As the battle continued, all the bloodthirsty bat wolves that invaded the temple were finally killed one by one by Elegy and others, followed by the wolves who were dancing the most happily.
After their threat was eliminated, the battle situation inside the temple was reversed almost instantly.
Without them, no enemy could withstand the onslaught of Dirge and Alduin.
At the same time, the guards and others also made their efforts. For a while, the speed at which the graveyard guards and werewolves invaded the temple could not even keep up with the killing speed of Elegy and others.
Virginia and others naturally took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and it seemed that it would not be long before they could launch a full-scale counterattack.
Although he had such a plan, Levi did not take action immediately because he was waiting for Cindy to completely end the battle.
After completely gaining air superiority, the battle will become completely different and he will be able to mobilize more troops.
However, before he could receive the news of Cindy's victory, the undead outside the temple suddenly made a slight commotion, as if someone had attacked them from the west.
Could it be reinforcements from the wood elves?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, before the latest information could be sent back by the monitors, Levi immediately denied his guess when he saw the faint flickering fire there.
Because whether it is vampires, undead, or wood elves, almost none of them use fire magic.
The former is afraid of fire, and the latter is because they live in the forest 99% of the time, and playing with fire is simply seeking death.
Even if they didn't set the forest on fire, the tree people in the big forest would still cause trouble for them.
So it could only be that unexpected reinforcements had arrived.
Soon, purple lightning, green wind blades, and hoarfrost-like ice cones flashed one after another. Although they were all low- and medium-level magic and not very powerful, their frequency was not low.
Is there more than one magician among the reinforcements?
With such doubts, Levi asked the inspectors to continue investigating and tried to communicate with each other.
On the other hand, he also informed Luna to prepare for action.
Regardless of whether the vampires have an ambush or not, it is almost time to move out now. Luna and the others can then launch a surprise attack from the side.
Sure enough, soon about four or five teams of stone tomb-bound spirits, which were almost invisible to the naked eye in the dark night, began to fly in the direction of the commotion.
Almost all temples have magic circles against incorporeal creatures. The vampires obviously know this, so they did not send them out to attack before, but they come in handy now.
But the reinforcements were not so easy to deal with. Firstly, they did not penetrate deep into the Undead Tribe, but only carried out harassing attacks from the periphery.
Secondly, as they cast spells, several elemental creatures soon appeared on the battlefield.
Similarly, like the magic that just flashed, they are also the four elements of fire, thunder, wind, and ice. No matter which element it is, they can deal with spiritual creatures more easily.
At this time, two more teams of vampires took off from behind the undead and headed straight for the direction of the reinforcements.
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Only two teams?
Is it that the Undead no longer have any more backup forces, or do they think that these two teams are enough to deal with the reinforcements?
If it's the latter, the number of reinforcements might be unexpectedly small...
But no matter what, it is time for us to take action. We can’t let the other side fight alone!
"Cindy!"
"Here I come!"
Starting with a large-scale mind blast and the sacred glacier, Cindy successfully repelled the graveyard guards at the temple gate.
Then she took the angels and griffins and flew directly in the direction of the reinforcements.
Although there are still dozens of vampires left to be killed, there will be no problem in handing them over to Xiaotian's Legion's Yakong and Giant Eagles.
Levi also took the opportunity to release magic such as Ice Wall and Star of Avandor to further prevent more undead from breaking into the temple.
As long as the main battlefield of the battle is changed, the large-scale magic of him, Sally and others can fully exert its power.
Wange immediately laughed loudly, waved the two big swords in his hands, and rushed out like a whirlwind.
After being trapped inside for so long, it’s finally time to counterattack!
Alduin naturally followed with the dragon warriors as soon as possible.
Similarly, Virginia also tried her best, because she was the one who caused this trouble from the beginning.
If it weren't for her leading the way, they wouldn't have encountered the marching vampires, and naturally there wouldn't have been this attack!
At the same time, Luna on the other side also moved. A large number of female hunters and tree spirits jumped out of the forest and launched a surprise attack on the vampire's rear.
