the second chapter
A full moon hung high in the sky. Under the bright moonlight, a tall and strong black horse carried a tall and slender young man and galloped towards the top of Mark Webber's mountain.
The tall cedar trees on the side of the road quickly swept backward. The bright moonlight illuminated the boy's appearance very clearly. He had long black hair, and the curly waves fell on his shoulders. He had curved eyebrows, bright eyes, a tall and straight nose, and a slightly upturned mouth. Even if there was no expression on his face, people would think that he was smiling at you.
His exquisite facial features coupled with his fair skin made him look indescribably handsome. In addition, his pale green eyes emitted a faint glow under the moonlight. He was dressed in a pitch-black tight-fitting suit that matched his slender and slightly thin body. God, he was so handsome.
The Demon City was already in front of them. The drawbridge on the moat at the city gate was slowly rising, and smoke lingered on the river. Under the moonlight, the Demon City looked like a huge demon beast entrenched on the top of the mountain. Other than the moat at the main gate, the three sides of the castle were steep cliffs. Looking down, one could not see the bottom of the black abyss.
The handsome man in black jumped over the city gate and landed lightly in the city. A few bats were startled and flew up. He quickly passed through the long corridor in the city, jumped up the high steps, and killed all the guards with lightning speed. He entered the sky garden in the upper part of the castle with familiarity.
In the middle of the huge garden stood a tombstone, surrounded by countless blooming flowers. A few white pigeons were scattered everywhere, and the big clock not far away was ringing in the wind.
"I'm back to see you, Mother." The handsome man took out a white lily from the inner pocket of his cloak and placed it in front of the grave. A fragrance assailed his nose. He knelt on one knee in front of the tombstone and gently wiped the originally spotless tombstone with one hand.
Two big words were written on the tombstone: Song Ya. It turned out that the boy in black was Count Dracula and his wife, Sonya's only son. Dean.
At the same time, on the other side of the castle, a black shadow was entering the city through the secret passage of the city moat. A small boat carrying a black shadow slowly glided in the underground river and stopped in front of an underground waterfall. The black shadow flew out of the chain and hooked onto the stalactite hanging upside down on the top of the cave above the waterfall. With a force, it gently climbed up the waterfall and stepped on the rapid water flow to swim in the direction of the secret passage.
The black shadow that had passed through the secret passage stopped in the middle of the courtyard after entering the city. Through the brightly lit candlelight in the courtyard, one could see that the black shadow was actually a charming young girl. The tall figure and the green tights accentuated her curvaceous body. Coupled with her charming facial features and knee-length curly hair, the girl looked like a beautiful and exquisite porcelain doll.
"It's up to you, Momo. Go find him.”The girl took out a small white owl from her bosom.
Chirp, chirp. Momo circled the girl's head for a few rounds before flying forward. The girl quietly followed the owl.
" Chirp chirp." Momo circled in an empty corridor, unwilling to leave for a long time.”
"Is it here, Momo? But there's nothing here.”The young girl gasped for breath and said,"This broken castle is too big. I'm so tired that I'm afraid I won't have the strength to find him."”
Momo landed in front of a wall. "Is it really here? Did you smell it wrong? There's nothing here other than this wall?”The girl said as she knocked on the wall.
Chirp, chirp. Momo dragged out a long note as if confidently telling its owner that this was the place.
"Then let's look carefully." The girl began to search anxiously.
She searched the corridor carefully from top to bottom, not letting go of any suspicious places. Then, her gaze fell on a embossed on the floor tiles of the corridor. Under careful observation, the eyes of the stone bat seemed to have a faint black light emerging.
The girl used her slender fingers to gently tap on the stone bat's eyes. The wall behind her silently opened, revealing a long corridor that extended downward. At the same time, the candles on both sides of the corridor automatically lit up.
"Shh…" The girl extended her index finger and gestured for Momo to keep quiet. He stuffed it back into his arms and tiptoed down.
At this moment, Count Dracula, who was lying in the coffin, also sensed the invasion of the unknown object. He immediately got up from the coffin and hid in the shadow of the vertical hexagonal coffin.
"Wow! What a huge coffin. It should be here.”the girl said excitedly. She quickly walked to the coffin and pulled open the lid carved with bat patterns, but found that there was no one inside.
"What's going on? Where did that old fellow go?" The girl was a little disappointed.
Since he couldn't find him, he might as well burn down his nest to vent his anger. Thus, the girl formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation to summon the Vermilion Bird of Fire.
This time, the earl who was hiding in the dark could not hold back anymore. He walked out of the shadows." Stop, little girl! I've already killed a member of the Demon Hunters Association today, don't force me to kill another one.”
"Harvey is dead? No wonder he didn't reply after waiting for so long. I'm going to kill you to avenge him!" The young girl said in exasperation.
