Chapter 645 - 424 [Blood Protection]
Chapter 645 -424 [Blood Protection]
Burns Castle,
The heavy door closed behind him, and Lis was somewhat surprised to find himself in a completely dark room.
Not a trace of light, nothing but profound darkness enveloped the room.
Lis wondered, did Lord Burns always stay in such a place?
Unsure of the room’s layout, Lis didn’t dare to move around recklessly. What if he accidentally triggered one of Lord Burns’s taboos?
Lis summoned a little Magic Power, forming a Spell in front of him that he often used on adventures.
Zero-Circle Magic “Light Brightness Technique”!
“Hmm?”
Lis furrowed his brow, somewhat surprised.
He clearly felt the consumption of Magic Power, and the familiar Magic Model had been successfully constructed in front of him, but no light appeared.
Lis tried to increase the output of Magic Power, but it had no effect.
No, that’s not right!
It wasn’t that the “Light Brightness Technique” failed; the spell had indeed been triggered, but the light it produced was completely swallowed by the darkness in the room.
It was as if no light would ever appear in this place!
Is this the power of Lord Burns?
Lis felt a bit in awe; this must be the power naturally emanating from his lordship, not some environment specially arranged to jest with him, a Golden Mage.
But now, what should he do, just stay put?
He hadn’t seen Lord Burns make any movement either.
Lis hesitated, wondering whether he should go back and ask Marion about the situation.
At that moment, Lis suddenly recalled the “Extraordinary Domain·Darkness” he had just mastered.
As the power of “Extraordinary Domain·Darkness” spread within Lis and blended into the darkness around him, he seemed to become a statue fused with the darkness.
He closed his eyes slightly, and with the help of “Extraordinary Domain·Darkness,” he felt the strong and pure Dark Power surrounding his body.
In his perception, the darkness seemed alive, not merely an absence of color but something tangible, softly enveloping him.
Unresisting, Lis let the profound Dark Power slowly permeate his skin, silently saturating every corner of his body.
Like a mother’s embrace, hidden and peaceful;
Like an ancient melody, deep and melodious.
Lis’s body seemed to merge with the darkness, his heartbeat in sync with the pulses of the dark, his breathing in harmony with the flow of darkness.
He felt as though he had become a part of the darkness, with no sense of evil, chaos, or discomfort, more like the profound depth of the night, secretively, where all things fall peacefully asleep under the cover of darkness, enjoying the protection of the night.

[You gained 1155 Experience Points!]
…
—————–
Looking at the information on the system panel, Lis nodded slightly.
He hadn’t expected such a pleasant surprise; though the increase was small, it came regularly over time.
It was a windfall, so he couldn’t be too greedy.
However, Lis’s attention wasn’t on this right now.
As Lis merged with the surrounding Dark Power, his senses seemed to undergo a special change.
What he felt was no longer just complete darkness. As his vision adapted, the surrounding darkness began to slowly fade, like a thin black veil enveloping the room.
Lis saw it—in the center of the room, a magnificent coffin stood silently.
The surface of the coffin was inlaid with gemstones and gold and silver, shining with radiant light, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding darkness. Its lines were smooth and elegant, and every detail exuded sophistication and luxury, appearing more like a piece of art rather than just a container for the deceased.
The lid of the coffin was half-open, and a mysterious and sublime black aura constantly flowed in and out of the cracks, blending with the darkness of the room.
Lis could feel the noble aura emanating from inside the coffin, an aura cold and ancient, with a faint scent of pure blood lingering at his nostrils.
He was familiar with this aura—it was the power of Lord Burns.
Hmm… he hadn’t expected Lord Burns to reside inside this coffin.
Is this a custom of the Blood Clan?
That doesn’t seem right; he hadn’t noticed Angela exhibiting such behavior.
“Lord Burns!”
Lis bowed slightly and respectfully as he spoke.
The words fell, but there was no response; the exquisite coffin in front of him continued to exhale dark streams of air.
Seeing no response, Lis called out a few more times, but still received no answer.
This…
Lis was at a loss for words.
For some reason, seeing the situation before him, he suspected that Lord Burns might be asleep.
Lis felt a lightness on his shoulder as Angela flew up from his body.
In Lis’s eyes, the white little bat in the dark flew to the coffin in the room and started tapping on the lid with her tiny claws.
Thud thud thud!
Lis watched Angela’s actions with some surprise, noting her skilled movements as if she had done this many times before.
“Hmm~”
