Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

Chapter 323: The Veil of Night

If the God of Dreams was targeting Loren because of the Perpetual Observer, logically, it should have called upon the other gods as well.

The interests and entanglements among the gods are immense, each racking their brains trying to eliminate the others, but the Perpetual Observer is their common taboo. Different gods are all doing their utmost to erase the existence of the Perpetual Observer.

If the God of Dreams truly had evidence linking Loren to the Perpetual Observer, Loren estimated he would be besieged by all the gods the very next second.

Unless the God of Dreams had other objectives.

The God of Dreams has always been the most insidious god. The fact that it chose to take the initiative to attack was abnormal in itself.

After dealing with the traces, Loren flew back home with Scarlett. It was already deep into the night, and the house was very quiet.

Loren tiptoed back to his own room, afraid of waking the others, only to find everyone except Luna lying on his bed.

"......"

Loren lifted the unconscious Scarlett out of the burlap sack and gently placed her in the empty spot on the bed. Then, Loren himself lay down in the very center of the bed. They had even cleared out the spot where Loren usually slept.

The night passed without incident. The next day when Loren woke up, Luna was already gone; she had left for school right on schedule.What the school could teach, Loren taught better. After being taught by Loren for so long, Luna had directly become a top student upon returning to the academy.

In fact, if Luna were willing, she could completely film an entire "Dragon King" short drama at the academy.

However, Luna's main purpose in returning to the academy was still for Jessica. She now had the foundational knowledge, and it was time to discuss the next steps with Jessica.

After breakfast, Loren dragged Scarlett to re-set up his laboratory. After another afternoon of research, Loren had completely perfected the magic that could help Lilith avoid the sun.

"Quick, Lilith, come and try it."

Loren was somewhat excited. He ran straight back to the bedroom to find Lilith; she basically hadn't left the bedroom much.

Although she was a vampire, her sleep schedule was the same as Loren's—active at night, resting during the day. The time she could move freely was spent sleeping, a habit she had developed in the Uridia Kingdom.

Loren placed his hand on Lilith's head. Slowly, darkness enveloped Lilith.

In Loren's view, Lilith hadn't changed much, just darkened a bit. However, Loren knew very well that this magic also carried effects of cognitive concealment and facial blurring, but they were simply ignored directly by Loren's True Sight Eye.

Loren grabbed Lilith's wrist and released an ultraviolet light spell. When the ultraviolet light shone on Lilith's arm, nothing happened.

For the sake of experimental rigor, Loren increased the output of the ultraviolet light. Lilith still did not suffer any harm, proving that Loren's research was a success.

"【Veil of Night】. That's the name of this spell. It should be considered a third-tier spell.

"This spell, once I cast it, I can maintain it continuously. The consumption isn't high; it can basically be kept on forever.

"With this, you can go out during the day like everyone else, without worrying about being left behind by us again."

Loren placed his hand on Lilith's head and spoke.

He had been researching this spell for a long time and only now succeeded.

"Thank you..."

Lilith revealed a faint smile. She actually also had a bit of an expressionless face. Unlike Mirrorheart's deliberate one, Lilith seemed genuinely unable to make expressions with much amplitude.

Having lived alone for so long, Lilith hadn't exchanged more than a few sentences with others. Her facial muscles had become somewhat stiff.

"It just so happens there's still some time before dinner. Let's go out for a stroll."

"Okay."

After Lilith agreed, Loren took her hand and led her out of the house.

The moment the door opened, Lilith instinctively shielded her eyes. This was her first time seeing such dazzling light, and she couldn't adapt for a moment.

"If it's too bright, wear these."

Loren handed Lilith a pair of sunglasses. He had already considered this point.

Lilith nodded. She took off the eyepatch Loren had sewn for her, revealing the placid, ancient-well-like black eyes beneath.

She carefully put away the eyepatch, and only then put on the sunglasses.

Lilith looked quite cute wearing the sunglasses. Loren couldn't help but pinch her cheek, then took her hand and led her on the path towards the market.

During the journey, Lilith looked around left and right like a curious baby. Everything during the daytime was novel to her.

As a vampire, she couldn't appear during the day, and the Uridia Kingdom didn't have daytime either. This was the first time in her life she had seen such a scene.

People passing by would greet Loren. Due to the magic, they also subconsciously ignored Lilith beside Loren. Lilith didn't mind this at all; she only needed Loren's attention. Everyone else was completely unimportant.

"Let's go buy some desserts."

Loren spotted a dessert shop and pointed it out for Lilith.

Anna frequented this shop often; the taste was pretty good.

As for whether eating too many sweets would ruin one's appetite for the main meal, Loren wasn't worried. Lilith had strong self-control and wouldn't overeat. Loren could tell from the fact that she had kept that lollipop for nearly a hundred years.

As for Anna, the concept of "eating too much" was foreign to her.

"Okay."

Lilith tightened her grip on Loren's hand, afraid of being separated from him.

Loren took Lilith to pick out some desserts at the shop. By the time they came out, the sun was almost setting.

"Want to go up into the sky and enjoy the sunset?"

Loren looked towards the horizon. The lingering sun was like blood. This red was different from the eerie, bloody moonlight; it was actually quite beautiful.

"Okay."

Lilith wrapped her arms around Loren's neck. Loren still held the packaged desserts in his hand. He hung the desserts on his wrist, picked Lilith up, and flew into the air with her.

Behind Loren was a pair of black feathered wings. He flapped his wings, hovering in the air, appreciating the setting sun with Lilith.

"The sun is so beautiful..."

Lilith sighed with emotion, and Loren echoed in agreement.

He felt somewhat emotional. Thankfully, the authority of the sun had not been completely stolen.

The authorities of light and fire were both in the hands of the God of Light and Fire. Its greatest goal was also to obtain the authority of the sun. At that point, it could truly control this world.

The sun was far more important than the moon. Without the moon, people could still live, but without the sun, there would truly be no way to survive.

The sun completely set, and the time turned bloody again. The eerie moon hung high in the sky. Starlight flickered, wanting to devour the moonlight, while the moonlight resisted tenaciously.

"Let's go back."

Loren landed directly on the rooftop of his house. Another day had passed, bringing the Divine War a little closer.

"No matter what happens, I will also protect you forever."

Lilith sensed Loren's mood. She raised her hand high and placed it on Loren's face.
