Chapter 37: The Last Hunt (Part II)
"Time began to flow again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Eve landed gracefully on the ground, twelve blood-stained knives in each hand.
The bats, which were still flying around just a moment ago, stopped all their movements at the same time, and couldn't even flap their wings. Then, a rain of bats fell in the room, and countless pairs of crimson bat wings fell to the ground in unison, shattering in mid-air before touching the cold floor, turning into a mist of blood and finally nothingness.
"Mission accomplished. Eve said coldly.
She wiped the blood from her dagger briefly, tucked them back into its scabbard, and walked towards the door without looking back.
"Crimson Demon", this name is really loud, but it is not really a fight. If nothing else, her mission is over.
Unfortunately, an "accident" is an accident because you can never anticipate it.
As she was about to reach the door, Eve suddenly tripped over something, stumbled, and nearly fell to the ground. She looked down, only to see two bright red chains wrapped around her ankles.
The chain was grounded at one end, her feet were firmly tied at the other end, and she was still crawling up her calves, like two blood-stained pythons, once they bite their prey, they will not let go.
"Damn, when the hell ......?"
Frightened, Eve hurriedly drew her knife and slashed at the chains. What she didn't expect was that the knife went straight through the chain and slashed at her own ankle.
Yes, through. The chain that had strangled her with pain lost its form at once, and the knife passed through it without hindrance and cut into her own flesh.
"How is this possible?"
She thought she was dazzled, but the sharp pain in her ankle forced her to recognize reality.
Draw the knife to cut off the water and the water will flow more.
She took it for granted that the two chains were made of metal, but she was still too naïve and careless. After slashing it down, it was discovered that it was not solid at all, but some kind of liquid, specifically, condensed blood. This miscalculation cost her dearly.
Its surface glowed with a strange sheen, and it was too dazzling in the dim candlelight. Eve didn't know if it had life, but it was now sucking her life - it was constantly absorbing the blood gushing out of the wound and building itself up.
Eve fell to her knees, not because she wanted to, but because the chains had climbed to her knees, forcing her to lower her weight so that she wouldn't fall to the ground. The tangled area is gradually losing sensation and getting colder, and it is very bad to go on like this.
"Damn, shit, shit!" she cursed to herself.
If she wasn't so conceited, she hurried to confirm the life and death of the enemy after the first blow......
If she wasn't so careless and could have spotted the trap under her feet in advance......
If she hadn't spun her mind a little quicker and hadn't been in a hurry to cut the chains......
If she hadn't made these mistakes, she wouldn't have been as embarrassed as she is now.
Unfortunately, there is no if, and if people make mistakes, they will have to pay the price.
"There's no need to leave in such a hurry, Miss Hunter?"
A figure emerged from the shadows in the depths of the hall and slowly walked towards her. Even if she doesn't think about it, she knows who this guy is.
"Remilia!"
Eve let out a roar, and once again entered the still world. In the next instant, twenty-four daggers appeared in front of Remilia.
"It's useless!"
With a flick of her wings, Remilia unleashed a tornado of red light, knocking her knives to the ground. This kind of attack, which was neither capable nor skillful, and purely gambling in nature, was no threat to her.
"You're just a turtle in an urn now, dying and throeping. ”
Remilia laughed at Eve's ugliness as she waved her hand and flung out two new chains. Unbound by gravity, the two vipers sped towards Eve, who was defenseless and immobile, wrapping their arms around her left and right, and hoisting her into the air.
Eve's limbs were chained, and her whole body was dragged off the ground by chains, and even if she could tear through time, she might not be able to rely on those extra seconds to win. This time, the huntress was a complete defeat.
"You've been tricked!" Eve shouted at Remilia, who was approaching, "whether it's a bat or a chain, it's the same thing after all, your blood!"
It's all dying, and all she cares about is still the winner or loser of this battle. Luckily, she finally saw through the other party's tricks, albeit a little late, but it was able to keep her from dying like many of her peers.
"You guy, you deliberately released bats to attract my attention, but the main body is hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity. When I kill all those bats, I'll be fooled by you!"
"Half pairs. ”
Remilia slowly rose from the ground, floated to her level, pinched her chin, and said triumphantly:
"You think you've killed all the bats, but have you really counted the number of bats? The part you killed was reorganized into the two chains on your feet, and the part you didn't kill made up who I am now. ”
"Tricks, children's tricks. ”
"And what are you who lost to a child?"
Remilia grinned, a little hideous. The pair of sharp canine teeth glowed white, dangling in front of Eve as if demonstrating.
"Speaking of which, do you know why I was able to defeat you so easily?"
The vampire didn't rush to drop his prey, and threw up such a question.
"Why?"
"Because I know exactly what you're capable of, your fighting style, the purpose of your trip, and the time of your arrival. For example, the extent of your movement in the time you stopped is not large enough for you to discover me hiding in the dark, and for example, the length of time you can stop is not enough for you to break free from the chains. ”
"And you can neither turn the past nor predict the future. Remilia smiled and said, "After all, you're just a mortal. ”
Cold nails roamed gently back and forth across Eve's neck, scratching her unbearably itching.
"And then, here's the fun part, do you know where I got this information?" asked the vampire girl in a whisper, deliberately leaning into her ear.
The cold, unheated, breath poured into her ear canal, making her scalp tingle. She knew that the vampire was playing with her and her prey, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"It's your most beloved Eduardo teacher!"
This sentence made Eve Patel's heart fall directly into the ice cellar.
"Liar!" Eve roared.
It's impossible. Why would her fatherly teacher betray her to vampires, and what good would it do the church to let her die at the hands of vampires?
And most importantly, why did her mentor betray her? What reason did he have for doing so? Could it be that his earnest teachings, his shushing and warmth, were all plays? This is simply impossible!
"I didn't lie to you! look......"
The vampire pulled a piece of letter paper out of the pocket of his skirt and read it aloud:
"Honorable Lord Remilia, let's go it, it's a threat to you and me, it's been getting out of control lately, it's going to be done, it's going to be ......."
"Ah, because this broken letter is really long and smelly, just like the big strip of human beings, so you can see for yourself!"
As she spoke, she placed the letter in front of Eve.
"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Looking at Eve's bloodless face, Remilia suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart, "It was your own mentor who asked you to carry out this suicide mission, and then revealed all your information to me, for fear that I would not be able to defeat you." ”
"Actually, even if you don't have that information, you're no match for me!"
"No...... It can't be ......," Eve trembled and sobbed, muttering to herself, "Impossible, he couldn't do it......"
She recognized the handwriting on the letter, and she recognized the style of the writing. She already knew the facts, but she refused to accept it.
"Even escapism isn't useful!Speaking of which, you don't really think that the Vampire Hunter Organization is a Justice League that punishes evil and promotes good, do you?
Remilia's laughter pierced her ears and didn't stir up a ripple in Eve's heart. Her mind was blank, unable to receive any information or think.
It's better to kill than to kill, the strongest vampire hunter in the past no longer exists, and now Eve is just a walking corpse.
"Actually, I didn't want to let you die for no apparent reason. Remilia smiled slyly and made another calculation.
"Why don't you do it, I'll let you go first. How about you go back and find out why you were betrayed, and then come to me to die? I know you're going to come back. ”
Eve couldn't pretend she hadn't heard that.
