Chapter 50: The Zealots and the Wealth Seekers
The black castle towers like a mountain, and a crescent moon hangs like an ornament on the east tower of the castle.
If you look at the castle from a position four miles away, the castle will never block the moon from any angle, and the position of the moon facing the gate is particularly special when viewed from here, and the whole process of the moon rising in the east and setting in the west is just in contact with the castle, as if it were part of the castle.
Ligeret was standing in this position, gritting her teeth in anger as she watched the dark clouds that dominated the castle.
While the castle was still hers, there would never be anything that could block the moon from being allowed there.
The Black Castle looks a little plain in addition to the solemnity brought by the solid color, which is not a problem when she still owns the castle, the reason why she wants to build this castle with her own hands is for a reason, every brick and tile of the castle is literally mixed with her flesh and blood, as long as she wants to drape the whole castle with blood at any time, it is not a problem at all to form various bright red patterns and liveries.
But now, Castle Black has been almost completely impregnated by the demonic power of the dove occupying the magpie's nest, but this is not the most unacceptable place for her.
The most unacceptable thing is that the black castle occupied by demonic power looks different in the moonlight!
Oh, why does that faint lava feel seem appropriate, it shouldn't look appropriate......
Lijielit, who was in a terrible mood, couldn't wait any longer, and flew into the air, not with the help of a spell to transmit sound, but with a huge volume that could be physically transmitted throughout the entire castle, shouting: "The master here is back!
Just because of hearing her voice, the castle had already begun to resist the demonic power, blood and lava flowed on the mountain city at the same time, and several screams were faintly heard from the castle.
In order to prevent Lijliet from secretly rescuing the hostages, the vampires arranged other vampires who were useless in the battle against her in various parts of the castle, even if they could only serve as an alarm, at this moment, in the conflict between the power of blood and the power of the demons she left in the castle, I don't know how many less powerful vampires turned into ashes in an instant.
Of course, this danger will not only be aimed at the vampires in the castle, but the four-way rescue team can only wait outside the castle at this time, and only when the demon leaves the castle and the opportunity to sneak in to rescue will appear.
A vampire who perfectly fits the legend of mankind, and who is somewhat deliberate, flew out of the castle and said to Lijielit: "Honorable Grand Duchess, don't you worry about the safety of the villagers?"
Ligeret sneered, "Catala, aren't you going to turn into a bat this time?"
Catalo the vampire held back his embarrassment and said, "You don't need to be polite, please let us get to the point." ”
"Butt the question, you're trying to say that they all died just now? Then I don't have to come here, I'm leaving?"
Anyway, I really turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait!"
Catalo knew she couldn't really walk away like this, but at the moment he didn't even dare to bet on the 1 in 10,000 chance.
A round of moonlight appeared in his hand, and finally turned into a mirror, revealing the appearance of the captive villagers.
Before they could make sure they could get her to cooperate, it was up to the vampires to find a way to protect the villagers, even if they knew that Lijliet had deliberately caused a clash of power.
The Grand Duke's way of settling accounts was unusual, and they could not afford to take such a risk.
Lijielit confirmed that it was not a pre-recorded image, and nodded: "Okay, for the sake of the more than ten years I owe Jieli, I'll give you a chance to catch me, do it." ”
Catalo opened his mouth and persuaded: "Honorable Grand Duchess, you obviously don't care about the future of the blood clan, why do you want to be stingy with this mere hundreds of years?"
"If it is true as the prophecy says, then I have only a thousand years left to live, how can I waste this precious time on meaningless things?"
"It's not without meaning......"
"Okay! Who can understand my power better than me? You won't listen anyway, if you want me to cooperate, you can fight, and don't talk there!"
Lijlitt likes to think from other people's perspectives, including vampires, or bloodborns.
She understood what they had done to avoid the prophecy of extinction, but she would never allow these people to study themselves sane for hundreds of years, not only because she didn't feel the need to make such a sacrifice, but also because it didn't make any sense.
She had already told the other vampires the reason for her strength, because they wouldn't believe her and even generously allowed them to study her body while she was sleeping, but the vampires just couldn't accept it.
Whether it's the ability to walk in sunlight and be immune to the Light, or the ability to defeat any vampire at night, it all comes from a simple fact.
Lijliet has complete control over every particle in her body.
She knew she could do it, but she forgot how she did it.
Lijliet vaguely remembered that she had been a lowliest, only slightly better than a blood slave, that she had not experienced a single promotion, and that she certainly did not have any titles, and her clearest memory was that she had woken up in the ruins, and that she had only two things in her mind.
One thing was that she had planned to work her transformation abilities as a vampire.
