Chapter 1404: Chapter 131: Those Who Remain

Every moment, it is constantly changing… Everyone is doing their own things.

If a protagonist is needed, then perhaps no one will be… It can only be time—the time that enpasses everything.

Later, it will bee history.

…

…

Tony awoke from a nightmare, finding herself alone. She sat on the soft mattress… So, where exactly is this place?

She remembered that she left Dormitory No. 7 in search of Mina, and then arrived at a villa outside—right, she also remembered meeting several “Noble Masters,” and then…

Then?

The sudden headache jolted the girl, causing her to hold her head in both hands—the “Noble Master” who loved to name her, the one who always cherished her, and whom she was very attached to, [Father], had died.

She saw it with her own eyes… he died.

She would never see [Father] again… would never be named by [Father] again… Tony was now a child without a [Father].

This kind of Tony… this kind of Tony…

She got off the bed… perhaps she didn’t even know where she intended to go, she simply had a desire to move.

Opened the door, and upon seeing the empty corridor, she suddenly remembered what she wanted to do—she wanted to see her [Father].

She would go to the square where her [Father] was beheaded.

Outside was thunder and lightning, outside was a surging black flame… it was the battleground of the Godly Land true dragon and the club maid, of Bazby and Meila’s chase and counter-chase, filled with imminent danger.

But how would she know these things, for she was solely focused on reaching the square where [Father] fell, “Popoqi Father, Tony is ing to find you soon… Father…”

She wanted to go there.

She walked out barefoot from here.

Later, when the Godly Land true dragon returned to the villa, the girl’s trace was nowhere to be found.

…

…

The black flame is only the seed of power, it was planted on Meila’s body by the hand of the maid—to satisfy her desire as an avenger.

There are two restrictions: the target to be killed must only be a bloodsucker, and killing non-bloodsucker targets will lead to one’s death.

The price is to offer most of the souls of the killed bloodsuckers as a sacrifice, retaining only a small portion to drive the black flame.

This is not Boss Luo’s usual approach, it was merely the maid feeling her master’s life span suddenly consuming too exaggeratedly, and thus making a temporary supplement.

The club maid sincerely could not bear to see her master’s life span diminish… she just wanted him to exist forever.

The high-quality souls loved by her master, the dazzling brilliance of souls, did not mean the maid herself would love them the same… she simply loved acpanying the master in doing what he loved, prior to this, she had been a maid working at the club for over hundreds of years, so she knew how to obtain more offerings more quickly and effectively.

Moreover… isn’t her master always so forgiving towards her?

That’s why there’s now Meila… an ordinary human who gained terrifying powers and became a puppet to this power—whether Meila could remain clear-headed is not a matter of concern to the maid.

Actually, this maid has been so ruthless from the start… after all, she is the sole presence across multiple worlds.

She is the girl from Orleans, revered as the Holy Maiden of the whole country… but at the same time, she also bore the condemnation of humanity, she who brought terror to the earth.

So, to the maid, it is good if Meila persists, and it matters not much if Meila can’t hold on and dies partway—if not for this opportunity, she most likely would not leave the Breeding Farm… her original destiny would not depart from tragedy, she would encounter despair beyond despair.

The true dragon from Godly Land, returning after a fierce beating on the villa’s terrace, silently gazed at the Flame Giants moving in the black flames, with no waves of emotions in her pupils… she was quietly calculating Meila’s gains this time, calculating how much her master’s life span could be restored with these gains.

She watched like this, but the shutdown on her body emitted an aching sound.

Is the Godly Land true dragon weak?

How could it be weak… she might as well say she’s the limit within the normal scope on this Planet’s interior, the only reason she’s outside Godly Land is the lack of near-infinite motivation, yet her power remains extremely strong.

But the maid’s body, after all, is merely an Alchemy-created puppet… the materials used to construct her body can’t withstand the power of the white flame.

If her Illusion Technique were to be lifted now… her limbs already bore numerous cracks.

Yet she didn’t mind at all, merely offering a slight smile, “A lot has been replenished already…”

It is indeed a contented smile.

