Irene stared at the dark capital in front of her, and her heart became more and more uneasy. Before coming back, she still had some doubts about Garcia's statement, wondering if Garcia was exaggerating. But when she entered the Night City, she realized that Garcia was right. As far as the eye could see, the entire night city was pitch black, and even the light of the spiritual fire guarding the tower seemed to be absent. It looks dark, but it's full of danger. The former Night City felt more like a cemetery, calm on the surface, but the interior was full of necromancers. But now the Night City has been transformed, and it feels more like a battlefield to Irene, lifeless. This feeling can only be felt in that kind of battlefield fight, where corpses are strewn all over the field. And now Irene actually felt such a murderous aura in the Night Capital, which shows that there must have been a lot of deaths in the Night City, which made her more and more anxious.

Not only that, but Irene also found that the guards who were supposed to be in charge of guarding the Night City were also missing, and there were no patrolling soldiers to be seen on the walls, streets, or squares. Even the guards in front of the palace gate, which had been heavily guarded, disappeared, and the gate was wide open, as if everyone had left the place, leaving only an uninhabited city. But because of this, it makes Irene feel even more weird, and this feeling of emptiness makes people feel palpitations when compared to the sky-high death.

“…………………”

Irene quietly landed in front of the palace door, looking inside vigilantly, only to see that under the light of the blue spiritual fire, the palace corridor was quiet, and it seemed that there was no human population at all. But the dead air was extremely thick, as if it was like substance, and even Irene couldn't help but shudder. But then her complexion changed slightly, and her eyes flashed a little vigilant. Then Irene sighed softly. Then walk towards the palace.

"Dash...... Da ...... Da ........."

The sound of crisp footsteps echoed in the corridor, but Irene's mood was getting heavier and heavier, and she didn't see half of the attendants along the way. It stands to reason that in the past, at this time, someone had already come out to greet him. But this time, no one came forward at all. Not only that, Irene let go of her divine sense only to find that there was no one in this huge palace, whether dead or alive. For a while, she even gave Irene the illusion that she seemed to be abandoned by the entire world, which made her more and more nervous, but even so, Irene still calmly walked forward slowly, step by step towards her brother's study.

And just when Irene came to the door of the study. She suddenly raised an eyebrow, then her figure flashed, and she quickly stepped back. Almost at the same moment, four ghostly shadows appeared in front of her, blocking Irene's path.

"Who are you?!"

Seeing the four people in front of her, Irene couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked. She watched warily at the four men, who on the surface looked no different from humans. Dressed in fine costumes, but the white hair, blood-red eyes, and pointed ears that resemble those of elves already indicate their identity——— they are vampires.

Where did these vampires come from?

See them appear. Irene's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but secretly she immediately had a heart for these four people. She knew that her brother had never liked vampires very much, thinking that they were not very capable but had a lot of ideas, and always liked to do some messy things behind their backs. Therefore, the status of the vampire species in the Night Country is actually not very high, and my brother is not willing to let these vampires get too close to him. But now, these vampires are actually standing outside their brother's study. Blocking your own entry?

"I'm sorry, Her Highness Irene."

One of the vampires grinned and smiled gracefully.

"At present, His Majesty the Dark Dragon is dealing with important government affairs, and I can't see guests for the time being, so please wait for a while."

"Important government affairs? Can't see a guest? So why isn't there anyone here? And also. Where are all the guards outside? ”

Hearing the other party's words, Irene's eyes immediately narrowed. She carefully observed the vampires, but Irene was soon sure that they were definitely not descendants of a large family, otherwise she would have remembered. But the four vampires in front of them all looked young, and they were quite unfamiliar on the surface......... If she wasn't sure that her brother was really strong enough, Ireen would even wonder if her brother would have been kidnapped or coerced. However, in the Dragon Soul Continent, there are only a few people whose strength can be higher than that of his brother, and it is impossible to do such a thing. In the Night Country, Irene didn't believe that anyone would dare to disobey her brother's orders——— not because of the balance of strength, but because of the deep-rooted class dominance of the Night Country itself. Even if Ion is powerless, as long as he is still a dark dragon, then absolutely no one will dare to attack him. Unless, of course, he's also sealed with his own strength like Lillian, but that's basically impossible.

In the face of Irene's inquiry, the four vampires only smiled and did not answer her questions.

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness the Princess."

"I'm coming back to report something important to my brother, why don't you ask?"

