Otaku Witch-Chapter 1520 - 819: Diagnosis: Love (Part 2)

Anne and Adam were somewhat flustered.

The stepmother appeared almost instantly in front of Dorothy, reaching out to protect her behind her. Adam, though a bit less skilled, quickly shielded Anne, placing his wife and daughter behind him.

Dorothy felt a panic rising within her.

Oh no, is my undercover mission exposed before it even started?

However, she quickly adjusted her thoughts, finding the situation understandable.

After all, her disguise was almost entirely stripped during the Devil King’s livestream previously, and the disguise of the Clown Grand Inquisitor had fallen even earlier.

Besides, she wasn’t planning to be undercover today, she was just openly attending a family gathering, wasn’t she?

Alas, she really didn’t expect to encounter the final boss right upon entering.

But there was no need to panic; the problem was serious, but panicking would not help.

The homebody witch looked at Anne and Adam standing in front of her, feeling a bit touched, but eventually, she stepped out from behind them to face the Duchess Loli and the Mature Lady Marquis directly.

"Well, I did receive a task, but I didn’t come for that reason this time; I just wanted to visit Anne and Adam, and I heard there’s a banquet tonight, so I thought I’d come and enjoy some food and drink," Dorothy straightforwardly told the truth.

This caused Ruthfiel to cover her face, giving up on having this young lady maintain any noble etiquette.

Since both sides had laid their cards on the table, etiquette had lost its value.

Alice, on the other hand, was genuinely a bit scared. The little witch nervously grabbed her mother’s hand, looking worriedly at her sister ahead.

She was merely an Elite Witch, not even a Great Witch yet, and really just a little girl in her teens. This kind of situation was a bit too premature for her.

"You’re honest, but also really bold. Aren’t you afraid we might take you hostage?"

Dracula raised a hand to stop her two daughters, who were almost about to take action. The loli-sized Dracula stepped forward to Dorothy, looking up at the calm young witch before curiously asking.

"Actually, I’m not afraid. If you really did take action against me, things might actually get simpler."

Dorothy shrugged, meeting the curious gaze of the Loli Duchess before speaking again.

"Your defection plan is absurd, yet it still holds a slight chance of success. But if you act against me, it’s certain death for all involved, with no possibility of rescue."

The homebody witch spoke earnestly.

And indeed, she was speaking the absolute truth.

Right now, she carried the Commander’s Seal of the Mother Dragon. If the Loli Duchess actually made a move against her, the next moment the Legion of Destruction would immediately descend.

Moreover, the Hat Senior Sister upon her head was still present. Although that disgraceful senior sister often disconnected in the past, today her signal was quite stable. Despite being a useless Sage Level, she was timid among her peers, yet struck heavily below the Sage Level.

Of course, if the Loli Duchess were truly formidable and managed to breakthrough these defenses and capture her, congratulations, Miss Dracula, you’ve made it onto my Good Sister’s blacklist.

Previously, when Dorothy caused an explosion in Japan, she had already been warned in the underworld by her Good Sister. If she were to repeat such an event... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Yes, she might be reprimanded again, but the Vampire Clan would be undoubtedly doomed.

Given the current state of her Good Sister, Dorothy’s usual antics wouldn’t provoke interference, yet if the Homebody Witch was bullied by someone stronger, her Good Sister would be displeased, much like Miss Sword Saint from Japan previously. But since Miss Sword Saint was considered one of their own, as long as Dorothy had no objections, Denisha wouldn’t really take action.

However, if the opponent were an enemy, or a traitorous witch...

There would be nothing to say. If her Good Sister really got angry, Dorothy wouldn’t be able to appease her since she didn’t dare to face her Good Sister’s Divine King avatar, and Denisha in the Underworld was merely an incarnation incapable of controlling her true form.

"Grandmother, I’m burdened with a terrifying curse. Should anything happen to me, even I’m afraid of the consequences. I advise you to remain calm."

Dorothy advised with utmost sincerity.

If only this Grandmother were a genuine villain, the Homebody Witch wouldn’t feel any psychological burden even if she self-destructed.

However, based on the current interactions, it seemed unreasonable to paint all of the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families with the same broad brush.

Dorothy was genuinely worried that if the Loli Duchess lost composure and committed "suicide," the stepmother would truly lose her biological mother.

Although the Homebody Witch was sincere, her words sounded quite different to others.

"Wow, little one, has no one ever told you how arrogant you really are?"

The Loli Duchess looked at the Homebody Witch’s sincere eyes, filled with question marks in her mind.

With her experience and strength, she naturally could tell the young witch wasn’t lying; she was truly concerned she might lose reason and be cursed to die.

But, vampire witches specialized in necromancy, and cursing was second nature. Yet Dracula couldn’t find any curse on the young witch.

It was bewildering; although her strength levels were only Peak Level, her knowledge and experience were undoubtedly Sage Level, especially in the School of Necromancy where she was an absolute authority.

It was impossible for her not to see through a curse.

She wasn’t planning to harm the young witch anyway, since she was Lilith’s treasured daughter and she had acknowledged the little one’s identity, allowing her to call her "Grandmother."

However, Dracula was now a touch curious.

She wanted to see what kind of curse the little one carried.

Thus, deliberately, she allowed a hint of murderous intention to arise in her heart...

And then...

Then there was nothing more.

"Ah..."

A scream erupted in the castle hall.

Dorothy found herself unexpectedly sprayed with a mouthful of blood by the Loli Grandmother.

My goodness, how could this literally be blood spatting?

But there was no time to concern herself with her dirty clothes, because Dracula had already turned pale as usual.

Tsk, a vampire with a flushed complexion is not a good sign, it’s akin to a normal person appearing deathly pale.

"Grandmother, are you alright?"

She hurriedly reached out to support the swaying Loli Duchess.

Yes, she felt light and quite petite in her hands.

"Mother..."

"What did you do..."

"Big sister, calm down..."

The three Marquis sisters quickly began to act.

Elizabeth, the gentle big sister, rushed forward to support their mother, while Camilla, the cold Mature Lady, intended to apprehend Dorothy, but Anne stood in front of her big sister.

"Enough, Camilla, stand down, I’m fine," Dracula’s weak voice stopped the commotion.

Subsequently, with the support of her second daughter, the Loli Duchess staggered to her feet and glanced anew at Dorothy, who was also looking at her with concern.

"Child, how did you acquire this curse? It’s truly terrifying. Was it a Sage who placed it?"

Dracula recalled the immense terror that descended just a moment ago, still filled with lingering fear.

As an ancient witch, she had experienced many grand scenes, yet that moment was indeed her first encounter with such an experience.

At the moment the killing intent arose, the next instant she lost her senses entirely, plunging into complete darkness. An indescribable great terror encompassed her mind instantly.

She didn’t even know how long that terrifying time lasted since she had completely lost all sense of time and space, unable to sense her own body.

Ultimately, there was a return of light amid the darkness, with the simultaneous rise of the sun and moon.

But before she could feel relief, an even greater despair engulfed her heart.

Those weren’t really the sun and moon, but a pair of eyes, with a divine gaze as indifferent as the law of heavenly cycles.

And between those sun and moon eyes was reflected the entire destiny of the Vampire Clan.

An absolutely annihilating doomsday leaving no escape.

Dracula was sure that wasn’t some low-level illusion technique; merely eye contact with the reflected death within those eyes compelled her to scream.

She understood what it represeہ:

Fated death.

A reality fearsome, from which no living creature can escape, the ultimate truth of demise.

...The Loli Duchess, who was shocked...
