Chapter 5: Vampire Queen Rises
Reality around Lucas began to distort as Entity Integration reached 75%. The air became thick like blood, and the walls of the crypt began to turn a dark, shimmering red. The Devourer’s tentacles wrapped around his body began to channel something more than power—memory, knowledge, and a hunger that spanned millennia.
But then, something unexpected happened.

From the deeper darkness of the crypt, a pale blue light began to radiate. Lucas, still entangled in the Devourer’s tentacles, sensed a shift in the room’s atmosphere. Something else was awakening—something far more elegant and dangerous.
"What... is this?" Lucas whispered, his voice echoing with the eerie harmony of the incomplete fusion.
The blue light grew brighter, and from the depths of the crypt emerged a dazzling structure—a crystal coffin that floated in midair, surrounded by an aura that made even the Devourer seem uneasy. Inside the coffin, Lucas could make out the figure of a woman of deadly beauty.
