A mysterious aura enveloped everyone present, and the air seemed to be stagnant.

Selene looked towards the interior of the castle in surprise.

If she hadn't met all the existing vampire elders and knew their auras, she would have thought that one of the elders had come in person based on the intensity of the aura.

But why does this feel so familiar?

A figure flashed through his mind. It was the wizard Oka who had not been seen since entering the castle.

She originally thought that the wizard had escaped from the battlefield, but at that time he was already in combat mode and had no time to find anyone.

Now it seems that the other party went directly to steal the house?

But why would a wizard exude such an aura like a dark creature?

At this time, Dio was even more frightened, because he knew that the direction from which the breath was coming was his room, where there were bows and arrows that could turn people into substitute messengers!

This set of bows and arrows was given to him by his subordinate Enya Granny. When a person is shot with this set of bows and arrows, the person will either die on the spot or awaken a substitute.

Now it was obvious that someone had sneaked into his room, perhaps using a bow and arrow.

A cold light flashed in Dio's eyes. He didn't care if there was an extra substitute. His substitute [World] was invincible.

But what was going on with this aura that made his body instinctively frightened?

He has clearly given up his human identity and become a higher-level vampire!

He couldn't accept this sense of fear coming from his bloodline!

This makes the young man who shouted "I'm no longer a human being" at the British mansion many years ago seem like a joke now.

Feeling the first panic in his heart for a long time, he spread his arms and said, "The world!"

There seemed to be a slight clock sound in the air, and invisible ripples spread from Dio's body to the surroundings. For just a moment, everything seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and even the frozen particles in the air were clearly visible.

Dio's humanoid double appeared behind him.

It looks like a sturdy humanoid stand-in, very similar to Dio in appearance. It wears a headdress that covers the base of its nose, and its face and triangular inversion somewhat resemble the red crown of Egypt. The whole body is golden, as if wearing golden armor, with heart-shaped decorations on the chin, abdomen and knees.

This is his stand-in, [World], with the ability to pause time.

Just like the name of the avatar, once the avatar's ability is displayed, he becomes the master of the entire world, taking everything he wants from everything around him.

Looking at the female vampire in front of him, he could pierce the blade into her body at will if he wanted.

When entering this silent world, Dio's heart calmed down.

Although he only has three or four seconds because his body has not fully recovered yet, he can feel truly safe in this space. He is the king here, and no one can disobey him in this time fragment.

Da da……

In this still space, the sound of footsteps was sudden and clear.

Dio's expression froze and he could no longer maintain his arrogant look.

He looked at the direction of the sound with a horrified expression, his pupils shrinking to the extreme.

He has paused time, why are there still other people's footsteps? !

At this time, Dio felt as if he had clearly cut off all the electricity in the room, but saw the TV screen suddenly light up with snowflakes, which was as terrifying as the snowflakes.

As the footsteps approached, wisps of black mist floated out from all directions, making it even more weird in the still space.

The mist gradually gathered in front of Dio, surrounding him into a human shape.

The human figure does not look tall, only about 1.6 meters, and the whole body is shrouded in mist.

As the fog gradually dispersed, the human form gradually revealed its true appearance.

Under a head of silver-white broken hair, a pitch-black mask blocked the lower half of his face, revealing only black skin and blood-red eyes. Traces of scales could be faintly seen on the surface of the skin.

White cloth strips wrap around the limbs and torso. The outline of the muscles can be seen through the cloth strips, and the ends of several strips of cloth are fluttering behind him.

"Is this a substitute?"

At this time, the time pause of less than 4 seconds had ended. Selene's vision blurred, and she found that Dio, who had been facing her just now, suddenly turned around and looked in front of her with a solemn expression.

And standing in front of him...

"Is this... another substitute?"

A stand-in is actually a manifestation of spiritual power, so except for a limited number of physical stand-ins, almost all stand-ins cannot be seen by anyone except the stand-in user.

Even though Selene was a vampire, she could only see a faint outline, but she was surprised to find that she could clearly see the entire face of the human figure in front of her.

Dio had no time to take care of her at this time, he was in a state of doubting life.

There is actually a substitute who can move freely within the range where his time has stopped?

Dio's eyes were fixed on the end of the stairs in the distance, which was the room where the sound came from.

The tense atmosphere made Selene couldn't help but look intently. The next second, her heart felt relaxed, and then tightened again.

The person who emerged from the end of the stairs was none other than Oka.

However, although Oka came here as his ally, except for taking care of the gate guards for them at first, he disappeared after that.

Now it seems that obtaining the ability to stand in is probably his real goal.

It’s hard to figure out whether the other party’s current position is friend or foe...

Selene had begun to move slowly towards Erica, ready to slip away at any time.

Dio looked at Oka's unfamiliar face. Even though he was flustered, his eyes were still full of contempt and disdain.

"An unknown person dares to break into my mansion without permission."

"Then let me introduce myself, Oka, Oka Egbo."

Oka walked forward calmly, the stand-in wrapped in white cloth stepped lightly on the ground with one leg, slowly floated up behind Oka, and wrapped one hand around his neck.

But the difference in stature between the two at this time was too great. It looked like the double and Oka were like father and son whose children wanted to be carried on their father's back.

The substitute obviously noticed this, snorted coldly, and fell down again.

Dio frowned. Is this substitute too humane?

"Oka," Dio repeated his name, as if to confirm that he had not heard it before.

The next moment, Oka's expression changed, and he ducked sideways in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

The world suddenly appeared beside him at some point. He dodged the punch, but he was still knocked back two steps by the fierce wind.

"Mr. Dio, you seem a bit despicable."

Oka adjusted his black robe. Even if he avoided the attack, the fabric of the black robe on his chest became tattered.

The stand-in behind him sneered, not sure whether he was laughing at Dio's despicability or his embarrassment.

"Mr. Oka, a thief, seems to have no right to call me despicable."

"That's true."

Oka smiled.

"White Dragon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bailong, who was covered in white cloth, snorted coldly and walked toward the world reluctantly.

Compared to the tall and burly Sekai, who is 1.85 meters tall, Bai Long looks thinner, and the two stand-ins are facing each other from a distance with a huge difference in stature.

But Bailong still looked disdainful, stretched out a finger towards the world and shook it, which was full of provocation.

Seeing that this stupid man didn't have any emotion at all, a trace of boredom flashed in his blood-red eyes.

Selene looked at them nervously. She was carefully pulling out the dagger from Erica's chest and feeding it to her with her own blood.

As her eyes swept across, the flashing reflection on the ground broke into her field of vision.

He turned around and glanced.

The next second, his pupils suddenly widened.

The ice blue eyes were full of disbelief.