Seeing the expressions of these four vampires, Irene also sank, she took a few steps forward, stood in front of the four vampires, and pressed her right hand on the black dragon sculpture next to her, staring coldly at the four vampire species in front of her. Although Irene was very serious on the surface, she was secretly surprised in her heart, because until now, she had not been able to detect the existence of these four people, although they were standing in front of her, but except for the information fed back by the vision itself, Irene had no other means to perceive these four vampires. This is a very unusual thing, vampires are undead creatures, and the aura of death is the strongest, but the four vampires standing in front of her don't even have the slightest breath of death, which really surprised Irene. Her eyes glanced around, then looked ahead again, then fell to the ground.

And hearing Irene's order, the four vampires didn't speak. Just standing there smiling. But the next moment, their faces suddenly changed drastically.

At the same time as Irene looked down at the floor, her originally drooping left hand suddenly flung forward, and with just a pull and a tug, an incomparably delicate long sword appeared in Irene's hand, slashing diagonally down the void. And with her movements, dozens of chilling sword qi roared and scattered in all directions, scattering in all directions with Irene as the center like a blooming flower.

"Wooh!!"

With screams, a black figure flew away from behind Irene. And Irene turned around at the same time, the long sword in his left hand flipped over with sword intent like water, and pointed at the black shadow that flew away, and then saw that the sword qi aura aura was like being attracted by something at this moment, and rushed towards the target in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that the black shadow was completely engulfed by the sword qi, accompanied by a piercing and terrible scream. Dark, stained blood splattered, and the shadow was too dead to die.

"What do you mean by that!!"

Irene swung her sword and immediately retreated, and then watched the four people in front of her vigilantly. The reason why she made a move just now was not because it was untargeted, but because when the other party was acting, Irene was keenly aware that a shadow flashed on the ground behind her. That's why I chose to strike first, and now it seems that I made the right choice. If you don't have the ability to preemptively strike, then what exactly will turn out of things is unknown!

"We just wanted to ask you to wait a moment. Your Highness Princess, Your Majesty the Dark Dragon is busy. I don't have time to meet you. Please be calm. ”

Although the vampire in front of her was still speaking so calmly, Irene could already hear the restlessness in his words, she leaned back against the wall, held the sword in her left hand, and watched around vigilantly. Sure enough, Irene soon noticed dozens of figures floating around her. They sealed off their path completely, and in the crowd, Irene even spotted a few lichs.

"You're so bold!!"

Seeing this, Irene roared angrily, and then her right hand was raised in the air. With Irene's movements, bright and dazzling magical brilliance condensed around Irene, and then turned into dazzling beams of light, roaring and rushing forward. And those people didn't seem to expect Irene to start attacking so quickly, and they panicked for a while, not knowing how to deal with it. Only a few loud noises were heard, and the originally smooth and smooth corridor was suddenly bombed into tatters, and the violent air currents roared and dispersed, completely blocking the people who blocked Irene in it. Seeing this scene, Irene also rolled her eyes, and then her footsteps kept fast and brought out a series of afterimages, and rushed towards the direction of the gate.

"Whoosh~!!"

And just as Ireen turned around and was about to leave here, she suddenly saw the originally closed door suddenly crack open, and then a pitch-black light shot straight towards Irene. In the face of this sudden attack, Irene also hurriedly turned around, raised the long sword in her hand with a solemn face, and slashed forward with force. Then, the sharp blade slashed at the black light in such an impartial manner.

"Bell!!"

A dull, thunderous sound sounded, and even the ground shook and trembled, and Irene stood quietly in the middle of the hallway. On her left and right, the originally smooth marble floors and walls had been completely shattered by the powerful energy contained in the black beam, turning into broken bricks and tiles. But Irene didn't pay any attention to these little things, she just kept her eyes open, watching cautiously and carefully at the familiar and unfamiliar figure that slowly walked out of the tattered door.

"Elder Brother ..............."

In the face of Irene's call, Ion seemed to have completely ignored the sermon, he first glanced at Irene, and then turned his head coldly to look at the vampire next to him.

"Didn't I want you to keep her?"

"I'm so sorry, I .................."

"Poof!"

Before the vampire could finish his words, Ion suddenly reached out and punched his head completely, and the corpse that lost its head shook twice and then fell to the ground with a bang, then turned into dust and disappeared into the air. But Ion didn't seem to care about it at all, he didn't even look at the bloodsucker who had fallen to the ground just now, and snorted coldly.

"Waste."

After saying this, Ion raised his head and looked at Irene in front of him. Then a soft smile appeared.

"Come here, Irene, let me take a good look at you."

"Brother, what the hell is going on?"

