I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Sealed Land.

Miles upon miles of dark clouds obscured the sun, and the thick fog formed from ancient power was like the gaze of a demon, filled with a breath that made one's courage falter.

At this moment in the sky, a creature with a wingspan of 26 blades, enveloped in the Power of Crimson as if it had sliced its way out of hell, unfurled its wings and soared.

With each flap of its tattered dragon wings, its speed surged, trailing a long crimson tail flame behind it.

What was even more shocking was the figure on the back of this being, made of white bones and with hellfire burning upon it. The figure was handsome to the extreme, standing straight and tall like a mountain, carrying upon his back a giant coffin shrouded in blue energy.

The coffin seemed like an item that had persisted through the ages, its surface adorned with patterns formed by the erosion of countless years, the imprints left by time.

The sky was oppressed with dark clouds, the earth roared with the monstrous Ancient Monsters, and Lide stood atop the first Undead Blood Dragon in the world, carrying a mysterious coffin that sealed an Ancient Evil. The scene was as striking as an epic, stirring deep emotions.

This moment was one to be emblazoned upon the walls of temples to become a myth handed down through generations.

Lord Cap, unable to catch up with the Withered Bone startled by the coffin, was now following Lide and riding upon the Undead Blood Dragon.

Feeling the horrific aura of the coffin that was subtle yet unmistakable, the fear within Withered Bone continued to grow, having just experienced an escape from the terrifying Evil God sealed within, as if slipping away from the scythe of the Death God.

At this very moment, they were fleeing from the Sealed Land with all their might.

And Lide was, with every fiber of his being, battling the power of the Ancient Evil emanating from the coffin, his mind on nothing else.

The Ancient Evil God within the coffin did not intend to cease its resistance after being hoisted; it was fiercely struggling instead.

Since physical contact with the coffin wasn't completely blocked by the blue energy of the Tears of Purification, Lide could clearly sense just how dreadful the presence within the coffin was.

That ancient power was the purest form of rot, malevolence, primeval force; he could only counter it with the Power of Faith.

But it was not easy for him, his Power of Faith was being depleted crazily.

Fortunately, just the followers of the Twilight Sect alone were close to 15 million. The amount of Power of Faith he received daily was astronomical, providing him with enough capital to clash head-on with the opponent.

But contending against the coffin's power wasn't enough, as Withered Bone escaped, Lide once again felt a sense of dangerous scrutiny.

He had this feeling as soon as he entered the Sealed Land, but now it was even more evident.

"Could it be that this Sealed Land contains other sealed Ancient Evil Gods?"

Lide's thoughts raced, and he quietly warned Withered Bone and Lord Cap to be mindful of the unknown Evil God.

Both were already aware that something was amiss. As Legendary beings, their keen sense of peril had not diminished.

In an instant, Withered Bone increased in speed, the dragon wings beat furiously, drawing long flaming tails across the sky...

Because of the coffin, they could not enter the Dimension Space; hence, their unrestrained flight caused quite a stir.

The Ancient Monsters below sensed an unfamiliar presence in the sky that was not of the Ancient, instantly enraged, they let out skyward roars, as if venting their fury.

But the roar did not cease; it began to spread around, causing a broader range of engagement almost instantly.

Like drops of red ink in clear water, the roars of the Ancient Monsters spread uncontrollably into the depths of the Sealed Land.

Unstoppable.

Lide's expression changed drastically because, after the roars began, the impact of the ancient power against him intensified more than tenfold in an instant.

It seemed the sealed Ancient Evil God had been provoked.

The Power of Faith on his attribute panel was plummeting. At this rate, he feared he'd not last half an hour.

And Withered Bone, too, sensed the urgency of the situation. The Power of Crimson on his body suddenly surged, and his speed rocketed as if he'd floored the gas pedal...

Swoosh~ Instantly, a blast of air was pulled out, and then he flew at a speed nearly invisible to the naked eye.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~

Because the flight altitude was extremely low, those Ancient Monsters on the ground often only felt a wisp of breath sweep by, then could no longer see the silhouette of Withered Bone. Only the Power of Crimson dissipating in the skies still bore witness to his presence.

The region where the mysterious coffin was located was at most a hundred kilometers from the dimensional rift. With Withered Bone's firepower fully unleashed, his flying speed had far surpassed that of the former Dawn Bat King, Castro.

