Chapter 479

: The Door?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Y’zaks once said that the history recorded by a short-lived race like humans was not credible. This was because they had short lives and were easily trapped in their emotions. Their records always had fatal deviations after several generations. Now it seemed to be true.
If it had not been for the portrait of the witch, which remained unaltered due to its preservation in the different dimension, and Vivian finally recalling what actually happened in the past, probably no one would have imagined that the penniless vampire was the witch of legend, circulating in the Andrea Family for 300 years. The truth was really simple. A penniless vampire met two humans by chance. However, the two humans lost their fortune because of her, and she felt remorse for it. After destroying a vengeful spirit, she gave treasures to the two men as a gift. One of the men was a descendant of the Andrea Family.
It was difficult to find out how the subsequent descendants accumulated their wealth, built the castle in this ominous land, and became entangled with the vengeful spirit for 300 of years. Nonetheless, they could roughly guess the process.
There had to be something wrong with Vivian’s seal and the gift she left behind for the family’s ancestor.
Vivian found the way to deal with the vengeful spirit from her memory, and she finally remembered why the vengeful spirit was sealed in this world.

This hall… It wasn’t like this when I was here,
Vivian said as she pointed around.
It was rebuilt by the Andrea Family’s subsequent descendants. They enlarged the crypt and reinforced this place with boulders, but I can still sense the smell in the hall. It’s the blood seal I left behind. With the smell, I should be able to find the location of the seal.

Hao Ren kept Vivian’s portrait in his Dimensional Pocket, then he quickly stood up and pushed the heavy door open.
Let’s go.

The creaking of the old hinges, and the cold wind mingled with gray-white snowflakes swept in from the outside. The vengeful spirit seemed to be recovering rapidly, and the snowstorm that was far away from the little mound had now come together. This snowstorm was the strong malice of that creature. Something was shimmering in the deep darkness and some kind of malicious old energy was eyeing them.
Nangong Wuyue cast a misty shield to ward off the ever-increasing blizzard, allowing Vivian to lead the way in front of them. Vivian was trying to recall her memories while walking.
I remember I was in a cavern to defeat the vengeful spirit… There was a door in the cavern, and vengeful spirit entered the physical universe via the door. At that time, the vengeful spirit also created another dimension, but not as big as this place now. I think we’re in the cavern right now—Andrea’s descendants must have built this castle on the site of the seal.

Lily raised her claws to illuminate the surroundings, looking at the vast expanse of dark snow and said,
… I don’t think this is a cavern.


Your memory is hopeless,
Nangong Wuyue was surrounded by layers of mist, blocking off the blizzard around them while making fun of Vivian,
it’s just 300 years ago.


I didn’t associate it with my memory fast enough,
Vivian said awkwardly,
this place changes too much. And the Andrea I knew was just a hapless woolen merchant, and the seal I left behind was just a big rock in the depths of the underground–who would know that 300 years later it developed into a family and an ancient castle? 300 years … Man-made things change too fast.

Hao Ren accepted this explanation because he also could not remember his primary school teacher’s name. It was easy for people to forget about things that they did not care about.
And more importantly, it was hard for Vivian to associate a super-rich family with herself: starting from the age when Cleopatra was killed by the Romans, she did not expect to have any connection with any wealthy person…
White Flame was looking at Vivian curiously. This eccentric demon hunter behaved quite different from other demon hunters. Not only did she remain calm, but she also did not conceal her interest in this group of people. Vivian, of course, noticed her gaze.
Why are you looking at me?
she asked.

You are very … Abnormal. Different from what I’ve imagined,
White Flame said honestly,
You’re also quite different from what I’ve read from the book. Many of our elders are very wary of you, and they are even a bit in awe of you. They call you the elder and advise us not to have a conflict with you. I thought you were a stubborn freak, and moody. This is how the young demon hunters describing you when they talk about you.

Lily could not hold back and she laughed. And, of course, she was punched.

You’re also different from the kind of demon hunters I know,
Vivian said, looking White Flame up and down while pointing to Nangong Sanba and said,
Not including this guy. He is a problem child and I don’t want to talk about him now. The demon hunters I’ve seen are as stubborn as stones. The only thing on their mind is to kill us. But you’re strange. I can feel your hostility at first, but I know you’re not going to kill us, and now… your hostility to us is gone.

White Flame nodded and said,
My tutor also said so, and he has always been trying to develop my killing instincts for those creatures, but it doesn’t seem to have much effect. The elders said that I should have a natural hostility when I saw those creatures, but I feel it was strange: why should I be hostile to a creature that I don’t even know?

Then White Flame blinked, seemed like she was thinking about something else and continued,
He said my mentality is a kind of disease. I used to think so, but today when I was dealing with you guys alone for the first time, I found that you guys are not very different from us. You guys seem to have feelings too? Then my worldview has no problem.


Of course, we all have feelings,
said Hao Ren.
But Vivian looked surprised. She looked at White Flame in disbelief and asked,
You said you don’t have the killing instinct when you see the creatures like us?

White Flame nodded, and Vivian immediately asked another question,
Is there any other demon hunter like you?!

White Flame looked at Vivian warily and asked,
Why do you ask about this? Spying on the information?

It seemed that although this strange demon hunter’s attitude towards the unusual creatures was more moderate than that of other demon hunters, her hostile heart, which was taught from an early age, was still the same. However, Vivian had found the answer from White Flame’s reaction and no longer keep on asking. But Hao Ren was baffled and asked,
What’s wrong?


Do you remember the innate hostility of the normal blood clan and werewolves?
Vivian asked.
Hao Ren immediately recalled it: Under normal circumstances, werewolves and blood clan were inherently hostile to each other, even if they had never seen each other, even if they did not know the existence of each other in their worldview, they would definitely be hostile to each other the moment they met. In fact, not only werewolves and the blood clan had this hostility, all the other unusual creatures did have the same situation. However, this phenomenon did not exist in the Plane of Dreams. So, Hao Ren had been wondering what happened to these creatures that came to Earth from the Plane of Dreams that led them to this bizarre heredity.

As far as I know, the hostility between demon hunters and all unusual creatures is similar,
Vivian whispered,
and the demon hunter’s innate hostility to those creatures is so serious that the moment they meet, they will definitely kill each other, without the need to introduce each other’s identity.


The innate hostility of the younger generation of werewolves and blood clan has weakened for unknown reasons,
Hao Ren immediately realized something and said,
and the demon hunters…


There must have been a mutation in the veins when they time-traveling from the Plane of Dreams to the earth,
Vivian sounded very serious,
I think I’m able to connect a lot of things and it makes sense… Now this ‘innate hostility’ in their veins is weakening, and it seems that the situation of demon hunters is more serious, and the body of their offspring is weakened as well… except White Flame. She’s a gifted child.

White Flame looked at them with suspicion and asked,
What are you muttering about? Conspiracy? If you want to fight, just say it! I’m in a hurry!


The way you speak really irritates me!
Hao Ren was annoyed.
At this moment, Becky suddenly saw something in the snow in front of them. She interrupted Hao Ren,
Is that the seal?

Hao Ren and White Flame immediately turned their heads at the same time.
They could saw a blurred grotesque giant stone in the blizzard. A lavender light curtain was rising and surging above the giant stone.
The blizzard was suddenly getting stronger.
