CHAPTER 774: 607 YULOLI’S SPECIAL NATURE

As a vampire, Yuloli naturally possessed the weaknesses common to her race.

These included reduced activity during the day, a slight decrease in ability values under sunlight due to racial penalties, and lower resistance to damage from fire and holy attacks.

In addition, weapons made of silver or mithril could still harm Yuloli’s body. Although such injuries were not fatal, unlike Shalltear Bloodfallen, who possessed low-level weapon damage resistance skills, Yuloli could not completely ignore these metal weapons, and they posed more or less of a threat to her.

Therefore, Yuloli didn’t particularly like to be near silver objects. Although not to the point of fear, she definitely found them disagreeable.

Furthermore, Yuloli didn’t enjoy being active during the day and was relatively more active at night, being a complete night owl.

Of course, this was only a preference she had; it wasn’t that she couldn’t be active during the day.

As an undead vampire, a higher order being than even the True Ancestors, Yuloli had the common weaknesses of vampires but they were not insurmountable. Even direct sunlight had little effect on her, at most causing her to be in a slightly worse mood.

Additionally, Yuloli may have had the vulnerabilities of a vampire, but she also had their advantages.

For example, Yuloli had no vital points. Even if her heart or brain were destroyed, she couldn’t be killed in one strike. Regardless of how much damage she took, she wouldn’t slow down. She could continue fighting non-stop until her undead negative life force (HP) completely depleted, and only then would she fall.

Another example was her immunities as an undead. Yuloli was immune to psychic abilities, could neutralize poison, paralysis, and instant-kill attacks, and didn’t need to eat or breathe. She didn’t even need much sleep, though she would voluntarily go to sleep during the day when she felt unwell to pass the time.

Yuloli also possessed resistance to necromantic magic, invulnerability to ability damage, no need for physical exertion, life regeneration through negative energy, night vision, reduced weakening magic effects, and other racial abilities. She could even reduce damage from all physical attacks except those from silver or magic weapons. Add to that vampire-specific abilities like high-speed regeneration, Charming Demon Eye, life force absorption, and resistance to cold, among many others, it could be said that Yuloli truly underwent a transformation after becoming a vampire.

Incidentally, like Shalltear Bloodfallen, Yuloli could also create lower species that were absolutely obedient to her by draining someone’s blood, i.e., creating lesser vampires.

However, perhaps because vampires are not a magic-singing race but are better suited for warrior-based abilities, Yuloli didn’t use magic. So far, only melee combat has been observed, and no long-range attack capabilities have been found.

Another point of note is that, for a vampire of Yuloli’s level, blood is really just a delicacy, not a necessity for survival.

The reason Yuloli previously had an intense reaction to Reiger’s blood was simply because it seemed particularly delicious to her.

Evidence of this was that Reiger tried to offer blood other than his own to Yuloli, but she was not only unimpressed — she even frowned, apparently not too fond of anyone’s blood but Reiger’s.

Even with Liz’s blood, Yuloli just barely accepted it and did not show much of a liking.

These were all observations made by Reiger after thoroughly monitoring Yuloli.

Therefore, when Liz said that Yuloli was still sleeping, Reiger wasn’t surprised at all; he had come to understand the vampire queen’s daily routine quite well.

To be honest, Reiger felt relieved that Yuloli could obediently stay in the room and sleep like this.

What he feared most was that Yuloli would become like the overlord of death, lose the emotions she had as a human, and eventually become cruel and ruthless, regarding human life as worthless.

As an undead creature with negative life force, it was somewhat understandable that Yuloli would hate the living, but Reiger had no intention of indulging her because of that.

If Yuloli became disrespectful to life and chose to actively trample on it like the overlord of death and Shalltear, Reiger would definitely eliminate her and let her return to dust and earth.

Fortunately, for now, Yuloli had not shown such tendencies. Although it couldn’t be said that she had regained her humanity, under Reiger’s guidance, she could still live normally without attacking others without cause.

Reiger let the servants of the Franzel mansion interact with Yuloli for some time, and it turned out that Yuloli had absolutely no interest in those servants; she didn’t even bother to give them a glance, let alone attack them actively.

At present, the only target Yuloli had actively attacked seemed to be Reiger.

As for the reason, Reiger had some guesses.

