Luke looked up and saw an old man standing at the intersection of the cross in the sky. It was he who said these words.
As he spoke, the prayers of the crowd below became louder, echoing throughout the hall.
The blue light of the surrounding line pattern is brighter.
The person standing under the pattern of eight lines began to tremble all over. A blood-red mist emerged from his body and floated towards the cross above.
Luke laughed, and reached under his cloak behind him and pulled out two smoke bombs with the safety pins removed.
One was thrown at the statue at the tree roots below, and the other was thrown at the figure in the air.
Bang! Bang!
A strong gust of air with a strong smell of garlic filled the entire hall.
Without waiting for these people to react, he reached behind his back with both hands again, and when he returned to his front, a special crossbow was raised.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Eight black shadows formed a fan shape and shot towards the eight people under the string of symbols.
The last crossbow arrow flew towards the old man at the cross above.
The eight people standing under the line pattern suddenly screamed as they were hit by crossbow arrows one by one. The wounded parts swelled like balloons and then quickly spread throughout the body.
In less than ten seconds, the eight people burst with a hissing sound, like a balloon that had been filled with too much water. Dirty blood splattered all over the ground, and then quickly turned into bright sparks and burned to ashes.
The old man in the center of the cross on the ceiling suddenly raised his hand and waved it, firing the crossbow arrow at his chest, and screamed, "No, no!"
As the eight people below exploded on the spot, the eight columns of symbols that were originally lit up all dimmed, like a machine that had lost power.
The blood in the grooves of the lines spilled out and turned into ashes in mid-air.
Luke, however, looked at the old man above with interest.
When he came in, he saw the old man's face clearly. It was Sheldon Esworth, the current head of the Esworth family.
This was very different from Luke's previous guess.
Elsworth was not the stooge of the vampires as he thought. Their supreme leader Sheldon was a vampire himself.
That's not the point.
The key point is that more than half of the eight people he killed had the last name of Esworth, and after he came in, Sheldon's facial appearance had changed from being in his sixties at the beginning to being in his thirties.
His short and skinny body was constantly growing taller and stronger.
But this process of rejuvenation was interrupted.
As soon as the eight people below died, the light of the symbol string disappeared, and Sheldon's changes stopped immediately.
Uh! Speaking of which, could it be that I have destroyed the Blood God? He muttered to himself.
He is quite wary of this thing, but not too afraid of it.
He also interrogated and extracted a lot of information about vampires. From what these people knew, the Blood God was not some indescribable "god".
It's just a description of a perfect state in vampire legend.
Vampires in this blood god state will no longer be afraid of sunlight, silver weapons, and concentrated garlic essence, and their speed and strength will be greatly enhanced.
From these descriptions, it can be seen that the main function of this blood god state is to make up for the weaknesses of vampires, but it does not mention how it is strengthened. It is only described as being as powerful as the ancestor of vampires.
However, none of the vampires and servants that Luke had tortured knew how powerful this vampire ancestor was.
Luke didn't care much about this statement.
Even vampires were transformed from humans, and they share the same bad habits as humans, such as vanity and bragging.
But out of his cautious nature, he interrupted the sacrificial process as soon as he came in.
It doesn’t matter whether he is the Blood God or not, but the dead Sheldon must be the best Sheldon.
With his mind racing, Luke stuffed the crossbow in his hand into his cloak and put it back into the storage space.
From the cross above, the furious Sheldon jumped down and pounced on him viciously.
The corners of Luke's mouth curled up under the mask: Why do these vampires like to fly in the air? This old immortal Sheldon doesn't look like he can fly!
When Sheldon pounced on him, Luke suddenly turned sideways, and his wide cloak covered most of his body.
Sheldon felt a black screen in front of his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his cheek, and his body posture changed from diving down to flying sideways.
boom!
Sheldon had half of his body wedged into the large tree root in the center of the rotunda.
Luke had just used an irregular move similar to the Capola war dance, combined with some techniques of the Chinese skirt-under-legs move, using his cloak to conceal the movement of his body. He took advantage of the momentum to raise his leg and swung it half a circle, then slapped Sheldon in the face with his big foot with an alloy lining.
At the same time Sheldon was blown away, Luke also resumed his slightly forward leaning standing posture, exerted force with his feet, and chased after him.
He grabbed Sheldon's legs, who was just struggling outside the tree roots, pulled him out, swung him in a circle and smashed him to the ground.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Amid a series of explosions, Luke copied the process of killing the female vampire in Slovakia, picked up Sheldon and smashed him hard.
Looking at Sheldon with a pile of mud in his hands, he shook his head in his heart: This old guy is just a weakling.
Apart from being relatively resistant to being hit, her fighting skills, combat experience, and reaction speed are all nonexistent. She is even inferior to the female vampire from Slovakia.
Thinking of this, he pulled out the bat dart from his waist and slashed it towards Sheldon's neck.
Phew!
Sheldon's head fell off.
Luke narrowed his eyes.
I saw a stream of sticky blood spurting out from Sheldon's neck, but it did not disperse. Instead, it condensed into a stream connecting his head and neck.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Sheldon's fallen head was pulled back to his neck by the column of blood, leaving only a slight scar with sparks.
Sheldon cried out in pain.
Luke's left arm holding the bat dart suddenly turned into a shadow and cut Sheldon's body frantically.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
There was a series of sounds of flesh being cut, and seven or eight bloody marks appeared on Sheldon's upper body. He fell like a broken doll.
But the blood in his body condensed into a blood column again, gluing these bodies together again.
Except for screaming louder, Sheldon did not die.
Looking at the wounds, as soon as the flickering flames disappeared, the wounds began to heal quickly, and Luke was thoughtful.
His bat darts have a layer of silver on the blade, specifically for targeting vampires.
An ordinary vampire would most likely die if cut by a bat dart like this, but when it hit Sheldon, it only slowed down the recovery of his wound.
From this point of view, Sheldon seemed to have really acquired some of the characteristics of the Blood God state. He was no longer afraid of silver weapons, and ordinary cold weapon attacks were basically ineffective.
After being beaten up, Sheldon finally understood one thing: he should not compete with Batman in close combat ability.
