoria could even faintly hear whispers from the abyss. Although it was ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) a voice from another world, she somehow understood its meaning.

“Devour her, devour her!”

“You will gradually understand everything!”

“You will become...a great being that cannot be named, described, or understood, invincible and incomprehensible!”

“You will become the...God of the new world!”

Victoria’s eyelids twitched from the headache. Of course, she wouldn’t be tempted by the monster. But she had to protect Adele in this state of mental contamination. She didn’t know whether Ron would give up first, or she would break down first. But Victoria had already made up her mind. Only a monster would sacrifice its own student to survive. Before that, Victoria would use her last shred of conscious will to put an end to herself, and to that monster.

She strolled through the campus, her consciousness covering the entire academy, watching Adele return to the classroom, study, have breaks, walk her beloved girl home in the evening, and kiss her downstairs. Victoria always kept herself at a distance from Adele, close but not too close, never to be discovered.

As for the fact that there was another presence watching Adele in the dark, Victoria had already noticed it. She just smiled slightly, as if finding it unbelievable, and murmured, “A girl favored by an angel...”

“How interesting.”

“More and more interesting.” In Victoria’s time, the Grand Library of the magical world contained many ancient secrets, including chapters about angels. But the arrival of the otherworldly monster almost destroyed most of the library’s information. So this information currently existed only in Victoria’s mind. But it wasn’t a crucial secret. Otherwise, Victoria would have recorded it immediately after her revival and left it for the magical world. This information just gave Victoria a better understanding of angels, these pure and innocent beings, than others. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

So she was friendly towards the angel, sending a message through telepathy, “If that time comes, and I can’t do it myself,”

“Miss Angel, perhaps you can help me.”

“Purify my sins, Miss Angel.”

“...” The angel in the dark didn’t respond, just blinked her hundreds of eyes in the void, as if saying, “I understand.”

Soon, Adele, completely unaware of all this, returned to her dorm. For her, the pressure from True Ancestor Ron wasn’t particularly strong. Or rather, until now, Adele still thought he was only after Dorothy. She didn’t know that she had been protected once, targeted by a True Ancestor. It was foreseeable that if Victoria hadn’t acted, Seraph, hiding in the dark, might have also protected the witch she created. The girl who was once bullied by everyone had unknowingly become the one being protected, which was quite a thought.
