Chapter 16: I am the Demon King Candidate
For the next two days, Celia still did not return to the town, which means that it is still safe to hunt monsters in the area of Castlevania.
During this time, Lin Meng certainly won't waste it, and in the abandoned villages outside, he kept hunting demons - I don't know if it was affected by the dark magic in the city, and the monsters that were killed would be reborn in a short time.
With Timo's cooperation, he killed a lot of monsters, even including the three Witches, and harvested a total of five keys in two days, but unfortunately there was no flash key, and the five keys were all universal points, and a total of 800 universal points were obtained.
In addition, Teemo's experience bar from LV1 to LV2 is already 70% full, and it won't take long to predict that the level will be increased.
"You have successfully spent 5 days in the world of Castlevania, you have killed more than 10 monsters, and from now on, you can return to the reincarnation space at any time. If you choose to stay in the Present World, you will be forcibly repatriated after 5 days. โ
Hearing the hint given by the brand, Lin Meng understood that now, going to Japan to find the innocent Celia, she should come back.
When I went to the town tavern, I heard a discussion, someone was on the road of the town, and saw Celia in a carriage returning here - because of the arrival of this cult leader, there was a thick darkness and gloom in the town!
"Now, it is undoubtedly the real beginning of the plot flow."
In the novice world, the reincarnation space is relatively humane, and the first 5 days are obviously given to the reincarnator to hunt monsters safely.
Lin Meng is in this plot world, and the level of completing the task is actually very low - you must know that the monsters he hunted are all in the abandoned villages, and the strongest armored knights, axe armors, and demon wolves are also the existence at the bottom of the entire Castlevania.
He stepped into a church in the town, which was originally built by the Orthodox Church, but a few months earlier, the clergy inside had been killed, and it had become the base camp of the "Light of the Newborn" cult.
The door of the church was closed, and Lin Meng relied on his excellent agility to climb over the wall to enter, and when he landed on the ground, he was blocked by several cultists wearing blood-colored robes and hiding their faces in the shadows. These wicked brainwashed cultists, seeing what the invaders were doing, were not expelling, but ...... Slaughter!
The detection function of the reincarnation mark is useless to human cultists, but the strength of these cultists and miscellaneous NPCs developed from humans should not be very strong.
The silver-bladed short sword and the slashed iron sword intersected, bursting out a mixed silver and black spark of light, and feeling the power coming from his hand, Lin Meng's heart was much more stable. The Cultist's strength is at most around 12 points, which is powerful among ordinary people, but it can't be compared to his strength of 16 points.
Knocking the iron sword open, Lin Meng, who had previously hunted monsters and gained a lot of combat experience, smashed his left fist on the temple of the sword-wielding cultist, and then bent an elbow to hit the chest and heart of another cultist who sneaked up from behind.
The two, one fell to the ground like a heavy sandbag, and the other, spurting out a mouthful of blood, clutched his chest and staggered back.
Lin Meng's feet were cushioned, his body suddenly accelerated, and the silver-bladed short sword drew an arc from top to bottom, cutting at the wrist of a cultist holding a sword on the side. The cultist's movements were extremely fast, and with a strange scream, he swung his iron sword sideways and pressed down, blocking the short sword.
His body leaned forward and used the strength of his whole body to block this sword, but Lin Meng not only had an advantage in strength, but when he attacked, he was also mixed with the potential energy of impact!
The blocking iron sword paused for a moment, and was picked off, Lin Meng put the sword on the cultist's neck, and said in a deep tone with anger: "Stop your offensive actions!" I am a candidate for the Demon King, a great being who inherits the power of Count Dracula, and if you offend me again, it will mean your destruction! โ
Cultists are not afraid of death, and under doctrinal brainwashing, they are as fanatical as medieval crusaders, as ruthless as executioners in the Inquisition, and do not care about their own lives at all.
But what Lin Meng said shocked these people, the Demon King Candidate? There are two of them next to Lord Celia, why is there another one here?
A group of cultists were frightened and frightened, but these people couldn't make a decision, so they left five people to surround Lin Meng in the middle, and the other went to find Sect Master Selia in a panic.
Lin Meng claimed to be a "Demon King Candidate", this lie can be said to be shocking! But since he came here, he naturally had the idea of saying so. The probability of success of the operation is not great, but once it is successful, the indirect benefits brought are too exciting!
It is very dangerous to deal with villains, with the strength of the other party, Lin Meng may die at any time, and it is his confidence to be able to return to space.
Staying quietly in this square of the church, after a while, Celia, who was wearing a red, white, and black dress similar to the robe of a priest, with a beautiful face and a cold and old-fashioned expression, arrived here.
Now, it is the first time that Lin Meng has taken a closer look at this woman, with long dark blonde hair and a delicate fair face like a gongbi portrayal, which is much darker than a normal person's complexion, not only has no blood, but also reveals a strange skin with a blue-gray color.
