Chapter 251 Don’t Kill, It’s Best to Force Them to Leave

Two hours passed quickly.

“Don’t worry, just focus on advancing to Ghost Lord these next few days. I’ll come by every two days.”

Si Yan said to Ying Rui.

After speaking, Si Yan left Ying Rui’s room and returned to his own room.

Upon returning, Si Yan checked the time. It was already past 1 AM.

“Still not here?”

Si Yan murmured.

He quickly washed up and lay down in the bedroom.

Night deepened.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon.

It was 3 AM.

By this time, the Vampires had all fallen into a deep slumber.

Outside Si Yan’s window, a dark shadow quietly appeared.

This dark shadow slipped through the gap in Si Yan’s window and entered his room.

Then, using some unknown method, Si Yan’s room suddenly became incredibly dark.

It wasn’t just this change.

In fact, Si Yan’s room had been isolated.

No matter how loud a sound, it couldn’t escape.

After setting all this up, the dark shadow was about to rush towards Si Yan.

At this moment, he heard Si Yan’s voice:

“You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

The dark shadow instantly froze!

The dark shadow hadn’t expected that despite his caution, Si Yan had still detected him.

And it seemed Si Yan had even anticipated his arrival tonight.

“What if he anticipated it? Die!”

The dark shadow steeled his heart and pounced fiercely at Si Yan.

This fellow was like a phantom.

No, he was a phantom now!

He had snuck in silently.

But the fellow hadn’t even reached him yet.

Suddenly, a figure flashed. Duke Merck, who had been lurking for quite some time, abruptly appeared and grabbed the fellow in his hand.

“A phantom?”

Duke Merck exclaimed softly.

Si Yan turned on the light and saw that the Western Player, held by Duke Merck, was indeed a phantom.

There are many types of Gui Creatures.

Among them, some types are similar but actually have significant differences.

For example, the fierce ghosts in Dark University are still different from the evil spirits in Silver Spring Inn.

Fierce ghosts have no bodies, while many evil spirits have bodies and love to eat people.

Evil spirits and malevolent spirits are also different.

Malevolent spirits are just bad-tempered and easily agitated; they have no inherent need for humans.

But evil spirits are different; many of these fellows even take pleasure in torturing and killing humans.

This phantom, a Gui Creature from the Western system, is another type.

While they are collectively referred to as ‘ghosts’ and such, the differences are quite significant.

For instance, Vampires are very bad at dealing with fierce ghosts.

However, Vampires have no major problems dealing with phantoms from the Western Horror Space.

At this moment, this Western Player, who had transformed himself into a phantom, was held in Duke Merck’s hand like a chick.

This fellow was also completely dumbfounded, never expecting that Si Yan’s room contained a hidden Vampire Duke.

“Damn it, I can only use that item.”

This Western Player was extremely frustrated.

Seeing that he couldn’t deal with Si Yan, he immediately used an item without a second thought.

Then, this fellow decisively chose to commit suicide.

He exploded silently, like a balloon.

“Oh?”

Duke Merck let out a soft exclamation. He hadn’t expected this fellow to commit suicide.

“Suicide? Just as I thought.”

This Western Player’s suicide did not surprise Si Yan.

These Western fellows, this time, wanted to deal with Si Yan without drawing trouble onto themselves.

After all, after dealing with Si Yan, they still wanted to get an SSS rating.

So they sent this fellow, who could transform into a phantom, to deal with Si Yan.

After transforming into a phantom, this fellow’s appearance was vastly different from his original self.

Once caught, he would choose to commit suicide.

This way, even if this assassination failed, Si Yan would have no evidence to prove that they were behind it.

This fellow’s decisive action also showed that, before entering this instance, these Western fellows had 100% used a substitute death voucher.

“No, wait.”

Duke Merck’s voice rang out.

Si Yan also noticed it.

The temperature in the room instantly became incredibly cold.

“Good heavens, not only did he commit suicide, but he also used his suicide to complete some kind of sacrifice contract.”

Si Yan thought.

Indeed.

The next second.

A dark tunnel opened.

Immediately after, an extremely terrifying phantom emerged from that tunnel!

As soon as this phantom appeared, Duke Merck’s expression changed.

Because this phantom’s strength was extremely powerful; even if it hadn’t reached the Ghost Lord level, it was probably close!

High-rank Ghost Emperor!

Duke Merck was a mid-rank Ghost Emperor and simply couldn’t handle it.

Adding Si Yan, a human who had just entered the Ghost Emperor realm not long ago, made it even more impossible!

As soon as this phantom appeared, it fiercely rushed towards Si Yan!

