Chapter VIII

Blatter has been running.

After the ground collapsed, he took advantage of the vampire's night vision to easily find a way out of the darkness underground, escaping the Vatican. However, at this time, the entire city of Rome was rushed by the special police and papal guards who rushed to hear the news, and several non-human warriors who escaped with Blatter were killed one after another, and Blatter fled to the outskirts of the city alone.

Cassias and several papal guards followed him. is worthy of being a well-known vampire hunter, after leaving the Vatican, Blatter fought with him several times, feeling that the characteristics of this person's weapon faintly restrained the power of his vampire, if it weren't for the sampire sword, I'm afraid he would have been injured by Casias.

I thought that after leaving the Vatican's barrier and fully exerting my abilities, it would be easy to get rid of the other party. But now, Blatter is less confident.

However, escaping like this is not the way to go, and Blatter decides to break off with the group of pursuers first, no matter what. Thinking of this, he calmly stopped and turned to face Cassias and the others.

Far from the city of Rome, it is a Roman ruin, with several thick marble columns supporting a few cobblestones, overgrown with weeds and broken walls.

Seeing Blatter stop, Cassias and the others also stopped. Without waiting for Cassias's orders, several papal guards had dispersed far away to surround Blatter in the center, and everyone was on guard, and the atmosphere was full of imminent meaning.

Flexibly wrapping the odd-shaped long-handled weapon around the top of his head, Cassias waved his hand at his side: "Don't run away?" ”

Blatter silently took out the demon-sucking sword: "The battle in the Vatican is unfinished, let's end it here." ”

Cassias smiled slightly: "That's exactly what I mean." As he spoke, a blazing white light once again condensed in the concentric circles at the top of the weapon, and several papal guards also drew their weapons.

Taking a deep breath and holding the demon-sucking sword in front of his chest, Blatter looked up at the setting sun, and without warning he had launched an attack. Instead of taking Cassias directly, he staggered towards one of the papal guards closest to him.

The papal guard had been keeping an eye on Blatter's movements, and the other party rushed in first. With a twist of his wrist with the two-handed sword with the demon slaying inscription in his hand, he was already slashing at Blat.

However, seeing the gray shadow flickering, Blatter's figure suddenly accelerated and swept past the person, and before the papal guards could even understand what was happening, they felt a chill on the side of their neck, and they were killed by blood.

What a speed!

Killing the first man, Blatter immediately rushed towards the second papal guard, just as he recovered from the shock of his companion's being killed. Seeing that Blatter was approaching, the papal guards hurriedly raised their runic spears with both hands and shot at him desperately, while his companions next to him also took out a clay bottle and sprinkled the holy water in the bottle on Blatter.

Without dodging or dodging, just as the rune bullet was about to reach him, Blat's body turned into mist and quickly wrapped around the other party, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the papal guard, and the demon-sucking sword had already stabbed into his back heart. At the same time, he stretched forward with his left hand and grabbed all the holy water in his palm, Blatt was not even afraid of the sun, how could he help him with just holy water.

The papal guard who sprinkled the holy water was completely stunned, and Blatter drew his demonic sword with his backhand and was about to rush forward to kill him. Suddenly, the wind howled behind him, and Blatter sighed secretly and parried reflexively.

With a loud bang, the Demon Sucking Sword collided with Cassias's weapon, sending out a string of cyan sparks. Taking advantage of the sudden momentum and the advantage of his long weapon, Cassias forced Blatter back a few steps, and then swept the weapon into a whirlwind, and the two intertwined, bursting like cyan sparks.

In this empty place, Cassias took advantage of his long weapon to the extreme, using his waist strength and the inertia of his weapon swing to give his best with every blow. What blatted Blatter the most was the Seraph's light on top of the opponent's weapon, and he even had the illusion that he was fighting a ball of lava.

Blocking several consecutive attacks from Cassias, Blatter took advantage of the opponent's recovery to pestle the demon-sucking sword on the ground. Immediately, a deep furrow appeared in the ground and stretched rapidly towards Cassias, and the weeds withered in its way, and the broken earth turned a deep black, like an invisible Grim Reaper ploughing the ground with his scythe.

