Seconds after I teleport back to Dinsional Block #108, my true form transformation cos to an end. And to my surprise, a notification appears the mont it ends as I return to my regular form.
You have caused damage to a target while in your true form.
Should the target get within one thousand kiloters of you, you will now automatically be transford into your true form.
And the hunt will once again resu.
All rewards for hunting the target will be given after the target is eliminated.
Huh. Didn't see that the last ti I used my true form.
Interesting.
Anyways, after returning to my regular form, I take a look at the vampires and thralls who are still rushing through the portal back to their ho Dinsional Block.
There sure are a lot of them. Makes wonder what the point of bringing them all was.
Not like they actually did anything to . Other than annoy , of course.
Although, I can't help but wonder about Damien. The Lord of Vampires.
He seems to have a lot of screws loose in his head. Even more than I already knew about from the news prior to the Reset.
I an, who would turn an entire Dinsional Block into vampires?
It's ridiculous.
Then again, it doesn't really matter anymore. To at least.
The vampires and thrall are no longer under Damien's control, so they aren't my problem. And they're free to live their own lives. Even if they're still vampires and thrall, technically.
That's their problem though. Not mine.

So I sit here and watch as they all finish leaving the Block, then I head back to The Retreat. Soon finding the Quantum Architect sitting around in my house for so reason.
"Did you sense it?" he asks without giving any ti to say anything the mont I step inside and find him sitting on a random couch.
I raise a brow at that before crossing my arms and asking, "Which one? The strange energy I sensed in the Lord of Vampires, or the strange quantum energy I sensed after I lost him?"
Of the two, the System itself told what the first one was. That being a sliver of corruption. But I'm not sure what the second was.
The Quantum Architect looks out the window next to the sofa as he quietly says, "The strange quantum energy you sensed belongs to the Corrupted One."
My eyes narrow a little.
"I thought the Corrupted One was in hiding?" I ask while crossing my arms and walking over to a different sofa and sitting down myself.
The Architect nods his head, still not looking at when he says, "Yes. He has been in hiding for thousands of years now." He pauses for a second before turning to look at . "But it looks like he's taken an interest in you."
Oh.
That's… not good.
Guess it's pretty clear that the Corrupted One is responsible for the Lord of Vampire's corruption and advancent to Class S. And responsible for his vanishing too.
What I find odd though is the fact that the Corrupted One isn't confronting personally but is instead using a proxy of sorts.
"My uncle is… strange," the Quantum Architect says, briefly reminding of the fact that the Corrupted One is the Ruler's brother. "He's most likely testing you for so reason." He frowns. "Or he just finds this amusing. It's hard to tell for sure."
Well that's… not very helpful.
The Architect turns to look at with what actually looks like worry for the first ti in our entire ti knowing each other. But the expression vanishes just as quickly as he says, "You likely won't have to worry about him attacking you personally."
I blink at the man, briefly wondering if the expression of worry I saw on his face was my imagination or sothing.
Well, putting that aside, I still have the other question I needed to ask him but couldn't before. Even if the whole question about targets isn't sothing I need to ask anymore, what with it being answered by the Lord of Vampire's existence.
"What's a Corruptor?" I ask while titling my head.
He stares at for a few seconds before turning to look out the window again and answering, "A Corruptor is similar to what the Corrupted One himself is. A being that has been fully corrupted yet still retained his sapience. Albeit one whose new goal is to spread corruption across the universe even with their sapience intact."
I frown at that.
"And where can I find one?" I ask, rembering how I need to kill one for my ascension requirents.
In order to reach Tier 5.
The Architect glances at for a second, then he turns back to the window again and says, "You'll find one soon."
I wait for him to say more, but he just glitches out and vanishes without another word. Leaving wondering what he ant by that.
After several seconds pass, though, I just let out a sigh and move on. Heading straight to my bed.
Because I'm rather exhausted.
Haven't really had much rest, especially not in a bed, for a long ti now.
And even if I did get so sleep in The Horror, it's not exactly relaxing to sleep inside the body of a large monster.
So I go ahead and send a ssage to Alara about what happened with the vampires, informing her that his forces won't likely be invading us, then I lie down in bed and stare up at the ceiling.
It's been a very busy past few months…
I wonder how Astrid's doing?
Hopefully she leaves the dungeon soon.
Then there's Ethan. I'm pretty sure he's still inside the dungeon as well.
Well, regardless, I should think about what to do next.
But before that, it's nap ti.
So after letting out a brief yawn, I close my eyes and fall fast asleep.
