"Mr. Victor, are we just leaving like this?"
Stepping out of the basement, the bright sunlight shone on Victor's dark suit, illuminating his calm and expressionless face.
"Of course not."
Victor turned back and looked toward the stairwell in the basement.
“Although they made mistakes, they preferred to shift the blame to others, especially their own people.”
After all, as members of the same race, they weren't too worried about humans eating them.
"Unless, the other party is not human."
...
Seemingly driven to the brink, the man's body began to deform and twist.
Like a deflated balloon, his human shell began to peel away.
Immediately afterwards, a mass of black, viscous substance with twisted shapes was exposed on the ground, emitting a terrifying growl of mud and bits of flesh mixed together.
This sudden change turned everyone present pale; their eyes widened in terror.
"Strange! It's a monster!!!"
Glug!
A heavy, foul-smelling roar echoed through the air, terrifying the residents so much that their legs went weak.
They frantically searched for an exit, wanting to escape this place.
But suddenly, they realized that the angry, terrifying creature had not attacked them.
The monster was immobilized and unable to move an inch.
Suddenly, they noticed.
On the ground beneath that monster, there was a magic circle woven with azure magic.
Like chains, it was trapped in place.
It was unable to move.
...
"But how will they react when they realize that the monster before them is harmless and is the very source of their misfortune?"
...
After the residents realized that the monster was imprisoned in the basement and unable to move, their initial fear gradually dissipated like smoke.
As the thick fog dissipated, the anger, a mixture of excitement and shame, almost transformed into a raging inferno.
"Kill it! Kill it!"
"Yes! We must kill it!"
The residents turned back from the iron gate and, without hesitation, took down handfuls of torture instruments from the basement walls.
They even took the chains, tables, and chairs.
Countless instruments of torture were transformed into weapons in the hands of the residents, who launched a unified attack on the immobile monster.
...
"In the end, when they defeated the monster, everyone felt a great sense of relief."
Viktor gripped his cane tightly, the sounds of brutal, bloody battles echoing in his ears from the basement.
He said calmly:
“They will feel relieved, believing that they have absolved themselves of their previous mistakes.”
"They might even feel a sense of accomplishment."
As the noise below gradually subsided, Viktor's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Because they would think..."
...
"We did it! We killed the monster!"
The residents gathered around the monster's corpse, which had been beaten beyond recognition, and some of them even spat on the body in a fit of rage.
"It's this damned monster, it's definitely the one that bewitched us."
"I knew it! How could I possibly think the lord is a vampire? He's always been so good to us!"
"Yes! That must be it!"
In this way, they successfully washed away their guilt.
...
"And he turned into a staunch supporter of Priscilla."
Viktor said this with a calm smile on his lips.
"Perhaps this time, I should thank these believers who have blended into the crowd."
The demi-humans exchanged confused glances, clearly not understanding Victor's intention.
The human mind is just too complicated.
Seeing this, Viktor casually warned them:
"No need to investigate further."
"Just believe that your lord will win this territorial battle rightfully."
Having said that, Victor elegantly took out his pocket watch, glanced at it casually, and calmly announced:
Let's go.
"As the protagonist, it's time to enjoy that wonderful drama."
...
Followed by the female tiger-woman, Priscilla walked to the church of the Church of Abundance.
The Church of Abundance, a magnificent cathedral located in the heart of Shulbourne.
The towering, golden building was enormous, covering a vast area.
Standing in front of the church, one can hardly see the end of it when looking to either side.
It shone brightly under the brilliant sunshine, and its dazzling golden light illuminated the surrounding earth in a magnificent way.
It resembles a sacred and noble castle, exuding a unique gentleness.
It is decorated with Gothic stained glass windows, the dazzling colors exuding a ghostly splendor, adding a touch of magnificence to this solemn building.
Standing before this dazzling church, fine beads of sweat appeared on Priscilla's forehead.
The long walk gave her originally pale face a healthy rosy glow.
Despite being a vampire, Priscilla has never tasted blood.
Therefore, physical strength has always been her weakness.
Although she had been practicing martial arts with the female tiger-woman beside her for ten years
However, for a martial arts master who needs time to mature, ten years is really not enough.
Having no other choice, and in order not to disturb the residents who were going about their normal lives, she still chose to walk there.
The effect of this approach is quite obvious; ordinary people rarely pay much attention to people using parasols on the street.
Although Priscilla was accompanied by a tiger-man.
