Elves?!
The middle-aged knight was slightly stunned.
When he noticed the other party's iconic red hair and the faintly powerful aura he exuded, his expression quickly became serious:
"Scarlet Blade... Sebastian!"
The red-haired elf paused slightly, and his expression seemed a little unnatural when he heard the title.
The smile on his face faded a lot, and he took a step forward gracefully.
The next second, his entire figure disappeared instantly.
"Miss, stand back!"
The middle-aged knight's heart trembled and he shouted loudly.
He subconsciously raised his sword to block, and as soon as he raised the sword, he felt a huge force coming from between his hands.
"Bang!"
A burning flaming sword appeared out of nowhere and directly knocked the long sword in the middle-aged knight's hand away, and at the other end of the long sword was the reappearing red-haired elf.
The middle-aged knight roared angrily, and a dazzling silver light burst out from his body.
The release of source power is the sign of the second stage of Silver Moon.
He drew out the spare dagger from his waist. Silver light spread on the dagger, revealing a sharp aura, like the stirring moonlight.
He stepped lightly on the ground, and the hills beneath his feet suddenly cracked and sank, and he rushed towards the red-haired elf like an arrow.
The two of them fought together instantly.
When the silver sword and the flaming sword intersected, a dazzling light burst out.
The terrifying source power and magic power intertwined with each other, forming a powerful energy storm that directly crushed the surrounding trees...
"Boom..."
There was a loud bang.
The girl holding the heavy book took the opportunity to retreat to a distance. She pursed her lips and watched the sudden battle nervously.
But the battle was over after the loud bang.
Under the moonlight, the dust composed of agitated sawdust and stone powder gradually dissipated, revealing the two people who had just been fighting.
The middle-aged knight still held his dagger high.
But the next second, the dagger in his hand broke into several pieces.
His whole body swayed slightly, and suddenly he spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, and then he slowly fell limp.
The middle-aged knight stuck the broken sword into the ground with great difficulty and managed to kneel on one knee. His pair of scarlet eyes looked at the red-haired elf standing in front of him in disbelief:
"You... didn't fall down?"
The red-haired elf was unharmed.
He did not answer the middle-aged knight's question, but stood there gracefully, with the flaming sword in his hand burning continuously.
He looked the knight up and down with great interest, his eyes showing a hint of surprise:
"Silver source power... Is this the Crescent Moon Sword Technique? How can you, a vampire, use the sword technique of the Crescent Moon Royal Family?"
The middle-aged knight remained silent.
He raised his head with difficulty and stared at the elegant and indifferent red-haired elf with an extremely solemn expression.
The red-haired elf chuckled and was about to say something when crazy roars suddenly came from all around.
The elf raised his eyebrows and looked around, only to see several two-meter-tall, fully armored undead holding swords high, rushing towards him with a large group of zombies...
In the slightly surprised eyes of the elf, he was instantly submerged by the tide of the undead...
"La Hiel!"
Not far away, the girl who had finished casting the spell quickly put down the heavy book, quickly came to the middle-aged knight, helped him up with a worried and anxious look on her face.
"Miss, ahem... leave me alone! Run away! We are no match for him!"
The middle-aged knight said while coughing up blood.
At the same time, a roar came from the tide of undead that overwhelmed the elves.
A crimson glow burst out, and red flames shot up into the sky, tearing all the undead that rushed up into pieces and burning them into fireballs...
And when the light faded, the elf, unharmed, reappeared in front of the two.
He was still elegant, and there was not even a wrinkle on his tuxedo.
The girl raised her head blankly, looking at the red-haired elf in disbelief, as if she were looking at a monster.
The elf smiled slightly and asked with interest:
"The power of the undead is a little weak, do you have any other means?"
As if she sensed the condescending disdain and ridicule in the other party's words, the girl's face looked a little ugly.
She gritted her teeth, opened the book again, and dripped her bright red blood onto the thick book.
The red-haired elf did not stop the girl's actions, but watched her movements with interest.
As the blood dripped, black shadows gathered on the thick book, and a dark figure appeared faintly in front of the girl.
It was a bizarre and twisted shadow, with a weathered and ancient aura.
With the appearance of the shadow, the girl's breath became noticeably weaker, as if she had paid a huge price.
