What the male and female protagonists and the Pope discussed inside was completely unknown to the bat-like system lurking outside monitoring them. Naturally, it had no idea that by following a knight commander about to leave, it was witnessing an impending spectacle...
As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, it always seems to happen in clusters; perhaps this is what they mean by misfortunes never coming singly!
Just as Yu Ling began to feel melancholy about how to make herself feel comfortable and free in the next mission world, Eric was also being targeted.
Inside the pitch-black castle, several tall and imposing figures paced the corridors hesitantly before finally opening the door to the last room. There, on the bed, lay the peaceful sleeping face of an innocent-looking little girl.
The necklace made by the main god finally worked this time. In their eyes, Yu Ling, who was pretending to be asleep, was no different from an ordinary human little girl. She was easily pulled up by one of the taller ones.
Yu Ling, who had initially thought these people were there to cause trouble for Eric and was trying to escape by pretending to be asleep, was now moved around like this. She could no longer pretend to be asleep and opened her eyes, her face filled with surprise and disbelief.
The strong, imposing man in the darkness, though not very worldly, could sense that the beautiful and adorable young girl in front of him, dressed in a gorgeous dress, was no ordinary person.
But this girl doesn't have the scent of a vampire. How did she end up in a vampire castle...? Could she have been used as food?
"Who...are you?" The pretty little girl was a little scared, but she still asked politely.
However, before she could finish speaking, a cloud of mist billowed from the doorway. Sensing danger, Eric threw the uninvited guests out, leaving only the burly man carrying Yu Ling.
\"you......\"
The men who were thrown out were filled with anger, but before they could retaliate, they saw the little girl, who had just been looking uneasy and timid, vanish from their teammates' hands in an instant.
"How is this possible...? This is impossible... How did he do that...?"
In the blink of an eye, Yu Ling was snatched from the man's grasp by Eric. A look of surprise crossed the burly man's face as he muttered in disbelief, "I'm a high-level blood hunter... how come I can't even handle this seemingly weak vampire..."
He was somewhat unwilling and couldn't accept the fact that he was inferior to others. His figure flashed again, leaving afterimages in the air, as he chased after Eric.
"Hmph, a mere high-level blood hunter dares to run wild on my territory and even lay a hand on an innocent little girl!"
Eric snorted and casually placed the jade pendant on top of the wardrobe where it wouldn't be affected. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and shot forward like an arrow. He was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the two had already begun to fight.
Yu Ling, whose strength had recovered by a tiny fraction but was still the strongest among the people in the room: ...Yes, I am just an innocent little girl!
Eric's fingernails began to grow wildly and become incredibly sharp as his power surged. He followed closely behind the muscular man, who was dodging, like a ray of light, without pausing for even a moment.
His strength was so formidable that it startled the group, and the 1v1 quickly turned into a 1vN situation, but Eric maintained the upper hand throughout. The young blood hunters who had traveled from afar finally sensed the danger, but they still did not choose to give up.
After all, their profession is to fight vampires, how could they just leave so easily? Don't blood hunters have any pride?!
Forced to take the hits head-on, the figures crisscrossed with Eric in mid-air and on the ground, constantly changing positions and rapidly unleashing combos. After colliding with him dozens of times, they finally exhausted themselves and landed at the same time.
After stopping, Eric's face turned even uglier, and the others on the other side also spat out a mouthful of blood, their bodies covered with Eric's claw marks.
"I am a vegetarian vampire, but I am definitely not someone to be trifled with." In this special group, vegetarianism means that Eric usually feeds on animal blood and will not harm humans. This combination of force and courtesy also intimidated the uninvited guests.
After Yu Ling also stepped forward to say that she and Eric were just friends and that there was no abuse involved, and that she had no obvious wounds, the Blood Hunters didn't say much and slunk away.
Yu Ling had also sensed that another force within Eric's body was stirring. She was all too familiar with this feeling; it was the prelude to the vampire's power about to spiral out of control within the weak human body.
"Their eyes held suspicion and anger, and they are very likely to visit again. You need to be careful."
After saying that, as if she knew what Eric was thinking, she used another sentence to completely shut down all his little ideas.
"Stop trying to cover up the truth for me with any words. You get bothered like this all the time, don't you? But you don't seem to want to get rid of them completely."
Eric didn't refute, but smelling the blood left from the battle wounds, he subconsciously gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry, it's my fault for forgetting to remind you earlier and startling you."
He really didn't want to cause any more trouble because of his identity, but... how long would he have to live like this?
The girl, barely reaching Eric's waist, seemed to have read Eric's mind again, and continued to speak with a smile:
"It's alright, don't be afraid. I'm not a defenseless lamb. Go back and rest; Rubis will worry if you keep acting like this."
Eric froze, as if mentioning Rubis had reminded him of something else...
“Let me help you suppress the boiling power. It seems the vampire who provided the blood to transform you is of an extraordinary level.” Seeing the other party in a daze, Yu Ling stretched out her sinister hand, which was itching to act.
"No need... Wait! Do I need to take this off too?!" Despite her resistance, Yu Ling suppressed Eric even faster than when Eric faced the Blood Hunter.
Yu Ling once again took full advantage, and even accidentally hurt her opponent while recovering her strength, but at least the combing went relatively smoothly. Seeing Eric's flushed face but restrained expression, she couldn't help but ask:
"Do you need some of my blood? Your body has deteriorated a lot again."
For some unknown reason, the moment Yu Ling released her hand and finished speaking, Eric leaped into the air and vanished in the blink of an eye.
I got rejected yet again!
As Eric left, the smile on Yu Ling's face gradually faded. Not only had he clearly held back against those blood hunters, but he also seemed to still consider himself human. Otherwise, why would he be so resistant to drinking blood?
Good heavens! Why are all the sane people on the side of humans?!
