In the empty castle, a series of roars and rushing runs echoed constantly.

"You can't escape, Valerica," a cold, deep voice echoed through the hallway, "from the moment you betrayed me, you should have expected this day. ”

Valerica ran along the dimly lit corridors, most of the torches along the way had been extinguished, and since the Dawn Guard had fought a great battle here, there weren't even a few Blood Slave minions left, and she didn't bother to take care of such a large castle by herself, although she was familiar with every path in the castle, and so was the man chasing after her.

The only light of the fire flickered as if it was about to be extinguished in the next moment, and the shadows cast by the collapsed stone sculptures on the walls were like monsters dormant in the darkness, waiting to be devoured.

"Boom-"

The wall on the right cracked, and a huge figure leaped out of it, blocking the way forward. The clay shell peeled off, revealing a rune carved into its body, and a gargoylee with a hideous face roared at Valerica.

The road ahead was impassable, and Valerica turned around to see the vampire Lord Hakon standing at the end of the stairs, and a huge mural hanging behind him was a portrait of Hakon as the owner of the place, but no one would associate the two with his appearance at the moment.

"It's you now, and then it's your beloved daughter's turn, and you'll all have to pay the price," Hakong's transformed face was like a statue, and he couldn't see any expression, "I used to love you so much, and let you gain power and status that ordinary people can't match...... And what do you repay me? Lies, deception, betrayal! Storm my castle with outsiders and watch someone else kill your husband!? ”

"Do you think I'll be grateful for the pain and suffering you have made us experience? Only a madman like you would do anything for power, and what you did shattered our family tome! Valerica stared at Hakong, facing her former husband again, she could still feel the fear that the other party had brought to her, which was why she chose to escape and hide instead of directly confronting him, "Do you think you will eat me?" Valerika smiled sarcastically.

"Where else can you escape?" Hakong's figure turned into a bloody light and rushed towards Valerica below, and the gargoyles on the other side also swung their hard stone claws at Valerica.

"You seem to have forgotten that I created this thing!" As Valerica's words fell, the gargoyle froze, and then the wings behind him flapped vigorously, and he kicked on his knees, colliding with the fast-flying vampire Maharaja.

"You're just dying!" Hakong swung his mace, and a cold aura of death spread from his body, and the gargoyles that came into contact with him didn't last a second before they turned into shards.

Valerica's face changed when she saw the mace in Hakong's hand, and the painful memories made her bite her lips.

"I'll talk about it when you catch me." Valerica's gaze regained firmness, and she suddenly drew a dwarven crossbow, the flaming bolt was much faster than the spell cast, and Hakong, who had just finished off the gargoyle, had no time to dodge, and the arrow pierced into his shoulder, and the burst of fire caused the vampire lord suspended in mid-air to let out a muffled snort.

"You're really going back and going, and such a trick won't work for me at all." A bolt was pulled out of the shoulder, and the flesh sprouts in the wound that had been blasted by the flames wriggled for a while, and it was back to normal in an instant.

Valerika didn't reply, her other hand behind her back was already pressed on the mechanism on the wall, only to see a secret passage suddenly appear behind her, and as soon as she turned around, she rushed in, and the secret passage was closed with a bang.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Hakong's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt that he was being teased again.

Several vampires in dark red robes ran out of the other passage and crashed right in front of Hakong, who was angry, and one of them was smashed in the head with a hammer before he could react to what was happening.

Several other vampires stood trembling to the side.

"What are you doing in a daze, let me go to the door and block it!"

Several vampires nodded hurriedly, waved a few death hounds, and hurried to the back door of the castle where the secret passage leads.

Standing in front of the stone wall, Hakong lifted the mace and smashed it, and after a loud bang, an accessible opening appeared in front of him.

In the secret passage, several newly resurrected skeletons rushed up with tattered swords as soon as they saw Hakong, these fragile undead were no threat to him, but they could disgust him.

Valerica, who had come out of the secret passage, was once again trapped in a situation of siege at both ends, and was about to leave the castle, but her heart sank.

At that moment, an ice pick flew suddenly, and a vampire, unaware of the attack behind him, collapsed clutching his impaled chest.

The rest of the vampires hurriedly turned back, only to see Serana standing by the door throwing another string of ice picks at them.

"Nonsense!"

Valerica glared at Serana and burst in her direction, as if she was blaming, she was comforted by the unexpected assistance she received from her daughter.

With a dagger and piercing the throat of the Death Hound, Valerica saw her daughter, who was surrounded by vampires and death hounds, and quickly shouted, "Run, leave me alone!" ”

The encircled Serana showed no intention of retreating, only to see a long sword shining with golden light stabbing out from her diagonal back, followed by a sweep, and several of the slashed vampires screamed and retreated, covering the smoking wounds at a loss.

And the death hounds wailed and turned into a push of powder.

The light-filled Hill stood beside Serana, like a divine escort.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, Valerica breathed a sigh of relief and ran over quickly.

"You leave without saying a word, I'm afraid something will happen to you." Serana said as she reached out to wipe the embarrassing marks on Valerica's face as she fled.

"What a picture of mother-daughter love, so that you can die together." Hakong's voice rang out at the exit of the secret passage.

"You ......" Serana's voice stopped abruptly, and when she saw Morag Barr's mace, she reacted even more than her mother, and directly crouched down with her head in her hands.

"What a coward, you have failed Lord Morag Barr." Hakong said dismissively.

"Boon!?" Valerica, who was comforting her daughter, turned around and scolded angrily, "Let our mother and daughter continue to suffer in death and resurrection, you call that a gift!? ”

"It's just a test, you can't even understand it," Hakong shook his head, "just let me take it all back!" ”

"You can't do it!" Hill stood in the way of the mother and daughter.
