Chapter VII
It had been 17 days since Count Dracula had disappeared from the Demon City. The Demon City on the peak of Transwania Mountain was still firmly sealed by the seal made by the four mythical beasts.
The castle that towered into the clouds was completely surrounded by a ball of light. Not even a bug could fly in. Inside the castle, a large number of demons were using their special abilities to attack the light screen with all their might, hoping to break out of the seal as soon as possible.
Some snow maidens were attacking the seal at the city gate with freezing magic, while a large number of hellhounds were scattered on the city wall, spraying flames at the light screen. The half-human half-fish fish demons were responsible for the seal at the sewers, and their water arrows were constantly shooting at the light screen. In the Space Garden, a large group of winged armored soldiers were stabbing the seal above their heads with spears.
The other witches, demons, skeleton soldiers, and even the prisoners in the city joined in the battle. They took out their magic treasures and attacked the light screen from every corner of the city.
Fireballs, water bombs, icicles, lightning strikes, and even powerful tornadoes were everywhere in the city. These powerful attacks did not have much effect on removing the seal. Instead, they caused the centuries-old demon city to become a mess, and the walls shook.
Simon, who was standing on the pathway leading to the penthouse on the top of the city, watched as a large group of demons attacked like headless flies. Not only did their frenzied attacks not cause the seal to collapse, but they also looked like a demolition team that wanted to forcefully demolish the castle.
If this continued, the Demon City would be destroyed by these bastards. He had to stop them as soon as possible. After making up his mind, Simon ran straight to the main hall of the penthouse.
Aleubis was hacking at the light screen with his scythe at the entrance of the palace. Simon ran up and grabbed Aleubis's scythe."Alubis, stop for a moment. I have something to say.”
"If you have anything to say, say it later. Don't hinder me.”Impatiently, he knocked Simon away and swung his knife again.
"Stop it! If you don't stop, when the Earl comes back, his house will be reduced to ruins.”Simon shouted anxiously.
"What do you mean?" Aliubis asked as he was about to strike.
Simon pulled him to the side of the penthouse.""Look, this large group of people has made the city more lively than the fireworks during the king's celebration. Look at the smoke and feel the shaking of the castle. If they don't stop, I think it won't be long before the city collapses.”
Alubis didn't take Simon's fuss seriously.""Tsk, I thought it was a big deal. This castle was passed down in the master's family. After that, the master had renovated and strengthened it many times. Under the supervision of the master, this castle was basically sturdy and durable.”
"I know that you have always believed in your master's ability, even to the point of blind worship. However, the Earl is not an architect. He thinks that it is strong, but it doesn't mean that it is unbreakable. Moreover, with such a large group of people wreaking havoc everywhere in the city, even the impregnable castle could not withstand their torment!”said Simon anxiously.
" Stop trying to scare us." Aliubis ignored Simon and continued his work.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the hanging tower hall. The two of them turned their heads to look inside. It turned out that the huge portrait of the earl hanging in the hall could not withstand the violent vibration and fell from the wall.
"Look, the portrait has fallen. Why aren't you stopping?”said Simon.
"If the portrait is dropped, you can pick it up and hang it up again. However, the master is missing, so it's not that simple. Do you know how many days the master has been missing? It had been a full seventeen days. He had never disappeared for so long without any explanation. Moreover, he was injured. Something big must have happened. Do you know how anxious I was? "I really want to fly out and find him. If it wasn't for this annoying seal, I would have found my master long ago. Get out of my way and don't get in my way." The anxious Alubis grabbed Simon's collar hysterically and glared at Simon with its black eyes.
At this time, the strange old man from the library, Sean, had also arrived at the hanging building. He came to the entrance of the hall and saw Alubis dragging Simon and talking fiercely. He flew over and kicked Alubis in the butt.
"You brat, are you trying to tear down the palace that Master painstakingly built? Hurry up and tell those good-for-nothings below to stop.”
Alubis covered his butt and turned around, wanting to fly into a rage. However, he realized that it was the strange old man, Sean. This strange old man had served the earl for several generations. He could be said to be the elder of three dynasties. Even the current earl respected him as an elder. He could not afford to offend this man.
"Ah, Old Master, why aren't you staying in the library? What are you doing here?”Alubis said respectfully.
"Library? The bookshelves of my library were all knocked over by you bastards. The books were all flipped over the ground. If I didn't come, the entire library would have been destroyed by you.”
As Sean spoke excitedly, he gave Aleubis a knock on his head. "Hurry up and tell everyone to stop." The strange old man gave his order.
