Lichtenstein Castle, second floor, bedroom.

Princess Alexia sat on the edge of the bed, her listless eyes reflecting endless despair, like a caged bird awaiting death.

Hearing the faint sounds from the ground floor, she knew the vampire earl had arrived.

Soon, the earl would kill everyone in the chapel, then come to the second floor to find her.

However.

Her gaze turned to the window, and through the beautiful carved window frame, she saw that the sky was gradually brightening!

Then, Alexia moved. She slowly walked to the window, her hand gently touching the cold glass.

Her haggard and astonished face was faintly reflected on the glass, but even on the second floor, she could feel the warm glow overflowing from the first floor. This light passed through every piece of glass in the chapel, as if it had the power to illuminate the entire courtyard and even the mountains and forests!

The sky was deep and mysterious. This night seemed to be burning with a soft flame.

"This light... it's actually... actually like the real sun..."

Her voice was weak but persistent in the air, as if praying to a savior who existed only in fantasy.

"Is this your power..."

Alexia could no longer hide the emotion on her face.

This was the first time she began to doubt—

That Lan Qi's every word was not a lie.

Although common sense told the world that the sun could not rise at midnight.

But it seemed that the intuition permeating her limbs and bones was telling her that this light might really possess the power to overwhelm the blood moon.

…

At the same time, in the real world, at the Gera Memorial Plaza of Ikryte Academy.

With the open-air giant screen as the center.

The diffused light coated the night world with a charming luster.

At this moment, the pure white open-air giant screen seemed to become the center of the campus. It occupied the sight of all the students, and seemed to take away everyone's voice, making them watch the somewhat dazzling crystal screen in complete silence.

The students sitting on the steps of the square, holding hot drinks, stared at the giant screen.

Their eyes flickered with shock, surprise, confusion, and excitement!

Although they could easily see that the card Lan Qi used was the orange epic magic card [Radiant Virtue] he completed in the Registered Card Master exam, which could summon a small sun with extreme brightness and no damage to interfere with the sight of all targets, and the radiant effect gradually increased in a closed space, while the visual radiant effect gradually weakened in open terrain.

But from beginning to end, no one thought it would be like the real sun!

However, Count Palocas's shrill roar was the most authoritative certification.

[Radiant Virtue] was not only effective against vampires, but also unparalleled!

"Why, why does his [Radiant Virtue] have the power of the sun!"

Finally, a student spoke, asking in disbelief.

Even if Lan Qi gave it the shape and attributes of the sun, it would only be a false sun after all.

Unless, the materials used to make this magic card were essentially related to the sun!

"Could it be that the unnamed light elemental stone originally came from the sun? But... how did Lan Qi recognize it?"

Even though they couldn't understand too many things at the moment, they knew that the familiar feeling was back, all back!

The challenger side sounded the counterattack horn again!

"Principal Lan! Teach the vampire earl a lesson!"

"Let the vampires see the might of our humans!"

Suddenly, cheers and shouts of support like a tsunami rang out in Gera Memorial Plaza.

…

Lichtenstein Castle, inside the chapel that had been transformed into pure white glass.

"I come from the human race, and I will do my best for the human race."

Lan Qi seemed to be able to hear the shouts of his classmates in Ikryte campus, and muttered to himself.

And far from the banquet table where he was.

Under the impact of the incandescent light, Count Palocas's body was plated with a silvery-white color. His already pale skin became as thin as paper, revealing the color of blood vessels, as if it would break with a slight touch!

"Take this punch!"

The executioner strode on the stone slabs of the chapel, each step like a hammer hitting Count Palocas's heart. The giant axe in the executioner's hand slashed towards Count Palocas with violent power, almost tearing the air apart.

At the moment the axe fell, Count Palocas's eyes were still in too much pain to open. His fighting instinct made him raise his arms with all his strength to block.

With a boom!

Sparks splashed, and a loud noise like metal collision erupted. The earl managed to block the axe with his seventh-order physical quality, but his figure was like a small boat shaking in a storm, and he took several steps back.

"Despicable humans!!!"

Count Palocas roared in disbelief.

Was this the so-called "take this punch"? The shameless ax fighter was bullying him now that he had lost his sight!

The earl's sleeves were torn, and two hideous wounds remained on his forearms. His hands were trembling painfully.

"Take my sword, Earl."

Before the earl could react, the magnificent and righteous voice of the Holy Knight also sounded behind the earl.

He did not know when he had stood on the other side of the light, his silver armor plated with a golden luster by the sunlight, and he held a holy light sword in his hand that seemed to illuminate the world.

Every step he took closer was like a rhythmic drum beat, deeply striking Count Palocas's heart.

The sound of the sword tip scraping across the ground grew closer, and the pressure it brought made Count Palocas wary in the darkness where he could not open his eyes, as if the sea was submerging a ship.

However, the Holy Knight had already thrown away the sword in his hand and launched a fierce charge towards the earl. With the sound of the sword hilt landing, the Holy Knight's hands had already smashed horizontally on both sides of Count Palocas's temples, causing Count Palocas to faint and almost fall down.

The male guard stood like a ghost in the corner, the short sword in his hand flashing with cold light.

Count Palocas already felt a little delirious. Before he could recover, he felt a chill of death coming from in front of him.

Before he could guess what kind of attack this was, the male guard held the short sword in both hands and slammed it down on Palocas's skull.

"Pain pierces the sky!"

The great poetess, from afar, used her cheerful and sweet voice to provide commentary for the trio's attacks.

She seemed to be so happy that she was about to dance, waving her slender arms behind the banquet table like a cheerleader, cheering for the main players in the front row.

"You bastard succubus—!!! Don't let me catch you!!!"

Count Palocas's bones were gradually deformed in various underhanded attacks. He was so angry that he wanted to die but had nowhere to vent! His skin could not withstand the sharp blades after all, and blood rolled out like boiling water!
