Chapter 744: The good news is that the bug Murphy found hasn’t been

Chapter 742 741.The good news is that the bug Murphy found hasn’t been blocked yet, and the bad news is that
Lina felt like she experienced a second death.

It was like the feeling she had earlier when she had escaped from her cage in the Tower of the Ring, when she had been hit from behind by those bastards with a Hypermagic-Crack, and she had unleashed a Disorderly Teleport in her final desperate attempt.

She didn’t really care what nook or cranny her body would end up in, she just didn’t want to have to be taken and desecrated by those assholes after her death.

As the most famous “beautiful mage” in the Tower of the Ring and even in the human world, Ms. Lina’s appearance needed no introduction, and she was praised by her most demanding peers as the most elegant flower of psychic energy that could be born from the Silan bloodline, and her appearance was exactly the perfection of a Silan woman’s imagination.

Of course, this perfection was not entirely innate.

Though she had a good foundation, after entering the mystical realm of psychic energy, Lena used some “psychic plastic surgery” to fulfill the ultimate dream of all women.

But that wasn’t the problem.

The problem was that she hadn’t expected to taste death for the second time in a short period of time, after falling from the sky on the desolate shores of Antani in the most standardized “flying corpses”, and then being brought back to earth by that magical girl Chuchute with a strange object.

Ah, how unlucky he was!
It seems that the smooth first half of his life has used up all his good fortune.

She felt unspeakable pain in a daze.

It was as if the blood in her entire body was flowing backwards and being pumped out of her body from the neck, and she could feel her body drying up and her life dying at an accelerated rate, but soon enough, that blood surged back into her body with another kind of power that didn’t belong to human beings.

That grim power from midnight not only brought back the majestic life force, but also silently transformed her dying body and repaired the injuries making her bewildered realization that she had already seen her own taiyoukai gently beckoning to her was once again pulled back into her body.

“No.”

The well-informed Lina knew what was happening to her, of course.

She was resisting this hellish fate, but the weakness of the judgment from Lord Paying made it impossible for her to even fight back on a conscious level, so she could only passively accept the “Midnight Blessing” as it was called, and drink the “Wine of Immortality” in a state of total unwillingness. She drank the “Wine of Eternal Life” unwillingly.

This also showed that Vikrama and Lumina’s judgment of the first embrace was correct.

The first embrace and the blood contract were not as beautiful and perfect as the vampires described, there were many loopholes that could be exploited, which was probably one of the reasons why Murphy detested this kind of blood connection.

Lena was lying in the coffin, and she could feel her heart, which had been broken even before, resuming its beating and regaining its strength.

She was taking back the power that was hers with every breath!
Anger was certainly burning as well, as if silently guided to allow the moment she opened her eyes, Ms. Dragonflame’s entire body instantly moved out of the coffin, starting with a brew of Ultra-Magic-Dragon Breath Technique, searing psychic energy converging at a breathtaking speed to use Lina’s anger as a guide to burn everything repulsive before her eyes to ash.

“Ahem, aren’t you being a bit too extreme?”

The nice voice rang in her ears, and the burning rage in Lina’s heart instantly dissipated as if it had been castrated in that instant, allowing herself to force her sanity down to the point where even the Dragon Breath Technique that had been building up was forcibly interrupted, allowing herself to cough and spew a few wisps of black smoke from her mouth in the manner of a caricature act.

In desperation, she found her mind and body howling for her to kneel to the owner of the voice.

She herself was able to resist this desire for allegiance for now, but with her understanding of vampire midnight culture and tradition, Lena could basically conclude that her resistance would dissolve into a sickening desire for devotion within two months at most.

One would long to give oneself as a gift to the vampire in front of her and would feel heartfelt pleasure at all the other’s appreciation.

One would lose one’s pride in one’s own mind and be completely reduced to another vampire’s plaything.

Damn it!

This was a life that anyone with a bit of idealism would resist, and one had fallen into the trap.

“Can you not have so much drama inside? You know, at the beginning of the blood contract, when you hadn’t yet learned to hide what you had in mind in front of me, all your mental activities could be sensed by me.

Including those very rude things you just thought.
I can tell you very directly, Your Excellency, it is only because I do not have the source blood in my hands at the moment that causes me to be unable to return my freedom to you, but please believe that my anticipation for the completion of this matter is much more urgent than yours.

First Embrace is likewise not a process for me to enjoy or look forward to.”

Murphy’s voice with extreme helplessness resounded in front of Ms. Lina’s eyes, causing the Dragonflame Master to stare at the excessively handsome and young vampire in front of her with a very complicated gaze.

Murphy incidentally opened the mind stream of Desire Energy when he spoke, allowing Lina to perceive what was going on in his mind, and this direct corroboration also allowed Dragonflame to confirm that this vampire in front of him wasn’t lying, and that he really wanted to give himself freedom, but there was no way to help that the only remaining source blood had already been used up in the previous action.

“This is an unexpected event, your situation is very bad, Venerable Lord Paying also found out about this before arranging this initial embrace, you know, in the current continent the method that can turn your bad situation into a safe one is honestly also being not too much.”

