Chapter 803: The Final Chapter of Cardinal Lanchi's Blood Moon Calamity (Part 2)
"......!"
Duke Lashiel's pupils suddenly contracted on the ground, and his struggles ceased for a moment.
He couldn't quite grasp the situation, but he felt a sense of unease in his heart.
This fake Lanculos had similar methods to the real Lanculos, yet there were also some fatal differences.
If his specialty wasn't the embedding of commandments and eternal damnation.
Then, were there other sealing techniques? Ones used to seal away the Fourth Progenitor, Duke Eduardo, in this timeline?
Duke Lashiel had reached the end of his road.
His blood mist was shattered, and he no longer had the strength to resist. He was briefly frozen in place, reduced to the ground.
Lanchi walked over slowly.
He took out a syringe with the Trinity Holy Radiance and the forbidden insignia of the Necallis Research Institute from his pocket.
Lanchi opened the syringe, pushed the plunger, and watched the droplet that formed at the needle's tip.
"Guess what kind of research results I left behind at the secret research institute on Necallis Island with Lady Mayokyo all those years ago?"
He asked Duke Lashiel, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Lady Mayokyo? That dead female demon?"
Duke Lashiel's pupils contracted, and a hint of fear flashed across his face.
He wanted to back away, to run, but his body was pinned to the spot by ice, unable to move.
"She wasn't an ordinary demon, but a true demon prodigy. If only she had lived a little longer, your vampire modification toxins would be nothing."
Lanchi inserted the needle into Duke Lashiel's neck, and Lashiel felt a chill at his nape.
"What, what is this?!"
When Lashiel heard the mention of "vampire modification toxins," his heart felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.
Countless images flashed through Duke Lashiel's trembling pupils.
Slowly, Duke Lashiel began to understand.
He understood why Lanculos had caused such a ruckus in the Holy Spirit Lant Religion Country.
He understood why Saint Sigrid, second only to him, had betrayed and stabbed him in the back.
He understood why he had indiscriminately slaughtered the provinces of the Honing Empire before coming here, trying to act insane.
All of it, all of it, had only one answer: He, Duke Lashiel, had been played by Lanculos from the very beginning.
Lanculos had known everything all along!
"This is similar to what you injected into the people of Honing, but this one is more high-end, capable of causing a short-term mutation in vampires, forcing them to undergo demonization."
Lanchi explained the effects of the serum in his hand to Lashiel.
Duke Lashiel paused briefly, absorbing this information.
Turn him into a mutated familiar?
And then... further modify him using the demons' internal methods?
At this moment, he seemed to understand the connection between Pranay's question and Lanchi's words.
When the Fourth Progenitor, Duke Eduardo, had disappeared, the Lant Spirit Empire had once revealed an unprecedented bomb that had shocked them all.
Fortunately, it was later proven to be a hoax by the Lant Spirit Empire.
But could such a bomb really be created?
And the key material for it was a vampire progenitor?
"You can't do this to me! I am the third progenitor of the vampire race; you can't do this to me!!!"
Duke Lashiel, trapped within the ice crystals, had bloodshot eyes, bulging veins, and was raging furiously, doing his utmost to resist, with foam dripping from the corners of his mouth.
No matter how much Duke Lashiel howled, he couldn't change the predetermined outcome.
The mere thought of becoming fuel and being blown up to destroy large swathes of demons filled Lashiel with a sense of frustration and humiliation!
"Join the glorious evolution. The endpoint of the vampire evolution route is the Bomb Man," Lanchi said as he injected the syringe into Lashiel's neck.
"No, quickly draw out this dirty thing from my body..." Lashiel's voice became increasingly slurred, almost unintelligible.
He also briefly started to demonize, his skin cracking as if it would be torn to shreds, emitting an ominous deep purple light, until Lashiel's fingertips gradually turned into sharp claws, and his ears began to elongate.
As the curse's aura spread, Lashiel's hair became disheveled.
Lanchi tossed aside the syringe and took out a small mirror from his pocket, holding it up to Lashiel so he could see his own appearance, causing Lashiel's voice to falter.
Duke Lashiel couldn't believe how hideous he had become.
"I thought you'd quite like bio-modification," Lanchi said casually as he skillfully unraveled the contract scroll specially made by Lady Mayokyo from the Necallis Research Institute back then, rendering Lashiel's contract powerless.
Lashiel's scarlet eyes gradually became hollow and then went out completely.
"Every time, it's up to you to finish it off with a bang."
Lanchi looked at the last semi-transparent card in his hand. The entire card seemed ethereal, between a physical and non-physical state. The patterns on the card flowed like a heartbeat, emitting an unstable glow, and it trembled, out of sync with the frequency of this world.
