Chapter IX
On the main road leading to the headquarters of the Melsa Demon Hunters Association, a white horse was carrying Dean and Scarrie as they walked slowly. He held her slender waist and enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the road.
Large patches of grass extended into the mountains in the distance, and the lush mountains in the distance stretched as far as the eye could see. Together with the blue sky and the white clouds, it was like a beautiful landscape painting.
The sun was shining warmly on them. There were many cows and sheep grazing leisurely on the grass. It seemed that even they were enjoying the picturesque scenery. A warm breeze blew past, blowing the petals of many unknown wildflowers mixed in the grass. The petals flew around them.
Skally raised her hand to catch some petals and put them in front of her nose to smell."It smells so good!" said Scarley, taking a deep breath.
"Mmm, it smells really good. It's just a little itchy.”Di lowered his head and sniffed Skally's knee-length blonde hair. A few strands of hair brushed against his face in the breeze.
"Itchy? What are you talking about?" Skally turned her head and asked curiously.
Dean picked up a handful of her hair and said,"Of course I'm talking about it." After saying that, he didn't forget to bury his face in the air and sniff it hard.
Skally pinched Dean's dishonest hand hard."Annoying, they're saying that these flowers are so fragrant. What are you talking about? Your claws have never left my waist the entire way. You have to rest after walking for a short while. I told you not to go back to the headquarters with me, but you refused.”
Dean rubbed his hands and said,"It hurts. Miss, are you addicted to pinching people?" Look, my hands are bruised.”
"You deserve it." said Skally through gritted teeth.
Dean shook his head helplessly and said," When we set off, Dr. Lussef said that my injuries were so serious that ordinary people would have died long ago. Only a strong person like me could survive.
He originally wanted me to continue recuperating for a period of time before setting off, but since you insisted on returning to the Demon Hunters Association headquarters, I had no choice but to go with you. So the doctor told me to take note of my rest along the way and not to be too tired.”
Actually, Dean didn't want Skally to leave him and go back, so he tried his best to stall for time, even if it meant staying with her for one more day.
Carrie pouted and said," Stop pretending. The doctor is talking about ordinary people. Your vitality is even stronger than a cockroach. You don't need to rest because your skin is so thick. Besides, didn't I say that I could go back by myself? You're the one who insisted on following me.”
Dean blushed, which was rare, and said," I-I wanted to go to the Demon Hunters Association's headquarters to borrow your internal vampire information to take a look. You know that I'm a bounty hunter, and the information at your headquarters can provide me with more opportunities to make money!”
Scarborough ignored him angrily. She pinched the horse's stomach hard, wanting it to run faster, but the white horse continued to pace slowly.
"What's wrong with Doctor Lussef's horse? It's as slow as you are.”Scarlet put down the reins and dismounted, walking away.
Dean also quickly dismounted and held the reins as he caught up to Scarrie."Miss, why are you walking so fast? Look at the beautiful scenery around us. Why don't we stop and admire it before leaving?”
"If you want to admire it, you can admire it yourself. I don't have time to accompany you. As the Guardian Saintess of the Demon Hunters Association, I have to go back as soon as possible after leaving the headquarters for such a long time. Moreover, I asked Momo to go back and send a letter saying that I'm capturing Dracula and need reinforcements.”said Skally anxiously.
"You have to guard the Demon Hunters Association for a thousand years. It was just that they had slipped out for a month. They wouldn't mind. It wasn't easy for them to get out, so they didn't have to rush back.”
Skally shook off his hand and continued on her way.
"Don't, Scarlie...。。。。”Dean suddenly wrapped his arms around himself and squatted on the ground.
Skally heard Dean's moans but didn't stop. This guy is doing this again. I won't fall for your trick so easily! She continued to walk a few dozen steps.
Hmm? He still hasn't caught up yet. Usually, when I expose a scam, he'll always come quickly. Skally, who was getting impatient, finally turned around to look at Dean.
He was sitting on the ground, curled up and shivering. "Hey, stop pretending. I've already seen through your tricks. It's useless.”Scarlet said slowly.
