Chapter IV
"Enough, you brat. You've been chasing me for three days and three nights.”Dean said as he ran in a wide valley. "I already said that my name is Dean, and I'm a bounty hunter. It's not some damned Dracula. Have you ever seen a vampire come out in broad daylight?”
"Don't call me a brat. I told you my name is Maria.”Maria reiterated.
"I know you're not Dracula, but you appeared in Demon City and pretended to be Dracula to lure me away. Don't even think about escaping, brat. I've already asked Momo to go back and send reinforcements. When the time comes, I'll capture you and torture you to see if you tell the truth.”The moonlight clearly reflected Maria's gnashing expression.
"Y-you." Dean was so angry that he could not say anything.
At this moment, a scream came from afar and interrupted the fight between the two. They looked at each other at the same time, then turned around and ran quickly towards the source of the sound. A vampire was lying on a person's body, sucking blood and gnawing on flesh and bones. Blood dripped down the corner of his disgusting mouth, accompanied by the nauseating sound of bones being chewed in his mouth.
"Wind White Tiger." Maria summoned the saint beast and raised a gust of wind that blew the vampire away.
" Ouch!" The vampire crawled up from the ground, bared his fangs, and roared ferociously," Who dares to disturb my meal?"”
"Isn't it me, the Demon Hunters Association's gold medal assassin?”"You devil, you're unlucky to have met me today. I'll make sure you die a horrible death." Maria said proudly.”
" The Demon Hunters Association has killed many of my companions. I won't let you off." The demon pounced on Ma and attacked her with its long and sharp nails.
Maria pulled out her sword and fought back while summoning the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird to subdue the demon in a few moves. The flames surrounded it and the air was filled with a thick burnt smell.
" Roar! Roar!" The vampire used the last of his strength to spit out a ball of blood from his mouth and flew into the air. The fist-sized blood ball was wrapped in a layer of vine-like things that were slowly squirming outside the blood ball.
Dean saw the blood ball fly out and immediately jumped to catch it, but he was stopped by Maria halfway. The ball of blood exploded mid-air, and a bloody mist with a thick smell of blood quickly spread in all directions. Even the full moon in the sky was covered in a layer of red, turning into a blood moon.
"What are you doing? Don't you know that it will attract all the Vampires around it?”Dean said angrily.
Of course I know." Maria said proudly.
Dean patted his head and asked in confusion," Then why did you stop me? Are you crazy?”
"You're the one who's sick. I want it to attract the other demons so that I can catch them all in one go.”Maria said confidently.
"Do you know how many vampires are around here? You think you can catch them all with that stupid spell of yours? Aren't you overestimating yourself?”Dean said disdainfully.
" That pile of charcoal on the ground, I killed it easily," Maria said provocatively.
Dean pointed at the pile of things on the ground and said," Such a low-level Vampire can be dealt with by any Demon Hunter. If there were a bunch of them, I'll see if you could handle them!”
"Don't underestimate me. I defeated the great vampire Dracula.”Maria shouted.
"I've seen your moves. You have to be more serious when you lie.”
"I really did capture Dracula. I'm not lying.”Maria said anxiously.
"Alright then." "You said you captured Dracula, where is he?" Dean asked, crossing his arms.”
"The guy cast some kind of magic, found a poor substitute and ran away.”Maria said through gritted teeth.
"Then you should have seen what Dracula looks like.”Dean looked as if he was waiting to expose her lie.
"Isn't he just a tall, cool-looking uncle with white hair and red eyes?”"Have you seen Dracula?" Maria asked Dean. Do you know what he looks like?"
"It seems like she really met that old fellow. However, after not seeing him for more than ten years, his mana shouldn't be so weak that he can't even defeat a little girl. Simon only absorbed one-tenth of his magic, and I couldn't even defeat him.”
Dean frowned and thought, You can't even defeat me, so how can you defeat him? Is there a conspiracy behind this?" Dean muttered softly to himself.
"How can I not beat you?" Maria slapped Dean angrily. "You were chased by me for three days and still couldn't escape, yet you still dare to boast shamelessly.”
Dean was racking his brains to think about his father's scheme when he was caught off guard by Maria. He covered his burning cheeks and widened his eyes as he cursed loudly,"You brat, how dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? No one has ever dared to hit me. You're crazy. I was merciful to you because we were in the same industry. I tolerated and avoided you for three days. Y-you're too much."
Dean felt like he was about to explode from anger, but Maria, who did not know what was good for her, still said confidently,"So what if I hit you? Who asked you to speak without restraint? My spells are low? Hmph, my spells are low, so I can enter Demon City alone. No one will dare to stop me. I can seal the Demon City in a barrier, and no one can escape. Can you do it?"
"No one stopped you because I killed the guards.”Dean roared.
"As for that barrier...。Alright, I admit that your sealing magic is pretty good, but that doesn't mean that your other spells are good too. You still don't know the immensity of heaven and earth and stop me from catching the Demon Summoning Blood Ball. If a large number of vampires come without my protection, you'll be in trouble.”
