"Vampire?" Tony was surprised to discover that Perra, who was biting his neck, was a vampire. He grabbed a knife and unleashed all the energy absorbed by the magic sword. The surrounding area was enveloped in darkness, and the entire square was leveled. The entire "Floating Mist" trembled. Perra didn't have much blood, so she was forced to leave to avoid being affected. Tony, alone, relied on the magic sword, with no skin left on his body and blood soaking the ground. Bones and flesh were exposed, and he didn't even have a single strand of hair left. It was truly disgusting.

"Demon Dragon!!!" Tony shouted to the sky, unwilling to accept his near miss. "Bring them down!"

"Ka ka ka ka..." The retro cannon hidden in the high-rise buildings, without the need for a gun platform, constructed their cannons using a magic array framework. They were specifically referred to as the Naxu main cannons.

Perra safely returned to the cockpit and sheathed her sword. Zhao Yuansong was piloting the aircraft.

"How did you obtain this combat aircraft?" Nana quickly figured out the details of the aircraft.

"It was developed by our family and the demon clan. It's not difficult to find one at random, but the problem is down below in the 'Floating Mist'!" Zhao Yuansong pointed at the warning signals emitted by the instruments in front of him.

"They've activated the main cannon!" Perra closed the cockpit door, her expression not looking good. Tony's appearance was truly horrific!

"Hoo hoo~~ What kind of main cannon is it?"

"It's... the Naxu!" Zhao Yuansong concluded from the data.

"The charging time is thirty-five seconds, the range is about fifty kilometers, and the damage area has a diameter of about one kilometer. When did they activate it?"

"Fifteen seconds ago!"

"We don't have enough time. We've been locked on. Can we make it in twenty seconds for a fifty-kilometer range?" This main cannon can lock onto its target in ten seconds and deals immense damage. Its fast charging time is its major advantage, but it consumes a lot of energy, one-fifth of the total energy each time.

"No, we haven't reached that level of maximum acceleration time!"

"Nana, what does it mean that the 'Floating Mist' is attacking us?"

"Mau Maros and Tony are working together. He's monitoring us and ambushing us from the surroundings!"

"Ah~~ They've forced my hand!" I slammed my fist onto the cabin's deck. I had regretted making such a decision before, but now I had no choice.

"Halt!" The next second, the entire "Floating Mist" fell silent.

"Dismantle!" The magic array framework cannons were instantly disassembled and disappeared. The scattered crowds on the "Floating Mist" shouted in fear.

"The 'Floating Mist' is sinking. Qin Yang, what did you do?" Lilith pounded on the window to see. The "Floating Mist" lost all power and drooped.

"I didn't blow it up~~ It's falling down and won't disperse upon impact."

"His magic power is depleted. How is it possible for him to use magic?" Perra, after putting away her sword, leaned against a chair and said.

"The core driving the 'Floating Mist' is a scale of mine. The scale is like the palm of a hand. Have you ever seen someone needing magic to use their hands?"

Perra stumbled towards me with a puzzled expression and casually threw her sword on the ground. Her posture indicated that she had said something wrong, a real big mouth.

"You lied to me!"

"Huh? Qin Yang, what have you done again? Fooling around with girls can make you end up dismembered!"

"Lilith! Do you think there's a possibility of a connection between the Demon Dragon and the vampires?" Nana understood that the vampire clan and the Demon Dragon held a deep-seated hatred that spanned generations and could never be erased.

"But she took a knife for Qin Yang!"

"I regret it! I regret drinking his blood...there's nothing more to say this time!" Perra confronted me with my iron mask, probably referring to just now...

"Hey...be yourself, Perra, do you understand that you're just being kidnapped by Cain's memories? It's unnecessary!"

"What do you mean?"

"Killing the Demon Dragon and reviving the vampires is Cain's old wish, not yours. You should know better than me, reviving the vampires was your idea after all. After all, you witnessed the decline of the vampires! Kill me? You don't even know what I am. You're basing everything on the memories Cain gave you. Memories are emotional things that slowly change you!"

"No, the hatred for the Demon Dragon has always been in my heart!"

"It's Cain's, not yours. You should wake up and know what you really want!"

"I..."

"Revival or revenge, those forced memories can't truly make you feel hatred. Break free from Cain's control. Do you believe in me, believe that I can help you revive the vampires? Whether we're enemies or allies is just a thought away!" I tapped the deck with my nails rhythmically.

"Qin Yang's words are like hypnosis!" Nana whispered to Lilith.

"He wants to resolve the grudge that was formed countless years ago, but hypnosis...I don't know what good it does." Lilith played with her hair, unable to understand.

Perra's gaze was unfocused and uncertain. "Killing you is my own will, not someone else's idea...no!"

"Yes! It's not you who was hunted and abandoned by the Demon Dragon, or expelled by the Demon Realm."

Perra kept digging into her own heart, searching for a certain thought, but she found that no matter how much she dug, she couldn't find it.

"It's impossible to find!"

Perra looked at me in astonishment. She thought I could see her thoughts, and her mind became even more chaotic, and the tapping sound grew faster and faster.