Although due to the special nature of the weapons they use, they almost never use weapon enchants, so their lethality to the undead is relatively weaker.
This is thanks to Luna's combat skills and the catapult abilities that all the huntresses possess.
When hundreds of female hunters launched an attack at the same time, almost all the undead within their range would be attacked by multiple moon blades at the same time.
The attacks are densely packed like locusts. Although the damage of a single attack is very low, the number is enough to suppress everything.
As long as you can break the defense, you can kill the opponent!
Caught off guard, large numbers of undead were cut down like wheat.
At the critical moment, some vampires screamed and summoned hundreds of monsters such as bats, wild wolves or giant rats in an attempt to delay time.
Unfortunately, in the face of the barrage of fire formed by the Moon Blades, they couldn't even last 10 seconds and all turned into corpses on the ground.
Before the vampires could launch another counterattack, the undead inside the temple had been completely wiped out, and Levi's side launched a full-scale counterattack.
The first one to fly out of the temple was naturally Levi himself.
Behind him were Sally and Lucia, who were riding on a flying carpet and protected by a big palm.
While casually throwing down magic such as fireballs, he flew straight to the northeast, because the strangeness that Lucia felt came from that direction.
Unexpectedly, within just a few minutes, the situation took such a sharp turn for the worse, even to the point of complete collapse and being completely irreversible.
So the leading female vampire didn't say a word, nor did she try to threaten him. She only left an order: "Aru, you come and stop the other party. Buy me some time to escape!"
According to what she thought, Aru would be very rude this time, but he agreed very obediently.
But contrary to her expectations, he did not respond this time. Instead, he looked a little dazed and confused as he looked at the enemy who was approaching rapidly in mid-air.
"Why does my heart feel so fluttery?"
The female vampire couldn't help but get angry for a moment: "Aru, you idiot, what are you still talking about?"
It's not that she didn't want to escape immediately, but because of the characteristics of the undead, she had to hand over the command of some of the undead to them, otherwise those idiots would not be able to delay the escape much.
This is especially true now that the enemy has almost killed all of our air force.
But Alu ignored her and just continued to look up at Lucia, not even showing any intention of fighting for a moment.
He had been in a daze before, but now as the other party approached, he felt that his heart and brain were like a mirror that had been wiped of dust, and he became clear.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that some of his memories seemed to be loosening, and he seemed to be able to figure out who he was soon.
Looking at Aru who seemed to be acting stupid, the female vampire cursed inwardly, he was indeed a fool.
She simply began to transfer the command of the undead to other vampires around her.
Things have come to this point, no matter who it is, it won’t change the situation, so it doesn’t matter, anyway, it’s just to help her escape!
Similarly, as the distance got closer, Lucia felt her heart beating faster and faster.
Although under the influence of some special magic, it was still pitch black below and she couldn't see any human figures at all, she still couldn't help but shout.
"Hey, that damn vampire, what is your relationship with Dracula?"
In an instant, as if a bolt of lightning struck, Alu's whole body shook, as if a key seal had been triggered, and he finally remembered everything.
“Hahaha, I see.”
The inexplicable energy suddenly shook, and the surrounding magical darkness was instantly dispelled. Levi and the others immediately saw a person with golden hair shawl, who looked like a human nobleman, standing on the ground and looking at them with a smile.
"I'm Alucard, and I share the same bloodline as you, that of the cursed Dracula. Should I call you sister or younger sister?"
"W-what?"
Even though she had guessed it a long time ago, Lucia was still surprised when it was actually confirmed.
But the one who was more surprised than her was the female vampire who was trying to escape a few dozen meters away: "How is it possible? Aru, you are actually Dracula's son?"
Dracula is one of the few powerful vampires who is independent of many families. His life experience is very mysterious, and no one can understand it until now.
Even the original vampire, Neferata, the queen of the Lamia family, was completely unaware .
