Chapter 641: Chapter 422: Bursting the Legendary Vampire’s Gold Coins!
Bolin Kingdom, Burns Territory,
Lis gripped his longsword tightly, staring intently at the legendary vampire Benfica before him.
Not until Benfica’s aura had completely vanished and his body had turned into a crimson pool of blood, fully absorbed by Lord Burns’ Waning Moon Scythe, did he finally take a deep breath and relax.
Is it finally over?
Lis looked at his slightly trembling hands and grinned.
What a thrilling and exciting day!
Who would have thought that he would be hunted down by a legendary vampire, yet manage to escape death, even successfully turning the tables on his pursuer?
Most importantly, Benfica, who was so arrogant just moments ago and treated Lis as if he were an ant, now didn’t even leave a trace of his existence behind.
Completely and utterly disappeared from this world, and this ordinary hill turned out to be the burial ground of a legendary strongman.
According to the system information, it seemed that the fatal strike was delivered by Lis!
Exhaling the evil breath in his chest, Lis sheathed his longsword.
The excitement from the fight gradually subsided, and the pain from his injuries, along with the exhaustion from his nearly depleted magical power, surged over him.
Feeling dizzy, Lis suspected that if he relaxed for a moment, he could fall to the ground and fall asleep instantly.
Shaking his head to regain some clarity, Lis turned to the boss standing in front of him, inspecting him, and respectfully bowed, saying,
“I am Angela’s friend, Lis Kain.”
“Thank you for coming to our rescue, Lord Burns!”
“If it weren’t for you today, both Angela and I might not have made it.”
“Hmm…”
Lord Burns waved his hand and the blood-colored scythe disappeared from his grasp.
“So, you are Lis?”
“Well done just now!”
Burns was not just being polite; he truly appreciated Lis’s performance.
Having lived through countless ages, now very few things could catch Burns’s attention.
The Divine Son Angela, daughter of Cain, was one, and the legendary vampire they had just faced was another.
Burns could tell at a glance that Angela, perched on Lis’s shoulder, was in a pretty bad state.
But that was normal; she had invoked Cain’s power last night, which was still too much for her current capacity.
This was actually good for Angela; once she recovered, she would be more familiar with this power.
However, it also meant that during the pursuit by Benfica, Lis had almost held his ground on his own.
Burns sensed the aura of other legends from Lis, even so, it was quite remarkable.
Most importantly, in the final confrontation with the legendary vampire Benfica, Lis showed no sign of fear or hesitation, decisively finishing Benfica with a single sword strike.
For a gold-level warrior, that was quite an extraordinary display of courage and conviction.
The more such resolute individuals there are, the more likely they are to reach higher and stronger peaks in the future.
Although Lis is human, Burns could see that he shared a very close relationship with the Divine Son Angela.
Burns didn’t really care about the relationship between Lis and Angela; after all, it was Angela’s own business.
Being a member of the Blood Clan didn’t necessitate overthinking, they don’t value lineage like the Day Elves do.
Instead, Lis’s presence could accelerate Angela’s growth, which was enough to satisfy Burns.
No one wanted more than Burns for Angela to soon grow into a state of self-reliance; this referred not to her strength but to her psychological state.
After all, the temptations facing the Blood Clan were too dangerous and numerous.
The reason the Blood Clan’s numbers are few, and Burns and his peers chose not to expand their numbers, is because without a firm conviction, it’s very easy to fall into temptation and descend into the Abyss, becoming one of the vampires.
This was something even Cain had no control over.
Angela had experienced too little as of now; she was like a child, despite possessing powerful strengths, she was still lacking in many other aspects.
However, Burns noticed a slight change in Angela, who was staying close to Lis; she seemed to have matured a bit?
That was the best news for Burns!
His goal of a good night’s sleep was getting closer!
“Keep this safe, take your friend to the castle for some proper rest.”
“Once you have recovered, bring him to see me.”
With a wave of his hand, a crystal-clear, blood-red heart appeared in it, shining like a ruby in the sunlight, dazzlingly bright.
Without any horror or gore, in Lis’s eyes, this heart seemed like a very delicate piece of art.
A light, fresh fragrance of blood wafted through the air, and just by smelling this fragrance, Lis felt his injuries healing slightly.
Seeing this, how could Lis not understand?
This was the essence of the legendary vampire Benfica’s blood, refined by Burns into this heart crystal.
When Lis first met Angela, she was sleeping on a gold-level vampire duke’s heart.
At that time, that heart must have already been fully absorbed by Angela!
The blood essence contained in this legendary vampire’s heart was far stronger than that one.
Burns gently tossed it, and the heart crystal floated in front of Angela.
The white little bat on Lis’s shoulder fluttered its wings and took off, transforming back into the appearance of a silver-haired girl.
