Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"Everyone has become so amazing..."

Hong and Angel clearly sensed the significant improvement in Sugar Quixote and the others' strength, and since that was the case, they couldn't fall behind.

"Hellhounds, show yourselves!"

The vampire duke who was fighting Don Quixote summoned a familiar, Cerberus.

Roar! ! !

Black lightning bolts shot from the mouth of Cerberus, and a wall of fire appeared in front of Balrog, blocking the attack. Cerberus grinned and pounced on Balrog.

"Where did this dog come from!"

"Awoo~"

Don Quixote swung the Balrog's arm and punched the three-headed hellhound away. The vampire duke felt immense pressure; the human's strength was indeed not that great, but the Balrog's strength was...

The other two vampire dukes were already engaged in battle with their respective opponents and could not help him at all.

Hikari's actions have now blocked the path of a vampire duke.

"An elf?"

The vampire duke found this territory strange, wondering why it had all sorts of military units.

"Fulfill our covenant, ride the Flame Deer, and descend!"

In the void, a giant deer riding on flames appeared and forcefully forced the vampire duke back.

The vampire duke's face twitched. He wondered if it was a big mistake to only send three Tier 8s during the previous war meeting. Even if they had all come, they might not have been a match for this guild.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these opponents are weaker than them in terms of raw power; the creatures they've contracted are all monsters...

Hikari, riding the Flame Deer, charged at the vampire duke with a fiery charge!

Flames erupted from the spear tip as it thrust fiercely towards the vampire duke, who swiped his cloak and transformed into a swarm of bats to evade the deadly attack.

The third vampire duke is fighting against Red and Angel, and he is surprised that Angel can wield two Destiny Noble Phantasms.

Angel held a gleaming holy sword and a lava battle staff.

Hong, transformed into a giant crimson wolf, pounced on the vampire duke. Angel joined her in a pincer attack, but the vampire duke raised his cloak, and a transparent wall of blood rose up to block their attack.

Compared to the opponents faced by the other two vampire dukes, this vampire duke had it much easier. Neither of them had contracted a powerful monster, but the fact that they possessed dual Destiny Treasures surprised him.

The battle was raging fiercely, but what did all this have to do with Qin Yu and his group? They originally wanted to join the fight, but because the others were too strong and were about to crush the vampires, they had no choice but to sit on the sidelines.

"How boring. Is this all the vampires are capable of?"

Luna brewed tea for herself, and then poured some for Qin Yu, Yin Feixue, and herself.

"Now it seems, it is indeed a bit weak..."

In their past lives, Qin Yu and Yin Feixue were chased by these guys; now...

His men were about to crush the vampires; it was truly surreal.

"That's why they want to bring Xiaoxue back. Without a true ruler, the strength of the vampires will only decline further."

"I see~" Luna looked at Yin Feixue, who seemed much more relaxed now.

She didn't want to go back; she just wanted to stay with Qin Yu and the others. However, that dream terrified her.

"Xiaoyu, besides inheriting the vampire clan, is there any other way for me to become stronger?"

Yin Feixue asked Qin Yu a question that Qin Yu didn't know either.

Qin Yu remained silent for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer. He even asked Zero for help, but Zero just shook his head in response.

"Get stronger? What's the point? You'll be fine with me and Xiaoyu protecting you!" Luna interrupted the conversation and hugged Yin Feixue.

"You're right, Xiaoxue, you don't need to do things you don't want to do."

Qin Yu also comforted Yin Feixue.

"But the power within me is the culmination of the vampire clan's efforts. Am I being selfish by doing this...?"

Yin Feixue had this idea in mind, "I want to return the power to the vampires, that way we'll be even..."

Qin Yu and Luna exchanged glances. "If that happens, Xiaoxue, you'll turn back into an ordinary person..."

Yin Feixue stared intently at Qin Yu and said firmly, "I was meant to be an ordinary person. Didn't Xiaoyu and Luna say they would protect me?"

Since the decision was made, Qin Yu and Luna could only smile helplessly. "You're right. If Xiaoxue has made this decision, then we will only support you."

On the battlefield

The vampire army suffered repeated defeats. The Winter Empress divided the battlefield, leaving them with no way to retreat. The situation became increasingly bleak, and the three vampire dukes were already ashen-faced, ready to die in battle.

However, a beam of red light suddenly shot into the sky from Qin Yu's position, and at Qin Yu's command, the battle on the battlefield ceased.

Holding the bloodwood coffin in his hands, Qin Yu approached a vampire duke. "Xiao Xue, return all the power the vampires gave you to them. Take it with you..."

"What?" The vampire duke was very surprised, and the other two dukes also came over.

"Then we'll have to go find a new, suitable candidate again..."

Clearly, these three vampire dukes did not want to give up.

"If you insist on continuing to fight, then your entire army of 25 will perish here!"

Qin Yu unleashed his sword domain, locking onto all enemies within it. If these three didn't leave, he would have no choice but to unleash a massacre...

