"Ernie, have you made up your mind?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
In the unhurried silence, a fiery fire elemental lord opened her eyes... Known as [Ernie], she was one of the outcasts of the elemental world, the one who, along with Raphael, had been eager to save the world.
But at this moment, she sat quietly in the place that was originally "home".
"Ernie?"
A magnetic, androgynous voice emanated from the crimson crystal before her, as if reminding her of something, and continued, "If you wish, you can use the Blood Realm as a springboard to the Prime Material Plane and lend a hand to the Celestial Knights."
"..."
However, Ernie did not answer him; she stared blankly at the ground beneath her feet… She had been like this ever since her conversation with Vereesa.
I don't know what she's thinking.
"are you going?"
Urged on by the blood crystals, Ernie gently closed her eyes, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Vlad...where is your [home] now?"
This seemingly random question puzzled the voice called "Vlad" within the blood crystal for a moment before it answered seriously, "I was born in the Prime Material Plane, so my home is also in the Prime Material Plane."
"..."
"Your family members are all gone, aren't they? What should have been a 'home' is now completely empty..."
As Ernie spoke, she looked around and shared her thoughts, saying, "On that old site, other people chose to build their own 'homes,' and that's what a home is... It's not our home, it's someone else's."
Blood Crystal: "Is that so? Then, where is our home?"
Ernie shook her head at the voice. Looking at everything that was both familiar and strange before her, she said decisively, "We have no home. Our home... was destined to be etched into the past the moment we became outsiders."
"..."
To be honest, I didn't really understand why Ernie was saying so many irrelevant things, based on the voice inside the blood crystal...
"So, are you still going to the prime material plane? Don't you want to protect the world anymore?"
Ernie pondered the voice emanating from the blood crystal for a moment, then seemed to make a decision. She first shook her head, then nodded, and before the other party could understand what she meant, she said, "Thank you for your trouble. I need to go to the Prime Material Plane."
As soon as she finished speaking, a blood-red portal opened from the blood-red crystal... This was the passage to the Blood Realm, just like how the vampires of the Prime Material Plane went to the Blood Realm.
Moreover, the Blood Realm has a great advantage as a springboard for other worlds. As a non-Nine Realms, the Blood Realm can often ignore the rules of the Nine Heavens and Nine Nights and jump between the Nine Realms.
Even so, during the journey, one's strength will be limited and will decrease even more significantly.
The moment Ernie stepped into the Blood Realm, she could smell the strong stench of blood. She looked around at the buildings that resembled blood-red glass, and finally her gaze settled on the handsome man.
"Vlad, you don't seem to want to save the world."
Based on Ernie's understanding of this vampire outside the conventional sense, he would never be the kind of person who cares about the continuation of the World Tree... If the Blood Realm is not affected by this, then he will undoubtedly adopt an attitude of "it's none of my business."
It's actually quite abnormal for someone to be so enthusiastic about "saving the world" like this.
"Of course, my goals are much smaller than yours; I don't even have any designs on that Iraq..."
Vlad responded, sipping the red liquid from his teacup, "I'm very interested in that castle in hell, and activating it requires the blood of a succubus... That's all I want."
Ernie had no opinion on this, nor did she intend to comment.
Ernie looked
In the bustling world of vampires, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Isn't what you're doing a violation of the rules? There are vampires from the prime material plane here, aren't there?"
Yes, the vampires who fled from the prime plane are all here now... Except for the one who has been captured by the Demon King's territory and imprisoned in the demiplane prison, the vampires are all in the Blood Realm, waiting for the moment to return to the Demon King's territory.
Or, to put it another way, it could be something like "dreaming of returning to the Demon King's territory."
"You have no right to judge me. I just want to save some of my people."
Despite saying this, the vampire outsider showed not a trace of pity for his fellow vampires in his eyes or brows; only a hint of "interesting" emotion was revealed... In other words, this outsider was also one of those who enjoyed watching the fun.
He acted out of a desire for fun, just like Vereesa and the others, except he chose a different method to have fun...
This world is truly beyond saving...
"No, I don't intend to break the rules."
Ernie spoke, revealing her thoughts to the other person's questioning gaze, saying, "I just want to go to the Prime Material Plane and see... just like Vereesa and the others."
In other words, is it just a trip for tourism?
The vampire outsider wasn't offended by this. He gave an amused smile and casually asked, "So, what prompted you to have such an idea? Is it that... this world isn't worth saving?"
Is it not worth it? Perhaps.
However, something else seems to be unworthy of attention.
