Chapter 39: The Hunt
In the calm street, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, and three or four men, dressed in armor that shimmered slightly in the moonlight, ran out of the alley with anxious expressions.
Their faces all have a helpless look that can only be revealed when they see despair, but if you look closely, you will find that in that helpless look, there is a hint of determination to put life out of the way.
"Hey, hey, it looks like you're here to cover the rat that the kitten escaped from?" The man in the scarlet robe, with only his dry hands and pale face, slowly walked out of the path behind the men.
There was a look of helplessness on Vladimi's face, this was the third team of escorts he had encountered in the pursuit of Caroline, and these people rushed to confuse their own progress with their lives as if they didn't care about their lives at all.
This time, though, the princess was sure he couldn't escape - just in the most recent encounter, he had planted the blood mark on the princess's body that the vampire used to track her, and the only reason why he would still be fooled at this time was because he wanted to have some fun after being fooled twice in a row - and the remaining two women, he didn't think he could escape from his hands.
"But, damn it, it's catching up!" the guards turned and looked at Vladimi through gritted teeth, as most of their comrades had died at the hands of this man in the battle just now, and some of them had a super-friendly existence.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know if you can escape...... "The younger guard whispered in a choked voice, pressing his trembling hands.
They are not like the dead soldiers, so they will be afraid before death, but just like the old driver will leave a seed before abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, the sense of mission that comes from their bones makes them still think about the safety of the princess before death.
"Let's fight with him, even if we can only buy time for Her Highness the princess for a moment!" the other guard raised the shield in his hand and whispered as he looked at Vladimi, who was standing in front of him.
It's not so much an inquiry, but an instinct to seek companions before dying, and although that is a selfish thought, I'm afraid no one wants to go on the road alone!
The rest of the guards raised their weapons, and while they didn't even have a comforting effect, they could make their behavior look a little different from that of sending them to death - but only a little.
"Before I send you on your way, it looks like I need to tell you some bad news!" Vladimi crossed his hands and raised his hands, his dry fingers showing their slender blade-like nails, "your princess, will soon come down to accompany you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vlarkimi's figure disappeared from the spot, and the next moment his terrifying face suddenly magnified in front of the guards, and before the latter could react, the blade-like nails slashed into their throats.
The next moment, the men's armored bodies, like a chopped tomato, burst out several bloody rays at once, and then the high heads were also suddenly free from the restraints of their bodies and fell from their necks - although it seemed that the attack was only aimed at the neck, in fact, at that moment, Vladimi had completely torn their bodies apart.
One of the guards seemed to be standing at the back, or perhaps because he was being protected, so that although he had many scars on his body, the scars on his neck were much lighter—but this was obviously not a good thing for him.
Perhaps hearing the guard's moans before he died, Vladimi, who was just about to leave, couldn't help but turn around and walk back, and then immediately removed the full-coverage helmet on the guard's head, which was obviously one of the reasons why the guard didn't die in the first place.
"Is it a woman? Speaking of which, I haven't hid fresh women's blood in days!" Vladimi's eyes seemed to make a woman as much as food, so as he spoke, he picked up the female guard.
The pale face was close to the guard's neck, and then there was a terrible, scalp-numbing sucking sound - the guard's dying body could not help but twitch and struggle at this time, as if at the moment of falling into the abyss, he fell into the so-called hell again.
Half a sound later, with the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, a dry, lifeless corpse was casually thrown at Vlarkimi's feet.
"Tsk, it seems that even a woman doesn't taste like ordinary people's blood?" With a dissatisfied expression on his face, Vlarkimi stretched out his tongue and licked the blood on the side of his mouth, then turned to look in a certain direction in the Holy Capital, "Then, it's time to meet that disobedient kitten, if it's the princess's blood, it must be a lot more delicious, right?"
......
Oselle took Caroline's hand and hurried through the Holy Capital, and although the tears that kept overflowing from the corners of her eyes had long blurred her vision, she had no intention of stopping.