…

The reason Boss Luo did not intervene during Xiruo and You Ye’s confrontation wasn’t because he couldn’t—it couldn’t possibly be too late.

As long as the maid wants to arrive beside him, she can… and the same applies to him, since from the beginning he granted her such convenient ability.

He was merely curious… curious that his maid would have such an initiative… curious that she didn’t address the issue as she usually did with a more proper method, instead opting for a direct approach.

He always believed that You Ye is a treasure with no bottom to dig… until today, there are still many unknowns, many things waiting to be discovered about her.

Sometimes Luo Qiu would wonder… if it weren’t for this ever-growing life, in his normal lifetime, could he truly ever understand her wholly.

While a normal life can only be adequate for loving one person.

Feeling the life span recharging sufficiently, Luo Qiu initially intended to unravel the limits regarding ignoring every inquiry left by the former Club Owner on him… but thinking about it, he decided to put this matter aside for now.

Another instantaneous mass consumption of life would probably trigger a certain worry in You Ye… if Meila is just a routine method by the maid, then would the maid, while in a state of worry, take an extraordinarily unconventional approach?

However, since attention has already been reignited towards understanding this former concept—despite this initial idea reviving, it equals to opening a breach… this matter can be postponed.

The spreading black sea of flames in the Breeding Farm has unknowingly stretched to Luo Qiu’s side… but they wouldn’t harm him, only bypass him.

He lifted his head, seeing in the night sky Bazby unfolding a shield similar to a border, fighting against the Flame Giant’s massive palm strike.

The shield successfully resisted the erosion of the black flame, but pure impact force sent Bazby’s body crashing into the street inside the Breeding Farm.

A big pit… within the pit, Bazby spat blood and swiftly stood up.

He had landed not far from Luo Qiu’s side—but at this moment, he didn’t notice amid this fiery street, a pair of eyes were observing everything.

Bazby quickly observed everything around him—the street was empty. Clearly, his subordinates had very well carried out his orders, evacuating all the [crops] and relevant personnel from the [Farm].

This was the only good news so far.

But if this black sea of fire couldn’t be extinguished, it would probably spread to the high walls and eventually affect the [Breeding Farm] on the other side of the high walls and the [Slaughterhouse]… If the [Farm] was for the use of the upper-class Aristocrats, a reflection of their privilege, then the last [Slaughterhouse] was truly the clan’s granary of stability.

That leaves only… only to defeat the Vampire Slayer here.

Bazby squinted his eyes… The Flame Giant approached step by step, and the buildings couldn’t withstand its pace, melting instantly upon contact.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood again—not from internal injury, but from having finally adapted to the power after consuming the essence of the Marquis of Guda, purging the impurities with a short transformation.

Bazby wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling the enhancement of his newfound power— from this moment, he truly achieved an upgrade.

At this instant, Meila, in the midst of the flames, had blood vessels protruding in her eyes, her gaze was crimson red, and her long hair stood on end under the flow of Yan Liu… As she waved her hand, the flame arm was lifted and smashed down fiercely.

Bazby dared not be careless… Taking a deep breath, he spread his bat wings and took to the sky, simultaneously drawing out the Clan Authority from his waist.

The Clan Authority held tremendous power when dealing with vampires within the clan, but if the opponent was not a vampire, it was merely an ordinary authority—yet during its creation, it was imbued with a special attribute.

[Indestructible].

This was a special Magic Technique imprinted on the authority—of course, nothing in this world can’t be destroyed. The [Indestructible] attribute merely tricks the possibility, providing the authority with a high-speed automatic repair function.

At this moment, with all the humans evacuated from the [Farm] and Bazby having fully digested the power of the Marquis of Guda, he finally had the time to properly contemplate strategies to deal with the Vampire Slayer.

About handling these terrifying black flames, Bazby had some ideas in his mind.

Now, his speed significantly increased, making it noticeably easier to dodge the attacks from the Flame Giant… Bazby started maneuvering around the giant while continuously tearing off materials from the surrounding buildings, using them as projectiles.