Tris also spoke up:
“It was a good idea for you to pin your hopes on the mysterious powers of the ancient kingdom of Calum, but nay those powers that can bring back the dead are very expensive even in the land of the Eastern Holy Spirit, and that’s a price that is by no means affordable for you, a wild mage who has lost his organization.

In contrast, becoming a vampire is the easiest, most direct, and cheapest way to go.”

“And the worst way!”

Lina finally spoke up.

She said in a tone of complexity:
“The ‘Great Dean’ has already predicted the fate of the Blood Vulture Clan, and that Astral Rip that destroyed Cadman City was led by me personally, three of you. I was well aware that the entire Blood Vulture Clan would have gone up in smoke under that kind of power, but things went wrong after all, and fate
Fate has delivered me to you as the culprit.

That’s right!

I am the executioner you’ve been looking for.

I admit that the factors behind that incident were complex, and slow to realize that I had become a sword in the hands of some power only at the moment the betrayal came.

But what’s done is done!
Sins don’t go away quietly just because I sincerely bow and apologize, the world is not that ridiculous and even less gentle, come on, three of you, inflict on me all the punishments that you have inflicted on butchers and criminals.

I am ready to bear it all, but my apprentice Chuchut is innocent, and you must let her go!”

This self-explanatory statement made the three vampires in front of her look at each other in disbelief, and kind of explained the main reason why Lena was dead set against taking Chuchoot into Transylvania.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of vampires, but because she had a guilty conscience.

“Do you think that by punishing you we can make the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who died feel relieved?”

The tone of Murphy, who knew the cause and effect, also chilled as he said sternly:
“You have not thought of yourself as a bit too precious, Ms. Lina! If I had known just now that you were the executor of that disaster, I definitely wouldn’t have saved you! But now that it’s already like this, we might as well make things clearer.

The city of Cadman, engulfed by the astral realm, was not completely destroyed, and there were still 100,000 people holding out in the astral realm, looking forward to a salvation that might never come.

You say you’re guilty, so prove your apology with real action!
Dusk.
The organization that did this to us and to you is trying to sacrifice them to subspace to create something called the ‘Incendiary Demon Soldiers’, we still have a chance to bring them back to the material world, but you must act now.

Also, we invited you to join this little organization for a reason, here, see for yourself!”

Murphy threw those intelligence from the Scholar Faction to Lina, who took it in her hands and read the beginning before revealing a shocked look, then turned to gritting her teeth, obviously because she had finally found the culprit who had pushed her step by step into this desperate situation.

And while Lina was checking those information, Murphy also scanned the tips on his character card;

“First embrace complete! Lina Felm Anitara Le Sombra has fed a portion of her power back to you in the process, which is manifested as:

Thinking +2, Perception +1.

New Talent [Psychic Harness – Supermagic Expertise] acquired, this talent is a passive effect that greatly enhances the possessor’s perception and manipulation skills of psychic energy, and allows the user to cast unique ‘Supermagic Spells’ while consuming multiples of psychic energy.

This type of spell will greatly increase psychic energy consumption and increase the destructive power of the original psychic energy effect, currently up to three times the amount of psychic energy can be paid to increase the maximum destructive power limit of the spell by 200%.

This effect can be increased as the user’s life form increases, with the final form being paying ten times the psychic energy consumption to increase the spell’s destructive power limit by 600%.

Tip! The rate of energy consumption doubles while in the Ultra Magic spellcasting state.”

“Huh?”

Murphy frowned.

Despite getting one of the most precious spellcasting expertise on Lina, the 3 points of attributes that Lina had fed back made him doubtful, if he remembered correctly, Velanther’s first embrace fed back 6 points of attributes before.

How was it that there was this difference in power feedback when they were both Gold rank?

Could it be that Villanther was much stronger than Lina?
It couldn’t be!

Although the power of the Life Weaving Maiden was on the metaphysical side, it certainly wasn’t as terrifying in terms of destructive power as the Plastic Faction’s Psychic Master, and Ms. Lina was a big name in the Psychic Circle for a long time now, and was a mid-ranking level amongst the Golds in any case.

So was Lina too weak, or was Villanther hiding some secrets that he didn’t tell Murphy?
Come to think of it, that 6-point attribute feedback from before and that [Fate Weaver’s Embrace] talent that could avoid death were indeed a bit too much.

But with Villanther’s character and way of doing things.
If she didn’t want to say it, Murphy didn’t even have a way to activate the mandatory constraints of the blood contract to force her to say it, and the person herself had said that the blood contract was more of a ritual for her to declare her allegiance, and it didn’t really mean that the vampire’s bloodline power could bypass the Spider Lady’s Divine Power and take effect on her.

Well, it seems like Spider Lady might have many, many more secrets to dig up.

“I’m done reading, and I have to say that you guys have opened my eyes in your collection of information about Twilight, and finally, I finally know where my anger should be spread, instead of being like a headless fly who doesn’t even know to whom to turn the sharp edge of the blade of vengeance.”

Lina shook her hand and handed the information back in her hand.

