Saira entered the room. Seeing her go in like that, Avinash said, "Wait, there could be danger inside."
Avinash also ran after her.
The moment he stepped inside, his eyes widened in shock. In front of him were several jars of blood. Some were quite small, while others were much larger.
But what was shocking wasn''t the blood—it was the labels written on the jars.
The first jar had Dragon Blood written on it.
The second jar read Vampire Queen Blood.
The third one said Elf Queen Blood.
The fourth jar was even more astonishing—Giant Blood.
Avinash''s attention was drawn to a jar that had broken due to an explosion. It had Demon King Blood written on it. But the strange thing was, there wasn''t a single drop of blood anywhere nearby. The jar was shattered, yet the blood was missing.
Avinash began to sense something was wrong. He said, "Something''s not right—" before he could finish, Saira suddenly jerked backward.
Something had grazed her cheek, cutting it. She touched her cheek, which was now bleeding. A dark, fast-moving entity rushed toward Avinash.
Avinash instinctively raised his arms to shield his face. But after a moment, when he opened his eyes, he saw a dark object floating in the air.
Saira, who had been controlling the blood, realized something—it wasn''t just the blood around her she could control but also the dark entity. She said, "This thing... it''s blood." The black blood, however, was still writhing, trying to escape her control.
Avinash observed it closely. It was living blood. He could feel a faint, dominating power emanating from it. The sensation made him feel like he should bow before it, but this feeling was weaker than the one he had felt the first time he encountered Isabella.
Saira wiped the blood from her cheek—it was black.
Avinash quickly scanned the room and found a jar lying in the corner. Picking it up, he said, "Saira, into this!"
The blood, still thrashing, was finally sealed inside the jar.
Both of them had the same question in their minds: What does Fake God want with this?
But Saira shifted her focus to her own blood. There was a significant amount of it—not stored in a jar but in a large tub. The label on it read Nameless.
Suddenly, screams and cries echoed from outside, growing louder by the second. People were groaning in pain. Hearing this, both of them rushed out, only to witness piles of corpses lying around.

Blood was flowing on the ground, and in the midst of it stood a man—Fake God. Not a single drop of blood had stained him.
Amid the horrific scene, he stood there calmly, as if he had merely come for a stroll in the park.
Both of them could clearly see that no one had managed to get close to Fake God. Anyone who entered within a 10-meter radius of him vomited blood and died instantly.
Avinash thought, We''ve barely been here for three minutes, and he''s already caused this much destruction...
Holding the ring in his hand, Fake God said, "It seems it''s time for me to leave." With that, he slammed the ring onto the ground and vanished.
Saira shouted, "Let''s get out of here immediately! Something''s not right." The two of them ran toward the room with the magic circle cameras.
Breathing heavily, they reached the room only to find Isabella standing before them. The sight of her sent chills down their spines.
With a merciless smile, Isabella said, "Sorry, I got a bit delayed taking care of those spies. So, you two are the thieves."
She paused, then added, "Wait, wait. Is that the strong scent of blood coming from outside?"
Behind her, a teleportation circle lit up again. Victoria stepped forward, scanning the corpses scattered around her. As soon as her eyes landed on Avinash and Saira, her expression turned furious. She said, "Prepare to die!"
Meanwhile, Pig Bank asked Fake God, "Where are they?"
Fake God replied, "I told you before, there''s a 100% chance they''ll be caught. Anyway, our work here is done."
Pig Bank, still uneasy, asked, "But what about them?"
Fake God replied, "That has nothing to do with us. Besides, poison works perfectly on vampires. Don''t worry—they won''t kill the girl. She has Nameless potential.
As for the boy... there''s a 50% chance that Demon King''s blood is in his body. If it is, he''ll survive. Otherwise..." He smirked. "I can only say one thing: Rest in peace."
Elsewhere, Saira quietly hurled a bottle of chloroform toward Isabella and Victoria. A few droplets splashed in their direction, ensuring they would soon lose consciousness.
But Victoria''s eyes glimmered faintly, and the bottle, along with the droplets, froze mid-air. Some strange mental energy surrounded her, holding everything in place.
In a stern voice, Victoria said, "A good attempt, but ultimately futile."
Avinash''s thoughts were racing. This is hopeless. There''s no way out of here. The teleportation circle is right behind us, but I have no idea how to activate it. Escaping is almost impossible. And I don''t even have a chance.
"We''re in the biggest mess right now, that bastard Fake God!"
Avinash was lost in thought when he took a deep breath and used his desk to push the floating chloroform bottle directly toward Victoria and Isabella''s faces.
The next moment, several energy strands lifted him into the air, and his desk froze in place.
With a serious expression, Victoria moved forward to end his game once and for all.
Without thinking, Avinash spat toward her. She stopped it effortlessly.
But just then, a bubble made of blood containing chloroform burst right near Victoria''s nose with tremendous force.
Victoria was in shock, realizing too late what had happened, and collapsed unconscious.
The problem, however, was that a second bubble burst near Isabella''s face, showing no effect at all.
Isabella swiftly grabbed Saira by the neck and slammed her repeatedly against the wall.
Avinash, now free from the bindings because of Victoria''s unconsciousness, immediately looked around. He spotted a knife lying among the fallen bodies and, with precise aim, hurled it at Isabella''s head using his desk''s power.
Despite using all his strength, the knife didn''t move forward at all. Its tip couldn''t even scratch Isabella''s skin.
Meanwhile, Saira was trying to use her blood control ability to block the flow of blood to Isabella''s brain. But it seemed like the effect would take too long, and by then, her neck bones would already be shattered.
Avinash, desperate, struck at her neck, but the knife failed to cause any damage. He couldn''t comprehend how thick her skin was.
Had she been an ordinary human, the knife would have pierced through her skull by now, thanks to the desk''s force.
Realizing his mistake, Avinash decided to target her weaker spots.
Isabella, frustrated, used her mental energy to grab Avinash by the neck and lift him off the ground. On the other side, Saira could feel death creeping closer and closer.
But something strange was happening— the faint black blood smeared on Saira''s cheek was slowly spreading through her body. One of her eyes turned blood-red, and she felt as if electric currents were racing through her entire body.
Just as Isabella was about to finish them off, she suddenly froze. She felt it—pure, unfiltered fear.
Startled, she stepped back abruptly.
Both Saira and Avinash were gasping for breath. Saira could feel something changing inside her body.
"Avinash, your horns..." Saira whispered, startled.
She touched her head, her tongue brushing against what felt like new, sharp fangs. She could feel a strange movement behind her back, something alien.
Avinash looked at her and thought, Demon. Saira now looked partially like a demon.
In shock, Isabella muttered, "Demon King... How can you have the Demon King''s bloodline?" Her entire body trembled.
Suddenly, a bright light filled the room. Avinash and Saira both felt an unseen force pulling them.
When the light vanished, Isabella looked around and saw no one.
