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

……

"Lor..."

Joyce, who had been prepared to face death, looked somewhat confused.

But after I came to my senses, I felt a sense of peace of mind and relief.

Lor was indeed the same Lor I was familiar with, a reliable colleague, friend and junior... Joyce was now certain that Lor had not betrayed the church and had no hostility towards him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the rescue at the critical moment!

"Tsk tsk, you came at the right time. You still saw the other side of me that I didn't want to be discovered." Joyce shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You mean the time you made a shameful mistake in battle and nearly lost your life?" Lor winked at him and said half-jokingly, "Don't worry, I won't tell my colleagues."

"Then I really have to thank you." Joyce shrugged.

Because of Lor's appearance, the originally tense and anxious atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

...Having said that, it seems a little too early to completely relax.

Although Isabel had been temporarily forced back by "Liu Guang", her dark red eyes were still full of madness and bloodthirstiness, her fangs were exposed, and her expression when she looked at Lor was also full of hostility.

If it weren't for "Liu Guang", she would have launched another offensive without any scruples.

"Let me ask you this, Lor...are you her 'dependent'?" Joyce asked bluntly.

"Yes." Lor nodded. At this point, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"But the problem is, your 'master' doesn't seem to recognize you, and even has murderous intentions towards you..."

Joyce looked solemn and glanced casually in the direction of Emmett:

"Is this the result of the so-called 'harm to the True Ancestor's blood'... In short, it seems she has indeed completely fallen into a state of rage... Hmm? Wait, Lor, what are you doing?!"

Luo Er suddenly raised his hand. The "flowing light" stuck in the ground instantly dissipated into nothingness, and the power of holy light contained in it also returned to Luo Er's body!

"If it weren't for the threat of 'Liu Guang', she would definitely attack again!" Joyce's pupils shrank.

"I told you, leave the rest to me. I'll bring Isabella back to consciousness," Lor said calmly, then raised his voice slightly. "Senior Joyce, and that 'friend' in the distance... no matter what I'm about to do, please don't act rashly."

Having said that, he walked towards Isabella without looking back.

"To bring her back to consciousness?"

Joyce was slightly startled. He wanted to reach out and grab Lor, but seeing that the boy looked confident, he gave up and just asked:

"How are you going to do this?"

"It's not that complicated." Luo Er smiled. "It's very simple. Just rely on 'love'."

...What the hell?

Joyce looked confused.

Is it enough to rely on love?

85. I'm back, Miss

It is said that problems can be solved by love, but in reality, Lor is not very clear about how to do it.

All he relied on was a vague hint from the voice of FLAG in his head... and also, his trust in Isabella.

After all, she is the eldest daughter of my family.

The gentle, kind, and lonely Isabella, the proud and shy Isabella who cautiously pursues happiness... She would never allow herself to become a "monster".

Senior Joyce just mentioned that the reason Isabella went berserk was probably because she thought that "the blood of the True Ancestor had been activated."

Lor didn't know why things turned out like this.

But one thing is for sure, Isabella would never lose to that kind of thing!

Lore strode forward without any fear in his heart.

At the same time, Isabella still seemed not to recognize Lor, and her eyes were full of vigilance when she looked at him.

After a moment's hesitation, she raised her hand slightly, and a crystal made of blood, like a sharp arrow, quickly condensed in mid-air, and then flew towards Lor!

Whoosh!

The blood-colored crystal flew past Lor's face, leaving a long scratch.

But Lor smiled reassuringly.

He didn't dodge just now, and to be honest, if Isabella really wanted to kill Lor, he couldn't hide even if he wanted to... However, she didn't do that, but only issued a small "warning" to Lor who was getting closer.

This shows that she was hesitant in her heart.

She is wavering!

"Young lady, you're quite hot-tempered today," Lor said softly, slowly spreading his hands to further demonstrate his non-hostility. "At times like these, you need to eat something good to calm your nerves... Speaking of which, it's almost noon. How about we go to your favorite bakery and fill our bellies?"

Isabella looked a little confused.

But then, he put on a menacing expression again, his fangs bared, and a sharp, beast-like roar erupted from his throat! The next second, several more blood-colored crystals shot towards Lor, scratching his arm, shoulder, and calf!

The force and speed were much greater than the initial "warning".

However, it was still only a minor injury.

Not fatal.

"Oh? Desserts alone can't satisfy the young lady's appetite?" Lor said with a wry smile, his steps towards Isabella still unstoppable. "It seems that it won't be so easy to appease her this time."

……

Who is this person?

At this moment, the world in Isabella's eyes was shrouded in a dark red. She could not clearly see the face of the man walking towards her.

A voice shouted in my mind -

"It doesn't matter who it is, it's just another moving prey!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"While he has already retracted the sword emitting the power of holy light, while he is completely defenseless!"

"kill him!"