She glanced at Murphy and Tris, and Phineas, who was staring at her angrily, and tried to suppress the mixed feelings within her as she said:

“I’m a . Not a very good personality, and I know I’m actually quite annoying in the Tower of the Ring, but that’s not why they unleashed their vicious back-stabbing on me; my faction was purged, my students were slaughtered, my mage tower and my home were taken over.

Even I myself was nearly made into a slave girl and sent to King Louis.

It was a humiliating experience, and it was even more of a betrayal of the idea of the Tower of the Ring.

Coupled with the stains on me that simply cannot be washed away, I will cooperate with you, and I will immediately travel to the Dark Mountains to search for those traitors and do everything in my power to bring those innocents still trapped in the Astral Plane back to the Material World.

Only after these things are done will I be in a position to ask for their forgiveness and lead you to the Tower of the Ring, now a stronghold of the Twilight.

I will burn it down with my own hands as an end to my feud with the Dusk!
This is my oath!

This is the oath of Lina ‘Dragonflame’, and if that’s not enough, I’ll do it in the name of my late mentor.”

“There is no need for that.”

Murphy waved his hand.

He had no good feelings for Lina in front of him, and that kind of detachment was clearly perceived by Lina through the tradition of her bloodline, which also caused a wave of “aggression” to rise in her heart that made her dumbfounded.

Blanch!

This contract of obedience of yours shouldn’t take effect so quickly, okay?

“Let’s get down to business, did you just say that the ‘Grand Dean’ of the Tower of the Ring made a prophecy?”

Tris said as she hugged her arms:
“I once infiltrated the White Cliffs, and I know some of the secrets about the Tower of the Ring… I don’t think your ‘Great Dean’ is a being, is he? As far as I know, it’s a very unique existence, but its true nature is only known to you, the higher-ups of the Tower of the Ring.

Tell me about it.

What exactly is the ‘Great Dean’?”

“It’s a . How can I put it? I don’t know how to describe it.”

Lina frowned:
“I just know that the ‘Great Dean’ was located in the half dimension of White Cliffs before the Tower of the Ring was founded, and that the thing is said to be from the last Era, and has been a symbol of the Tower of the Ring for the past several years.

The real reason for this is that we couldn’t figure out how the thing was constructed or how it worked, and there was no way to activate it, so we could only place it at the top of the main tower as a mascot.

And a few months before the last Black Plague, the last Grand Mentor of the Tower of Purification, Lord Myrddin, brought back a certain thing from the Dark Mountains, and after we combined it with the Grand Dean’s essence, it was miraculously activated!

It was truly a heavenly gift!

The Provost of the Tower of the Ring, ‘The Undead’ Simm, repaired it based on the hints it gave, and after that, the Archdeacon has been providing the necessary prophecies and advice for the actions of the Tower of the Ring, and all of our actions after that have been largely planned and pushed forward by the Archdeacon as well.

Of course, I know that the Tower of the Ring doesn’t have a good reputation in the outside world, however you are only seeing the surface.

At the very least, we have protected this world at least thirteen times with our covert operations before the accident, and at that time our enemy was none other than Subspace.

I don’t understand when the Tower of the Ring was infiltrated, but that certainly has nothing to do with the ‘Great Dean’, it’s just a very useful tool, and it’s goal is clear, to protect this world from subspace.

Or even that astral tear in Cadman City, which the Archdeacon calculated had a 37.85% chance of interfering with the subspace rift that opened up beneath the city.

That’s why we went on that adventure, but we weren’t lucky enough.”

Murphy exchanged glances with Tris and Femis.

It was something that would actually feel sensational to any other vampire, that an organization like the Tower of the Ring would actually listen to the planning and direction of a strange thing when it pushed forward with an operation.

But Tris and Murphy had seen the world.

Murphy even guessed that this “Grand Dean” should be one of the core AIs of the Golden Era, and it was even very likely that it was part of the core management AI “Eden” of the Eden District that His Eminence had mentioned.

“So, what did Myrddin bring back from the Dark Mountain Range back then to make the ‘Great Dean’ activate?”

Tris asked, and Lina shook her head:
“No one knows, the undead ‘Sim’ might know but he obviously won’t talk about it, and as for the person in question, Lord Myrettin he died a hundred years ago.

The reason why the Sanghai people’s Sun Ship was able to accurately hit the area of the clan where the King of Biting Bones was located was because of an extremely self-sacrificing adventure that His Excellency Myreddine undertook, he was annihilated in the Sun Ship’s bombardment along with thirty-seven high-ranking Spiritual Masters of the Tower of Purification.

It was because of his risky and precise positioning that we have hope of ending the Fourth Black Plague.

Master Myrddin is not just a hero of the Tower of the Ring, he is a hero of the entire continent.

Unfortunately, those secrets were also completely covered up with his death, and really, if Master Myrettin had survived until now, Dusk wouldn’t have been able to infiltrate the Tower of the Ring into that horrible state.

That lord had been the most perfect representative of the human psychic masters, but unfortunately, he had already given his all for this continent.

Alas, it’s all because we, the ones who came after us, were too incompetent that we brought shame to the sage.”