"End the Blood Moon Calamity. Wolf."
Until Lanchi let it go.
The magic card grew brighter and brighter, unlike an ordinary magic card, more like intertwining spirals, emitting a mysterious radiance.
The liberated magic card, broken into spirals, separated, and the light around the spirals was bent, attracted, and torn apart until it stabilized and formed, with a rift cut into the spiral. Finally, its true form was revealed—a giant wolf.
Crimson runes, like temporal rifts, floated and cycled on its pitch-black and profound body.
In the deep abyss of Blood Moon City, it blossomed with world-opening red runes, each one shimmering and breathing, like rifts to another dimension.
When the wolf's giant claws patted down, Duke Lashiel was gradually sealed into a blood-red, distorted magic card, constantly buzzing with electric cocoons.
Lanchi casually tossed away the sealed Third Progenitor. Duke Lashiel was then swallowed in one bite by the giant wolf.
"Master, please take the wolf up to the ground," Lanchi said in his mind as he looked at the Great Lover Poet in her pure white form.
As a soul contractor who could also help him trigger the Nuclear Fusion Wolf, she would be the one to detonate it, and the wolf would also get an additional boost from the Primordial Stone Tablet Fire.
"Okay," Talia replied, her flushed face now much calmer.
She used her telekinetic powers to levitate the Nuclear Fusion Wolf and fly towards the sky above Blood Moon City.
"Oh right, bring Cat Boss along too."
Lanchi bent down and pulled out the little black cat from the shadows, tossing it towards Talia in mid-air.
Just in case Talia couldn't make it back to Blood Moon City, Cat Boss could use his immunity field to support her and ensure her safe return.
"Thank you, Lanchi," Talia said as she skillfully caught the little black cat, putting it on her head and saluting Lanchi with her hand to express her gratitude.
Even though she and the Great Lover Poet were immortal, they could still feel pain.
It seemed that Lanchi had remembered her request.
Perhaps it was also because Lanchi didn't dare to hurt her or let her die from the very beginning.
"So, you can act like a girl after all," Lanchi said with a smile, waving at the Great Lover Poet in her pure white form.
Although he might have found Talia's way of speaking a bit sickening on any other day, today's Talia was surprisingly girlish.
...
After a long while.
At the moment Duke Lashiel disappeared, the entire Blood Moon City felt an unprecedented tremor.
The ground of St. Patrick in Blood Moon City suddenly began to shake violently, as if a giant hand was shaking the entire city.
The underground Blood Moon City could not escape this catastrophe.
A deafening rumble echoed like thunder.
The sound carried a heart-pounding ferocity and rage.
The earth roared and howled as if it would devour everything.
In the Extermination Palace of Blood Moon City, Marquis Sommerset and the two Great Demon bureaucrats stumbled and nearly fell.
They had to stop fighting and struggle to maintain their balance.
The pillars in the arena shook, and debris fell from the ceiling, crashing to the ground with an ear-piercing sound.
"What, what's going on?" Marquis Sommerset shouted in fear, his voice sounding weak amidst the violent tremors.
"Has Lashiel's aura disappeared?"
Mercury Lord Mishio and Skeletal Lord Damon Gat exchanged glances, their faces filled with surprise.
They didn't know what was happening either, but they guessed they had won, so they barely managed to steady themselves and dodged the falling debris.
In the east of Blood Moon City, in the Freezing Palace.
The seventh progenitor, Heretiel, and the Profane Lord, Merogases, also experienced the same situation.
The ice beneath their feet began to crack, and the fissures spread like a spider web.
The entire palace shook, and icicles fell from the walls and ceiling, turning into sharp ice blades that flew in all directions.
Heretiel, the seventh progenitor, injured all over, screamed as she narrowly avoided being sliced by an ice blade.
The Profane Lord, Merogases, remained calm and used her scorpion tail to anchor herself to the ground, supporting her body.
With her hands clasped together, Antanas proudly puffed out her chest and looked towards the Blood King's Palace.
The situation at the Soul Palace was even worse.
The altar wobbled in the earthquake, and countless spirits emerged from the cracks in the walls and the ground, wailing in despair.
Seemingly startled by the sudden turn of events, they could only hover anxiously within the hall.
The Ninth Progenitor, Marquis Bernhard, turned pale, his lips quivering as if he wanted to say something but couldn't utter a sound.
His newly assembled body was once again torn to pieces by the relentless sword strikes of the Mighty Lord, like a dragon pouncing on its prey.
...
