Chapter 121: Chapter 120 The Infighting Among Vampires?
Mora came out of Old Jack’s small shop.
Lis thought for a moment, and instead of going home, he headed in the direction of Gedo Street.
It had been quite a while since he last visited the adventure team’s villa. Now that he was out, it seemed like a good time to check in, and see if Ya’er and Arsen had taken on any new commission tasks lately.
On the way to Gedo Street, Lis casually bought some fried radish ball skewers and wild mushroom chicken skewers from a roadside stall.
Truth be told, sometimes the taste from these small stalls was really good.
Because they could only attract customers with their flavors, whereas some so-called high-end restaurants increased their prices by offering an atmosphere and style, the taste of their food was often indescribable.
...
Lis finished his wild mushroom chicken skewer with satisfaction, watching as Angela on his shoulder eagerly nibbled on the radish balls.
Both of them were quite pleased with these snacks, to the extent that Lis planned to buy some more on the way back.
Just as the two of them had just entered Gedo Street and could see from afar the towering roof of the Mercenary Guild,
a sudden change occurred!
Bang!
The wall of a house along the street in front of Lis suddenly shattered, with splinters of wood and stone bricks flying in all directions, while pedestrians screamed in panic and dodged.
Lis, while casting a shield around himself, cautiously looked towards the half-air.
He saw clearly that the house was destroyed by someone breaking through the wall from the inside out.
The culprit was the two entangled masses in mid-air, emitting intense fluctuations of blood-red mist.
What’s the situation, why does it look so much like a Vampire’s mist-form skill?
Lis cautiously surveyed the battle in the sky and quickly retreated to a safe distance.
Could this be the Vampire Mora mentioned, the one who killed its own kind in Golden Lily Lane?
No matter who they were, the pressure from both sides of the battle was quite substantial for Lis, possibly both Gold Rank fighters.
Lis thought for a moment, then took a few more steps back.
After receiving the life-saving trump cards from two legendary figures, Lis’s style of conducting business became slightly more daring, as was the case now.
If it had been before, he would have definitely left without looking back, but now he wanted to see the outcome of the battle between these two Gold Level Vampires.
As Lis stepped to the side, the two blood-red mists in the sky churned violently. One of the mists abruptly retreated, its Spirit Light dimming slightly as if it had suffered a great loss.
As the blood mist receded, two figures appeared in mid-air, completely unconcerned about the sunlight nearing its zenith falling upon them.
When Vampires broke through to the high-levels, sunlight hardly had any killing power over them.
However, they still didn’t enjoy the feeling of basking in the sun,
with the exception of a certain white bat.
One of them should be the Vampire who had just suffered a loss, his handsome, pale visage revealing ferocity and darkness.
“Who exactly are you, and why do you keep attacking me?”
“I don’t remember knowing you!”
Within the cold voice, however, there was a hint of concession. The Gold Level Vampire Kutena no longer wanted to continue the fight.
During the fight just now, he realized that the Blood Magic he used seemed to be completely countered by this person in front of him.
This was very strange!
If we’re both using Blood Magic, why can you still counter mine?
“Are you done talking?”
The Golden-level Vampire from the south, Marion, was floating in the air, speaking with an indifferent tone:
“If you’re done, then just die quietly. The sight of you scum disgusts me.”
With that, he raised his right hand and a bloody long blade appeared in Marion’s hand. His figure flashed, striking towards Kutena.
Kutena’s eyes turned cold, this guy had no intention of reasoning with him, he could only muster his Magic Power to barely cope.
This guy, acting as if dying by my hand is the greatest honor you could have.
Kutena felt a level of frustration he hadn’t felt in a long time. Since breaking through to Gold Rank, although he dared not show himself openly, he’d had a rather enjoyable hidden life within Bright City.
With the regular tributes from the Blood Servants and occasionally capturing some fresh, delicious food, as long as he was careful, there was no chance of being discovered by the Kingdom or the Church of the Gods.
Only yesterday, this troublesome guy had hunted him down without a word and launched a killing spree, proving to be so strong.
Had Kutena not sensed the danger and abandoned all his subordinates, he might not have escaped last night.
Unexpectedly, after moving to Gedo Street, a hiding place few knew of, this guy still tenaciously pursued him here.
“How did you find me?”
Kutena was somewhat unwilling to accept this. If he didn’t get to the bottom of it, it would be useless to escape again, as this guy would still find him.
“Hey, I can smell your stench from far away. Where do you think you can hide?”
Marion was unconcerned, even with that knowledge, these creatures had no way out.
“Stop struggling. Offer your heart to me quietly, and maybe I’ll spare your life.”
“You’re full of shit!”
Kutena was furious, asking for his heart was basically asking him to die.
Everyone knows that, for a Vampire, the heart is the most important part, storing the essence of their Blood Energy, it’s not something they can afford to surrender.
“I gave you a chance, it’s not my fault if you don’t seize it.”
Marion, with a somewhat sick smile, ignored Kutena’s attacks, charging right into Kutena’s embrace as if they were lovers.
However, the blood-colored long blade in Marion’s hand mercilessly stabbed into Kutena’s shoulder, and with a fierce pull, Kutena’s right arm along with a part of his body were severed without any resistance.
The seriously injured Kutena no longer had the strength to resist. He steeled his heart and directly used his consciousness to control the explosion of his severed arm.
The violent surge of energy knocked Marion back several meters. After all, a self-destruct attack from a Gold Rank powerhouse presented some difficulty even for him to completely withstand.
Kutena, finally seizing a moment to breathe, did not bother to entangle with Marion further. Already seriously wounded, he only wanted to leave this place quickly.
Kutena flashed and dashed directly toward a small alley on the side of the street.
Well, how convenient!
It was the very alley where Lis was standing.
It wasn’t that Kutena still desired to feed at this moment, but for safety, he hadn’t set the secret passage inside the house at his hideout; instead, it was in an alley not far away.
But Lis didn’t know that, seeing Kutena charging towards him, he thought Kutena had discovered him and wanted to pull him down with him.
Reacting quickly, the Jade Wand appeared in Lis’s hands, and he cast “Advanced Protective Field” on himself. Then, using the Five-Ring Magic “Ice Cone,” he conjured a huge Ice Cone in mid-air and launched it towards Kutena who was coming at him.
A Silver Mage?
Kutena was startled, not expecting his escape route to include such an obstacle.
On any ordinary day, Kutena wouldn’t concern himself with a Silver Mage, but not now. He was severely injured and needed the remaining strength to deal with Marion.
