Chapter 856 Abandon
Both Van Helsing and Ethan found the room uncomfortable.
A huge bathtub that was big enough to be a swimming pool, but it didn't contain clean water, and the strong smell of blood directly told the two of them what was inside.
Looking down a little bit, you can see where so much blood comes from—countless young girls are hung above the pool naked, and special tools are inserted into their bodies, so that the blood in their bodies can be slowed down. Flowing continuously into the pool.
Countess Serena was soaking in the bright red blood pool. She squinted her eyes and enjoyed all of this. She also held a special goblet in her hand. As long as she raised her hand slightly, she could catch the bright red liquid flowing from above.
"..."
Van Helsing asked Ethan in a calm tone as much as possible: "How is it? Is she still the Serena you knew?" Anyone could hear the violent anger hidden in his tone.
"Obviously, it's not the one in my house."
"Your home?"
Van Helsing would like to ask a few more questions, but this is not the right time.
"Talk about that later."
With his right hand, he took out the flywheel from under the heavy coat and threw it out, aiming at the girl closest to him.
He knew that even if these girls were rescued, it would be very difficult for them to survive if they were not rescued in time, but he couldn't watch this kind of thing and do nothing.
However, his flywheel didn't work as it should. The device that trapped the girl was not strong, but just as the flywheel approached the target, the bright red liquid on the girl's body seemed to come to life, and the flywheel projectile thrown by Van Helsing flew aside.
"It seems... this is not just an ordinary person whose heart has fallen into darkness."
Vampire hunter Van Helsing has a wealth of experience in hunting dark creatures. He has seen countless situations in his hunting career, among which there are many ordinary people who yearn for darkness, pursue power and then let their hearts fall.
Such guys would do many incomprehensible and even terrifying things, but they were still ordinary people. Although such enemies disgusted him, they were much easier to deal with.
There are also some enemies who have gained terrifying power while their hearts are corrupted. The countess he will face this time is such an enemy.
The Countess Serena stood up from the bright red liquid with a goblet in her hand, showing off her beautiful and perfect curves unreservedly. Lightly brushed his body.
"As a guest, you shouldn't do this kind of behavior."
Following Serena's words, her body slowly "floated", and finally stood barefoot on the bright red liquid. The red liquid sticking to her body slowly changed, turning into a line of bright red long skirt.
"Then do you think we should greet you warmly and enjoy a nice dinner?"
Serena didn't mind Ethan's 'sarcasm' at all, instead she looked at the young man in front of her with great interest. The way he looked at the food made Ethan very unhappy, and he became more and more sure that this was not his Serena. Linna—they are both vampires, and they have almost the same appearance; but the temperament of the two is so different that even people who meet them for the first time will not regard them as the same person.
It took a while for Ethan to look around, but when he came back to his senses, he was surrounded by bright red. The red blood turned into chains, as if trying to tie him up.
Pulling out the long sword, Ethan's current physical fitness is relatively strong among ordinary people, and his reaction speed is relatively fast. At the same time, the experience and skills he has trained for many years are still there. After touching it for a while, he judged that the attack power of these chains Not too strong, he can handle it completely.
The Countess Serena's spells are only weird, and the lethality does not seem to be strong - considering that the famous Van Helsing has achieved such a great reputation, it is also relying on the melee combat ability of ordinary people, with a variety of equipment, It seems that the dark biological power in this world is not too terrifying.
As long as he can overcome his fear, Ethan's current strength is enough to handle this kind of situation!
The long sword in his hand swung left and right to block, every swing can bounce the blood-red chains attacking him aside, Ethan also discovered one thing: the long sword in his hand seems to have a little bit of demon-breaking power. , Purification effect? Maybe it was the equipment that Van Helsing got from the Holy See?
Van Helsing just glanced at it, and after making sure that Ethan was fine, he immediately took out his special crossbow and fired at Serena who was not far away.
The specially made arrows are specially used to deal with dark creatures. Countess Serena became a dark creature when she completely degenerated and mastered these dark powers, so she was naturally restrained.
She was very afraid of the crossbow arrows fired by Van Helsing, and raised her hand to create a wave of blood to defend herself. At the same time, she moved her position—the crossbow arrow pierced through the blood wave, and still flew towards Serena's position, but was caught After blocking for a moment, the speed decreased a lot, allowing Serena to dodge calmly.