Obviously, the other party was not the first generation vampire created by her, nor was he any second or third generation vampire with any traceable trace. However, the power he displayed was not inferior to those first generation vampires.
Therefore, the Lamia family has been trying to find out the truth and has taken many targeted measures, and she even participated in it personally.
Unexpectedly, this Aru whom she picked up on the roadside turned out to be the descendant of Dracula?
"Oh, yes, and you too."
With a turn of his figure, Alucard appeared directly behind the female vampire as if teleporting. No one knew what magic he used, but he subdued the other party in an instant.
He looked at the other person's face very seriously: "I am Alucard, the son of man, please don't misunderstand me."
The female vampire, unable to move, could only frantically signal him with her eyes. She understood.
Alucard then nodded in satisfaction. He first threw the other person to the ground casually as if he was holding a rabbit, and then he bowed slightly.
"I'm sorry, sister. Dracula cast an evil spell on me before, causing me to temporarily lose my memory and most of my wisdom. As a result, I became a minion of evil. This evil female vampire should be my first apology."
Levi couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that Dracula was a really bad father. His son and daughter seemed to be filial sons who wanted to take his life.
Although there are still some doubts, I will leave it to Lucia for the time being.
As a professional vampire hunter, even without this blood connection, Lucia is an expert in how to distinguish a vampire's camp and whether the vampire has ever sucked the blood of intelligent creatures or slaughtered them.
Now it seems that she must have confirmed the other party's general tendency, so she was just a little surprised and did not take action immediately.
Otherwise, even because of blood ties, she would just subdue the other person first and then ask other questions.
As for now...
I took a look at Cindy and found that she had successfully met up with the reinforcements. Similarly, everything was going well with Luna.
Especially after Alucard awakened and the female vampire was subdued, the undead lost their highest-ranking commander and could only continue to act according to the last order they received.
Under such circumstances, they naturally have no chance of achieving any results.
Levi felt a little relieved, so he secretly ordered the guards and others to attack as quickly as possible and completely kill all the remaining vampires present.
He turned and looked at the female vampire, thinking maybe it was time to deal with her.
After waving his hand and casting a spell to immobilize the dead, Levi called over several bear-headed gods including Bill, and prepared to use the spell to immobilize monsters together, taking turns to serve her.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of your Lahmia family's massive westward march this time?"
"Hmph, elf, don't even think about getting any information from me."
Although she spoke toughly, her eyes were wandering, obviously looking for a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, her strength was obviously not that good, and she was more like a commanding vampire. This resulted in each immobilization lasting for quite a while on her.
Levi didn't care: "I never knew a vampire could be so loyal. If you can give me a satisfactory answer, I will let you go."
Of course, this only represents himself, not his subordinates, Lucia, or Virginia and the others.
Even when facing an enemy, he rarely actually lies, but if the other party misunderstood his meaning, he couldn't be blamed, right?
The female vampire remained silent, but her eyes secretly glanced to the other side.
There, Lucia and Alucard were already talking in low voices, and the atmosphere seemed to be very good.
This made her secretly anxious. She had always treated the other party as a fool, so she told him almost all the information she knew.
Who knows that now the other party is not only not stupid, but also has a rather complicated identity. Will he keep those secrets for himself? Of course not!
Seeing this, Levi couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you already understand your situation. I will give you one last chance."
The female vampire suddenly became anxious: "How can I be sure that you will keep your promise?"
"You can only choose to believe me, or die now."
The reason why he was so calm was that Levi believed that he would not be able to obtain much useful information.
Right now the main focus of the Lahmia family should be on the Ninth Volume of Nagash. If they can really find it, there is no doubt that their queen will reward them handsomely.
But now she was sent here to carry out the so-called revenge. No matter she succeeded or failed, she would definitely offend Su Lun's church and waste a lot of time.
Isn't she also an excluded marginalized person?
The female vampire paused for a moment, and after glancing at the other side again, she gritted her teeth.
"You should have heard that the dwarves in the Depths of Pollution dug through the ground and unearthed the evil beneath the ground, which eventually led to the annihilation of almost all of their tribe."
