In the neighborhood not far from the castle.

"Quick, quick, this way!"

"Bringing the steam sphere will help us avoid being tracked by the vampires!"

Feiya stood in the crowd, directing the survivors to evacuate in an orderly manner.

Randy, covered in sweat, helped him, glancing occasionally toward the castle with a mixture of wariness and confusion in his eyes.

"Strange...why didn't they catch up?"

"Furthermore, were those two people just now the patriarchs of other families?"

Upon hearing this, Fei Ya said, "It was the men in black from yesterday who held them back."

"Huh? He's still alive!?"

Randy was somewhat surprised; the mysterious man in black was his savior and seemed to have some deep-seated hatred for the vampires.

The fact that this person is still alive is undoubtedly good news.

But Fei Ya revealed a complicated expression: "Although he is very strong, I'm afraid he might not be able to handle three clan leaders among the vampires..."

clang--

Before he finished speaking, a heavy, metallic clang echoed from the castle.

Its penetrating power is so strong that it can be heard within a radius of hundreds of meters.

"This is?"

Upon hearing this sound, many survivors paused briefly and couldn't help but glance hurriedly towards the castle.

That single glance was enough to witness a scene they would never forget.

Beneath the blood moon, a stunning sword light, intertwined with black and red, slashed straight out from inside the castle like a new moon.

In that instant, the brilliance of the sword light seemed even more dazzling and radiant than the blood moon in the night sky!
After a brief moment of dead silence.

The upper part of the castle slowly fell down from the cut made by the sword light.

Rumbling--

The cutting-edge building crashed to the ground with a deafening roar.

The earth shook violently, and dust billowed everywhere.

Then, three figures rushed out from above the castle.

Their movements were so fast that the survivors below couldn't see them clearly at all, only barely able to make out that there was one dark shadow and two bloody shadows.

The shadowy figure seemed to be holding an enormous giant sword!

clang!clang!clang!
To the astonishment of the onlookers, the three figures transformed into three streaks of light, constantly colliding, clashing, and entangled.

A terrifying, mysterious force surged around them.

Even from this distance, the survivors could imagine how intense the battle was.

Feiya's gaze was also somewhat vacant.

Because he saw that even when fighting two opponents, the shadowy figure wielding the giant sword was still in the upper hand!

Every move the man made exuded pure violence; with simple slashes and sweeps, he forced the two blood-red figures to flee in panic or resort to other means to fight back.

"What a powerful physique..."

"And that greatsword, it seems to have a restraining effect on vampires?"

"But why wasn't he this strong the last time I saw him? Could it be that he was in some kind of state of unleashing his potential?"

Phya's guess was correct.

After a period of violent crushing, the black shadow suddenly slowed down, and the power it displayed was much less than before.

The two vampire patriarchs were overjoyed and quickened their pace of attack, causing the shadowy figure to be constantly restrained and injured multiple times.

Seeing this, Fei Ya sighed softly, feeling a little regretful.

But at that moment, the dark figure high above burst into laughter.

"You won this time, but so what?"

"Tomorrow night, I will return like lightning."

"……Um?"

Fei Ya was filled with doubt and surprise, but before he could figure out the meaning of these words, he was still in shock.

A burst of intense light suddenly emanated from the center of the dark figure.

Although that radiance is different from the heat of steam, it also possesses a very obvious "sacred" attribute.

The two vampire patriarchs who were the first to be hit immediately let out extremely shrill screams, their bodies bursting into pure white flames, and then they fell from mid-air.

But after the light faded, the shadow also disappeared.

Feiya and the others felt a sense of loss, but at the same time, a glimmer of incredible hope rose within them.

"Perhaps... he really will return tomorrow?"

……

……

[Submarine mission over!]

Please select your loot!

【1. Blood Demon Sword (Deirdre)】

2. Bloodstone Fragment

3. Dolan Sysis' right hand

"call……"

In the captain's cabin, Shane let out a long breath, as if some indescribable murmurs and delirium still lingered in his ears.

This is certainly not the influence of Deirdre, but rather a symptom left behind after being driven out by the Crimson Lord again after using the [Radiant Amulet].

But whether it was Xia En's imagination or not, the symptoms seemed to be much milder this time than last time.

"Could it be that you can get used to this thing?"

Xia En muttered a complaint to himself, then reviewed the previous battle.

"As expected, it's still a bit too much to fight two second-tier Mystic Path practitioners alone?"

have to say.

Vampires are really not easy to kill.

Especially for vampires of the fourth rank or higher, beheading or piercing their hearts is not enough to kill them.

This allowed the two clan leaders to drag things out until the end of the "second phase" and survive by sheer luck.

"However, fighting three against one, killing one and seriously injuring two, and also gaining a lot of ship soul experience, this round has already been a huge win!"

Deirdre truly lives up to her reputation as a stage boss, granting an exceptionally generous amount of ship soul experience, a full 10%, which is entirely commensurate with her strength.

Afterwards, Shane glanced at the panel and decisively chose option 1 as the loot.

【The Blood Demon Sword (Deirdre)】

[Quality: Rare]

[Type: Weapon]

[Description: A greatsword forged from the blood of Deirdre, the matriarch of the Fallon family.]

[Effect 1: Permanence - Because it imprisons Deirdre's soul, it can exist permanently until the soul dissipates.]

[Effect 2: Blood Drinking - Automatically draws blood from wounded enemies.]

[Effect 3: Curse Contamination - When harming a creature with blood, Deirdre's hatred and madness will be injected into the target as a curse. This effect is doubled against vampires.]

[Note: Will continuing to devour the souls of vampires make this demonic sword even more powerful?]

