Chapter 380: Chapter 269: Mythical Recruitment! Arrival of the True Vampire Ancestor

The Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly also sensed that this petal was unusual. It fluttered restlessly on Su Xuan’s shoulder, occasionally letting out faint chirps as if warning him.

"?"

Their reactions surprised Su Xuan. ’Could this private petal from the White Rose Valkyrie be some kind of evil object?’

"This isn’t good... What does this mean?"

Full of questions, Su Xuan turned to Viora.

"I’m not too sure either, but I have a feeling this petal might bring disaster," Viora replied, her face full of worry. "President, if you can, you should return it to its owner."

"..."

Su Xuan fell into a brief silence. ’If he had the ability to return it, he wouldn’t have waited this long.’

He pressed on, "So, is there a difference in quality between this petal and the others?"

Viora answered immediately, "The quality of this petal far surpasses the others. Even the other seven combined are nothing compared to it."

"?"

A flicker of astonishment went through Su Xuan as he listened to Viora’s explanation.

’Does that mean this private petal from the White Rose Valkyrie is a Mythical quality item?’

He ventured a bold thought. ’If an item made from seven Valkyrie Petals can summon a phantom of a Valkyrie, then this private petal... could it summon the White Rose Valkyrie herself?’

But he quickly shook his head, dismissing the idea.

’The White Rose Valkyrie is already one of the Gods. It’s impossible for her to appear on the Magic Continent.’

’But there seem to be special exceptions, like... the Elf Mother Tree and the Mother of Demons?’

"Okay, I’ll be careful."

Su Xuan put the Valkyrie Petals into his inventory, but he felt uneasy. Viora’s warning kept replaying in his mind.

’Will that private petal from the White Rose Valkyrie really bring disaster?’

’Then again, judging from his last encounter with the White Rose Valkyrie... the Valkyrie herself might be a walking disaster.’

Su Xuan sighed, pulling his thoughts away from the petal and turning his attention to his trait library.

He had now obtained all the Vampire Ancestor Paintings, and he still hadn’t used the [Demon King] Additional Trait.

Wait.

Su Xuan suddenly remembered he hadn’t turned in his quest yet, and immediately opened the quest panel.

[High-Difficulty Quest: Star Transformation!]

[Quest Description: Support a ’King’ to ascend the throne of the Star Kingdom!]

[Quest Reward: Star God Stone]

[Hidden Quest: ???]

’Is it because no one has ascended the throne yet?’

Su Xuan looked at the still-in-progress quest and pondered for a moment.

Just ensuring Edith’s faction had the absolute upper hand in the succession wasn’t enough to complete the quest; he had to witness an heir actually take the throne.

However, the quest reward was already visible, which was some consolation.

He curiously examined the reward, the Star God Stone, but the quest interface provided no information about it—only a picture.

’Perhaps I can ask the royal family of the Star Kingdom if they know anything about the Star God Stone.’

As he mused, Su Xuan shifted his attention to the vampire painting.

The second painting had upgraded the [Vampire] trait to [Virgin Vampire]. He wondered what change the third vampire painting would bring.

Su Xuan took out two of the vampire paintings. In that instant, both paintings suddenly erupted with a dazzling light before merging into one.

At the same time, a notification popped up in Su Xuan’s vision:

[The third Vampire Ancestor Painting has been collected!]

[The Virgin Vampire] trait is transforming into [...]

[Please choose one of the following three traits (cannot be refreshed)]

[Abnormal] [Lesser Abnormal] [Greater Abnormal]

"?"

Seeing the three traits before him, Su Xuan’s expression immediately turned grim.

’These three traits are even worse than the previous [Virgin] trait!’

But reality was what it was, and he had to make a choice.

’There doesn’t seem to be much of a difference between any of them, so I might as well just pick [Abnormal]!’

With a flicker of intent, Su Xuan made his choice.

[The Virgin Vampire] trait has transformed into—[Abnormal Virgin Vampire]!

"..."

Su Xuan stared at the new trait with incredibly mixed feelings.

’And when combined with the other traits in my library...’

’[An Abnormal Virgin Vampire Companion with a Masochistic Physique and the Blood of the God of Sexual Desire]?’

’It looks a little strange, but there’s nothing I can do about it now.’

’I just have to hope the bonuses from these traits will boost her combat power. A weird personality isn’t completely unacceptable!’

Su Xuan took a deep breath and pulled the purple Recruitment Scroll from his inventory.

The moment he took out the Recruitment Scroll, the eyes of Lucia and the others focused on him in unison.

They knew very well that whenever Su Xuan took out a Recruitment Scroll, it meant the Guild was about to get a new member.

As everyone watched, Su Xuan tossed the Recruitment Scroll into the air.

In an instant, a dazzling, multicolored light burst forth like a firework.

Then, as if several brilliant meteors were streaking across the sky, they traced beautiful arcs through the air.

[Your choice is—An Abnormal Virgin Vampire Companion with a Masochistic Physique and the Blood of the God of Sexual Desire!]

[Recruiting a suitable Adventurer...]

[No suitable Adventurer found!]

"?"

Huh?

Su Xuan froze when he saw the notification.

’Did... did the recruitment fail?’

But before he could process it, another notification popped up:

[An Adventurer has been summoned to the Guild for you!]

"Hm?"

Su Xuan’s brow furrowed as he saw the new notification.

’Didn’t it just say no suitable Adventurer was found? How is it now...’

Before he could finish the thought, the Guild hall suddenly lit up with a dazzling light.

Then, a heavy object materialized from within the light and fell onto the Guild’s wooden floor with a heavy THUD.

When the others saw what had fallen, their expressions turned serious, tinged with a hint of confusion.

Because, what appeared before them was not an Adventurer, but a... silver coffin?

The surface of this coffin was etched with intricate patterns, every detail speaking to its extraordinary craftsmanship. Even more eye-catching, however, were the numerous blood-red gems inlaid upon it. They glittered with an eerie light, as scarlet as fresh blood.

"The Guild’s new member... is actually a coffin!?"

Alice covered her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief.

"That’s obviously impossible!" Su Xuan immediately cut off Alice’s wild train of thought. He spoke as he slowly approached the coffin, lightly tapping its surface with a finger.

He could confirm that the coffin was made of silver. ’But don’t Vampires hate silver?’

’Why would a True Vampire Ancestor’s coffin be made of silver?’

Furthermore, he tried to communicate with the two True Vampire Ancestors residing in his soul, but he received no response.

’Does that mean I really did summon the True Vampire Ancestor?’

’But the question is... why is it just a coffin?’

Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, Rosaline drew the Oath Sword from her hip. She stared at the coffin and asked in a low voice, "Should I split it open and take a look?"

"Don’t!" Su Xuan immediately stopped her. Rosaline’s methods were a bit extreme.

But before his voice had faded, Lucia touched the edge of the coffin lid with her slender fingertips, then gave it a light push.

The sealed lid slid open easily, revealing the coffin’s contents to everyone.

But once the coffin was open, everyone only grew more confused.

Inside the coffin lay a quiet, golden-haired loli. She wasn’t wearing a stitch of clothing, with only a few red ribbons covering parts of her skin. On her feet, however, she wore a pair of small, snow-white socks, which seemed a little... jarring?

The moment Su Xuan saw her, he was certain: this was the True Vampire Ancestor, Kanlutia.

Then...

’Where’s the other True Vampire Ancestor?’

Just as Su Xuan was wondering, information about Kanlutia popped up in his view:

[Kanlutia/Kanlutis (Mythical)]

0~100?

’Does this number represent combat power? Or...’
