Amongst the two Wolves, only one was alive as Lilith didn't actually kill him. She just kept him entrapped since he could come in handy later.
Lilith walked to the door, which had a powerful lock. She gently flicked her fingers. A key came flying out of the pockets of one of the struggling Werewolf, only to land in her hand.
"Thanks for the key."
She inserted the key inside the lock, twisting it sideways. Following a swift clicking noise, the door was unlocked.
Lilith pushed the door open, only to be slightly surprised as the doors didn't even move. They were just so heavy that it appeared to be impossible for someone like her to open the door.
"You do have some good doors, but in the grand scheme of things, this doesn't matter. At least not to me."
Lilith bit her thumb, making it bleed again. Using her blood, she made a circle on the door. Inside the Blood circle, she wrote some strange characters that were impossible to read.
As she wrote, she kept feeling a stinging pain in her bleeding thumb which she ignored for the most part.
As soon as her spell was completed, a mysterious force started acting against the door, pushing it to the other side.
The force that the spell applied was comparable to the strength of a Werewolf. The door started opening slowly.
Despite the strength of the spell behind it, the door still took a minute to completely open.
Despite the door opening, Lilith didn't walk inside right away. She was sure that it couldn't be this easy to get to Atlan. There was no way there were no traps.
She stood at the threshold of the door, observing the other side.
"Hmm, so that's what it is."
Even though the hallway seemed completely safe, Lilith's attention went straight to the marks on the wall and on the roof. The ones who were ignorant could have easily confused those carvings with ordinary design, but someone as knowledgeable as Lilith wasn't going to fall for something as easy as this.
She could see that many spells were cleverly hidden inside the designs to make it difficult to spot them. Fortunately, she wasn't hasty.
"Franc Clan certainly put some effort on these stealthy spells. Not bad. Those spells can detect anyone who enters the hallway, even if they hide behind a shroud. On the other hand, that one specifically targets Vampires if one steps here. It must've taken them over a month to make that one spell alone."
"Breaking these spells isn't impossible, but it will take a lot of time to achieve it. Unless... Unless I can fool these spells."
She turned around, gazing at the young Werewolf in the distance who was weakly looking at her as his body bled.
"See? You came in handy so soon."
She stepped toward the man, sitting on her knees right before him. "You've lost enough blood and are very weak. What could be a better time to attempt it."
The man frowned. What was she going to attempt? Unfortunately, he couldn't even ask as the blood-sucking vine kept his mouth closed.
Lilith placed her palm on the puddle of blood on the floor which belonged to the man.
"This would take a really heavy toll, but I have no choice."
She used the man's flood to cast a formation circle around his struggling body, covering him in the formation from all sides.
After finishing, she used her own blood to cast a similar formation around her before sitting.
She closed her eyes and started muttering something in a barely audible voice. The man didn't know what Lilith was doing, but he had a really bad feeling about this.
Before long, the formation around Lilith started shining slowly. The red luminescence of the blood spread everywhere. At the same time, the blood formation around the man also started shining.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom The two formations were linked by a single thread of blood which established a link of Lilith with the man, sending her consciousness straight into the head of the man. It was something similar to compulsion, which allowed Lilith to control an enemy through the blood link.
The only difference was that after compulsion, the Vampire could still move as it didn't take his entire consciousness to control the body. On the other hand, in this spell, it took Lilith's entire consciousness, which left her own body defenseless. That was the biggest flaw of this spell which made it essentially unusable for the most part.
Fortunately, the risk to her body here was negligible as there were no werewolves here who could threaten her. Most of them were outside the Empire, being kept busy by Atlas.
The man's eyes went black as his blood was attacked along with his consciousness. Lilith's consciousness was targeting his own consciousness, which he tried to resist fiercely.
Unfortunately, he wasn't at his peak. He had lost too much blood, which had already weakened his consciousness, almost bringing him to the edge of being unconscious. Moreover, Lilith had lived for a really long time, almost as long as a Vampire. Her consciousness was as strong as it could possibly be, even being able to overwhelm a Werewolf.
The eyes of the man turned pitch black as he finally lost control to Lilith. Unfortunately, Lilith wasn't doing much better either. It had taken a lot of effort.
The vines retreated, finally freeing the man who was under the control of Lilith.
He walked closer to the body of Lilith and picked up the key before entering the hallway. So what if Lilith couldn't personally get to Atlan because of all these defenses? There were many who could, and she was using one of them.
Just as she had expected, the formations didn't attack the man's blood-covered body even as he entered the hallway. He walked to the other end of the hallway easily.
Unaffected by defensive spells, the man was able to get to the other end of the hallway without much struggle.
He finally reached the other door, behind which Lilith believed Atlan was being kept. She could feel that this door was the last obstruction that stood between her and the other end of the hallway.
The man stopped before the door and used the key. He tried to insert the key in the keyhole, yet the key just refused to enter. The key just didn't fit.
It was evident that this was the wrong key, but if this was the wrong key, then what was the right one? There were no other keys here. She had already checked. This was the only key here.
