Seo Nuri was the sole surviving upper-tier vampire.

She had narrowly escaped death during Vlad Tepes’ ritual, which consumed the power of all other upper-tier vampires.

However, she was far from intact.

"The World Tree… the power of the World Tree…"

Though Vlad Tepes was dead, his blood still coursed through her veins, clouding her judgment.

“I must go…”

What started as a faint whisper in her mind had grown louder and clearer over time, until the blood within her had fully taken control.

Thus, in a daze, she made her way to Busan.

Thunk.

Long before she reached the World Tree, she collided with an invisible barrier, stopping her in her tracks.

This happened at a distance where the World Tree wasn’t even visible, a testament to the vastly expanded domain of Kim Jae-hyun.

Thud.

She fluttered forward, bumping into the barrier multiple times before finally realizing its presence.

“Don’t block me… I must go…”

Vlad Tepes’ cursed blood stirred violently within her.

Bzzzz.@@novelbin@@

The blood, now carrying even greater power from Tepes’ ritual, radiated energy.

Then—

Crack.

The barrier swelled like an overinflated balloon before bursting with a loud pop.

Seo Nuri, her expression blank, floated through the opening.

Fwoosh!