Lide estimated it to be at least 2,000 kilometers per hour.

A journey of over a hundred kilometers took less than two minutes to cross, and the dimensional rift was already in sight.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

The fog in the sky, condensed from the Ancient Power, was as if stirred by a gigantic hand, producing waves more tumultuous than those of the tallest seas.

It was as if some ancient evil deity from ages past was about to awaken from the clouds.

The scene was extremely terrifying.

After just a few blinks.

Boom boom boom~~

An indescribable, untouchable, and unbearable presence violently emanated from the Ancient fog.

At this moment, heaven and earth were shocked into silence, and all things seemed to come to a still.

The Plane's Original Rules seemed to have come to a halt.

Even those ferocious Ancient Monsters seemed as if their throats were pinched, no longer making any sounds.

In the midst of the thick black fog in the sky, an indescribably large, octopus-like figure emerged, its body formed by the condensation of the Ancient fog.

But chillingly, atop the octopus's body was the face of a human, a mismatch so strange and horrifying with the rest of its body.

An unknown Ancient Evil God...

That was an unspeakable horror, a demon and evil spirit from the Exotic Realm City States, a monstrosity of Extreme Evil that does not belong to the human world...

Lide, bearing the stone coffin on his back, looked up at the sky. The extraordinary evil creature gave him a feeling as if his heart was being crushed.

His hair stood on end.

And just when Lide set his gaze upon the creature, the detestable being's tightly shut eyes abruptly opened.

Their eyes met.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

Lide saw in those evil-filled eyes the collapse of worlds, the crumbling of Planes, the Dimension Planes returning to the Chaos Void...

He also saw countless lives being slaughtered, devoured, and countless evil spirits lunging violently towards his soul...

Puh-chi~

Lide only felt a sharp pain in his Spiritual Sea, and a gush of fresh blood violently spurted out.

Just this moment of eye contact gave him a soul-shattering Spirit Shock, a hundredfold more ferocious than the previous Five Circle Magic.

And Withered Bone also felt a great terror, as if something was about to crush and shatter his soul.

He desperately flew onwards.

The mysterious Ancient being in the sky had by then also regained its senses.

"Kill... Destruction..."

A soul-shattering, otherworldly torrent of horrific sound swept through heaven and earth.

The ancient fog in the sky, under the vile speech filled with the exotic realm city states' aura, instantly congealed into thousands of tentacles as long as blades, crashing down toward the ground.

It was as if they intended to use them for a slaughter.

Even this power was already enough to annihilate a hundred-mile stretch of land.

Those ancient power-infused tentacles, carrying the force that could obliterate everything, swept toward the ground, shattering space wherever they passed, returning all to chaos.

As thousands of tentacles pierced straight down from the black clouds in the sky, the scene resembled an apocalyptic disaster, filled with suffocating, profound terror.

"Explode!!"

Lide, enveloped by that terrifying pressure, let out a bestial roar. Bearing the coffin's pressure, he was cloaked in surging Power of Crimson, which then rushed into Withered Bone's body in a wildly violent manner.

Withered Bone let out a sharp cry and then uncontrollably once again increased its speed by a large margin.

Swoosh~

There was no longer a trace of the Undead Blood Dragon in the sky, only the lingering Power of Crimson in the air...

And in the second before the world-ending tentacles shattered the earth, Withered Bone, bolstered by Lide's strength, finally flew out of the shattered space rift.

The moment they returned to the main plane, Lide seemed to sense something and abruptly turned back.

He saw thousands of blade-long tentacles bombard the earth at that moment; the rigid ground broke apart like foam.

Stones as long and wide as dozens of blades scattered into the midair and then fell densely like raindrops, a breathtaking scene.

This land entered a state of destruction after the strike of that Ancient Evil God. The howling ancient monsters, like ants in a storm, were instantly turned into dismembered flesh under the impact of that annihilating power.

Lide could not help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

If they were any later, they would be crushed into a pulp like those ancient monsters at this moment.

The power of that Ancient Evil God was too horrific; a single whisper could condense thousands of blade-long tentacles and end the world... Such a posture was absolutely beyond the imagination of normal people.

The opponent was also definitely not like the God of Plague, who had been sealed for millions of years with much of its strength depleted; it must still retain a considerable part of its power.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect this Sealed Land to hide an Ancient Evil God we had not discovered.

