Malice Begins to Descend

After that, Arcueid lay down in bed and fell into a deep sleep, just like the night before, sleeping peacefully.

This Fang Li speechless at the sheer absurdity of this vampire's True Ancestor.

The culprit who killed this princess just yesterday is right next to her, so why is she able to continue sleeping so peacefully?

But in an instant, Fang Li understood.

"It seems that the damage from the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception has not yet healed."

Even if Tohno Shiki's cut doesn't eliminate the Death Points that can be eradicated, being cut into the Death Lines is still quite fatal.

Back then, wasn't Shudenan just holding on until the battle ended, when he finally showed signs of being unable to take it anymore?

Even if you're not killed, the damage from being hit by the Death Lines is still fatal.

Arcueid had already exhausted most of her power in the process of resurrection, and she no longer had the strength to heal her injuries.

So, on the surface, Arcueid seems to be fine, but his body is probably already covered in wounds.

This is also why Arcueid collapsed shortly after being stopped by Fang Li when she attempted to kill Tohno Shiki in the park.

If Arcueid hadn't already rested for a night, he probably wouldn't even be able to move.

Arcueid must have been exhausted by now, and even with the culprit who killed him right next to him, he couldn't help but fall asleep.

If Arcueid doesn't rest quickly and recover some of his strength, things will really get dangerous for him.

Only after making this judgment did Arcueid choose to fall into slumber without hesitation.

"Being the princess of the True Ancestor isn't so easy..."

This was Fang Li's only thought.

As for Tohno Shiki, although he still seemed to have something to say about killing Arcueid, seeing Arcueid sleeping so peacefully, he seemed somewhat relieved and soon left the room to go to school.

Naturally, Tohno Akiha also left home to go to school.

As usual, only one butler and two maids remained in the Tohno family mansion to take care of it.

There is only one difference.

That is, there's just an extra vampire in the house that shouldn't exist in the first place.

By the time Tohno Shiki and Tohno Akiha returned, it was already getting dark.

After dinner, Fang Li returned to his room.

"Click..."

With a clear, distinct sound of the door opening, Fang Li opened the door.

"Call----!"

A cool breeze was blowing out of the room.

Because the window in Fang Li's room was opened.

Arcueid woke up at some point, her back to the door, standing by the window, gazing at the night sky. Her figure was so beautiful it was like a dream, captivating the heart.

However, Fang Li was not immersed in the Matoba that was like a work of art.

After all, the back of that noble princess, turned away from him, seemed extremely beautiful at first glance, but it also carried a kind of breathtaking power.

If Tohno Shiki were here, he definitely wouldn't dare to approach Arcueid now, right?

After all, it looked like they were planning to kill someone.

Of course, Fang Li knew that Arcueid's behavior wasn't because he wanted to kill anyone.

In fact, anyone would behave this way if they encountered a formidable enemy.

Yes.

A formidable enemy.

Arcueid's current state is a sign of being on high alert.

In other words, some formidable enemy is approaching.

Fang Li was also aware of this matter.

The Azure Crow that suddenly attacked last night are the best proof of that.

Not long after, Arcueid, still with her back to the Fang Li, suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"They're here..."

Almost the instant Arcueid's voice fell, the atmosphere in the air changed.

It became utterly silent.

It was almost exactly the same Matoba as when the Azure Crow attacked last night.

So, without saying another word, Fang Li turned around and left the room.

The Tohno family, entrance hall.

When Fang Li came from the direction of the West Wing, Tohno Akiha was standing there with Kohaku and Hisui.

Fang Li was somewhat surprised to see this.

On the contrary, Tohno Akiha seemed to have anticipated Fang Li's arrival. She didn't turn around at all, but simply crossed her arms and spoke in a voice that carried a hint of horror.

Is something getting closer?

It seems that Tohno Akiha also noticed the strangeness.

Behind them, Kohaku and Hisui both had tense faces and didn't say a word. They just quietly followed Tohno Akiha, showing that they knew danger was coming but would never back down.

Looking at the Tohno Akiha, Kohaku, and Hisui, Fang Li smiled slightly and spoke softly.

"Don't worry, it will be over soon."

The sound was utterly calm.

"...Is that so?" Tohno Akiha closed her eyes, seemingly not intending to delve into the matter, and said, "Don't make noise for too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."

After leaving those words, Tohno Akiha turned around and walked towards her room.

Please be careful.

Kohaku left behind those words, then followed Tohno Akiha without another word, and left the place.

"... I will go to Master Zhigui's place and ask him to try not to go out."

Hisui said this expressionlessly, bowed to Fang Li, and then quietly left.

The three of them, master and servants, were not worried at all about the impending crisis.

Faced with this situation, Fang Li simply chuckled.

"Indeed, I don't know whether to call them naive or bold."

After saying that, Fang Li opened the front door and walked into the courtyard.

"————"

In the pitch-black courtyard, a chilling silence quietly spread.

"Da... da... da... da..."

Footsteps echoed slowly through the air, adding a sense of dread to the deathly silence.

Fang Li walked slowly through the dark courtyard, as if strolling through a forest, following the path step by step.

Until, malice began to descend.

"Roar..."

"Roar..."

That was the low growl of a wild beast.

In the surrounding dense forest, shadowy figures, like ghosts, silently infiltrated the Tohno family's territory.

From the direction of the iron gate.

From the surrounding walls.

From the sky.

From the earth.

Like a ghost transformed from a shadow.

It was like Wraith formed from darkness.

One by one, the ferocious beasts crept in silently.

They surrounded their prey tightly.

However, Fang Li ignored this scene completely.

He simply raised his eyelids and stared straight ahead.

There, a tall figure, with silent steps, began to approach.
