"Dada......"

Hurried footsteps sounded in the streets in front of the palace gates.

The two young girls ran in the direction of the palace one after the other. Suddenly, the female priestess who was running behind lost her way and fell to the ground, and the female swordsman in front of her stopped, turned and ran back to pick the female priest up.

"Sister Sophia, you can rest for a while. Let me deal with the battle below. Dani said to Sophia.

Due to the tiring travel for several days, Sophia's mental state was already not good. Heal, purify, detoxify, and set up enchantments...... The continuous casting of spells consumed a large amount of her mental power. For a spellcaster, a lack of mental power cannot produce magic power for battle, so Dani's advice is correct, and Sophia herself understands this, but she still stubbornly refuses: "No, it's all here, how can I stop advancing?"

"But anyone has limits. ”

"I understand. But this little problem is nothing at all. ”

Compared to Joika and Ray, who were badly wounded and incapacitated, she was only slightly tired now - that's what Sophia was thinking at this point. The task of fighting the last powerful enemy fell on her and Dany, and if they couldn't bear even this fatigue, what could they talk about winning? Sophia gritted her teeth and rose from the ground.

The gates of the palace were left open at will, and there were no guards standing guard in front of them. The two girls began to slow down. They entered the front yard of the palace, which was so dead and lifeless from the street that the man standing on the fountain in the middle of the front yard was almost mistaken for a stone statue, but they remembered that the statue on the fountain was a child angel with a shell, not a grown man standing with his hands in his hands. Sophia grabbed Dani, and the two stopped about twenty meters away from the fountain.

In the entire front yard, except for the "whooshing" sound of water from the fountain, it was so quiet that it made people's hearts bristle.

"I'm going to take a look. Sophia lifted the cross in one hand and clenched her dagger in the other, and walked forward.

"I'll go. Dani said.

"Be careful. Sophia admonished from behind. She wasn't a woman who casually put her companions in danger, but she knew better that her magic was better suited to help her companions behind her back than to charge into battle.

Sweat broke out in Dani's palm as she held her sword, and she cautiously approached the fountain.

"Drink!" Just as she was less than two meters away from the fountain, Dani's right foot suddenly rubbed back, and the long sword in her hand instantly came out of its sheath, turning into a cold light covering the adult man standing on the fountain.

Call...... Dani couldn't see the other party's movements at all, she only felt a black shadow dancing in front of her, the long sword in her hand only scraped into the air, and the adult man was gone, replaced by the statue of the little angel she saw during the day.

"Dani, behind!"

Sophia, who was standing behind, could see it clearly, and she hurriedly issued a warning, and Dany's reaction was relatively quick, she took a few steps forward, and stabbed backwards with her long sword.

But the opponent's movements were so fast that the long sword simply missed the target. Immediately, Dani felt that she was oppressed by the aggressive momentum, and she was almost overwhelmed. With astonishing speed, the enemy melted his figure into the night and disappeared. Messy attacks came from all directions, and Dani resisted with a sword just by feeling, but she couldn't catch the opponent's movement at all, and was trapped in a small space.

"It's too reluctant to have Dani alone. Standing in the distance, Sophia saw more clearly, she lifted the silver cross above her head, and released the magic of light that had accumulated for a long time, like a small sun that suddenly appeared on the ground, and the strong light shone on the entire palace front yard, brighter than day.

"See!" With Sophia's help, Dani finally caught the enemy's movements, she stabbed three times to the left, and then bent her feet and bowed over, and in a backward rolling position, she broke away from the battle circle in the direction of the vacuum of the enemy's attack.

After the siege of Dany failed, the man leaped into the air and stood firmly above the statue of the cherub. By the light of magic, the second daughter could clearly see the man's white hair, pale face, and empty eyes. Unlike Leon's arrogance and Melissa's gloom, this man gives the impression that he wants to kneel down to him when he sees it.

"You...... You're the Vampire Prince?" Dani asked in a trembling voice.

"You're coming too slowly. The white-haired man's voice sounded like it was from another world, creating an invisible coercion in Dani and Sophia's hearts.

Meanwhile. On a cylindrical tower in front of the palace, the current owner of the palace, King Duris I, was standing behind the battlements, watching the battle in the front yard below.

The King recalls his last conversation with the Vampire Prince before leaving the Study.

