Yunyu was chilling around inside his room with the system. Days were very boring for him, because he couldn't leave this room. He couldn't roam around, heck, he couldn't even go to the toilet, because it had been barred by the light screen.
"You don't need to defecate, why do you need the toilet?" Pupa asked.
"W'Well, I need to solve my physical need sometimes," Yunyu said truthfully.
Of course the system knew, because it could read Yunyu's mind. The system also knew that human male needed to solve physical needs every now and then, but it didn't understand why would Yunyu need to masturbate in the toilet when he could do it here?
"You can just do it here," Pupa suggested.
"No! You'll peek!"
"'¦ you do realize that I'm bound with you in every world, right? I don't need to peek when I can see everything in Ultra HD," Pupa didn't understand Yunyu's mind sometimes, because Yunyu was its youngest host so far, Pupa didn't understand this shame of being of a young blood when being discovered.
Suddenly, Pupa could sense someone was coming, it turned invisible and warned Yunyu, "Someone is coming, but it's not Michael, be careful."
Yunyu stood upright immediately, his eyes darted at the door. He could hear the steps of someone, then not long after, a group of people also followed. The door was suddenly opened from outside, an old man around his sixty was standing on the doorway, the Head Priest smiled at him. Behind the Head Priest, there was a group of people dressing in black.
"I see that Saint Michael has set up a holy light screen around your room, smart move," Head Priest said, he touched the light screen and his hand felt a slight sense of burning.
"He also strengthened it every day, he must've been paying so much attention to you, Vampire Duke," Head Priest said, "Only a saint or saintess can bypass this holy screen, unfortunately."
"You know that you can't bypass the light screen, leave now," Yunyu said. He was a bit intimidated by the Head Priest right now because he had plenty of henchmen behind him. Besides, Yunyu had been weakened due to Michael's holy magic, he had been reduced to almost a regular human.
"I can't bypass this light screen?" Head Priest smiled mysteriously, he took out a bottle from his sleeve, the bottle contained a dark red liquid, "As a vampire, Duke must've known what is inside this bottle, right?"
Yunyu could sense it instantly, it was human blood, but the blood was strange. Because Yunyu felt that his body was burning only by looking at it, "Whose blood is that?"
"It's the dead Saintess' blood," Head Priest replied lightly.
"How could'"
"How could I get her blood? She died hours before Michael's ascension to be the new saint, so I bribed his holy knights and entered the room. I take some of her blood because I know the Saintess' blood can be useful in certain situations, like this."
The Head Priest opened the bottle and he started smearing Saintess' blood on his face, his hands and leg. It created a horrible sight, even for Yunyu. An old man with a bloody face and hand grinned at him.
The Head Priest touched the light screen and the holy light screen responded by weakening. The Head Priest bypassed the holy light screen without trouble at all.
Yunyu gasped when the Head Priest walked towards him. He subconsciously took a few steps back until he was cornered like a small rat. The Head Priest grinned from ear to ear, "Tell me, what do you feel now? Michael set up this holy light screen to protect you from harm, and the holy screen depletes your power. But the same protection becomes a prison for you, you can't escape."
Yunyu gritted his teeth. The Head Priest was right, he couldn't escape, all he could do was to fight and kill this creepy old man. Yunyu jumped in to strangle the Head Priest, but the Head Priest was well prepared. He took a jug from his pocket and splashed some of the water to Yunyu.
"Ah!" Yunyu shielded his face. The Head Priest had just splashed the holy water to his face. Although Yunyu had protected his face, few drops hit his eyes, and he was blind for a moment.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) Yunyu backed off like a cornered rat again, trying to recover his sight. The Head Priest took out a silver stake and walked in front of Yunyu. He pulled the Duke's collar and said, "Michael will be heartbroken and kill everyone after your death, and I will return back to my position as people's hope."
The Head Priest stabbed Yunyu's heart with the silver stake.
Yunyu screamed in agony, and at the same time, Michael finally arrived.
"No!" Michael shouted.
The Head Priest looked at Michael's direction, he was taken aback by Michael's sudden arrival. Yunyu gathered all his remaining strength and sharpened his nails, he stabbed Head Priest's neck with his sharp nails.
"Argh! You!" The Head Priest released Yunyu. He tried to cover his neck from bleeding, but the wound was grievous and the Head Priest fell on the ground, with his bleeding neck, he died.
Michael saw everything, but he was unresponsive for a moment. Until the Head Priest finally dropped dead, he rushed towards Yunyu and pulled the silver stake from Yunyu's heart.
Yunyu was dying at this point, it was too late, Michael was one second too late.
"Duke! Don't leave me! I'I will find a way to save you!" Michael hugged the Duke on the floor, he wanted to carry the Duke out and tried to find a way to save the Duke, but the Duke grasped Michael's robe and shook his head.
"It's too late, I have no more time'¦" The Duke's pale face had turned bluish, and his body started getting transparent, "Head Priest is the one who killed me, and I already avenged myself'¦ you don't need to avenge me. You don't need to kill anyone'¦" the Duke said weakly.
"No! I will never let go! I will avenge you!" Michael cried for the first time in many years. His tears dropped on the Duke's face, but it created a burnt spot. Michael wiped his tears, trying not to cry because he didn't want to hurt the Duke even more.
Michael glared at the Head Priest's henchmen who were scared silly by the sight of the Saint. They wanted to run away, but Michael put a spell on them and there froze on the spot, unable to move their body.
"From them first, they are Head Priest's henchmen. I will burn them to ashes!" Michael said with eyes full of hatred.
The Duke grasped Michael's collar tighter, "Don't'¦ I beg you, don't'¦ kill'¦"
When Michael heard the Duke begged for him to stop, Michael saw the pleading gaze of the Duke. He bit his lips and finally released the spell from Head Priest's henchmen. They ran away with tails between their legs.
The Duke was relieved when Michael let them go, he smiled at Michael, "Be a good saint, be a saint that becomes the hope for everyone."
Michael's lips trembled, his eyes were getting teary again, but he wiped it again, afraid of hurting the Duke, "Duke, I'm sorry. I'm the one who locked you here, I'm the one who killed you'¦"
"I know your good intentions'¦ it is all by God's will'¦" The Duke's body was getting more transparent and Michael felt that the Duke would disappear soon. He clenched the Duke's body and embraced him tightly.
Michael didn't want to say anything, because it was too painful for him to bear. He just wanted to feel the Duke in his hand.
"Michael, be a good saint'¦"
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 100%! The world has been completed! Congratulations host!]
It was the last words of the Duke before his body disappeared. His body actually dissolved into light particles, just like previous saints and saintesses. The Duke finally returned to God as a saint, not a cursed Vampire Duke.
Michael sat there in silence, he was staring at the last light particle before it disappeared, like a dead firefly.
[Duke Damien dissolves into a light particle? So he is accepted as a Saint?]
[Pupa: You as Yunyu got accepted as a saint by God of this world, not Duke Damien. If it was Duke Damien, he would turn into ashes.]
Yunyu's soul floated around Michael who still sat on the same spot motionlessly. There was a deep sadness in his eyes.
[He will be a great saint, right?]
[Pupa: I guarantee you that he will be the greatest saint this world, no saints or saintesses after him can achieve the same grace as him. He will live as a legendary saint.]
Yunyu stared at Michael and patted Michael's head, "I will leave now, Michael. I hope you can forget me. Find your own happiness."
[Pupa. Let's go.]
