Chapter 1495 C: The Twilight Incident (1)
The Plymouth breeze carried an indescribable salty dampness, heavy clouds hung over the sky, rusty old ships parked in the dockyards of Devon Harbour, diamonds fell on the crests of the waves at the setting sun, and the foam of the waves could be seen through the gaps in the old sails, like pale fingers, etching the trail marks on the ancient reef.
A somewhat dilapidated black car stopped on the side of the road, several figures rushed into the watchtower before the end of the sunset, the thick bloody smell came from inside the gate, Jim, who broke through the door, grabbed the weapon with both hands, arched his body and walked in step by step.
Red Robin looked down at the blood on the ground, then looked at the staircase and said, "They're underground."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bennett turned into a bat and rushed down, followed by several other people, and as soon as they rushed into the ground, they saw Kaz's shriveled body lying in the center of a mysterious magic circle.
All of his blood was drained, forming one stream after another of magic-guided bloodstreams, flowing in one direction along the rune lines of the circle.
Konstantin looked up and saw countless blood-colored fragments and slime at the end of the circle, which looked like a broken egg.
"What are they hatching with Kaz's blood······ Konstantin's boots made a wet clatter as he stepped on the blood, and he strode towards Kaz's corpse, but Red Robin stepped forward to stop him.
"I have forensic experience, you stand back and let me check it out."
Konstantin glanced at him, but stopped, and Red Robin stepped forward and turned Kaz's body over with his hands, looking at the large hole in his chest.
"He had his heart pulled out of his heart, then drained all his blood, and even squeezed the strength out of his bones and muscles, what the hell was that vampire named Mary trying to do?"
Bennett stared at the traces of eggs at the end of the room, and Konstantin was about to ask him if he had found anything, but Bennett said, "Do you know what is the difference between the secret and demon parties within the blood clan?"
Bennett took a deep breath, and as he spoke, the mysteries of the Bloodlines for thousands of years were gradually revealed.
"Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, was expelled from the Garden of Eden for killing his brother, and he vowed to take revenge on Adam and Eve, so he took their offspring, that is, mankind, as food, and sucked their blood and deprived them of their lives."
"Cain has a total of thirteen descendants, that is, the thirteen clans of the blood family, and the blood from Cain gives them great power, but they are not completely united, and some clans are even like enemies with each other."
"In the year we call the Year of Blood, a war broke out between the Thirteen Clans, and they split into two factions, namely the Secret Alliance and the Demon Banquet Alliance, which later became the Secret Party and the Demon Party, also known as the Tantra and the Demon Sect."
"The struggle between the two parties never ends when they believe that they are guilty of Cain's murder of their brothers, and that they are to keep a low profile day and night in order to achieve liberation and redemption, while the demons believe that humanity has stolen the position of the first Cain, and that they should follow Cain's fatwa and take revenge on mankind."
"For many years, their main conflict was whether or not they should be loyal to the first ancestor Cain, and the members of the Demon Party slaughtered humans and transformed countless bloodthirsty monsters, not just to satisfy their own appetites, they were collecting life force."
Konstantin turned his head to stare at the broken egg and asked, "······ For what?" "Resurrect Cain."
"Is Cain dead?" Red Robin asked.
"No, Cain is immortal, and when God punished Cain, he was declared to leave the Garden of Eden, but the people were not to kill him, but the church that honored the will of God regarded Cain as a sinner, and kept expelling and sealing him.
"The most recent time was two hundred years ago, when St. William from York Minster and a group of knights inflicted a heavy blow on Cain, causing him to fall into a deep sleep and never be heard from again."
Bennett sighed, turned to Constantine and said, "Remember our previous speculation about the purpose of the Blood Red Moon's ritual of sacrificing the living? Maybe we're all wrong, it's not the promotion ceremony of Mary, the Scarlet Queen or some other bloodline, they want to take it
Gather the power of life and use it to resurrect Cain."
Konstantin took a few steps forward to the fragments of the egg, half-knelt down to examine the slime of the four pieces around him, and said, "Don't tell me that they have succeeded."
"I'm afraid so." Red Robin's voice came from around Kaz's corpse, he stood up, looked at Konstantin and said, "I changed the circle that summoned demons, and instead of calling 'Ritasha the Dirty', my call was connected to another demon."
"Who?" Konstantin frowned. "Lilith."
Everyone present gasped, and Konstantin rushed over with a brisk step, putting his hand on Red Robin's shoulder and looking into his pupils.
Suddenly, he turned pale, staggered back two steps, shook his head vigorously, and said, "Get out, Lilith, I owe you!"
The dead man Boston stepped forward and said, "Do you know what a dangerous act you have done? You seek answers from the Mother of Nightmares and Nights, who will demand that you pay."
"More on the cost later." Red Robin came to the broken egg and said, "Lilith told me that it was her nephew who did the good deeds, and that she was of the same origin as Adam in the Garden of Eden, and that God made Adam out of clay and made her, and that they were brother and sister, and that Cain was Adam's son and Lilith's nephew."
"It's a big problem." Konstantin looked up at the talisman inscription on the ceiling and said, "I'm afraid the Second War of the Bloodlines is coming, go, go back to the Oblivion Bar, we need to gather the men of the wizarding world, and then inform the Church...
