Chapter 413: Peace Envoy (Part 6)

“We can use magic, so we are already superior beings.”

“Now that even our bodies have evolved, we will become a new kind of humanity.”

“This is the merciful evolution!”

The woman in red spread her arms, speaking with fervent enthusiasm.

“What do you mean? Only magic users get to evolve?”

“What about me? I paid you so much money!”

Before Samimi could get anxious, Count Perry, standing nearby, grew more and more uneasy. As the only ordinary person present, he panicked first.

“A noisy monkey.”

The woman in red slapped him, sending Count Perry sprawling to the ground.

“You… I spent my entire fortune… even lost my son…”

Count Perry glared, struggled to draw his sword, and nearly vomited blood in fury.

But the next second, that “Brother Star” with the burn-scarred face suddenly bit Count Perry’s neck and started draining his blood on the spot.

How could Count Perry resist? Like a rabbit caught in a tiger’s jaws, he was quickly drained dry.

“Our society’s principle is that only magic users are qualified to undergo the Blood Trial.”

“Lower-class people are only fit to be our servants.”

The woman in red smiled.

“Archbishop Samimi, if you were willing to join our society, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.”

“We could even slowly infiltrate the Church from within.”

“Sooner or later, the entire kingdom will be yours for the taking.”

“Can you answer one question for me first?”

Samimi asked calmly.

“I’m happy to answer any questions about joining.”

“But as for the deeper secrets of the society, I cannot reveal them until you officially become a comrade.”

The woman in red replied.

“Do you still need to drink human blood?”

“Is it possible to develop artificial blood to replace human blood?”

Samimi pressed on.

“Useful! Very sharp!”

“That’s actually our next research topic!”

“But unfortunately, we never thought in that direction before!”

The woman in red exclaimed, her tone exaggerated.

“As expected of Archbishop Samimi!”

“The questions you raise are truly high-level!”

“Well, sorry to disappoint.”

“Even without your help, the Church will be mine sooner or later.”

“My mother, my sister, my loyal sisters and brothers—they are scattered across the monarchy, the Continental Magic Academy, the Southern Adventurer Association, Black Street…”

“The entire kingdom is full of my pawns.”

“Even the king doesn’t have as much power as I do.”

“Why would I need the help of filthy things like you?”

Samimi curled her lips and sneered disdainfully.

“So… does that mean negotiations have broken down?”

The woman in red’s smile vanished instantly.

“Your personalities haven’t degraded, but your humanity wasn’t noble to begin with.”

“If you could really develop a potion that grants power without needing to drink blood or eat people, I’d invite you to be the Pope.”

“But unfortunately, your goal is still to invade the kingdom and turn everyone into blood bags.”

“And the entire kingdom is full of my people and my influence.”

“How could I possibly join a petty society like yours?”

Samimi’s words dripped with sarcasm.

“What a pity.”

“But Archbishop Samimi, your family can also join the Eternal Life Plan.”

“Think about your mother.”

“Won’t you reconsider?”

The woman in red still hadn’t given up trying to persuade her.

“Are you threatening me?”

“Don’t think I can’t see through you.”

“I also studied at the Continental Magic Academy.”

“You’re just a bunch of failures without magical talent.”

“You delved into these crooked paths just to pursue power.”

“A bunch of overgrown babies.”

“What great achievements can come from associating with trash like you?”

Samimi snorted coldly, mocking without mercy.

“…”

The woman in red finally fell completely silent.

Her face darkened beyond recognition.

“What are you waiting for?”

“Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

“Do you think numbers matter?”

“Come at me all at once!”

Samimi shouted sternly, her aura overwhelming.

“Hehehe~”

“Do you think I’d talk this much with you and let you leave alive?”

The woman in red bared a sinister grin once more.

“We’ve already thoroughly analyzed all your techniques.”

“If we weren’t confident in taking down a Demon-Hunting Nun like you, why would we lure you here?”

“Even the Blood Empress couldn’t defeat me.”

“And you think half-baked things like you can?”

Samimi retorted coldly.

“Don’t worry. The fun is just beginning.”

“Let me first show you the appetizer I specially prepared for you.”

The woman in red pulled out magic scrolls from behind her.

“?”

Samimi frowned.

Now that’s a relic.

Magic scrolls are magical tools that can record spells, allowing magic users to cast quickly.

But due to their complex production process and a subtle feeling of being “redundant,” they were extremely impractical.

That’s why these things were almost obsolete.

Because in the end, magic scrolls still needed a magic user to activate.

If ordinary people could use them, they would truly be divine artifacts.

But unfortunately, they couldn’t.

Even Academy mages who used such things might be ridiculed by their peers.

Only half-baked magic users relied on these gadgets.

Without another word, the woman in red unfurled the magic scroll.

The scroll was covered in blasphemous runes written in blood.

Then she infused it with blood-colored mana and activated the evil spell.

Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…

Thick blood mist burst from the evil scroll, rapidly spreading around.

And this was exactly the source of the anomaly that Fabiana and Niubao had seen earlier.

“What kind of spell is this…”

For a moment, Samimi couldn’t analyze it.

Because the foundational magic formulas of blood magic and elemental magic were completely different.

Normal magic relied on absorbing pure mana from the world to drive it.

Blood magic, on the other hand, drew power by defiling life and sacrificing blood.

In a sense—

Vampires themselves were highly efficient human-shaped magical devices that drove sacrificial magic.

Still, there was ultimately a gap in raw power.

Samimi’s mana perception could clearly judge the enemy’s magical level.

Even if they had become half-kin and mastered blood magic, they were still no match for her.

Even more so—

In front of a Demon-Hunting Nun, vampires themselves were a negative buff.

She was a battle priest specialized in hunting the Blood Clan.

Both Holy Flame and Solar Flame were divine skills that countered vampires.

But…

She still didn’t know what effect this blood mist had.

Because in the end, it just drifted away with the wind without actively attacking Samimi.

It was utterly baffling.

“Hah! Hah hah!”

Suddenly, Count Perry, who had been drained and fallen to the ground, began convulsing violently.

He twisted and struggled to his feet.

Saliva dripped nonstop.

His eyeballs bulged nearly out of their sockets.

His face was twisted and horrifying.

At the same time, from the large battlefield behind Samimi, a series of spine-chilling wails and screams came echoing.

Only then did Samimi finally understand the purpose of that magic scroll.

“Detonate Corpse Poison.”

The woman in red casually tossed the now-useless magic scroll aside, a creepy smile on her face.

“What’s your name?”

Samimi suddenly asked.

“Archbishop Samimi is actually asking for my name?”

“What an honor!”

“But I don’t have a real name.”

“You can call me by my code name—Red Doctor.”

The woman in red smiled as she replied.

“But I have to properly introduce to you…”

“What you’re about to face.”

“Doctor.”

“You’ve made me angry.”

Samimi said coldly.

“Archbishop Samimi, it’s also an honor to be your enemy.”

Red Doctor laughed wildly as she slowly split open her own abdomen.

No wonder her dress had so little fabric.

There was even a large opening in the stomach area, revealing her navel.

It wasn’t for sex appeal.

It actually had a purpose.

The next second—

Something bizarre slowly crawled out from inside her body.

“Hell Bible.”
