Chapter 51: The Demon Strikes and Fights Kosher Again
It's only been an hour since the battle began, and Ligeret has already met with all the vampire archdukes.
When Catalo, who had regained his steady, reappeared, Ligilet began to get a little impatient.
"Why don't you let that demon out, what's the point of delaying time like this!"
Not only was the time-wasting wheel war, but also the current state of her castle, where the unscrupulous attacks of the Light fanatics had completely destroyed the castle's western tower!
She was uncomfortable at the thought that after she regained the castle, even if she had one experience, it might take more than half a year to repair it again.
"You don't care about it, you legends, you can't be so rampant with one of those fanatics of the god of light!" she said, pointing to the other side in exasperation.
Catalo replied almost respectfully: "In the face of you, each of us can only hold out for a few minutes, otherwise the blood in our bodies will start to get out of control, this way of fighting is really embarrassing for us, but we can only put down our pride for the sake of the blood clan." β
"Hey, the blood clan in your mouth is constantly being slaughtered by those fanatics!"
Catalo shook his head and said, "You are serious, the casualties may be large, but those fanatics will eventually fail, after all, we are more numerous." As long as the bloodline can continue, new offspring can always be recreated. β
Lijielit said helplessly: "I won't ask you what the point of delaying time like this is, you will definitely not tell me, I will not ask you why you believe so much that I am the last hope of a vampire, it has come to this point, it is useless for me to persuade you not to believe it, but ah, even if I am really the so-called last hope, there are many different explanations, right? Why do you have to arrest me for research?"
She asked.
"So what do you think is the most likely explanation?" Catalo threw the question back.
β...... When the time of extinction comes, you will die, and I will live, and as long as there is one vampire alive, then this race will not be extinct. β
Ligeret didn't hide her thoughts.
"Your virtue of honesty has always been admirable. Catalo bowed, "Although we hate to admit it, we also think that this is the most likely way to fulfill the prophecy." So in order to keep more of the Bloodline alive, we can only find a way to find out the secrets on you. β
"It's been for a long time, it's still for yourself!, let's make it clear earlier, and put on a hat for the blood clan for yourself, it seems to be amazing!" Ligeret said disdainfully.
Catalo asked, "So will you spread as many of your descendants as possible in the future in order to revitalize the bloodline?"
"I'm not going to be like you guys, right?"
"I know, and I understand your choice. But we must also work for the revitalization of the Bloodline, and I hope you understand. β
Lijlitt gave up on persuasion, threatening, "You don't think that tonight will make a difference, do you? Even if that group of fanatics dies, I can find other helpers, and in the end, either I succeed in rescuing the villagers, or you can't stand it." Although the latter will make me a large debt, I am different from you, I have time to pay it off. Fight me, you have no chance of winning!It's better to leave it like this, I'll hold you archdukes, let those fanatics consume those weaker vampires, and when they're all dead, I'll leave and find another group of people, and sooner or later I will consume you bastards!"
Catalo sighed: "I wish it had been a little longer...... But since you're planning to do so, there's no other way. Don't worry, honorable Grand Duchess, everything will end tonight. β
Then all the vampire archdukes appeared in the night.
There are strange swordsmen in armor.
There is a shy aristocratic lady dressed as a lady.
There are martial arts factions with a variety of weapons on their backs and spears in their hands.
There is an elegant young man dressed in a scarlet swordsman suit and holding a red stabbing sword.
There are strange mages who wear masks and cover their bodies with cloaks, and they are covered with cold air.
There are even returning vampire leaders with a bare upper body, a wolf body on the lower body, huge bat wings behind him, and a green face and fangs, who are noble with their wild nature.
"Giving up on yourself?" Lijliet scoffed, "or do you think you can beat me in a few minutes?"
Before the words fell, the entire Black Castle suddenly felt as if it had fallen into hell.
It was as if the entire area had been reduced to a volcanic crater, boiling magma gushing out of the ground, and everything but the part of the land that was on the underground spiritual veins was engulfed in sulfur-colored flames.
The night sky was scorched with flames, and the moon was burned to the ground, leaving only a cavity of lava gushing out, from which countless low-level demons jumped out of it with joy, ecstatic to come into this world.
Eight strangely twisted threads appeared in the air, each with its end attached to one of the vampires present, seven shorter and one longer, and Lizzelli took a closer look to realize that the longest line connected to her was actually made up of her own apparition!
She soon realized that the line was the trajectory she had traversed during the hour-long battle.
She stepped back an inch, and sure enough, the self she had seen a second before appeared in front of her as part of the line.
Even she couldn't help but be a little flustered.
"Which demon lord did you cooperate with!"
However, even Catalo, who was the most talkative, did not answer her, and the seven vampire archdukes seemed to be reduced to sculptures, motionless.
