Chapter 264: The Mystery of the Abyss!
The second main story: Origins of the Dark Moon.
This time, the key character of the Main Quest is Blacks Rex’s daughter, Sophitiya.
She triggered a special event called Dark Moon.
Under the Dark Moon, many things from the abyss crawled out.
And the main story this time is about Dark Moon.
The origin of Dark Moon can be traced back to an ancient empire 20,000 years ago in Rex’s era!
In this ancient empire, there was an emperor who was not as powerful as Rex, but he almost unified the entire Green Velon continent.
The emperor’s name was Emperor Abyss.
He performed an ancient ritual that merged the moon of another world with the moon of this world.
This opened a door to the abyss by connecting the two worlds.
He collaborated with some things from the abyss, using them to help him conquer lands and nearly unify the whole Green Velon continent!
However, he was ultimately defeated by the hero Sam, and the crack to the abyss was sealed.
Yet, Dark Moon did not end.
Till now, every few decades, the moons of two worlds will reach the same speed at a certain moment!
And when the two moons reach the same speed, their positions will gradually merge to open the Dark Moon!
When the moons merge, the gates of the abyss will open again.
Things in the abyss will crawl out again!
But at this time, players have already reached level three, making it much easier to defeat the monsters in the abyss.
Since there is no big boss this time, the main storyline was quickly resolved by the players.
And soon after, clues for the next main quest also appeared.
The third main quest: The Mystery of the Abyss.
As mentioned before, Sophitiya and the Dark Moon are directly related.
Although they had repelled Dark Moon before, Dark Moon would come back again.
Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate Dark Moon at its source.
So we need to first find out what the Dark Moon Ceremony is.
Through the efforts of the player army, they successfully destroyed a city and discovered another ancient city beneath it.
This ancient city is the one recorded in the Eternal Empire story, consisting of two layers, upper and lower.
However, this country has undergone countless destructions and reshuffles, deviating from the records.
In its history long ago, this country became a dual monarch system.
That is, a country divided into Upper City and Down City, with two kings.
The Abyss Emperor is the king of Down City, who overthrew Upper City to restore the country to a single monarch rule.
And after he died, no one lived in Down City anymore, and there was no other king.
All the residents moved to Upper City, and Down City became a relic, preserved until today.
However, through the players’ investigation, they discovered something quite interesting.
These people did not avoid Down City to preserve the relic, but because they were afraid of the monsters in the abyss of Down City.
These monsters have even made nests here and continue to harass Upper City generation after generation.
Among them, there is a female beast that is somehow related to Sophitiya!
After the players included this empire in the Human Alliance, they began to strategize Down City.
They broke through Down City and obtained some crucial information inside.
The Blood clan emerged from the abyss, originally dwelling in another world, locked in endless battles with their archenemies.
But the Blood clan is the weakest group among them.
They have many natural enemies, and because they can hardly defeat anyone, the Blood clan members are preparing to escape from this world.
Note that this Blood clan is very different from the current Blood clan and vampires!
Players are confused when they see the Blood clan for the first time and don’t know what kind of creature it is.
They are creatures with red eyes, black skin, white hair, hunched backs, and large bat wings, not even in human form.
They are very ugly and weak, and they feed on flesh and blood.
However, the image of the Blood clan changed over time.
An ancient member of the Blood clan came to this world through a forbidden ritual, only to find that the creatures in this world were quite weak!
But their blood contains a special power of some kind!
This type of creature is called humans.
The humans in this world later are descendants of those powerful beings from the Holy Realm, carrying extraordinary potential in their bloodline.
By drinking the blood of these humans, the figure of this Blood clan gradually transformed into the Blood clan we know now.
He peeled off the skin of humans and wore it on himself, becoming more and more like a human as time passed.
He had children with humans, causing the future Blood clan and vampires to all have the form of humans.
They integrated into human society and kept themselves hidden because even in this world dominated by humans, they were not considered strong.
In another world, the current strongest of the Blood clan is only at the seventh level.
When he arrived in this world, he was only at the fourth level.
But as he started drinking human blood, his power began to grow stronger gradually.
And he also classified the different blood qualities of humans, based on the purity level of their blood.
He divided human blood qualities into categories such as warriors, scholars, blacksmiths, workers, barbarians, and beasts.
These blood qualities can bring different powers to the Blood clan, making them smarter or stronger.
In fact, after reaching Three Transformations in the Scarlet School, their bodies will undergo some evolution leaning towards the Blood clan.
The first characteristic is fangs.
These fangs are hollow and connected to blood vessels, allowing them to directly transport the sucked blood to their own blood vessels.
They can also spit out their own blood from these fangs.
The Scarlet School players who have experienced the Three Transformations have already mastered information about blood qualities, so this is not a big deal.
Based on this, players have created a more advanced method of categorizing blood qualities.
For example, sucking the blood of fire mages can make vampires more resistant to fire and increase the power of blood magic.
Almost the same goes for other Elemental Mages. Vampires can gain resistance from the blood of different professions, along with corresponding bonus abilities.
But be aware, only Scarlet School players who have transformed three times have this ability to suck blood. This ability is not available before three transformations.
The weakness to sunlight only appears after players reach the Three Transformations stage. Before that, they are only slightly affected by UV rays.
But after reaching Three Transformations, sunlight can directly kill them!
So, one player thought, why not go nibble on the priests of the Radiance School?
If we could suck the blood of priests, we would have Light resistance and no longer fear sunlight, right?!
Then the brother turned to ashes.
A group of Scarlet School players saw this and covered their faces in disbelief.
Embarrassing!
So embarrassing!
Why do we have such silly people in our school?!
Goodness, is this child stupid?
Are you freaking drinking priest’s blood, why not just drink liquid mithril directly?
Yes, the priest’s blood contains elements of light, which is a deadly poison to vampires.
Even Rex dares not drink it, but you dare to, you’re so brave huh?
This is also a taboo for vampire players, we absolutely do not bite the priests of the Radiance School!
This is the type of bloodline, and bloodlines are divided into four levels.
The ranks are worst mixed blood, normal blood, excellent blood, flawless blood.
Flawless blood is the best, also the blood of a fire mage. Flawless blood can boost powers by five times!
However, flawless blood can only be obtained from NPCs, players can only get excellent blood at most.
Apart from these four ranks, vampires also have a unique type of blood.
That is pure blood.
It is the bloodline passed down directly from the ancestors of the Blood clan, in simple terms, it can transform any blood type.
It can change any warrior or mage blood into flawless pure blood.
The specific powers are unknown because no player has obtained it.
But players know who can be sucked.
That is Princess Sophitiya.
The players can gain pure blood as long as they can suck her blood.
But no one dares to move, not because they can’t win, nor because they fear death, which is a trivial matter for players.
It’s because they can’t resist pure blood.
Moreover, she is the top student of the Pretensions School, Lock King’s wife.
Be careful, or Lock King will lock your neck!
Turning back to the Blood clan, after several generations of reproduction in the initial Blood clan, he received a signal.
A signal from another world, from the same clan.
His clan members are calling for him, as they endure a life in that world that is as unbearable as hell.
To save their own clan, the Blood clan worked together with the people of this world to perform a ceremony.
Both worlds held a ceremony called Dark Moon, causing the moons of both worlds to align.
Until they merged at a certain point in time!
And thus, the gate to the abyss was opened!
Not only the Blood clan could come out from the gate!
This is the Dark Moon ceremony.
Therefore, to open or close the Dark Moon ceremony, a pure-blooded Blood clan member must perform the ceremony.
Clearly, Sophitiya is the key figure this time.
This is the third main storyline, the mystery of the abyss!
