Chapter 241 The Blood Ring. 2

*Master, you will have nothing to fear as long as you proceed as with The succubus, using the orb that is in your possession. I'm sure it won't absorb all the energy contained in the orb... probably! In short, currently, she only follows her primitive instincts to return to life. If you do not feed it properly, it will be a great loss you will regret forever! *

*In fact, what you're asking me here is to choose between saving this ring or letting it die while continuing the plan I carefully put in place; is that it? *

Kimiko: *...Yes.*

"Ah, holy shit!" He shouts these words.

His frustration was at its maximum. Because of a single unexpected, all his plans will fall into the water. But he had no other choice. Just seeing a glimpse of the ring's power, which could freeze Greed despite being so weak, Alvine gave it all the priority.

"You better be useful to me. Otherwise, I swear I'll be the person who will break you into a thousand pieces!" He shouted at the ring that continued to suck his blood and raw energy greedily.

It hadn't even been two minutes since the beginning of these strange events, but it was unimaginable for him to see the mess that the ring had created.

But he still forced himself to calm down after several breaths and exhalation. *Luna, change of plan; bring the orb with you. *

As soon as Luna heard her lord's order, she appeared in front of him, holding the black orb in front of him.

"What is it?!" Linnaella let these words escape at the end of surprise when she saw Luna appear from nowhere! She was so confused that she began to feel her head dizzy.

But Alvine didn't care about her or her reaction. What he had to preserve before out was his life. Compared to that, Linn didn't even deserve to be a rock in his visual field.

On the other hand, Linnaella did not interrupt Alvine's actions. She had already seen the orb in Alvine's memories, so she had a little idea of its functions.

But unfortunately for her, she was not going to stay out of Alvine's problems. Having Alvine with her was like having the biggest troublemakers in the whole universe with her. Sylvia understood this when she ventured alone with Alvine on the Garyth plantation. As for Linnaella, who had captured Alvine, she would somehow regret this decision in the future; in a way, she offered Sabrina and the other maids of Alvine without her not realizing it.

From the moment Alvine's hand touched the orb, pure and ferocious energy shook every corner of the living room, even dropping a few bottles on the mini-bar on the other side. Without taking anything into account, Alvine began by absorbing energy while resisting the unimaginable pain that stiffened all his muscles and nerves, and his skin became more and paler.

Realizing Alvine's pitiful condition, Linnaella tried to approach him to check his condition. But when she crossed Luna's crimson eyes, impregnated with insatiable bloodthirst toward her, she decided not to move.

"H-Hey, aren't you going to die like that, are you?" She asked in a dubious tone.

"Hehe~, *Koff* *Koff!! * I'm not as fragile as you think." He said between his tight teeth.

"Stop playing with it! Even if I didn't understand what just happened, I know that if you continue like this, you will surely die either for lack of energy or by exsanguination!" She immediately retorted when she saw that the ring absorbed even the blood Alvine had just spat before it touched the ground.

With this glimpse, she also understood how monstrous the rusty ring was. But seeing Alvine keep it on his ring finger, she understood that Alvine had decided to bind himself to the mind inside it; as a result, she did not bother to tell him to remove the ring.

Luna, who stared at Linnaella with hateful eyes without blinking at them, suddenly let her fist fall into her palm with an idea of how she could help her master.

"Ahem, you. Make yourself useful and come and offer your life to my lord. It's an end worthy of an inferior and greedy being like you." She said, addressing Linnaella.

"... Me?" Linn asked, pointing to herself.

"To whom else? No one else exists in this room except the three of us and my lord. But this idiotic Greed, and I have no blood! My lord needs fresh blood, and you will do the trick, so stop wasting time. Every second that passes is a risk to plunge my master into a long sleep!" She replied by taking out her two little black daggers and impregnating them with gehenna flames!

"H-Huh? This girl really makes me want to kill her every time she speaks to me!" Linn mumbled to herself when she saw Luna's audacity.

"This is your last chance; if you do not help my lord voluntarily, I swear on behalf of my lord that I will collect your blood myself, even if, for this, I must disobey the orders of my lord!" She mumbled in an emotionless voice as her knees bent and her body slowly disappeared.

