"Great Aka, please tell Sister Vanya that she has done a great job. The current threats have been resolved. The people and the royal family are safe for the time being. Pack up your war supplies and leave..."
Under the cover of night, Dorothy squatted on the street and shivered in the cold wind. She closed her eyes and prayed in her heart. If others didn't know her, they would think she was an abandoned orphan. In light of the background of the times, she looked like a little match girl.
…
On the rooftop at the edge of the square on the other side, Vanya nodded slightly after receiving Dorothy's words in her heart. Then she looked at the celebrating crowd below and the royal family on the balcony in the distance, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
'I didn't expect that there would be cultists causing chaos during such a new festival. Fortunately, Miss Dorothea guided me here to stop it. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened.'
Vanya thought thankfully in her heart. Although she still occasionally felt a little worried about the too close connection between her, A-Ka and Dorothy, she still felt genuinely happy whenever this connection allowed her to save others. She also looked forward to saving more people under A-Ka's guidance.
After thinking it over, Vanya began to clean up the battlefield according to Dorothy's instructions. She went to the edge of the roof and picked up a rifle made of brass and white wood. This was the rifle that Bertholdt had prepared to snipe the royal family. He abandoned it here after being slashed by Vanya's sword, and he didn't have time to take it with him after he escaped in the form of a bat.
It can be used to attack the royal family, and its appearance is so gorgeous, it is obvious that it is not an ordinary thing.
"This is the war item. Take it and leave quickly..."
Vanya thought as she picked up the rifle, and then she cast her gaze to the royal balcony. At this moment, she saw the princess and the duke standing up from their seats and talking with several bodyguards beside them. Among these bodyguards, there was no one disguised as a member of the Tip of the Eight.
…
"What? Someone wants to assassinate us?"
On the balcony of the royal family, Duke Barrett, who had just heard the serious words of the bodyguard, said in surprise, while a tall bodyguard in front of him nodded and said seriously.
"Yes, Your Highness. The current situation is very complicated and dangerous. According to the intelligence we have obtained, there is something wrong with the Kamino that has been protecting you two from behind. So just now we asked him out on the pretext of discussing something in order to secretly control him, but it caused resistance. We can now confirm that it is not the real Kamino."
The bodyguard spoke sternly to the duke and princess in front of him, and Princess Xiao shook her head in disbelief in response.
"It's not the real Kamino... How is this possible? Kamino has always been my guard. I can't possibly make a mistake..."
"Your Highness, this matter involves secrets. The Kamino you have encountered before should be a Beyonder disguised as a vampire. This kind of Beyonder has the ability to perfectly transform into someone else, and it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize it."
The bodyguard continued to answer seriously. Listening to his words, Duke Barrett frowned, and then spoke with a serious expression.
"Vampire... hum... It seems that this matter is very complicated. They might be coming for me... By the way, how did you find out that there was something wrong with Kamino? How is the vampire doing now?"
Barrett continued to ask seriously, and the bodyguard did not dare to neglect his answer.
“Your Highness, the Duke, the reason we know there’s something wrong with Kamino is because the real Kamino is still alive. He was found seriously injured by the church’s medical center and they notified us, so we discovered the problem.
"As for the vampire, when we were trying to secretly test him just now, he realized that he was exposed, so he wanted to force his way through our blockade to attack you two, but fortunately we were well prepared and successfully stopped him. After he saw that the situation was not good, he used his bat-transformation ability to escape. I'm sorry that we couldn't capture him."
The bodyguard responded apologetically, and Duke Barrett nodded silently before speaking.
"Well... it's not your fault. Vampires are one of the most difficult professions to deal with among the Cretaceous Beyonders. Not only are their penetration and combat capabilities extremely strong, they also have excellent escape abilities. If you don't prepare in advance, it will be difficult to stop them."
"That's right... So based on the current situation, we are still unsure whether there are other hidden dangers. This balcony is exposed for ten feet and is very unsafe, so please ask Your Highness the Duke and Your Highness the Princess to leave the house first and let us protect you closely. After we have checked for any dangers, we will escort you back safely."
The bodyguard said this to Isabel and Barrett. Hearing his words, Isabel nodded with a worried look on her face.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you. Since it's not safe now, please notify the party to end as soon as possible and let everyone go home. Forget about the subsequent activities."
"Yes, we will notify the people below."
After getting a response from the bodyguard, Isabel and Barrett jumped into the building from the balcony.
…
On the other side, not far from the Bishop's Square, in a dark and deserted alley, countless flying bats fell from the sky and gathered here, forming the figure of a man.
“Hu…Hu…Damn it!!”
After finishing his bat transformation, Bertholdt leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. His face was ashen as he completely tore the clothes on his left shoulder, exposing the disgusting rotten flesh on it.
"Hmm...what's going on...how did the plan get exposed...and where did that swordsman from the Afterbirth Cult show up from!?"
While gasping for breath, Bertrand grabbed the rotten flesh on his shoulder with his hands, then gritted his teeth and tore the entire piece of rotten flesh off with great force. He couldn't help but groan in pain as blood spurted out.
After tearing off all the rotten flesh, Burton quickly took out another blood injection and injected himself. After this injection, Burton's injuries finally began to recover and heal normally, and after a while the bleeding stopped successfully.
After ruthlessly completing this series of operations, the exhausted Bert could not help but collapse on the ground. He took a few long breaths to relieve the pain, shook his sleeves, and then a human-faced spider crawled out of his sleeves.
Facing the human-faced spider in his hand, Berteng spoke slowly and weakly.
"Master Yama... Unfortunately, our mission failed because of a guy who looked like a postpartum woman. Barrett is still alive, but we can't kill him under the current circumstances.
"That guy must die... Master Ya-Priest, while the time is still there, activate the Night Demon."
