A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

And so, on the seventh floor of this commercial complex, in the direction of the cinema, the slaughter continued.

But in the eyes of all the humans present, this couldn't even be considered a slaughter.

It was a completely one-sided massacre!

"Forward! Charge!"

Instead of using his cherished knightly sword, Eren tightened his reinforced flat-topped helmet and drew his two-handed battle-axe from his back, lifting it with both hands as he charged forward.

Ten Swadian Knights followed close behind, raising their knightly swords and charging valiantly.

Including fifty Swadian Heavy Cavalry, similarly wielding their hand-and-a-half swords, they showed no fear, relying on the strong defense of their chainmail!

The massacre began at that moment.

Eren's battle-axe came down from above, directly shattering the shoulder of a vampire that lunged at him, creating a wound from the neck down to the trachea, the sharpened two-handed battle-axe severing the scapula and spine, lodging itself in the chest cavity.

This made the vampire's charge much gentler, as thick, black blood gushed from its pale lips, and it trembled into silence.

'Puff, puff, puff!' Around Eren, the Swadian Knights charging alongside him thrust their sharp knightly swords forward with practiced ease, piercing the eye sockets, chests, or necks of the lunging vampires.

The thick, fan-shaped shields on the Swadian Knights' left arms, held in front for extra protection, acted as barriers.

The vampires that lunged could only manage to collide, causing the knights to slightly stoop and lean forward to avoid being knocked to the ground and losing tactical maneuvering space.

But at this moment, even being knocked down didn't matter; it wouldn't result in fatal injuries.

Not only were these Swadian Knights wearing cotton robes, chainmail, and sleeveless plate armor on top, but their heads were also encased in pot helmets that left only two slits for their eyes.

This was all-around protection, making them seem like invincible enemies.

Moreover, the fifty Swadian Heavy Cavalry charging up from behind had already followed!

The gleaming sword bodies, the blades sharpened to an extreme, slashed at the vampires flapping their wings, trying to attack from mid-air, immediately causing another scene of chaos and disarray.

They easily hacked down the vampires, who only knew how to bite and scratch with their claws!

"Truly, Eren is worthy of his reputation as a top warrior who emerged from the snowy highlands," Fatis said, watching Eren charge ahead, hacking and slashing with his two-handed battle-axe like a berserker, unable to help but nod lightly, his tone filled with admiration.

"Yes, indeed," muttered Shen Mu, nodding and watching Eren's slaughter, as if he were a one-man army, expressing his admiration: "Very good."

Eren, a powerful warrior who ranked high in the Mount \u0026 Blade Warband world, was indeed someone to be trusted.

"Careful behind you!" A loud reminder came from behind.

'Clang!'

Then came the sound of a sword being drawn from its scabbard.

The Holy Tree Cavalry, wielding Holy Tree Cavalry Swords, wearing Holy Tree Cavalry Armor, and draped in cloaks, were already on the periphery, guarding the surroundings.

Therefore, as Eren and the Swadian Knights and Swadian Heavy Cavalry charged forward to fight, these Holy Tree Cavalry were vigilantly surveying their surroundings, especially the rear from which they had come.

This was a professional habit.

To prevent their retreat from being cut off, or enemies from appearing behind them, they consciously provided rear guard.

Now, as these Holy Tree Cavalry stood guard behind the Swadian Cavalry, they discovered hundreds of dark figures quietly emerging from the cubicles in the corners of the seventh floor.

Then, these Holy Tree Cavalry drew their Holy Tree Cavalry Swords and shouted loudly, "Come out!"

'Heh heh!' Then the dark figures, realizing they had been discovered, flapped their bat wings and charged out, opening their large mouths full of sharp teeth, emitting strange howls as they pounced towards the Holy Tree Cavalry!

"Holy Tree Cavalry! Ten steps forward! Stand your ground!" Then the captain of the Holy Tree Cavalry loudly gave instructions.

Leading the Holy Tree Cavalry around him, he took ten large steps forward, creating tactical maneuvering space.

