Shadow of the Beautiful World

boom

The black mist full of magic power exploded in the vast Temple of Eternal Night. The power of this explosion was much stronger than any previous black mist explosion.

In order to open the inheritance of the blood god, Dickon let his vampire warlocks crazily extract the magic power under the surface of Mount Todd. Everywhere in the air, Merlin's black mist accumulates energy faster, and the explosion is more violent and more threatening.

kuang

The closed, heavy steel gate was blasted in the opposite direction in this powerful explosion, and the thick steel was melted and revived by the rising flames and brutal impact. A sign of distortion.

Merlin and Elsa walked into the magnificent Temple of Eternal Night almost stepping on ashes that could submerge the soles of their shoes.

In front of them, on the ground paved with pure white marble, several pure blood vampires who survived the explosion were struggling. They survived Merlin's best blows in bat form, but that was all.

They worked very hard to survive, but unfortunately, their way to survive could only be terminated at this moment.

puff

The silver samurai sword pierced the back of a pure-blood from behind, nailing it to the cracked marble floor.

After it howled and burned and turned into ashes, Merlin pulled out the witcher knife stuck in the ground. This sword from old Whistler, after more than 20 minutes of frenzied killing, after drinking hundreds of vampires After the blood, he was finally overwhelmed.

This sharp war knife has been curled, and there are still some conspicuous gaps on the knife body.

Merlin shook his head regretfully.

It's a good knife, alas, it no longer fulfills its purpose as a weapon.

Behind Merlin, Miss Bloodstone made up for the remaining pure-blooded vampires one by one. The weapon in her hand was still strong, probably because she fought with two swords, which were used by the master in turn. Under the circumstances, the condition of these two swords is not bad.

So, is this why demon hunters carry two swords?

Merlin threw Whistler's sword into his magic pocket, and said to Elsa behind him:

Easy to maintain?

It started like this.

Miss Bloodstone took out a tube of sword oil from her pocket, seized the time to apply demon-hunting ointment to the weapon, and replied:

In the Middle Ages, a good sword was hard to come by. In addition, most demon hunters were mercenaries with limited income, so they had to take good care of their weapons. But the current forging technology allows every demon hunter to Possesses an almost inexhaustible 'magic weapon', so wearing double swords is more of a nostalgia for tradition.

But the real magic weapon must still exist, right?

Merlin felt the darkness in the surrounding white light, spreading it with difficulty, and asked:

Let me retain a little fantasy about fantasy stories. I guess, in the legend of the witcher, there must be some ancient weapons that modern weapons can't match. In my opinion, weapons forged by machines will always be A soul is missing.

Yes, I have.

Elsa followed behind Merlin. She vigilantly looked at the empty and terrifyingly quiet Temple of Eternal Night. While looking at the vivid murals carved on the walls of the temple, she said to Merlin:

Now Europe, Siberia, South America, Japan, and North Africa are still passing down several demon hunting families, all of which have sacred objects enshrined for generations. They are used by dozens of generations of demon hunters and have killed countless monsters. Afterwards, weapons beyond the mundane. The Bloodstone family also has them, but it’s a pity that our family’s sacred objects have been lost along with my father’s disappearance.”

I'm starting to wonder, what is the shape of your family's holy object?

Merlin sensed a life form that looked like a blade, and he led Elsa into another passage. He asked:

Is it a sword? Or a firearm? Or simply, a bow? Or something like a crossbow.

neither.

Elsa followed behind Merlin, she hesitated, then replied in a low voice:

It's a holy cross, called reincarnation. It is said that it was made by an ancestor with the remaining holy silver that sealed Dracula. The ancestor said that the bloodstone family and Dracula would fight non-stop in endless time, Until one side fell completely, so she called that weapon Cursed Reincarnation.

Cursed reincarnation?

Merlin froze for a moment, he nodded and said:

Nice name. Look, our Mr. Lone Ranger, playing on the swing up front.

