"People Say there is no greater evil than the devils, hah. Those people make me laugh. The devils? Sure those bastards are quite the pain to deal with. But — It's only after witnessing the horrors that humans are able to inflict on each other that to that anyone would understand — Some humans can be kinder than the gods…. Many humans are eviler than the Devils themselves and the worse of the worse are those who hide this evilness under a hypocritical mask of kindness and duty." —>

Virgo Zodiac; Anastasia [The Blind Maiden]

When he pushed the door and entered the room that definitely should not have existed in this place, Adam had steeled his mind. He had thought that he was ready for anything they could throw at him, he could feel a new power surging in him, and this had boosted his confidence in handling the problem that would come.

But, when he finally entered, he was surprised.

Unlike the corridor outside that was seemingly made out of rotting flesh, The room looked like the interior of a prim and proper temple. There was no disgusting odor of hell, no cries nor mocking laugh of demons.

For an instant, Adam even briefly wondered if he was lost or if he entered the wrong place.

He shouldn't have.

The next moment, row and row of lamps lit up one after another, bathing the whole temple in light.

Before each lamp was a twisted sculpture of Asmodeus, the Prince of lust, the row of sculptures led straight toward the center of the Temple that seemed to be both small and infinitely large.

At the very center — This was where he saw them.

The first one was a black-haired male with a pale complexion and a deformed right arm wearing a trench coat. The pressure and Prana of the man was something Adam had never felt from anyone outside of Aleksandra. It was so heavy, that Adam would have felt suffocated if he had focused on the man.

But…How could he focus on that Man with the sight that greeted him?

Next to the man was a young woman or what looked like a young woman. As for humans, they had nothing but shape.

[Name: Zoe Baker

Alias: N/A

Race: Human (Cursed Womb)

Age: 26

Stats: Unable to showcase due to the low proficiency of the skill…]

Her face and body were completely deformed, becoming purplish as if blood could not flow correctly to reach the limbs and the head. The legs of the woman were spread wide, showing white traces that Adam easily recognized as semen, a mixture of weird and disgusting black blood was also flowing from her ravaged place.

Her stomach was huge. Clearly the stomach of pregnant woman. But it was so grotesque it was nauseous. A large belly that seemed like it could have more than twelve babies in it, a deformed form that looked more like a tumor than anything else.

Sometimes, the stomach would bulge, as if something was kicking from the interior and the woman would twitch, before letting out a disgusting moan that sounded more animalish than human.

'Ah…'

Adam was transfixed.

'Haha.'

He thought he had seen it all. But once again —

"This…"

—He was shown once again that there was no limit to the horror of this world.

"Adam! Snap out of it!"

*Swoosh*

Adam was only given a moment to respond. Immediately he accelerated himself and by applicating the same technique he used to launch the guided bullets when he faced those mercenaries, he was able to go from 0 to maximum speed by ignoring inertia.

Even then, he was not able to completely escape from the sudden ambush, a long gash formed on his chest and his blood splashed on the ground.

The one who initiated the attack did not relent. He stretched forward his deformed right arm and the arm elongated like rubber and rushed at Adam, ready to splatter him on the ground.

"Adam!"

Bang!

It was stopped by a barrier that appeared between it and Adam. Cracks formed on the barrier but it was enough to give Adam enough time to gather back his composure.

*Huff* *Huff*

Adam took a deep breath and looked at the man in front of him. Even though he recognized that he had been distracted by the horrible sight of the poor woman, there was no denying that he had been blitzed by the man.

Race: Human/Elder Vampire (Chimera)

'Jack the Ripper…'

Who would have thought that his old enemy and the source of the first quest he received were the cause of this morbid situation?

[1st Ordeal: Fear — The most primordial emotion

Description: Immortal you may be. But getting killed is still an insult to your title. Find your killer and give him a taste of his own medicine by killing him.

Reward: 1 free pass to enter the Records…]

'Is this what they call fate?'

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Adam sighed. Now he had to keep his mind sharp.

"Thanks for the save…"

"Don't be. Just focus. This man doesn't seems easy."

Lilith huffed quietly as she observed Adam's wound.

'He isn't healing.'

Her eye narrowed in thought. But then she nodded. She remembered the information she received from the main body.

All along, she had been wondering why Adam was so weak compared to his other siblings. Now she understood that the curse seemed different from the one his siblings received.

'Oh my…Did he receive Cain's Curse itself? Does this mean he is a true child of Cain?'

This was the kind of news that would shake heaven and many pantheons if it was spread. If so, Adam had the potential to become more dangerous than she initially thought. She had to revise her plans slightly.

"Now then, boy. Why don't you stop banging so hard at my barrier, your thing is not strong enough to push pass it."

Lilith muttered with a sultry smile as she mocked the man beyond her barrier, causing him to stop momentarily.

"Where is The director?"

'Director?'

The man looked at their expression and seemingly and his eyes narrowed.

"I see. You are not my target. You are just nuisances."

The eyes of the man became scarlet red and the odor of blood began to spread in the surroundings.

The muscle of bulged and he grew in height, going past the two meters, and muscles grew so much, even the best bodybuilder would look down in shame.

"Blood art!?"

Lilith was startled but she soon calmed down as she realized that it was just blood manipulation.

Only True Ancestor vampires could use Blood art. If it had been one, then there would have been no hope of victory. But even the current situation seemed quite hopeless.

Lilith hurriedly transmitted the information to Adam through her mind.

[Listen Adam. Blood manipulation is only possible at the Elder level. This means he is more or less superior to an Executor. Do you have any weapon that can hurt him?]

Adam gave a bitter smile.

"I don't have any weapon."

His answer was followed by a roar as the barrier Lilith placed exploded and the giant vampire rushed at him while causing the ground to shake with each step he took.

His smile became even more bitter. He could already feel this fight was going to be a pain.