With the kite shield on his left arm held in front of his chest, watching the vampire closing in within the blink of an eye, he fiercely raised the Holy Tree Cavalry Sword in his hand and swung it forward, splattering foul-smelling black blood once again, with severed limbs flying everywhere, and a new slaughterhouse reappeared!

A slaughterhouse belonging to the Holy Tree Cavalry.

Those being slaughtered…

Were still those vampires trying to sneak attack from behind!

"Be careful, also be cautious of the railings!" At this time, Fatis spoke, reminding the hundred knights and heavy cavalry in the middle to be vigilant: "Beware of those giant vampire bats, and watch out for other vampires hiding inside; don't be careless!"

"Understood!" Standing on the periphery at this time were all Swadian Heavy Cavalry, holding torches in one hand and hand-and-a-half swords in the other.

The torches were to ensure that the vampire bats were afraid and dared not rush over directly.

The hand-and-a-half swords clutched tightly in their hands were entirely prepared for any vampires that might appear!

'Whoosh!'

Just as the Swadian Heavy Cavalry finished their unison reply, the sound of flapping bat wings echoed in the wide hall.

Then dozens of vampires, having somehow lurked beneath the ceiling of the seventh floor, spread their wings and swooped down directly towards the Swadian Heavy Cavalry on the outermost ring, opening their huge mouths full of sharp teeth, almost taking up half their faces, and biting fiercely at the heavy cavalry.

It came quite suddenly!

Moreover, from attracting attention in front, feigning attacks in the rear, to launching a real surprise attack from the side, the tactics were extremely well-arranged and effective.

Even the Swadian Heavy Cavalry, who had already prepared in advance, were somewhat subconsciously stunned at this time.

They could only rely on their daily training, like muscle memory, to raise the hand-and-a-half swords in their hands and slash at the vampires coming at them, again splattering blood!

The vampires that came to attack had no qualifications to parry.

The sharp hand-and-a-half swords could shatter and severely injure those vampires in front that had been attracting attention.

Then they could also kill these vampires that were now attacking from the side!

'Puff, puff, puff, puff!'

The dull sound of blades contacting flesh appeared.

The Swadian Heavy Cavalry on the outermost ring no longer cared whether the fan-shaped shields in their left hands were used to protect themselves; they simply raised the torches, illuminating the scene with the bright flames.

The hand-and-a-half swords in their right hands slashed forward, then raised, then slashed down again, then raised again, then slashed down again.

Simply like these Swadian Heavy Cavalry, wielding axes since they were Swadian Recruits, wielding pointed hoes since they were Swadian Militiamen, wielding Germanic swords since they were Swadian Light Infantry, and now wielding hand-and-a-half swords, the most basic, most fundamental slashing action passed down through the generations!

Relying on this muscle memory, these Swadian Heavy Cavalry once again hacked the vampires that had pounced on them to the ground.

Without any losses!

Not only here.

Even Eren's Swadian Knights and Swadian Heavy Cavalry leading the charge didn't suffer any losses.

Including the fifty Holy Tree Cavalry who charged forward to cover the rear, they still suffered no losses.

No one was killed or injured.

No one was seriously injured from fighting the vampires.

Even minor injuries were rare.

Only during the fighting process, when they were accidentally approached by vampires, and their faces were scratched by claws, or some of their chainmail gloves were torn off, did some scratches and scars appear.

There were no greater injuries!

On the contrary, because these Swadian Heavy Cavalry and Holy Tree Cavalry were fully armed, and the hand-and-a-half swords and Holy Tree Cavalry Swords in their hands were exceptionally sharp.

Each forceful swing would directly cut off the vampire's arm if they tried to block.

If they hit the head, they would directly split open the skull.

Not to mention the more fragile fingers, the wings formed by bones and membranes, and the ribs and scapula, etc.

As long as they were hit by a sharp iron longsword, there would only be one outcome: being cut off and split apart!

Moreover, if they were facing Swadian heavy cavalry, whose movements were broad and sweeping, relying on brute force to kill enemies quickly, these vampires could use their agility to pounce and engage in close combat.

Even though they would still be hammered by the Swadian heavy cavalry, who would react and pull out their spiked maces from their waists, striking them fiercely.

No matter where they were hit, it would leave a deep dent.