"I didn't really believe what these vampires were saying...... I didn't expect that an existence like you would live in this world in obscurity for so long. β
A slender orange giant hand appeared in the air, grasping all seven vampire archdukes frozen in the air, and the seven threads connecting them were also pulled.
These lines are made up of their past, and because of the confrontation between Lijielit and these seven vampires in the previous hour, her line has many intersections with these seven lines, and when the giant hand pulls at the seven archdukes, Lijielit also feels an irresistible force pulling her!
"How dangerous is it for a vampire who has mastered his [now] to be undetected by us...... But how lucky, if you have malicious intentions towards this world, the impending disaster may be ahead of time......"
It's very similar to being attacked by a space-time spell, but it's not at the same level at all, and even though Lijielit tried to escape, she was [already] caught.
The thread that connected her was constantly sucked into the giant palm, tugging at her as she approached the demon's palm, but she didn't panic.
It doesn't matter if [already] falls into the hands of the enemy, as long as [now] resists!
Her mutton-fat skin was torn apart by her own power, and the flesh turned out formed a scarlet magic array, and with explosive power she rushed into the air, leaving behind her an illusion of herself.
"You can even make a spatial resistance...... I didn't expect that an hour might not be enough to subdue you. β
The bat on Roth's shoulder shouted: "It's not good! It's not good! I've got to find a way to escape, you guys hurry up for me!"
The last time I heard her scream was when I woke up and ate zombies for my first meal, and Roth knew it was the moment of truth.
"Mr. Sken, you'll be able to teleport once you're in Castle Black, right?" Roth confirmed.
"That's right, the time and space inside and outside that black castle are not continuous, and it is impossible to directly use teleportation spells to enter it. You must enter the castle first, teleport to the villagers, teleport them to the exit, and take them out before you can get them to safety...... Mr. Roth, there are three teleportations in total, and no matter how you think about it, you can't succeed. I can't resist, but what are you for?" Skeng couldn't understand Roth's behavior, "It's too late to quit now, and you can't do anything with your strength, right?"
Roth looked at the mage who had no reason to care about him, and wondered, "Is this what Mr. Sken would really say in the past, or is this illusion something borrowed from your mouth?"
ββ
"Wow, the third group of adventurers should have almost succeeded in rescuing the villagers, why did they all die directly this time. β
The third group of adventurers that Lijlitt found back then were the kind of people who would complete the task no matter what, and they were rare people with a dedicated heart.
In the original past, they were only one step away from rescuing the villagers before Jieli, and finally successfully completed the retreat when they found that nothing could be done, although their hard power could not be compared to that of the fanatics and the wealth seekers who mixed in with a red dragon, their skills as adventurers were still very much appreciated by Lijielit.
The reason why Jieli was able to succeed was because she had considerable authority in the castle built by Lijielit as the heir of Lijielit, and when the demon who occupied the castle used all her strength to deal with Lijielit, she was no different from the owner of the castle.
As for the mage Sken, as he himself said, he was sent in as a decoy in the original past, and he would let Roth go all the way with him in Roth's illusion, which was a test or countermeasure for those who wanted to change the past.
As long as Lot can't save the villagers, Jieli must become a vampire, even if it's just an illusion, and the past will not allow herself to be easily changed.
Whether it is a fanatic or a wealth seeker, it is completely impossible to really save people, at most it can only create chaos, and the only group that can become Roth's help was directly forcibly wiped out, it can only be said that the countermeasures of this illusion are somewhat unusual.
ββ
Sken didn't react to Roth's question, he wasn't surprised or puzzled, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Roth didn't ask anything more, he didn't really think that there would be a whole consciousness in this illusion, he was just trying to test it.
Although the earth was covered in magma at this time, the original owner of the castle had already planned a route for them, and the low-level demons who had crawled out of the lecture were also distracted by the light god fanatics on the west side of the castle, and they entered the castle without danger near the underground passage on the north side of the black castle.
Just as Roth began to wonder how smoothly it had gone in infiltrating the castle, a purple demon fire dispelled his doubts.
After changing the trajectory of the purple fire with a long knife, Roth couldn't immediately recognize who the half-burnt vampire who attacked him was until he heard his voice.
"Damn human, your vision of the future is already dull!"
"Kosei, it's the best fit for you, but what's the matter with your burn?" asked Roth.
"Thanks to your knife, I was forced to fly in the morning sun for a few minutes! I'll give you a taste of burnt today!" Kosey roared, releasing three Purple Flame Serpents in his hands.
Roth took a step forward to the left, in order to track the three fire snakes that he originally rushed in parallel because of the turn, there was a difference in order, and Roth, who was unable to deal with three at the same time, successfully took advantage of the opportunity he created, and used the internal force on the long knife to disrupt the spiritual power guidance in the three fire snakes one after another.
