Loschi swallowed hard, then suddenly shuddered as if he had remembered something. Trembling, he pointed at her.
"Y-You're the eldest daughter of the Charlotte Family!"
He found a newspaper, already covered in creases and more than a month old. It reported that the eldest daughter of the Charlotte Family had gone missing.
Grantis's expression dimmed. She had long since regained her memories.
When humans came of age, they underwent an exorcism ritual that could awaken mystical powers capable of resisting vampires.
As the eldest daughter of an exorcist family, Grantis had gained immense power after completing the ritual. But unable to endure the dull training, she had secretly slipped away, only to be captured by Baron Carlos.
"If you become strong enough, you can rise above convention," Su Li comforted her.
A child of an exorcist family becoming a vampire would absolutely mean immediate execution as a warning to others, even if Grantis had now regained herself and would not harm humans.
Deep within the shadow-filled Black Forest, Baron Carlos looked over the wreckage littering the ground, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
"Who was it? Who?!" The vampire baron let out a piercing roar that echoed through the skies above the Black Forest.
Next, Su Li did not leave immediately. Instead, he continued interfering with the card world.
Soon, a few days later, the Loschi Exorcism Agency received a new commission. Living people had repeatedly been disappearing from a village, and it was suspected that vampires were behind it.
"Go on," Su Li said with a smile.
Grantis felt somewhat downcast, because Su Li did not seem to be planning to go with them.
"Don't worry. I won't leave without saying goodbye," Su Li said.
The white-haired girl smiled and departed in relief.
Su Li secretly followed them and observed from the shadows. With Su Miaohan there, information could be shared directly, allowing him to trail far behind.
On one hand, he was testing Loschi's sincerity; on the other, he was letting Grantis truly become friends with him. After all, he would have to leave eventually.
The two arrived at the village. The atmosphere there was exceptionally strange, terrifyingly quiet.
The old village chief greeted them shakily, but showed none of the joy he should have. Dusk hung heavily over the village.
They settled down in the village and waited for the strange presence to appear. They had already conducted an investigation upon arrival, yet found no trace of anything.
That evening, the village sent them dinner.
After the previous setback, Loschi was especially cautious. He took out his exorcism tools and examined it.
His expression then turned ugly. The food tested positive for sleeping drugs. This was the second time—he had run into the same situation again!
At that moment, the village bared its fangs. The entire roof was ripped away as fierce winds howled.
"Someone forced the old village chief to issue the commission. These are human traitors." Loschi's face turned ashen as more than a dozen figures surrounded them from afar.
Human traitors were human betrayers who traded with vampires for evil power.
"What a pretty little girl. Let me have some fun with her first, then hand her over to the vampires," a scar-faced man said with a lewd grin.
Grantis's expression was cold. These human traitors were no different from vampires; they had no humanity left.
She spun her parasol, and blood seeped into the earth, instantly transforming into earthen spikes that impaled and killed the human traitors.
The blood flowed like a river, but even if they were human traitors, as long as they were still human, Grantis would not absorb their blood. That was her bottom line.
She stored the blood within her parasol, intending to use it against vampires later.
Although the commission had been issued under coercion, the old village chief led the villagers in thanking them and gave them a sum of money.
Grantis was somewhat happy about this, having confirmed the meaning of her existence.
Over the next few days, the agency continued receiving commissions, and with Grantis's help, Loschi completed them smoothly.
"I'm leaving," Su Li said in farewell. Grantis's condition had completely stabilized, and there was no problem with Loschi either. He sincerely wanted to be friends with Grantis.
Grantis was very upset, but she had long been mentally prepared. She grasped Su Li's hand and asked, "Su Li, you'll come back, right?"
"I will."
With that, Su Li's journey through the vampire world came to a complete end.
Back in the apartment, Su Li let out a long breath. This time, he had spent a full seven days inside Grantis's card world.
He checked his phone. The vampire world and the real world ran at a one-to-one ratio; a week had already passed.
He gently picked up Grantis's card. The card world was still evolving.
Ever since he left, the Loschi Exorcism Agency had gradually gained fame due to its extremely high efficiency in completing commissions.
They received more and more commissions, and the two of them always went out together.
During that time, they encountered vampires many times. All of them were killed by Grantis, who absorbed their blood.
Grantis also grew increasingly powerful. Together with her parasol, she was practically unstoppable.
Loschi was delighted. At this rate, his exorcism agency would soon be promoted to Level Two!
As the card world gradually evolved, Grantis became more and more powerful.
Until, during a new commission, Grantis encountered a vampire whose strength might have reached Bronze Rank 9.
After narrowly escaping death, the two of them finally managed to kill the vampire in a bloody battle, with Grantis relying on the strength of her bloodline.
After absorbing the vampire, Grantis underwent a tremendous transformation as well.
At this point, the evolution of the card world came to an end, and the image froze.
Grantis, dressed in a starry princess gown, appeared on the card's illustration. Holding a lovely little parasol, the corners of her lips curled slightly upward.
Su Li was very happy. The girl had become more confident.
At this moment, the card's information changed.
[Vampire Hunter—Grantis] Rank: Bronze Rank 9 Type: Character Skills: ① Human Heart: With her own will, Grantis breaks free from a vampire's primal desires and gains complete control over her own power. ② Blood Manipulation: Grantis controls the blood stored within her body to attack or defend. ③ Blood Conversion: Grantis absorbs blood to restore her vitality. ④ Blood Frenzy: Grantis sacrifices her own blood, greatly increasing all aspects of her abilities for a short period of time. ⑤ Blood Tide: Grantis unleashes a tide of blood, drowning all enemies! ⑥ Blood Surge: Grantis's blood reserves rapidly replenish. ⑦ Blood Explosion: Grantis controls blood and triggers a massive explosion! Overview: A vampire girl with a Human Heart—could she perhaps bring about immense change?
Su Li's breathing stalled slightly. Another leap of four ranks—this was even more outrageous than Su Xiaobai's, taking her straight to Bronze Rank 9!
Just one more rank, and she would reach the peak of Bronze.
This insane leap in rank had a great deal to do with Su Li's prolonged intervention. At the same time, Su Li had sacrificed a Bronze Rank 6 card, [Adele's Parasol].
This directly completed two enhancement selections!
Only then had this miraculous four-rank leap been achieved.
Human Heart? Complete control over her own power—this meant Grantis could bring out her strength to the fullest extent.
The skill Thrall Creation had disappeared. Perhaps Grantis despised it; after all, her own tragedy had been caused by Baron Carlos's Thrall Creation.
Blood Tide had directly become Grantis's own ability. She had raised her parasol countless times, comprehended its true essence, and taught herself!
Blood Surge improved Grantis's endurance.
Lastly, Blood Explosion had appeared. Su Li really wanted to test its power.
This enhancement was a perfect success!