The next battle will be very embarrassing. Although Serena's spells are weird, as long as they figure out some routines, whether it is Ethan or Van Helsing, they can deal with them very well, so after fighting for a long time, they only suffered a little flesh. minor injury.
Their various means had no effect on Serena. Although Van Helsing brought a lot of weapons that had been 'blessed' and specially restrained dark creatures, it would be useless if they couldn't hit her.
As the battle dragged on, Van Helsing noticed a situation working against them.
Serena, who was in the pool of blood, seemed to have inexhaustible energy. After fighting for a long time, she still looked relaxed. As the fighting time went on, she even acted like she was enjoying an interesting game.
"She's playing us!"
It's like some ferocious beasts don't kill their prey immediately after catching their prey, but slowly torture them for fun. Now Van Helsing and Ethan are Serena's prey.
"I can see it."
What scene has Ethan not seen? He had already discovered what Serena was thinking. This guy just wanted to use his 'infinite power' to exhaust the two of them until they had no strength, and then they could do whatever they wanted.
Tsk! Thinking about how I often did whatever I wanted to Serena back then, I didn't expect to be punished so soon.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party didn't want to kill him in one go, Ethan has been distracted thinking, what is this 'mission'?
After much deliberation, the biggest possibility is to allow myself to 'take back' my own power, even if I only recover a little bit of the power I once had, Serena in front of me is not a problem, she can be destroyed with a wave of my hand .
After trying for a long time, he always felt a strange barrier, as if his body had become a seal that suppressed his own power. He could clearly feel the slight fluctuation of the power, but he couldn't use it.
How oppressive and oppressive this feeling is, it's like wanting to sneeze, but at the last moment, I forcefully suffocate it back.
"what's on your mind?"
Because of his distracted thinking and a little bit of depression, Ethan's movements were unconsciously slowed down by half a beat, but he was cut by a blood blade, leaving a wound on his neck and bleeding a lot.
"Oh, what a waste!"
The Countess Serena licked her bright red lips, showing her sharp fangs, her eyes glowed scarlet, and even her hair was faintly blood-colored. The Serena and Ethan in front of her were familiar. The bit difference is getting bigger and bigger.
Bringing the blood blade back to her face, Serena lightly licked the blood stained on it—although it was a blade made of blood, Ethan's blood did not fuse with the blood blade.
"Hmm... It's exactly what I imagined, full of youthful vitality! As long as I drink your blood and bathe in your blood, then I will become even more beautiful!"
"..."
Ethan looked at the crazy and idiotic Serena in front of him, feeling the blood slowly flowing out with his hand covering his neck, and suddenly had a weird idea.
"This test... Could it be that I should give up the 'mortal body'?"
He didn't get confused or suddenly thought of it inexplicably, but after being injured and bleeding continuously, he found that he could sense the power in his body more easily.
The change in this feeling is very subtle. If he hadn't been paying attention to it all the time, and his observation ability for subtle changes has always been strong, it would have been difficult to notice this situation so quickly.
"But if I abandon my mortal body, won't I die?"
Ethan looked at Serena not far away, and the blood surrounding her turned into bloody whips with blades and spikes, and the target was already locked on him.
"No, if my strength is still there, but if I am suppressed in the depths, then I should be immortal!"
After trying to understand this, Ethan finally understood what the hell this so-called test was.
Superficial death is not real death; the divine core, which compresses the essence of divine power rules, is the most important part; discard the useless and self-limiting mortal body!
"I hope I guessed right!"
Seeing countless bloody whips rolling towards him, Ethan let go of his hand covering the wound, and at the same time threw away the long sword in his hand, and was pierced and torn apart by countless whips under the surprised eyes of Van Helsing and Serena.
Almost at the same time that Ethan was torn into pieces, a beam of light fell out of thin air, covering Ethan's position, and soon a phantom appeared in the beam of light.
"Sure enough."
Gradually, it could be seen that it was Ethan's phantom, and suddenly threw out an unreal dagger, and this phantom-like dagger pierced through the obstructing blood wall, and accurately inserted it into the countess' heart.
"Although the power that can be used is not much, it is enough to eliminate a guy like you.!"
Seeing that the countess was burned to ashes by the holy flame emanating from the dagger, Ethan waved his hand to Van Helsing who was stunned by the side.
He didn't say anything other than that, he already knew where the next world was, and the two of them would never meet again.
"Unless you can awaken Zanpakuto..."