But as he did this, Kosher had finished his next chant, and a huge purple fireball appeared in the narrow underground passage.
"Oh, damn it, Sken, can you do me a favor?"
However, Roth did not receive any response, and the mage had already teleported away.
"Haha! Are you doing a burlesque? Don't you see a future where you are abandoned by your companions!" Kosher scoffed, "You are killing yourself when you enter this passage!
Roth moved his shoulders and said, "If I had a future." β
"What are you talking about......"
"We haven't had a few rounds of fighting, have we? How can you be so sure that I must have a future?"
Koseige said angrily: "Several of my raids have failed because of you, what explanation can there be other than future vision!"
"Yes, your stealth effect like the armor called the Night Veil is not as good as you think, and for example, I just judged from experience that you would attack Lijielit when Jieli released the Holy Light, doesn't that make sense? That's not a clever word, is it? Lijielit just let you make your own conclusions, but everything else is prepared for you, she is the one who induces you to think like that!" Roth sneered, "Look at the way I look now, you know, right?" I didn't expect you to be here, nor did I expect my companions to abandon me, and now I'm in the dilemma of facing a big fireball in a narrow passage...... Your previous ambush failed only because you were stupid, and even if you were going to die, I would have to say it!"
"Shut up, you stupid mortal!" Kosher lost control of his emotions and angrily unleashed the fireball in his hand, and the flames filled the entire passage, and there was no way to avoid it.
But spells are a delicate technique.
If a warrior can rely on instinct and muscle memory to maintain his fighting skills in a rage, then a mage can get nothing but flaws in his spells if he loses control of his emotions.
Roth stood on the left side of the passage, and Kosei, who was furious, couldn't help but distribute more spiritual power there, which made the flames on the left side more ferocious and deadly, and at the same time made the flames on the right side of the passage completely spiritual, like ordinary fire.
The flames that covered the entire passage also obscured the caster's own vision, preventing him from reacting.
It was too late when Roth rushed to Kosher from the right side of the passage in flames, and when he calmed down and realized his mistake.
Kosei's body, which had been deeply slashed by the long knife, turned into mist and fled in a hurry.
But it's hardly a good move.
Normal vampires are vulnerable to energy-based attacks when turned into mist.
Roth took a step forward in his grip on the knife, and shouted loudly under the traction of the qi engine, and the internal force erupted from the tip of the knife.
This time he directly knocked Kosie back into his human form, and the blood and qi in his body floated.
Roth sighed: "It seems that my strength is really different from you, even if I have seized such an opportunity, I can only be injured but not killed." β
"You're trying to say that I'm useless to be forced into this way by you, who is very weak and has no future vision?"
"Why are you yelling so loudly, I didn't say that. Roth comforted him seriously, "Don't be so inferior, aren't you a noble blood clan, be confident!"
"You...... You want me to continue to lose control of my emotions so that I can show more flaws...... Phew, hehehe, stupid, you're talking too much!" Kosei, who was repeatedly stimulated by Roth, calmed down, and purple flames enveloped his body, and then he disappeared from Roth's vision.
Rot's first instinct was to slash all over his body with a long knife, and even if his opponent didn't plan to attack him immediately, spreading his internal power in this way would help him find out where his opponent was hiding.
But just as his body had stopped Kosei's attack before he could consciousness when Jieli released the light, his consciousness slowed down his body one step again.
The long knife circled around the body at the faster speed that Roth expected, but the internal force on the knife was always condensed, he raised the knife and raised his eyebrows, and then suddenly strode to the left!
"You liar!" Ko Xie narrowly avoided the knife, and the purple evil snake with condensed magic power in his hand helplessly missed.
At this time, Roth, who realized that his body had already done this, did not hesitate to activate a section of internal force stored in the long knife in advance, and exerted another force at the end of the qi, and this time the long knife completely tore Kosei's body!
Cut in half, Kosher still cursed unwillingly: "Despicable human, maggots in the dung pit!
Roth shook his right hand, which was numb from the shock of the long knife, "I don't know what this is all about, but I'm sure I didn't see anything, and I can assure you...... Sure enough, vampires don't die like this, but I don't have time to waste on a guy who has lost his combat power. β
"What did you say? You didn't humiliate me enough, you ......" Looking at Roth, who really planned to leave him alone, Kosey was furious, but in the middle of his words, he suddenly calmed down, as if all emotions disappeared in an instant.
"You think that's the end of it?"
Roth, who didn't plan to turn back, stopped because of this sentence.
"I'm not that naΓ―ve, but if it's only to that extent, then it's not a big deal to change the past. β