As Konstantin walked towards the door, the Night Master Jim was stunned for a moment, he stopped Konstantin, then raised the Nightblade, and said to the men, "What's wrong, Andrea, is something wrong?"
"Master, come back quickly! The bar is in a mess now, and the cabbage you brought back knocked over two, but you can't handle more crazy mages!"
"What the hell is going on? How dare they make trouble at the Oblivion Bar?!"
"There's a big mess! The demons of Hell broke the covenant en masse, and they took back all the power they had lent to the magicians······ The wizarding world is over!"
Everyone present was stunned, and in the end, it was the dead man who reacted first, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, now the power of all of us is not from the demon, let's go back to the bar first to stop the chaos."
Jim, the Night Master, opened the door to Maia, and the group took a shortcut from the wizarding world back to the Forgotten Bar, where they saw a moorage lying on the ground wailing and a beating cabbage bouncing around on the counter.
Jim was so anxious at the chaos in the bar that he had completely forgotten Schiller's explanation, and he tried to go back to the back of the counter to get the box to pack the cabbage, but as soon as he got close to the counter, he was hit by an uppercut to the opposite wall.
He let out a scream, then stood up dizzily holding his nose, took a deep breath, pointed to the cabbage and said, "Quick, put it up!" If we go on like this, the wizarding world will be over!"
In the end, it was Bennett who turned into a bat, dodged the cabbage's attack, and knocked the cabbage back into the box, and the female wine security guard, Deria, closed the lid of the box.
"Thanks to it!" Andrea crawled out from behind the counter and said, "A group of mages are crazy to find the Night Master, I said you are not here, they are going to do it, but fortunately it protects me."
"What the hell is going on?" Jim asked, looking at Andrea with wide eyes, Andrea sighed, grabbed a magician from behind the counter who had been knocked unconscious by her with a wine bottle, pressed it on the counter, and said, "You better ask him."
Konstantin stepped forward and grabbed the magician by the collar, splashing ice water from the cup next to him on his face, and soon the bald middle-aged mage woke up leisurely.
"Oh my God, Konstantin!!" He screamed instinctively.
But before Konstantin could ask, the middle-aged mage grabbed Konstantin's arm and cried at him: Konstantin······ Archmage Konstantin! You've got to figure it out! The damned demons broke the contract and took back their power, mostly
The mages can't do any more magic!"
"The mages were driven out because they couldn't maintain the operation of the mage tower, and when other creditors came to the door, the lucky ones ran away, and the bad ones were torn to pieces, and the territory of the magic family lacked the support of the magic array, and all kinds of demons and monsters came to the door, and there were rivers of blood everywhere, all of which were corpses... ...」
The middle-aged mage kept babbling, crying silently, "Crazy, crazy, all crazy..."
Konstantin pushed him away, slapped him aside, and kicked him in the stomach and said, "That's why you rushed into the neutral zone? Utter fools, you are at your own peril!"
The middle-aged mage who fell to the ground didn't even have the strength to get up, he could only lie on the ground and howl, Konstantin took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Don't point fingers at these cowards, without the charity of the devil, they are not even as good as a three-year-old child."
He paced in front of the bar a little irritably, and said, "I should have thought that there would be such a day, how could the devil be so kind and lend strength to so many people with such a low threshold?"
"They have been waiting for the day when these fools, who have adapted to the power of magic, lose their strength, kneel at their feet, and beg for their torture, just for that little scrap of food!"
"Shame on humanity!" Konstantin scolded.
"Calm down, John." The dead man, who didn't have any mood swings, stepped forward and pressed Konstantin's shoulder and soothed.
Red Robin's thoughts were as clear as ever, and he said, "We need to figure out the reasons for the demons' collective breach of the covenant, save the last remaining living force in the wizarding world to deal with the impact that may come, and then find out the secrets behind all this."
"You won't have that chance."
A cold female voice sounded in the doorway, and a bolt of lightning struck outside the door of the Oblivion Bar, and a woman with huge bat-wings slowly walked into the Oblivion Bar.
"Mary!" Bennett called out her name.
Mary raised her head slightly, she had beautiful reddish-brown curls, commonly known as a medieval noblewoman, wearing a long rococo dress, like Madame de Pompadour coming out of a painting.
She glanced around, and when she saw the magicians lying on the ground in embarrassment, she sneered and said, "Bad luck, humans, it seems that the devils can't stand your stupidity."
"What the hell is going on?" Jim stared at her coldly and asked, "Don't even think about getting out of the bar alive until you explain it clearly!"
"What do you mean? Is the return of the Great Ancestor the right choice for the devils?" Mary was undaunted, and more Bloodclan poured into the bar.
She took two steps forward, her hands folded in front of her to maintain an elegant and dignified appearance, with an unbridled calm that contrasted sharply with the tense atmosphere on the other side.
"Before you threaten me, do you want to see—who is this?"
Mary smiled and waved lightly with her pale fingertips, and two strong Bloods tossed a figure to the ground.
Konstantin's eyes widened and he called out her name. "Zatana ?!!!"
