Vol V Chapter 48
On the steps of the huge underground arena, Arucha and Licht listened attentively to Simon's story.
I stayed in Demon City to observe these demons every day, but the longer I stayed with them, the more confused I became. Their lives were completely different from what I imagined. First of all, I had never seen Dracula suck human blood. It seemed that he only drank animal blood to satisfy his hunger. As for the other monsters, they directly ate human food. There was no bloody scene like I had imagined.
Secondly, I can only describe Dracula as the lord of Transwania with one word-good. He is a hundred times better than any ordinary human lord. Every day, he deals with a large number of documents and matters. Moreover, Transwania is the only place I know that doesn't have any taxes. The people here live peacefully and richly. They all respect their vampire lord, and no one is afraid of him or his monster subordinates. There were even many foreigners who chose to stay in Transwania. In their hearts, it was heaven.
Dracula usually stayed in Demon City and rarely went out. Sometimes, I would follow Alubis or other people out of the city to see how they dealt with the affairs of their territory. Wherever they went, people would welcome them. These ugly demons didn't extinguish the love and affection people had for them at all, and they also got along well with humans. I would never have dreamed of such a scene. It was unbelievable that humans and demons could live happily together. I couldn't help but admire Dracula's extraordinary abilities.
Unknowingly, I fell in love with this demon city and the monsters in it. They treated me and all my companions equally. The people in the city were like family. Everyone helped each other and never schemed against each other. Sometimes, I felt that they were more innocent and kinder than humans, even though they looked evil.
I remember something that happened that summer that completely shook my determination to destroy the demon city. That year, the rainy season was particularly long, and the Danube River's water flow increased greatly. Part of the tributaries flooded. That night, the flood peak passed through a small town in Transwania. It was located in a low-lying area, and if it was allowed to pass through, the town and its people would be reduced to nothing.
Dracula had been paying attention to this matter. "Master, the town is in danger.”A soldier hurried over to report.
Dracula stood up, and everyone set off.
"Darling, be careful." Songya put the cloak on him.
"Don't worry, baby. I'll be back in a while.”Dracula waved his hand and led a large group of people out of the city.
The torrential rain and strong winds had intensified the water flow, and a few places had already burst. "Everyone, take your positions." Dracula ordered.
The snow maiden Ariel led her clansmen to use ice magic to freeze the river water at the crevasse. The murloc Augustine led his subordinates to jump into the river to save the people who had been washed into the water. The other demons used their abilities to divert the water.
Dracula and Alubis were able to resist the mudslide brought about by the torrential rain with their own strength. The large amount of sand and mud on the mountain was forced back by the two of them and could not flow down. One of them had huge reddish-black bat wings, while the other had black wings. They flew in the air and raised their powerful spiritual power to the highest level. Golden and green lights surrounded them, and the powerful airflow blocked the power of nature.
I was dumbstruck. These two people were like angels from the stories of the Bible. They could actually fight against the power of nature.
"Haaah." The light on Dracula's body increased exponentially. He raised the mudslide above his head with one hand and clawed at the mountain peak with the other.
The rumbling airflow blew some weak demons into the air. The entire mountain was split in half by him, and the mudslide fell directly into the split mountain and flowed into the river through the ditch that Dracula had opened. A crisis was easily resolved by him.
The humans and demons hugged and cheered as Dracula and Alubis slowly descended.
"Well done." Dracula patted Aleubis on the shoulder.
"Ha, with our cooperation, nothing can stump us.”Alubis also rested his hand on Dracula's shoulder.
"Hey, Simon brat, how is it?”Alubis patted me, who was so shocked that I couldn't speak. "When do you think you can destroy us?”
"Hahaha." They laughed loudly and my face turned red. Yes, no matter how hard I train, I'm no match for them. Most importantly, I don't seem to be obsessed with destroying them anymore.
"Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and go home. I don't want you to continue being drenched.”Alubis placed his hand on my shoulder and pushed me forward.
And Dracula actually joined in. He also put his hand on my shoulder. I was carried home by them. Home? When did I start treating Devil City as my home? I actually didn't resist them. On the contrary, I was very happy to be with them. I felt honored to be able to walk side by side with these two people. They treated me as a friend, and I finally reached out my hand to put it on their shoulders. For the first time, the three of us laughed as we walked side by side.
In fact, ever since I infiltrated Demon City, I have been in contact with the Demon Hunters Association. I have been in Demon City for a few years, so I know its internal structure like the back of my hand. I have also drawn a map and handed it to the contact person.
During the day, I snuck out of the Demon City when the people were resting according to the master's schedule. Usually, the guards were the least at this time. However, I waited at the contact point for a long time, but the contact person did not appear. I waited until the moon came out before he arrived.
"Simon, what's wrong with you?" Winston, the person who contacted me, complained. "I've been contacting you less and less recently. I've sent you signals, but you didn't reply.”
I didn't expect him to take the initiative to make me wait for so long and blame me instead. Of course, I couldn't tell him that I didn't want to contact him at all. She could only pretend to be apologetic and say,"During this period of time, they have been watching me very closely and I have not had the chance to come out.”
"Why do they suspect you?" Winston asked hurriedly.”
"Not really."
"Oh, that's good." Winston heaved a sigh of relief." Simon, I don't think you'll be able to find any valuable information there. Why don't you come back?"”
I said anxiously,"No, I mean, they seem to be planning something. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."”