"A little girl like you dares to speak so arrogantly.”said the count, smiling contemptuously.
"Then you can try. Azure Water Dragon!" A green dragon flew towards the earl with a powerful stream of water.
Normally, Dracula would have been able to neutralize an attack of this level with a pinky finger, but he was now poisoned to the point where he could barely stand up. He had no choice but to lean sideways and brush past the water. Even so, the wound opened up again. Dracula held his wound and panted heavily.
"Haha, it seems that the powerful and terrifying demons that people speak of are only so-so.”
The young girl said proudly,"Watch how I subdue you, vampire." A black turtle descended from the sky and retracted its limbs into its shell, turning into a huge net that covered the Earl.
Dracula tried to use his spiritual power to resist, but the spiritual power in his body seemed to have sunk into the sea. He could not use it at all and could only let the huge net trap him. I'm done for. I didn't expect my reputation to be destroyed by a little girl.
"I actually subdued you, you big devil!" The young girl said excitedly,"You're so powerful!""I'm going to capture you and bring you back to the Demon Hunters Association for the elders to deal with you, but first let me take a closer look at what the Great Demon King looks like.”After saying that, the girl lowered her head and looked at her spoils of war.
Our great Earl is now like a fish caught in a net, admired by everyone. Dracula had a head of long, curly silver hair, red pupils, and a well-defined face. With his nearly two-meter-tall, burly figure, he looked like a mighty, cold, middle-aged man. He was not a hundred-year-old old man like the rumors said.
The girl looked thin and weak, but her strength was astonishing. In an instant, she carried the earl and the net on her shoulders and flew out of the city. Along the way, they passed through the houses and tiles as if they were walking on flat ground." What good luck. There's not a single guard." The girl was glad of her good luck.
However, the Earl on his back was not so lucky. He had used up the last of his spiritual energy in the battle just now, and now he could not even maintain the most basic transformation magic.
The girl ran out of the castle and down the mountain. Suddenly, she felt that the thing on her back had become lighter. She turned her head and saw that the net was covered in a cloud of smoke. She immediately put down the net to disperse the smoke and looked at what had happened. Just a moment ago, it was still a burly man. Why had it changed?
A young man was sitting in the net. His long golden hair was tied up in a ponytail, leaving only a few strands of hair floating in front of him. He had long, thin eyebrows, long, curly eyelashes, light green eyes, a straight nose, a sharp nose, and a small, red mouth. Her delicate facial features would make any woman envious. If she wasn't wearing a man's outfit, she might have mistaken him for her.
Heavens, there was actually such an unbelievably beautiful man and woman in the world. "Who are you? How did you end up in my net? Where is Count Dracula?”
Isn't he sitting right in front of you? The Earl said in his heart, but his mouth was tightly shut. He only shook his head gently.
"Don't you know? Or do you not know how to speak?" the young girl asked softly.
Do I dare to speak? If I open my mouth and show my fangs, you will immediately know that I am a vampire. Dracula continued to shake his head.
" I know." The girl said loudly and rubbed her hands back and forth.
Oh no, he helped the Earl.
"You are the substitute that the Earl found, and he left you here as a scapegoat to escape. How pitiful!”"I really admire my reasoning ability," the girl said."This must be the case.”
He could finally put his heart at ease. He nodded vigorously to confirm the girl's deduction.
"That cunning fellow, I'm going back to find him. You should quickly escape and not let the demons catch you again.”
With that, the girl untied the net and pulled the man up. He was so light. The girl sized up the thin man. He didn't seem to be much taller than her, who was 1.76 meters tall. The more she looked at him, the more she looked like a girl.
"Let's go. We're already at the foot of the mountain. There's a village not far ahead.”After saying that, the girl ran up the mountain without looking back. Dracula was left standing there in a daze.
After the girl ran far away, he finally realized that he had somehow dodged a bullet. He used his sleeve to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead.
What should he do now? Dracula stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up. The cold mountain wind in the valley hit him, making him shiver. Let's go home? Without any spiritual power, he would probably need three days and three nights to climb up the mountain. If he didn't go back, the sun would rise soon. Once the sun rose, he would be burnt to a crisp. The subordinates in Ni City probably didn't know that their master had been kidnapped. When they came to rescue him, even the flowers would wither.
It seemed that he could only hide in the village at the foot of the mountain and wait for his magic power to recover. Moreover, if he went back like this, he might be beaten out by the loyal servants who did not know the truth.
Having made up his mind, Dracula trudged toward the small village with great difficulty. The journey that was usually very short could not end today. He, who usually flew in and out, finally felt the difficulty of walking on foot.
Dirk, who felt like he had been walking for half a century, finally entered a small village with only a few families before the sun rose.
