Chapter 179: Freedom Promised, Loyalty in Exchange
At what cost?
Serena, who fell to the ground, bit her lip tightly, and there was a sweet smell of blood flowing into her mouth.
She looked at Lieutenant General Superman standing at the entrance of the dungeon, and read a trace of seriousness and danger in the other party's eyes.
Since his appearance, this Mr. Lieutenant General, who has behaved mysteriously and inscrutablely, is like a stockbroker on Wall Street.
He always gives what others want the most, but takes more.
"Everything!"
Serena did not hesitate and gave an answer.
She looked up at the cold-eyed Victor, and the hatred in her heart almost turned into substance.
Many thinkers often say that "humans are fickle and complex animals", but this statement can be applied to any intelligent race.
A few hours ago, Serena had regarded Victor as the closest elder in her life.
But now, the vampire female warrior who knows the truth is willing to give everything - both physical and spiritual in exchange for a chance at revenge.
"I should have lived an ordinary life, had a warm family, and gave ...... to caring parents"
Serena said bitterly.
"Instead of becoming a nocturnal creature afraid of the sun, forever in the company of darkness!"
Victor was expressionless and shook his head, "You're too weak, Serena. ”
He taught Klein the art of power and ambition, and let him manage the family.
Instilled a tough attitude and a firm philosophy in Serena to make her the best fighter.
But in the end.
Klein became a traitor.
Serena also became a traitor.
Such a result made Victor feel very sad.
"Mr. Lieutenant General, I can give everything!"
Serena wiped away the tears that represented weakness and said word by word.
Don't say Luke is human and not to be trusted.
Even if he is a devil from hell who specializes in deceiving souls, she has nothing to fear.
"Deal."
Luke snapped his fingers and nodded in satisfaction.
Solve one person, and you can complete two revenge bills.
No loss!
"Lucian, do you want to go up?"
Mr. Lieutenant General asked in a low voice.
In order to ensure the customer experience, he suggested that Lucian try it himself.
If you make your own move, I'm afraid the whole battle won't take more than half a minute
It's not a good thing to end too soon.
"Okay."
Lucien was concise and nodded in agreement.
His eyes full of murderous intent stared at Victor.
The latter didn't know what was going on above, and he didn't know that Amelia, who was also an elder, had been torn off the wings of bats, which symbolized high-level vampires, and was almost about to be eaten by roasted bats.
The vampire lord thinks he's in control.
He looked at Luke, who suddenly appeared, and Lucian, the wolf king who followed behind, and a touch of coldness appeared in his blue pupils.
"Lucian, you are really getting more and more depraved, and you are willing to be a lackey of mankind!"
Victor spared no effort to sarcastically.
"Do you expect them to reward the werewolves with a few flesh and bones to gnaw? Instead of doing things for humans, it is better to continue to be a slave to vampires. ”
"At the very least, we'll be generous and throw a few more bones."
The contemptuous tone stirred the anger in Lucian's heart.
"Victor, sober up."
The wolf king's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"Don't be immersed in the glorious past of vampires, and can't help yourself."
"You're just animals in captivity, beasts in cages."
"Humans rule the world, and vampires have long since lost their qualification to stand at the top of the pyramid of power."
In the Middle Ages, vampires and werewolves were indeed the rulers of the continent.
The former, in particular, completely treats humans as mobile blood banks and hunts wantonly.
This situation became more serious after the colony was developed.
The North American continent was also invaded by vampires at one time until the advent of Abraham Lincoln later.
That's right!
This rather famous Mr. President is also said to be a legendary vampire hunter!
When Luke saw this bizarre history from the library of the Sanctuary in New York, he had a strong desire to complain.
Back to the topic, at that time, the European continent was the hunting ground of the major vampire families.
When they arrived at the Three Sanctuary Places, they began to put order in order, sweep away the darkness, and issue precepts.
Vampires are only at the pinnacle of history, and they are extremely reluctant to be swept into the garbage.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the awakened vampire lord looks down on humans, and even more so on the wolf king Lucien, who cooperates with humans.
His concept has not yet changed, and he does not know that times have changed.
"Hehe, take a human, plus yourself, and dare to break into this manor."
Victor said in a deep voice: "Lucian, you are killing yourself!" ”
He glanced at Luke, who was standing in front of him.
A strong young man, the keen senses of a vampire, only allowed the vampire lord to come to such a conclusion.
A strong heartbeat, a vigorous vitality, and nothing else is abnormal.
"Give you a chance for revenge...... Such an easy promise is also worth believing? ”
Victor looked down at Serena and sneered.
His sumptuous robe was torn open, and a pair of bat wings popped out of his back.
Compared to Amelia's wings, the vampire collar is longer and thicker.
Grim white bones, supporting membrane-like wings.
It is completely open, and can occupy almost half of the space of the underground palace.
In terms of momentum alone, it surpasses Amelia, who is also an elder, by a lot.
"It's almost close to the 'Ancestor Level'."
The corners of Luke's mouth curled and he thought to himself.
He ignored the aura explosion and prepared to kill Victor.
Although, don't look at each other from God's perspective.
This vampire lord can be called decisive and a qualified leader.
In order to continue and strengthen the family and consolidate power, even his own daughter can be sacrificed.
