[The violent men have caught and sung the flying sun,
Understand, but too late, they make the sun sad on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

"Although we don't know what happened, we are afraid that we have arrived at the Lightless Prison."
The old woman called "Zula" frowned, rubbed her cane with her fingers, and asked the people around her solemnly: "Can you confirm our current location?"
"My Lord, I'm afraid we can't... We didn't enter according to our original plan."
The man hesitated for a moment and whispered, "According to the news that was sent back, as long as we enter here, Lady Sfanny should be able to sense us."
Zula nodded slowly.
"Then wait a moment, don't act rashly."
Although they were in darkness, the ten dark elves appeared calm.
They are a race living in dark areas, and almost everyone has a certain degree of night vision, so they don't think there is anything wrong with such an environment.
If we just wait a little longer, the nine of us will be able to find Sfanni.
After that, even if we don't meet other people, eight people are enough to lead her out. If those people can't keep up, they can stay and share the firepower with the seven of us.
Even if there are only six people, it is enough to gather others...
"… "
Suddenly, an uneasy whisper was heard in the darkness.
"Are we short of people?"
After the number of people gradually decreased by half, someone finally realized that something was wrong.
She shook her head vigorously and said painfully:
"My, there were only four of us originally!? Wasn't it five?"
"No, that's not right, I saw it! We were..."
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly started running madly into the distance and soon disappeared.
"What's wrong with her!"
"Lord Zula, should we go after them!?"
"There are three of us, we can't be divided any further... No!"
Zula finally realized at this moment that there might be something wrong with the consciousness of his people.
The "serious man" suddenly opened his eyes, his old and wrinkled skin unfolded at this moment, and his heart trembled violently.
No… No!
What you see in front of you may not be true.
Could it be that all of them were trapped in an illusion
They didn't actually leave
Thinking of this, the Serious Man's spirit was shaken, and a roar like a night owl came out of his mouth.
"wake up!!!"
The harsh sound pierced the ears of the only two people left like a sharp sword, making them howl in pain.
"ah!"
But just as blood began to flow from their ears, the scene before them changed.
The illusion is shattered!
They were still standing in the dark space, but before them there was a huge black iron coffin and... seven or eight shriveled corpses collapsed in front of it.
They saw a head.
The beautiful head that poked out from the coffin slowly opened its eyes, licked the blood on its lips, and gave them a charming yet crazy smile.
"You woke up? Why bother?"
"It's obvious that you won't be able to end the painless operation in a while, but you have to wake up now. You are really unlucky."
"But it doesn't matter if you wake up. I can still let you sleep for a while."
The vampire prince, who had enjoyed a delicious meal for the first time in a long time, was in a very happy mood. He nodded with satisfaction to the serious and uneasy people in front of him and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll only say this once."
"Give me your blood."

Blind eyes can shine like shooting stars,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.]
Chapter 112 "Father" (3/3)
"… "
The last legend looked at the fluorescent plants around him and frowned silently.
His appearance is considered outstanding among all dark elves. Although he looks to be in his early twenties, his every move exudes a special mature charm.
The dark elf hesitated for a moment, then walked deeper into the forest along the path.
He leaped quickly through the woods and soon arrived in front of the giant tree in the center of the forest.
That is…
He stopped and hesitated for a moment. He did not approach rashly, but shouted loudly from a distance: "Sfanny! It's me, your father!"
He waited for a while, and seeing no movement in the tree house, he moved his lips, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and continued to shout:
"I know you resent me and think I killed your mother."
"Your mother's death... was indeed not an accident, but it was not my fault!"
He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and shouted towards the tree house:
"It's all her fault!"
"She disobeyed the High Mistress, refused to obey the clan's orders, and assassinated the clan's priest. She was eventually killed by the High Mistress' orders."
"I didn't have the heart to do it at the time, but you know the clan's rules. If I didn't do it, you and I would all die! All of us would die!"
"I did that for you!"
"Don't you understand all this?!"
The forest was still dead silent, and "father" could clearly hear his own heartbeat getting faster and faster in his chest.
Boom boom boom—
An inexplicable fear always enveloped him, making him dare not let his guard down or break into the tree house to take her away.
Why
What had happened to her and why did I feel so uneasy
Finally, after suppressing his anxiety, the "father" changed his strategy and said sadly:
"Your sister, Stella, has gone mad. She killed all my relatives with her own hands. Now... you are the only relative I have left."
"Sfanny, can you really bear to see me being killed by her?"
"Come with me! We can definitely take back everything that belongs to us!"
A moment later after the "father's" emotional speech, the tree house finally responded.
Click, click, click…
The branches and leaves of the giant tree shook, and a thick root emerged from the ground, slowly approaching the "father" like a palm.
The "father" heaved a sigh of relief and reached out to touch it gently.
It can be considered as deceiving her—
"cough!?"
laugh!
When the tree roots were only one meter away from the "father", they suddenly stretched out, ruthlessly pierced his chest, and quickly tied him up.
"Sfanny, what are you doing?"
The "father" wanted to escape immediately after being injured, trying to survive by relying on the legendary assassin's shadow-jumping ability.
But he failed.
At this moment, in this fluorescent forest—there are no shadows at all!
!!!
The suppressed fear erupted at this moment, causing the "father's" disguised expression to completely collapse, and he let out a shrill roar.
"No!"
He thought that Sfannie might not agree with their approach, but he didn't expect that she would actually want to kill him... No!
Didn’t you agree?!
At this moment, "Father" suddenly understood everything.
This is a trap.
All of this was a trap to lure them here!
"You lied to me!"
He wanted to escape, but he couldn't.
More vines erupted, wrapping around his wrists, ankles, and neck... slowly but irresistibly tightening.
Crunch, crunch!
die.
The cold death wrapped around the "father's" neck, causing him to tremble uncontrollably and lose his voice in fear: "I! Ahem, but, your father!?"
"I don't have a father."
Sfanny's phantom incarnation finally appeared in front of the giant tree. She looked indifferently at her "father" entangled by the tree roots and frowned slightly.
"What on earth have you been talking about for the past half day?"
In a matriarchal society where mothers are respected, it is relatively difficult to determine the exact father of a child.
After all, your father may not be your biological father, but your mother is definitely your biological mother.
So in the Dark Elf clan, children only have mothers, and there is no concept of fathers...
As for those males who should have been called "biological fathers", in the minds of dark elves, they are nothing more than the mother's companions, toys or public slaves.
She looked at her "father" who was gradually losing his vitality, and suddenly said, "Doris."
"… What?"
The strangled "father" was getting weaker and weaker. At this moment, he was on his deathbed and looked at Sfannie almost unconsciously.
Why do you mention her at this time
"You forcibly sacrificed Doris's soul to [Evil Desire], and used his power to pass the message to me without the knowledge of the monastery."
"Heh, you..."
Is this revenge for her!? "
"No, I don't mind her death."
