The padlock opened as Alice turned the key.
When the lock was removed, the door opened slightly, as if it wasn't perfectly closed.
There was light emanating from the crack of the door, sharp enough to make David's eyes hurt a little when he saw it.
Alice then pulled on the door, making it open slowly.
However, the opening of the door only made the light emanating from it even sharper. David couldn't see inside the door.
Even his eyes went dark for a while.
"Come on in," Alice said.
She pulled David's hand, stepping into the door before David's vision became clear.
After passing through the door, David's vision finally became quite clear.
He found a luxurious room with fancy lights hanging on the walls.
It was more like a palace hall, there was even a throne. It was red in color, having a luxurious design with a domineering style. The owner was probably a very proud figure.
On that throne, there was a golden red human skeleton sitting.
It seemed to have infinite dominance. Just looking at it David felt like he could explode at any time.
In that hall, besides that skeleton, David also saw many rare treasures with spiritual auras, such as weapons and artifacts. There were even stacks of ancient books.
However, the skeleton was indeed the most interesting.
It seemed to be similar to the dragon skeleton, but it was definitely on a different level.
Its aura was extremely lifelike, giving the impression like the skeleton could form flesh in an instant and then become human again.
"What is this?" David spontaneously asked Alice.
David fortunately understood every sentence spoken by Alice.
He did a light nod as he thought of Mery's words saying that there might be certain side effects if he fused with the dragon skeleton.
He then said, "I'm also interested in fusing with my dragon skeleton, but Erza said there might be certain side effects."
Although it wasn't Erza who said it, Mery clearly gained knowledge from Erza.
"That girl doesn't know anything. If you fuse with the dragon's skeleton, you will only have the dragon's power, even you can't turn into a dragon because your power won't allow that. Your power is more proud of your human figure. You also won't get any side effects such as the dragon's characteristic dislike of human foods....
Well, I thought you just didn't want to merge with the dragon skeleton, it turns out you misunderstood something."
David, "..."
After knowing all that, David began to regret not fusing with the dragon skeleton.
It wasn't just about gaining the dragon's various abilities, but because fusing with the dragon skeleton would definitely increase his strength by a large amount.
Only, now he became even more astonished at Alice.
The problem was that if he fused with the Vampire Ancestor's skeleton, it meant that he was in control of the fate of all Vampires.
Alice would give something like this to him, isn't she too crazy?
David could not help but pull her hand so that her body was facing towards him.
He then hugged her gently while caressing her face.
"Dear Alice, we are eternal lovers who love each other forever, I guarantee it, but there is no need to give me this much. I find it hard to have control over an entire race and that includes you," David said, speaking honestly.
Maybe if the Vampires turn against him and he gets this opportunity, he can take it.
The problem was that there were already two vampires who loved him very much. It made him uncomfortable if something like that happened.
However, Alice suddenly shook her head. She put her index finger on his lips, as if she was asking him not to speak.
"It's not easy for me to love a man. And if I love a man, I can't calm down before the man I love is at the unreachable peak," she said.