Who needs your protection?" Maria stamped her foot." You self-righteous, arrogant guy. Y-you…"
" Shhh!" Di suddenly rushed to Ma and covered her mouth. He whispered," There are vampires coming here. There are a lot of them and they are fast." Quickly follow me." With that, he grabbed Maria's hand and turned to leave.
"What kind of vampire is there? Why didn't I see any of them?" Maria looked around at the empty valley. Under the cold moonlight, there were only two shadows. The surroundings were so quiet that not even a bird could be seen.
" That's because your spiritual power is too low, so you can't feel it. I felt the number continue to increase just now." Dean pulled her and quickly walked out of the valley.
Maria shook off Dean's hand and said,"If you want to leave, go by yourself. I don't want to run away like you, coward.”
Dean carried Maria on his shoulder and ran away without saying anything. "Hey, w-what are you doing? How can you be so rude to a lady? You bastard, put me down.”Maria waved her small fists and hammered Dean heavily. She also twisted her body uneasily, trying to get off Dean's shoulder.
Dean let Maria play around and grabbed her tightly."Be obedient and stop fooling around. If you don't leave now, it'll be too late. Ah, ah, you're still biting me. Let go, let go.”
Dean threw Maria from his shoulder to the ground and covered her wound. "You don't know what's good for you. I won't care about you anymore.”
Dean made up his mind to ignore her. He saw Maria sitting on the ground with her lips pursed. There was dust on her green clothes. Her eyes were red, and there were tears in them. His heart immediately softened. This girl was really my nemesis. I was the one who was bitten by her, but now I feel like I did something wrong. The longer I spend with her, the less I feel like myself. He could no longer maintain his usual fiery attitude.'
"Hey, are you alright?" Dean walked over and reached out to pull her up.
"You don't have to pretend to be kind, bastard." Maria tried her best to suppress her sobs and slapped Di's hand away.
"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?”Dean asked with concern. Maria turned her head around angrily and ignored him.
Dean stood rooted to the ground, at a loss for what to do. What was wrong with me? I actually apologized to someone. This was really unprecedented. In the past, even if I made a mistake, I would never admit it verbally, let alone apologize to someone. But now, not only did I apologize to her, but I was also afraid that she would ignore me. I was actually afraid that she would ignore me. This-this feeling was too uncomfortable.
"I won't let you go. I want you."。。。。。”
"Hahaha, Dean, you've offended someone again. It seems that there are quite a number of people who won't let you off.”With a sharp laugh, a group of vampires jumped down from the high hill beside the valley and stood firmly.
The group of ugly monsters with sharp mouths and fangs looked like they had just returned from a bloody battle under the red moonlight. The leading demon approached them and said to Maria,"Miss, what did this brat do to you? I'll avenge you." You see, this injury of mine is also because of him. How about we join forces to kill him?？”He pointed at a long scar across his face.
Victor, you're not dead yet?" Dean asked as he moved closer to Maria and shielded her behind him.
Maria stood up and pushed Dean away."I don't need anyone else to interfere in my matters with him, but I'm going to kill all of you demons.”After saying that, she drew her sword and blocked it in front of her chest.
Dean immediately drew his sword and stood behind Maria. He stood back to back and said,"Be careful, there are many of them."
"Get lost, I don't need your help." Maria said in disgust.
"In that case, I'll treat you all as a feast. Let's go, comrades.”
At the command of the one-eyed demon leader, all the impatient vampires pounced on them with drool. The two of them waved their swords and cast spells, killing the demons that approached them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
"You see, defeating them is too easy. You're the only coward, idiot.”Maria said as she fought.
"Don't underestimate the enemy." "The powerful ones aren't there yet," Dean reminded.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another large group of Vampires flew over to join the battle. They bared their teeth and screamed as they spat out streams of green liquid from their bloody mouths. A green water arrow was aimed at Maria. She immediately swung her short sword at the water arrow.
"No!" Dean had been paying attention to Maria during the fight. When he saw that she was about to slash at the green liquid, he immediately rushed in front of Maria and hugged her with his cloak. White smoke rose from the black cloak. Dean quickly took it off and threw it on the ground. In the blink of an eye, only a handful of ashes were left, blown away by the wind in the valley.。。。。。
"Be careful, the water is poisonous." Dean said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, I know." Maria answered with lingering fear.
The demons continued to attack with their poisonous water. The two of them dodged left and right amidst the water arrows that filled the sky.
"There are too many of them. Watch how I deal with them." Maria summoned the white tiger and swept up the water that was shot at them with a strong wind, bouncing it back at the group of demons.
"You can't." Dean was a step too late to stop him.
" Awooo! Awooo! Awoo
"Great, killing so many at once.”Maria said happily.
"Silly girl, look at what you've done!”He quickly took out a mask from his pocket.
" Quick, put it on," he said as he put the mask on her.
"No, why should I wear a mask?”Maria said as she pushed Dean.
"Don't mess around. Those things are poisonous and will evaporate. If you smell them, you'll die.”Dean was so anxious that his hands were trembling.
