CHAPTER 186 – THE TRUTH ABOUT VALERIE

"Wow, you seem to know me, so I won't beat around the bush, let us pass" - Ophis said.

The ancestor was trembling with fear as Ophis was directing a killing intent towards him so great that it almost brought him to his knees.

"I don't understand, why are you with this wretched demon? Why do you defend it?" - asked the ancestor.

He couldn't understand that were doing this being with a devil, a human, and a half-breed, why was this damned being here and why was she defending them?

"I am here to accompany my husband on his mission" - Ophis said without blinking.

But the ancestor almost fainted from fright, that weak devil was the husband of the most powerful being in the whole world?! What was going on here?!

"What do you want from here, for what purpose are you invading our base?" - asked the ancestor.

Faced with such a being, he had no choice but to give in or he would be dead in a matter of seconds.

"We've come here to get somebody" - I said seriously.

"I wasn't talking to you, you shoddy devil!" – the ancestor said.

But suddenly, and at a speed impossible to see, Ophis walked over to the ancestor and grabbed him tightly by the neck.

"If my husband asks you a question, you answer him, have I expressed myself well?" - said Ophis.

Ophis was extremely angry at the way that insect had spoken to her husband, how had he had the courage to speak to her husband in that way while she was here? That was unacceptable!

As one of the most powerful vampires of all, the ancestor was too proud to speak to a mere devil, but what could he do now that Ophis was choking him? He could hardly breathe, so he had no choice but to put his pride aside.

"Who are you looking for?" - asked the ancestor with difficulty.

In order for him to speak properly, Ophis loosened his neck, causing the ancestor to fall to the ground, but he slowly got up.

"We've come to get Valerie Tepes, she's my friend's best friend" - I said as I pointed at Gasper.

"That's right, give her back to us immediately!" - nodded Gasper.

Now that the ancestor couldn't do anything thanks to Ophis, it was his time, it was time to get her best friend back from the clutches of these psychopaths.

When he heard the name Valerie Tepes, he almost suffered a heart attack, had they really come here to get the user of one of the most powerful longinus back? Valerie had one of the most powerful Longinus known as the Sephiroth Graal, a powerful longinus capable of not only healing, but also resurrecting the dead, talking to them, restoring anyone's youth, and even reducing the abilities of hierrivals, however, her longinus was not a normal one, but a subspecies with 3 Holy Grails, that's why she was so important to the vampires, because they wanted her power, they wanted to extract her Holy Grails and replicate them so that they could have absolute control over life and death, in fact, Valerie was their most important experiment and he couldn't let them take her away or it would be fatal to the vampires.

"Hehe, even if I give her to you, it doesn't matter" - said the ancestor with a smile.

"What do you mean?" – I asked curiously.

The ancestor smiled.

"Thanks to our best experts we have managed to extract two of his three Holy Grails causing him to fall into an irreversible coma, even if I give her to you, you will not be able to do anything because she will never be able to wake up" – said the ancestor with a smile.

Gasper and Elize were surprised to hear this.

"It can't be, you're lying!" – Gasper said angrily.

"Why should I lie? I find myself in a situation where I could die at any moment, I have no reason to lie" - said the ancestor.

At any moment, Ophis could get angry and kill him with a single blow without him being able to do anything, so why should he lie?

"It can't be, Valerie..." - said Gasper.

Then, tears began to fall from her eyes, her friend, her best friend was now in a coma and she could never wake up, now she could never talk to her again, she could never play together again.

It's true that, in the light novel, Valerie lacked two of her three Holy Grails at first, but I don't know if vampires were the cause of that, I remember that one of the reasons why she fell into a coma was because of the overuse of her longinus, but it seems that in this world it's different, It's funny, but that doesn't take away the anger I was feeling right now.

[Don't worry, host, there's a way to get her back to normal]

Seriously? I don't remember the novel very well, I don't remember whether she recovered or not, I don't remember if she dies or not, but I'm interested in healing her, how can I do that?

[Easy, you just have to use the blood of your Celestial Sapien]

What, really, but does he have blood?

[Of course he has blood, but his blood is something special]

Wow, I had no idea, but are you sure her blood will bring Valerie back to normal?

[Very sure, but not only that, her blood will also restore the lost Holy Grails, heal her damaged soul, improve her control over her longinus exponentially, and eliminate other disadvantages such as excess thoughts in her mind]

What the hell, that alien's blood can do so much?

[That's right]

Then... I could cure any disease on the planet with a little bit of his blood, I could become the richest man on the entire planet, no, the entire galaxy!

If I use the blood of the Celestial Sapien in both worlds, I will be able to heal all diseases and become the richest of them all, I will never have to worry about money again.

[I wish life were this easy, but unfortunately it's impossible for you to do that]

What, why? I can heal everything, so why not?

[Because no being could bear the blood of a being like the Celestial Sapien]

And what about Valerie?

[Valerie is different, her Holy Grails make her possess some control over life and death, so a drop of her blood will help her heal all her wounds and improve her control over her longinus, but the reason for this is because she has some control over life and death, any other being would not be able to bear this and would die if they tried to drink it]

I see, anyway, as long as there's a way to heal her, that's the important thing.

"What should we do now? Shall I kill him?" - asked Ophis.

"No, we'll have him give us Valerie anyway, I have a way to heal her" - I denied.

Hearing this, Gasper was shocked and quickly got in front of Kazuya.

"Is that true, can you cure her?!" - asked Gasper nervously.

"I can and I will, I just need to have her in front of me" - I nodded.

"Thank you, thank you very much!" – Gasper said hugging Kazuya.

"You lie, no one can heal her of her state, she will remain like this forever, she will never wake up!" – said the ancestor.

But hearing him speak in that tone to her husband, Ophis gave such a strong pressure that it brought the ancestor to his knees.

"Who gave you permission to speak?" - said Ophis in a murderous tone.

"Damn it" - the ancestor said angrily.

He was at the mercy of Ophis, he couldn't even lift a finger.

"Leave him, Ophis" - I said suddenly.

Listening to Kazuya, Ophis stopped emitting that suffocating pressure.

"What should we do with him, Kazuya?" - asked Ophis.

"I'll fight him" - I said.

When they heard me, everyone was surprised, even Ophis because they probably never believed that I was going to say something like that.

"But Kazuya, there is no need... I can kill him with one blow and get that girl back" - Ophis said.

"No, I want to prove my current strength, I've been training a lot and I want to check the results of my training, but if this goes wrong, I give you permission to intervene" - I said.

Now I have considerable power and I want to test it with this guy, I want to test my power.

"Okay, if that's what you want..." – Ophis said.

Then she turned her gaze to the ancestor on the ground.

"Have you heard my husband? He wants to prove his power by fighting you, but how dare you seriously injure him... your head will fly before you know it" - Ophis said.

The ancestor was astonished, if he fought and won against the devil, he would die at the hands of Ophis, if he lost, he would die anyway, what should he do?

"If you defeat me, we'll let you go after you hand Valerie over to us, but if I defeat you... I'll kill you for being an accomplice in this experiment, Valerie will be my future friend and I'm angry about what you did to her" - I said angrily.

I could already feel my anger building up little by little.

But the ancestor was glad, if he defeated Kazuya, he had a chance to survive, so he had no choice but to fight him, but with his strength, he was sure that he would win.

"Okay, I'll do" - the ancestor nodded.

His victory was already decided, today he would get out of here alive.
