Chapter Seventy-Three: The Vampire (Part I)

How...... What's going on? How could I ...... Falling to the ground?

When things changed in front of him for a moment, Kahlan hadn't even been able to react. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Trembling and stiffened, he lowered his head and watched as the vampire who pressed him underneath him was tearing at the flesh of his torso, chewing on his internal organs, the bright red blood staining his vision.

The cold fangs and sharp pain sent the tall and skinny man who couldn't believe it into an unparalleled panic.

"Uhhhh!!!!!h

Terrible screams echoed through the darkness of the Church of the Holy Cross. The vampire, who has been hungry and thirsty for thirty years, is skinny, desperately sucking and biting the delicious food in front of him, like a hungry wolf, but far more terrible than a wolf!

"Don't...... I throw in the towel...... I don't dare anymore...... Help me, help me, you can do whatever you want, ah!!!!hh

Karan, who fell into a collapse and became incoherent, completely lost his former grace. The vampire's steel claws pierced his arm, depriving him of the last chance of escape.

Flesh and bone separated, blood splattered, unrecognizable visceral flesh foam...... The powerful wizard and spellcaster, Lord Karan, is being eaten and wiped clean by the vampires little by little, and he is not willing to waste any of it.

Spreading his fangs, already covered in minced flesh and blood, he bit down on Karan's neck. The tall and thin man who was still screaming just now seemed to have stopped breathing, his gray eyes widened, and his body kept twitching.

In just a few breaths, the ruddy skin quickly withered, dry and wrinkled into blue-black, the relatively strong body sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the teeth in the mouth continued to fall out, and the whole person was already a skeleton with skin and bones......

Even though it had been smoked to a dry corpse, the hungry vampire still didn't let go of Kalan's corpse, still biting and biting, his bruised tongue licking back and forth on the white bones of Sensen, savoring the last taste.

Loren, who was hiding behind, slowly pulled out the steel sword behind him, and for the first time his eyes showed a nervous look, not daring to have even the slightest slackness.

This time, the opponent was not a low-level mutant species like a ghoul, but a high-level life being above the human food chain - even Kalan, an experienced spellcaster, couldn't hold out in front of this monster for even a few seconds!

Yes, the vampire who was defeated by Peter and imprisoned for another thirty years was certainly not in its prime, but it was far stronger than an ordinary human being.

The reason why I didn't take advantage of the fact that the other party was still sucking Kahlan was because vampires were very special monsters. They do not become weak because they have not sucked blood for a long time, on the contrary, this long thirst makes them more aggressive, and will attack any good meal in their eyes at all costs.

Be patient enough to wait until the beast is well fed and drunk, when it is most defenseless......

The blade of the sword sank at his feet, and the silent footsteps slowly approached from the side, slowly approaching...... This monster is very powerful, but if it is stabbed in the cervical vertebrae or tail vertebrae, it can be as fragile as livestock.

The monster lying on Kah'an's corpse was still enjoying its "deliciousness", completely oblivious to the fact that a figure in the darkness was slowly approaching.

"Bang!"

There was a slight movement in the distance outside the door, and the vampire who was chewing his head stopped suddenly, his scarlet eyes wandering to him almost immediately.

Damn it!

Between the lightning and the fire, Loren immediately threw out the ignition agent on his waist, and then his left hand with the "spellcaster" glove crushed the spell floating in the palm of his hand, and the cold void power instantly filled his body, and two more indigo patterns appeared under the corners of his eyes.

"Beyond perception"!

The ignition agent in mid-air had already exploded into a burst of fire, and the purple monster actually tore the explosion flames into pieces directly, howling and rushing at itself!

"Bell-!!!!"

Loren, who instinctively reacted to the steel sword, heard a piercing grinding sound in his ears - just blocking the vampire's claws, leaving three marks on the brand-new steel sword, almost breaking the blade!

The roaring monster didn't give Loren time to think. The narrow bat wings opened, and in the blink of an eye, the purple figure had already moved to the ceiling of the church.

A terrible scream came from overhead, and Loren, who didn't even have time to look, slid away from the spot and threw out another dagger at the same time. The vampire didn't even mean to dodge, and the short sword that flew out of the bat's wings was torn apart like a piece of paper.

He could only see the pair of scarlet eyes, the monster had already appeared in front of him, and the long sword that he struggled to stab had been blocked by the claws, and the claws that grabbed the steel sword made a "squeak" screeching sound, and the silver-white sword body was crushed into pieces by it!

Loren, who immediately let go of the hilt of his sword, slid backwards, and before his right hand, which had snapped his fingers, could make a sound, the vampire with its fangs baring was already biting his neck.

Oh no!

Instinctively, Loren's body fell backwards, and Loren's body, which had escaped death, lost its balance, and the cloaked figure flew upside down and slammed into the pillars of the church.

The vertebrae in his back screamed, and Loren swallowed the blood back with a sweet throat. Sideways to dodge the monster's pounce, he rolled on the ground a few times in embarrassment before stopping.

He now finally understood why the academy's library had such a special high-level spell as "Transcendent Perception" - without it, he wouldn't even be able to see the afterimage of a vampire!

It's absolutely impossible to go on like this, and if you're just a human being, you can't fight a vampire. It must look for its weaknesses, what exactly is it afraid of?

Where is its weakness?!

Loren didn't believe in any perfect being in this world. As long as it is alive, there must be a cover door, there must be a defect, there must be a way to hurt it!

The black shadow once again left an afterimage in mid-air, and Loren, who tried his best, bought time for himself this time, and the "Firefly Spell" that flew into the air emitted a dazzling bright light, and then threw the last short knife with his backhand.

The claw swiped slightly, turning the short knife in two. Grabbing the corner of his cloak, Loren was thrown like a broken sack to the statue of the Holy Cross at the front of the church.

Loren, who was in mid-air, didn't even think about giving himself a "hovering spell", and the chest that was hit hard could no longer be restrained, and the falling Loren smashed a series of benches into pieces, finally avoiding the miserable end of being disemboweled.

This is the real gap between humans and monsters. Even if he has strengthened his perception, whether it is speed or strength, he is completely crushed by the opponent, and once he goes head-to-head, he doesn't even have a chance to fight back......

No, it shouldn't be like this, since Peter captured this vampire alive thirty years ago, it proves that it can be defeated. Sorcerer...... Or human beings, because of the strength of reason and wisdom.

Just because you haven't found its weakness doesn't mean it's impossible to defeat!

All mutated species are mutated because they have suffered from the influence of the Void, and there are also differences due to the different intensity of impact.

Like a ghoul, it belongs to the type that does not have a deep degree of influence, and even retains a part of the nature of the natural world, at most it is a relatively special scavenging animal.

Vampires, on the other hand, are completely different - they are more affected, they are more deeply mutated, and they exist like viruses in this world, completely harmful and useless.

Since the influence of the Void is deeper, will the damage be more obvious when facing the power of the Void?

In his left hand, he held the hilt of the sword with a "bright silver", and the silver-plated tip of the blade stood out in the dark church.

"Do you finally understand? Hmm...... It doesn't seem too late. The young man hiding in a corner raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes twinkled with a strange light stared at the embarrassed figure: "Maybe you really have a chance to defeat a hungry vampire alone, Loren Turin... Oh no, it should be Your Excellency the Stranger.

You've really surprised me, and I didn't choose the wrong person - we could be very good friends.

I... Heartily... Believe it. ”
