Ascension To Divine Throne

Chapter 69: The Art of Deceiving

Who is Lord Vlad?

Angela, tilting her head in confusion, finally remembered that this was the progenitor of the vampires and the god of the night.

William, of course, knew what he was talking about. In the world of Gaia, Vlad, as the ancestor of the vampires, is an extremely ancient and mysterious deity, with the divine domains of Vampires and Night.

Since He rarely shows miracles in front of the world, His name is also seldom known.

Although directly invoking the name of a deity might draw their attention — the reason believers pray in such a manner — to gain Angela’s trust, this was the most effective reasoning William could think of. He hoped the deity wouldn’t bother with such a small matter.

When William thought communication had failed after the white bat didn’t respond for a long time, Angela suddenly opened her bright eyes and said:

“Did the Ancestor Lord send you? Really? That’s great!”

Angela flapped her little wings, excitedly flying around the room.

She had long wanted to leave the tomb.

Although it was suitable for Angela’s growth and contained treasures, it was incredibly boring.

Since Angela advanced to Gold-level and inherited memories, she had been yearning for the vast and exciting world she remembered.

She had sought out the Lich, hoping Azrael would help her leave, but that fellow never understood her, ignoring her communications and just babbling.

Angela felt sorrowful, thinking the entire tomb was filled with fools. Was she, so intelligent, doomed to be trapped here forever?

Unexpectedly, waking up today brought a huge surprise — someone sent by the Ancestor Lord to rescue her!

After flying around for a while and dispelling her sleepiness, Angela looked at William, now fully alert and spirited.

“You are a good person! What’s your name? Angela will remember you!”

William felt the trustful gaze from the tiny white bat and couldn’t help but smile.

Was this the simplicity and naivety easy to deceive, as the guide author mentioned? What he saw today truly stood out.

No wonder the author said this was the easiest part of the entire process.

You’re a Gold-level BOSS, and I barely used the first of my eighteen prepared arguments, and we’re through?

While internally commenting, William, who had honed his acting skills to the highest level, didn’t show any change in expression and said:

“My name is William, a mage, willing to help Lady Angela leave this place.”

Angela nodded eagerly, completely believing William could lead her out.

The words of Ancestor Vlad, how could they be false?

“Great, I’ve had enough of this place. How do we get out?”

William’s expression turned serious, and he said earnestly:

“To leave this tomb, we must defeat the Lich Azrael!”

“Ah? But Angela can’t beat him, and you look so weak~”

The little bat recalled its experience of causing havoc in the Lich Tower, only to be chased out by Azrael, shrinking back a bit.

It was quite a painful experience.

William quickly added: “Lord Vlad has already told me the Lich’s weakness. As long as Lady Angela can hold him off, I can defeat him using a special method.”

Angela was conflicted, remembering her last attempt when she escaped by turning into a little bat.

Even so, her fur was scorched, and it took a long time to recover. She was reluctant to confront Azrael again.

But if she didn’t go, she would never leave!

After some thought, the little bat gritted her teeth, determined!

“Ahhh! fine, I’ll take you to smash that old bone.”

Angela, uttering her fiercest words, prepared to lead William to confront Azrael.

William quickly stopped the little bat; going directly was tantamount to delivering themselves on a platter. They needed to prepare first.

After explaining Azrael’s skills, specialties, and precautions in detail to Angela, William shared all the information he knew with her and even asked about her abilities to formulate several tactics specifically for her.

The little bat nodded continuously, looking at William with a hint of admiration.

This person is amazing, no wonder the Ancestor sent him to rescue me.

After listening to William’s instructions, Angela flew up from her heart-shaped bed and landed on William’s head, playing with his black hair and asking:

“After we defeat Azrael, can we just leave?”

“Yes, we should be able to leave directly.”

If William’s guess was correct, after defeating Azrael, he should obtain the dungeon crystal for this dungeon.

If not, the magical circle for teleporting away should be in Azrael’s Lich Tower.

“Then I want to take something with me!”

Hearing this, Angela landed on the heart, pulling it up with force.

William knew why Angela was fond of this heart; it was from a Duke-level vampire and used by Azrael as the core for the mansion’s operation.

This was a condensation of the vampire’s blood essence, and William wondered where Azrael got this nearly legendary-level vampire heart.

Naturally, Angela could benefit a lot from it; besides her innate talent, this heart was a significant boost to her advancement to the Gold-level.

That’s also why Angela liked to sleep on it.

Seeing Angela struggling to take the heart with her, but to no avail, William shook his head.

The heart was connected to the entire mansion through magical runes, impossible to remove by brute force.

William approached, touched the heart where it connected to the platform with magical runes, and disconnected the “Durability” and “Stone” runes.

Angela suddenly pulled the heart out, flying far away due to the momentum. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

When she flew back, clutching the heart, she exclaimed:

“William, you’re amazing, how did you do that?”

William waved his hand, implying that it wasn’t difficult for someone with some understanding of magical runes since the runes on the platform were not complex.

“Shall we set off?”

William asked, watching Angela trying to carry the blood-red heart on her head, and quickly offered:

“Do you need me to store it for you first, and give it back to you after we leave?”

Angela thought for a moment, nodded, and handed the precious vampire heart to William, curiously watching him store the heart in his spatial ring.

Now, Angela felt even more that this man named William was incredible. Are there many impressive people outside?

Will I be captured and made into food?

The Gold-level little bat, with all its knowledge coming from inherited memories, felt a bit melancholic and somewhat uneasy about the outside world.