Of course, he also has the flaws that those in power inevitably have.
For example, suspicion and selfishness.
The vampire elders rotate once in a hundred years, and the rest of the time is asleep except for the days when they are in power.
In order to prevent betrayal and accidents, the three elders did not have the intention of cultivating their descendants seriously, and allowed them to be consumed by extravagant lives.
Serena didn't understand Victor before why Klein was letting Klein manage the family.
The reason is simple.
This guy is a power-hungry, equally timid bureaucratic vampire.
Compared with a descendant who is determined to forge ahead and has his own ideas, it is better to help this kind of person up.
It's just that maybe Victor didn't expect it.
Klein will work with the werewolf in private to become a two-and-five.
"Tonight is the day I wake up, and it's time to settle our grievances."
The Vampire High Lord had climbed to the top, and he didn't think that the Wolf King Lucien would be his opponent.
As for the human who doesn't have much presence?
No threat!
Victor trusts his own judgment and never mistakes the strong.
Like the mages of the Three Sanctuary, the legendary witchers who wander everywhere.
This kind of person only needs to take a look to know that he is a big man he can't afford to mess with.
As an elder-level vampire, Victor has survived until now, and it doesn't all depend on luck.
He has a good eye and understands what kind of characters can be provoked.
What kind of role must be given enough respect.
"Come on, Victor! Sonya's soul in heaven will witness this battle! ”
The wolf king, Lucian, walked down the steps and quickly completed his beast transformation.
Roar!
Werewolves and vampires collide in a mess.
Lucian faced the elder-level Victor, and was obviously not an opponent.
After a few minutes of short grappling, he fell into a disadvantage.
Although Victor and Amelia are both at the elder level, the difference in strength between the two is somewhat huge.
On the one hand, it is the vampire lord who has lived much longer than the latter.
On the other hand, before Victor became a vampire, he was a great lord who could fight well.
Boom!
Like a bullet punch, it smashed into the beastly Lucian's face.
The latter seemed to feel nothing, and its claws were raised, tearing out hideous wounds from top to bottom.
Victor didn't dodge either, and the long sword in his hand sliced open the werewolf's chest, nearly disemboweling Lucian.
These two beasts, with the method of fighting for injuries, engaged in a primitive and ruthless frontal fight.
"Aren't you going to make a move?"
Serena, leaning against the corner, asked.
She had been thrown against the wall by Victor before, and the brazen force of her anger almost broke the spine in her back.
"Lucian wants to get his hands dirty."
Luke pursed his lips and said, "Revenge is a thing that is more valuable than helping others. ”
"If it's you, I also want to screw off Victor's head and avenge your parents."
Serena's eyes darkened, and she nodded slightly.
"Interested in becoming a family elder?"
Taking advantage of the fact that Lucian and Victor were fighting, Luke took the time to ask.
A family of vampires on the North American continent, they are pure-blooded descendants of Grand Duke Dracula.
They were in a similar situation to their counterparts in Europe, limited by the precepts of the New York Sanctuary, and did not dare to make trouble everywhere.
But the wealth accumulated over a long life, as well as the ability to play with power, still flourished in North America.
Even, a group of "Ha ghost clans" who worship vampires have been created, and the underground world of New York, Detroit and other cities has become a miasma.
"Take Victor's place? Sorry, Mr. Lieutenant General, I have little interest in power. ”
The corners of Serena's mouth twitched, she just wanted to live a peaceful life, and she had no feelings for her own clan at all.
"Somebody has to step up, Miss Serena."
Luke begins to use his mouth cannon as he prepares to pack up the Govinas family and bring them back to New York to fight the Dracula purebloods.
"Amelia, who stayed above, has been torn off by me, and her strength has plummeted."
"And Victor, his end is already doomed, and it is impossible for him to survive."
"Of the Govinas family, only his son Marcus remains."
Serena listened and thought it was very interesting.
This Superman lieutenant general is like writing a script, setting the ending of the story.
As if everything would go according to what he said, moving forward.
"With Elder Marcus here, the family can still continue."
The corners of Serena's mouth twitched, she had no sense of belonging to this family.
"Marcus can't, he's just going to make a mess of Kovinas, and he's not as good as Victor."
Luke shook his head.
How could he possibly give power to a direct line of Corvinas.
That would be very detrimental to the management of S.H.I.E.L.D.
My father is a lieutenant general.
Ancestral vampire.
There's no need to use S.H.I.E.L.D. or Superman as a backer.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that Serena has no roots.
What the?
Gluttonous?
Luke was dismissive.
He's not a pervert like Howard, how can he be sexually interested in female vampires.
"Think about it, Serena, the vampires are in a bad place right now."
Luke said in demagogic words, like the devil in hell.
"You can't leave Paris without permission, it's the precept of the Three Sanctuary Places."
"You can't stay away from the crowd, vampires must replenish blood, otherwise it will stimulate the thirst for blood in your heart."
"Wander around, and there is a chance that you will be cleared out by the mages of the Sanctuary, or by the witchers."
"The best choice is to return to the family."
Luke smiled like a human trafficker: "Serena, have you ever left Paris?" Have you ever been outside of France? ”
"I can promise you freedom, and in exchange for your loyalty."