In the blink of an eye, the thick liquid on the ground evaporated and rose into clouds of green fog, spreading in all directions. Maria, who was wearing a mask, was stunned by what she saw. The fog around them was getting thicker and thicker, and the area of vision was getting smaller and smaller.
The two of them were close together. Even though she was wearing a mask, Maria could still smell the pungent smell. The smell stung her eyes and made her stomach churn. I'm wearing a mask and it's like this. Dean's not wearing a mask.
"Dean, are you okay?" Maria asked with concern.
I didn't expect her to care so much about me. Dean said happily,"Don't worry, my physique is special. I can still withstand this level of poison."
While they were talking, the enemy's third wave of attack was quietly proceeding. Another group of vampires hid under the cover of the fog, relying on their sensitive sense of smell to search for the smell of blood on their prey.
They extended their long and sharp nails and quietly approached Dean and Maria. Dean suddenly felt an invisible pressure approaching him in the thick fog, making his back feel cold and his hair stand on end.
"Be careful, they are in the fog." "I can feel them. There are quite a number of them. They are approaching." Dean said as he leaned close to Maria.”
Maria looked left and right. Other than the thick green fog that couldn't be melted, she couldn't see anything. "This fog is so troublesome. Why don't you let me use magic to blow it away?”Maria felt that it was better to discuss with Dean before using magic again because her self-righteous actions had led to the current situation.
This stubborn girl had learned her lesson this time! Dean thought to himself, but he did not dare to say it. " Sigh." Dean sighed and said," No magic is effective against this poisonous fog. Those guys can only use weapons to kill them. We must not let them touch their own poison. Otherwise, they will become like this. There is no other way but to wait for it to dissipate on its own.
This group of low-level demons isn't scary when there are only a few of them, but once they move out in groups, it will be very troublesome. That's why I told you not to underestimate them and follow me to escape. However, it was useless to say anything now.”
"Isn't that all your fault? Why didn't you tell me earlier?”Maria quibbled.
"Is this my fault?" Dean asked in surprise. "Miss, are you being reasonable? Have you ever given me a chance to explain?”
"Of course it's your fault! It was either you or someone else's fault. In any case, you were in the wrong.”said Maria, stamping her foot.
"Y-you…" Dean was momentarily exasperated.。。。。。Ah, be careful…"
While they were arguing, a group of vampires had already approached them. One of them stretched out its claw-like hands and bared its long fangs at his food, Maria.
Due to Dean's reminder, Maria immediately drew her sword to defend. The demon's sharp claws attacked Maria's neck with a strong wind. She dodged sideways and slashed at the demon's claws with her sword. Clang! The sound of metal clashing was heard when the sword struck the claw.
"Ah!" Maria sucked in a breath of cold air. This monster could actually block her short sword that could cut through gold and jade. It seemed like they were really as Di had said. The powerful ones had all appeared behind them.
While she was still in a daze, the monster grabbed the edge of the short sword with one hand. He approached Maria and hugged her. He opened his mouth and bit the blood vessels on her neck. She used her other hand to block the demon's head as she pulled at the short sword that the demon was holding. She used all her strength to push away the demon's head that was approaching her neck.
"Get lost!" Maria screamed. "No, ah, ah, ah…。。。”
On the other side, Dean, who was fighting with the demon, was anxious when he heard Maria's cry. He raised his sword and slashed at the vampire in front of him with all his strength, cutting it into two. Then, he risked being bitten and jumped out. He flew away from the two demons that were blocking him and Maria. He rolled to the side of the demon that was about to suck Maria's blood. He kicked it to the ground and pierced its heart with his sword.
Dean turned around and quickly stood in front of Maria. He asked anxiously,"How are you? You weren't bitten, right?"”He pushed aside the long hair around her neck and pulled open her collar to see if there was a wound.
"N-no," said Maria, her face red as she clutched her collar.
Dean's worried heart was finally relieved. He turned around and said to the demons around him,"You guys dare to bully my Maria. I'll let you die a horrible death!”After saying that, he attacked the demons around him.
When did I become his Maria? However, he did not feel angry when he said that. Instead, he felt sweet in his heart.
"Dean, let me help you." She flew into the battle and fought alongside Di.
With their tacit cooperation, the number of vampires around them quickly decreased. There were a lot of broken limbs around them, and blood rained on them.
With the demon's final scream, only the heavy breathing of the two could be heard in the short silence.
This was not a solution. Dean thought as he held his groggy head. Although he had a special physique that was half-human and half-vampire and could resist poisonous substances, he still had a toxic reaction after inhaling the poisonous fog for such a long time.
"We have to think of a way to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible while we are under attack. We have to run up the hill. The wind is strong at a high altitude, and it can disperse part of the poisonous fog.”Dean suggested to Maria.
" Hu-hu," Maria panted and said," That's a good suggestion, but they've spent so much effort and killed so many people to trap us in the fog. Now that the enemy was in the dark, it would be very difficult for them to break through.”
I have to try even if it's difficult. I can't hold on much longer. Dean thought.
However, he did not want Maria to be more afraid, so he pretended to be calm and said,"If there's nothing else, just follow me." Dean pulled Maria into the thick fog and ran up the hill.
