Chapter 1175: Chapter 530: Where’s the Head?_2

Knowing that Mad Jack was hiding below, waiting for prey, you stopped in time and dashed into the 41st floor...

Entering the 41st floor’s doors, you found yourself in an abandoned church hall filled with dust and decay.

The curtains on all sides were tightly closed, yet you could still glimpse the rays of sunlight projected through gaps in the curtains.

In the blink of an eye, the church hall suddenly became bright and sunny, clean and tidy, teeming with children playing, laughing, and chasing each other while several nuns chased after the kids with headaches, and the sunlight outside poured into the hall, making their noisy voices feel warmer...

The vision of the Flash Spirit flashed by, and all sounds abruptly stopped, leaving you once again with the sight of ruins...

Mu You sighed, beginning to understand.

This building appeared to have only three floors on the surface, but in fact, it had countless hidden floors above, not arranged spatially but temporally.

Each floor here represented a certain era in the history of this land.

The Admin didn’t want to erase the history of this place, but rather, couldn’t, as this location might be the center of the world. Like a load-bearing wall, if erased, the whole world could collapse, so the Admin didn’t dare act recklessly. He could only hide the history of all generations in the form of floors and seal the entire estate, preventing anyone from getting close.

However, you can’t wrap fire in paper. No matter how well-hidden this place was, as long as it existed, it was bound to be uncovered one day.

You faintly heard the frustrated howling of Mad Jack outside the hall...

Unsurprisingly, the murderer was coming again.

But this time, Mu You didn’t plan to run anymore. The environment here gave him some different ideas.

He was ready to settle the score with this killer right here.

You locked the staircase door, ran to the side of the hall, and hid behind numerous tables and chairs for cover.

"Bang!" Soon after, the sound of someone smashing the door echoed, an axe blade chopped through from behind the door, ringing out loud in the empty, silent church.

The axe was quickly withdrawn and then chopped down again...

With the successive banging sounds, the door quickly lay in pieces. A face peered through a crack in the door, sweeping a gaze around the hall, the corners of the mouth splitting into a wide grin, "You can’t escape by hiding here!"

You continued to hide behind the table, without making any sound.

Mad Jack soon grew impatient, reached in to turn the lock, pushed the door open, and entered with an axe in hand, hunched over, searching the hall leisurely for your whereabouts...

As Jack methodically searched row by row, he never managed to find you...

Not until he approached the center of the hall did you suddenly spring up, pulling the triggers of your twin guns, and deafening gunshots resounded as bursts of fire exploded around Jack.

"There you are, my dear! So, are you prepared to join my daughters in death?" The volley of bullets didn’t harm Jack at all, who grinned at you, like a cat playing with a mouse.

You quickly loaded two new magazines while, in that brief moment of distraction, Mad Jack suddenly sprang up, axe in hand, charging at you with lightning speed.

By the time you raised your guns again, Jack had already reached you.

You didn’t panic, timely activating "Godspeed"...

The activation was successful! Everything around you slowed down.

In the slow-motion view, you could finally see the lightning-fast speed of Mad Jack. However, even with Godspeed, you noticed a burst of red light from Jack, his gaze and attack motions still tightly locked on you...

Mu You cursed at the abnormality. Relying solely on his speed, he was almost able to match the effects of his Godspeed, showing how fast an Ancestor Vampire’s base speed was.

You leapt back swiftly while raising your twin guns, continuing to pull the triggers, but your target was not Jack, rather the window ropes above.

Mad Jack seemed to catch on to your movement, his eyes flashing briefly with confusion, but that confusion quickly turned into terror.

Your bullets accurately hit several window ropes distributed around the hall, and the next second, as Godspeed was lifted, all the curtains in the hall fell down in response, the blinding sunlight poured in unrestrainedly, illuminating every dark corner of the hall...

Jack’s axe tip halted mere centimeters from your body, shaking uncontrollably as he bathed in the sunlight, beset with extreme terror, wanting to flee but paralyzed and too weak even to hold his axe steady.

As the axe clattered to the ground, Jack burst into flames, his violent screams and struggles within the fire were in vain...

...And soon, Jack completely disintegrated into a charred corpse in the light, collapsing with a thunderous crash, motionless...

Mu You viewed the text with some sighs of regret.

This was the greatest weakness of vampires, the fear of sunlight—no matter how powerful or close to the Ancestor they were, none could escape this curse.

Within the Blood Clan’s rigid hierarchy and strict caste system, only under the sunlight did they become equals.

From this, it was clear how twisted the ring he had just acquired was. With that ring, he could potentially take down any vampire alone!

Having confirmed Mad Jack’s death, you drew the curtains, dragged Jack’s remains into the shadows, took out the Blood Shrine, and absorbed his body.

After absorption, you received a droplet of ’sourceless Blood of Heart Vessels,’ generation: 1st, Blood Rhythm: unknown.

You picked up Jack’s fallen axe.

Mad Bloody Axe: An evil axe capable of increasing in power by absorbing fear. With every scare you inflict on others, you gain a ’Mad’ level. Each ’Mad’ level boosts your speed, strength, and perception, while costing a part of sanity, capped at ten levels. When an enemy is in a state of fear, defense, or trying to escape, the Blood Axe’s attack will ignore all defenses.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder..."

After reading the axe’s effects, Mu You finally understood why that guy always liked to scare people senseless—it was to satisfy the weapon’s requirements, needing to frighten someone first for the weapon to unleash its full potential.

Mu You exhaled. One way or another, this had been quite the haul—a droplet of the primal Blood Clan’s heart blood, a mighty weapon, and a Divine Artifact that made him immune to sunlight.

Armed with these three items, he even felt like he could challenge the Regent King by himself.

Of course, that was just wishful thinking; such a person would never give him the chance for a one-on-one battle.

As you were sorting through your loot, a swift glance towards the hall’s entrance revealed the silhouette of the woman in red once more—she extended her hand pointing downwards, then her figure swiftly vanished.

"Do I need to head downstairs again...?"

Mu You wasn’t surprised; clearly, the woman in red had more to show him.

You walked back to the stairwell, descending the stairs...

...Upon reaching the 12th floor, you saw the woman in red again, standing in front of the stairwell’s doorway on the 12th floor, gesturing for you to enter...

You advanced, pushed open the door, and stepped onto the 12th floor.

What met your eyes was a wasteland in the dead of night, with steles that seemed to be graves standing across it.

The woman in red was waiting for you in front of one of the steles.

You approached the stele, and the woman in red vanished automatically. You looked at the stele, which only had the crooked number ’13’ etched into it.

"So this is the grave of that monster baby?" Mu You thought.

The orphanage’s journal mentioned that after the monster baby’s death, it was buried by the woman in red in the graveyard behind the hill. That must be this place.

And the woman in red leading him here was obviously to prompt him to dig up this grave site.

It seems the monster baby’s death described in the journal indeed had more to it.

You found a shovel nearby and began to dig at this grave marker...

...Only after digging nearly ten meters deep did you finally reach a small, unassuming coffin.

You pried open the coffin and found inside, lying quietly, a corpse that was entirely charred...to be precise, a headless corpse!