With Merlin's finger raised, Elsa also saw the blade of the vampire hunter hanging in the hall of the temple.

He's looking pretty bad right now.

His blood dripped down from the wound on his body, creating a shocking pool of blood on the ground at the foot of the blade. And he was hung on the chain, with his head bowed, as if he had completely lost his vitality.

He was still alive, and Merlin could feel his heartbeat, but it was extremely weak.

reduto! (shattering curse)

Merlin tapped his wrist, and Lola, the wand, waved in the air, and a shattering curse precisely hit the top of the chain that bound the blade.

Now, after more than 7 years of soaking in magic, the Shattering Curse thrown by Merlin is comparable to a frontal attack of a grenade. The thick chain is accompanied by the shattering of the marble on the top of the hall. In the shaking and collision, it follows the falling blade. , and smashed together on the ground of the temple.

It's terrible.

Merlin and Elsa walked quickly to Blade's Edge. Miss Bloodstone was nervously treating the wound for Blade's Edge, while Merlin squatted down and looked at the vampire hunter who was so weak that he couldn't even lift his fingers.

Dao Feng lay in a pool of his own blood, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Merlin.

The face that was always expressionless finally showed expression for the first time.

How did you come here so slowly?

Because we, like you, rushed in recklessly under the siege of hundreds of vampires.

Merlin said very dissatisfied:

Maybe next time, before you decide to be a hero, you can think about whether your ability is worthy of your recklessness.

I can still fight!

Blade gritted his teeth and said:

Dickon, it started the inheritance and I must, must stop it!

You'd better lie here obediently.

Merlin looked back at the closed door of the secret room behind him. The door was engraved with blood-soaked red mantras, like a wall, perfectly blocking Merlin's perception.

But in the current situation, even without Spirit Vision, Merlin could feel that behind the door, a terrifying energy body was rapidly gathering.

The appearance of that thing even distorted the operation of the surrounding magic power, forming a terrifying vacuum of magic power.

Whatever was behind that door was far more powerful than a guy like Voldemort.

He was hurt too badly.

Elsa injected some special medicine into Blade's body, she stood up and said to Merlin:

We have to get him out, or he'll die here.

Need not!

Merlin turned around, crouched beside Blade, and said:

Eric, remember the conversation between us yesterday afternoon?

Blade closed his eyes, he nodded, obviously, he hadn't forgotten, and he knew what Merlin was going to do.

I want you to be mentally prepared.

Merlin pulled out his black fighting knife from his boot, and he stretched out his hand in front of the blade, saying:

Actually, even without you, I am sure to solve the troubles in front of me. But I believe that a person as proud as you, as stubborn and stubborn as you, must be very unwilling and just act like a bystander.

Give me your blood!

Blade gritted his teeth and said:

Dickon and I have a new score to settle.

very good.

Merlin pressed the sharp blade against his palm, and there was a flame dancing in his eyes, as if he was performing a certain ceremony, he said:

It seems that you are ready, then

Become a monster.

swish

The fighting knife cut the palm of his hand, and Merlin clenched his fists tightly. The bright red blood gushed out from the wound drop by drop, dripping on the edge of Dao Feng's mouth.

This was the first time that Dao Feng actively drank blood since he was born, and the first time he actively awakened the half of his body that belonged to the true power of vampires.

Before that, Blade had been fighting as a human being, but now, it was time for him to find his true self.

Beside Merlin, the young Miss Bloodstone turned her head, she couldn't bear to see this scene. Hunter Blade, who has been working hard to change the fate of being a vampire, is still on the road of no return belonging to vampires before her eyes.

For vampires, the addiction to blood is terrifying, as long as they draw blood once, it is almost impossible to quit.

Well!

The moment Merlin's blood full of dark magic power dripped onto his lips, Blade's ten fingers clenched tightly.