Dwarf Valley... should we prepare to abandon it?"

Lord Cap stood on Withered Bone's back, his face extremely solemn at this moment.

The intelligence center originally found only one sealed Evil God, but clearly, the secrets hidden in this Sealed Land far exceeded their expectations.

If that Ancient Evil God descended on the main plane, then Dwarf Valley, merely a few hundred kilometers away, would likely be discovered very soon.

At that time, it wouldn't just be this city facing danger; what's more terrifying is that it might also involve Dawn City.

Therefore, although Lord Cap was reluctant in his heart, he had already made up his mind to forsake Dwarf Valley; he only needed Lide to give the order...

As Lide resisted the ancient Evil God inside the coffin, his thoughts were also whirling wildly.

A second Ancient Evil God appeared; could there be a third, a fourth??

Although it seemed unlikely, who could be certain?

"Indeed, we need to prepare for this," he decided after a moment.

"Later, you'll stay in Dwarf Valley and first move all the critical supplies to Dawn City, so that the army can be withdrawn at any moment in case of an emergency.

With the Space Gate, there's no need to leave too much baggage in Dwarf Valley since resupply can happen at any time."

Dwarf Valley was essentially the cradle of Dawn City's prosperity, its Mithril ore veins and iron mines playing irreplaceable roles in the city's growth.

But now the underworld had been completely taken over by him, and there were other sources for Mithril ore veins, with plenty of iron mines too, so the significance of Dwarf Valley was no longer unique.

If a genuine crisis were to occur here, then losing Dwarf Valley wouldn't matter; preserving life forces was far more important.

Population is the primary productive force—what use are so many resources when there are no people?

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Taking a deep breath, Cap responded.

Under the Withered Bone's reckless wing-beating, they had already flown away from that spatial rift. Now, when he turned his head back, he could no longer see the apocalyptic scene.

Two minutes later, in Dwarf Valley.

Soldiers atop the wall saw a bone dragon infused with flames like those of hell hurtling across the sky, followed by a figure brimming with golden power jumping off the back of the skeletal dragon.

What surprised them, however, was that the bone dragon did not stay for a moment but flew directly deep into Dwarf Valley and then disappeared through a Space Gate.

Iron Hoof Tribe's Chieftain Sam and the Lion Tribe's Shaman Priest Morton exchanged glances, both with expressions of bewilderment.

What was going on?

What was His Majesty carrying on his back? It looked like a stone coffin... Where did he get that thing?

The Withered Bone's speed was too fast; if Cap hadn't slowed down a bit when he jumped off, they might've seen nothing at all.

Full of questions, both approached Cap, who had landed atop the wall.

When they asked him, Cap gave no answer but instead issued a weighty command.

"Immediately transport all non-essential military supplies to Dawn City, and have non-combat personnel evacuate as well. Dwarf Valley only needs to keep the essential miners and soldiers defending the walls; leave no one else behind."

"Lord Cap, what exactly is happening?" the Iron Hoof Tribe's Chieftain Sam asked with surprise. This was no small matter—the city they'd built over several years couldn't just be abandoned.

"A real catastrophe might be upon us soon..."

Recalling those octopus tentacles that ripped through the earth, destroying all in their wake, Cap felt a surge of overwhelming waves in his heart.

Should that Ancient Evil God descend upon the Main Plane, Dwarf Valley would be shattered in an instant.

They stood no chance!

If not for the Withered Bone's swift flight, they all might have been left in that Plane.

"Didn't His Majesty go to hunt down that sealed Evil God? Could it be he failed?"

The Beastman Sam Priest Morton's voice was somewhat hoarse. If that was really the case, then indeed, they could not stay in Dwarf Valley... But after all, it was the city he'd strived for years to establish—he couldn't bear to part with it.

"No, His Majesty has brought that sealed Evil God back to Dawn City, but there's not just one Ancient Evil God in that Plane; there's another terrifying entity that has already broken its seal.

If that Ancient Evil God descended, we would be unable to resist, and the best option would be evacuation..."

Noting the tremor in Cap's voice, both showed signs of shock. Another Ancient Evil God?

After exchanging glances, they both fell silent.

Facing an almost unbeatable entity was too much psychological pressure.

