Chapter 1053
Saint Blood Angel Alistair (Requesting Monthly Passes)
“It’s quite sturdy,” Alistair said with some surprise. “What kind of piano wire trap…”
Eivass shook his head. “No, not really… nearly a quarter of them are broken. Their energy levels are too low; these are completely broken by their bodies. In a battle of the same level, they could probably only entangle a few times at most.”
“So… research failed?”
“I’ll try something else.”
As Eivass and Alistair chatted, the Moon Children, who were wary and didn’t dare to approach, fired magic bullets at them. This was a probing volley, but it showed that their accuracy was clearly not good. Approximately twenty-odd magic bullets rushed over, but even if Eivass and Alistair didn’t dodge, only five or six would hit them. The rest missed – or, you could say, they were blocked.
Eivass didn’t even move his fingers, and a wall of blood energy condensed in front of him. The blood orbs beside him were reduced by half. It swallowed almost all the magic bullets. They shot in from one end, splashing a little blood, and then vanished without a trace, not emerging from the other side. Instead, the wall grew a few inches larger. Two magic bullets strayed widely, easily shattering the walls on both sides.
“This structure has been protected by the Preservation Technique… this strike should be close to Third Tier. This move is quite effective for defense,” Eivass said. While speaking, he flicked his finger in the air, causing the frozen blood wall to rapidly surge towards the Moon Children. It started slowly, then became extremely fast in an instant, striking several Moon Children who couldn’t dodge in time. Like a spiderweb, it stuck them to the wall at the far end, rapidly draining the blood from their bodies!
“I need to dilute it, otherwise, I won’t have enough blood.” Eivass evaluated, “It can dilute tenfold, which means…”
As Eivass spoke, another thin line shot out from the blood orb. Its tip was an elastic blood orb, rapidly bouncing back and forth between the walls. An unlucky Moon Child happened to be in its path, was instantly pierced and drained dry. The blood orb continued to bounce outward, searching for more liquid.
Eivass closed his eyes. Every time the blood orb hit the wall, he could sense its precise location. Even without looking, he could construct a simple three-dimensional space in his mind.
“Found it.” In about three seconds, Eivass found a usable liquid. It was the red wine from the banquet. Under Eivass’s mental control, it shot through rows of wine barrels, and they were instantly drained. The thin line behind the small orb quickly thickened, and then it returned the way it came, killing two more Moon Children along the way. It returned to Eivass with a large amount of liquid.
At this time, the blood orb following behind Eivass had split into three, each the size of a watermelon. Its volume had increased by at least six to seven times compared to the beginning. Eivass condensed fresh blood again— one of the blood orbs flying behind him landed on the ground, transforming into more than thirty blades like shark fins, whistling across the ground. As they approached the Moon Children, they suddenly enlarged several times, slicing them vertically in half! This time, the moment their bodies split open, their blood was drained, turning them into gray stone statues.

…
The kill notifications rang out, but overall, the number was significantly less than the Moon Children they saw. This meant that even more than two-thirds of this batch of Moon Children were below Third Tier.
“I finally understand. These Moon Children are like earthworms,” Eivass evaluated. “If you cut them horizontally, a head and half a body can still live. But if you cut them vertically, they’re pretty much dead…”
“Mainly because they can’t stop the bleeding, right?” Alistair said with a smile. “How were my skills?”
“Not bad.” Eivass said sincerely, “Very flexible, very useful… The test is almost done. Let’s go to the banquet hall… and you can clean up.”
As the Saint Blood Angel, Alistair possessed a special divine form, noble yet different from that of a “Perfect Being.” She still had absolute suppression in terms of status over ordinary Moon Children.
“Okaaaay~” Alistair drawled, following Eivass across the river of blood to continue forward, all the way to the center of the banquet.
There weren’t many Moon Children left here… apart from some “Moon Child babies” that had just been transformed and had low energy levels, the rest were trembling mortals. This place was completely different from the chaotic atmosphere of the Moon Child banquet in Star Antinomy.
Some were tied to stone pillars, their bodies covered in blood from small knives, yet still not dead.
Some had their limbs cut off, wearing muzzles like dogs and confined in the same cage as ferocious dogs much larger than themselves.
Some had their spines pierced by iron hooks, letting out weak wails.
And some had their limbs severed, with iron hooks in their mouths, hung in the air…
The most conspicuous was a young human with his eyes and ears cut off, wearing a crown, and trembling as he sat on a “golden throne.” His hands were tied to the armrests of the throne, and the armrests, like the blades of a juicer, randomly popped out, continuously squeezing out blood filled with fear, which flowed into a golden cup.
“Look, Eivass! This should be the ‘Royal Blood Wine’ ritual, a ritual of transcendence that uses the blood of fear from those with royal bloodlines as material to increase the level of the Moon Children!” Alistair sat down on a table in front of him, picked up the most luxurious golden cup, and pretended to drink it.
Under the envious gazes of the surrounding Moon Children, she shook the cup and poured it out like garbage. The blood flowed down the side of the cup, down Alistair’s arm, to her thighs, and then to her scarlet toenails.
“What, why didn’t you stop me?” Alistair said to Eivass playfully.
“Because we are neat freaks, and we disdain to drink this kind of blood…” Eivass said casually, his indifferent pupils looking around. In his scarlet eyes, burning anger gradually ignited.
“The plan has changed, Alistair…” Eivass said in a low voice. “Do you remember where we were supposed to go now?”
“The Orleans Earl’s Mansion?” Alistair pondered for a moment and then confirmed seriously, “I feel like this time I’m right.”
“No, you’re wrong.” Eivass interrupted. “We have to go to another Moon Child’s residence. Time is limited, we need to hurry.”
“Are you angry? I understand… As for time, there should be plenty.” Seeing Eivass’s reaction, Alistair said with a smile. “‘Saint Blood Angel Alistair’s’ manifestation does have distance restrictions… but Alistair doesn’t. I am in travel form now… just like Little Crow or the Ghost Pegasus.”
“——I know what you want to do. After all, we are the same person. I actually… am also very angry. I’ve heard about it for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve seen it… What you’re not suitable for, I’ll do; who you’re not suitable for killing, I’ll kill…” As she spoke, the two flower buds behind Alistair bloomed again.
“…This is your Western Depot?” Eivass quipped.
“Oh, you’re so bothersome!” Alistair feigned anger.
The next moment, countless slender vines emerged, crawled, and spread—all the Moon Children in the entire building were targeted and pierced. No matter where they hid, they were captured by those crimson, scorpion-tail-like thorns. They couldn’t even offer the slightest resistance.
—The Moon Children feed on humans, and the Blood Angel feeds on Moon Children. In just a few breaths, Alistair retracted the vines to her shoulders. All the Moon Children had been drained dry and turned into stone statues.
Alistair waved her hand, walked to the window, and showed a cute smile. “Please trouble you to treat them here. As for the matter of exterminating the family… I’ll be back soon.”
“—We’ll meet at the entrance of the Orleans Earl’s Mansion!” With that, the blood wings behind Alistair fully unfurled. They were tentacle-like wings as ferocious and terrifying as carnivorous plants… and also beautiful, artistic wings made of ruby and crystal red.
Alistair suddenly vanished from her original spot.
