Silas and Lori quietly pushed open the castle door.
They explored the rooms but still saw no one until Silas opened the door to the hall.
The mountain of corpses piled inside the hall door collapsed with a loud bang after losing the support of the door, but the horrified expressions on their faces were still vivid, as if frozen in ice, maintaining the state they were in at the last moment of their lives.
This was the first time in Silas's life that he had seen such a horrific scene. The collapse of the mountain of corpses brought Silas a strong visual impact.
The traces of battle in the hall and the scattered bodies of the guards made Silas imagine the current scene.
"There must have been a battle here." Lori said as she walked over to the body of the guard slumped against the wall.
"Well, the footprints on the floor are the same size as the ones he left in the village last time. They should have been done by Hohen after he transformed." Silas agreed with Lori's point of view and said.
"I didn't find Aetina's body, I hope it's not too late." Silas subconsciously felt uneasiness spreading in his heart.
"Well, the smell of corpses here is too strong. I can hardly smell anything." Lori said, pinching her nose.
An intuition guided Silas to search the top floor of the castle. He vaguely felt that Aitina was there.
Silas nervously groped his way up the escalator, while Lori followed behind him.
They finally arrived at the door.
It was pitch black inside, without any light source, but when Silas lit the tinder, he could see the tragic situation inside the room.
After seeing Aetna's body, Silas fell into grief and extreme confusion.
"Why is this happening?!" Silas rushed to the cross and took down Aetina, who had lost her heartbeat.
Her body was cold, and the temperature inside her body dropped as a large amount of blood was lost. Her soul had been taken away by the outer gods, and now only a shell was left.
Before Silas could put it on his back, the lid of the wooden coffin behind him was suddenly blown away.
"I smell a werewolf!" Hohen's sleep was interrupted by the arrival of Lori. At this time, Lori was Hohen's enemy, but also a great tonic.
Lori hid behind Silas, who had already drawn his sword. She also took off the long stick she had been carrying and untied the layers of cloth wrapped around it.
It was a scepter with a lifelike and majestic statue of Anubis on top, and the body of the scepter was engraved with hieroglyphic texts with a strong sense of mystery.
When this wolf-headed human statue sensed the aura of Hohen's blood clan, its eyes began to shine with a strange light.
Lori felt as if her body had become lighter, and her movements became more agile, while at the same time, Hohen felt that the operation of his blood core was disturbed.
The scepter that Lori secretly brought out was the one in the hands of the statue that had been worshipped by the Baidengshan lineage on the altar in the canyon.
At this time, the power of the scepter itself brought a beneficial effect to Lori, and at the same time weakened the werewolf clan's mortal enemy, the vampire Hohen.
Hohen adjusted his strength within two breaths. As he climbed out of the coffin, he began to transform, but he still retained his evil taste for playing with the weak.
Hohen simply transformed his right hand into a giant devilish claw and leaped up to pounce on Silas who was holding a sword.
Silas held the sword upright in front of his chest and remembered the words taught by the old man.
"A sword is used to kill people. You have to be quick, ruthless and accurate, and kill the opponent with one strike."
Hohen felt that Silas's aura had instantly turned into a sharp sword. He smiled and said,
"Interesting. You dare to draw your sword against me. That's great."
Silas quickly stabbed out with his sword, which was heading for Hohen's left chest. He had long known from the old man that the biggest weakness of the vampires was the heart, so he wanted to kill them with one strike.
But Hohen was not a scarecrow in the field. He turned sideways and used his transformed giant claws to lightly tap the sword that Silas had stabbed out.
The force from the hilt almost made Silas lose his grip on the sword, but the old man had taught Silas how to deal with this situation, which was to twist a small step to the left and use the force from the opponent to chop.
Since one sword strike won't kill him, use the blade of the sword to chop off his head.
Hohen bent backwards to avoid Silas's blow, but Silas's sword cut off half of Hohen's proud blue beard.
Lori also took this opportunity to step forward and hit Hohen's bent body hard with the scepter.
The blue beard fell to the ground. Hohen looked at his beloved beard and let out a loud cry.
"Damn it! You all deserve to die!"
Hohen could no longer suppress his power and turned into the bat monster that had attacked Baideng Village.
Hohen's sharp blade cut off the sword in Silas' hand in one stroke and continued to cut towards Silas' chest.
Seeing the high-speed blade wings about to cut him, Silas immediately rolled backwards.
Seeing that Blade Wing's attack failed, Hohen raised his two front paws and slapped forward.
Silas dodged the attack of the left claw, but was scratched by the nail of the right claw when he rolled to the right.
Fortunately, he was wearing the chain mail given by the old man, otherwise he would have been stabbed in the stomach.
The impact of that stroke still acted heavily on Silas' body, so he suffered internal injuries and spit out blood foam.
Seeing this, Lori swung the scepter in her hand and hit Hohen's huge body, but it didn't have any effect.
Fighting in such a dark environment was inherently disadvantageous to Silas, as he did not have the dark vision of the vampires and werewolves.
The situation at this point can be said to be a dead end. In the darkness, Hohen's long whip tail had already circled behind Silas and was raised high.
Silas did not see this in the dim environment, but Lori noticed Hohen's trick.
"Be careful behind you!" Lori shouted, and her body unconsciously rushed towards Silas' position.
Lori pushed Silas away, but her petite body was concentrated by Hohen's whip tail with thorn-like barbs.
The little wolf girl's body, which was slightly stronger than that of an ordinary human, was also beaten to the point of being on the verge of death.
Hohen took the opportunity to pin Silas to the ground and opened his bloody mouth to bite Silas to death.
Lori understood that they could not defeat Hohen in front of them with their own strength. All they could do now was to sacrifice their own lives to the Father God, and with the help of the Father God's power, they could kill this hateful vampire.
She coughed up blood and held the scepter tightly, reciting the scriptures of Father God Hermanbunus in the ancient language.
"Hemanbonus, the father god who guards Hell and the underworld,
Your people, Lori, pray to you for strength,
Luo Li is willing to pay the price of life and soul,
To continue the life you love,
Please turn him into a vigil keeper."
After a quick chant, a circle of mysterious spells appeared around Silas in the form of a sacred book.