"Carry out the orders, we have the Space Gate, even if Dwarf Valley has been occupied, we will eventually retrieve it one day."

"Yes, Lord Cap..."

With a somewhat reluctant response, the two turned and left, their mood having grown much heavier.

Cap stood atop the city walls, gazing at the soldiers below who bustled continuously, transporting military supplies to the walls in preparation for the next great battle, his expression complex.

These are all promising seeds...

After taking a deep breath, he turned his head to look straight ahead.

Through the burning piles of corpses in front of the city walls, his deep eyes stared at the Ancient Monsters surging forward like a tide, and he sighed softly... The real disaster, it seemed, was about to arrive.

The attacks they faced during this period were merely appetizers.

But after his sentiment passed, those same eyes did not show weakness; instead, they immediately hardened with resolve.

"No matter what, no one will make the Beastmen kneel and surrender. Beastmen only fall on the battlefield..."

For the sake of Dawn, he would never look back!

The belief in his heart was as firm as steel.

After Lide rode Withered Bone into the Land of Bone-Burying, his body was augmented by the Plane Power, and the formidable strength immediately brought peace to his heart.

The safest place in this world was this Dimension Plane belonging entirely to him.

The battle between the Undead and Demons continued below, but he did not spare them another glance. After confirming there were no issues, Lide placed the coffin he was carrying on his back onto the top level of the White Bone Altar.

Boom~ The highest level of the altar was a couple of sizes bigger than the Mysterious Coffin, but not by much.

When the coffin was placed on the altar, the Angel Wings, which had turned black, quietly drifted upwards a bit.

But then, as if sensing something, they directly flew above the Mysterious Coffin and began to emit a terrifying power.

At that moment, the Angel Wings paid no heed to their irreversible state of corruption. The dazzling Angel Holy Light fell upon the Mysterious Coffin, forcibly adding a white Shield over the Tears of Purification that had already been suppressing it.

A double seal.

Seeing this, Lide's expression became quite nuanced; this was exactly like facing a mortal enemy.

What exactly is being suppressed within this coffin? Why do High-level powers engage with it relentlessly to the death...

The Tears of Purification is one thing, but the Angel Wings are no different.

After pondering for a moment, Lide, driven by curiosity, opened the attribute panel of the Angel Wings and discovered the corruption time of the Angel Wings was slowly decreasing from 3000 years.

Although it took several breaths for one or two days to pass, if this rate continued, it might not be long before Lide wouldn't even have to expend the Power of Death to bring about the corruption, as the Twelve-winged Burning Angel would fall on its own.

Clearly, it was due to the immense power output by the Angel Wings affecting their own resistance to the Power of Death which caused this situation.

However, this situation was very favorable for Lide, as it meant he had yet another entity to suppress the Mysterious Coffin and could accelerate the angel's corruption—killing two birds with one stone.

"I'm starting to feel more and more that the entity sealed within this Mysterious Coffin is not simple...

Even the Angel Wings want to take their shot without regard for their own loss... I really want to open it and see what's hidden inside. Could it really just be an Ancient Evil God?"

Lide gazed upon the scene and couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.

"Do I call for the mixed-race mermaid to come and study this together?"

But the power of Lady Kaslina made him hesitate; the mysterious mermaid guarding the Destiny Tablet was no benevolent creature.

What if greed took hold of her upon seeing the sarcophagus or the Angel Wings?

He dared not gamble on human nature.

The Land of Bone-Burying was one of his greatest trump cards, and the Fallen Angel was even the ace in the hole.

The reason he dared to let Lady Kaslina roam freely in Dawn City was firstly that she had not shown any malice, and had also promised loyalty and protection to Dawn City,

and secondly because of the presence of the Twelve-winged Blazing Angel; should she harbor ill intentions, this ultimate weapon would be the key to turning the tables, whoever it was, the Twelve-winged Burning Angel would not discriminate.

If she developed a greedy desire and acted forcibly, how would he deal with it then?

After serious contemplation for a moment, Lide decided to inform her of the news.

Within the Land of Bone-Burying, no matter how the mixed-race mermaid acted, he had sufficient counteracting forces.

Bolstered by the entire Plane, he didn't believe he was unable to deal with her... especially since he could also make use of the Dark Sovereign's blade.

His trump cards were actually quite numerous, he wasn't weaker than her at all.