Flesh membranes would shatter, and bones would break.

They would still die.

However, facing Holy Tree cavalry, these fourth-tier cavalrymen who had honed their fighting skills within the Holy Tree Knight Order since childhood, would fare even worse.

They wouldn't even be able to get close, as these Holy Tree cavalry would skillfully use their slender, kite-like shields to deflect and dissipate the force, then wield their Holy Tree cavalry swords to precisely pierce their chests, hearts, sever their throats, or pierce their eye sockets.

It could be said that they killed these vampires on the spot with surgical precision.

Their movements were extremely decisive and efficient.

"Not bad."

Even the 10 Holy Tree Knights protecting Shen Mu nodded in approval of the Holy Tree cavalry's performance, expressing their admiration.

Although they were fourth-tier cavalry, these Holy Tree cavalry had undergone training in individual skills within the Holy Tree Knight Order, making them formidable warriors.

They only lacked some practical experience and were slightly inferior to the knights in terms of command and seniority.

However, after experiencing several battles and engaging in life-or-death struggles with enemies.

These Holy Tree cavalry would not only be reliable but also grow into Holy Tree Knights capable of standing alone!

"The personal combat skills of the cavalry from the Holy Tree Knight Order are truly impressive."

Fatis, who was beside Shen Mu, turned his head to look at the Holy Tree cavalry behind him, expressing his admiration.

Aireen's group in front had almost completely wiped out the vampires drawing the most aggro.

The vampires ambushing from the air in the hall had also been contained.

It was the Holy Tree cavalry behind them who were easily crushing the vampires, having almost completely slaughtered them at their feet.

Now, looking at the elegant and fierce movements of the Holy Tree cavalry.

It was indeed a sight to behold.

"These are swordsmanship techniques passed down within the Holy Tree Knight Order's secret texts."

A Holy Tree Knight explained, "It is said to be swordsmanship inherited from a mysterious race, which is not only incredibly lethal and can more effectively kill enemies on the battlefield, but also has very elegant movements, like nobles in a royal court."

"Oh, that's really good."

Fatis raised his eyebrows slightly at this moment, although seeing the simple and crude killing actions of his Swadian Kingdom's heavy cavalry, he did feel that it was a bit too direct.

But at this time, talking about elegance or nobility while killing enemies was meaningless.

Fatis didn't quite agree with this.

It was all about fighting enemies.

Being able to kill the enemy was enough.

No matter what method was used.

The Holy Tree Knights' tone was full of pride in their Holy Tree Knight Order, possessing a good swordsmanship heritage, elegant like nobles.

However, in Fatis's opinion, his Swadian heavy cavalry's way of killing enemies was simple and decisive.

It was the same effect!

"Alright, let's quickly get rid of these vampires."

Shen Mu spoke at this time, looking towards the depths of the cinema, raising his eyebrows slightly.

His tone carried a hint of playfulness, "It seems that what we are looking for should be inside."

"Understood."

Hearing Shen Mu's words, whether it was the Swadian cavalry or the Holy Tree Knight Order cavalry, they fought even more bravely at this time.

Or rather, they sped up the pace and speed of the slaughter, to quickly eliminate these remaining vampires!

Of course, the speed was indeed quite fast.

After Shen Mu spoke, in less than a few minutes, these remaining vampires were all miserably killed by these cavalry, who already had the advantage in numbers and also possessed the advantage in quality with their armor and weapons.

They became experience points for these fourth-tier Swadian heavy cavalry and Holy Tree cavalry to advance.

When the last vampire's wail was stopped by a hand-and-a-half sword, piercing directly through from top to bottom, the high-end marble floor was even cracked by the tip of the sword, leaving a small dent.

A large foot wearing a chainmail boot stepped on the vampire's head, and smoothly pulled the hand-and-a-half sword out of its head.

Foul blood mixed with grayish brain matter flowed out.

But no one cared.

"Please report to Lord Shen Mu that the battle here is over."

The Swadian heavy cavalryman said in a deep voice, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Then someone turned to report.

"Mm."

Shen Mu then led the knights to the entrance of the cinema.

It was in the depths of the long corridor.

