Before the blood could even splash, it was evaporated by the chaotic energy.
Sophie’s body was completely pulverized in mid-air, turning into a perfectly uniform mist of blood.
【Log: You have died. Blood Essence reserve +1.】
【Log: You have died. All temporary statuses have been cleared.】
Miaoyue didn’t even bother looking at the result after her strike; she simply closed her eyes.
The massive dark red new moon trembled violently before shattering, turning into a boundless crimson moonlight that completely submerged the entire inverted sky.
Wherever the moonlight reached, all mana fluctuations were forcibly seized.
Forbidden Spell: Invincibility Art.
Domain: Eclipse Domain.
At the edge of the domain...
Within that newly condensed mist of blood, a fair-skinned body was rapidly reconstructing.
【Log: You have resurrected. Current template: Twelfth Generation Vampire. Resurrection no longer carries the [Weakness] status.】
Without the modification of the Weakness status, her true attributes weighed down on Sophie like a mountain.
Sophie opened her eyes.
But she could see nothing.
Her extremely low Perception caused her to lose her sight, hearing, smell, and touch entirely.
The world fell into a dead silence and total darkness.
She couldn’t even utter a single syllable; her pitifully low Physique and Strength reduced her to a conscious but immobile husk.
She couldn't move a muscle.
This was the price of walking around without being in a weakened state.
Had the Hero caught her according to the plan?
Had the Hero continued with the next steps of the plan?
Would her journey in this other world end here?
Little Yue was certainly following the career path she had laid out for her.
Back then, her Monarch's Sword could only manifest as a tiny blade.
Though, the tiny version was quite cute too.
Within the kaleidoscopic void, Sophie waited patiently.
Deep in her consciousness, only the translucent system panel remained, faithfully performing its duty.
She watched the system logs.
Miaoyue’s Phase 4: [Eclipse Domain].
This was the third-to-last phase she had co-developed with Little Yue back in the day.
Since the caster themselves is restricted from moving or casting spells while using the Invincibility Art, combining it with a domain effect was the optimal strategy.
Within this domain, the moonlight would not only destroy enemies but also indiscriminately erode all living beings—stripping away attributes, life force, mana, resistance, and even various skills.
But for Sophie, who possessed the Heart of Yin...
This erosion was exactly the nourishing rain she craved most.
【Log: You are under the illumination of the [Eclipse Domain]; you are accumulating Eclipse.】
The logs began to scroll upward with the speed of a waterfall.
【Log: Your Physique +10.】
【Log: Your Strength +10.】
【Log: Your Intelligence +10.】
【Log: Your Agility +10.】
【Log: Your Perception +10.】
Under that continuous infusion of moonlight, those despairingly negative values were slowly rising back up.
Sophie remained still, existing as a paralyzed shell.
Once she died, all debuffs disappeared.
Therefore, the Hero had to carry her and protect her body while she accumulated Eclipse.
However, Sophie believed in the Hero.
...
The airspace was filled with chaotic mana everywhere.
Crimson light-sludge filled every inch of space—viscous, cold, and aggressive.
Above the domain, a massive dark red new moon rotated slowly.
Miaoyue sat perched upon it, her hands resting naturally at her sides. She did not move, did not look, did not speak, and did not think—pure invincibility.
Surrounding the throne were twelve sets of Astral Funnels compressed from high-concentration starlight.
These funnels had no blind spots. They locked onto the white streak of light darting through the red glow, pouring out scorching starlight rays at a frequency of hundreds of rounds per second.
And in the chaotic lands below, Chengzhong Dino’s true form was scattered across thousands of pieces of floating debris. Those young girls wearing blue top hats moved their fingers in a blur.
Billions of pale threads wove into massive cutting nets from all directions, intersecting and contracting in mid-air, attempting to block all escape routes for that white streak of light.
Above was a barrage of stars capable of piercing mountains; below was a magical crushing net sufficient to grind steel into powder.
The figure in the sister’s habit darted back and forth through these narrow gaps.
Kaila did not launch any attacks.
The great sword of light capable of splitting mountains and rivers was not summoned, and the Light Rifle capable of precision sniping had dissolved into specks of light, vanishing into the void.
At this moment, the Hero poured all her energy into a single action: dodging.
The roars of impact blended into a continuous wall of sound in Kaila’s ears.
Those were the sonic booms triggered whenever the starlight rays grazed the edge of her Holy Light Shield.
She kicked off hard against a piece of giant rock debris that was being pulled by the threads.
A tenth of a second before the rock crumbled into powder, Kaila’s body twisted to the left at an impossible angle.
Three scorching beams of starlight grazed her cheek, instantly singeing several strands of her golden hair.
She didn't stop. The moment she began to fall, she exerted extreme force with her waist, performing a forced backflip in mid-air to thread precisely through a gap less than a meter wide between two closing thread-nets.
“Screeech—”