"The Queen has received accurate information that one of the Nine Volumes of Nagash is hidden deep underground. We are marching for it."
Levi nodded slightly: "Is Black-Arkhan involved?"
The female vampire was shocked again. Although the relationship between the queen and the other party was not a secret within their family, it was indeed a secret to the outside world.
It's not just because the Lamia family is becoming more and more prosperous, but the other party has been hiding like a rat for hundreds of years, avoiding being hunted by many camps.
What’s more, this relationship happened thousands of years ago!
She didn't expect that the other party even knew this, which was really beyond her expectations.
This made her immediately become much more honest: "No, the Queen has not been able to get in touch with the other party."
Levi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "So, this is all you know?"
What difference does it make whether he said it or not? He had already figured out the general situation.
Before the female vampire could respond, Lucia on the other side also shouted with a little joy: "Levi!"
Levi immediately understood that she must have obtained enough information, so the guy in front of him was of no use to him.
So he simply stopped talking nonsense and started casting the spell.
This time he is going to use the Finger of Death. He wants to verify whether the undead have a higher resistance to this magic?
Upon seeing his actions, the female vampire panicked: "Wait, I am still valuable, don't kill me, I know the Mala Church is also preparing some action there!"
But Levi ignored her words, which were still just worthless nonsense!
But there was a flash of green light, and all the movements of the female vampire stopped instantly. Then her entire body turned into ashes and disappeared on the spot.
All I can say is that her strength is still too weak and her luck is not good enough. It took only one time for it to take effect.
Seeing this, Alucard on the side could not help but admire: "My sister, it seems that you have really found a strong enough ally."
Lucia couldn't help but smile. Now it seemed that this was indeed the case.
But who would have thought that about half a month ago, the opponent's strength was far inferior to hers?
His wisdom and command are one thing, but what really makes people feel surprised, even shocked, is his talent and speed of growth!
Then there were a few crisp "ding-dong" sounds, which were the spoils on the female vampire's body.
Most of them were worthless things, but the two blood-red rings among them really surprised Levi, because they were the rings of Family 13!
Thinking back to what Lucia had said before, the Tohyphenate family was created by Dracula in imitation of the Lamia family. It seems that they may have brought disaster upon themselves because of this.
I just don’t know exactly when they died, but in any case, it’s just right for Lucia and me now.
Seeing that Virginia was very tactful and did not approach here, but took the temple guards to hunt down the remaining vampires, Levi nodded with satisfaction, and then he exchanged information with Alucard.
As expected, ever since the battle in the Underdark, the Lahmia family came and killed the other side.
Even according to their original plan, they wanted to replace them, disguise themselves as each other, reorganize the 13 families, and even spy on Dracula's secrets.
However, something strange happened in the deep pit soon, and they were urgently mobilized and marched westward, thus temporarily giving up the integration of the remaining forces of the 13 families.
No wonder Levi felt that those vampires were very strange since then, and almost everyone would surrender to him. It turned out that after Dracula escaped, they were also executed with the beheading tactic.
After losing all the family leaders, they naturally became a group of scattered sand, without any clear goals or pursuits, and only cared about their immediate interests.
Now it’s time to look forward to what Lucia will get after collecting all 13 rings.
Similarly, Lucia is also looking forward to this. The 13 families are Dracula's preparation for becoming a god.
In his plan, they will become his first believers. Are there any related secrets hidden in these rings?
Alucard also looked over with a little curiosity. He was indeed a little curious.
Under the attraction of an inexplicable force, the 13 family rings quickly merged together to form a new ring.
Compared with the previous rings, it looks much more noble and gorgeous.
There was just a faint blood-colored mist surrounding them, which seemed somewhat inconsistent with Lucia's camp, because blood usually represents evil.
Lucia also frowned slightly, then she naturally couldn't wait to check it out, and then she frowned again.
Apparently, it didn't seem to work like she expected.