"Perra, don't mistake other people's thoughts as your own. It's puppetry. Do you want to be a slave? Today, you are willing to save me because it's your own thought. You are willing to believe in me! Tell me, who are you?"

"I...am..."

"King!" Zhao Yuansong and the others were very worried. Perra was in a weak position, and I could harm her!

"Step back!" Nana blocked in front of them, taking on a stance that absolutely could not be interfered with.

"Cain, it's time for you to understand!" Shaking Perra was just a decoy, because when Perra starts to doubt herself, the hidden things will feel uneasy. Cain will definitely feel uneasy because the shared memory among vampires is the control key implanted by Cain. It's just a thought that appeared out of nowhere. When that thought is questioned by oneself, it can no longer manipulate his thoughts.

Blood surged in Perra's body, forming a human figure from the surging blood. The blood flowed irregularly, but did not disperse, filling the entire cabin with a sense of resentment.

"There are people chasing us from behind. We must pretend to leave. Will they fight each other?" Zhao Yuansong had doubts in front of the flickering detector.

"Don't think about it. We can't interfere with their affairs!" Nana urged him to choose to leave first.

"Then that must be the progenitor of the vampires-Cain?"

"Who knows."

Perra's body was kneeling, devoid of any consciousness.

"Father!"

"Do you still remember that I am your father?"

"I will never forget, and I will never forget the pain of being banished to The Human Realm, where there is no magic. It was so boring, except for the slight pleasure I felt when I drank human blood!"

"You still don't understand what I mean. In terms of human years, it has been over a billion years since we were in The Demon Realm, where we were bloodthirsty......"

"Shut up! Can't I transform into a dragon using blood as a catalyst? I transformed into a dragon using my own abilities, and there's nothing wrong with that!"

"What about now? Where is your dragon body? Right now, you are just a vengeful spirit, do you know that?"

"To me, I am still alive, I am immortal!"

"You're wrong. There are indeed different forms of life, but if Perra dies and doesn't pass on your bloodline, I'm sorry, but you won't have a way to survive. Your power comes from your hatred towards me, and without you, it will dissipate into thin air."

"Even if it dissipates, I will still...!" Cain's blood-covered hand pierced through my body. "Why...why?"

"Huh? Haven't you thought about the fact that we are no longer in the same dimension? You are different from ordinary vengeful spirits. This dimension is a bit higher, and your achievements are even higher than those of your other siblings." I took a step forward lightly, blood once again staining my body, but no one could see him without Perra's enveloping blood.

"I refuse to accept it! I refuse to accept it... We've already come this far, I need a body... a body!"

"Nana!" Perra was no longer of any use to Cain. Although Zhao Yuansong and the others were vampire dukes, they were not pure-blooded vampires and could not touch humans. I, on the other hand, am a human version. Lilith's contract would protect her, and the only choice in this cabin was Nana!

I held Nana's shoulder and pulled her towards me, and Cain happened to appear next to her, proving my speculation was correct. With just Nana and me, we couldn't completely avoid this vanishing vengeful spirit, but there was a way. However, Nana had already said she wasn't interested in me, would it be a bit too despicable? I didn't want the same thing to happen to Xiao Qiong again, nor did I want her to resent me.

"Qin Yang!" In Nana's eyes, there was me and at the same time, there was Cain. With Cain using his penetration ability, he passed through my body. Since Nana was unprepared, I was also conflicted. I could only blame myself for being careless!

"Nana!"

"Sister!"

Cain shed his blood and entered Nana's body, seemingly disappearing. The next few seconds felt so quiet in this space, as if Cain had never been here, only blood staining the ground.

"Uh..." I knew that Nana was engaged in an invisible struggle with Cain, but what can a young girl who won't live for more than a few hundred years do against an ancient relic that has existed for over a billion years? What use is there in fighting? The term "cunning as a fox" is more than enough to describe him.

So...even if it means being scolded as shameless and despicable, if Nana's body is used by Cain, there's no safety for me here!

"Hey, hey! Have you forgotten about me?"

"Bai, right now you can't even defeat the Fallen Angel Marshal head-on. Cain's abilities can transcend dimensions. We don't have a chance to find that voice!"

"Hmm... If you bring back too many ladies, I'm afraid Elena won't forgive you even if she dies."

"What? Speak up!"

"I'm afraid of the six... nations... grand... chancellor... ah!"

"Tsk~~"

I made up my mind and took two steps forward, pushing Nana towards the deck and kissing her forcefully.

"Nana... Nana... answer me, Nana... Nana..."

"Qin Yang!"

"You only made a contract with her now, how presumptuous!"

"Cain, hatred won't give you more power anymore. I am also a demon, and I have love for my son. I never wanted to go down this path!"

"Fa...ther!" Cain exclaimed in astonishment.

"Nana, time is running out. Promise me, make the contract. I beg you! You also need to truly face yourself! Emotions are not baggage, they don't need to be discarded!"

"......"

"Fine, hate me then!" I grabbed a thread in Nana's heart and showed her my thoughts and memories one by one. Gradually, a faint feeling appeared, and with that momentary feeling, I compelled the contract to be completed.