" But, but," Alubis didn't dare to dodge and could only hug his head as he spoke.
"But what? You bunch of trash spent a few days and still couldn't break a little girl's seal. Do you think it'll be useful if you continue? Stop right now." Sean began to roar.
Aleubis held his head with one hand and his butt with the other as he circulated his spiritual energy and said loudly to everyone in the city,""Everyone, listen up. Stop and wait for orders.”
These demons obeyed Alubis 'orders absolutely. They immediately stopped attacking and stood where they were, looking at each other. Then, they shrugged, as if they didn't understand why Lord Death suddenly asked them to stop.
"Old man, I've already done as you instructed. What do you think?”Alubis said with a smile.
"That's more like it. Next time, don't be brainless and do something that is thankless.”Sean said with satisfaction.
"But what about this barrier? How should we break the seal?”Alubis asked Sean.
" How would I know?" Sean said." These things are your responsibility as the Chief Guard!" Hurry up and think of a way to solve this for me."
"This…" Alubis thought for a moment and said,"Alright, if that's the case, then I'll have to use this move."”After he finished speaking, two black wings appeared from the back of his black robe.
He spread out his black wings, which were as long as two people, and waved them hard. The strong wind almost blew the strange old man down. "I'm going to use my feather clone to attack.”Alubis said as he flew into the air.
Simon quickly whipped out his long whip and wrapped it around his feet, shouting,""Hei Yu's clone will consume a large amount of your spiritual energy and physical strength. If you are not proficient in using it, it will endanger your life. Even if you are lucky enough to be fine, it will take several years to recover your strength after using the clone technique. Don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary!”
Aliubis broke free from Simon's whip and continued to fly upwards. He didn't forget to lower his head and say,""Now that the situation is so urgent, we can't care too much. As long as we can rush out and find Master. Even if I have to lose my magic power forever, I am willing to do so.”
Alubis flew high into the sky and flapped his wings. Many black feathers fell from his wings, and they all transformed into the Grim Reaper. They flew towards the barrier that surrounded the top of the city, and together with their original bodies, they released a dazzling ball of light that attacked the seal.
The dozens of Alubis in the sky circulated their magic power and shouted loudly. "Ah-ah..." The black wings flapped up and down, and the black robes billowed in the wind. All the demons in the Demon City looked at their guard captain, who was as heroic as a god who had descended to the mortal world. They all burst into enthusiastic applause and deafening screams. The entire Demon City was in an uproar.
In contrast to the noisy and chaotic situation in Demon City, the quiet and comfortable life in the small clinic was the complete opposite.
Dean was lying on the bed with his back against the headboard, leisurely enjoying the peeled apple that Maria had personally fed him. The sweet and juicy apple was personally fed by such a charming girl. Dean felt the sweetness from his mouth to his heart. He could not help but recall the scene when he had just woken up from his coma.
That day, when he slowly woke up from his stupor, the first thing he heard was Maria crying in his ear. "Dean, wake up! Dean, wake up! Please open your eyes and look at me. I'm Maria.”
She kept sobbing." S-Sorry, it's all my willfulness and self-righteousness that harmed you. If I had listened to you earlier or didn't leave the Demon Hunters Association and pretend to be some damn gold-medal assassin, you wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries. It's all my fault. Dean, you should get better soon. If you can wake up, I'll do anything you want. Dean…" The more Maria cried, the sadder she became. She laid on Dean's body and cried loudly.
"You have to keep your word." Dean couldn't bear to hear Maria cry. He forced his eyes open.
Maria, who was crying, heard his voice and hurriedly raised her head. She met Dean's green eyes and saw him smiling at her. His slender eyebrows were curved, and his round and full lips were slightly curled up. Although his face was very pale, it did not affect his handsome appearance at all.
I had never noticed that he was so good-looking, especially his eyes. They were simply mesmerizing. Moreover, I seemed to have seen those eyes somewhere before. Maria thought hard.
Why couldn't he remember? Anyway, this pair of beautiful eyes was right in front of him. What was the point of thinking so much?
After looking at Dean for so long, Maria suddenly realized that he had woken up."Ah, ah, you, you, Dean, you, ahaha.。。。。。”
Maria was so happy that she was incoherent. The tears on her face had not dried yet, but she broke into a smile. As she smiled, she buried her head in Dean's shoulder and said with tears and snot,"You, why did you sleep for so long? Do you know that I've been waiting for you for more than ten days? I was so worried that you wouldn't wake up. You, you were so worried that I was going to die.。。。。。”
Dean let Maria cry on his shoulder and wiped her tears and snot on his clothes. He didn't expect her to care so much about him. He felt his chest heat up.
