Chapter 598: Chapter 596 Infiltration

[Fetal Heart Church (Administrative Building)]

A main staircase connects each floor,

As Desline stepped onto the staircase, star particles appeared beneath her feet, ascending the stairs ahead of her and reconstructing the [Principal’s Office] located on the top floor.

During her absence from the school, the Principal’s Office had never been exposed.

"Come in, my office has never allowed so many people to enter at the same time."

Pushing aside the starry curtain that fell at the end of the stairs and opening the office door made of deep space meteorite, an office emitting a strong starry aura presented itself, where even the interior gravity seemed freely adjustable.

When Desline took over the campus, she began her special project,

designing the Principal’s Office as the "campus center." Every important location within the campus had a "Star Node," allowing her to reach any spot instantly in case of any anomalies.

Since Desline held absolute control over the campus, this knowledge was known only to her.

Once everyone entered the Principal’s Office and the door was closed,

Desline gently tapped the floor with her toes, seemingly triggering a switch that caused the office’s walls and floor to fade slowly, while gravity also gradually fell to zero,

making everyone there feel as if they were in the midst of a starry sky.

Lorrian, as the spokesperson of the moon, instantly adapted to this floating sensation and even displayed a thoroughly enjoyable expression.

Desline’s gaze shifted toward the miniature planet suspended in the center of the office, slowly approaching it as if she were looking at her own child.

As she touched the planet’s surface with a fingertip... Buzz!

「Star Map Expansion」

With lines of starlight, both faint and bright, connecting, various bright star points unfolded in the Principal’s Office, corresponding to different areas within the campus.

Desline merely needed to touch them to teleport directly there.

However, before teleporting, she still looked back at the people behind her,

"Prepare for battle... According to what I perceive right now, there are at least two Crimson Nobles personally guarding the area holding Zede.

But these blood people are truly incompetent, having to rely on the prisons we previously set up to confine Zede.

If they were to transfer Zede to another area of Zion, we would need much more time to search. Let’s go."

Desline touched one of the Star Nodes,

Buzz! The cosmos itself, represented by the office, rapidly collapsed toward that Node, dismantling the bodies of the four-person squad into Star Particles and sucking them in.

Interestingly, being in particle form did not affect their integrity; even their thoughts remained complete.

The next moment, these particles slowly appeared on the lowest floor of the Velsman Teaching Building, briefly dispersing and concealing themselves within the space to facilitate observation of the specific circumstances here.

This was a place even William had never been to, deeper than Zede’s underground office, and was a special prison created by Zede during an earlier outburst at the campus.

Apart from Desline,

The first Doctor, the Archbishop, and Asimov, who had just returned, all participated in the prison’s design,

especially with Asimov’s involvement, which made the prison’s design closely resemble that of a monastery, even using essentially the same materials.

The final form of the prison was as follows:

The railings were spiral-shaped, made of ancient metals, with secret scripts engraved between the spirals,

whether vertical or parallel,

Each spiral railing seemed to have its own life, transforming into a spear that would pierce the convicts’ bodies if any disturbance was detected inside.

However, this prison had been out of use for the past ten years,

At that time, Desline personally vouched for Zede, allowing him to pass several organizational psychological assessments smoothly, and from that point, he was moved to a more liberal underground office and even began to teach "Pathology."

But now, the prison was being utilized again.

Zede’s body was pierced by hundreds of spiral railings, interlocking not only between the vertebrae but also several running directly through the face, entering the eye areas from which vision had been stripped, with three more stuck in his mouth.

Pierced in this state, Zede was also soaked in a huge Blood Tank,

All this blood came from the central manor, and was the purest, highest-grade blood available in New Zion.

The blood seeped into Zede’s physical skin through the spiral railing, corroded and assimilated his whole body, and conducted a gene-level "Blood Transformation".

Moreover, six Blood Priests who had achieved Open Source Level and were adept at blood manipulation had their hands pressed against the walls of the blood tank, using Blood Manipulation Skill to accelerate the transformation process.

Besides, two earls remained here.

’Leech Lady’ Olinka Nichols was the countess who had once doubted William’s identity, and she habitually used a fan to cover her ’mouth and nose,’ even when sleeping.

Because her mouth and nose were fused together, the interior of her oral cavity was filled with numerous leech structures, which affected her external appearance.

Rumors said that Olinka came from the humblest origins among the earls. She was branded as a ’prostitute’ at a young age, but due to her unique oral skills, her reputation quickly spread within the manor, and she gradually came into contact with some nobles.

Every blood clansman who traded with Olinka would have a small amount of blood, ’unnoticeably,’ drawn as a ’tip,’

Gradually, Olinka managed to achieve Open Source on her own, even finding her own path to this point.

’The Most Loyal Blood Slave,’ Field Erasti, the head butler of The Original Divine Skin Mansion, managed all the fundamental affairs of New Zion.

Outwardly, he showed no insect traits, and looked more like a human.

With a Mediterranean hairstyle and dressed in medieval butler attire, he even held a gold tray in his hands, where ’Blood Brew Wine’ and a ’Housekeeper Bell’ were placed.

The four hidden among the stars silently observed the scene before them, Lorrian was intently watching the ’corpse’ in the blood tank.

He couldn’t feel any signs of life; the only sensation was that of a corpse.

"A corpse... What’s so special about it?

My Moon Eyes also couldn’t stir any reflections on the surface of the flesh, as if it was a body that had died hundreds of years ago, preserved due to excellent embalming effects.

However, the transformation of the blood clansmen is indeed slow, which is getting more interesting."

Thinking this, Lorrian decided not to waste any more time and telepathically communicated with the passing gentleman:

"Let’s move~ Find someone to help me block the Crimson Nobles, the other two go rescue Mr. Zede, who is like a corpse.

This jail is your creation, you should know how to open it, right? Don’t waste too much time, or I might become impatient."

Marko and Martin replied, "I’ll coordinate with you against the nobles, let Principal Desline and Reagan handle the rescue."

"Come on."

Star particles converged,

Lorrian materialized first, and the moonlight seeped into the ground and fell upon all the blood clansmen.

"Guard duty is tiring, sleep~"

The illusion took effect, and the six Blood Priests guarding next to Zede immediately stood sleeping,

But...

Ding ding ding~ Head butler Field rang the Housekeeper Bell in his hand at the first sight of star particles.

The crisp and intense bell sound instantly cleared everyone from the effects of the illusion and enhanced their cognition,

Not only that, the alarm-like bell sound also traveled through the blood channels straight to the central manor... The next second, gurgle gurgle~ two hideous heads emerged between the blood tanks, corresponding to the other two Crimson Nobles, creating a 4V4 situation.

Tch~

Lorrian didn’t want to engage in battle so soon, looking at the troublesome situation and smacking his lips, "What a nuisance... My injuries haven’t fully recovered, I really don’t want to exert too much physical effort, let’s make it quick."

Snap!

Lorrian snapped his fingers.

The moon hanging over Zion, disregarding the blood-stained effects, suddenly shot out a markedly different beam of light, reaching the current area,

Not to illuminate the enemies, but to specifically fall on his back.

This beam of moonlight displayed an unusual cyan color, and as it shone on his back, a great sword, which didn’t quite fit Lorrian’s figure, appeared on his back, changing his aura entirely.

It was the ’Moonlight Greatsword,’ specially provided by old-world merchants to Lorrian, seemingly directly related to the ’Moon’ of the bygone Old World.