In Blood King's Palace Square, Lanchi stood quietly, gazing at the four Great Demons before him.
He did not retract his Glorious Virtue.
In this spacious terrain, it wasn't as eye-catching, but it did make the Blood Moon City Square feel much warmer.
"So, this is the Baby Bus..."
The Ice and Snow Witch frowned and muttered to herself.
At first, she thought Antanas was joking when she said Lanchi was at a disadvantage.
Previously, when she had seen Lanchi's underwhelming performance in Ikelite, alongside Hyberlian's seventh-tier shadow world fragment, she had witnessed him start off poorly, fall behind, and ultimately lose despite his desperate efforts and ill-advised moves.
No wonder he managed to win over Princess Talia; he truly was a one-in-a-million leader.
"Thank you for your help, Teacher Almis," Lanchi said gratefully to the Ice and Snow Witch.
While the other three Great Demons were already his close friends, this was the first time he had met the Ice and Snow Witch, Almis, in the Demon King's City.
To Lanchi, she was Hyberlian's teacher, and thus an elder to him.
The generational hierarchy among the demon tribes was indeed complicated. Perhaps he and Antanas were of the same generation, but Antanas and the Ice and Snow Witch were also of the same generation, yet the Ice and Snow Witch was a generation above him.
"You're welcome. Just call me Almis; your friends and I are of the same generation."
The Ice and Snow Witch initially didn't believe Antanas' gossip about Lanchi and Talia, but now she was starting to believe it.
Suddenly, she realized another issue.
If she and Lanchi were of the same generation, that would mean she was a generation above Hyberlian.
"Of course, if you want to consider me Hyberlian's elder, you can call me Miss Almis. I don't mind."
The Ice and Snow Witch added, willing to move up a generation for Hyberlian's sake.
The Ice and Snow Witch wasn't usually one to indulge in gossip, but the intense competition at the Cat Boss Restaurant had piqued her curiosity.
"Miss Almis, I truly appreciate your care for Hyberlian."
Lanchi continued to address the Ice and Snow Witch with respect.
As they chatted, Antanas started wailing on her own.
"It's over! I got assist points for defeating a ninth-tier opponent. What will I do next time?"
Antanas cried, clutching her head.
She was devastated.
"Look on the bright side; you got assist points for defeating a powerful enemy. Who knows, there might even be an epic reward," Shinola said helplessly, patting Antanas' shoulder to comfort her.
This was much better than relying on welfare.
"I guess so..."
Antanas thought about it and smiled again.
"But I still don't understand who the nine challengers are supposed to be."
Antanas counted with her fingers.
There were the four of them from the Demon King's City, plus Hyberlian, Lanchi, and Cat Boss, making seven challengers.
Who were the remaining two? Pranay remained silent, pretending to have already returned to the real world.
"..."
Lanchi thought about it and shook his head.
Probably, everyone else had the same question.
The remaining two were Talia and Sigrid.
However, from Talia and Sigrid's perspective, there were also eight challengers because they considered each other to be the natives of the shadow world, Caliyera and Sigray.
"Lanchi, I have a huge surprise for you!"
Antanas happily ran to Lanchi, her hands clasped in front of her chest.
Now that the main task was completed, it was time for some small talk.
"What kind of surprise could there be?"
Lanchi asked Antanas curiously.
Antanas always had this energetic and lively demeanor.
Usually, when she exaggerated things, they turned out to be minor issues, and she tended to blow small matters out of proportion.
"Us four and Hyber..."
Before Antanas could finish her sentence, the four Great Demons in Blood King's Palace Square vanished along with the shadow world.
Lanchi noticed that the countdown for the shadow world had reached zero.
"Oh well, looks like I won't get to meet the Master."
He stood there, shaking his head.
Challengers who entered through different entrances would return to their respective entrances at the end.
He, Talia, and Cat Boss would return to the same temporary settlement space, while Antanas and Hyberlian, who had entered through another Void Gate, would end up in a different settlement space.
The sun that had hung high above the Blood King's Palace finally fulfilled its purpose.
Its radiance began to fade, slowly closing its eyes like a setting sun, making way for countless stars that shone like newborn infants opening their eyes for the first time in the night sky.
Their twinkling lights of hope illuminated the land that had long been shrouded in darkness, signaling—
The arrival of a brand-new era filled with infinite possibilities.
As mist and haze enveloped the square, the buildings of Blood Moon City seemed to rise like bubbles.
A hint of dawn's gentle light quietly seeped through the dissipating walls, bathing the central plaza in a soft glow.
Thus far, the Blood Moon Calamity series of shadow worlds had reached their conclusion.