Dean didn't reply to Scari. He just hugged himself tightly and kept trembling.
"Dean, what's wrong? Your face is so pale!" Scarrie felt that something was wrong. She quickly ran back to Dean's side.
Dean's teeth chattered as he said,"I-I'm, I-I'm fine."
"You're already shaking like this, and you still say you're fine? I'd better help you to that big tree to rest.”After saying that, Scarlet helped Dean up and walked under a big tree by the roadside.
"Wow, your body is so cold. I can't even feel your body temperature. What's wrong with you?”Dean only shook his head. The two of them came to the tree and Scarborough picked up some wood from the surroundings to order the Vermilion Bird to light a bonfire. She then took out a blanket from her luggage and draped it over Dean.
"How is it now? Are you feeling better?" Skally asked with concern. Dean breathed out white steam and nodded with his teeth chattering.
"Sigh, I really can't do anything about you. You only know how to find trouble for me.”Skally complained, but her movements were very fast. She came to Dean's side and hugged him gently, pressing her face against Dean's face.
"You're already frozen to this extent and you still want to show off.。。。。。”
When Dean woke up, the moon was already high in the sky. The moon was so bright tonight! Hmm? Wait, the moon was round and bright.
"Do you know what day it is today?" Dean quickly turned around and asked Scali.”
"September 21st. Why are you asking? Are you feeling better?”Skally asked curiously and used her hand to check his body temperature.
Oh no, how could I forget that today is my birthday? It turned out that Dean's birthday was his saddest day every year. Ever since he turned 16, the power of the Blood Breed in his body would multiply on his birthday, and his human consciousness would greatly weaken. This was what made Dean the most afraid. He did not know what he would become and what terrible things he would do when he completely lost his human consciousness.
Therefore, Dean would always find a place where no one would disturb him on his birthday every year. He would lock himself up until the restless demon blood in his body calmed down before he dared to let him out. He had been with Skali these days. So many things had happened, and he had been seriously injured. A month had passed without him realizing it. He had actually forgotten such an important matter.
"Dean, why is your body temperature getting lower and lower? Your body is so cold, and your face is so pale.”Skally asked him worriedly.
These symptoms were the precursor to the increase in the power of the demon blood. Dean pretended to be relaxed and said," I'm fine. It's just that the weather today is a little cold. It seems that I'm not suitable for a long journey, so I decided to stay and have a good rest. Since you're in such a hurry to go back, I think you should set off quickly!”
"You want me to abandon you and go back to the headquarters at this late hour? Do you think I'll agree?" said Scarlet angrily.
Dean shrugged and spread out his hands."This place isn't far from the Demon Hunters Association. With your skills and your personality, as long as you don't cause trouble for others, you'll reach your destination very quickly. Besides, if no one is around to disturb me, my injuries will heal faster. I'll go to the headquarters to look for you in a few days.”
Skally didn't answer Dean. She just stood up and walked to their mounts to take out a bottle of potion from her luggage. "I think you're feeling cold because you lost too much blood. This medicine was given to me by Lucifer before we set off. He said it can help you replenish your blood.”After saying that, Skally handed the bottle to Dean.
Dean pushed the bottle away and said,"I don't need to take medicine. You're still fast."。。。。。”
"Shut up. Just drink it when I tell you to. Look at you, you're shivering from the cold and you still dare to act tough. Do you want me to force you to drink it?”Skally scolded him loudly.
Dean looked at the furious Scarborough. Her already big eyes were now staring at Dean with even wider eyes. He was so scared that he quickly picked up the medicine bottle without saying a word. He opened the cork and drank all the medicine inside, not leaving a single drop.
Then, Dean said to Skally with a smile on his face,"You see, I've already drunk it all. Now you can be at ease.。。。。。”
Dean suddenly felt the devil blood in his body begin to run around uncontrollably, and the bloodthirsty demonic nature buried deep in his body was breaking out.
"What is this medicine made of?”Dean suppressed the urge in his body and asked.