There were still many swaying figures faintly appearing there, obviously the vampires hiding inside, now intimidated by the tragic battle just now, dared not come out, only daring to watch from within.

Looking at the corpses of vampires all over the ground outside, as well as Aireen and the Swadian knights and heavy cavalry who were covered in stinky blood.

This combat power really made those vampires who still had some intelligence feel fear.

"These vampires really have intelligence, or rather, something similar to biological instinct."

Shen Mu curled the corners of his mouth at this time, slightly sarcastically.

This was also good.

Precisely because they still knew fear, they were able to quickly and decisively eliminate those vampires just now.

However, Shen Mu also knew that as long as he entered this long corridor and the 6 screening rooms distributed within the corridor, there would definitely be more vampires waiting for him inside.

"I just don't know how many vampires are still inside."

The smile on Shen Mu's face slowly disappeared, and at the same time, he reached out his hand forward, "Fatis, you lead 50 Swadian heavy cavalry who have not participated in the battle and have more stamina, forward, search the interior of these screening rooms."

"Understood!"

Fatis nodded, immediately waved his knight's sword forward, "Follow me!"

Leading 50 Swadian heavy cavalry who were already ready, he strode forward, entering the corridor and rushing into the individually separated screening rooms in batches.

Immediately, the miserable howls of vampires were heard, as well as the shouts of the Swadian heavy cavalry and Fatis's steady commands.

In no time, the screening room that was rushed into first returned to calm.

"Safe!"

Fatis walked out covered in blood, reporting to Shen Mu and the others outside the corridor, and then rushed into the other 5 screening rooms again.

Accompanied by the 'squeak' of the vampires' wails and screams.

The entire cinema was left with only the innermost VIP screening room that had not been rushed into.

But at this time, Fatis did not rush in, but was covered in blood, leading the Swadian heavy cavalry beside him to line up in the corridor, coldly looking at the entrance of the VIP screening room in front, a dozen figures wearing ancient silk robes, holding long swords, standing straight, with a look of dread in their eyes.

Fatis clearly noticed that these dozen special vampires seemed to be very unusual.

They also looked quite imposing.

"Wait." Fatis reached out and stopped the Swadian heavy cavalrymen beside him who were eager to rush forward, and said in a deep voice, "Go find the Lord and ask him to come over."

The Swadian heavy cavalrymen beside him all looked solemn, and one of them turned and went to report.

But more of them gripped the hand-and-a-half swords in their hands, aiming at the dozen or so vampires guarding the VIP cinema, who also held long swords, looked strange, were hidden in the darkness, and were surrounded by gray mist.

A bit of fear also arose in their hearts.

"What's going on?" Shen Mu walked over from behind at this time.

The Swadian heavy cavalrymen in front of him made way for him, allowing Shen Mu, Allen, and the 20 knights to reach the front.

"Lord, I think something is wrong."

Fatis admitted that he was intimidated, mainly because he didn't want his Swadian heavy cavalrymen to suffer unnecessary casualties, so he explained, "These dozen or so vampires look very special, and they look very difficult to deal with compared to the vampires we easily killed just now."

"Difficult to deal with?" Shen Mu raised his head and looked at the dozen or so figures at the entrance of the VIP cinema.

There were a total of 15 slender figures.

All of them were vampires.

Their overall height was 2 meters, they were thin and tall, and their pale fingers held black long swords almost half their height like knights, with the sword tips pointing downwards, and their hands gripping the hilts at chest level, as if they were guarding.

The robes they wore were all exquisite silk robes, and they were all extremely complete, looking as if they were brand new.

There was not much ferocity on their pale faces, only calmness and coldness.

They were closing their eyes at this time, slightly lowering their heads.

Their expressions were extremely peaceful.

However, the feeling they gave people was a fear from the soul level, as if inferior creatures had encountered hunters, an involuntary trembling!

The psychological pressure on Fatis and the Swadian heavy cavalrymen around him was very heavy.

Even Shen Mu felt a slight palpitation when he came over.

As for the whole body, the Holy Tree Knight suit was emitting an increasingly hot feeling, reminding Shen Mu that the strange-looking vampires in front of him were higher-level and more terrifying evils!