But at the same time, some emotions that contradict this idea rise uncontrollably from the bottom of my heart.

It was an inexplicable fear, as if there was a bottomless abyss in front of her. If she took a wrong step, she would fall into it. From then on, she would be completely surrounded by darkness and nothingness, and would never see the light again.

Her intuition told her that this man was very important to her.

More important than the whole world.

but……

Who is he?

"What are you afraid of? This guy is very weak, not even as good as the two preys before!"

The voice in her head grew louder and louder. This voice was not unfamiliar; it was Isabella's own voice:

"You're already a monster anyway. Monsters don't need to think, and there's nothing or anyone worth protecting! Kill him, kill him, kill him!"

kill him!

The madness in Isabella's eyes became even worse than before.

At this moment, after a series of fierce battles, she no longer looked like a noble lady... Her white dress was stained with dirt and blood, and her delicate little leather shoes were long gone.

Her posture had also completely lost its composure and elegance. Her body was lowered, and her back was slightly arched. She looked like a wild beast ready to pounce on its prey!

The next second, Lor was suddenly pushed to the ground.

There was originally a distance of nearly ten meters between the two of them, but in the blink of an eye, the bloodthirsty and violent Isabella appeared in front of Lor... By the time he reacted, she had already fallen on the ground with her face up, with both wrists firmly held down, unable to move!

"Yes, that's it! Kill him! Rip his throat with your teeth and drink his blood! This is the only desire you have as a monster!"

……

"Oops!"

Joyce, who was always tense, suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Seeing that Lor was about to die, he could no longer stand by and watch. He quickly mobilized his strength to make the black thorns spread and grow out from the surface of the skin on his arm again!

However, at this moment, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulders tightly.

He was the mysterious man who fought Isabella in the beginning.

At some point, he had come behind Joyce.

"Don't interrupt them, Mr. Acting Captain," the man shook his head and warned, "The plot is now reaching a critical moment. I'm very interested in how it will develop next."

Somehow, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly when he spoke, and his eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.

...What's wrong with this person?

Joyce cursed in his heart and decided to ignore this guy.

He still couldn't just stand by and watch Lor die.

However, at this moment...

"Don't attack!" Lor shouted loudly, his tone full of confidence, "I will be fine!"

At the same time, Isabella's fangs pierced into Lor's neck mercilessly.

She was originally going to bite the throat, the fatal spot, but at the critical moment, Lor quickly turned his head to the side.

As a result, Isabella's teeth did not tear his throat.

Instead, it pierced the artery on the side of the neck!

Blood spurted out, and Isabella's mouth was instantly filled with a familiar taste... It felt as if a breeze was blowing from a distant sea of ​​flowers, and the haze in front of her eyes was swept away in an instant.

She was slightly stunned and finally remembered the name of the man under her.

"Lor..." Isabella repeated the name unclearly with a tearful voice, as if she was afraid of forgetting it again, "Lor, Lor, Lor!"

"As expected, I still have to use this trick to coax you... Compared to dessert, my blood is more to your liking, right?"

Lor answered softly and half-jokingly, while putting one hand around her back and the other hand reaching into her soft silver hair, gently holding the roots of her hair at the back of her head.

"I'm back, miss."

86. Tacit Understanding

"Idiot, idiot, big idiot!"

Isabella had tears in her eyes and kept punching Lor's chest with her little fists. "You've been gone for so many days and there's not even a single word from me! Do you know how much trouble I've been in while you've been away?"

"Yeah, Miss is right to blame."

Lor soothed him softly, and at the same time cast a healing spell on himself, allowing the wound on his neck that was still bleeding to heal quickly:

"I'll tell you exactly what happened after we get back, okay? Um, anyway, can you please get off me first? My colleagues are still here, so I feel awkward... Also, miss, your nose is running."

"I'm not getting up!" Isabella lifted Lor's shirt and wiped it on her face. "I'm tired and can't get up! And I lost my shoes, so they hurt my feet when I step on the ground!"

"alright."

Lor showed a wicked smile on his face, and without saying anything more, he supported himself on the ground with his palms, straightened his abdomen, and stood up.

Isabella, who was originally sitting astride him, was panicked for a moment. In order to avoid falling, she quickly put her arms around Lor's neck, and her legs wrapped in white silk stockings naturally wrapped around his waist.

It just became a pendant on Lor's body.

"What are you doing so suddenly?" The young lady pressed her burning forehead against Lor's. "You pervert... your colleague is still here, have you forgotten?"

"It's obviously you who are holding on to me." Lor said.

"You're so annoying. I told you the floor is rough on your feet." Isabella murmured softly, her warm fragrance gently caressing Lor's face. "But this position is also quite tiring... How about trying a different position?"

"Yes, Miss." Lor smiled knowingly, then put his arms under Isabella's knees and armpits, changing to a princess hug posture.

……

Tsk tsk.
