An Ge smiled as she looked at Wu Ya's terrified expression at the end.
She wasn't exaggerating; once she had the ability to travel between different planes, she would definitely go back to see the Blue Star where she lived in her previous life.
As soon as An Ge returned to the living room, she saw the butler and the little boy kneeling down directly before her, saying, "Thank you for saving my life, Lady An."
"Aren't you Martin's most loyal butler? How come you're going against him?"
The butler chuckled and cried. “In fact, I am not anyone’s butler; I am the butler of this castle. Martin came to the castle ten years ago, murdered the former lord, and then took over the place.”
Because of my special status, and because there was no suitable person to handle the castle's affairs at the time, he didn't kill me. After ten years of effort, I also gained his trust.
"So, he has a connection with your former lord?"
The butler hadn't expected An Ge to guess the key point so quickly, and there was no need for him to hide it now. "Yes, his name is Il, and he is the only bloodline of the former master. The former lord and his wife treated me very well. After he was murdered, I found an opportunity to hide Il. I've been hiding him for ten years."
Clutching his mother's portrait, Il stood timidly behind the butler. He remembered her; he had initially wanted her to leave quickly, but unexpectedly, she was the one who avenged him in the end.
Thinking of this, Il was no longer afraid of Ange and looked at her gratefully.
Hearing about Il's tragic past, Ange felt a pang of sadness.
Even though vampires can't be as old as humans, Il is still just a cub now, let alone ten years ago. Even with the butler's care, he can barely survive.
Ange finally understood why Il was willing to be discovered to retrieve the portrait.
"What are you going to do after this? Let Il inherit this castle?"
The butler hesitated. "Il's power is insufficient to become the master of the castle; on the contrary, he would be in danger. I... I haven't figured out what to do yet. If all else fails, let him continue to hide."
Vampires have little sense of private property, which is why Martin was able to defeat Il's father and become the lord of this castle.
“We’ll talk about that later. Right now, Martin hasn’t been caught yet, and you’re all in danger.”
The butler hesitated for a moment before saying, "He definitely didn't leave the castle. There's a special energy outside the castle; if anyone were to enter or leave, both the castle lord and I would have been detected."
An Ge thought of that forbidden area, "Do you know what that forbidden area is?"
The butler seemed to have realized something as well. "I only know that the place was sealed off after Martin became the lord of the castle. It turns out that it was just a cemetery."
After asking the housekeeper a few more questions, An Ge told them to go and get ready.
After the two left, Beaton asked uncertainly, "Does Lord Ann suspect Martin of being in that forbidden area?"
"It's not doubt, it's certain. We just don't know what's special about that place, but we've taken down all the statues. No matter how powerful the gods are, they won't be able to get involved for the time being, right?"
Ange firmly refused Bitton's accompaniment and walked towards the forbidden area alone.
Because the statue was destroyed, the power of the garden's rules has weakened considerably.
An Ge arrived at the forbidden area with familiarity, opened the door, and was immediately chilled by a cold aura.
She was wearing a monastic robe, which should have been enough to keep her from the coldest weather, but the aura emanating from her was so powerful that even the robe couldn't conceal it.
The last time I had this feeling was when I was fighting Yu Xinghe and he unleashed the Ten Thousand Ghosts Crying Formation.
But when An Ge used her Detective Eye, she did not find the existence of a soul.
The forbidden area was shrouded in mist, and An Ge was certain that there were no formations here.
As soon as I stepped into the mist, the dimensional seed within my body seemed to have encountered something unpleasant, and the newly sprouted buds drooped.
The deathly aura, the dense deathly aura, mixed with the smell of decay, made An Ge feel somewhat uncomfortable.
The deeper she went, the more intense the deathly aura became. In the distance, she seemed to see a statue of a god.
Compared to the statue in Martin's room, this statue was two or three meters tall, and even before getting close, Ango seemed to feel a strong gaze upon it.
The statue seemed to come alive, looking down at An Ge.
An Ge's heart skipped a beat; she had a bad feeling. The next second, a powerful force was aimed directly at her face. Before she could react, An Ge was pierced through.
"Haha, I thought you were so powerful, but you were still killed by my God in one move." At this moment, Martin's smug laughter suddenly rang out in the empty environment.
He felt a great sense of relief as he watched An Ge fall to the ground.
Although this attack cost most of the divine power accumulated over the past decade, it was still worthwhile to eliminate Ango.
Martin approached Ange, intending to turn her corpse into a puppet, when he saw that Ange, who had been completely dead, suddenly turned into a doll.
"A substitute puppet?" Instantly, Martin realized he had been tricked.
Just as he came to his senses, he felt a sharp blade pierce his chest. An Ge, who had thought he was going to die, stood behind him, looking at him with a fierce gaze.
The instant the statue launched its attack, An Ge knew she couldn't dodge it, so she quickly used her substitute doll to block the blow.
Fortunately, she hadn't refused when Wang Jun paid for the food. She had wanted to save these good things for later use, but she had used them up before even leaving the castle.
Ange felt a little regretful, and her resentment towards Martin and the deity behind him deepened.
The Azure Flame's damage to enemies goes beyond the surface; it strikes straight to the soul. Even vampires, impervious to blades and spears, cannot escape the Azure Flame's attack.
Martin was acting like a madman. His ten years of planning had been ruined by An Ge in one day, and one can imagine the resentment in his heart.
Ange watched as Martin's resentment materialized and was completely absorbed by the statue.
"As expected of an evil god, it doesn't even spare the resentment of its followers." An Ge drew his Azure Flame, his eyes flashing as he looked at the statue.
"I! Refuse! To! Be! Convinced! You have already entered the realm of gods, and soon you will be able to join me." After saying this, Martin breathed his last.
In the last second before Martin fell, the divine power that had been mostly depleted by the attack suddenly dissipated, and then, a rustling sound came from behind the statue.
Then, one by one, distorted figures emerged. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be monsters that were not human-shaped.
"Oh my god!" An Ge was stunned by the scene and quickly grabbed Qingyan and rushed over, only to find that she had missed her target.
An Ge then realized that the monsters exuded a thick aura of death and had no physical form. They had long since lost their souls, greatly weakening the destructive power of the Azure Flame.
Moreover, protected by divine power, monsters cannot be destroyed by swords or blades, and are impervious to water and fire.
Under the onslaught of countless monsters, An Ge was forced to retreat step by step. When she saw that there was nowhere left to go, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Although these monsters possess divine power, they are ultimately nothing more than a mass of death energy. Only the power of life can counteract death energy.