"The doctor said that he asked a hunter friend to get some black bear blood and add some medicinal herbs. According to him, this is a special medicine to treat blood loss. It seems that this medicine is really effective. Look at your face, it's red, and your forehead is still sweating.”said Skally happily.
"Oh no, I actually drank blood. What should I do? With my bloodthirsty physique and drinking blood, this is a big deal.
Dean felt that the abnormal movements in his body were becoming more frequent. His heart felt as if a pair of hands were pressing down on it tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe. His heartbeat was also getting slower and slower, and his brain seemed to be being stirred by someone with a stick, making his head swell and his consciousness blurry. Only the nerves in his nose became sensitive. He could smell the thick smell of blood in the air. This smell deeply stimulated his thirsty throat and hungry stomach.
Dean was trying his best to resist his demonic nature. He tried his best to stay awake and said to Scarlet,"Scarlet, quickly leave this place. The further the better.”
She walked towards Dean with a blank expression and wiped the sweat off his forehead with concern.
"Dean, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry for me to leave? Is there something dangerous coming?”
The smell of blood brought by Skally's approach to Dean made his already fragile nerves even more overwhelmed. He shook off Skally's hand that was wiping his sweat and pushed her away forcefully."Go away, don't touch me." Dean was practically roaring.
He pushed her to the ground. With tears in her eyes, she said,"Why do you want me to leave? I won't leave. I want to stay with you. I won't let you bear all the danger alone again.”
Dean used his last shred of rationality to say to Scarrie,"I can't control myself anymore. I beg you, leave me quickly. I'll bring you a lot of harm.”
"I don't want it, I don't want it…。”Skally rushed to Dean's side and hugged him. She shook her head desperately and said in a choked voice.
This time, Dean could no longer control himself. His demonic nature, which had just tasted the sweet taste of blood, was out of control. He raised his head and shouted mournfully, scaring Scarrie into letting go of her hands and retreating involuntarily. She saw Dean's pupils turn into a thin line, two long sharp teeth growing out of his mouth, the nails on his hands becoming longer and longer, and even two sharp horns growing out of his ears.
This appearance was too familiar to Skally. Wasn't this the appearance of the vampires she had been hunting? How did Dean become like this? Could he be a vampire? No, this was impossible. She had been with him for so long and had never seen him suck blood. He ate human food, and he could walk under the sun. How could a vampire do all of this? But what was wrong with her current appearance? The stunned Skali only opened her mouth wide and stood rooted to the ground.
Dean, who had already lost his mind, rushed in front of Skally and grabbed her shoulder. His sharp claws tore through Skally's clothes and pierced into her flesh. She screamed in pain. It was this scream that awakened Dean's remaining consciousness. He let go of Skally and raised his hand to see the red under his nails. He then looked at Skally and saw her holding her shoulder in pain. A few streams of blood flowed out from the gaps between her fingers.
What am I doing? How could I hurt her? I actually caused her to bleed, bleed, bleed.。。。。。Dean took advantage of the fact that he still had some rationality and spread his huge black wings to fly into the sky. He turned around and looked at Scari again. Then, he quickly flew towards the place where the moon rose, leaving Scari standing there alone.
So the pair of beautiful bat wings I saw when I was unconscious were his. It seems that Dean is really a vampire. You actually dared to lie to me and swaggered away in front of me. I won't let you disappear just like that. Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will capture you. You'd better not do bad things or else even you won't hesitate to hunt you down.
Skally jumped on the back of the horse and chased after Dean. The trees along the way flew past her quickly. To kill Dean without hesitation, can I really do that? Can I really kill this man who is willing to sacrifice his life for me?
Scarlet shook her head hard. She didn't know the answer either. She only knew that she couldn't let Di disappear from her life force. She had to find him again no matter what. At this moment, Dean flew into a cave and used his spiritual power to knock down the rocks at the entrance of the cave to block it. Then, he covered his body with his huge wings and curled up in the deepest part of the cave.。。。。。
