"Is there anyone here!!?"
A muffled voice echoed from the Black Iron Coffin into the darkness, then vanished completely...
No one cared.
"Don't pretend you can't see me! I already smell fresh blood!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Eliza banged her head against the coffin lid angrily, complaining as she flailed her legs around.
Help a little!
Just push me, can't you?
Bam!
In the last attempt, Eliza didn't control her strength well, using a force that could almost embed her head into the lid.
With this force, she also felt an astonishing rebound.
Duang——
Her eyes flashed with stars, her mind buzzed, and she looked dazed, almost biting her own tongue.
She maintained this dazed position for a while, then blinked as if waking from a dream, inhaling deeply.
"Hiss——Ah!!!"
Ouch!
Eliza fell silent.
Not just from the pain, but also from the feeling at the moment.
Pain is pain.
But besides the pain, there was also a bit of... enjoyment?
"Tsk..."
Admittedly, this was a feeling Eliza found very conflicting.
Especially as she gradually recognized a certain characteristic of hers after repeated attempts, it became more embarrassing.
As a Legendary Vampire feared by countless people, who personally slaughtered "father" Prince Blood, she was... a masochist?
No!
That can't be true.
It's the coffin that's problematic!
It's all because of it that I'm becoming more and more wrong!
"...Yes, that's it, it must be like this."
Eliza muttered to herself a justification that even she couldn't fully convince, trying to brainwash herself through repetitive suggestions.
Otherwise, did she really have to admit her unusual feature?
Don't want that——
Eliza wouldn't admit it!
That definitely isn't true!
A Vampire maiden who is strong all her life can't accept such reality, and chooses to bury her head in the ground, becoming an ostrich pretending to be deaf and dumb — burying her head in the coffin can also be an ostrich.
After a long while of conflict, Eliza finally managed to distract herself a bit, continuing to seek help through calling.
Still unsuccessful.
Now, Eliza sensed something was wrong, narrowing her eyes.
Previously, that woman would still come over to mock her a bit, why was there not a word now?
Intentional?
"You..."
Are you all intentionally ignoring me?
Thinking of this, Eliza felt her anger rising and clenched her teeth hard.
Damned people!
Even you want to bully me!?
"Hey, you other guy, y-you can come too!"
Eliza tried to connect with another stranger, hoping that dangerous individual would help her.
But... she obviously failed.
Valentina: Eating, do not disturb!
Miss Hungry Dragon was entirely focused on the food, without noticing the surroundings at all.
Eat eat eat.
Munch munch munch munch munch...
After repeated disappointments, Eliza gradually acknowledged reality — she was being ignored.
Meanwhile, Eliza noticed a most speechless fact for herself.
Being abandoned and ignored gave her a bit of excitement and pleasure.
Madness.
She must be going crazy!
This isn't the real me ahhh!
"Forget it, I'm tired... anyone, just come and give me a push ahhh——"
Sadly, no one cared about Eliza's lament.
If it were before, Svanni would have been quite happy to oblige, as she was generally interested in this amusing vampire.
She would help Eliza while adding a little "reasonable" request, engaging in mutual assistance.
But unluckily, the Dark Elf Grand Mage now had her focus diverted by the dragon lady in front.
There's a need to balance priorities; it's important to handle matters of high priority first, not to let things slip.
As for Valentina and Eliza, distinguishing priorities was effortless — Valentina first, Eliza later.
That vampire wasn't urgent to deal with.
Anyway, she can't escape, permanently fixed there, unable to move even if she wanted.
But the Valentina in front was different.
As someone who escaped from other prisons, her case was rather rare and special, parting this time, who knows when she'll meet again.
Eliza? Not familiar.
Just leave her aside for now.
Svanni ignored the sounds from the Black Iron Coffin, putting all her focus on the scene before her.
"..."
She watched Valentina devour her food for quite a while, gazing at her happy smile, and was momentarily lost in thought.
Growl.
Upon hearing this sound, Svanni unexpectedly touched her belly, momentarily unable to recall what this was.
Hmm?
The intestines were moving peculiarly; did the digestive organs have an issue in this body?
Does this Flesh Avatar need nutritional replenishment? Or... oh, no.
Svanni blinked, quickly realizing what the feeling was.
This strange yet familiar feeling was — hunger!
After several centuries, she finally felt hunger again.
Since her youth, Svanni had never had much appetite.
Even eating was merely to sustain life activities, without any demands for food.
And after advancing to Legendary, not needing to eat and surviving solely on Magic Power, she further omitted that time-consuming and laborious action.