"Mortal, tell me your wish!"
The dark shadow looked down at the girl holding the book, his voice extremely cold.
"Goster! Kill him! Summon the strongest undead! Kill him!"
The girl shouted, almost gritting her teeth.
After hearing the girl's words, the dark shadow turned into a deep light and went back into the book, and the book began to emit a faint light.
The next moment, several complex and mysterious blood-red magic circles appeared around the elves, and one after another, undead spirits with sharp auras slowly walked out of the magic circles.
Their armor is more complete, the fire of the dead in their eye sockets is more vigorous, and their bodies are taller.
They just roared and rushed towards the elves.
The red-haired elf remained calm.
There was a flash of light in his hand, and the crimson flaming sword instantly dissipated. Then he gracefully and gently grasped the void, and slowly pulled out a black flaming sword from the void.
Seeing the black flaming sword, the girl's expression changed drastically:
"Sword of Blasphemy!"
The elf swung his sword and the undead spirits that rushed towards him began to burn with black flames and soon turned into ashes...
Crush.
Naked crushing.
The girl gritted her teeth and bit her already healed finger again.
But before she could drip her blood onto the book in her hand, a long sword burning with black flames was placed across her neck.
"My beautiful vampire lady, didn't your elders tell you that you can't summon creatures that are one level higher than your own using the ancient book spirit?"
"Some Silver Moon Level 2 Dead Servant may cause trouble to the camp, but they are not enough for me."
The elf said slowly with a smile on his face.
After hearing what the red-haired elf said, the girl stiffened slightly.
She raised her head with a pale face and soon met a pair of amusement scarlet eyes.
The next second, she felt her body tighten, and a magic-forbidden chain tied her up tightly.
"Miss!"
The middle-aged knight shouted anxiously, but the next moment, he was also tied up with magic-forbidden chains and thrown directly next to the girl.
The girl's magic power was imprisoned, and the thick book seemed to have lost some mysterious connection, and the deep light on it was extinguished.
In the somewhat surprised eyes of the red-haired elf, the summoned undead spirits trembled slightly and suddenly turned into ashes, and the ashes turned into deep streams of light, flying from all directions and pouring into the book.
The red-haired elf looked thoughtful.
He stroked his chin and leisurely picked up the heavy book on the ground.
Seeing her book being picked up, the girl immediately glared at him, and her angry gaze seemed to want to eat the other person alive.
However, just when she thought the other party was going to open the book or put it in his arms, he suddenly turned around gracefully.
He held a book in one hand and placed the other on his chest. He bent down slightly and bowed respectfully and gracefully towards the distance.
"Great master, your loyal Sebastian has already caught these little flies behind the scenes."
Master... Master
The tied-up vampire girl and the middle-aged knight were both stunned.
They couldn't help but look in the direction where the elf was saluting, and they heard slow footsteps gradually coming from the darkness.
The clouds drifted away, and the clear moonlight shone on the hills and penetrated the dense woods.
In the darkness, a petite figure slowly walked out of the forest.
She was a girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a black and red Gothic dress that was elegant and noble, and did not fit in with the surroundings.
She had beautiful blonde hair and a pair of clear blue eyes. Her delicate and lovely appearance stunned the vampire girls who were always proud of their beauty.
However, looking at the iconic hair and childish complexion, as well as certain family crests painted on the black and red dress, the girl quickly recognized the other person's identity.
She widened her eyes, a little surprised, a little confused, and a little angry:
"You are...Castel?!"
The person who walked out of the woods was Charlotte.
She looked at the two people tied up by Sebastian curiously, narrowed her eyes and asked:
"You... know me?"
The vampire girl did not answer, but stared at her with hatred in her eyes, as if she wanted to tear her apart and eat her flesh and her blood.
Being looked at with such extremely hostile eyes, Charlotte was a little confused.
How did I attract these guys
Even the Blood Demon Cult probably doesn't know that she is the one secretly causing trouble in Bolder, right
How come someone suddenly appeared and tried to kill her
Wait, did they just say they had a grudge against Castel
Castel's enemy
And he's a vampire
Is there any secret hidden in my family that I don't know about
Charlotte frowned.