At the same time, Blatter held the handle with both hands and spun sharply in place, and when it turned to the front again, he swung his sword horizontally. Then he heard a whining wind, and a sharp vacuum blade broke through the air and slashed out, and the two attacks crossed horizontally and vertically into a cross to take Cassias directly, with an interval of only a short breath.

The relaxed expression on Cassias's face disappeared, he took a step back, grasped the weapon with both hands and slashed forward with all his might, and shouted sharply, "In the name of God, summon the angel of power!" ”

In an instant, like a hundred tons of ZHA medicine detonating together, a violent impact poured out from in front of Casias, causing a deep ditch seven or eight meters wide along the way. Countless earth and stones tumbled into the air, and the sound of rumbling and cracking was like thunder, and the power was amazing.

Faintly, a muscular, majestic-looking angel phantom with a two-handed giant sword fluttered its wings and flew at the front of the violent impact. At the same time, a Grim Reaper with a giant scythe with a long handle covered in a tattered black robe, and a Phantom of a demonic beast with a thin body like a stingray also appeared on Blatter's attacking side.

The three phantoms each glared at each other, and they secretly roared. In an instant, the two attacks collided together, and immediately caused a huge earthquake in the center, and a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke rose into the air, and the entire ground shook incessantly. The marble columns of the ruins of ancient Rome collapsed, and the shock wave of the aftershocks turned over the surrounding soil.

When the smoke cleared, a huge crater with a diameter of 10 meters and a bottomless depth appeared at the center of the explosion. Looking down from mid-air, when you can see both sides of the deep pit, two straight deep ditches, one thick and one thin, stretch out separately to form a strange pattern, which also shows how powerful the impact just now is.

Although he managed to block Blatter's attack, Cassias was not happy at all. The other party can summon the god of death and the wind demon beast, the power of this vampire is simply unfathomable, and his fear of holy water and sunlight reminds Cassias of something in the legend, and for a while it makes him feel a deep chill.

On the other side, there was no trace of Blatter, and he might have taken advantage of the explosion just now to escape, but Cassias was not in the slightest mood to pursue it. A papal guard came up to him and said, "Mr. Casias, should we continue the chase?" ”

Unexpectedly, Cassias shook his head slowly: "No, this step is enough, let's go." ”

"But... Companion enmity? The papal guard was stunned.

Cassias shook the weapon in his hand, and he didn't know where he received it: "It's okay, don't chase it anymore, this is also an order from above." Then he turned and left.

"The above? What's going on? The guard caught up and asked.

Cassias waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this. Besides, did you intend to fight such a vampire at night? ”

The sun is dim, and the dim sun in the sky is halfway down, and it will soon be dark.

Knowing the meaning of Cassias's words, several papal guards shivered, hurriedly picked up the corpses of their companions, and the group walked away in a moment.

Behind a small mound on the other side of the ruins, Blatter waited with his demonic sword in hand. But the sudden departure of Cassias and his party made him very strange, and he poked his head out carefully, and the battlefield was indeed empty.

Relieved, Blatter gripped the demon-sucking sword and dispersed the glittering light of the inscription. He muttered, "Are you gone... It's good. I really don't want to use this trick either......"

With the Demon Sucking Sword in his body, Blatter completely melted into the thin darkness of the night and was never seen again.

Anne was a little anxious.

After falling underground, she shot several papal guards who tried to intercept her, and by mistake, she stumbled into a strange underground passage. It was impossible to turn back, so she had to run down the passage and run in.

The passage was very dilapidated and dusty, apparently abandoned for a long time, and the entrance was only revealed again by the explosion, but it was unexpectedly drilled into by Anne. The passage is long and crooked, and she doesn't know where it leads, and she can't see her fingers inside, so Anne can only grope her way forward with her superhuman sensing ability.

It wasn't long before Anne felt someone chasing after her, and there was only one person. It barely took her to know who this man was, John.

Only he, whose marksmanship is not inferior to Anne's archery skills, has enough sensing power to chase Anne's back.

In order to escape John's pursuit, Anne attacked the opponent several times by feeling, but John's sensitivity was no less than hers, and each arrow was easily shot away by him. In this way, neither of them could help anyone, and they fled and chased, and they didn't know how far they would go into this passage.

