Chapter 53: Thanatos
Apocalypse: Original Sins describes the vampires as follows:
They are the natural enemies of mankind.
Their arrival was accompanied by darkness and blood.
They are synonymous with death and slavery.
They are the symbols of the devil of hell on earth.
They feed on human flesh and blood.
Their existence will lead to the demise of humanity. γ
Kaye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought back to the chapters in the Word of Revelation, and a wave rippled in his heart.
The current situation reminded her of the war more than a hundred years ago.
I can't help but get my blood boiling.
The vampire count Yuna moved her neck for a moment, then let out a low growl, and her whole body began to swell outward.
Bones crackled, limbs and bodies continued to grow outward.
The green tendons on his face burst out one by one, crawling all over his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The exaggerated bones and muscles broke through her clothes, her arms broke her sleeves, her legs broke her trouser legs, and even the tight black leather armor on her upper body was propped out.
The white bones grew rapidly, covering her with hard, black skin, forming a new shield on her exterior.
At the same time, on either side of her body, two extra pairs of long arms appeared.
As her wide wings spread outward, Yuna was fully revealed.
Each of her six stout arms held a short silver knife, and her right leg stepped forward, arching her body apart.
Yuna opened her bloody mouth and let out a terrifying roar.
It's likeβ
A giant humanoid spider.
Kaye was on guard, this monster wasn't the only enemy.
On the other side, although the true state of Earl Shelley is not so exaggerated, it is even more weird-
The short-haired silver vampire didn't change much, but on her neck and face, black streaks grew, and those black stripes like a megatooth suit crawled all over her neck, extending inward from the sides of her cheeks, gradually taking shape.
It's like a beast with black claws.
Immediately after, Shelley straightened his chest and raised his right arm upwards, parallel to his body.
A black shadow crawled out of her shoulder, wrapped around her right arm, and condensed in the air into a faint giant scythe shape.
Just as Kaye was trying to see more clearly, the black scythe suddenly disappeared from her hand.
It's like evaporating out of thin air.
But Kaye had fought with them, and he wouldn't really believe that the legendary Scythe of Shadow would really disappear.
Just like its name.
The furious blade that can tear people's souls to shreds at any time is temporarily hidden in the shadows.
In addition, the one named Yuna has the same weapons in his hand-
Infinity Blade.
As long as she needs to, as long as she can, that knife can split into an infinite number of doppelgangers.
For a six-armed vampire warrior, it's just a perfect fit.
Kaye frowned.
She had never missed her supreme demon-breaking equipment [Dark Flame Ashes] more than she did now.
Kaye stared at him and crossed his swords to his chest.
The Phantom Wheel Flame burst from her body, crawling all over the sword.
Two blue flames went straight up, illuminating the entire hall suddenly.
The two sides did not have too many words, and a fierce life-and-death duel was staged.
Yuna galloped in, a huge shadow over Kaye's head.
Even if it's Kaye, who is 1.87 meters, he can still only reach the other party's chest.
Six blades sliced in from different directions, bringing gusts of wind with gusts.
Dangdang......
Kaye's twin swords slashed back and forth, blue flames intertwined and sliced through fan-shaped facets one after another.
With each swing, the trajectory of the sword violently hit the opponent's blade.
And that offensive is getting more and more urgent.
At the same time, Shelley, who was standing behind Yuna, gently pulled her right hand.
Didn't see anything either.
Not even a shadow.
An invisible sword wind blew behind Kaye.
She jerked to her right.
As the shadows flickered, a sharp scratch appeared on Kaye's ankle.
Scythe of Shadows.
When it is activated, it is silent.
The blood line blooms outward.
Kaye didn't have time to think, for above her head, Yuna's assault enveloped her like a raging storm.
Airplanes......
A screeching sound.
Yuna's two upper limbs clenched the dagger behind her back and stabbed hard into Kaye's back.
At the same time, the two middle limbs swung left and right, slashing out two fan-shaped facets.
And the two lower limbs are lifted upwards.
Attack perfectly, enveloping Kaye from all sides.
The Warden crouched down, first dodging the swings of his two midlimbs, and then his twin swords downward, holding the blades of his lower limbs steadily.
The blue flames twisted hard, swinging the opponent's four arms outward.
And thenβ
Kaye let out a muffled grunt and placed his swords in a cross over his head.
Clang!
Yuna's upper arm slammed down ferociously, the blade striking her sword like lightning.
Violent sparks flickered.
The blue flame pressed down and opened a wave of qi.
The soles of Kaye's feet sank.
The marble floor shattered outwards with a half-circular crack.
The strength of the other party is obviously much stronger than Kaye imagined.