He raised a hand and gently patted Maria's back to comfort her,""I'm sorry for making you worry, but I'm fine now. Look, I'm fine by your side, right?”
Maria raised her head. Tears were still swirling in her blue eyes. Her entire pair of big eyes were swollen, and her nose was red.
Dean wiped away her tears with his hand and said,"Alright, silly girl, don't cry. I'm fine now.”
"You're fine, but I'm not." Maria seemed to have thought of something and suddenly put on a stern face as she questioned Dean."You, why didn't you let Dr. Luther save you first? Your injury was obviously much more serious than mine, but you still insisted on holding on. The doctor told me that you were very seriously injured and only had one breath left. You didn't let him save you first. You, you don't cherish yourself too much. Or do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?”
"I-I did this because I was worried about you.”Dean said guiltily as he looked at Maria's serious face.
"What do I have to worry about?" Maria raised her voice and said,"I'm a gold medal killer.。。。。。”
Dean could not help but laugh out loud."Gold-ranked assassin? Aha, aha, oh my god, aha...。。。。Ah, aiyo." Dean had no choice but to hold back his laughter after accidentally touching his wound. However, he could not help but laugh out loud after holding it in for a while. He had no choice but to cover his wound with one hand and cover his mouth with the other.
Maria was baffled. He touched Di's forehead and said,""What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Do you have a fever?”
"Ah, hehe, huhu, it's nothing. I just remembered that when I was unconscious just now, someone seemed to have said that they were pretending to be a gold-medal assassin or something.”Dean looked at her with an evil smile.
Maria was stunned for a moment before she suddenly reacted. However, in order to hide her guilty conscience, she decided to strike first. She blushed and pretended to be angry as she said,"Ah, so you woke up a long time ago, but you deliberately didn't open your eyes to make me worry. You even eavesdropped on my conversation. Apologize to me quickly.”
"Wow, Miss, it's really a waste for you not to be an official. You're simply a model of reversing right and wrong and bullying the weak. You were the one who fell on me and said it loudly for me to hear. How did it become me eavesdropping?”
Maria suddenly stood up." How am I bullying the weak? Your magic power is much stronger than mine. How am I bullying you?”She glared at Dean.
"Okay, okay, okay. You didn't. Then you said that as long as I open my eyes, you'll do anything, right?”Dean said helplessly.
"When did I say that?" Maria denied immediately. You must have heard wrongly. I didn't say that.”
" Ah, y-you." Dean looked at the rogue Maria and had nothing to say. He had an idea and pretended to be sick.
He covered his wound with both hands and shouted with an exaggerated expression,"Ah, it hurts, it hurts."
This scared Maria. She quickly leaned over and asked with concern,"Ah, Dean, what's wrong? Is your wound hurting again? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have angered you. It wasn't easy for you to wake up.”At the same time, he did not forget to gently caress Dean's wound.
"It's fine if you don't want me to be excited. Tell me about pretending to be a gold-medal assassin.”Dean took the opportunity to grab Maria's hand and put it on his chest.
"This…" Maria looked at Dean with a troubled expression. "Ah, it's happening again. It hurts so much.。。。。。”Dean used the same trick again.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. Let go of me first!”Although Maria felt that Dean was pretending to be sick, she still couldn't bear to see him in pain. After all, he had just woken up and his face was still very pale.
"No, just say it." This time, it was Dean's turn to act shamelessly.
Maria sighed and sat down beside Di."You already knew that I'm from the Demon Hunters Association?”
Dean nodded. "But you might not know that the Demon Hunters Association has been established for several thousand years.”
"Wow, it has been around for so long!”Di exclaimed.
" Yes, the reason why the Demon Hunters Association was first established is said to be to kill the first generation vampire Cain. At that time, the Archangel Michael, under the orders of the Lord God, passed the method and tools to kill vampires to the founder of the Demon Hunters Association, Lord Saint John.”Maria recalled the origin of the Demon Hunters Association that she had heard since she was young.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment." Oh, at the same time, the angel left behind the four sacred beasts and chose a young girl from the humans to be their master. This young girl would become the Guardian Saintess of the Demon Hunters Association, and her responsibility was to protect the safety of the Demon Hunters Association. Therefore, the Guardian Saintess 'defensive spiritual power and sealing barrier were the strongest.
