The masked man's blood seemed like the final strike, breaking through Charlotte's long-standing psychological defense line. Her gaze turned mad. The Lady Lord silently flew up, caught up with the masked man, and stabbed the Soul-devouring Blade into his chest again, blood splashing once more.

One stab, two stabs, three stabs...yet none hit vital points. It was as if Charlotte wanted to dismember the masked man, torturing him to death to vent her inner hatred.

Strangely, the masked man felt no pain, did not plead. The expression on his face was even crazier than Charlotte's, as if to say, "Let the storm come more fiercely."

"Hahaha... Kill me, kill me, I was the one who turned you into the Blood Clan. If you kill me, your bloodline will be completely unbound, your power will soar. The stronger you become, the faster Cain's bloodline will awaken. When the time is right, the followers will sacrifice you; you are destined to be the Blood Residence's offering!"

The masked man seemed insensible to pain, laughed madly, a chill of insanity in his laughter.

"My fate, Charlotte's fate, lies in my own hands, not subject to anyone's whims, not anybody's offering. Even if the Blood Residence is reborn, I will destroy them, a tribute to our family's fallen heroes, die!" Charlotte coldly spoke, expressionless, once again raising the Soul-devouring Blade, heavily stabbing it into the masked man's heart. The domineering Lady Lord had returned.

The Soul-devouring Blade shimmered with a dark light, carrying an eerie curse. The masked man's eyes widened, then slowly started collapsing, his body collapsing too, and within breaths, he became a dried corpse.

With a bang, Charlotte smashed the dried corpse to the ground, which shattered like glass, then crumbled into powder. Charlotte landed, whipping up a whirlwind, carrying the powder to scatter in the air of the castle hall, leaving no trace of the masked man.

Such a domineering Soul-devouring Blade, such mysterious curse power; Lin Tian witnessed this scene with hidden amazement. Since the Soul-devouring Blade absorbed the curse power of the Eye of the Creator, it had grown much stronger, more enigmatic and unpredictable than during the ancient battlefield.

"Sister..." Rossi, seeing Charlotte standing still, wanted to approach anxiously. Lin Tian pulled him back, shook his head at him.

"Brother Tian, about sister..." Rossi said worriedly, not understanding why Lin Tian stopped him.

"Your sister's emotions and energy are extremely unstable. Be cautious of the curse power on the Soul-devouring Blade harming you; your strength cannot withstand it," explained Lin Tian.

Hearing this, Rossi was even more worried: "Then won't sister be in danger?"

Lin Tian thought for a moment, shook his head: "There shouldn't be danger. Although that Blood Clan spoke wild words, one thing he said was very true: Charlotte killed him, her power might level up. Back then, the Thirteen Blood Hosts were only third-generation Blood Clan, but they killed second-generation Blood Clan, absorbing their power, making Blood Residence stronger."

"Although Charlotte might not surpass the Blood Residence of those times, her power will definitely have a leap. Her body's energy is extremely unstable, a sign before leveling up," Lin Tian stated seriously, eyes fixed on Charlotte.

Charlotte had his zombie blood flowing inside her, so he could feel her changes more clearly.

Rossi, though trusting Lin Tian unconditionally, was still anxious, gazing at Zhang Lingyu, again full of doubt.

Zhang Lingyu nodded, affirmed, "Lin Tian is right. Your sister is about to level up, do not disturb her. If the process is interrupted, no one knows the consequences."

"Okay, okay..." Rossi said, repeating his agreeable words, excitement replacing anger, as his sister's level-up was imminent;

At this moment, Charlotte closed her eyes in the hall, then opened them after a while, revealing silver eyes, vampire fangs emerging.

"Ah..."

Charlotte made a strange sound from her throat, trembling all over, her back suddenly extending a pair of giant bat wings, sharp claws, and spikes flashing coldly as if piercing any solid defense.

Complex and mysterious patterns covered the black bat wings, with one-third gold and the remaining two-thirds silver. Though it's unclear what it represents, Lin Tian faintly felt it related to the Blood Clan's strength.

Rossi and Ai Wei both widened their eyes, mouths agape, seemingly witnessing something incredible.

"Pri...Prince..." Ai Wei stammered.

"Sister, you...you...Prince..." Rossi was equally shocked, unable to complete a sentence.

However, Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu understood, recognizing Charlotte had leveled up to Prince rank. Though a title, it also represented power; in the Blood Clan, only reaching a certain strength could one be Prince.

"Master, I've advanced!" Charlotte turned, addressing Lin Tian first, naturally calling him Master, no resistance, her mindset subtly changing.

"Congratulations, for your power progressed further." Lin Tian sincerely congratulated her. He did not fear Charlotte growing stronger, not because she was under his control, but because her newfound strength would allow her vengeance for her family.

Don't speak of repaying grievances with kindness; a parent's revenge is irreconcilable, and even more for entire families. Only blood for blood can memorialize those lost heroes.

"I owe thanks to Master and Zhang Lingyu; without you, I may never know the truth or level up to Prince so quickly." Charlotte expressed gratitude, her attitude towards Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu completely transformed.

"Brother Tian, I also thank you." Rossi earnestly stated.

Lin Tian waved it off: "No need to thank me, as long as your sister doesn't trouble me in the future, I'll be content."

"I only bothered you before because you refused to be my guardian Knight; do you really look down on me?" Charlotte said almost coyly, losing some of her commanding presence, revealing a bit of a tender, girlish demeanor.

Lin Tian stared dumbfounded; the domineering Lady Lord—no, now Princess—could display such a charming manner, causing Lin Tian, accustomed to beauty, to have his heartstrings briefly plucked.

"Ahem..." Lin Tian pretended to cough to cover his embarrassment, changing the topic: "Uh, I see mysterious patterns on your bat wings, some silver, some gold. Why is that?"

"The higher the rank in Blood Clan, the more complex the bat wings' patterns. When patterns are entirely silver, it signifies Lord-level strength; when one-third turns gold, it's initial Prince strength. That's my current state." Charlotte explained.