Then, with a complicated expression, she handed the ring directly to Levi: "Levi, take a look at it too."
Dracula's Bloodstone Ring (???)
Effect 1: Bloodline Domination: You can separate up to 12 rings and give them to other vampires. If the other party chooses to swear allegiance with blood, you will have absolute control over them, and their life and death will be in your hands (not effective for Legendary and above levels);
Effect 2, Selection of Bloodline Lords: Every 13 days, after spending a large amount of materials, you can perform a special advancement for a qualified vampire - Bloodline Lords. At the same time, you also have all the special abilities of Bloodline Lords.
Effect 3, Bloodbath Rapid Attack, as you kill enemies on the battlefield, your attack speed, movement speed, and attack power will increase according to their number and strength (up to 50%, lasting up to 10 minutes);
Effect 4, immortality. If the wearer is a vampire with Dracula's bloodline and is weaker than him, then while the ring exists, the target will not die permanently, but will be resurrected after consuming a large amount of experience points (which may cause a level drop) and a certain period of dormancy (based on the level at the time of death).
If the experience value is insufficient, the sleep time will be greatly increased.
If the ring is destroyed during the hibernation period, the resurrection will fail.
Effect 5, Dracula's Favor. If the wearer is a vampire with Dracula's bloodline, his/her strength, agility, constitution, and perception will be increased by +2, and he/she will also gain a passive skill - hunger.
Effect 6, ???
Effect 7, ???
Note 1: Since you are not a vampire with Dracula's bloodline, and the previous owner of the ring, Dracula, is not dead, you cannot view all the properties of this item, nor can you exert all the effects of this item.
(A ring that contains a considerable portion of the life, blood, and power of the legendary vampire Dracula.)
Although he had seen many powerful items and had several epic items on him, Levi couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this ring.
Other things are fine, but the effect of immortality alone is enough to drive 99% of the natives crazy. It is at least a legendary equipment.
It is unlikely to be more advanced, because starting from sub-artifacts, making them is often not just a matter of materials and craftsmanship, but also requires the infusion of divinity.
It is unlikely that Dracula himself possesses divinity, let alone using it to make equipment.
Even so, its value to vampires is basically equivalent to that of a sub-artifact.
Even Lucia couldn't ignore it, which was why her expression was so conflicted.
She has always been troubled by the Dracula bloodline in her body, but this ring requires his bloodline to exert its maximum effect.
However, now that its owner is Dracula, doesn't that mean he also has the ability to resurrect repeatedly?
Although Levi himself has the ability to purify evil objects, he doesn't think he can do anything about it with his current strength.
Therefore, if you want to completely kill Dracula, you still need the goddess to take action.
After a slight sigh, Levi returned the ring to Lucia. There was no use for him to keep it.
But if Lucia is determined, she has every chance of becoming the new generation of vampire queen, and may even be more powerful than the queen of the Lamia family.
Vampire Lord is a very powerful special advancement. In addition to improving individual strength, its greatest enhancement lies in the increase in the number and strength of its descendants.
As the name suggests, if an ordinary vampire can get the lowest level of title, he is no longer cannon fodder. If he is a viscount or earl, he will have a certain identity and status in the main world.
But this job change directly leads to Grand Lord, and you can imagine how powerful it can be just by thinking about it.
After taking the ring, Lucia looked quite conflicted again. Then she gritted her teeth and wanted to hand the ring to Alucard next to her.
Although it was only a minute or two, she seemed to have completely confirmed that she and this brother, whom she had never met before, had a common ultimate goal, which was to kill Dracula.
And they all chose to walk on the path of worshipping goodness and clean up other evil creatures by the way.
They cannot choose the bloodline they are born into, but they can decide what kind of vampire they will become in the future.
Even the succubi from the Abyss can become paladins, but their vampire nature is not as evil as that of the other party.
But Alucard didn't even glance at it, he just smiled and refused.
"No need, sister, it's yours, just keep it in your hands."
"Now, let's separate for a while. I want to go and investigate the secrets of the Lamia family."