Chapter 242 Pass Destination Selection

The three vampire dukes eventually retreated in disgrace with the Bloodwood Coffin. Of the 25 troops, nearly 10 were killed or wounded. The only saving grace was that they brought back the vampire lineage.

The war ended because of Yin Feixue's choice, and Qin Yu respected Yin Feixue's choice, even though others did not quite understand why she gave up her powerful abilities and chose to become an ordinary person.

Having lost her vampire powers, Yin Feixue was quite weak and needed to rest. Qin Yu carried her back to the territory, and he would take care of her for the time being.

Qin Yu originally planned to use the Kingdom of Gods Pass to go to the Kingdom of Gods, but now he'll wait until Yin Feixue has recovered enough before doing so.

At this moment, Yin Feixue saw the woman from her dream again, the woman who looked very much like her.

"Giving up your power and choosing to become an ordinary person, in some ways, Qin Yu and you are a perfect match..."

The woman stared at Yin Feixue with interest, and Yin Feixue silently sat down this time, raising her head to stare at her.

"I just want to be an ordinary person, living my life with my parents and the people I love..."

Yin Feixue revealed her innermost wish.

"However, you were chosen as the future successor of the vampire clan even before you were born, and you were even deprived of the right to choose."

The woman spoke the truth: from the very beginning, Yin Feixue had no choice, and that was precisely why Qin Yu did not interfere with any of Yin Feixue's choices.

"But you also need to know that an era of change has arrived. Without power, you will only become a burden, and one day you might cause trouble for those around you..."

The woman who said this walked up to Yin Feixue and reached out to touch Yin Feixue's head.

"Who exactly are you..." Yin Feixue asked the woman this question again.

"The time hasn't come yet. When that moment arrives, you'll know who I am, but at that time, you might be even less willing to know who I am..."

The woman's figure transformed into a blood butterfly and disappeared into the blood moon, while Yin Feixue slowly awoke from her dream.

"Xiaoxue~ Come and try Luna's new porridge."

Upon seeing Yin Feixue awaken, Qin Yu quickly picked up the still-warm meat porridge beside him. It seemed that Luna had added some nutrients that Qin Yu was unaware of, which were said to help with physical conditioning.

Yin Feixue opened her mouth, and Qin Yu smiled knowingly, picked up the spoon and began to feed her.

"Mmm...delicious." Yin Feixue praised Luna's cooking skills after a long time, but only when Luna was not around. When Luna was around, she would only say it was okay.

"Eat it all if you like it. If you finish it, I'll give you taiyaki too. Ugly Orange has been secretly buying a lot lately."

Qin Yu got his taiyaki from Ugly Orange; thankfully, Ugly Orange was sensible enough to share some with Silver Frost Snow.

Yin Feixue was already eager to eat taiyaki after hearing about it.

"Don't rush, Xiaoxue," Qin Yu said again.

I pressed it back down on her. Isn't she afraid that eating too much of this will actually turn her into a fish?

Blood Soul Realm

The army that went to war returned without bringing back Silver Scarlet Snow, only the bloodline's legacy. This could be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"Fine, since that's the case, we'll just have to find a new successor..."

The elders of the vampire clan discussed who should become the new leader. They realized that the elders were no longer suitable and they needed to find someone with sufficient qualifications. To this end, the vampire clan began a thorough search throughout the Blood Soul Realm.

Northern Continent

The last bastion of the Lighthouse Nation's power; they originally planned to wait for the vampires to throw the central continent into chaos before taking advantage of the situation.

As a result, the vampires suffered a major defeat and retreated, shattering the illusions of the Beacon Kingdom once again. Now they can only retreat to the northern continent to develop their power.

On this day, a strange traveler arrived somewhere in the northern continent. The girl had a ponytail, was dressed as a swordsman, and held an ordinary iron sword in her hand.

She looked around blankly, somewhat at a loss, caught in the question of who she was, where she was, and where she was going.

Wandering aimlessly across the continent, a group of people dressed in purplish-black clothes suddenly appeared from the roadside. They were members of the Fallen Alliance, the largest power in the Northern Continent.

The Fallen Alliance comprises members from various races who come together to pledge allegiance to the forces of an evil god, serving as its faithful followers.

"Human, this is not a place for you!"

The Shadow Gnomes jumped off their chariots and surrounded the girl; they were a gnome squad from the Shadow Alliance.

Faced with these very unfriendly guys, the girl gripped her sword tightly, her left thumb already ready to draw it from its sheath.

"kill!"

Clang!

The unsheathed iron sword instantly spun around and slashed towards the group of shadow dwarves. Whoosh!

The sword flashed through the air in a curved arc, and the girl caught the returning iron sword with her left hand using the scabbard.

In an instant, the group of shadow dwarves fell, their heads severed. The girl didn't even glance at them and continued forward. She didn't know where her destination was, but if she kept walking, she would eventually find it...
