Miss Witch's Devotion Has Gone… Twisted-Chapter 240: Blood Moon Condensation

"Alright."

Loren reached his hands under Lilith's armpits, lifted her up, and placed her back on the ground. This method of helping her stand gave Loren the distinct feeling of playing with a dress-up doll.

"Sister Lilith, you haven't changed one bit since the last time we met."

Seraphina looked at Lilith's childish appearance and sighed with emotion.

"Vampires have very long lifespans. Even the lowest-level vampire lives for hundreds of years."

Loren interrupted Seraphina's nostalgic sentiment with a rational statement. Looking at Lilith, he felt something was missing.

"When I have time, I'll take you to buy a few outfits."

"Really? Can I?"

Lilith glanced at the clothes she was wearing. Although clean, the worn-out feeling couldn't be washed away.

"When did you buy these clothes?"

"I forgot."

Loren wasn't surprised by Lilith's answer, nor did he plan to ask her anything more. After all, she didn't remember anything.

"Let's go tomorrow. Today, I need to study some magic."

Facing a crisis, improving his own strength was most important. Loren opened the magic book brought by Ofemia. The first page contained exactly the magic he was looking for.

"First-tier magic, 【Blood Moon Condensed Light】."

The introduction to the magic was only a single page long. Loren just glanced at it and memorized it.

Blood magic didn't have the anti-self-study mechanism set up by the Orthodox Gods' Church. Although not as simple and convenient as the methods Loren developed himself, it was still easy enough to learn.

Especially since this was a first-tier magic. A few minutes later, Loren had successfully mastered it.

Loren equipped the Vampire Fang and the Purest Blood on his person, took out his magic wand, and pointed it at the wall.

Mana gathered at the tip of the wand, shooting out a crimson beam of light. The principle of Blood Moon Condensed Light was to directly output mana, transforming it into an energy attack. Its effects were varied—it could cut, burn, or even transform directly into a Kamehameha wave.

As Loren waved his wand, the words "Loren was here" were carved in large characters on the hotel's vase. As Loren increased his energy output, the crimson light instantly thickened, completely engulfing the vase.

When Loren ceased the attack, the vase had completely vanished, but the table holding the vase and the wall behind it remained completely unscathed.

An ordinary vampire certainly couldn't achieve this, but Loren's control over magic was terrifyingly precise. If he said he would cut off everyone's ears, he wouldn't sever a single extra hair.

"Let's try again."

This time, Loren didn't use his wand. Instead, he took out Requiem.

Loren drew Requiem. A crimson light immediately enveloped a statue in front of him. When the light dissipated, the statue had transformed into an extremely standard square, flawless.

Immediately after, another crimson beam shot out. This time, the square transformed back into a small, exquisite statue. It depicted the very image of the Dawn Princess Loren had seen before, identical to the statue he encountered, only vastly different in size.

"Not bad."

Loren was quite satisfied with the magic's effect. He had already tested its precision; it was just the power that was hard to experiment with.

If he really input several thousand points of mana, he might vaporize this entire building.

After the experiment, Loren spent another half hour developing a simplified version of Blood Moon Condensed Light and taught it to Anna, along with the Vampire Fang.

"Practice this magic first. Although there's only one Vampire Fang right now, we'll get new ones later."

"Oh, right, Lilith, do you know any magic?"

Loren planned to teach Lilith as well. Blood Moon Condensed Light was considered the simplest magic. With a Vampire Fang, Loren estimated even Scarlett could learn it easily.

"I only know one magic: Blood Moon Condensed Light."

"Alright."

Loren nodded. In that case, there wasn't much he could teach Lilith. Perhaps Loren's method was simpler, but if one started learning his method from the beginning, it might cause them to be unable to cast their original magic. Luna was like that at first.

However, after completely mastering Loren's method, learning other magics later would become much easier. But Lilith didn't need any of that. Having lived this long, being able to learn one Blood Moon Condensed Light was already quite good.

"I'm going to study the Dawn Princess's diary. If any guests come, remember to call me."

Today was the day he agreed to meet with the leader of the vampire rebels. Loren felt he should have Lilith avoid it when the time comes. After all, she's still a vampire living on basic subsistence aid.

She had been a great help to Loren, but she herself didn't understand the value of those things. To be honest, her relationship with Loren wasn't particularly close either. It's just that she was inexplicably very attached to Loren. Loren remembered Anna was like that when she was little.

Loren casually put the Dawn Princess statue he had just made into his pocket. That thing was still quite sensitive.

The Church's sensitivity towards the Dawn Princess was second only to the Primordial Gods and Their true names. Although they hadn't completely erased the Dawn Princess's existence, and no one triggered immediate punishment just by mentioning her name, it still wouldn't be pleasant if the Church discovered someone trying to figure out the Dawn Princess's affairs.

Even Loren couldn't openly say the Dawn Princess was good. The Church had completely defined this matter: the Dawn Princess was evil, more heinous than evil gods. You could mention evil gods, but not the Dawn Princess; you could say evil gods might not be bad, but you couldn't say the Dawn Princess had a single good point.

If the Church saw this statue, it would be like a Batulu of the Qing Dynasty seeing a "Overthrow the Qing, Restore the Ming" banner.

The Orthodox Gods needed to enslave humanity and harvest human faith. Evil gods just wanted to take a share of that faith, which was still within the Orthodox Gods' tolerance. But the Dawn Princess was different. She genuinely wanted to overthrow the Orthodox Gods and return the human world to humanity. The nature was completely different.

Loren opened the Dawn Princess's diary. What met his eyes were some meaningless, mundane accounts.

These were all camouflage. Originally, these diaries were just the Dawn Princess's ordinary diaries, recording some of her observations, including many secrets.

But later, when the Orthodox Gods appeared, the Dawn Princess guessed what would happen next. So she simply cast an indestructibility effect on her diary, encrypted it once, and even stuffed some super-tier magic into it.

"I wish to glimpse the truth."

Loren uttered this phrase while channeling his mana into the diary. Subsequently, the characters on it began to change, revealing their true form.

The Dawn Princess left the diary precisely so others could see it. The encryption wouldn't be overly stringent.

"I tested positive for magical aptitude, but my stepmother won't allow me to go to school. She wants me to stay home and take care of my two older sisters..."

After reading just a few lines, Loren could barely sit still. How did the Dawn Princess's diary align with Lilith's story? Could the protagonist in the fairy tale be the Dawn Princess?
