On the three-story staircase of Lichtenstein Castle. [{updated chapters are most complete and comprehensive, with error corrections updated most promptly. Due to caching reasons, it is recommended to browse the official website}]

Ranch and Huberly stood before the master bedroom, originally belonging to the castle owner, and lightly knocked on the door twice.

"Ranch dressing"

It was me.

Lanche immediately turned the doorknob and pushed open the master bedroom door of the castle.

A faint, almost blinding glimmer pierced the dim corridor from between the door cracks.

Lanch brought Huberlyan into the room.

This spacious room, reminiscent of a grand castle's heart, is adorned with countless carvings and decorative details on its walls. It feels like an open history book, rich in color and intricate lines that beckon you to uncover the stories they hold.

The marble fireplace blazed with a majestic and fervent fire. Deep brown curtains, falling to the floor, shrouded the night outside the windows, casting the entire room in a veil of secrecy, as if an unspeakable ritual were being conducted within its walls.

And by the four-poster bed at the center of the room, there were still those three familiar figures.

Three priests, now multi-talented and skilled, were wearing masks as they meticulously worked on a corpse.

If all the soft tissues of the prey are already dehydrated and dried, including the internal organs, we need to use a lot more force to break it down. Yes, just go at it with all your might, don't worry about ruining the prey.

And the priest beside him, Frey, was still instructing the three clergymen.

"Stop... stop it...."

The emaciated corpse in the center was withered and pale, its skin as textured and ancient as parchment.

What's even more unsettling is that the corpse was still struggling in pain, it's terrifying!

Three priests moved their implements over the corpse repeatedly.

soft or intense.

... would always elicit a faint and mournful sound from Count Pallock.

That was a high-pitched sound, mingling with the scraping of a scalpel cutting through tough skin.

"Well, there's no smell of blood."

Lanche said in surprise.

Have you ever thought about why

Hubert finally couldn't stay silent any longer, raising his head to look at Ranch beside him.

They first found Frey, who was still using his Hunter skills to guide the clerics.

According to Lance's training plan, after the end of this course, these three clergymen returned to the mortal world. They could dissect both humans and animals, demonstrating mastery of the skill in a single step.

After observing for a while, waiting until the busy few had temporarily paused their work and turned their attention to him, Lance finally spoke.

"Guys, is there a werewolf among you"

If the werewolf isn't here, he could just go to the iron room on the fourth floor and ask the guild master and his bodyguard siblings.

"It was me."

Frey nodded curtly and then looked at Lance.

He knew Ranch was looking for him.

"Frey, you wouldn't really have the abilities of a werewolf, would you"

Lance eyed Frey curiously for a moment, then asked.

On his way there, he heard from Hubrian that even in her perspective's Shadow World information panel, there was no separate indication stating she was a 【Witch】.

According to the information in the sealed grimoire found within the castle, she, as a half-demon, is indeed the witch in this Shadow World.

The fact that she is half-demon is completely hidden by the demon traits being perfectly concealed using the [Transformation: Human] skill obtained last time. Only those who teamed up with her and the two betrayer resurrectionists who knew her information beforehand are aware of this truth.

Since the identity of a 【Witch】 is not something given by the Shadow World, but rather innate, then it's highly likely that the same applies to 【Werewolf】.

"Yes, I went to the library and looked through some ancient books. There were records about the werewolf race, and I finally understand why I get a little enhancement at night."

Frey finally understood something that had puzzled him for a long time in the real world.

Although he is not a member of the Wolf Clan, his bloodline probably has a slight reversion. Even in the present world, he would gain all-attribute enhancement and higher regeneration due to the strengthening moonlight.

When I was a child, my hair was black. Later, as I rose in rank, it turned gray and white. That's when I started awakening more and more traits similar to those of the so-called werewolves.

Fray explained to Lanci and Huberly.

In a way, he is half-wolf now.

However, before he awakened the werewolf traits, he already possessed powerful regenerative abilities.

If it was at night, he would be confident in defeating any vampire of the same rank in a one-on-one duel.

After a brief chat, Lance turned to Frey and asked:

"Frey, I'm sorry to bother you, but could you come with me for a moment"

"No problem."

……

After briefing the three clergymen on the basic principles of the autopsy procedure, Frey left the bedroom with Lynch and Huberlian.

The three of them walked out of the room together, their footsteps breaking the silence of the three-story corridor once more. The sound echoed in the cold stone walls and hallways.

"What can I do for you"

"I received the latest intelligence. Beneath this castle's cellars, another vampire baron is sealed away. It requires the blood of a witch and a werewolf to break the seal. We must go and rescue him."

Lance looked as if he was eager to save a life.

Frey nodded.

At this, he understood. No more words were needed. Lance had eyes that spoke, and Frey could read them.

"Frey, before entering the Shadow Realm, we were still discussing how the academic delegation from the Alora Kingdom would add to the Grand Chancellor's workload. According to schedule, they should arrive at the Icterite Academy in the next two days and begin a two-week academic visit. The Shadow Realm ends in four days. When it's over, I can help the Grand Chancellor properly."

Three people walked down the stairs slowly, chatting as they went. Each footstep sounded like a heavy drumbeat.

The pitch-black staircase was like a gateway to the unknown, and each flickering candle seemed like a warm hand reaching out to the three of them, dispelling the shadows.

They are also this relaxed when they are doing student council work in the old humanities building at Ikte University.

"It's necessary."

Moreover, this time the Alolan Kingdom's team will have a hidden elite Revivalist aiming to assassinate Huberlian and shatter trust between both nations. This is a serious malicious incident that no one else is aware of yet, and for the sake of the informant's safety, we can't report it to the kingdom side for now. We have to orchestrate an accident to bring that criminal to justice.

Lanche continued to speak righteously, with a sense of responsibility akin to that of a headmaster.

Upon hearing this, Huberly was taken aback.

She always felt that Ranchi's words sounded very familiar...

Hubberley remembered what the goddess Stissera had told her - there was a very dangerous person who wanted to make an accident on campus to kill her.

It seems like this time, the other party might be reciprocating Lanchi's feelings.

Lanche also thought so.

Wouldn't it be more surprising than anything else if it turned out this way