Shen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light appeared in his eyes.

Just as Shen Mu wanted to reach out and release his skills.

When launching an attack again.

An old female voice, with some kind of pain still forcibly suppressed, slowly appeared in the VIP cinema:

"Humans... no, humans of Blue Star, I think, we are not enemies, I am just resting here temporarily, and I don't want to have a conflict with you... In this process, we can get along normally with boundaries, and... have a good chat."

"Hmph!"

At this moment, the 15 vampires wearing silk robes with countless black patterns, who were lowering their heads and holding black long swords, suddenly raised their heads, their scarlet eyes filled with cruelty and killing intent.

But they didn't pounce directly.

Instead, as if to cooperate with the old and weak female voice coming from behind the closed door, they were cooperating in terms of momentum.

To declare that they, these powerful vampires, were not without the power to fight!

"Huh?" Shen Mu frowned slightly, feeling as if he had sensed something at that moment.

It was as if a subtle wave had swept over his body and soul.

The feeling was very special.

But there was no hostility.

"Hmph!" Before Shen Mu could think, Fatis and Allen beside him snorted coldly.

And the more than 150 knights and heavy cavalrymen all looked fearless, widening their eyes and glaring at the mere 15 vampires, their faces full of eagerness to try, without the slightest fear of fighting.

They were all elite ace troops of the fourth or fifth rank who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Who hadn't seen death, hadn't experienced severe injuries?

At this time.

Competing in killing intent and momentum, they would not shrink back!

However, Shen Mu put the knight's sword in his hand back into its scabbard at this time, and at the same time raised his right arm.

Signaling the generals, knights, and heavy cavalrymen behind him to calm down.

Because at this moment, a dialogue box had already appeared in front of Shen Mu.

【Ding! Congratulations! You have explored this shopping mall complex and successfully discovered its special secrets. Your mission is complete!】

【Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 'Personnel Supplement for Quartermaster Authorized by the King (Fourth-Order Replenishment)'.】

【Ding! Due to a special event, your mission has been changed—Friendly or Hostile.】

【Mission Name: Friendly or Hostile.】

【Mission Brief: You have come to this shopping mall complex and encountered attacks from many corpse puppets and low-level vampires. You have been killing your way up and finally discovered the leader of the vampires on the top floor, hidden in the VIP cinema. It also suggested to you that both sides maintain a friendly relationship.】

【You can choose to:】

【Condition Choice ① Friendly: The advanced vampire hidden in the VIP cinema is obviously very difficult to deal with. It also claims that it will not stay here for long, so maintaining corresponding friendliness may avoid some trouble.】

【Condition Reward: 10,000 Denars, and a Gold-level Special Treasure Chest × 1.】

【Condition Choice ② Hostile: Although the advanced vampire hidden in the ghost soldier cinema looks very strong, you have more people, and you can kill it even if you pile it up, so there is no need to communicate with it at all.】

【Condition Reward: 10,000 Denars, and 'Transcendental Divine Power' × 1 point.】

The content in the dialogue box was refreshed, not only completing the previous temporary task, but also the system actively changed out a new task.

It was when Shen Mu scanned the content in the dialogue box in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly:

"Friendly or Hostile." Shen Mu chewed on this sentence in his heart.

His heart was slightly solemn about the meaning of these two words.

Especially after skimming over the rewards for choosing these two words, his heart faintly palpitated a bit.

"There is a reward of 10,000 Denars for both, but choosing friendly is 1 Gold-level Special Treasure Chest." Shen Mu skimmed over the back, his mood became more and more stern: "But choosing hostile can get more... Transcendental Divine Power."

It wasn't that Shen Mu hadn't obtained Transcendental Divine Power before.

At that time, when he was in the spirit world scene, he obtained 1 point of Transcendental Divine Power by obtaining the artifact fragment of 'Gnoll God Yeenoghu'.

And this point of Transcendental Divine Power directly allowed him to upgrade 3 skills.

Bringing huge changes!

Now.

Just in this sudden moment.

The word 'Transcendental Divine Power' actually appeared again, and if he made a choice and completed the conditions after the choice, he could obtain it again.

