"Damn it, who the hell is it? What kind of monster the hell! Come out for me. ”

Sherman looked at what was happening in front of him in horror, and he couldn't understand it, let alone accept it.

Obviously, in a second, he was able to lead this group of humans blinded by wealth to slaughter and sacrifice the city with blood.

But in the next second, everyone fell, and even he could feel a terrible heaviness coming from his body.

He was struggling and vigilantly staring around all corners for any possible attack.

However, it did not appear, the enemy was not here.

It wasn't until in the distance, at the end of the street, a faint sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer to his location, that he turned his gaze.

In the distance, a dark figure was slowly walking towards the street, and the protruding beak of the bird on his face made Xie Man feel a sense of physical discomfort.

True Liberation!

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xie Man knew that there was no room for reservations, and in the face of an unknown enemy, he needed to take out all his strength.

The flesh swelled, and then began to grow wildly, tearing apart the cloth armor worn on the body.

Gray joints protrude from the joints, forming sharp nail spines; Sharp nails turn into razors and derive to the soles of the feet; Crimson blood scars appeared all over his body, and his huge muscles were intertwined.

In the end, a huge bat wing was unfurled from its back.

Is this the legendary vampire?

Ronan looked at the flesh and blood monster in front of him, which was more than three meters tall and barely maintained its human form, and sighed in his heart.

This image is inevitably too far from the human form.

He thought of Sherman's handsome appearance, and the beautiful woman beside the Viscount.

In addition to the comparison, he did not forget to use his fingers to pinch a crow feather that landed on his shoulder and throw it forward.

"Huh?"

After completely liberating his own power, Xie Man's confidence soared, and after two hundred years of accumulation, he was no less than a fully armed silver knight among the human race.

Looking at the black feathers flying towards him, he was about to attack, his eyes were puzzled, and he stretched out his broad palm to hold it.

In his true state, he has formed a layer of bone on the surface, and his defensive power is no less than that of human armor.

【Sharp】

Xie Man was stunned for a moment.

Because his hand had been easily cut open just now, the bloody half of his palm fell to the ground.

【Auto Aim】

He reacted quickly, twisted his body, fell to the ground, and rolled continuously to open up the distance, but when he got up, he froze.

The feather still followed him, and sliced open his chest, piercing him in the heart.

Sherman tried to cover the wound with his hands, but he couldn't contain it.

With a stumbling footstep, the huge body finally fell to the ground, gushing blood flowing all over the ground, soaking the surrounding dirt.

Ronan watched from afar as he fell, and after a moment's thought, he picked up a crow feather and threw it away.

This time he cut off the other man's neck.

After the other party did not react, Ronan walked up to his detached head and crouched down.

At this moment, Xie Man's eyes widened.

"Let's go to hell together!"

The blood flowing from the section of his neck agitated, and a sharp blood-colored spear burst out in an instant, trying to pierce Ronan in one fell swoop.

【Star Barrier】

An invisible barrier appeared in mid-air to block the attack, and the spear, which had lost its strength to support, shattered into countless droplets of blood and sprinkled on the ground.

"Are vampires so alive?" Ronan pulled out a dagger and stabbed Sherman in the head.

"If it weren't for the isolation of my lord's power, how could I be, how could I be, so weak!" With intense reluctance, he closed his eyes.

At this moment, the blood flowing from his body seemed to be summoned, and quickly converged towards a part of his body.

In the end, only a huge monster corpse was left.

Ronan was on the lookout, and after a while nothing happened.

"It's going to be a real death." Ronan pulled out his dagger, picked up his shriveled head, threw it in the air and shook it around, and finally made up for it.

Well, no response, it's really dead.

He then walked over to Sherman's body and used his dagger to cut through where the blood pooled.

A reddish round gemstone and a fur-bound book slide out of the notch.

The text on the book did not belong to any of the mainstream languages in the Empire, which Ronan did not recognize, but the round gem pleased him.

[Some materials have been obtained to unlock the next level upgrade condition - build a complete mana pool]

[Eye of the Moonstone (Red): It can absorb the blood full of vitality around it, and store it in a special magical power.

When the mana stored inside reaches its limit, it will evolve into a Moonstone Heart, and a sufficient number of Moonstone Hearts will converge to attract the gaze of a special being. 】

The conditions needed for the upgrade finally came out, and Ronan breathed a sigh of relief.

The next level requires him to build a pool of mana, which requires a large number of special crystals that can transform and store mana. Originally, he was worried that this world would not have it, but now it seems that this material exists.

Ronan pinched the pale red gem in his hand, which absorbed blood and transformed it into special magical powers.

So the reason why these vampires want to start a massacre in the city is to gather enough blood to fill this gem.

After all, what is needed is blood full of vitality, and the kind that died of the Black Death is basically useless, but will bring impurities.

Then he paid attention to the second half of the introduction, attracting the attention of some special being.

Ronan remembered the object of Sherman's prayer, the Lord of the Red Moon.