Even though the female vampire had been killed and all the other vampires present had also been killed, he had been driven by the Lamia family for so long, how could this price be enough?
And the other party is also an evil vampire. No matter what the reason, he needs to deal with them.
Although Lucia still wanted to say something, she nodded in the end. After all, their destination was also the West, and there would be a chance for them to meet again in the future.
After smiling and bowing to Levi again, Alucard, who looked like a nobleman under the moon, transformed into a purple-black war wolf, crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, jumped into the darkness, and disappeared.
With such a speed, no matter whether he is Lucia's older brother or younger brother, judging from the strength he has shown so far, it can be said that Lucia is really just a younger sister in front of him.
But with the ring, I should be able to make up for a lot of the gap.
Even if she has no intention of developing offspring herself and does not need to be resurrected for the time being, the enhancement of attributes and those two skills can still greatly improve her strength.
He turned to look at Lucia, intending to ask.
Lucia understood what he meant instantly, and she couldn't help but look at him unhappily.
"He is my younger brother. His mother was a human doctor. Later, Dracula tricked her into having her body. Later, she found out that he had more than one woman. It seems that Dracula is casting a wide net, trying to create more offspring like me."
"Later, when Dracula and Alucard were away, the poor woman was captured by humans and burned at the stake as a witch."
"Although Alucard returned as soon as possible after hearing the news, he still had to watch his world being burned by the fire."
"At the last moment, she still did not forget to warn Alucard not to hate humans or take revenge on them because he is the son of humans."
"At first Alucard just felt grief, but he still obeyed his mother's last wish and did not seek revenge. But soon Dracula's many actions, mainly in his attitude towards humans, made him unbearable, and he began to oppose him."
"Later, by coincidence, he discovered that Dracula had many other women, and confronted him angrily, and eventually learned the truth."
"After the battle, he was defeated by Dracula, so his abilities and wisdom were sealed. Afterwards, he was picked up by a female vampire from the Lamia family."
Speaking of this, Lucia also sighed. It was hard to say who was more miserable between the two siblings.
But that doesn't matter now. What really matters is that she has a reliable backer on her way to fight Dracula.
In his prime, Alucard was a vampire close to legendary level!
Although he is a little different from her, he is not a daywalker and is still afraid of the sun, but as the son of Dracula and humans, he still has many special abilities in addition to the abilities of ordinary vampires.
The most obvious thing is that he can use fire magic, which is a legacy from Dracula, and it is another thing that Lucia is not clear about.
Therefore, there will be opportunities for communication between them in the future, which is also to better deal with Dracula.
Levi also sighed somewhat, and then he pondered for a moment: "Lucia, have you ever thought about what your next goal will be if everything goes well and Dracula is completely killed?"
"Of course, continue hunting other vampires!" Lucia said without hesitation.
"But it is very difficult to completely eradicate vampires. For high-level vampires, it is too easy to create offspring."
"Originally I had no idea, but now with this ring, we may have other ways. At least, we can control the harm of vampires within a certain range."
Lucia thought she understood what he meant, and she immediately refused: "No, Levi, I will never develop descendants."
"Of course, I don't want you to do that, but if you have the ability to control all the vampire ancestors, including the vampire queen..."
"Just think about it. Under your command, the damage caused by vampires will be reduced by many times."
Although he wanted the other party to become a partner fighting alongside him, he would not prevent the other party from achieving a brighter future.
Lucia's heart suddenly beat fast. Indeed, just as Levi said, if she could become a real vampire queen and strictly control all vampires, perhaps she could really eliminate this evil race completely!
At this moment, a cheer suddenly came from the other side, followed by continuous cheers.
Even without looking back, Levi knew that the battle here was almost over.
Ordinary undead certainly have no morale and will fight to the death in the true sense of the word, but they have too many weaknesses. Under the current circumstances, their failure is only natural.
Levi smiled immediately: "Let's go, Lucia, you still have a lot of time to make a decision, now go meet our mysterious reinforcements!"
