Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

The dark grey mark shrank slightly but did not disappear, returning to its original size after a few seconds.

It worked, but not much... I guess my level wasn't high enough.

"Your Holy Light power can indeed restrain the shadows, but the 'Shadow Spirit' is a mid-level transcendent creature. To remove the mark they leave behind, second-level magic alone is not enough," Isabella continued. "I think a fifth-level... no, a sixth-level healing magic will be needed!"

A sixth-level healing spell...

Not easy to handle.

In our Pamel Diocese, there is only one sixth-level "Holy Light" transcendent, and that is the diocesan bishop, Lord Helm... But I can't go directly to him for help unless I can explain why I was injured by a mid-level shadow spirit.

Of course, you can also find a way to get a sixth-level healing talisman... But talismans of this level are strictly controlled and cannot be found on the black market. Even if you ask for help from the Dark Moon Society, you may not be able to buy it.

Fortunately, the mark was left on the ankle, which is a relatively hidden location. It is unlikely to be discovered by my colleagues before it spreads to the hands and face.

...The time limit is about ten days, which is relatively loose.

As long as we can find a solution within this time, that's all.

"Alas, I miscalculated." Lor sighed softly and stood up. "I never thought Miles had such a powerful supernatural item on him, and he could actually summon so many mid-level shadow spirits in one go... But think on the bright side. After going through such a dangerous situation, I only suffered such minor injuries. I'm very lucky."

Thanks to the eldest lady for coming to the rescue.

Thinking of this, Lor looked at Isabella with gratitude... The latter glared at Miles who had fainted on the ground, with an expression as if she wanted to tear that guy into pieces.

"Hey, wake up!" the eldest lady shouted angrily and snapped her fingers.

I don’t know what method she used, but I saw Miles’ body twitching, then he suddenly opened his eyes wide and woke up in shock, his expression distorted with pain!

"Answer whatever I ask, and don't waste my time," Isabella ordered coldly. "Also, I have a way of telling whether what you say is true or false, so don't bother playing tricks."

“What am I doing…?” Myers’ forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he seemed to have not figured out the situation yet.

"I told you, don't waste time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Miles' body twitched violently again.

The piercing pain spread throughout my body, which was completely unbearable. My hands and feet were completely out of control... Not only that, even the spiritual energy in my body was in chaos!

He clearly realized that the vampire girl in front of him was an absolute high-level expert.

I never expected that she could easily break my "trump card." Her strength was simply unbelievable... Killing me would be as easy as crushing a bug...

Of course, you can also inflict torture on me that is worse than death!

"……go ahead."

Miles' expression was filled with despair and his voice was trembling.

The pursuit of supernatural power, in most cases, ends in death and madness, just as a moth chasing after a flame will eventually be consumed by the flames...

And it seems that my destination is here and now.

"Well, that's more like it. Cooperate well, and I'll make you die a quick death." Isabella nodded, a cold glint in her eyes. "First... what was your 'introducer' number at the tea party? And what is your true identity?"

Miles gasped for breath, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then told everything he knew.

"Next question. What extraordinary item did you just use? Tell me its name, effect, and how to use it!"

In fact, Miles has no power to resist at the moment.

It was easy for Isabella to hypnotize him.

but……

That's too cheap for him.

Fortunately, the alley was deep enough, and Isabella had set up a magic barrier around it, so that people outside could not see the scene inside, nor could they hear Miles's shrill wails.

"When my eldest daughter gets angry... she's quite scary."

Lor couldn't help but think.

After spending so long with her, in daily life, I sometimes forget that she is actually a "high-level vampire"... and in recent times, thanks to the blood contributed by Lor, her strength has become stronger and stronger.

I guess it shouldn't be difficult for Isabella now to flatten this small city of Gordon.

23. Conscience

Near the southwest exit of the underground market.

"The target is slightly overweight, wearing a dark grey coat and a fedora..."

Vivian was nervous, repeating the description of Miles's appearance in her mind, and keeping an eye on the passers-by, afraid of missing anything.

"The opponent is a transcendent from the origin of shadows, possessing the ability to disappear into the shadows... So once we see a mission with a similar target, we immediately fire 'Flash' upwards. Firstly, to eliminate the surrounding shadows, leaving him nowhere to escape, and secondly, to send a signal to our colleagues..."

The question is, can I hold Miles off until the others arrive?

The opponent is a third-level transcendent, and a member of the notorious "Ferryman"... With my current strength, I am definitely no match for him...

Vivian silently took out a thick stack of mystical spells and held it in her hand.

I suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

At this moment, a suspicious figure suddenly came into view.

He was a slightly overweight man, one hand in his pocket, the other holding up his hat. He walked hurriedly, glancing around, clearly on guard.

Dark grey coat, fedora…

There's no mistake, this is the illegal supernatural being we're looking for, Miles!

Vivian's mood brightened, and her worries vanished. She decisively raised her hand, quickly channeling her spiritual power and unleashing a flash of light into the sky!

brush!

The dazzling light instantly turned the entire street pale!

Faced with the sudden flashbang, pedestrians around them screamed and hurriedly covered their stinging eyes. "Miles" in front of them paused, seemingly in a moment of panic.

"The church's exorcists are arresting the criminals. Those who are not involved should evacuate immediately!"