“Watch out!”

Duke Merck charged towards the phantom, but before he could get close, the phantom let out a shriek.

Duke Merck instantly trembled all over, unable to move!

Fearful Scream!

After temporarily restraining Duke Merck with this single move, the phantom fiercely pounced towards Si Yan.

It was about to pounce on Si Yan.

At this moment.

Suddenly.

A figure flashed, and Princess Vera abruptly appeared, grabbing at the phantom.

The phantom reacted quickly. As soon as it sensed Princess Vera’s aura, it turned and fled.

But it was too late; Princess Vera grabbed it.

At the critical moment, this phantom pulled a ‘lizard’s tail’ trick, splitting itself apart. One part fiercely drilled into the black hole and escaped.

Although a part of it escaped, the other part was crushed by Princess Vera.

This time, its loss was considerable.

Its power was reduced by more than half, and it probably regretted it immensely.

This powerful phantom, which even Duke Merck couldn’t handle, would have been dealt with here by Princess Vera if it hadn’t escaped so decisively.

Princess Vera’s power as a Vampire Prince was also fully displayed.

“Mr. Si Yan, I apologize for the fright.”

Princess Vera spoke.

“It’s alright. They have a few accomplices, Your Highness. Don’t let them escape.”

Si Yan said.

Although this Western Player’s appearance had changed after transforming into a phantom, it was no longer his original self.

But given Si Yan’s current relationship with Princess Vera, and with the other Vampire Nobles.

If Si Yan said these Western Players were responsible, then these Western Players were responsible.

These Western Players thought they could distance themselves from the matter.

But they absolutely couldn’t have predicted that Si Yan and Princess Vera’s relationship had reached a considerably familiar level.

Nor could they have predicted that Si Yan had informed Princess Vera in advance.

This was precisely to guard against any major killing moves these fellows might have.

Indeed.

These fellows had a killing move.

Si Yan did not underestimate them.

After all, these fellows had been sent in by the Western Players this time to get an SSS rating.

The Western Players wouldn’t possibly not give them some means to prevent unexpected situations.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Where those Western Players resided.

The Western Players were still waiting for news.

“With John launching the sneak attack, dealing with this Si Yan should be no problem. As long as we don’t alarm the other blood kin in that house, there won’t be too much risk.”

“Yes, and if anything unexpected happens, he can sacrifice himself to summon the Phantom King. I’ve gradually had many people leave over the past two days, so John’s departure won’t be linked to Si Yan being killed or forced to leave.”

“Forcing Si Yan away is actually the best outcome. If he’s killed, we’ll still need to deal with the body.”

These Western Players were discussing there.

This time, they not only wanted to deal with Si Yan but also to do so without any losses.

“Without losses” meant that they couldn’t allow dealing with Si Yan to make Princess Vera or the Vampire Nobles suspect them, thereby affecting their SSS rating.

Compared to simply venting anger, the SSS rating was the most important thing for them on this trip.

So they sent the player who could transform into a phantom to act.

This fellow’s talent was a sacrifice talent.

He could sacrifice some items on himself to summon some extremely powerful phantoms.

This talent, combined with a substitute death voucher, was incredibly useful in certain specific instances, acting as a trouble-ender.

When encountering some troublesome fellows, he could commit suicide and sacrifice himself to summon powerful phantoms to resolve the problem.

Although his own rating and all rewards would be gone.

However, he could bring a high rating to the team.

Others would then compensate him with some items, allowing his growth to also be very fast.

This time, these Western Players sent this fellow to act.

They themselves, of course, were not prepared to reveal any flaws.

They were all pretending to be asleep!

Even their speech became very quiet.

But at this moment.

Suddenly.

“Boom~”

The door to their room was directly kicked open.

Then, a large number of Vampires rushed out.

“We’ve been discovered?”

A bad feeling flashed in the hearts of these Western Players, but they all forced themselves to sit up calmly.

The lights were already on.

They looked and saw Si Yan and Princess Vera walking in.

In front of them were Duke Merck and Duke Vladimir.

“Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?”

The leading Western Player, feigning “sleepy eyes,” asked Princess Vera.

“How dare you attack Mr. Si Yan in Her Highness’s palace!”

Jesse said coldly.

“Your Highness, why do you say that? We’ve been sleeping here all along.”

The leading Western Player feigned innocence.

They absolutely couldn’t admit it.

Even if it wasn’t an attack on Si Yan, attacking within Princess Vera’s palace itself was a challenge to Princess Vera’s authority!

“Jesse, convey my order!”

At this moment, Princess Vera spoke!