A truly exceptional item!
After reading the weapon's description, Xia En's eyes lit up slightly.

He originally thought this weapon would be like the other Blood Swords, just a disposable item, but he never expected that he could actually bring it out of the Blood Moon Secret Realm!
The ability to continue growing also pleased Xia En. "With it, wouldn't it be twice as effective at killing vampires?"

"Take a break, and we'll fight again tomorrow!"

After a night of fighting, Shane was somewhat exhausted.

After a quick wash, he lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

……

……

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Blood Moon Realm, a strange legend about the Faceless Shadow has appeared out of nowhere.

Whenever the blood moon rises, a strange figure dressed in a trench coat and wielding a greatsword wanders through the old city.

He will emerge from the shadows where no one is around and ruthlessly behead the vampires.

It is said that the souls of vampires whose heads he cut off are imprisoned in that blood-red greatsword, becoming one of its tragic sacrifices.

The various clan leaders also sent large numbers of people to besiege and suppress them.

But what terrified them was that even if they paid a huge price to successfully kill this man, he would reappear when the next blood moon rose.

Like an immortal ghost wandering the city!

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the fact that his face is hidden in the shadows and his true appearance cannot be seen, that he is called "The Faceless Shadow".

Some weaker vampires are more accustomed to calling him—

[The Faceless Serial Killer!]

In just half a month, the number of vampires who died in the secret realm was more than the total number of deaths in the past few years!

But what is a nightmare for vampires is undoubtedly a blessing for outsiders.

Many who ventured into the Blood Moon Realm survived or were given a brief respite because of the Faceless Shadow.

at the same time.

An organization called the Blood Hunters has appeared in the secret realm.

They are composed of survivors trapped in this place, and their goal is to hunt vampires and rescue other explorers. They are constantly gathering people and expanding their power.

Even many second-tier secret cultivators from the three major pirate groups have joined the Blood Hunter Society.

Under guerrilla tactics, the Blood Hunters have indeed caused a lot of trouble for the vampires.

At this moment.

In the ancient courtyard where the blood-red moonlight could not reach.

With a devout expression, Fia placed her right hand, made of a steam device, on the shoulder of an injured person.

May the steam protect you.

As the sacred steam spread, foul blood was gradually squeezed out of the wounds and evaporated with the steam.

The pain on his face subsided, and the bloodshot in his eyes quickly disappeared.

"Praise be to the god of steam and steel."

The injured man said, "Thank you, Mr. Fei Ya."

"It's just a little effort."

Feiya smiled and then called to the next injured person.

In fact, the most troublesome method used by vampires is their ability to manipulate and contaminate blood.

Some members of the secret path may experience temporary loss of blood control and cardiac arrest after being injured. Even worse, some may be corrupted and become blood slaves!
Conventional treatments cannot cure this type of injury.

Fortunately, the sacred steam is precisely the nemesis of "turbid blood".

It is thanks to Fei Ya's help that the Blood Hunter Society has been able to persevere to this day.

"Miss Phia, are you an angel?"

Not far away, Randy watched as Feiya, who seemed to radiate holy light, healed the wounded one by one, and couldn't help but show admiration and respect.

The Blood Hunter member next to him had a strange expression: "Didn't Mr. Fei Ya already say he was a man? Why are you still calling him 'Miss'?"

"I do not believe!"

Randy said confidently, "That must have been a lie told by Miss Faia to protect herself."

"...You're hopeless."

Just then, a rustling sound came from outside the house, mixed with some low growls and roars.

Everyone's expression immediately changed.

Feiya stood up abruptly, grabbed the Titan's Grip beside her, and shouted, "The Blood Slaves have come! Prepare for battle!"

Randy muttered a curse under his breath, "Damn it, how come it's so fast this time?"

Fei Ya's beautiful eyes flickered with emotion.

These last few times, the vampires came knocking on our door much faster than before.

He could guess the reason behind it.

As the Blood Hunter Society continued to grow, its members became a mixed bag, and some may have secretly sided with the vampires.

The group quickly ran out of the shelter, intending to fight the vampires while retreating.

Suddenly, they heard a vampire shout in terror.

"He's coming! Run!"

Before the words were even finished, the blood slaves and vampires around them scattered in panic and fled in all directions.

However, they were still a bit slow.

The next moment, a blood-red sword light slashed down from above!

boom!
Several vampire heads flew into the air, and the headless bodies fell like wheat being harvested.

Large numbers of blood slaves were directly crushed into mincemeat.

Under the blood-red moonlight, the black trench coat fluttered in the wind.

The figure wielding the greatsword exchanged a glance with Feiya before passing over the houses without pausing, quickly disappearing into the night.

"Thank you, Shadowless One."

Feiya said softly to herself.

Although he had not communicated with the other party in the past few days, the Blood Hunter Society and the Faceless Shadow had maintained a tacit alliance.

Not only will the [Shadowless] help them out, but they will also try their best to divert the attention of the vampires.

Or, after the [Shadow of No Form] lures away the powerful members of the vampire clan, they may launch a sneak attack on some vampire clan strongholds.

Even though we've never met before, it feels like we've known each other for a long time.

the other side.

Xia En had no idea what Fei Ya was thinking.

Without pausing, his figure transformed into a shooting star, catching up with a fleeing vampire, casually severing its head, and decisively absorbing it.

[Ship Soul Experience +1%]

Upon seeing this line of text, Xia En's face lit up with ecstasy.

"Finally...this day has come!"

After grinding through the Blood Moon Realm dungeon for so long, it's time to reap the rewards!
A familiar, cool, mysterious power surged into his body, and Xiao Hei's cheers rang out loudly, accompanied by the booming sound of ancient, mysterious waves.