This damn spider maniac.
Airplanes......
Shelley's hands pulled in the air, rounding a massive arc and swinging the Scythe of Shadow again.
It's like she didn't have anything in her hands.
But the terrible and deadly sensation scraped against Kaye's back like a maggot on the tarsal bones.
Brush......
Arc vibration.
Suddenly, a deep knife mark appeared on the wall.
In the overlapping shadows, the ground seemed to cast the shape of a moon sickle.
"Dang!"
Kaye shielded his sword from his heart.
She kept her head down, her eyes almost bursting with fire.
This situation β
Yuna's six arms slashed at her again.
It's fucking.
There is no chance of a counterattack at all!
Kaye let out a heavy sigh in his heart, and his swords rolled around his chest.
Rumble!
The blade exploded behind him.
Cracks in the earth and rocks.
Kaye's twin swords pulled open two circular facets and slashed at Yuna's right leg.
But the tall vampire was noticeably quicker to react than he expected.
She still has two lower arms, just squatting slightly.
Two powerful blades blocked Kaye's attack.
At the same time, the attack of the middle arm struck again.
Kaye looked up in horror.
Two bright and flickering senleng knife lights were infinitely magnified in his eyes.
β¦β¦
Swish.
Just as her twin knives were about to plunge through Kaye's shoulders.
A flash of red light suddenly flashed.
While!
Crimson spears slammed into the blades, knocking one of the blades away.
Then sweep it outwards with all its might.
Airplanes!
The other blade was deflected inward.
Even that powerful energy came unabated, sweeping directly towards Yuna's ribs.
The tall vampire was forced to take a step back.
Having been given a chance to breathe, Kaye rolled out, then stood up, back-to-back with the incoming man.
Behind her, a red figure appeared.
Little Arce held the Scarlet Spear in his hand and stared at Yuna with a cold look in his eyes.
"The black spider is for me." She said coldly.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
It is said that all firsts are unforgettable.
Like the first kiss, the first night, andβ
First embrace.
Being sucked by a vampire for the first time can be a very strange and indescribable experience, more than the normal first time for any human.
First, your throat will be bitten open.
This process is accompanied by a certain amount of labor pain, like being pierced by a sharp spike.
Your blood will flow into the vampire's mouth along with the wound.
The feeling of death will swell up in an instant.
Human beings have an instinctive yearning for life and death, which is something that emanates from the bones, is written in the genes, and is inherent.
When death comes, it triggers intense hallucinations in the brain.
Just like drowning or dying, people are able to get what they want in this intense hallucination.
In Freud's writings, this psychological effect, known as Tanatos, is eternal.
Human beings have a [survival instinct] When they are on the verge of danger, their desire to survive will be stimulated.
Contrary to the survival instinct, people also have the [death instinct], which is named the famous god "Thanatos" in myths and legends.
Thanatos, is the god of death in ancient Greek mythology, and is named Morse in Roman mythology. He is the twin brother of Hypnos, the god of sleep, and his mother is Nix, the goddess of the night.
Often in works of art, such as ancient Greek vase paintings, Tanatos is depicted as an older man with wings and a beard, but is sometimes depicted as a young man without a beard.
He sometimes wears a helmet. He usually transports the bodies of dead people with his younger brother.
More often than not, Thanatos is depicted as a young man of extreme beauty, with wide black wings on his back and a sharp scythe in his hand.
At this point, in Robin's hallucination, Caroline, a vampire who is sucking his blood, coincides with the classic image of Tanatos.
His blood was flowing outward.
And the wound turned from initial pain to numbness.
Legend has it that when vampires suck human blood, just like poisonous snakes, they will inject a wonderful hormone into their canine teeth, which will cause the prey to produce an extremely excited pleasure, which is stronger than M^L.
Someone once made a comparison of human pleasure levels, if food brings 100% pleasure, then kissing is 200%, M^L is 400%, cocaine is 1000%, and viruses are 4000%.
And no one can count the first possession, because there are no vampires in that world.
Robin has enjoyed no pleasure other than food.
But being sucked by a vampire far more than he felt in his sleep......
It was a tsunami-like thrill, surging and making the brain go blank.
Respiratory stagnation.
Cardiac arrest.
And his body began to twitch.
But, like all the knowledge he reviewed before, as Freud believed, the two ultimate instincts of manβ
When the death instinct is induced, the other is also strongly stimulated.
That instinct is called the life instinct.
Or survival instincts.
Robin took a sharp breath, a hint of clarity in his misty gaze.
He reached out his hands and pushed the vampire away with all his might.
At the same time, his eyes were fixed on a movement above.
"Vivian?!" Robin cried out in surprise.
