Fini’s little face turned pale.
She suddenly endured the pain, tightened her grip on the Moon Blade, suppressed the fear in her heart, and focused her attention on the next whip.
By this point, Grey’s lackeys had already broken into victorious smiles.
Fini’s defeat was only a matter of time.
Besides, they had personally witnessed the power of Grey’s Blood Core weapon.
Lorevil’s Blood Blade simply couldn’t block it, and she could only keep draining large amounts of Blood Energy and stamina.
But at that moment, something happened that shocked all the Vampires.
“Fini, get behind me.”
Lorevil suddenly shouted to Fini.
Then, Blood Energy surged wildly from her body, and she fired off five Blood Blades at once, sending them flying toward them in a frenzy.
Their speed left Grey and the other Vampires stunned.
They all scrambled back to dodge, raising their weapons to defend themselves.
Seizing that opening as she forced them back, Lorevil’s Blood Flash erupted beneath her feet, carrying Fini as she retreated.
Fini, pale-faced, also hid behind Lorevil at that moment.
“Boom——”
Just as Grey and the others shattered every Blood Blade one by one, and before their spent strength could recover, Lorevil’s eyes glimmered slightly.
Now!
Her palm clenched hard!
“Reform!”
The shattered fragments of the Blood Blades suddenly recombined, madly gathering together, transforming into dark-red Blood Lines that wove and entwined!
In an instant, they formed a fine Blood Net, dropping straight down over Grey’s head.
The Blood Net fell from above.
Grey’s Blood Core Heavy Sword slashed upward with all his might, but only managed to sever a few Blood Lines.
Helplessly, he could only watch as the net bound him.
“Damn it!”
Grey’s burly body was flung several meters away by the Blood Net.
This unexpected turn shocked Simon and the other Vampires.
They never imagined Lorevil’s Secret Art would connect so flawlessly—even shattered Blood Blades could be reused.
This time, the way they looked at Lorevil had completely changed.
If even Grey was no match for Lorevil, then weren’t they as good as dead?!
Having dealt with the strongest, Grey, Lorevil silently appeared behind Simon.
Blood Energy surged in her hand, forming a spike aimed at his lower back.
“Thud!“
Simon let out a miserable cry and stumbled to the ground.
Feeling this terrifying, devilish scene, the Vampire gripping the Blood Whip turned pale with fear.
He spun around to flee, only to have his ankle snagged by Lorevil’s Blood Line and collapse to his knees.
The simple-minded Vampire who had been watching the whole time realized he was the only one still standing.
He was so scared he stood frozen, as if turned into a statue.
The Mohawk Bloodkin woke up, looked around in a daze, and found himself trembling uncontrollably.
What had just happened?
In no time at all, these five second-tier Vampires had all been subdued—either tied up or sprawled on the ground, unable to move.
“Fini, lend me your Moon Blade for a moment.”
Lorevil caught her breath slightly, the Blood Energy in her body mildly disturbed.
Fini tossed the Moon Blade in an arc through the air, and it landed in Lorevil’s palm, which she gripped steadily.
Holding the Moon Blade, Lorevil walked over to Grey, who was wrapped in the Blood Net.
Her wine-red eyes were cold to the extreme.
“Lorevil, please—since we’re all students of Holy Blood Academy, just spare our lives. We won’t dare do it again.”
Grey, bound tight by the Blood Net, watched the Moon Blade in Lorevil’s hand and his pupils shrank slightly.
She vaguely heard these Vampires mention Laide’an.
He thought Lorevil was going to kill him—after all, in the private disputes at Holy Blood Academy, it wasn’t rare for a Vampire to accidentally die.
Fear instantly flooded his heart.
Especially when he caught the faint killing intent in Lorevil’s eyes, his soul nearly fled in terror.
“Don’t kill me!”
Just as Lorevil raised the Moon Blade, Grey couldn’t help but shout.
“It was Laide’an! We… he’s the one who told us to teach you a lesson!”
“Swoosh——”
The sound of air being cut made Grey squeeze his eyes shut, cold sweat pouring down.
Yet the pain he expected never came.
Lorevil turned her wrist, and the Moon Blade sank into the floor right beside Grey with a thud, cutting through it as easily as slicing melon or tofu.
A fine crack split the stone tile.
Grey slowly opened his eyes and stared at the Moon Blade inches away.
His back was soaked with cold sweat, and his heart was pounding wildly.
If Grey hadn’t had strong nerves, he would have broken down by now.
The snow-haired girl looked down at Grey from above and sneered coldly:
“If you’d just said that from the start, I wouldn’t have had to do this myself.”
“And tell Laide’an this for me: if he’s got guts, let him come himself. Sending a few lackeys to be cannon fodder only makes him look pathetic.”
With that, Lorevil flicked the Blood Net, and Grey slammed hard against the wall before rolling to the ground, hissing in pain through gritted teeth.
The anger in Lorevil’s heart had already been spent during that earlier outburst.
Having gotten the information she wanted, she looked at the four second-tier Vampires sprawled on the ground groaning, and Grey tied up like a dumpling.
Then she suddenly remembered how they’d mocked Fini earlier, and a mischievous idea came to her.
“Blood Line——”
Lorevil used the Blood Line to coil around Grey, then grabbed the collars of the other four Vampires and walked straight toward the trash bins.
Those bins were piled full of discarded Blood Beast bones and foul-smelling garbage.
Like tossing trash, she shoved them headfirst into three neighboring bins, leaving only a few legs kicking wildly in the air.
“Ugh, let me out! This place stinks! Lorevil, you’ve gotta show some mercy.”
Grey’s voice came from inside the bin, laced with anger and grievance, his breathing labored.
“Stay in there and reflect. The Blood Net will dissolve on its own. Next time you dare cause trouble, it won’t be as easy as getting thrown in a trash bin.”
Lorevil clapped her hands and called out to the bin.
With that, she took Fini’s little hand and walked toward the mouth of the alley.
Just as they stepped out, a chorus of complaints rose from the trash bins behind them.
“Damn it, what’s in this crappy bin? It’s stinging my head.”
“That Lorevil is way too ruthless! She threw all of us in the trash!”
“Quit whining. When’s this Blood Net gonna disappear? I’m about to suffocate from this stench. I’m never eating at this restaurant again.”
“Who knows? That Blood Net looked so ordinary, how’d it tie up the boss just like that…”
“Me too.”
“Shut up! Now’s not the time for that—hurry up and figure out how to get out.”
The bin shook a few times, followed by an absurd series of thump-thump collision sounds.
The last light of sunset cut through the alley and spilled onto the girl who had just walked out.
“Lorevil, tossing them into the trash bin was way too harsh, wasn’t it?”
Fini couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
The humiliation she’d felt earlier had vanished like smoke.
“You don’t need to be polite with people like that. Letting them sit in the trash is still too good for them. At least it’s easier than beating them senseless.”
Lorevil raised an eyebrow with a light smile.
“But… will Laide’an come after us because of this?”
Fini said worriedly.
“Relax, those guys won’t dare. And even if they do, we’re not afraid. But just to be safe, we still need to be careful.”
Lorevil thought for a moment, then reassured her.
“Your top priority right now is the Third-Tier Awakening. Put everything else aside for now, got it?”
Fini nodded seriously.
If she succeeded in her Third-Tier Awakening, she’d earn a place among the Family’s core members.
And the next time she ran into a situation like this, she’d be able to handle it with ease.