Every Saintess could have an immortal body for 1,000 years. After 1,000 years, she would choose an heir to inherit her magic power. Only then could she put down her burden and live a normal life.”
"Then, then you, you can't be already, already a thousand years old, right?”Dean stammered.
"I'm not that old. She was only chosen by the previous Holy Maiden last year. I'm only eighteen.”Maria explained anxiously," I was unwilling to stay in the Demon Hunters Association's headquarters as a guard. I wanted to prove that the Guardian Saintess could also be a Blood Hunter, so I snuck out. The only big vampire I knew was Dracula, so I decided to hunt him. I didn't expect to end up with you, and so many things happened.。。。。。”
Dean recalled what Maria had said to him and could not help but mutter to himself,"That proves that we are fated.”
"Hmm? What fate?" Maria stopped what she was doing and asked when she heard Dean's inexplicable words.
Dean put the fruit platter in her hand aside and held her hands tightly in his palm."You snuck out of the Demon Hunters Association and spent so much time and effort to find me. We've experienced so many things together.”
Listening to his words, Maria's cheeks flushed red." Who has the time to look for you!" I went to hunt Dracula, and I didn't expect to meet a scoundrel like you.”Maria tried to pull her hand away, but Dean held on tightly.
"This shows that we are fated! It must have been God's arrangement that we were able to meet under those circumstances. So I won't let go. Also, I'm not a scoundrel. Have you ever seen such a handsome scoundrel?”
"If you aren't a scoundrel, then what are you? Your injuries are clearly healed, but you still want me to serve you every day. You even want me to feed you a fruit. Every time they mention that you want to go back to the Demon Hunters Association headquarters, you pretend to be uncomfortable. If it's not a leg pain, then your chest hurts.”Maria said as she struggled free from Dean's big hand.
Dean put on a sincere expression and said,"I really haven't recovered yet. When I recover, I'll personally send you back to the Demon Hunters Association. I can't let you go alone.”
At the same time, there was a voice in Dean's heart that said crazily,"Actually, I can't bear to let you go. I really want to be with you." One more day was one more day. I like it when you feed me medicine and peel apples for me. I like it when you're angry at me and I like it when you act coquettishly to me. I like it when you're blushing and shy. I like you, I like you, I like everything about you. I want you to be with me forever. Even if I can't recover from my injuries for the rest of my life, I'm willing.”
Dean himself could not understand why he and Marilia had only been together for a short period of ten days. At first, they were still enemies, but he had fallen hopelessly in love with her. He could not help himself. Although she would probably hunt Dean down after she found out his true identity, he still fell headfirst into it. Sigh, if only Mother was still by my side now.
Although Dean looked like a 20-year-old boy, he had actually lived for more than 30 years. However, due to the blood kin genes in his body, he did not age as easily as humans. However, he was practically a blank sheet of paper when it came to his love life and dealing with emotional problems. This was because his mother was killed by his father with a sword before he even knew what love was. Other than forcing him to practice spiritual power and swordsmanship every day since he was young, that hateful demon had never taught him anything else.
Mother, please tell me what I should do. What can I do to keep her by my side? Dean searched for the answer in his heart over and over again.
"We should do this." Maria picked up a cup of hot water and splashed it on Dean's leg, who was lying on the bed in a daze.
"I should have done this a long time ago. He's talking to you, but you're still pretending to be stupid.”
"Ah, it's so hot, so hot." Dean was brought back to the real world by the heat of his legs. He jumped off the bed and kept stamping his feet. He hurriedly pulled up a corner of the bedsheet to wipe the water off his body.
"Maria, what are you doing? Do you want to burn me to death?" Dean grumbled.
Maria looked at him and smiled.""I'm just helping you heal your injuries. It seems that the effect is not bad! Just now, someone said that his injuries had not recovered and he could not walk. It seems that my medical skills have already surpassed Dr. Luther's?”
"Ah, it hurts so much. I must have pulled my wound from the movement just now.”Dean said with an exaggerated expression as he hugged one of his legs.
Maria walked to his side and whispered in his ear,""Next time, before you pretend to be sick, first figure out which leg you injured. Don't mistake your leg again, idiot.”
After saying that, she did not forget to step on Dean's foot heavily. Then, she quickly walked out of the room and slammed the door shut. The door slammed shut tightly, leaving Dean, who was annoyed that he had made a mistake in his leg, rubbing his foot that Maria had stepped on.。。。。。