"No need." Winston smiled strangely. "In fact, we have heard that your plan to go deep into the city has been very successful. It seems that the people of the Demon City have already treated you as one of their own. They are not on guard against you. We have already sent a bottle of wine mixed with the holy water to Dracula in your name. This time, as long as you go back and guarantee that he will drink the wine, he will definitely die. As long as you eliminate the minions of Dracula's Demon City, there will be no more talk.”
"Why didn't you tell me that you were sending wine in my name?”I grabbed Winston with an expression as if I wanted to eat him up.
"Didn't I tell you now? Don't worry, they won't suspect you.”Winston was still smiling strangely.
"Y-you." I let go of him and rushed back to Demon City.
"Simon, remember to watch him drink it and come back early. The Demon Hunters Association and your son are waiting for you.”Winston said loudly behind me, but I couldn't listen to him at all. There was only one thought in my mind-to go back quickly, hoping that I could make it in time.
Winston deliberately made me wait there. It's already night time, and if Dracula wakes up, what if he-he…I don't dare to imagine why Winston would do that. Could it be that he saw through something? My mind was filled with thoughts as I finally made it back to Demon City.
I rushed into the Demon City and saw the guard. I hurriedly asked,"Alexander, is the Count awake?”
Alexander was quite happy to see me."Simon, why are you in such a hurry? Master has woken up long ago. Oh right, where have you been? I haven't seen you all day?”I didn't have time to answer his question. I rushed upstairs anxiously.
I rushed into the penthouse and Sonya looked at me with a smile. "Simon, the wine you sent is really good. You should try it too.”
"That's right." Alubis patted me. "Where did you go, kid? Why are you so anxious? Did you do something shameful?”
"Me? Where is the Earl?" I just want to find him as soon as possible.
"Are you looking for me?" Dracula said from behind me. I turned around and saw him raising his wine glass to take a sip.
"I don't want to." I hurriedly knocked over my wine glass, but I was still a step too late. The holy water slid into Dracula's stomach, and he immediately clutched his stomach. He sat on the ground in pain.
"Uh-huh." He couldn't make a sound. His vocal cords must have been corroded by the holy water.
"My dear." "Master." Sonya and Aliubis quickly supported him.
"Uhh, pfft." Dracula spat out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs were being corroded, and he fell into Sonya's arms.
"What's going on?" Alubis tugged at my collar. "What's in your wine? Why did Master become like this after drinking it?”
I said anxiously,"There's holy water in there."”
"What do you mean by giving Master holy water? You bastard, I'll kill you.”Aliubis 'fist landed on my body, but I forgot to resist. It shouldn't be that I didn't want to resist. After a few punches, my nose was bleeding and my teeth were loose.
"Alubis, stop fighting. He's dying. Get Shawn here, quick.”Song Ya said with tears streaming down her face.
"I'll deal with you later.”Alubis flew out.
"Darling, you can't die. You have to hold on. Sean is coming soon. Don't leave me." Sonya's tears fell on Dracula's hand, but he did not react at all. There was only a large amount of blood flowing down the corner of his mouth.
"Why?" Sonya looked at me with tears in her eyes. "We have always treated you as a friend. Why did you do this? After spending so many days with us, do you still think we are demons?”
"I-I didn't. It wasn't me. I didn't want to." I rushed over and tried my best to explain, but no explanation was enough.
"Uh-huh." Dracula's entire body began to twitch. His body began to change.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Song Ya tried her best to hold him tight.
I looked at this stranger in surprise. "What's going on with him?"
"He can no longer maintain his transformation ability. This is his true appearance. He's dying. Please save him.”Sonya looked at me, searching for her last hope.
I-what could I do? I rubbed my hands anxiously. Oh right, I had a flash of inspiration. Holy water doesn't affect me. I quickly supported Dracula and used my spiritual power to gather the holy water in his body. I tried my best to sense the flow in his body and guide it out of Dracula's body.
It took a lot of effort, and my ling power was quickly consumed. I managed to draw the holy water back down his throat with great difficulty. I hurriedly used my mouth to suck the holy water out of his mouth. The holy water and the smell of blood entered my mouth. I smeared it out.
"Phew." Dracula exhaled heavily. He opened his eyes and looked at me, then his head tilted and fell into my arms again.
"Sean, hurry up. Master is dying.”Alubis dragged Sean and flew into the penthouse.
Sean went up to Dracula and examined him carefully.
"Why are you hugging Master? Haven't you harmed him enough? Let him go." Alubis attacked me again.
"Alubis, don't hit him. He saved Dracula just now.”Sonya stopped Alubis from hitting me.
"He will save Master. He won't be so kind. Otherwise, why would he give Master holy water?”Alubis said angrily.
"Alubis." Sean turned around and said," He did save Master. The holy water in his body has been sucked out, so he'll be fine for the time being. However, the burns on his body are very serious, and he won't recover for a while. Fortunately, Simon isn't affected by the holy water, and his spiritual power is strong enough. Otherwise, we would have to collect Master's corpse."”
Sean came to me. "Thank you, Simon. Your injuries are quite serious. Let me treat them for you.”
"What are you thanking me for?" Alubis pushed Sean away. "If it wasn't for his master, why would he suffer like this? If he tortures his master, I will torture him.”
I slowly stood up and said," Thank you, Shawn. I'm fine. Take good care of the Earl. I'm sorry, Madam. I'm leaving."”I tried my best to hold myself up from falling. Step by step, he moved towards the door. I couldn't walk anymore after I stepped out of the penthouse. My vision went black and I didn't know anything.