This made Shen Mu's heart faintly have a bit more understanding, and then he immediately made a decision:

"Choose Friendly!"

Shen Mu's thinking instantly communicated with the system.

【Ding! You have chosen 'Friendly'! Please show a friendly attitude in the following communication process, complete the communication, and you can complete the mission.】

【Hint: The other party has already expressed its friendly attitude, now please express your friendly attitude.】

In front of Shen Mu's retina, the prompt from the system actually appeared again.

"Sure enough." Shen Mu curled his lips in his heart.

This was the system's hint.

Before, he killed the Demon Lord, defeated the Demon Legion, and took away the Demon Crystal Core Mark, before he obtained the key to go to the spirit world and opened the plane teleportation gate.

Then he killed so many demon troops, saved the humans of Blue Star, and coerced and lured those Gnolls, and finally spent a lot of effort to get that artifact fragment and obtain that point of Transcendental Divine Power.

Now the system says that as long as you defeat this high-level vampire inside, you can get it?

"Understood, this is the system's clear hint to me."

Shen Mu pursed his lips and looked at the door of the VIP cinema that was blocked by 15 vampires who looked indeed intimidating, sighing in his heart: "The seemingly old and weak voice inside is very powerful!"

Now Shen Mu also has his own understanding of the issuance of system rewards.

Whatever he lacks, he will be given actively.

How much and how rich it is.

That depends on whether the system judges that the difficulty of this task is high or not to decide.

Now it seems easy to obtain the reward of the word 'Transcendental Divine Power' as long as a process is achieved.

The difficulty of this is making Shen Mu feel a little apprehensive just thinking about it.

“Let's maintain a friendly attitude.” Shen Mu calmed down.

Looking at the 15 special vampires in front of him, Shen Mu calmly said, “I didn't expect necromantic monsters could communicate. I thought necromantic monsters were just undead creatures crawling out of graves, without any intelligence, only knowing how to hate the living.”

Inside the VIP screening room, hearing Shen Mu's words, the old, weak female voice chuckled softly.

It had already noticed the meaning of communication in Shen Mu's words.

So it took the initiative to explain: “Low-level undead are indeed monsters without intelligence, but for us high-level undead, especially high-level vampires who have been actively transformed, retaining normal thinking and communication abilities is very normal.”

“Does that mean we can communicate?” Shen Mu asked.

“Yes, mighty human knight, and to these powerful human heavy cavalry you command, I, Isabel, wish to express my respect.”

Inside the VIP screening room, the old, weak female voice forced her voice to become solemn.

She finished this sentence in one breath.

But as soon as this sentence was finished, a series of intense, even more suppressed coughs came from inside the VIP screening room.

It sounded very weak.

As if she had suffered a heavy blow and could no longer control her coughing.

“My lord?” Beside Shen Mu, Airelian spoke, his eyes carrying a sharp glint as he looked at Shen Mu.

Not only Airelian, but even the Swadian knights behind him, and those Swadian heavy cavalry, were now subtly gripping the hilts of their swords, each eager to try, their faces under their helmets carrying a certain determination.

Strike while the iron is hot.

If they could take advantage of the other party's illness to completely eliminate the danger here.

Even if they were likely to die in battle, and many of their companions and comrades would also die in battle, these knights and heavy cavalry, who had risen from the battlefield, would not care at all.

Their existence was for killing, they were just fighting machines from the continent of Calradia.

Simply put, living was for the day of their death.

They were fearless!

‘Creak.’

Seemingly aware that the emotions of the hundred or so human heavy cavalry in front of them were gradually becoming agitated.

The 15 high-level vampires guarding the entrance of the VIP screening room also clenched the black longswords in their hands, their scarlet eyes looking at the humans crowding the corridor, their slender tongues licking their sharp teeth.

These high-level vampires were already ready to fight, and had already prepared to die generously.

The already tense standoff instantly became explosive with the sounds of weak coughing.

Both sides had reached the breaking point of battle.

“Wait.”

But at this time, it was Shen Mu who spoke first.

He raised his right hand and made a fist.

This meant everyone should be quiet.

And stay where they were.

