Chapter 291: Ending the Evil

The demi-plane belonged to a legendary mage who had fallen ages ago. It was due to the relentless erosion of time that problems arose in the mage tower within the demi-plane, allowing Yun Yu to seize the opportunity to enter.

Moreover, he happened to land inside the mage tower. Since it had lost its master, even though the tower spirit tried its best to maintain it, parts of the mage tower's magical arrays were completely abandoned and lost their function.

Thus, Yun Yu was able to enter the mage tower and explore areas unprotected by magical arrays. In his ignorance, Yun Yu stumbled into the bloodline experiment laboratory of the long-fallen legendary mage.

There, he saw many bloodline potions that had been completed. Unfortunately, even with intact protective measures, the essence of most potions had completely dissipated over the long years, turning them into a pile of waste.

Only one potion, brewed from the blood of a Balrog, still contained some of its essence. It was the highest-grade potion in the laboratory, receiving the best protection and possessing strong vitality.

Yun Yu, who obtained the bloodline potion, did not hesitate for long. With life constantly under threat and a strong desire for power to survive, he drank the potion.

The potion took effect instantly, granting Yun Yu a portion of the Balrog's abilities. His life form changed, and his strength surged. But just as he had completed his transformation, for some unknown reason, Yun Yu was suddenly expelled from the demi-plane, returning to the world of Eralasia.

This adventure gave Yun Yu, who had been struggling to survive, the power to keep living. However, the Balrog's bloodline not only granted him power but also changed his thoughts and personality.

Yun Yu became cruel, brutal, and bloodthirsty. Yun Yu himself realized the changes the demon bloodline was causing in him, evident from his notes.

Initially, Muria could see in the notes the narrator's struggle and resistance against his own desire to kill. However, as time passed, the influence of the bloodline grew stronger.

He no longer resisted his desire to kill and even began to enjoy the feeling of slaughtering beings. The demon bloodline potion completely changed his personality. He was no longer Yun Yu with a dragon's body and a human soul but had become the murderous evil dragon, the Pale Blood Devourer.

"What a pity, you couldn't control your bloodline but were controlled by it instead," Muria sighed slightly as he read the notebook.

Towards the end, the notebook covered increasingly larger spans of time, mainly recording the mutated tooth dragon's city-slaughtering, soul-devouring actions, and his thoughts during rampant killings.

Recording his experiences seemed to be a habit of Yun Yu. Even after his personality drastically changed, he did not abandon this habit. It appeared he considered recording his massacres a form of self-entertainment, a perverse pleasure.

Initially, Muria felt some sympathy for this fellow countryman, who had merged with the demon bloodline to survive. However, after reading further, Muria lost all sympathy for him.

Under the influence of the demon bloodline, he had completely lost himself in his power, becoming a cruel, insane, and cunning evil dragon. Especially after advancing to Soul Intent and devouring a Red Dragon, his actions were horrifying, almost boiling Muria's killing intent.

"Roar!" A tyrannical dragon's roar echoed above the castle like thunder. Hearing this sound, the nearly nude vampire woman showed a hint of excitement.

"It seems your partner has returned." Seeing the vampire woman's expression, Muria, already burning with rage, smirked coldly and pointed at her, "Then you have no reason to exist anymore."

"If you kill me..." Before the vampire woman could finish her threatening words, a dazzling golden lightning bolt pierced through her chest, giving her no chance to dodge.

"..." The vampire woman looked down in disbelief at her pierced chest, where the wound burned to a crisp by the lightning was sparking with golden arcs. Then, the tyrannical dragon's flame erupted from it, engulfing the vampire in flames.

"Ah!" Muria watched calmly as the alluring vampire turned to ashes under the dragon flame. Through the notebook, he had gained a general understanding of her.

She was just a puppet forcibly subjugated by the demonized Yun Yu. After discovering she had a clan behind her, Yun Yu, enticed by greed, used force and temptation to subjugate the vampire clan through her.

The vampire woman's strength, at the third level of Soul Intent, was forcibly elevated by consuming a massive amount of blood essence, leveraging the vampires' racial talent. With Yun Yu's support, she assumed the role of clan leader of the vampire clan behind her.

As for the source of the blood essence she consumed, the Pale Blood Devourer had slaughtered over three million humans. He devoured their souls through the talent acquired from the demon bloodline, and a portion of the leftovers went into the vampire woman's body.

Thus, Muria never intended to let this woman live, even if she was just a pitiful puppet.

Listening to the increasingly loud and cruel dragon roars, Muria looked up at the ceiling of the room. A blazing golden radiance burst from his body, making him shine like a small sun.

A majestic dragon roar emanated from the castle atop the mountains, instantly suppressing the chaotic roars of the encircling evil dragon horde.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the upper half of the magnificent castle split open, and brilliant golden light shot out, causing the mutated tooth dragons witnessing this scene to involuntarily retreat slightly. Just feeling the aura from the castle filled them with fear.

"Roar!" Seeing his castle blasted open and returning with numerous dependents, the Pale Blood Devourer let out an angry roar. Black-red demonic flames spewed from its mouth, burning the surrounding space to distort slightly.

"So, you are the Pale Blood Devourer." Within the partially destroyed castle, a figure radiating brilliant golden light stood proudly, looking down upon the dragons.

"What are you?" Facing the nearly sixty-meter-tall majestic figure, the Pale Blood Devourer's nine tails twitched uneasily. In the presence of this being, it felt a deadly threat.

"I am Muria, here to end your sins." Atop the remains of the castle, a grand and resonant voice rose, and the figure, whose golden radiance gradually faded to reveal a majestic being with feathered wings and six dragon horns on his forehead, declared its purpose.