"It’s probably because of the skill ’Pioneer of Sunwheel,’ which gave my body spirituality and unconsciously attracted Yuloli, leading Her Highness, the queen, to attack me," Reiger speculated.

Whether this attraction was good or bad, Reiger wasn’t sure.

In theory, it should be bad.

After all, the spirituality brought by ’Pioneer of Sunwheel’ was effective against evil entities, and since Yuloli had become a vampire, she was undoubtedly an evil entity. Naturally, she would feel repulsed by Reiger, who possessed this restraining spirituality, and thus attack him.

On the other hand, Yuloli really liked Reiger’s blood, and if there was anything special about it, it would be the same reason – its spirituality.

From this perspective, it seemed that Yuloli showed a liking for the spirituality in Reiger’s body, giving the impression that she subconsciously approached him because she liked the spirituality in him.

This became a kind of good attraction, which was baffling.

"Could it be because of the Reinnaier bloodline that Her Majesty, even after becoming a vampire, did not become an evil entity, and that’s why she showed a liking for the spirituality in me?"

This was Reiger’s guess.

But if that were the case, why would Yuloli still have all the typical weaknesses of a vampire, such as aversion to daylight, sunlight, fire, silver, and holy attributes?

Walking down the hallway, Reiger couldn’t figure out the reason for this, and he shook his head, casting aside those complex thoughts.

"Forget it, if I can’t figure it out, then there’s no point in overthinking it."

After all, everything about Yuloli had so far been satisfactory, so there was no need to fuss over such a minor issue.

"As long as Her Majesty the Queen doesn’t lose control, everything will be fine."

With such reassurance, Reiger and Liz headed back to the room shared by the two attendants.

"Miss Yuloli, may I come in?"

Liz courteously called out before opening the door and inviting Reiger in.

"I’m coming in."

Reiger also said something symbolically and immediately entered the room Liz shared with Yuloli.

The moment he walked in, Reiger froze.

"Huh... Huh..."

Yuloli lay on the bed, sound asleep, snoring even though, as an undead, she didn’t need to breathe, yet she was putting on the appearance of someone in a deep, rhythmic slumber.

That wasn’t the problem, though.

The problem was that the Queen was sound asleep and stark naked, having kicked off the blankets, exposing a figure that was even more beautiful and mature than Liz’s to the air.

This woman was sleeping in the nude.

"Ah!"

Liz, who had followed Reiger into the room, let out an exclamation at the sight, then hurriedly grabbed the blanket and tossed it over Yuloli’s body.

"I... I forgot Miss Yuloli doesn’t like wearing clothes..."

Liz said, looking at Reiger with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"...You mean to tell me she sleeps like this even when you’re with her?"

Reiger fell silent for a while, curious about this point.

"Mhm." Liz seemed genuinely embarrassed, her cheeks lightly flushed as she muttered, "Not only does Miss Yuloli not like to wear clothes herself, but she also doesn’t like me to wear them. Whenever I sleep with her, she ends up stripping me in the middle of the night without realizing it."

Upon hearing this, Reiger decided that no matter what, they must never allow anyone else to enter the room Liz shared with Yuloli.

No, it wasn’t just about not entering, but also not even getting close.

Even if a maid had to clean the room, it had better be a woman.

Reiger made a mental note of this and planned to have the butler pass on the instructions later.

"I’ll go wait in my room. You wake Yuloli up."

Reiger turned away, forcing himself not to look at the beautiful queen in profound slumber, and said so.

"Yuri should be back soon. Let her see Yuloli."

Since Reiger had brought back such a unique individual as Yuloli, he definitely needed to inform Yuri about her.

Reiger also wanted to consult with Yuri about what had happened at the Reinnaier ruins.

Especially the matter with the "Ice Maidens"—Reiger had a feeling that these individuals were far from ordinary and seemed to be plotting something big behind the scenes.

Regarding these matters, Reiger wanted to solicit the local Yuri’s opinion and also introduce her to Yuloli, to arrange for Yuloli’s identity.

After all, the fact that Yuloli was the last queen of the ancient magic civilization was not something that should be known to others.

For this reason, Reiger needed Yuri’s help to set up an identity for Yuloli so she could walk freely on the continent of Akasha in plain sight.

"Understood, Master."

Liz nodded to show she got it.

Reiger cast a discreet glance at Yuloli and then strode out of the room.

Indeed, this Queen was truly a mature figure like Liz’s ancestor...