Airelian and Fatis behind him, as well as the knights and heavy cavalry, all looked stunned.

A hint of unwillingness appeared in their eyes.

But out of trust and respect for Shen Mu, they slowly released their tightly gripped sword hilts, and slightly lowered the knight swords or hand-and-a-half swords they had half-raised.

“Isabel, madam?” Shen Mu spoke at this time, using an uncertain title: “I wonder if I can call you that.”

“You may, respected human lord.” The old female voice inside the VIP screening room seemed to have recovered from her coughing, her voice carrying a hint of approval: “I was indeed a woman once, you can indeed call me Madam Isabel, that's correct.”

“I have no intention of offending you, I just heard you say that you won’t be staying here for too long, so I express my friendship and goodwill.”

Shen Mu said in a deep voice: “We have no conflicting interests, the simple antagonism between the undead and the living, I don’t think it’s appropriate to apply it to us who both possess intelligence.”

“That's right, I'm very glad you can think that way, enlightened human lord.” The high-level vampire named Isabel inside affirmed.

And her tone also carried a bit of emotion: “I like orderly and kind humans who are not extreme. This shows that you are a good person, understand basic respect, know how to communicate, and maintain the existence of order itself.”

“Orderly… kind?” Shen Mu frowned slightly.

This was the first time he had heard this kind of alignment division from someone else's mouth.

The last time was from the system.

“What does this mean?” Shen Mu then spoke, taking the initiative to inquire about this matter.

“Oh, it seems you don’t understand alignments?”

Inside the door of the VIP screening room, Isabel, whose face was unseen, only known for her hoarse and old voice, explained with a bit of surprise:

“When you came just now, I already detected your alignment, indicating that you are a good child, a standard young man to become a paladin. If the crystal wall system hadn't shattered, then you would definitely become the most sought-after paladin transfer candidate for various light-based sects.”

“……” Shen Mu became even more puzzled by these words, he didn’t understand many of the details.

“Alas, yes, you don’t understand these.”

The Isabel in the VIP screening room sighed, as if reminiscing about something.

But as she spoke, a crack appeared in the VIP screening room, inside was endless solidified darkness, and strands of thick gray mist spread out from within like tentacles.

At this time, there really was a middle-aged female vampire wearing all-black attire, pale all over, even wearing a black veil on her head, giving the impression of having just attended a funeral, walking out from inside.

She was also holding a small box in her hand.

Under the vigilant gazes of Shen Mu and the many knights and cavalry behind him, she took two steps forward and placed the small box in her hand on the ground.

And to show that there was nothing inside, she slowly opened the box.

‘Buzz!’

What appeared inside was actually a small crystal, about the size of a fist.

It was now floating in mid-air, rotating.

Releasing strands of subtle, gentle fluctuations.

“A Spirit Realm Mark!?” How could Shen Mu not recognize it, this thing was a complete Spirit Realm Mark!?

“This is a gift I give to you, young human lord.”

Inside the VIP screening room, Isabel’s old voice appeared again, her tone carrying a bit of regret:

“Originally, when I descended here, a fragment of a holy spear belonging to the Light God system followed me. If you can find it, perhaps you can use the remaining power of faith inside to obtain more help.”

“Hmm?” Shen Mu frowned even more at this time, he didn’t understand what a fragment of the holy spear of the Light God system was.

Nor did he understand what the remaining power of faith was.

But combining them together.

He thought of the artifact fragment of Gnoll, the Gnoll God, that the gnolls had secretly hidden in the Spirit Realm scene back then.

It brought him supernatural power, as well as the divine power enhancement of skills.

“Alright, I'm already very tired and need to enter slumber again.” This Isabel spoke, and the middle-aged female vampire, shrouded in black gauze, also respectfully retreated back into the crack in the door.

At the same time, the door to the VIP screening room closed again.

“Thank you.”

Shen Mu understood this, so he watched a Holy Tree Knight walk over and pick up the Spirit Realm Mark for him, and then nodded politely in thanks.

“I will leave before the next Black Tide arrives.” Isabel’s voice sounded weakly from the crack in the door: “I hope that in the future, we will have the opportunity to meet again.”