His legs felt like they were filled with lead. Every step he took pulled at the wound. He could only inhale to relieve the pain. His body was on the verge of collapse, and his vision began to blur. His clothes were soaked in sweat and blood.
Dracula knew that he could not hold on any longer. A dilapidated stable with a sparse thatched roof appeared in front of him, and the stones inside were exposed under the peeling walls. There was a pungent smell of hay and horse manure scattered all over the stable, and some bugs crawled over his feet. The Earl, who had always been obsessed with cleanliness, looked at the gradually brightening sky in the east and couldn't care less about it. He mustered his remaining strength and walked in. He fell onto a pile of hay.
On the other hand, after Dean paid his respects to his mother, he went straight to the hanging building that extended out from the top of the castle.
"You're here again, Dean. Are you still unwilling to give up?”A handsome man blocked his way.
"Don't waste your breath, Luo Lan. I'm going to defeat you today, and then I'll go to Ni City to find that old man and take revenge for killing my mother.”Dean said arrogantly.
"What nonsense are you spouting, old man? He is your father.”Luo Lan said angrily. I don't want to waste time. Let's start."
Dean unsheathed the longsword at his waist and attacked Luo Lan with a gust of wind. Luo Lan also pulled out the long whip at his waist and fought with Di's longsword.
The two of them jumped up and down in the aisle leading to the penthouse. The narrow aisle was unobstructed, and the huge square in front of the main gate of the castle was directly below. The height of dozens of floors made the aisle of the penthouse pass through the clouds. Looking down, many giant sculptures on the square were just a few faint black spots.
A strong gust of wind blew through their sleeves, causing their cloaks to bulge. The two of them, who were standing on the stone bats by the aisle, looked as if they were about to collapse. However, the two of them were fearless as they fought, sword lights and whip shadows coming and going. After hundreds of rounds of intense battle, Luo Lan finally found a flaw and used his whip to knock Di's longsword away.
"You lost again. Come back next year.”Luo Lan looked at him calmly.
Dean bent down to pick up the sword and said angrily,"I will definitely beat you next time."
"Ha, I think I've heard this more than ten times.”Luo Lan said with a smile.
"It's true this time." Dean turned around and left with a flushed face.
Luo Lan watched him leave as he muttered to himself,"This kid is getting more and more powerful. Maybe I'll really lose to him next year."?I still have to practice harder."
"Dracula, you're still running away." A female voice came from behind Dean.
He turned around and saw a green ball with a silver light coming at him. He quickly pulled out his sword to block the silver light.
When he focused his eyes, he saw a girl who looked like a porcelain doll sizing him up with wide eyes. The funniest thing was that there was an owl on her head.
"Who are you?" Dean was very curious. He didn't remember that there was such a person in Demon City.
"I'm Skally." The girl blurted out," Tsk, why should I tell you! You, the great devil, actually found a human as a scapegoat and ran away yourself. You're too hateful.”
Dean was confused by the girl's scolding. "Do I know you?"
"Stop pretending to be Dracula. The fragrance of the lilies on your body has already betrayed you.”Scarlet said proudly.
"You're mistaken. The fragrance of flowers on my body is for me to bring flowers to worship my mother. I'm not Dracula." Dean himself felt that it was strange. Why did I have to explain so much to this girl? This wasn't like the usual me.
"I don't believe it. You're so old and cunning that I have to bring you back to the Demon Hunters Association's headquarters.”
"You're from the Demon Hunters Association, and I'm bounty hunter Dean. We can be considered half peers.”
"Stop lying. I won't fall for your tricks again.”After saying that, Scarborough stabbed at Dean with her short sword.
Dean used his sword to block while retreating.
"You are too unreasonable. I already said that I am not Dracula. If you continue to be so unreasonable, don't blame me for being merciless.”
Although Dean said that, he held back. For some reason, he just couldn't be ruthless to the girl in front of him. Even if the girl's skill was like a three-legged cat, he could resolve it with one hand, and even if he was never a person who had tender feelings for women. He could only retreat step by step.
Scaly waved her short sword and said disdainfully,"It's too shameless for a defeated opponent to speak arrogantly.”
" You!" Dean was so angry that he had nothing to say. He didn't want to be entangled with her anymore. He forced Skali to retreat with his sword, turned around, and ran out of the city.”
" Don't run!" Scarlet followed closely behind.
"What happened?" said Luo Lan, who had rushed over after hearing the sounds of fighting.
"You actually called for reinforcements. Watch how I deal with your minions.”As she spoke, she formed a hand seal, and the four holy beasts gathered in the enchantment.
In the sky, four divine beasts appeared. They were a dragon, a tiger, a phoenix, and a turtle. They each sat on one side and raised a barrier to cover the entire Demon City. Luo Lan had just rushed over when he was sent flying by the powerful airflow of the barrier and landed heavily on the ground. He watched as the black and green light figures left.
