Chapter 612 - 412 The Blood Queen Arrives, Submit Quickly!
Bolin Kingdom, Marquis Kate's Domain, Kate City,
Lis looked at the disheveled Andre and a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
"Who are you?"
Andre got up from the rubble, asking with a gloomy expression.
Just from the instant exchange, he knew he was no match for the young man before him.
The sudden attack had taken Andre by surprise; all he could do was barely mobilize his strength to defend against Lis's assault, and even so, he was overpowered without resistance and knocked down.
Ignoring his usually meticulously cared-for clothes now stained with dust, Andre tensed all over, with the power of blood surging within him.
Even so, he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack the handsome young man in front of him.
He didn't sense any particularly strong aura from the other party, but the opponent's move just a moment ago, as well as the constant sense of threat that neared death, kept Andre on high alert.
"Me? Didn't Molin tell you?"
Lis said with a smile, sizing up the Golden-level Vampire before him.
Truth be told, Andre's strength was quite decent among Golden-level Vampires but ultimately only among Vampires.
Vampires, due to their ability to drain the blood of other creatures and simultaneously absorb the strength of other Professionals, can use this to enhance their own abilities.
At the same time, they can also refine the essence of blood to gain additional Blood Energy.
In other words, Vampires can increase their strength quickly through this shortcut.
This makes it easier for Vampires to break through the tier cap and master stronger powers, an advantage that other races do not have.
However, the consequence is that Vampires' strength generally cannot compare with other races' beings of the same level, which is why they seldom fight head-on, usually choosing to fight in environments suitable for them and typically through sneak attacks or using spells and other long-range combat methods.
Professionals who are unfamiliar with Vampire combat strategies often suffer the first time they face them, but in front of someone like Lis, who has rich experience in fighting Vampires, Andre couldn't cause much trouble.
Lis used Magic Power to casually snuff out a Little Bat that flew out from the dark; his expression didn't change, as if sensing Andre's next move was nothing serious.
Andre also noticed Lis's action, and as the connection to his split-off bat vanished, he felt his mood continuously sinking.
"Molin..."
"Could you be the Blood Queen Angela?"
Andre blurted out without thinking, his face changing.
Lis's face fell and just as he was about to correct him, he heard the other party continue.
"No, that's not right; you're a Human, not a Vampire."
"Are you the robed figure Molin mentioned?"
That's more like it...
Lis shook his head, almost unable to accept being mistaken for Angela.
"Why are you here?"
Andre asked instinctively, feeling something was amiss and probing.
In this situation, it was obvious to him that the chances of escaping were slim; he could only hope that the young man had other purposes for seeking him out.
This?
Lis stretched out his right hand, patting the white Little Bat still perched atop his head.
"Time for business."
"Oh... Oh! Oh!"
Angela flapped her small wings, rising from Lis's head and fluttering into midair.
Only then did Andre notice Angela's presence and couldn't help but feel astounded.
What is this... entity?
Vampire?
...No, that's not right!
In a flash, alarm bells rang out in Andre's mind, and he looked at the Angela before him in astonishment.
He saw a rich blood light completely covering the white Little Bat's body, and it kept extending and growing, gradually taking shape into a young girl.
As the light dissipated, a silver-haired, black-eyed girl was standing there. Her hair was as luminous and pure as the silvery moonlight, shimmering with an enchanting luster; her eyes were like profound black holes, seemingly capable of engulfing everything.
She was dressed in a blood-red evening gown, outlining the young girl's enchanting and slender figure, with the hem fluttering gently with her movements, like a blooming blood rose.
The girl exuded an aura of pure and powerful Blood Energy and darkness. The kind of aura that seemed to convey endless darkness and blood, both Mysterious and dangerous, irresistibly Charmful, making one unable to resist the urge to draw closer.
"This is..."
Andre's mind was momentarily overwhelmed, looking at the beautiful girl who looked down at him from above, a disdainful look on her delicate little face.
He was not captivated by the girl's beauty but rather shocked by the Blood Energy and darkness radiating from her.
This incredibly pure Blood Energy was, by far, stronger than his as a Golden-level Vampire.
Between him and the young girl before him, it seemed like the relationship between a higher-tier creature and a lower-tier one. For a moment, Andre didn't even have the will to resist.
Lis also felt the aura emanating from Angela, and he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
A faint scent of blood wafted from Angela, wrapping around Lis's nose.
It lacked the corrupt, foul odor typical of Vampires like Andre, instead carrying a fresh fragrance full of vitality.
At the same time, the dark aura emanating from Angela was not as chaotic and evil as that of Abyss Demons or Undead Creatures but rather as serene as a tranquil night, peaceful and pure with a deeply concealed danger.
He was keenly aware that the Blood Energy and darkness of Angela were much stronger and purer than when she had left Bright City, as if she had undergone several purifications and refinements.