The other thing was that she was in a coma because she had completely stopped her body and soul, so that the blood no longer flowed, the magic no longer flowed, there was no more electrical flow between the nerves, and the soul became a solid gel - should this state really be called simply a coma? She didn't know.
She didn't know how long it had lasted, because she barely remembered anything before that, didn't know why she had fallen into that stagnation, and didn't even know how she got out of it.
Ligeret wasn't immune to sunlight and light, she was just holding her body back, not allowing herself to be harmed by them.
As a result, she would be weakened by the sunlight and would feel sick in the light, because her mental power was under a great burden in such a situation, and because of this, she was unable to show her true superiority against other vampires during the day.
The reason why she can defeat any vampire at night is because of the characteristics of the vampire race: all vampires are equivalent to the children of the ancestors, and high-level vampires have almost absolute command over low-level vampires, and if they have a blood relationship, this ability to control the lower level will become stronger.
When this blood relationship is applied to Lijielit, it has the exact opposite effect.
She can control the blood of other vampires to a certain extent, just as she controls her own body.
Because she was originally the lowest-level vampire, her ability to control would initially only affect other vampires as low-level as her, but as she inevitably rose through the ranks, the scope of her control became larger and larger.
Even Catalo, the closest vampire to the Ancestor, did not dare to cast blood magic in front of her, and as a legendary spellcaster, he even had to chant to ensure stability when facing Lijielit, because she could directly affect the movement of blood and qi in his body, making his power on the verge of getting out of control at any time.
Of course, Ligerlit wouldn't sit idly by and watch him finish casting spells, and after instantly casting more than a dozen flesh-enhancing spells on herself, she adopted the most effective way to fight against vampires.
Close quarters beating.
Catalo couldn't help but look pained just because Ligilette approached him with hostility, but he was also relieved: the need for enhanced magic meant that she hadn't regained her true strength, and she had restrained herself for strange reasons.
As long as they don't let their blood be sucked away by her because of their carelessness, then the Blood Clan still has a chance to win!
Catalo distanced himself from Lizzellytra with the repulsive magic of his night dress, and then cast an ungraceful Corruption with a twisted expression.
Ligeret looked disgusted and dodged the rotten green light, "What about your nobility?
"For the life and death of my clan, why worry about small things!"
Of the three groups of adventurers that Lijielit found, the first group was the most special.
This group is full of fanatics of the God of Light.
Not just a fanatics, but a fanatic who sacrificed everything to rid him of God's enemies.
It wasn't Lijliet who found them, but they found one of the many people who Lijliet had manipulated with her control of Sken.
In order to find the available adventurers as soon as possible, Lijielit adopted the method of "casting a wide net", and the people she met along the way were charmed if they could, and if they couldn't be simply charmed, they used the "black worms" composed of their own cells to bury them in the body to directly control them, and let the "black worms" absorb the blood of those people to replicate themselves, and then let these people charm and control more people.
In the process of her viral increase in the number of people she manipulates, a fanatic discovers something strange in the city.
Of course, he had wanted to rid him of this strange plague at first, and for Ligeret the same person, he was nothing but a nuisance, but in the process of controlling the escape of the man parasitized by the black worm, she saw that the fanatic had used the tracking technique created by the vampire hunter Van Helsing.
So she took the initiative to contact him and got their help without any problems.
In order to ensure the fulfillment of the prophecy of Vampire extinction, these fanatics related to Van Helsing are willing to give everything.
The batch of elemental stones given to them was not a deposit, but a fund for them to further arm themselves.
Of the four rescue teams, including Skeng and Rot's, only this one didn't have to wait for news from Lijielet.
The moment they attack is when they can't stand it anymore.
Although Ligeret had suggested that they should wait until the demons were out of the city, the leader of the Zealots raised his hammer shortly after the battle began at the main entrance, and the black worms that had been buried to hide the power of light from them left their bodies without hesitation.
Their "infiltration" ended at this moment.
In an instant, it was as bright as day under the tower on the west side of the castle!
The huge light war hammer smashed down half of the tower, and even if she was mentally prepared, Lijielit couldn't help but cry out in pain: "It took me a year to build that tower!"
Catala, who had thought it was Ligerett's arrangement, couldn't help but wonder if it might really be a coincidence.
"It's all your fault! you pay me for the castle!" the grief-stricken Ligilette opened her right hand, and a blood-colored vortex was generated on her hand, and even through the protective enchantment on the cloak, Catalo could feel the blood in his body being pulled by the vortex.
But fortunately, I can hold on for a while.
Just as he was thinking this, dozens of black worms crashed into his protective barrier, and three of them actually managed to break through and burrow into his body!
"Blood Touch!" Catalo let out a terrified scream, "when did you release them!?"