Moreover, deep down he was more inclined to trust the mysterious mermaid, after all, the Tears of Purification had been gifted to him by her.

More importantly, no one else knew more about the Ancient Evil Gods than her... If he didn't consult with her, he couldn't find anyone else to answer his questions.

This was entirely a seller's market, even scarier than a monopoly, truly.

Perhaps the Dark Sovereign might also know something about the Ancient Evil Gods, but after all, that being was an evil Undead,

Lady Kaslina, no matter what, wouldn't sink to the point of being compared with the Undead, he'd have to be out of his mind to seek out the Dark Sovereign...

Having made up his mind, Lide first sent Withered Bone back to Dwarf Valley to observe whether the space there had changed.

Given the state of the Ancient Evil God before, it should have been impossible for it to descend to the Main Plane, but he couldn't afford to take chances with such things and had to repeatedly confirm it.

Compared to guarding against the Mermaid, preventing the Ancient Evil God was more critical.

Moreover, Withered Bone, the being with resurrection ability, had, since evolving into an Undead Blood Dragon, acquired the Bloodline's talent of rebirth in the blood pool.

He'd subconsciously overlooked that before.

Since it couldn't die, he wasn't too worried.

Withered Bone felt a bit of fear after receiving the mission, but Lide's command wasn't something he could refuse, so he had no choice but to return obediently to Dwarf Valley.

Once Withered Bone had left, just as Lide was about to take action, Emi, who had been executing the abyssal pig farming plan in the Land of Bone-Burying, quietly appeared beside him.

"Your Highness, good day... I just sensed, um? What is this, this sarcophagus?"

Emi's speech was interrupted when he saw the mysterious sarcophagus hidden within the deathly mist; he could faintly sense an extremely terrifying life within it.

The Angel Wings floating above the sarcophagus also greatly surprised him, what was it that could activate the Angel Wings?

Lide, however, had no inclination to explain so much, giving Emi a serious glance, "This sarcophagus seals an Ancient Evil God; it's extremely dangerous.

Go find an abandoned Abyss Plane and mark down the Plane coordinates around the White Bone Altar..."

Emi's expression turned stern, "Your Highness, are you worried the being will break the seal? If it becomes uncontrollable, will you banish it to the Abyss?..."

Lide shook his head, "No, this isn't for the Ancient Evil God.

"I will bring that half-blood mermaid in later, and you should know that Kaslina's identity is too shocking. If the other party has any ulterior motives, I fear they may be hard to resist."

"If we can't beat her, we will just throw her into the Abyss..."

Emi nodded in admiration, "Yes, I will immediately find a desolate Plane close to the bottom of the Abyss... or shall we simply find a Plane where an Abyss Lord exists?"

Lide looked deeply at Emi, this guy indeed understood my intention.

"Mm, better to be prepared on all fronts. We can look for desolate ones, ones that have powerful Evil Gods, and we can find several. If her strength is too overwhelming, we will throw her into a Plane with an Abyss Evil God.

If her strength can be suppressed by us, then we will throw her into a desolate Plane and deal with it ourselves..."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Emi immediately disappeared from the spot, beginning to execute the plan.

Lide also felt a bit more at ease. Such preparations were intricate, but they were also to prevent any accidents.

Although Kaslina had never shown hostility, as the sovereign of Dawn, he had to consider more and could not just happily embrace the other party because they had not shown enmity.

He must possess sufficient strength, even methods to counter the other party, to be at ease.

Only with equal power can there be equal status; this is the unchanging rule of Glory.

Ultimately, in this world, strength is everything.

It was only after Emi returned and inscribed the coordinates of more than a dozen Abyss Planes that Lide returned to Dawn City through the Land of Bone-Burying.

Zhuge lived his life with caution.

Caution had always been his principle of conduct. He would rather do more, even expend extra effort, than to face a crisis with a fatalistic attitude.

Dawn City.

Instead of going to find Kaslina right away, Lide went to the office of Harrison, the City Hall director.

He hadn't been gone for even two Sunshine Hours to explore the Sealed Land, and even Harrison was quite astonished to see him.

Based on estimates, if Lide spent ten to eight days on this trip, it wouldn't have been surprising, but now...

"Your Excellency, is everything progressing smoothly?"

Lide nodded calmly, but his next words made the City Council Chairman's eyes widen in astonishment.