At this time, Sebastian interrupted her thoughts:
"Master, I found an interesting item on them. I'm afraid it is the key to their ability to summon the undead on a large scale. Please check it."
Charlotte's heart moved slightly and she looked at Sebastian, who handed her a thick book with both hands.
Charlotte took the book and felt it sink in her hand. It was extremely heavy.
The cover of the book was black with dark gold magic patterns painted around it, and on the cover, there was a line of strange gold-plated fonts.
Charlotte didn't recognize what the text was, but she felt that it was a bit similar to the mysterious text on the Holy Book of Blood, and might be related to it in some way.
But... she knew what the words represented, as if she knew what they meant as soon as she saw them, and she naturally knew how to read them.
Charlotte almost said it subconsciously:
"The Way of... the Dead?"
As she recited the mysterious language in a rhythmic manner, the thick book flickered slightly, and Charlotte felt a dark, corrupt and extremely aggressive force flowing towards her body along the book.
Charlotte frowned, and immediately activated the "blood-sucking" effect of the blood power, assimilating all the power that entered her body.
The next moment, she felt the book in her hand tremble slightly, and the attack stopped instantly. At the same time, it retracted all the deep light and shrank into a ball.
Faintly, she seemed to sense a kind of spiritual fear from the book.
"interesting… "
Charlotte touched the cool cover of the heavy volume with interest.
As she touched it, she felt that the agile fear seemed to be stronger.
"What is the origin of this book?"
She looked at the two vampires who were tied up.
The vampire girl continued to glare at her and did not answer.
The middle-aged knight on the side was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"If I tell you its origin, can you let us go?"
"The master is asking you questions, and you have no right to bargain. However, the great master has always been magnanimous. If you can make the master happy, perhaps... the master will consider sparing your lives."
Sebastian said with a smile.
The middle-aged knight was silent.
After a moment, he said:
"This is the holy weapon of the dead soul agent given to her by the Blood Demon Grand Duke during the vampire civil war. It is the legendary Book of the Dead... By paying a certain price to summon the book spirit of the Book of the Dead, one can summon the dead souls stored in the book."
Hearing her companion's answer, the vampire girl widened her eyes and looked at the middle-aged knight with astonishment.
However, seeing the other party's flickering eyes, she suddenly felt something in her heart and fell silent.
She is the owner of the Necronomicon.
No one knows this evil book better than she does.
To use the Book of the Dead to summon the undead, one must sign a necromancy contract, which requires a huge price to pay.
This is still for the contractors.
If a non-contractor rashly uses the Book of the Dead to summon the dead, it will only bring about an even more terrifying backlash...
Although La Hail explained the function of the Book of the Dead, he only explained half of it.
She realized that it was Lahail who was setting a trap for the other party.
There was no other reason. The number of undead she summoned in this attack was huge. The undead that were collected by the Book of the Dead after the connection was broken were only the ones closest to them.
The undead further away, especially those fighting with the Castel family's convoy, are still carrying out their final orders...
There is no doubt that the other party found them to solve this problem.
The Book of the Dead is the holy relic of the dead. Even Chi Yang cannot bear the backlash of angering the book spirit.
If we can trick them into activating the Book of the Dead, maybe... we can turn the tables.
Thinking of this, the girl lowered her eyelids and looked at Charlotte coldly.
"Book spirit?"
Charlotte thought.
She weighed the Necronomicon, gently stroked the cover, and said:
"Shu Ling, come out and see me."
Quiet…
The Book of the Dead did not respond.
Looking at the girl who was calling the book spirit directly like a mentally retarded person, the girl pursed her lips and decided to give her a push:
“You didn’t pay the price.”
"You need to provide blood essence. Only after drinking the blood essence will the book spirit be willing to..."
The girl didn't finish her words.
Because the Book of the Dead has responded.
In the somewhat dazed eyes of the middle-aged knight and the vampire girl, they saw the light of the Book of the Dead blazing brightly, and a dark shadow emerged on its own, extremely clear, and bowed deeply to Charlotte who was touching the cover, and the respectful voice was even a little panicked:
"Noble and great being, may I ask what a humble Gust can do for you?"
Blood Girl: ...
Middle-aged Knight: ...
