The off-shoulder short sleeves and ribbon revealed a large expanse of fair skin.
The black-and-white-edged dress perfectly hugged the petite figure, its slight frills softening the curves of budding youth.
Beneath the mysterious aura of the dress, a pair of slender legs clad in princess boots emerged, adorned with black thigh-high stockings that carried a tantalizing allure, like the whisper of a demon.
Paired with the owner’s delicate, adorable face under long pink hair and the demonic bat wings behind her, it was easy to instantly conjure images of the legendary vampire princess.
And indeed, that’s exactly who she was.
[Lament of Eternal Night – Lilina]
[Commander] Level 20
Health: 50,000/50,000
Attack: 426
Defense: 311
Talent: High Vampire [Advanced flight ability; a portion of damage dealt restores own health, with higher recovery at lower health; takes increased holy damage]
Eternal Night Domain [Increases abilities based on number of nearby enemies; reduces all stats of enemies within a certain range; increases all stats of allies within a certain range]

Its stats were strikingly similar to the Dark Bat King’s.
After all, it was created using the Dark Bat King as a template, brought forth through one of the Demon King’s powers: [Descent].
[Descent: Possess a monster of the Demon King’s faction, randomly enhancing its rank and level within a certain range based on its original attributes and abilities, altering its appearance; cooldown increases with combat power gained, minimum 15 natural days]
Once a target is chosen for Descent, even if it has already died, the rules are forcibly rewritten to restore full health.
This was why I chose to appear at the final moment of Little Black’s defeat.
Clearly, the destruction caused by Little Black was very satisfying.
Even more satisfying was the remarkable effect of the rank enhancement from Descent.
This made me increasingly eager to see what kind of number would appear on the Heart of Hellentis’s energy display after the Descent duration ended.
Probably more thrilling than 520, right?
Such delightful thoughts naturally put me in a great mood.
I didn’t mind giving everyone present a greeting before the battle began.
“Greetings, Lilina, seventeenth descendant of the Dracula family, answering my kin’s call. So…”
I casually lifted my skirt, appearing like a proper lady’s curtsy, but in truth, it was an elegant attempt at being cute.
“I hope all you big brothers and sisters will go easy on me.”
While I could somewhat predict the crowd’s shocked expressions, what I didn’t expect was…
A total silence?
The surroundings were so quiet you could hear the wind and leaves rustling.
In this awkward atmosphere, I could only sheepishly keep my head lowered.
Come on, give me *some* reaction!
I gritted my teeth, shouting inwardly.
Didn’t this make my earlier words and actions seem way too cringe?
The burning gazes around me, combined with my own embarrassment, painted my cheeks with a cute blush.
I couldn’t help but want to find cover and hide, my mind instinctively entertaining the thought.
Maybe I should just retreat…
Wait—no way! How could a grand Demon King be scared off like this? I have to do something.
But attacking outright… doesn’t that feel a bit too humiliating? Like a kid throwing a tantrum after being stared at.
As I pondered how to break this weird atmosphere, I suddenly noticed an odd gaze.
Glancing down instinctively, I saw the Rogue player who had tried to steal the boss from the guilds, now staring blankly at me.
His angle seemed to perfectly catch a glimpse under my skirt.
Even with his face hidden by a black cloak, I could guess what he was thinking—
“Blue and white stripes.”
Boom.
My cheeks exploded with heat.
Overwhelmed by shame, I reflexively attacked.
“Where are you looking, you pervert?!”
The power of [Eternal Night] manifested.
The shadow behind me formed a massive lance, thrusting toward him with my will.
Boom.
With a violent explosion, the Rogue’s frail health bar was unsurprisingly wiped out by the powerful attack.
But even so, it couldn’t erase the vivid image of those blue and white stripes from his eyes—or the impression now rooted in his heart—
“So cute!”