"Everything went smoothly; I have sealed that Ancient Evil God within the Land of Bone-Burying."

Harrison looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, staring shockingly and stammering, "You, you captured the Ancient Evil God?"

This wasn't a joke, was it?

The intelligence command center had probed so many times; the aura emitted by the other party was terrifying, far beyond Legendary... even by estimates, that Evil God was several times more powerful than Risier City's God of Plague, perhaps even more.

Such a terrifying existence had been captured in just a short couple of day hours?

He then seemed to realize something and spoke with a sudden understanding.

"It must be that the sealed Ancient Evil God's power had waned to its nadir, the intelligence command center made a mistake in their exploration..."

Lide smiled, not keeping the suspense any longer, and retold the news about the mysterious sarcophagus and the presence of other Ancient Evil Gods in the Sealed Land. After listening, Harrison's expression changed.

"Your Majesty, if that is the case, it may be very difficult to keep the Dwarf Valley..."

He instantly saw the crux of the problem. Once the Ancient Evil God descended, the chances of the Dwarf Valley being destroyed were almost certain, given the proximity, and those Ancient Monsters had already caused so many deaths and injuries right beneath the city walls.

"Mm, make arrangements for this, and first move the ordinary Beastmen to Dawn City. Should we indeed face an irresistible enemy, we will relocate at that time.

I am here to inform you of this matter. Now, I must seek out Lady Kaslina to inquire about the sarcophagus..." Lide paused before continuing.

"However, I cannot be certain whether Lady Kaslina will have other thoughts after seeing the sarcophagus and the Angel Wings... If Lady Kaslina harbors any ill intent, you must immediately send troops to control those around her during this period and search her house."

Harrison's expression turned stern as he respectfully replied.

At the moment, that half-blood Mermaid in Dawn City was in a situation where the visitor was strong and the host weak. The strongest in Dawn City, Lide, could not settle the matter by force, and hence he was quite wary of this Mermaid.

But fortunately, the current relationship between the two parties was still in a controllable honeymoon phase, with no conflicts arising.

After giving his instructions, Lide did not hesitate to step through the Space Gate and arrive at the Magic Industry Research Institute.

Seeing Lide appear before her after only a short daytime, Kaslina gave him a light glance.

But her expression remained unperturbed, as if nothing in this world could capture her interest.

Behind her mermaid mind, her hair seemed to float in the water, making her detached demeanor all the more intense.

She did not seem like someone from this mortal realm.

Every time Lide looked into the mermaid's deep, sea-blue eyes, he had the illusion that he was in a holy church, seeing a priest devoutly praying, filled with a sense of the sacred.

"Lady Kaslina..."

"Kachar City Lord, the aura of the Tears of Purification has vanished. Have you found the sealed Ancient Evil God?"

A hint of subtle astonishment flickered across Kaslina's cool expression, interrupting him.

Lide's eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded gravely, "Not only that, but the Ancient Evil God was sealed in a mysterious sarcophagus, which I have transported back here."

Kaslina's body trembled slightly upon hearing the word 'sarcophagus.' An urgency emerged in her eyes, which seldom showed much emotion, as she eagerly spoke.

"Is it a sarcophagus bound by chains?

The chains binding the sarcophagus are inscribed with Ancient inscriptions, and the periphery of the sarcophagus is carved with exotic patterns from realm city-states...

Also, there is a deep scratch on the head of the sarcophagus..."

Lide's pupils dilated abruptly. He had not paid much attention to the appearance of the sarcophagus before, but now he recalled these details instantly.

That Sealed Land was clearly ancient beyond measure - how did this Mermaid know of it?

Moreover, according to the information previously revealed by Kaslina, the Ancient Evil God had been personally sealed by the Creator God. By that account, the sarcophagus clearly dated back to the era of Creation...

Could this mysterious guardian of the Destiny Tablet trace her origins back to the very dawn of Creation long ago?

Thinking this, a shock appeared in Lide's eyes.

If not for this, how could she know the secrets of the sarcophagus?

If so, then the origin of this Mermaid was far more terrifying than he had imagined...

"Lady Kaslina, how do you know about the sarcophagus?" Despite the surge of emotions within, Lide still pressed down his astonishment and earnestly asked.

But her next statement changed his face dramatically, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Because I personally sealed that sarcophagus..."
