Ring

Sunrise and sunset followed. Arcueid, who had slept all day, opened her eyes, looked around, and saw the empty room, her face filled with displeasure. The door opened, and Bai Mo walked in.

"Woke up?"

"Didn't you promise to stay in the room and watch over me? Why did you go outside all by yourself?"

Arcueid seemed annoyed that she had just woken up but couldn't find him. Bai Mo sighed helplessly and said, "It doesn't matter where you are. If you hadn't been completely unconscious while you were asleep, I could have rushed over even if you were on the other side of the city."

Clearly, such an explanation was not enough to appease Arcueid, and seeing this, Bai Mo changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, why did you mistake me for Roa?"

"Because you carry his scent, albeit faintly, and when we dealt with him last time, he seemed to possess the same power as you, though compared to Bai Mo, it was like comparing dust to a mountain range."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo frowned, sensing his own body. Why was he tainted with Roa's scent?

It must have been back on Aeaea Island, where Roa also used soul Magecraft. Perhaps it was at that time that his soul was tainted a little.

Although it seems absurd, heaven knows the extent to which Roa had infiltrated that resurrection ritual. He was able to drive it and create a body for him, and although he was eventually destroyed, the degree of infiltration must have been considerable.

If we compare that ritual to a bathtub, then it's like Roa died in it and Bai Mo was soaked back in; no matter how much water we add, some odor will inevitably remain.

After a moment's thought, Bai Mo changed the subject. "Can you sense this power?"

Arcueid replied, "Do you think I'm stupid? Of course I can sense that."

Hearing Arcueid's words, Bai Mo frowned, then pulled her by the wrist and led her directly into the bustling city at night. The moment they landed smoothly, Arcueid asked with a face full of curiosity, "So fast, what is that, spatial Magecraft?"

"No, it's just that I'm mobile."

"You really do think I'm an idiot."

Ignoring Arcueid's discontent, Bai Mo clasped his hands together and slowly activated the Asura Way. The Asura Way is extremely sensitive to life force, and combined with Bai Mo's Final Realm, the life of the entire Misaki Earth was instantly displayed before his eyes.

To find those relatives, normally it would have been sufficient to use Magnetic Field Sensing induction. But this time it wouldn't work, because the entire magnetic field of the Misaki seemed to be in a strange environment.

When Bai Mo first arrived in this city, he sensed that something was wrong. After a trip to London, he confirmed that only Misaki on the entire planet was in this situation, which is why he eventually returned here.

In this environment, the original Magnetic Field Sensing effect is minimal. If other areas are like the tranquil seabed, and Magnetic Field Sensing is like a searchlight, then this Misaki someone deliberately stirring up the sediment, making the induction effect negligible.

It seems that the person behind this not only has some understanding of Magnetic Field Power, but also possesses extremely high skill in Magecraft.

But these things were meaningless to the Asura Way, and he soon found many beings whose life characteristics were completely different from those of ordinary people.

A gust of wind blew by, and Bai Mo vanished from his spot, only to reappear with a vampire whose limbs were tied in a tight knot. The unfortunate fellow didn't even have time to react before Bai Mo subdued him.

The instant this guy was struck down, in Asura Way's perception, the vital signs of the other vampires vanished instantly.

"This guy must be one of Roa's retinues, Arcueid. Take a closer look."

To stop this guy's movements, Arcueid, half-believing and half-doubting, reached out and peeled open the vampire's chest like a durian. Soon, her expression became quite interesting. She slowly took out a semi-transparent Magic Crest light ring, stretched out her finger and wiped away the Magecraft seal on it, and a faint Magnetic Field Power was transmitted out.

"What is this? Principle Blood Ring? No, this is too weak. It seems to be man-made, a replica of the Principle Blood Ring?"

Arcueid's relaxed expression vanished; she couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, "That Roa guy, he actually made something like this, and the Magecraft on it..."

Arcueid's expression was somewhat grim. To create such Magecraft circle specifically targeting her, one must be someone extremely familiar with her. Such people can be counted on one hand in the entire world, and most of them are already in their coffins.

"But this thing doesn't seem to be very useful. I also wish I had Bai Mo's power."

Arcueid was somewhat disappointed; the light ring before him seemed to only emit a power that affected the surrounding environment, and had no other function.

"Then make this wish next time you celebrate your birthday." After losing the Magic Crest of the light ring, the vampire's body twisted in agony, and with a bang, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"Will I die if it's removed? I was originally thinking of trying to see if I could restore it to human form."

Upon hearing this, Arcueid put down the light ring in her hand and said, "That's impossible. Vampires are no longer just about physical transformation. Speaking of which, did Roa equip every member of his clan with one of these?"

Bai Mo shook his head and said, "It's not just those clansmen; most people in this city have this thing inside them. Right now, among the crowds you see outside, at least seven out of ten people have one of these things inside them."

Upon hearing this, even Arcueid, with her thick skin, sensed something was terribly wrong. At the same time, she became even more certain of one thing: her sister, the leader of the Dead Apostle, was probably here as well; the reincarnated Roa couldn't possibly have made such a large-scale arrangement.

"And it's not just those people, even Ciel, whom we met before, has issues. She also gives me a sense of Magnetic Field Power, and it's even stronger."

Upon hearing this, Arcueid's face showed worry. Had she finally realized the seriousness of the situation?

"No way, does that mean I can't beat her now? This is terrible."

What deep-seated hatred exists between you two?

Just as Bai Mo was speechless, he suddenly took a step forward, and the energy of the Ksitigarbha Blade surged from beneath Bai Mo feet, rushing directly towards Arcueid, like a crane spreading its wings to protect her.

A soft, rustling sound came from within the blade's aura, as invisible blades, shattered into pieces, emerged from it.

Clap clap clap, the sound of applause came from the air, and a figure appeared at the alley entrance. It was a black-haired princess, with a huge white beast crouching behind her, like her throne, looking at Arcueid with a smile.

"My dear sister, when did you find your familiar? You seem quite remarkable. I thought you utterly despised humans and looked down upon such insignificant creatures."