Especially on her, in addition to the temperament of being a superior, she also vaguely makes people feel a cold, evil, and cruel atmosphere!
With her golden snake-like vertical eyes, Celia scanned Lin Meng's body, and then looked directly into Lin Meng's eyes, her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all the flesh and soul of a person. Lin Meng looked at the evil girl frankly, and he found that Selia's face gradually showed disdain.
A man came to the square from the depths of the church, and this brown-haired, sinister man with a smiling expression was none other than Dmitry Brinov.
"It's said that there's another Demon King candidate, this rubbish-looking guy?"
"It's just calling itself."
Celia said coldly, this girl observed Lin Meng before, and sensed that this man's strength was low, only a little stronger than ordinary people, how could it be the inheritor of Dracula's strength?
"It's not a claim, it's a fact! I was born on August 18, 1999, the day Dracula was destroyed, and I was infected by the magic that escaped after his death, and I mastered the abilities that belonged to Dracula! โ
Lin Meng said word by word in an unquestionable tone: "So, I am Dracula's Demon King Candidate, this is, absolutely!" โ
Selia barely took a little interest in the confidence he was showing: "What abilities have you inherited?" โ
"The power of summoning."
"Oh?"
Celia was a little moved, after Count Dracula became the Demon King, he had a lot of power, the power of domination, the power of replication, and the power of destruction...... These three forces were inherited by Lai Sucan, Dmitry, and Dalio.
The power of summoning, this is indeed one of the powers that Dracula has mastered, and the ability to summon monsters that Celia herself has is not inherited from Dracula, but comes from her bloodline of King Solomon's descendants, and the bloodline has reached a contract with the demons of hell!
Through the "Solomon Mantra Circle", which is also the prototype of the Demon Sealing Array, it is summoned with magic power.
If it is the power of summoning, and he was born on August 18, 1999, then the man in front of him should be the candidate for the demon king who inherited part of Count Dracula's strength. The man's physical strength can be explained by the fact that he is weak in perception: he is a pure summoner.
"Put your summoning power to work." Selia's tone was still cold, but the expression on her face was obviously softened.
In the void in front of Lin Meng, a large number of points of light began to emerge, and this amazing scene made Celia have some expectations in her heart. As an existence with the creed of following Dracula, no one will attach more importance to the successor of Dracula who may become the Demon King!
Those two demon king candidates, it took Celia nearly a year and a lot of effort to do it, if the guy in front of her who came to the door by herself was really a demon king candidate, it would be a huge surprise.
The light dissipated, Celia's face stiffened, and Dmitry, who stood next to her, with a smirk on his face, also froze.
The two of them looked down, and there was a small thing on the ground that was no more than knee-high, a strange animal, which looked like an enlarged squirrel, or a raccoon that walked uprightโit was wearing a blood-stained tattered clothes, a necklace of teeth around its neck, a half-cut skull of a skull on its head, and two bone clubs in both hands, which was indescribably weird!
"This ...... What is this? The corners of Celia's mouth twitched.
"I use the power of summoning to summon demons."
Accompanied by Lin Meng's words, the erect animal waved the bone stick in his hand, and his throat let out a fierce low roar of "grunt".
This little thing, of course, is to launch the "Hero Summon", the swift scout Timo who summons it, but in order to make it look more vicious, a lot of effort was spent on dressing up, decorating props, of course, collected when hunting monsters.
For example, the half-cut skull that covers Timo's head is contributed by a skeleton.
These bones, blood-stained clothes, all have a dark and bloody aura that belongs to the monsters of Castlevania!
Selia's expression was cold, the highest attribute of this summoner woman was intelligence, far beyond Lin Meng's imagination! Intelligence brings extremely high perception, she can feel Lin Meng's approximate strength, and she can also feel the so-called "demon" summoned, what level of strength it has.
There was a sense of annoyance in her heart that she had been fooled, and Celia, whose face was like frost, invisibly exuded momentum, causing the temperature of this space to drop suddenly.
A red figure suddenly jumped from the house on the side, and Teemo, who was holding a bone club, only let out a "squeak" scream, and was slapped into a flattened piece of meat pie formed by the compression of flame magic from a blow from top to bottom, formed by the compression of flame magic!
The meatloaf was a mixture of flesh, skin, and bones, and it "crackled" in the flames, and a small amount of cyan smoke rose.
"This is the so-called Demon King Candidate, inheriting the power of summoning, summoning demons?" Dalio, who landed in the square, spat out a mouthful of phlegm into the flesh of the burning flames, and the rising flames were instantly extinguished, and the corpse of the meatloaf that Timo had turned into was also pierced by the bullet-like thick phlegm.
"Vulnerable!"