Anne was already an anxious person, and the small space and the endless road ahead made her feel even worse. John's stalker finally gave the agitation a general outburst.

After a pause, Anne closed her eyes and opened her bow and arrows, quietly waiting for the other party to arrive.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, but soon disappeared, and it was evident that John understood Anne's intentions and stopped not far away. In such an environment, the eyes are useless, even if the other party walks in front of them, they can't see, but with their super sensitivity, Anne and John can easily grasp everything in the passage.

The two didn't say a word, although they couldn't see each other, they could clearly know each other's location and even what they were doing. Pitch black, quiet, in this confined space, there is gradually an ambiguous atmosphere.

Click... Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the silent passage, the sound of John raising his gun. Anne, who had been maintaining a bow posture, immediately wiped her fingers, and three black arrows had already come out of the string.

She reached out on the wall of the cave and leapt into the air at the same time, and almost at the same time a few sparks exploded from her footing, which had been hit by the bullet. Before she could land, Anne fired a few more arrows, and the man rolled forward.

In this way, in this environment without a trace of light, Anne and John kept shooting at each other according to their feelings, and for a while the runic bullets and black arrows shuttled back and forth, and they kept greeting each other. But either it hit the floor of the cave wall, or it collided and exploded into a burst of sparks, and no one could hurt the other party.

After firing several black arrows in quick succession, Anne knew that she and John were so close that each had only one chance to attack.

Taking a deep breath, the five fingers of her right hand flexibly brushed the bowstring, and there were already four long arrows between her fingers, but this time she didn't shoot them immediately, but churned them into a bundle between her fingers.

By this time, the two of them were close enough to breathe.

With her eyes closed and her head turned sideways, Anne bent her body and pointed diagonally forward with her longbow, while her whole body relaxed and brought all her senses to the top, and all the surrounding situations were reflected in her heart, as if the whole person was one with the passage.

You only get one chance.

In an instant, Anne's eyes opened violently, and at the same time, her right hand was released, and the black arrow shot out of the string.

As soon as it broke away from the bow, the arrow was violently scattered, and it turned into four again, striking forward from different angles. Sure enough, John thought there was only one arrow, so he fired only one shot, knocking the black arrow in the middle away, but the other three arrows still shot at him.

Win! At such a close distance, there is no chance of recovering any omission, let alone three arrows!

However, then something happened that Anne could not have imagined. The bullet that flew the black arrow did not hit the ground completely, but hit the other arrow due to the speed of the ejection, and when it flicked on the body of the arrow, it used the reflection to accelerate and change direction again to hit the third arrow, and then flew towards the last arrow.

Everything happens only in an instant. When the bullet struck three arrows, the last one was already in John's eyebrow, and the arrows almost touched his skin. But John didn't look alarmed in the slightest, and he stood as a statue, watching the arrow come at him, the sharp tip of which pierced through the skin of his eyebrows.

While! Just as the tip of the arrow broke through the skin, the bullet finally flew, and the latter came first to bounce the arrow away. But there was still a small scar on John's eyebrows, and a trace of blood ran down the bridge of his nose.

Such a gun skill is simply amazing!

John's gunnery was terrifying, but his composure was even more chilling to Anne. For those of them who wield ranged weapons, it was important to be able to maintain a rock-like heart at all times, and it was clear that John had learned the truth.

It's a long story, but it all happened in less than half a second, and when the bullet struck the last arrow, Anne stopped stretching her bow, but swung her bow and slashed at John with her bowstring.

John also raised his runic spear to meet him, and the bow and spear intersected, and the two collided together. Although they were face to face and staring, neither of them could actually see each other, only a rapid breath sprayed on the opponent's face.

The two fought with all their might, rapid breathing and violent gasps sounded in this claustrophobic space, if they were heard by unknown people, I am afraid that they would immediately think of the matter of men and women, who knows, the parties are fighting for their lives?

With a twist of her foot, Anne pulled her bow to the side, and the two of them immediately slammed into the cave wall on the side. However, to the surprise of the two, the stone wall that should have been strong was shattered like tissue paper, and then it was actually hollow!

Caught off guard, Anne and John planted it together, and behind the stone wall was a smooth downward corridor, and the two entangled people had no time to react, so they fell down the corridor.
