Knight and Wand

Chapter 362 Monster
The sound of dense gunfire rang out.

Dozens of black-clad guards took turns firing their guns. The metal bullets penetrated the air at a speed more than twice the speed of sound, weaving a web of death fire.

In the dim and bloody ceremony hall, violent alternations of light and dark flickered back and forth, blood pools and the ceremony platform splattered scarlet, and bullets shattered the corpses of the sacrifices on the ground into pieces.

The fire snake chased after two ghostly afterimages until two loud bangs and smoke and dust obscured the view.

The two living people, who seemed to have walked out of an ancient painting, actually crashed through the thick walls on both sides of the hall and disappeared into the collapsed hole.

"**!"

The leader of the guards opened his scarlet eyes, unable to believe that a living being could have such speed and strength. He raised his hand to stop firing, forced himself to calm down, and issued orders in a low voice.

The well-trained team members quickly switched the empty magazines. The teams divided into groups, bent down and stepped over the bloody corpses under their feet, and advanced towards the holes in the collapsed walls on both sides.

Another team turned and walked out of the hall, trying to outflank the two invaders from the outer corridor.

"***, ****!" A pale blood descendant who retreated to the back looked down at his headless companion who was still twitching and squirming, and roared angrily at the guards.

As for the blood descendants wearing cloaks, they ran out of the hall in groups of three or five with grim expressions, as if trying to leave here as soon as possible.

The guards' military boots made a slight crunching sound as they stepped on the bloody floor.

Soon, the hall returned to silence, and the vampire guards moved forward while listening to the movements of the enemies behind the wall.

Suddenly, the slightest sound of metal cutting through the air reached the ears of the guard leaning against the wall.

Right across the street!

As this thought flashed through his mind, he tried to quicken his pace to bypass the hole in the collapsed wall.

However, the next second, he inexplicably felt his body falling downwards uncontrollably.

The body has never felt so light.

Turning his vision downward, he gradually saw clearly the lower half of his body standing there.

Only at this moment did he see the sharp blade that had cut through the wall like butter, flashing with blood and then being retracted.

He fell to the ground with a thud, and the sharp pain of being cut in half was transmitted to his consciousness. A shrill scream came from the guard's fang-filled mouth. His fingers tightened instinctively and touched the trigger. The muzzle of the gun went off, and a series of sparks and craters swept across the walls and the dome.

Almost at the same time, on the other side, in the dimly lit corridor, Olivia, who had drawn her blood-stained sword, heard the vampires coming from the front, and her footsteps suddenly stopped outside the corner.

The other party paused for half a breath, and the girl only heard a slight whisper, and then two small oval objects were thrown into the corridor one after another.

Is it a kerosene bomb?
The girl's super-fast reaction speed made her look at the strange thing slowly flying through the air with puzzled eyes.

Although she knew she was not afraid of fire, the girl's caution due to her experience in many battles still made her retreat without hesitation, and she suddenly raised the Holy Sword of the Sun from behind.

The tremendous energy in the body is released from the sword blade.

--boom!

The blast caused the entire row of glass windows in the corridor to explode into pieces in an instant.

The sword wind blew the two projectiles back along their original path, hitting the statue at the end with a bang and bouncing back around the corner.

"***!"

Before the vampires could finish their curse-like exclamations, there was a sharp and intense sonic boom and flash, followed by a flash of explosion flames that spurted out from the corner. The incredibly powerful explosion caused rubble and broken limbs to fly everywhere.

The two loud noises made Olivia's keen hearing feel slightly numb even from a distance.

Abandoning the enemy who had turned the corner to suffer the consequences, Olivia spun on the spot with her sword before it even fell, heading towards the muzzle of the gun that was sticking out of the hole in the wall.

Seeing that the magic crossbow, which was like an enlarged version of Heraen's molten fire gun, was firing again, Olivia's falling sword blade turned slightly, and used the blade to block the high-speed "gun arrow" in front of its forward trajectory. In an instant, there were sharp and crisp sounds and sparks, as if it had hit some kind of barrier, and no one could penetrate the girl's sword blade that was flashing with cold light.

This was the reason why she and Leon chose to change the battlefield almost at the same time. Facing the high-speed projectiles of crossbows, one-way shooting was much easier to deal with than the killing trajectory surrounded from all directions, especially now that her body felt inexplicably dull and heavy as if filled with lead.

The girl walked in the rain of death fire with her steel boots as fast as if she was strolling in the garden, and she quickly passed through the twisted shrapnel bouncing between the walls and floor of the corridor.

The guard who witnessed this horrific scene had already changed from his original calm point-by-point shooting to pulling the trigger in panic. Even looking back on his decades of military career before he shed his mortal body, he had never seen such a terrifying warrior.

The terrified screams and silence coming from the other side of the headset made the remaining vampire guards feel uneasy.

The leader in black rushed out from the side of the team members decisively, and sprayed a rain of bullets at the armored girl rushing towards him, trying to use the firepower covering the corridor to forcibly suppress this inhuman monster in human skin. The deafening sound of "boom, boom, boom" echoed wildly in the corridor.