Pray? Generally speaking, only gods are treated like this, right?

Ronan wasn't sure, he hadn't heard of it in the Kingdom, but after recalling it carefully, he suddenly remembered a passage in the canon of the Church.

It is a superficial introduction to the countless myths and stories of the Lord's protection of the world.

'Before the Lord's coming, in the age of foolishness, in the sky at that time, the two moons hung in the night, showing dead silver and mad red.

Ignorant mortals worship it as a god and eventually suffer calamity, and the tribes that worship the Red Moon are physically deformed and turned into manic monsters, abandoned by the earth and unable to digest food crops.

The tribes that worship the Silver Moon are out of control, and they will manipulate the power of the curse to bring everything around them to the silence of death. ’

Ronan looked up, and the two moons hanging in the sky were both showing a normal bright yellow.

In the introduction of the church, it is their god who separates the power of the red and silver moons and protects the creatures on the ground.

"So the vampire's power comes from the Red Moon, which has weakened after being isolated?" Ronan somewhat understood, "Attracting the attention of special beings, they charge the eye of the moonstone, this is to pull the red moon back above their heads." ”

After knowing some of the mysteries of this world, it also brought him more unknowns.

Ronan put his things away, took a deep breath, and steadied himself.

The truth behind it has nothing to do with him at the moment, and his current mission is to take control of Blackstone City into his own hands.

Ronan put away his mask and robes, put them back in the inn, and woke up all the attendants.

"White, you go and call Rudolph, the deputy commander of the city defense army, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."

That was Ronan met at the noon banquet through his eldest son, Knight Bourne.

He was responsible for managing half of the city's defenses and was an important figure in ensuring the city's stability.

Rudolph was not from the Péx family and did not live in the castle, which was not far from here.

Therefore, he quickly rushed here with his soldiers, with a slight unswerving face.

Anyone who is called out of the warm bed in the middle of the night will be unhappy.

"Baron Ronan, the important things in your mouth are better really important."

"Of course, Commander Rudolph." Ronan nodded at him, "But this is something that needs to be talked to by the two of us alone, come with me." ”

Looking at Ronan walking in front of him, looking at his slender figure, Rudolph decided to believe him for once.

He ordered his men to stay where they were, and followed.

"What the hell is going on? My wife is still waiting for me under the covers. After walking for a while, Rudolph was a little impatient.

"Here it is." Ronan said to him.

Looking at the hideous huge dried corpse under his feet, Rudolph's pupils constricted in disbelief, "This is, this is a vampire!" Damn, how could there be such a monster in Black Rock City! ”

After he had calmed down, Ronan spoke to him, "It doesn't matter, what matters is that it's dead, isn't it?" Death before us. ”

"Uh, what do you mean?" Looking at the unmoved young man standing next to the monster in front of him, he unconsciously used honorifics.

"This vampire who infiltrated Blackstone City is undoubtedly evil, but he was killed here, and the people who protect the city have always been the city guards, such as Rudolph."

Rudolph, who understood what he meant, moved his throat, and he understood what the other party meant.

The credit for killing a vampire was too great to raise him from the status of an honorary knight to a baron.

At that time, he will be called from Rudolph to Sir Rudolph!

"W-that's not good, is it?" As he spoke, he had already taken Ronan's hand with an unstoppable longing in his eyes.

"Of course, no problem, you have been guarding the city, and I'm sure no one will doubt you." Ronan tapped him on the shoulder in clear terms of encouragement.

On the street, where there were only two people, his eyes were full of gratitude and impatience, and no other emotions arose.

Ronan put down the feathers he was fiddling with, in a good mood.

"Not only that, but the mercenaries here are mixed up with this vampire, I'm afraid there are also problems, you'd better bring someone to arrest them all immediately."

The smile on Rudolph's face couldn't stop blooming, and he didn't even bother to care about the mercenary fainting, just thinking that these drunkards were crazy.

Hurriedly called all his soldiers and tied them up.

"I have to say that your soldiers are really well-trained." Ronan stood beside him and chatted with each other, "It seems to me that when the Knight of Bourne inherits the title and leaves, with this merit you are qualified to become the president of the city defense army." ”

Hearing his words, Rudolph's smiling face froze for a moment, and his emotions were no longer so high.

After coughing dryly a few times, he could not resist the desire to talk in his heart, and spoke:

"I'm afraid it's impossible, the position of the president has always been held by someone from the Pex family, and after Chief Bourne leaves, he will arrange someone to take over."

"Can't even take credit for your work?" Ronan sighed, "If I were to run Black Rock City, I would definitely make you the president here." ”

Looking at his sincere eyes, Rudolph, who was understanding, was greatly moved, and thought to himself if only it were like that.

In addition to this, Ronan's eyes were looking at another place.

Through the crow's constant attention to the situation in the Pex family's castle, Ronan thought that the matter was almost over there, and it was time for him to go to the end.