The veins on his neck and arms were bulging, and his frail body was shaking crazily, as if he was enduring extreme pain. He closed his eyes, but under the skin on his cheeks, it seemed that there were countless insects moving. The scene looked horrifying.

And with the trembling of his body, the exaggerated black feathered snake tattoo on his skin was beating as if it had been alive.

The blood energy that Daywalker has sealed for more than 30 years is awakening little by little, and the blood-red power begins to emerge around the vampire hunter's body. The blood energy penetrates into his body, quickly healing his injuries, and making the blade strong already At this moment, the body seemed to inflate out of thin air.

click, click

Amidst the low, creepy sound of bones colliding, the outline of his arm changed little by little, those stretched muscles became more exaggerated, the knuckles of his fingers became thicker, and around his mouth, There are also sharp teeth like canine teeth that are growing rapidly.

It really looks like it's recorded in the family book.

Elsa observed and recorded the transformation of the blade, she said with surprise:

The vampirization process of the daywalkers is closer to atavism than pure blood vampires. Just looking at its appearance, you know that it is more difficult to deal with.

Your ancestors also saw Sunwalkers before?

Merlin was observing the way the magic power of the spell gate worked, frowning as he tried to crack the locked gate. He looked at Elsa and asked:

In your records, are there many sunwalkers like Blade?

No, not much at all!

Miss Bloodstone took a step back, she carefully held the hilt of her silver sword, and said:

Sunshine is the original sin of vampires, and this sin is engraved in the bones of vampires.

Even legendary vampires hate the sun, even though the sun can no longer harm them. But day walkers can walk freely in the sun. They are aliens in the vampire group. Every time they appear, they will be in the vampire society. Cause a big upheaval, for better or for worse.

Elsa paused and said:

It is for this reason that most of the daywalkers that appeared in history were strangled by both demon hunters and vampires before they grew up. But those who survived have become famous big shots.

The moment Miss Blood Stone finished speaking, Dao Feng's closed eyes suddenly opened, and they were a pair of blood-colored pupils that made people fear.

He's awake! Watch out!

Miss Bloodstone's scream resounded in the hall, and Merlin, who was breaking the last few lines of magic power, felt the whistling and heavy sound of breaking wind from behind, and he instantly turned into smoke and dissipated.

The blade that has completed the vampire transformation seems to have lost its mind. In the frantic roar, the alienated, warhammer-like fists, after a few steps forward, smashed fiercely with terrifying force. On the rune gate in front of you.

kuang

In the midst of a loud bang that shook the sky, the door protected by magic power was smashed out by the blade.

And the scene inside the sealed chamber of the Eternal Night Hall finally appeared in front of the three people.

In front of their eyes, on the platform under the 12 pillars, the 12 Patriarchs of the American Presbyterian Church had no bones left, only the disgusting flesh and blood left on the ground, which represented that they once existed.

On the most central platform, Dickon, the vampire, is in a very sticky posture, with his arms spread out, his head raised high, and there is a mysterious bloodstain on his forehead.

And on the dome of the Eternal Night Temple surrounded by endless pale light, the last drop of dark red origin blood was also dripping from the white spikes.

The ceremony has reached the final stage.

Stop it!

Elsa drank a bottle of potion, and the veins on her beautiful face suddenly burst out. At this moment, her whole body was like jumping white lightning, holding a pistol and a silver sword in both hands, and rushed to the platform in a light jump Central Deacon.

The mist of Merlin's incarnation spread out at a faster speed, trying to stop the last drop of origin blood from falling.

And faster than the two of them is the blade that has completed the vampire transformation. This guy's recurved legs kicked on the ground. With the cracking of the marble floor under his feet, it howled and spread his arms With that sharp claw, he slammed into Dickon in the center of the platform.

At the same time, Dickon's eyes suddenly opened at this moment.

It was a pair of blood-red eyes mixed with pale, pupil-less eyes.

Sunwalker, there are two more 'guests'. You guys are here to welcome you.

Did the Impaler come back?
