The Chaos Wasteland.
“Miss Hero, would you be my mount?”
“?”
“Miss Hero, could you please agree?”
“?”
“Please, this is really important to me.”
“‘Mount’... that is a term used only for non-human creatures,” Kaila corrected as she hurtled toward the battlefield like a shooting star.
At this moment, Sophie’s legs were tightly wrapped around the Hero’s slender waist, her arms looped around her neck, and her chin rested naturally on Kaila’s shoulder.
Their long silvery-white hair tangled together in the wake of the wind magic surrounding them.
Faced with Sophie’s absurd request, Kaila merely adjusted her posture slightly so that Sophie, who was clinging to her, could lie a bit more comfortably.
Kaila was joyful that Sophie was willing to support her ideas, and joyful that Sophie was willing to go with her to slay the Witch.
But...
Who could have guessed that the high-spirited, world-dominating Sophie would only last for half a minute before becoming nonsensical again?
Kaila expressed her resistance.
“I am already... carrying you on my back. What more do you want, Sophie?”
“At least... pick a better time for your strange talk.”
“Please! This is my final wish before I die. If Miss Hero agrees, then even if I die on this trip, it’ll be worth the price of admission!” Sophie said earnestly.
Kaila: “That’s a lie... Sigh.”
Her meager vocabulary was simply unable to respond to Sophie’s soaring rhetoric.
In such a critical moment, she was still saying such strange things.
【Log: Entered Mount Mode. Until dismounted, the mount will take damage in place of the player’s Health.】
【Log: Remaining Mount Time: ∞】
“Hell yeah!” Sophie was overjoyed.
After upgrading her vampire template to the Twelfth Generation, Sophie officially bid farewell to the weakness effect that had reduced all her attributes to 1.
This meant that as long as Sophie died once to refresh the current weakness on her body, she would once again reign in the realm of -200 attributes.
At that point, forget stopping a war—any random goblin could drag her back to start a farm.
So, moving forward, Sophie intended to rely on her skills to never die even once...
Actually, Sophie didn't have that kind of courage.
She couldn't die.
The strongest mount in history riding the strongest of the modern era—
Will they survive?
The sky ahead had been completely dyed in a desperate chaos.
Above, Miaoyue sat atop a massive, dark-red new moon that seemed ready to crush the horizon.
Her hands moved casually through the void, needing no incantations at all.
Tens of thousands of dark-red meteorites, starlight spears, and various bizarrely shaped mana blades poured down from around the moon like a torrential rain, completely covering every inch of the ground below.
The doctrine of superior firepower.
Below, the once-flat wasteland had been transformed into a terrifying forest of puppet strings.
Tens of thousands of Chengzhong Dinos were distributed across rocks in mid-air, broken trees, and even floating fragments of vampire mechs. Each of them was controlling millions of pale mana threads.
These threads wove into a net, shredding and reflecting the starlight weapons Miaoyue threw down, while simultaneously turning into countless hidden and sharp needles attempting to break through the defense network around the moon.
At the same time, countless ragdolls in the shapes of animals, flowers, trees, and Counts launched fearless charges. They were shattered time and again, only to be sewn back together.
The doctrine of human wave tactics.
“Eleven o’clock direction, charge upward!”
The wind howled in her ears as Sophie, lying on Kaila's back, shouted her instructions.
Kaila did not hesitate for a second. The light rifle in her hand instantly switched to a light sword, her figure making an incredible mid-air turn as her blade accurately struck a white star coming head-on from above.
With a booming explosion, Sophie heard Kaila let out a muffled groan.
Evidently, taking double damage had caught her a bit off guard.
Sophie watched her health bar at the top of her vision skip from 100% to 99.99%, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
Oh no, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die.
She immediately bared her lengthened fangs and bit down on Kaila’s fair shoulder.
“Sophie, you...” Kaila felt a faint ache in her shoulder and knew Sophie was acting up again.
But the warm sensation that followed sent a jolt through her body.
“Mmph, mmph-mmph (Keep going, charge up)!” Sophie said.
If the damage from her fangs breaking hadn't also been transferred to the Hero, she really wouldn't have been able to pierce Kaila's defense.
The sensation in her mouth was unexpectedly tender.
It even carried a faint scent of soap.
But in the next second, as her fangs pierced deeper, the scent of a high-tier transcendent's boiling hot blood rushed straight to Sophie’s head.
“Urgh...”
Due to the forced activation of 【Bloodthirsty Craving (Reversed)】, Sophie—who was physiologically repulsed by blood—almost vomited a mouthful of old blood onto Kaila’s back. However, she forced that blood into her fangs and continued to activate her new skill.
【You have activated the vampire skill: Blood Suck (Reversed)】
【Blood Suck (Reversed) lv1: You can now actively provide blood to living creatures. While transfusing, the target creature gains a maximum percentage of Health per second, and you lose a maximum percentage of Health. Transfusing a certain amount of blood will condense Blood Essence.】
“Her eyes were red as she bit hard into his shoulder; what was warm was not just blood, but her stubbornness and deep affection that had nowhere else to go for centuries, poured out in this humble way...”
【Log: You are losing a percentage of your maximum Health, -1 -1 -1 -1 -1】
【Log: You are in the [Holy Light Irradiation] state, recovering 1,000,000 Health per second.】
Sophie told herself that she and the Hero were a match made in heaven.
The perpetual motion machine had started.