"Luna, that's enough! I haven't reached my limits yet. Arg, fucking ring sucker!" Alvine stopped him when he saw Luna's self-decision.

At the same time, he resumed his incubus form. He could no longer maintain his human form when he had almost no blood.

'Shit! Not yet! I need more time. Unlike primordial beings, my body's constitution is too fragile to regenerate the unique blood and bloodline that circulates in my cells at the same time...I think I will lose consciousness if I continue like this!' He ironically smiled when he saw that the ring had only removed half of the rust on itself.

"My lord, if you continue like this, you will really die for other millennia again! Just let me take care of this insect. Even if I don't have the confidence to defeat her, I can still collect at least a liter of her blood!" Luna insisted.

"...Do you just need a liter of blood to survive?" Linn asked with a frown.

But Alvine was half conscious of being able to answer anything about her.

"Nope, not a liter, but until he is out of danger! All this is your fault. That's why you must be ready to sacrifice your little life to help my lord not to plunge back into a restful sleep." Luna nonchalantly clarified.

"You, I swear to take care of your case afterward. Stay calm and wait for me wisely." With these last words, Linn instantly appeared in front of Alvine.

She made a small notch on her forearm and let her blood, of the same color as Sabrina's, flow between Alvine's lips.

As for Alvine, feeling the intoxicating taste invade his taste buds, his vampire lineage was stimulated by Linn's blood and unconsciously grabbed her arm and pushed his sharps into her pulpit, and greedily sucked her blood even though he was half unconscious.

If it were before acquiring the bloodline of the king of the first vampire + Sabrina’s bloodline, he would generally have no problem regenerating his blood as far as the ring sucks his blood, thanks to his regeneration capacity. But the blood that now circulates in his veins is no longer as simple as before, and this situation will become even more complicated in the future after Linn has given him her blood! That was the reason he tried to resist the ring pitifully because having several bloodlines did not only have advantages.

"No matter your nature as an aberration, I did not bring you here to die pitifully. You still owe me favors, and above all, I have not made all these efforts to let you leave quietly into the afterlife. Don't even count on that!" She murmured for Alvine, looking straight into his garnet eyes, gradually regaining their original colors.

At the same time, on the planet of the Punishers, Sabrina released a big breath of hot air. "Well, the master's problems will follow them no matter where he is. Sigh; thank you for your report, Darka. You can go back into my shadow." She ordered by looking at Darka's imposing silhouette in front of her with a satisfying smile.

Darka nodded and turned into a giant raven, then returned to Sabrina's shadow.

Now alone in the cultivation room, Sabrina giggled while ironically shaking her head. "You haven't seen anything yet, greedy slut. It's only a matter of time before you understand that a plebeian such as you does not deserve to stand on an equal footing as my master. But hearing that you are coming back with my master of your own free will, I can't afford to let go. Sigh, I wish with all my heart that you fully enjoy your stay, master."

With these last prayers, she resumed her cultivation in a brighter mood.

But contrary to appearances, the person who lived the experience of being in perpetual hell because of his greed was not Linn but Dalvine's host, Randolph!

Guided only by his thirst for knowledge, Randolph never regretted a decision as much as he had made a few months ago: when he decided to buy the Alvine clone.

___

Unlike a glass of blood-filled wine he had consumed from Sabrina, Alvine had sucked about ten liters of Linn's blood!

But the latter has not even changed her expression or complexion despite the amount of blood she had just lost. With her level, Alvine can suck her blood forever; she constantly regenerates.

But contrary to appearances, it was not as simple as that. People like Linn are primordial beings who cannot restore their vitality even through cultivation. Moreover, what she had just done was like giving part of her life to Alvine. And Alvine, who hated having debts to people, knew how frustrating it was to have such a debt to pay in the future.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

But what was impressive was not Linn's sacrifice nor Alvine's insatiable thirst... but the appetite for the ring!

Alvine had barely managed to replace the blood he had lost. The ring instantly absorbed 95% of the blood Alvine received from Linn! This thirst was too frightening even for Alvine, who was like a transmitter.

But suddenly, the ring stopped sucking his blood and energy simultaneously.

Realizing the strange actions of his ring, Alvine raised his right hand and looked at the ring that was now like new, with a crystalline red color and two exquisite jewels above it.