A vampire archduke dressed in red and black armor appeared on the battlefield in an instant, distorting the entire space with a single sword, creating an opportunity for Catalo to escape back to the castle.
Ligeret clenched her right fist, the blood-colored swirls turning into thorns wrapped around the fist, and then she punched the spatial distortion back to its original type.
"I said they should be called Black Worms!, don't just give my moves such shameful names, okay?" shouted Ligillet, not forcibly chasing Catalo.
"Okay, you ...... Uh, who are you?" Lijliet found herself unrecognizable to the person in front of her.
The wordless legendary warrior simply raised the sword in his hand again.
The real purpose of the second group of adventurers that Ligeret found was actually the treasure in the castle.
The castle originally belonged to the vampire Lijlit, but was later overrun by demons.
Not only that, but now almost all powerful vampires have gathered in this castle.
This makes the castle the most dangerous cave in the world, but it also makes it the largest treasure trove in the world.
In addition to the treasures of the two masters, the other vampires who come here will definitely bring their most precious treasures, after all, each of them may not be able to leave this place.
Lijliet knew what these people were really for, but she didn't care.
Even if these people weren't going to rescue the villagers, they would at least be able to help attract some attention - there was a real red dragon in one of these adventurers!
All Ligilet needed to do was show them a relatively easy path.
The red dragon, who was almost spitting flames from his mouth and nose out of greed, could no longer hold back the moment he saw the west tower collapse, and beckoned his "companions" and said, "Let's go in now!"
"Now?, but she didn't mean ......."
"Hah, are you really going to save people, why do we need to follow her plan?"
The sleepy little bat squatting on Roth's shoulder suddenly woke up and said to him, "I'm sorry, two of those three groups of people acted on their own!"
Sken nervously said, "So, what are we going to do, master?"
"Don't do anything, you better wait for my news, I'll just tell you. After saying this, the little bat yawned and returned to his sleepy state.
Sken couldn't help but let out a reluctant moan, but he didn't dare to do anything.
The black bugs kept copying themselves inside him, and he didn't know what had become of his body now, and the result of giving up out of despair was that he began to call Lijlitt master.
Roth's breathing couldn't help but become a little short.
He didn't know if such an accident had happened in the original past.
He didn't know if this would be the Illusion's countermeasure to make [Jieli's vampire] happen.
There was still a glimmer of hope in Rot's heart, although picking any one of the vampires and demons in the castle would make his efforts go to waste, but it wasn't violent to get Jieli to give up being a vampire, maybe it was the same at the moment......
Sure enough, it's too optimistic......
——
"Then you're not your average optimist!"
In the vortex of blood and darkness, the real Lijielit watched Roth's illusion as she played with the pieces of flesh that were already under her control.
"It's all come to this point, and I still have a fluke mentality...... However, the strength of the countermeasures of the Realm of Vanity is indeed related to the strength of the people who are trying to change the past, and this Roth's words to stop him are estimated to be at the level of Kosei, although he definitely can't beat it. And people who have had an experience and legendary powerhouses can't even enter, they can't do what they can do, they can't do what they can do, what kind of magic breaking magic is this!Alas, it would be nice if people were allowed to come a few more times! Let a group of people who meet for the first time come, and it feels like a few are in vain~~"
She shook her head helplessly and turned her gaze to the piece of meat in her hand.
After thousands of years after the First World War in the castle, she is still alive after experiencing the appearance of the true god and the erosion of filth, and her ability to control her blood has reached a higher level, even if it is other people's blood, she can directly control it as freely as her own, of course, provided that the opponent's strength is not too high.
To be honest, she has some chicken ribs, and she can kill people who are not strong even if she can't directly control their blood, but she really has nothing else to do in the past thousand years.
And the reason why those pieces of flesh caught her interest was because there was no trace of supernatural power on them, but they still made her uncontrollable.
If it weren't for the fact that she had been consuming her own flesh and qi for hundreds of years to fight against the erosion of filth, making her control over her blood and qi a lot stronger unconsciously, she might not have been able to get these pieces of flesh that she didn't even have a mind.
The pieces of flesh that grew on Lot's body, which were invisible to ordinary people, were almost used up by her, and now only the blood stains that had been splashed on Rot's body were left, and these pieces of flesh seemed to grow out of thin air from these blood stains, and Lot himself was not damaged at all because of these pieces of flesh.
But Lijliet instinctively sensed malice from the ever-growing flesh.
"It seems that I am thinking too much to expect him to change his illusion...... At least he gave me a little new fun, and that would be enough. Lijliet muttered to herself.
And in a place where even the owner of the illusion couldn't sense it, a gray sword aura was flying straight from beyond the void.
