Chapter 136: Ascension Ceremony (Part Three)

Chapter 136: Ascension Ceremony (Part Three) 

Duke Brad narrowed his eyes and slowly approached. 

"Rejoice, savor it all, wretched creature. This will be the greatest honor of your life." 

"Don't worry, it will be over soon." 

As if savoring a new kind of prey, Brad Lackman licked his lips in anticipation, his blood-scented breath nearly brushing against Langli Baitiao's face. 

Langli Baitiao screamed internally, "Damn it, is this so-called Night Sovereign some kind of deep-dark pervert?" 

A terrifying thought suddenly struck him. 

"Am I about to become the first player in history to get violated by an NPC?!" 

"What happened to the healthy gaming system?" 

"Somebody do something!" 

"Help me!" 

At this moment, Duke Brad forcefully embraced him, his pale, bark-like fingers brushing against Langli Baitiao's neck. 

He gently blew on Langli Baitiao's earlobe. 

"Come." 

"Surrender to pleasure and desire." 

"And finally, become my sustenance." 

Langli Baitiao's expression changed dramatically. 

As an experienced pervert, he had never even held a girl's hand, yet here he was about to lose his purity to this centuries-old monster! 

He gritted his teeth, his eyes hardening with resolve. 

A man can be killed but not humiliated! 

This was the final straw! 

He couldn't endure it anymore—time to fight this perverted old creep to the death! 

"Screw this! I'm biting your damn neck off!" 

While Duke Brad was still lost in his own world, Langli Baitiao viciously sank his teeth into the unsuspecting duke's neck. 

This bite carried all the fury of nearly being violated! 

Sharp fangs pierced the skin, puncturing the blood vessels. 

Thick blood flowed into Langli Baitiao's mouth, tasting like sewer sludge, making him gag. 

Yet the blood carried an endless surge of dark energy, which entered Langli Baitiao's body. 

In that instant, by drinking the vampire's blood, Langli Baitiao broke free of Duke Brad's control and became a true vampire! 

"Despicable creature, you deceived me!" 

"You are a rebel!" 

Duke Brad's expression shifted dramatically as dark waves rippled across his body, flinging Langli Baitiao over ten meters away. 

Raising his hand, the blood mist in the air coalesced into a twisted hand, gripping him tightly. 

Realizing events had spiraled out of control, rage filled Duke Brad's scarlet eyes. He adjusted his blood-stained garments and shouted, 

"Wretched creature, you could have died in ecstasy, honored to be sustenance for my ascension." 

"But now, you have chosen the most agonizing death!" 

"Pah, how disgusting." 

Struggling in mid-air, Langli Baitiao spat blood toward Duke Brad. 

"Ecstasy my ass!" 

"You old freak couldn't even use a beauty trap? I might've tolerated that. At worst, turn into a woman—I'd reluctantly accept. Even turning into a cute boy, I might hesitate but give in. But you, a centuries-old vampire with rotting bark-like skin that reeks of decay? Back where I come from, you'd be called a giant festering wound! Just touching you makes my scalp tingle—do you even realize that?!" 

With no escape, Langli Baitiao dropped all pretenses, unleashing a barrage of insults. His words flew like venomous arrows, sparking saliva as he raged. 

Duke Brad's fury intensified, the blood mist hand tightening. Langli Baitiao's body creaked as bones threatened to shatter. 

"Damn mortal!" 

"You know nothing of—" 

"My body's perfection and immortality!" 

Crushed into a distorted shape, Langli Baitiao still managed to croak, "Immortal my ass… wait till Ember Nest gets here—you'll end up barbecued…" 

"With your… old meat… worse than… a diseased pig… you wouldn't pass… a food safety check…" 

Though Duke Brad couldn't understand Langli Baitiao's words, he knew they weren't flattering. He laughed darkly in his anger. 

"Mortal, you've enraged me." 

"I've changed my mind. I won't kill you. I'll keep you as my sacrifice, helplessly witnessing my glorious ascension." 

Langli Baitiao didn't stop. Now in full rant mode, his mind was consumed by extreme trash talk. 

"Witness… ecstasy… what a joke…" 

"I'd slap you… till you'd stop… being so insane…" 

"Your… mom… is… dead…" 

"What a filthy, foul mouth." 

Duke Brad waved his hand. A bat flew out of the darkness, landing on Langli Baitiao's face and blocking his mouth with its hairy wings. 

Duke Brad's mind was a fortress of terror. Even his hatred could twist into a grotesque form of "affection." 

"Witness, tremble!" 

"You will all become my sustenance, and I shall achieve immortality!" 

He stepped forward, carving intricate runes into Langli Baitiao's back with a fine dagger, blood dripping from the wounds. 

"Mmph… mmph…" 

Langli Baitiao tried to speak, but the bat clung tightly to his face, silencing him completely. 

"It's done." 

"The final sacrifice." 

With a wave of Brad Lackman's hand, Langli Baitiao was lifted into the air and slammed against the pillar representing "envy." 

Blood-soaked chains coiled around him like pythons, binding him tightly, leaving no room to struggle or resist. 

The blood of the vampire progenies flowed incessantly. 

The eerie runes on the stone platform filled with blood, forming a massive blood formation. 

Immobilized on the pillar, Langli Baitiao thought grimly, "I'm probably done for. This old freak is too strong. At least I preserved my purity." 

"Good thing no other players saw this." 

"Otherwise, I'd be the laughingstock of the forums." 

Langli Baitiao silently consoled himself. 

Little did he know, players had been stealthily watching from the entrance for a long time. They struggled to hold back their laughter, with Mantou's face already turning red. 

These elite players were professional enough to stay silent to avoid alerting the boss. 

But the forums were still operational. 

A flurry of new threads popped up instantly. 

"Shocking! LangthePig actually got bent!" 

"LangthePig and the Old Priest's 45-second video!" 

"Exclusive Footage: The Unspeakable Secret of Langli Baitiao and the Vampire Duke!" 

"Langli Baitiao's Slander! A Twisted Humanity or the Fall of Morality?" 

Unaware of the disaster looming, Langli Baitiao, still feeling lucky, was about to become the first player in gaming history to nearly get violated.