One breath, two breaths——!
Occasionally, when she felt that her power was completely lost, there was no need to dodge the shrapnel. Olivia used her thick plate armor to resist the broken fragments. In just three breaths, she rushed forward like an unstoppable beast and dragged the battle into close combat.

A sword struck the black-clad vampire on the top of his head.

The Holy Sword of the Sun cut the enemy in half with a vertical slash, and then used a cross blade to cut the last enemy who had abandoned his gun and barely pulled out a dagger to defend himself.

Blood gushed out from the two bodies like a fountain, dyeing Olivia, who had no place to dodge, like a scarlet devil walking out of hell.

The girl turned the handle and blood trembled. As she swung the blade, the blood stains left on the sword fell onto the walls and floor covered with bullet holes.

She helplessly shook off the iron glove on her left hand that had been deformed by the forceful grip, revealing her clean palm. She wiped the blood off her face, and her bright golden hair was almost dyed bright red.

Walking forward, Olivia raised her greaves and steel boots and skillfully crushed the head of the vampire undead that was still crawling halfway. Then she walked back to the hall and slashed the remains of another enemy that she had just cut in half through the wall with her sword.

He searched the hall with his cold golden eyes, taking in the bloody scene filled with bodies of people tortured to death. After confirming that there were no more enemies here, he quickly walked out of the main door of the hall.

In the front hall outside the door, the broken limbs and corpses of vampires were laid out like a bloody carpet all the way to the exit of the hall. She saw the tall back of her husband, who was also covered in blood.

——Dongdong! !

Two gunshots were heard, and the powerful bullets blew up the head of the vampire in front of him, who was roaring and muttering incomprehensible words, and it was unclear whether he was begging for mercy or threatening.

With a ding, the crisp sound of an empty chamber reminded Leon that the gun he had snatched was out of ammunition.

Lifting the weapon full of industrial and design sense, Leon looked at this compact rifle with complicated eyes. Although he had never seen the model before, the shape was basically the same as the firearms on Earth in his previous life.

Throwing it aside for the moment, he looked at Olivia who was walking towards him quickly, and was not surprised that his little lion was unharmed except for being covered in blood.

Although when facing the gun, Leon was instinctively startled by the memories of the past.

But when he sensed the trajectories of bullets coming towards him, he also realized that he was no longer the fragile Earthling he used to be, as he was able to twist solid steel with his bare hands.

Olivia lifted up her battle robe and wiped the Ancestral Blade. She couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Just now in the corridor, I saw a few strange carriages without beasts of burden running away in the yard downstairs. Should we chase them?"

"It's hard to catch up. Besides, catching up with those escaped vampires doesn't make much sense for us right now. We have to find out where this place is first and leave here as soon as possible."

Leon shook his head. He didn't know if these vampires who couldn't even turn into mist would have reinforcements, especially since he was enduring the discomfort and was in a very bad state. Although it felt great when he threw the lightning spear to string those gun-wielding vampires together like a candied haws, the magic power he consumed was much more than he expected. If he continued to fight, he was afraid that after the effect of the Boiling Heart disappeared, the magic power in his body would drop to a point that was not enough to summon the Holy War Knights.

Leon turned and walked towards the column beside him.

The robed vampire who had just given orders had his hands and feet cut off and was nailed to a pillar with a magic spear, but he was not dead yet.

"****!***!" The vampire who was cut into a human stick by Gungnir cursed while struggling.

Leon shook his head, took off the difficult-to-use iron gloves, and suddenly pressed his five fingers on the opponent's forehead like iron clamps.

"Even when facing ordinary death row prisoners in the dungeon, I rarely use this method. But when facing monsters like you who have committed beastly acts, I don't have any psychological burden." A dazzling white light flashed in the depths of his dark eyes.

Chanting incantations and constructing a soul-learning formula, Leon penetrated his consciousness deeply into the target's brain like a torrent.

He frowned slightly, as if he had plunged into a bloody red fog.

Even though he used the most direct and brutal method without any scruples to try to read the other person's soul.

However, the spell structure was so difficult to maintain at this moment. The consciousness picture that should have been clear could only read abstract and vague voices and heart sounds.

Although my soul magic skills are not perfect, they should not be this bad.
Ignoring the miserable screams of the vampire in front of him, Leon pondered, and the ominous speculation that had been shrouding him just now emerged in his mind more and more clearly.

Could it be that Olivia and I were thrown into a completely different realm or dimension by those damned blood demon tentacles?

——Bang! ! !

The popping sound like a balloon or a watermelon brought Leon's thoughts back to reality. The vampire head in his palm was blown to pieces by the chaotic magical energy.

Leon was stunned, and had no choice but to retract his palm covered with brains and flesh, and shook off the sticky substance between his fingers in disgust.

I wasted some magic power, but still couldn't see anything particularly useful.

but
Leon looked up and glanced at the device on the pillar that looked like a camera that he had just destroyed.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time
