Hand fell.

The bloodied soldiers unsheathed their weapons, letting his corpse, full of swords, crossbow arrows, and a few spears, roll down the steps in front of the temple.

"! This inquisitor is crazy! Why do you suddenly want to kill those nuns, and we stop him from killing so many brothers?! An officer gasped and cursed with his long sword.

"With so many brothers dead, this matter must not be counted like this! Even if it's the royal capital, you have to give an explanation to the brothers, right?! Send such a madman to kill! The officers and soldiers next to him scolded in a big way.

Some of the soldiers could not hide their anger when they saw the heavy casualties of their teammates, and rushed directly to Hand's corpse and whipped the corpse with their weapons, and soon cut down the body of the well-dressed inquisitor beyond recognition......

"I'm sorry, Priestess, that we have taken the word of this madman and caused you trouble." The officers of the city guard apologized to the nuns and priests who had been hiding in the temple.

"It's okay, Captain Glenn, you're also impartial, but I didn't expect this investigator to be mentally abnormal. But I hope that the next time you send troops to surround the temple, please say hello in advance. The priest nodded coldly and politely, and after saying this, he led the nuns back to the temple.

The sound of door shaft friction slowly sounded - bang!

The heavy doors of the temple blocked out sound and sight, and obscured the magical lights and torches outside. The temple was darkened.

……

At the same time as the temple gate closed, several swift figures rushed forward at an impressive speed in a forest about 29 kilometers from the city.

Dwarven shield warriors, human swordsmen, arcanists, half-elf archers...... This line is all high-level professional adventurers, running quickly through the dense forest.

By Earth's standards, these adventurers who take off like flying, often crossing a distance of more than ten meters in a single step, ignoring the obstacles of trees, rocks, and hillsides, are simply superhuman.

However, if you look closely at this time, it is not difficult to find that they all have a slightly panicked look on their faces at this time. And according to the usual team of five or six adventurers...... There seemed to be one or two missing from them.

Squeak squeak squeak——!

A shrill bat cry came from behind, everyone's faces changed, and the human swordsman quickly glanced back and shouted, "Reve! ”

Before he could finish speaking, a fallen tree appeared in front of the female half-elf archers running in the middle of the crowd. I saw her light one-handed support on the crossbar, and the whole person crossed the crossbar with a flip in an instant with the help of the inertia of running, and at the moment of turning over the crossbar, only the sound of the bowstring was heard - two arrows actually shot backwards at the moment when she turned her body!

In less than 0.5 seconds, they landed, and everyone continued to run, but the vampire bats chasing behind had already died on the trunk of the tree by two sharp arrows.

However...... This is a classic, extremely smooth, and the slightest lack of mud and water resistance did not really let this group of adventurers out of danger.

In just a moment, a large number of vampire bats roared in countless squeaky and piercing sounds, and almost in a few dozen breaths, they chased close to the canopy!

Phew——!

Countless bats landed in a small clearing in front of several people like a tide, and they actually condensed into human forms in a blood-colored mist.

Several people stopped.

The cold moonlight fell, illuminating the vampires who stood in their way.

It was a tall man in his thirties, with long, curly black hair, and the intricate aristocratic attire and facial features characteristic of southerners...... This is a Southern Bloodline nobleman.

The swordsman looked at each other cautiously, and then he dug two inches deep into the soil, and the powerful waist that he had cultivated for more than twenty years naturally bent slightly, as if he could burst out with great strength at any time.

But he didn't act rashly.

The brief confrontation between the two sides during the previous hunt for the white dragon had already illustrated the strength of the other party.

Although all the members of this squad are high-level professionals, they are even able to hunt the weakest of the dragons, the White Dragon. But if you want to fight against a vampire nobleman who is at least the rank of an earl without a priest...... I'm afraid there is little hope of winning.

Kevic. Gurnando apparently knows this too.

His blood-red eyes stared at the members of the adventurer's squad, and his mouth tasted as unscrupulously as if he were picking red wine in a hotel: "O adventurer covered in stinky sweat and fleas...... What terrible food! But for the sake of this half-elf lady, I can make you kill yourself. ”

In this way, it is obvious that there is no need to talk about it.

Before the vampire could finish speaking, the dwarf instantly threw the hatchet in his hand! Phew——! The short axe weighing thirty pounds instantly crossed the distance between the two sides and slashed in front of the vampire's face!

Bang——! A pale and slender hand with some sharp fingernails caught the handle of the axe steadily.

"Huh!" The vampire glanced at the hatchet in his hand, laughed contemptuously, and instantly changed his face: "Give it back to you!" ”

However.

The axe that was thrown back at a faster speed was not slashed at the dwarf, but cunningly slashed at the young arcanist among the adventurers!

Duh——! The dwarf who stood in front of the Arcanist in an instant blocked the axe with a round shield.

He shook his numb arm and grinned under his wire-like brown beard, "Fuck you bloodsucking bastard!" It's insidious! ”

Hearing the dwarf's insults, the vampire's face instantly became hideous, the razor-half fangs frantically bared out, and his hands instantly became sharper, and his skin was as blue as iron.

"Look for death!"

The vampire pounced in an instant!

Bell ——!

The heavy sword in the swordsman's hand collided with the vampire's cyan sharp claws, making a loud sound like gold and iron.

In an instant, the two separated at a speed that ordinary human eyes couldn't tell - and then bumped into each other again in a fraction of a second!

The huge sound of gold and iron resounded intensively, and the wind pressure set off by the battle between the two sides even rolled up the surrounding debris! The vampire's cape also hunts and thunders in his high-speed movements!

Whew——!

At this time, Reev, the half-elf archer among the adventurers, obviously seized the opportunity, and with a sharp arrow, he instantly sealed the vampire's position to dodge the blade!

However, in the world of Faerun, the vampires who are famous for their speed and immortality are just too fast!

Although this arrow caused him some trouble, he still caught the arrow with his hand the moment he dodged the blade!

But at this time, the arcanist's spell casting in the rear was also at the end of its completion, and with a wave of his finger: "Cat Grace!" ”