Followed by a guy who could easily take the lives of the guards, even now that they knew Bryce was dead, they didn't have the slightest time to cry sadly!
Although it had long been expected that someone would be unfavorable to the princess, neither Ossaili nor anyone else might have imagined that this guy would dare to be so blatant and send a killer when the princess was still in the holy capital - if the princess of a country died in the holy capital where the elf king was located, then it would also be a shame for the entire elf clan to be provoked.
"Oselle, run away, that guy's goal is me, and if we are separated, we will have a better chance of escaping!" After passing through a corner, Caroline finally stopped, and then violently broke free of Osily's grasp.
For Osily, who has no power of her own, such a proposal does seem to be the most sensible, if the guards cover and escape still have the meaning of delaying time, then now Osily's approach seems to be simply to die with Caroline.
What's more, even now, they don't know where to run away, although subconsciously, the direction they are moving in is the direction where Yi Fan is at the reception.
"Caroline, what are you talking about, I'm, I'm your sister, running away alone!" Turning to Caroline, Otsairi said loudly.
Maybe it was because her emotions were completely out of control at this moment, she finally couldn't control the fear and fear in her heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably - the news that Bryce had been killed from the mouth of the monster was obviously a terrible fact that was difficult for Oselle, who was only a girl at this time.
"Hehe, it's hiding in this place? It's over, my cute little kitten. ”
It was as if an unpleasant sound came from the depths of the throat, and suddenly sounded in this empty street.
The moment the voice sounded, the faces of the two girls suddenly showed expressions of fear, even though they were far smarter and more mature than their peers, but when faced with such a desperate situation, maybe all human beings would show the same appearance!
Vladimi loved the look on the face of a human, and he still remembered the first time he sucked blood, the poor church nun, kneeling before him in despair and praying to the gods, who would never have known that she would never care about the life and death of a minor character like hers.
Osily turned around abruptly and took two steps forward to block Caroline's front, perhaps from the power of instinct, because at this time, she should no longer have the strength to move her steps!
She held up the wand she had always carried with her, wiping tears from her eyes as she choked and chanted about what she did best.
"O Salman, the elemental of fire, please give me your power and burn everything in sight, Flame Blast!"
A huge fireball condensed on the staff, and the fiery red magic array suddenly appeared at Vladimi's feet! At this time of life and death, Osili seemed to have broken through the bottleneck of a high-level magician at once, and actually successfully used the magic that only a magician could use.
The fireball smashed into Vladimi's body, and the pillar of fire that erupted from the magic array also swallowed his entire body, but it was useless! It was not so much a hit, but rather that the opponent had no intention of dodging at all, and let that kind of magic hit his body, because such a magic could not cause even the slightest damage to Vladimi.
- Just the magic used by the magician, obviously not enough to defeat Vlarkimi, this man just defeated two high-ranking knights not long ago, although those two also caused him some damage, but it was only some, he was infinitely close to the magister, he has such a proud capital.
But soon, the expression on Vladimi's face changed, and the flame, which should have done no harm to him, suddenly increased several times in power at the moment when it was about to disappear, and it slammed towards his entire body.
Subconsciously, Vladimi drove the magic power on his body to try to extinguish it, but what he didn't expect was that the moment the flame came into contact with the magic power, it suddenly burned more vigorously, and even vaguely affected his soul.
Almost at the moment when he noticed this strangeness, without hesitation and thought, Vladimi hurriedly used the move he used to deal with the two big knights before, and countless particles like blood suddenly emerged from his body, and then turned into a blood-colored light shield, blocking those flames out.
Because the mask was completely separated from the body, when the flame burned it out, it also disappeared at once.
"Huh, is there still such a way to deal with Black Flame? Even the soul can be burned out?" A voice of doubt sounded from one of the houses behind Osselly, and then a human man who was very strange to Vladimi suddenly appeared in front of him.
