My Blood Legacy: Reincarnated as a Vampire

Chapter 309: Another tree in the world.

'This man... is he still holding back his power?' Rose thought, watching as Dante began to regenerate further, a shroud of darkness enveloping him and the eyes in the sky starting to disappear.

'H-he is following that path...' Ophis thought, seeing Dante... or rather, her former acquaintance, a man known for shaking the very foundations of the world...

Dante looked at the sky as the eyes started to recede...

"I need to learn to control myself... I'm sure that—" Before he could finish...

"I find it quite convenient that you enter my planet, play with my world, almost corrupt it, and still think everything is fine." He heard a seductive voice.

"Ah... damn..." Dante murmured, realizing that time and space had stopped... Rose and Ophis were frozen, as were the flames of the buildings and the people running.

He had anticipated what was about to happen, but he didn't know they would meet like this...

"Hello, World Tree of Nightsphere," Dante said, turning and giving a nod.

"Hello, Progenitor of Hell," she replied neutrally, as if expecting a clear explanation of what was happening here.

This wasn't the first World Tree Dante had encountered, but this one was undoubtedly unique.

Her wooden horns, curved with precision, exuded a natural majesty, adorned with delicate leaves at the base. Her pink hair, interspersed with small flowers near the horns, fell gracefully over her shoulders, enhancing her ethereal beauty.

The wooden and leaf earrings, perfectly matching her jade-like pale skin, completed the image of a nature goddess, her emerald green eyes watching him with unyielding calm.

She wore a long white dress, adorned with golden details that accentuated every curve, every subtle movement of her body. The accessories around her neck and arms, as well as the long stockings extending to her shoes, created an image of purity and power combined, almost incongruous with the dark environment around her.

For the first time in a long while, Dante found himself slightly surprised. It wasn't just her beauty that impacted him, but the aura of absolute power she exuded. This was an entity not to be underestimated, and he knew that any wrong move could have serious consequences.

"I didn't expect you to be so impressive," Dante remarked, though serious, he was still quite cheeky. "But I suppose I owe you an explanation, don't I?" he questioned, after all... he might have caused a lot of damage to her planet.

Of course, it wasn't his intention, but Dante... was angry...

"Yes," she replied, her expression remaining unchanged, as if expecting more than just words. "What exactly do you intend by crossing my domain, Progenitor?"

Dante looked at her and simply shrugged. "Sorry, I had no intention, just got enraged because of a damned woman who tried to kill me and almost harmed my little daughter there," Dante said, pointing to Ophis.

The woman looked at Ophis with a neutral gaze and then turned back to him. "You don't think I'd believe something like that, do you? Not even your blood resembles hers," she said neutrally.

"Hmm? Oh yes, it's because I'm interested in her mother. Maybe I'll become her father in a few weeks," Dante said again, shrugging. "I need to have a good relationship with the daughter to get to the mother's heart, right?" He added with a mischievous wink, watching the lingering distrust in the World Tree's eyes.

The woman continued to stare at him, her expression unchanged, as if weighing every word Dante said. He knew convincing an entity like her wouldn't be easy, but that didn't stop him from being his usual audacious self.

"Are you serious?" He continued, tilting his head slightly, as if genuinely curious. "What's your name? I don't like using titles to talk to such a beautiful woman." He threw the comment with an ease that bordered on comical, but his eyes were fixed on hers, evaluating every reaction.

"Just don't do this again. Next time, I'll call an administrator," she said, ready to leave.

"Administrator? Why?" Dante asked, even more curious.

The World Tree paused for a moment, turning to him with an expression that mixed exasperation and patience.

"Intrusion, or do you think it's normal for a progenitor to attack a world just because they want to? There are rules to follow, child," she said, as with a gentle wave of her hands, she began to heal the world around her.

The aura emanating from her was restorative; each movement seemed to bring life and peace back to what had been disturbed.

Dante watched in silence, his curiosity growing inside him, but also a recognition of the power she possessed.

The World Tree continued, her voice now more severe: "An attack of such magnitude has terrified every living being, including the plants. You almost condemned this realm." Her words cut like a sharp blade, each syllable carrying a weight Dante could not ignore.

He had underestimated the consequences of his rage, something he rarely did.

And hearing this, being put in his place in such a direct manner, was an experience he wasn't accustomed to facing.

Still, he maintained his composure, even when she mentioned the other world he knew so well.

"If you want to play with your powers, go to your dimension. Maybe that disgusting World Tree there can calm you down," she said, her voice laden with disdain. Read new chapters at m_v-l'e|-NovelBin.net

Dante felt the blow to his dignity, but before he could respond, she was already preparing to leave. "I'm leaving for now; I won't let this happen again," she said, and in the blink of an eye, she began to disappear.

"Wait! What's your name?!" Dante shouted, his tone urgent, almost desperate. He didn't want this interaction to end without at least knowing who the woman was that had confronted and reprimanded him with such authority.

For a brief moment, silence reigned, and then he heard a soft whisper brushing against his ears, as if the wind was playing with his senses.

"Ivy..." was all he heard, the name floating in the air like a vague but significant memory.

Then the world began to spin again, and time started to resume as Dante found himself... a bit lost...

Dante looked up at the sky, still feeling the strangeness of the situation...

"I guess this is the first time a woman has completely ignored me, judged me, exposed me, and then gave me a lecture... Damn..." he murmured. He was used to being feared, respected, but this encounter had caught him off guard.

Dante chuckled softly to himself before getting lost in thought. "Well... what day is it today?" he asked himself, trying to recall the sequence of recent events.

"Let's see... talking with the girls and giving them tasks was one day... the next day, I went out with Nagasawa... it took a day for the king's messengers to arrive, so that's three... and then almost another day to get here, so that's four?... Damn, tomorrow is the summit of the rulers!" he exclaimed, suddenly remembering the important meeting that was coming up.

It was clear that he needed to focus on what was to come, but before he could continue his thoughts, he was interrupted by a familiar presence.

Ophis came running and, without hesitation, hugged Dante's leg tightly. "I-idiot! D-don't do that again!" she said, her small fists hitting his leg and tears streaming down her face.

Dante smiled gently and looked at her. "Are you okay?" he asked, though he knew she was more frightened than anything else. Ophis didn't respond but clung tighter to his leg as if trying to ensure he wouldn't disappear again. Understanding her feelings, Dante knelt and lifted her into his arms, carrying her on his back as a father would his daughter.

As he adjusted her on his back, Rose approached, concerned. "Are you alright?" she asked, observing Dante with a mix of worry and curiosity.

"Yes... it was just a momentary outburst," he replied, trying to downplay the situation, though the encounter with Ivy was still fresh in his mind.

"W-what happened? She said 'it was coming'... what did that mean?" Rose asked, her mind returning to the tense moment, remembering how terrified Ophis had been, something she had never witnessed before.

Dante took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. "Don't worry about it... it was just a... mistake on my part," he said softly, but Rose sensed that he simply didn't want to talk about it...

"Now... I think it's best we head to the Scarlet Mansion... I need to pick up someone... tomorrow is the rulers' summit, and I was summoned..." Dante commented.

"Yes, I know... I'll accompany Vlad," Rose replied.

Dante nodded, understanding the situation. "Alright, then we'll see you there. I need to find someone before the summit," he said, still carrying Ophis on his back, who was beginning to calm down but still clung to him.

Rose looked at him, noticing the seriousness in his gaze. "Who is this person you need to find?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

Dante gave a mischievous smile and casually commented, "My companion? She'll be the most demonic woman of all." He said without revealing much...
