A shadow rift suddenly appeared behind Moonshadow Breath.
The instant the rift appeared, [Parasitic Bloodvine] shot out like lightning and coiled around her.
Moonshadow Breath reacted swiftly. The moment she sensed the unusual presence, blood energy erupted from her entire body.
The immense surge of blood energy blasted apart the blood pool in the plaza.
But a layer of crimson energy enveloped [Parasitic Bloodvine].
It was the new trait it had just acquired: [Blood Energy Immunity].
Ignoring the blast of blood energy, it instantly wrapped Moonshadow Breath from head to toe.
The bloodvine's thorns had a magic-breaking effect. Combined with [Blood Energy Immunity], they pierced Moonshadow Breath's blood energy defenses and sank into her body.
This trait of [Parasitic Bloodvine] practically made it the Blood Clan's natural enemy.
There was simply no way to fight back or resist.
[Parasitic Bloodvine] began sucking Moonshadow Breath's blood.
"Aah—!"
For vampires, blood was unquestionably the most precious resource in their bodies, an essential medium for their blood energy.
As [Parasitic Bloodvine] voraciously drained her blood, Moonshadow Breath felt as though her bones were being gouged out and her marrow sucked dry.
The pain reached into the depths of her soul.
But [Parasitic Bloodvine] paid no heed to any of that.
It faithfully carried out the order Yu Yuan had given it.
—Weaken the target's vitality and combat strength as much as possible, but keep the target alive.
And for [Parasitic Bloodvine], the simplest way to achieve that was, naturally, to devour her.
Roots along the vine transformed into tentacles, binding Moonshadow Breath tightly.
They absorbed the blood energy from her body at full strength while the thorns drained her blood, attacking on two fronts at once.
Pop, pop, pop—
As the spore sacs burst, [Parasitic Spores] turned into a haze in the air