"Your Royal Highness, are you sure you really want to do this?"

"Hmm. If the girl named Sophia is really the one who is destined to be, then these are her tests. ”

"Test?"

"Only if she can pass this test can she be qualified to bear the fate. ”

"What if she doesn't pass the guò test?"

That proves that fate did not choose her. can only disappear in the world. ”

Vampire Prince Dekra, don't you understand, if it is really the fate that Sophia Madan must bear, it is not one or two tests that can be controlled.

Duris stared blankly at the battlefield below, and although he was the master here, he could only be a spectator tonight. As the saying goes, "the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear", and now Du Lisi is the person who can see it most clearly.

22：54。

The church of Somendir is still burning.

Under a tree more than 50 meters away from the fire, a magic array drawn out of silver powder formed a powerful divine defense barrier, protecting the two seriously injured people in the barrier from the attack of the dark forces.

The bored Joyka opened the conversation first.

"Hey, Ray, are we just going to stay here?"

"Of course not! Sophia and Dani are just two girls, and their opponent is the Vampire Prince, one of the undead triumvirate. ”

"And what are your plans?"

"You know that. ”

"Huh. Joyka laughed, "So what are you waiting for?"

Ray smiled knowingly.

Two childhood friends, supporting each other to their feet, limped out of the barrier that protected them. Behind the two men, the Church of Somendir collapsed in flames.

22：55。

As the magic dissipated, the bright front yard of the palace dimmed once more.

Even if he could see the enemy, the opponent's strength was too strong, and Dany's long sword continued to thrust, but it was never able to touch half of the vampire prince's clothes. Instead, the Vampire Prince caught the flaw of Dany's final sprint, jumped in the air, kicked out with his left foot, and accurately kicked Dani in the back. Dani snorted in pain, and her whole body fell forward, and the long sword flew out of her hand several meters away.

"Dani!" Sophia cried out anxiously.

Heals wounds, lightens pain, increases strength, strengthens defenses, increases speed, and strengthens senses...... Sophia cast several spells in a row, and as if suddenly a different person had been blessed, Dany snorted, propped her left hand on the ground, and jumped out of two front somersaults in the air to leap near her sword. Dani, who retrieved the weapon, was full of fighting spirit, and attacked the Vampire Prince with several times faster than just now.

The prince dodged left and right in Dany's sword dance, thousands of years of accumulated combat experience could not be offset by a few blessing magic, and in the gap between defenses, the prince once again peeked into Dani's weakness, and punched her right waist from the corner of Dany's defense.

I saw a flash of silver light, and it was not the attacker who was bounced out sideways, but the attacker himself.

Dani looked at his left waist in amazement, where he had just received the Prince's punch, and Dani felt no pain, and the Prince's left fist was smoking, and it was like it had been burned by fire.

"Don't worry, Dani, I've cast a 'shield of light' on you, and if he touches your body, he'll be burned by the light. Sophia said something reassuring.

"Good!" With Sophia's help, Dani unleashed a more intense offensive against the prince without any worries.

However, this time the Prince did not seem to have any intention of engaging Dani, and before Dany's sword could stab him, he had already transformed into a bat, escaped the range of the sword, and then flew back to the top of the statue, reverting to his human form.

Seeing that the vampire prince, one of the triumvirate of the undead, was actually forced to retreat by himself and Sophia, Dani was not only unexpected, but also proud in her heart: "It turns out that the so-called vampire prince is nothing more than that." ”

"No! get out of his way. Compared to Dany's pride, Sophia was much more cautious.

However, Dani was stunned at this time, and she really couldn't understand why she didn't accept the pursuit in this good situation, but retreated.

Because only those who have studied magic can sense the elemental fluctuations in the air - this is exactly why Sophia can perceive dangers that Dani cannot perceive. When Dany turned her head to look at the Vampire Prince, she immediately understood what Sophia was worried about: she saw black blood flowing from the Prince's left hand, which had been burned by the Holy Light, floating in the air like thin threads, forming a small magic circle.

"Dani, come back!" Seeing that Dani was unmoved, Sophia reminded again.

But it was too late, the magic array of blood had already been completed, and the dark red blood light poured down from the top of the little angel statue, forming an extremely strange pillar of light.