Vivian loudly warned everyone, and at the same time quickly pulled out a talisman from the thick stack of talismans in her hand and injected spiritual power into it.

Second-level secret technique, weakening ray!

Any creature touched by this light will temporarily become powerless and unable to move, making it perfect for delaying the enemy!

However, as if he had anticipated her move, "Miles" reacted quickly and dodged! Then, he fled, clearly not intending to tangle with Vivian any further.

"Tsk."

Vivian gritted her teeth and quickly took a step forward to catch up.

At the same time, her hands were not idle.

Ice magic, fire magic, lightning magic...all kinds of spells were thrown towards "Miles'" back one after another, stirring up bursts of smoke, explosions and flashes!

However, it seemed that no obvious damage was caused to the enemy.

"As expected of a third-level transcendent, he is indeed not simple."

Vivian sighed inwardly, then realized that the situation was not good... That guy was almost escaping to the corner of the street! That was the range where the "Flash" spell could not reach!

She quickly cast another flash spell to ensure that even if the target turned the corner, he would not be able to find a street to hide.

Then increase your speed further to close the distance between you and the enemy.

We need to change our strategy...

Vivian thought.

If the spell doesn't work on him, then I'll use other means... Yes, I'm an exorcist of the church after all, and I can't rely solely on arcane spells to fight. Besides, I've now been promoted to the second level and mastered new offensive skills...

Now the distance between him and me is close enough to use that trick!

Second-level divine art, "True Damage Blade"!

Vivian put the middle finger and index finger of her right hand together, allowing the spiritual power in her body to gather at her fingertips... Then, she aimed her two fingers at the back of "Miles" and swung them through the air!

That’s right, the characteristic of this move is that it can launch a slashing attack from a distance.

Within a range of approximately 25 meters, any target within sight would be attacked by Vivian. Furthermore, this attack method directly interfered with the laws of space to a certain extent, lacking any "trajectory" and being completely unavoidable!

"Hit!"

Vivian clearly saw that "Miles"'s movements were obviously unbalanced and his steps became a little staggering.

However, when she chased to the corner of the street, she found that the figure in the gray coat and fedora had disappeared!

...where are the people?

Vivian was slightly stunned.

Strange... I already cast a second flash spell to ensure that he couldn't escape by disappearing into the shadows... but why did that guy suddenly disappear?

……

This Vivian is really ruthless.

And those talismans she just used, the total value is probably over a hundred gold coins, right? Tsk tsk, worthy of someone with a family fortune, she doesn't hesitate to spend money.

Lor thought with a wry smile.

Fortunately, I am good at protection and my spiritual power level is much higher than hers. Although it was painful just now, I was not really injured... However, the clothes on my body are ruined.

It doesn’t matter, it’s not mine anyway.

He quickly took off his dark grey coat and fedora, put them into his "different space storage bag", then took out his own clothes and put them on, returning to his original appearance.

That’s right, the “Miles” just now was Lor in disguise.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to escape to the corner of the street and temporarily get out of Vivian's sight, he nimbly climbed through the window into a house next door, and then closed the window. The whole process was done in one go and took only two seconds.

After all, it had been rehearsed beforehand.

Of course, this house, which happened to be empty and had its windows open, was also specially chosen by Lor.

It's all part of the plan.

After all, this incident is not completely over yet.

Miles can't just disappear like this, and his subordinate named Della can't just die in an "accident". This will arouse the suspicion of my colleagues and lead to subsequent investigations and searches...

Their deaths must be natural and leave no doubts.

...Best of all, it would be witnessed by my colleagues themselves.

Thinking of this, Lor came back to the street corner, pretending that he had just rushed over because he saw the signal, and met up with Vivian.

"Have you found the target?" he asked with a slightly rapid breath.

"I found him, but he got away again!" Vivian stamped her feet in anger. "I don't even know how he escaped... Damn it, if I had run faster..."

"Don't worry." Luo Eranwei said, "Check the surroundings first. Maybe the enemy will leave some clues."

"Well, that's all we have to do." Vivian bit her lip and nodded.

After calming down a little, she couldn't help but feel emotional.

How could Luo Er always be so calm? Unlike me, I get carried away easily and always fail to think things through when faced with an emergency...

You are worthy of being my goal and role model!

At this moment, Lor, whom Vivian regarded as a role model, took out a small bottle while she was not paying attention and dripped the blood in it onto the ground.

"Vivian, look! There's blood here!" he said seriously.

"It must have been left by Miles. He was injured by my 'True Wound Blade'!" Vivian's eyes lit up, and then she suddenly thought of something. "Wait... this blood can be used as a catalyst for the 'Location Spell' to pinpoint Miles' location! I just happen to be carrying a Location Spell charm with me!"

Well, I knew you had...

After all, I have seen your "purchase list" at Vann's place.

Lor nodded silently.

"Come to think of it, you taught me this trick... Remember, the first time we went on a mission together, we used the locating spell to find that 'kidnapped' young lady," Vivian suddenly said, her mood noticeably brightening. "Hehe, so I really did learn a lot from you."

Hello, Vivian...

Please, don't look at me with such reverence, okay?

As an old silver coin, whose head is full of conspiracies and tricks, and who has deceived sincere and kind colleagues, I feel really guilty!
