Chapter 156: Chapter 156: A Disheveled Lilith!
Alternate Space.
The Crimson See borderlands.
In the dusk-enveloped frontier town, a cluster of bats gathered swiftly, gradually condensing into a delicate human figure.
Lilith staggered as she leaned against a mottled wall, her face exceedingly pale, her petite body trembling incessantly.
This once mighty Totem-level Blood Progenitor now appeared utterly wretched!
"Damn it..."
After the Divine Realm ended last time.
Her strength plummeted to Monarch Tier Five.
This news, inexplicably got out to a group of Monarch Peak Vampire Princes.
Among Blood Progenitors, strength dictates respect.
Her diminished power was a blatant temptation to these vampires.
All they needed to do was kill her to become the next Blood Progenitor.
Under such temptation, all the Monarch Peak vampires banded together to attack her.
If not for her former Totem-level might, she would have perished in that battle.
Yet, despite all of this...
In her bid to escape successfully, she almost drained all the energy within her body.
Now her level has fallen below Monarch Level, to merely Commander Level.
But at this moment, the real threat was not from the Blood Clan.
As a Blood Progenitor, she had myriad ways to avoid her kin’s tracking.
"Lord Blood Progenitor, don’t be in such a hurry to leave~"
A teasing voice came down from the rooftop.
Lilith looked up sharply to see a slender figure lazily swinging his legs, with a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
Damn it!
Lilith’s face changed drastically.
Ever since her fall to Commander Level, this Demon has been following her like a shadow.
Moreover, she had clashed with this Demon once.
Demon God Level!
Same level as hers.
Though this Demon God was one of the weaker races among the Demon Clan—
The Deceiver Clan!
Still, to her now...
It remained a deadly threat!
Yet the Demon had no intention of attacking, clinging to her like stubborn gum.
She had tried various methods, but could not shake him off.
"Lord Blood Progenitor, obediently hand over the Divine Pattern, you can’t escape."
"Hmph!"
Lilith snorted coldly, her form suddenly exploding into countless bats fleeing in all directions.
The Demon on the rooftop sneered:
"A desperate struggle!"
But for fear of the Blood Progenitor’s last struggle before death, he refrained from using lethal force.
However...
As time passed, the Blood Progenitor’s strength would surely continue to wane.
Eventually, the Divine Pattern would fall into his hands!
Thinking this, he shook his head and followed at a leisurely pace.
Though he failed to notice.....
At Lilith’s previous position, a drop of crimson blood quietly seeped into the brick crevices.
After a while, this blood drop gradually coalesced into the figure of a little girl.
Who am I...?
Where is this...?
The little girl blinked blankly, tottering towards the bustling marketplace and soon disappeared into the bustling crowd.
...
Elsewhere.
After days of trekking, Aster Grant finally reached the border of the Crimson See from the Alternate Space.
Only upon landing...
A large group of vampires immediately surrounded him.
"Human, regardless of where you come from, you are food upon entering here, subject to unified management!"
The leading vampire bared his fangs, "Here, you must adhere to the ways of the Blood Clan!"
Seeing this scene, Aster Grant frowned deeply.
The situation was worse than he imagined.
Though the Crimson See was ruled by the Blood Clan, routine governance was previously self-managed by humans, who only needed to periodically supply blood.
Now, even the frontier town was directly controlled by vampires...
However, his silent stance angered the vampires.
"Courting death!"
The vampires couldn’t hold back, launching an attack!
Yet, against these vampires...
Aster Grant didn’t even bother summoning his Beastbond.
What’s more, having reached Commander Level, he needed to train his combat abilities.
This bunch of vampires showed up just in time!
He needed a suitable combat opponent!
He glanced at his attributes.
[Aster Grant]
[Beastbond: Divine Angel, Nature Elf, Ghost Race Veridia, Ghost Race Scarlett]
[Contract Quota: 3/4]
[Level: Commander Tier Two]
[Talent: Sovereign, Soul-devouring]
[Power: 5000→6000]
[Constitution: 5000→6000]
[Spiritual: 5000→6000]
[Speed: 5000→6000]
[Special State: Human Race’s Favor]
[Domain: Emperor’s Might (Beast Tamer All Attributes Enhancement 300%), Absolute Forbidden Domain (Disable any Domain)]
Even without activating Emperor’s Might, all his attributes reached 6000 points.
Plus, with battle training taught personally by Veridia...
His strength now didn’t lose out to a Commander Level Beastbond.
Therefore, facing this bunch of vampire riffraff, he wanted to personally try his hand at combat.
However...
At this moment within the Beastbond Space, Lazuli watched the outside world nervously.
Though the strongest among those vampires was only at low-level Commander, since it was Aster Grant’s first personal action, she couldn’t help but worry.
"No way! Master is a Beast Tamer, shouldn’t personally take risks!"
Saying so, Lazuli attempted to dash out of the Beastbond Space.
She decided to deal with these vampires herself.
But Veridia quickly blocked her.
"No way!"
"Master is not a fragile vase needing protection; he can handle everything himself!"
As one from the Ghost Race, Veridia naturally wished for her master to grow stronger.
Despite also feeling some concern for Aster Grant, she believed he could face everything himself.
Meanwhile, Vera covered her forehead as she saw the two nearly at each other’s throats.
She too was unsure why recently Veridia and Lazuli seemed to clash easily.
Could it be mating period for Angel Race and Ghost Race?
Not understanding, yet she still tried to mediate:
"Sister Lazuli, Sister Veridia, stop fighting~"
"I think both of your points make sense!"
Before she finished, two icy gazes shot over, frightening Vera to shrink her neck.
Forget it, forget it!
Let them fight it out!
She was just a little elf with no significant standing, didn’t have a say!
However, though she couldn’t rival Lazuli and Veridia....
But she could bully the other petite girl watching the drama.
She quietly used vine to wrap around the observing Scarlett, then slipped out of the Beastbond Space in a flash.
"Eh?"
Scarlett was suddenly bound by a green vine, not having reacted before, the battlefield scene already materialized before her.
She blinked blankly, looking at Vera beside her.
What’s going on?
Vera reached over to pinch Scarlett’s soft little cheek:
"Master is in battle, as Beastbonds, shouldn’t we provide support?"
Scarlett tilted her head, looked blankly at Aster Grant, then at her own petite form.
Providing support?
That can’t be right!
Meanwhile, Aster Grant fixed his gaze on the leading Commander level vampire.
[Vampire]
[Level: Commander Tier Three]
[Power: 10000]
[Constitution: 9000]
[Spiritual: 7000]
[Speed: 8000]
[Skills: Blood Body, Blood Domain...]
Just an average level!
Can fight!
