The vampire heiress is two-faced

Page 169

The time she can stay in this plane is directly linked to her mental and physical strength, and it consumes a great deal of both. If she is too tired or her strength is depleted, she will naturally not be able to stay in "Temporarily in This Moment" for long.

Moreover, it cannot be used continuously, and its range of influence is extremely limited. If Ludwig leaves the range of influence of "Stay Here For Now", she will be forcibly returned to the reality where time flows normally.

However, with the blessing of the vampire queen's power, she has now evolved this power into [Brief Moments, Stay Here For Now].

Now it is more powerful, more enduring, and has a wider reach. Its only limitation is that it "cannot affect the real world."

Of course, for the present

For the Eternal Night Queen, this point is already dispensable.

Because she can expend a large amount of mental energy to forcibly influence reality from this time-stagnant plane.

...

She approached the edge of the rooftop, put her five fingers together, and quickly made a sweeping motion.

Swish-!

The air trembled eerily, then its true form was revealed—

A barrier.

She saw her own shattered reflection on the barrier.

"Some kind of 'mirror'? Hmph, I've seen through it."

She smiled and adjusted her slightly disheveled silk necklace.

"While I certainly need this, now is not the time to look in the mirror."

Undoubtedly, if she were to pass through this "mirror," she would be forcibly returned to the "mirror cage."

It disguises itself as an ordinary space through one-sided perspective, and uses subtle spatial manipulation on both the inside and outside sides to reflect all energy and objects...

But in the frozen time, Ludwig forcibly launched an attack on reality across dimensions and time, successfully revealing its true nature.

Here, time has stood still. No matter how powerful this barrier is, how can it be restored immediately after being damaged?

chap——

The silver-haired girl drew a rapier from her sleeve, producing a metallic scraping sound as the blade was drawn from its sheath.

Swish swish--!

She added three more cuts to the crack, then flicked it lightly with her finger, and it shattered like glass, revealing a faint rectangular opening, large enough for her to pass through.

"hiss..."

Ludwig shook her head and sheathed her rapier.

The immense energy consumed by unleashing a series of attacks that impacted reality would cause Ludwig to experience a temporary mental lapse, even to the point of losing her balance.

"Alright, let's continue our enjoyable execution time?"

...

...

...

On the rooftop of the building across the street.

Crash—

Alexei rose from the wreckage of the chassis.

He took out a syringe and injected himself with it.

"Gurgle... Ah—!"

His wounds healed at a visible speed, and the blood red in his pupils became increasingly vivid.

He looked at the silver-haired girl on the opposite building, raised his gun, and aimed it at her.

"...No, the bullets can't be fired from the outside now."

He put down his gun and turned to leave.

"Cough, the intelligence is wrong. When did she acquire this power? We must inform him first and change our tactics to deal with her..."

Bang!

The next second, the gun in his hand was kicked away.

Where do you want to go?

Snapped!

The girl smiled and grabbed Alexei by the throat. Black mist gathered beneath her high heels, allowing her to stand easily in the air and lift the tall old soldier by the neck.

Alexei glanced sideways in horror at the rooftop opposite, which was now completely empty.

In the blink of an eye, she escaped the "Mirror Prison"!

"remove!"

Alexei channeled his blood energy, quickly eliminating all friction at the neck—

But Ludwig still held him by the neck, and he didn't budge.

His eyes betrayed his shock.

"What..."

...

"Don't understand? Heh..."

The vampire queen chuckled, a sound that sent chills down one's spine.

"This Queen

I'll reluctantly share some information with you.

"I am Ludwig, the Eternal Night Queen of the Vampire Clan, who inherited the throne of the Vampire Clan. All blood energy, in its source, originates from the blood of the Vampire Queen, so what difficulty is there for me in deconstructing all blood energy and reducing it to nothingness?"

"You know what it means to tell you such an important secret, right?"

boom! !

With a knee strike, she slammed Alexei directly into the wall.

...

"Cough cough..."

Alexei coughed as he stood up and looked up.

"You're not planning to let me leave?"

"...That depends on whether you have the ability."

He drew his saber and walked towards Ludwig without fear.

"Soviet soldiers will fight to the death and never retreat."

"In order to eliminate the monsters, I chose to pledge allegiance to the Spire Group so that my skills would not go to waste... This is the path I have chosen, and I will follow it to the very end."

His eyes held no regrets.

"bring it on."

...

...

Ludwig scoffed.

"It's shameless to talk big."

"Do you know that your motherland no longer exists?"

"Wishful thinking to 'fight for the Soviet Union'... In your beloved motherland, what would those war heroes who sacrificed their lives for their country think if they saw you acting as an accomplice to evil, indiscriminately attacking innocent demon civilians?"

Now that you've said that, I understand.

Her words were piercing and unforgettable.

"You're simply unable to adapt to the new era and have chosen to remain in the past."

"Immersed in killing, they seek only psychological comfort. Soldiers, accustomed to obeying orders, need to carry out killing orders day after day to quell their inner anxiety."

"Fighting in the name of the Demon Hunters... is just a high-sounding excuse for you."

...

"Aha."

The girl chuckled softly.

"are you angry?"

...

...

Crunch, crunch crunch crunch crunch—

Alexei's veins bulged, and his eyes were wide with anger.

"Vampires...we'll fight to the death."

Chapter 189 Not So Smart

earlier.

Paris France.

At the entrance to the Vampire Dark Zone, Yin Shang finally met the person he was waiting for.

"It's finally here."

He pulled his hood up, deliberately concealing his face. After all, he was a "wanted criminal" wanted by the Spire Corporation.

...

"Ah Yin? Is that you?"

A haggard woman came to him with her daughter. Both of them looked terrible because they were exhausted from running around and their families had been destroyed.

“It’s me,” Yin Shang replied.

"Like me, cover your and her faces well so they won't be discovered."

The woman nodded: "Okay."

Yin Shang stuffed a bank card into her arms.

"This contains some money I've saved up over the years, about two hundred thousand US dollars. I... don't need it anymore."

“Use this money to buy new identities for your daughter and for yourself, and find a place to hide, the farther the better.”

Yin Shang turned and headed into the depths of the vampire's dark zone.

He left without looking back.

"This is the last thing I can do for you. You'll have to suffer for a while, but once it's all over, you'll be able to live a good life."

The haggard woman in black seemed at a loss, looking at the bank card in her hand and then up at Yin Shang.

"Wait, Ah Yin...! What...what are you going to do?"

...

Yin Shang stopped in his tracks, as if he were thinking about something.

Then, he calmly said:

“Avenge your husband...my good brother.”

...

The woman, holding her daughter's hand, stood blankly at the entrance to the vampire's dark zone, watching her old classmate's figure gradually disappear into the darkness.

She was speechless for a long time, unsure of what to say.

Because she noticed something.