If it was normal and saw Ion's smile, then Irene would be very happy. But now. She was chilled all over her body, because she could tell that although Ion was smiling on the surface, his eyes were cold, not some kind of disguise, but more like he didn't seem to know what he was doing. This strong contrast made Irene instinctively feel a strong and unprecedented threat. If she thought Garcia's words might be exaggerated before, now Irene is sure. There was something wrong with his brother's sanity.

"What's going on? Come here, Irene, let me take a good look at you, where have you been all this time? Tell me about it. ”

“…………… When I have time, I'll tell my brother. But now, I want to know more about Lu Dao, brother, what have you been doing all this time? What I learned from His Highness Garcia......... Why do you want to do this? Elder brother? ”

"Huh."

Hear Irene's inquiry. Ion just chuckled and shook his head. Then he looked softly at Irene again. Speak.

"Come, Irene, let me take a good look at you, where have you been all this time? Tell me about it. ”

"Brother, elder brother, ...............?"

"Come, Irene. Tell me............... I command you! Come here now and tell me where you've been! Hurry up!! ”

"Boom!!"

With Ion's crazy roar, I saw him raise his arm suddenly, and then Irene only felt an incomparably powerful energy pass by her, and bombarded the wall around her. And at this moment, Ion completely lost the weird smile on his face just now. Instead, there was a distorted, hideous, angry expression, as if it was not his sister who was standing in front of him, but the enemy who killed his father. And feeling Ion's eyes, even Irene couldn't help but shudder. But soon, she seemed to sense something, and suddenly dodged to the side. Not long after Irene dodged away, I saw a black pillar of light crash down like this, and it hit the ground where Irene was standing just now.

"Irene, I called you over ..................!!" At this moment, Ion's eyes were completely red, and he raised his hands through gritted teeth, glaring at the girl in front of him like crazy. “…… You don't come......... Then go and die............ You are disobedient! It's not my sister, I'm going to get my sister back!! ”

"Brother!!"

At this time, it was useless for Irene to say anything, and in the face of the strange dark dragon in front of her, she didn't know what to say at all. Originally, Irene thought that Ion should have a good talk with her, but now looking at him, it makes no difference that he is completely crazy! In this case, I'm afraid that whatever I say is in vain!! Thinking of this, Irene's face sank, and then the whole person suddenly rushed outside.

"Catch her!! Kill her! I'm going to purify her and turn her into my sister once and for all! ”

"Oh oh oh oh!!"

With Ion's roar, hundreds of undead creatures suddenly appeared from the shadows, and they let out a chilling and piercing scream, and pounced on the girl in front of them. Seeing this scene, Irene also gritted her teeth, and the long sword in her hand swung suddenly, only to see the sword light flickering, as if a cold light was scattering in all directions, splitting all the undead creatures besieging her in two. But that's just the beginning.

“Siad！”

With the sound of hoarse chanting, a series of spells filled with necromantic aura pierced through the gap and shot towards Irene. Irene was pale, and her right hand suddenly pressed down, and then she heard a loud "boom", and a strong wind blew and exploded, forming a barrier and reversing the spell in front of her. Spread out in all directions. For a moment, the roar of explosions enveloped the entire palace. The smoke and dust dispersed, completely enveloping everyone's sight. And at the same time, Irene's complexion changed suddenly, just now, while fighting with the other party, she finally felt that in the soul power of these undead creatures, there was a smell that she was very familiar with! Thinking of this, Irene no longer hesitated, she suddenly rushed towards the sculpture next to her, and then the sword flashed, and soon saw the blood on Irin's right wrist spurting out like this, spilling on a statue next to her that was lucky not to be destroyed. And at the same time as Irene's blood was spilled, the statue suddenly twisted, and then a black cave emerged from it, and then Irene did not hesitate to burrow into it. And after that, the black hole disappeared completely.

And when the dust cleared, there was no trace of Irene in it. Seeing this scene, Ion's originally smiling face suddenly distorted, and he stared viciously at the land that was no longer inhabited, and only after a moment did he suddenly shake his hand.

“Nasui！！”

With Ion's angry shout, I saw that the entire palace suddenly became dark, and even the lights that originally lit the corridor had been completely extinguished. For a moment, everything was shrouded in darkness, and only the glow of the scarlet eyes of the undead emerged from it. At this moment, Ian slowly lowered his hands.

"Search for me!! She's in the palace!! Get her!! Kill her!! I'm going to make her my sister again!! ”

Although Ion's speech was completely incoherent, the undead seemed to know what he meant, and in just a moment's effort, the little soul light that had originally appeared in the darkness disappeared one by one, completely melting into the darkness, and disappeared. (To be continued......)
