Damon did not say anything. His expression was serious as he finally reached inside his storage space and checked out what exactly had happened in the end.
Almost immediately, he jolted up in shock. "Yes! Yes! Yes! Fuck yes!"
Blood Reign’s laughter echoed in his mind. "Judging by that reaction, I assume things went well, my liege?"
"Yes. We got it." Damon did not take out the corpse just yet, but it was there. The entire coffin was sitting there with the corpse intact inside.
Damon let out a sigh and collapsed on the bed again. He was still pretty exhausted. He had been resting all this time with essentially one eye closed and one eye open, so he hadn’t recovered all that much. At least all of that effort was worth it now.
Damon closed his eyes and thought back to everything that had happened. The fairy dungeon, the illusion world, and especially the pair of eyes. Was the difference between them that huge? He clenched his fists, unwilling to accept something like that.
Damon snapped out of it. He did not want to think about the entire mind fuck incident. He did not even know if what happened was real or not. This time, the trial of the damned fairies really did a number on him. His head was still hurting as if it was about to explode.
The good news was that Lirae was still here, and he had obtained the main loot of the fairy dungeon.
Now all he needed to do was figure out a way to deal with a famous, deadly assassin cult that might actually possess Umbra’s heritage. He opened up his system interface and sent Ghost another message. The guy was sure taking his sweet time.
In the meantime, his hand was itching to examine the corpse of the fairy king. If only there were a space where he could do that safely. It may be time to head out of the royal palace.
He looked around the room he was currently in. He still couldn’t believe it.
The princess had actually dragged him into her wing in the royal palace, even though he was a vampire. He was prepared the whole time for a bloody scene and NPCs coming in droves to hunt him down, but nothing of that sort happened.
It did not matter. He planned to leave as soon as he felt slightly better, and now seemed to be as good a time as any.
Damon silently opened up a Blood Gate to a known grinding location in the western desert, a bit far from the royal palace. But before the Blood Gate could materialize, he felt a searing pain in his head and stopped.
Something was off. He could feel it. He just did not know what it was.
He closed his eyes and decided to examine himself for a moment before he left the place. His eyes widened in shock. Instead of the usual pulse, the mana currents, and the blood flow, this time he felt something else entirely.
A dark space. An endless dark space, like a sea of darkness.