The target of the attack was obvious: the Vampire Slayer within the body of the Flame Giant!

The crazily thrown building materials never managed to reach Meila’s presence, getting incinerated inside the Flame Giant’s body into ashes… It appeared this method couldn’t harm Meila inside the giant.

But upon closer inspection, one could find that with each throw, the materials seemed to advance bit by bit… Acpanied by the varying materials, the penetration depth slightly changed—even the throwing speed affected the proximity!

As long as it didn’t directly vaporize, there would be moments of breakthrough!

Suddenly, Bazby focused, having tested all applicable materials and formulating a plan in his mind.

Faced with the berserk Vampire Slayer, Bazby became increasingly calm—continuing to use different materials for throwing… Unbeknownst to him, the Flame Giant ceased deliberately blocking these objects—they posed no threat!

Until, once more, some unthreatening material turned to ash inside the Flame Giant… But this time was different, for something suddenly shot out from the ashes!

It was the Clan Authority of the Torrido Clan!

Hidden within the building materials… At the moment the material was incinerated, it made a second breakthrough!

The firepower within the Flame Giant made the Clan Authority begin to melt in an instant… But its inherent special attribute allowed it to start restoring at the very moment of melting!

In merely a moment, it experienced multiple conversions between melting and restoration… And within a mere second, the Clan Authority pierced through Meila’s shoulder!

Bazby couldn’t help feeling a missed opportunity, quickly retracting the pierced authority—but the reclaimed authority mostly showed signs of melting and cooling.

It couldn’t restore to its original form… The special attribute of the authority likely destroyed by the Flame Giant’s internal fire power.

“Bazby—!!”

The pierced Meila suddenly seemed to regain some clarity—holding her pierced shoulder, she staggered… Moving the Flame Giant towards Bazby step by step.

He had no choice but to retreat, seeking the next opportunity.

Yet at this time, the flame giant visibly started to shrink at a perceivable rate… Appearing to have exhausted its power.

Bazby squinted his eyes, halting his retreat… Sensing a sliver of victory.

“Bazby—!!”

Unexpectedly, Meila inside the Flame Giant emitted a piercing scream— originally shrinking, the giant suddenly expanded again… Unleashing dozens of flame tornados!

Bazby’s attack injured Meila, snapping her out of her frenzy, but also stopped her erratic assaults!

He fell for it!

Bazby was greatly shocked, as flames threatened his body, unable to escape—hastily, he opened his full body shield to block the fire outside his body!

The shields were burned layer by layer… Already closing in on Bazby’s body, he had to grit his teeth, exerting the last of his strength… The forced potential made his muscles swell, even bursting through his clothes!

At last… Black flames swallowed him!

…

In the moment black flames managed to devour Bazby, it also dispersed—a silhouette plummeted from the sky, and Meila collapsed directly to the ground.

The Flame Giant automatically dissipated from her body.

Bang—Bazby finally fell onto the street… Almost blood-like, his blood vessels almost entirely burst, clearly reaching some limit.

“One more second… No, half a second, and…”

In this moment, he couldn’t help feeling grateful that if the slayer hadn’t been in a frenzy, recklessly using power, the result might have been different.

Violently coughing, Bazby began to lift himself up bit by bit—he couldn’t even maintain his balance… But he was alive.

For vampires, controlling blood was instinctual… The blood escaping his burst vessels began to flow back into his body—it didn’t require much power, like breathing, but the wound healing clearly couldn’t pare to normal situations.

He evidently didn’t mind these wounds… Only… he saw bite marks on his body.

Bazby froze… Looking at himself… His chest, his arms—when he touched his shoulder, he could feel prominent bite marks!

These were… bite marks left after being fed on!

Yet he… as a vampire, why did he have such bite marks on his body?

Upon realizing these bite marks, Bazby suddenly felt overwhelmingly dizzy, shaking his head, trying to clear the sensation—right then, something pierced through his body from behind.

It was a sharp blade.

“Vampire… Die!”

It was David… and the Tang Sword in his hand—a backstab!
