Blackwater Gold Mine.

As the former economic lifeline of the town of Heishui, the entire mine has been excavated into a huge inverted spiral shape, with no bottom in sight.

After being forcibly acquired and occupied by the Church of Shadows, the mine became virtually off-limits to the town's residents.

Hungry ghouls roam the ground here, and bloodthirsty chimeras hover in the sky.

Even the weaker demon hunters dare not step into this place.

As night fell, a light rain began to fall on the mine, and a white fog obscured the view, reducing visibility to less than three meters.

Mo Lan stood by the mine, stepping on the muddy black soil, and looked down. He could only vaguely see ghouls wandering around.

Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared, and the head of a ghoul exploded open, falling to the ground with a thud.

Mo Lan looked toward that spot.

Outside the mine, a fully armed demon hunter team had already approached the gold mine in batches.

They are equipped with sophisticated gear and extraordinary bullets, each shot possessing considerable power, enough to deal with alien species with a danger level of 2.0 or lower.

Two hours had passed since Mo Lan left the tavern.

In those two hours, he completed his side quest, successfully finding the Prime Minister's daughter's... body.

It's very regrettable, but sometimes the outcome is just that cruel.

It will take some time for the news and the body to be returned to Victoria.

Li Ang and A Qiu, after reuniting with the Judgment Eagles, followed the troops to the gold mine.

The black "Judgment Eagles," nicknamed the Demon Slayers, are the most elite demon-hunting unit currently in the American government's arsenal, with each soldier being handpicked.

Their purpose is to eliminate and suppress those alien species and monsters that are beyond the control of the government.

At this moment, they were clearing away the ghouls and chimeras surrounding the gold mine and gradually advancing to the entrance of the gold mine.

Prior to that, Li Ang had an argument with Colonel Andrei over this very issue.

Li Ang believes that the operation to suppress the Shadow Church should be carried out swiftly. If they proceed step by step, the Shadow Church may be able to prepare in advance.

Therefore, he suggested directly storming into the gold mine to carry out a decapitation operation and eliminate the bishop and the true ancestor Garuda.

Andrei, on the other hand, believed that the decapitation strike was too risky and that they could simply rely on their superior equipment to launch a full-scale attack.

Ultimately, because command was in Andrei's hands, Li Ang had no choice but to carry out the other side's plan.

At the same time, deep within the gold mine, near the underground lava layer, the bishop of the Church of Shadows arrived before an altar.

He wore a dark red robe, and his face beneath the cloak was pale and withered.

In the very center of the altar, there was an old and heavy bronze coffin, which had survived a thousand years of wind and rain without decay.

The bishop knelt on one knee before the coffin, his index and middle fingers joined together and gently pressed against his forehead.

"Great Ancestor... Your most devout servant awaits your awakening to annihilate those ignorant fools who dare to invade."

However, the True Ancestor, sleeping in the coffin, did not directly respond to his call, but only left behind a single sentence:

"The new guards will take care of them."

Upon hearing this, the bishop could only slowly lower his head: "As you wish..."

True Ancestor's Personal Guard.

In the Golden Age, this was the standard configuration for every True Ancestor, usually consisting of one Earl-level bloodline and three Viscount-level bloodlines.

However, in this degenerate age, the power of the progenitor has just been restored, and the true ancestor has also weakened to the extreme, so naturally they cannot afford such a luxurious personal guard.

Garuda's personal guard actually consisted of only one person, and he seemed to trust this one person completely.

"BOOM!!"

Outside the gold mine.

Despite the fierce firepower of the demon hunters, the ghouls continued their relentless charge, surging forward like a churning sea of ​​rotting flesh.

But the Trial Eagles, as the elite demon-hunting force of the American government, are not to be stopped by these trash.

In just half an hour, the demon hunters pushed the front line to the huge cavern at the deepest part of the mine.

Further down lies the underground palace of the True Ancestor.

"It won't take a whole night, just two hours, to completely suppress this place."

Colonel Andrei was very confident about this.

Just then, a huge, robust vampire slowly emerged from the dark underground staircase.

He was wrapped in a black leather jacket, his face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.

With a casual punch, he smashed the ghoul on the rubble into a bloody mist, and his cold gaze fell on Andrei through the soldiers.

With just one glance, Andrei's heart skipped a beat.

"Be careful!"

Li Ang instantly realized something was wrong with this guy, and immediately drew his dagger and stood in front of Andrei.

The next second, a huge fist slammed into his dagger.

"thumping!!"

The immense impact caused the ground beneath Li Ang's feet to collapse and crack instantly.

Viscount Zog the Wrathful.

As one of the three viscounts of the Church of Shadows, Zog is different from Ed, a vampire who converted halfway through his life. He is a pure-blooded vampire who was personally resurrected by the True Ancestor Garuda.

Compared to half-bloods, pure-blooded bloodlines have stronger growth potential and base stats, and at the same level, they are definitely superior to half-bloods.

It might not be explained very clearly, but to describe Viscount Zog's strength in one sentence, it would be: a near-Earl at the peak of his power.

The difference between Earl and Viscount is that a Level 3 Earl-class vampire can create a defensive force field on their body surface by increasing the activity of their progenitor virus.

For vampires who require decapitation to be completely killed, the difference in strength brought about by this defensive barrier is enormous.

It's incredibly useful for dealing with opponents whose danger level is lower than your own; it's practically a god-tier skill for crushing weaker opponents.

Viscount Zog has already grasped the basics of how to use this ability, which is the difference between him and Ed.

"What terrifying power."

Li Ang gritted his teeth, enduring the heavy punches. The oppressive aura emanating from Viscount Zog was completely different from that of Ed.

Seeing this, Mo Lan, who was at the edge of the mine, also felt that it was time for her to take action.

"One, two, one..."

He stood at the edge of the cliff, warmed up a bit, stretched his shoulders, and then drew his Moon Shadow Blade.

Then, his figure disappeared from the spot.

If viewed from above, one would see a deep blue afterimage rushing straight from the mine to the underground palace at an extremely fast speed.

Excuse me.

Mo Lan was so fast that even the specially trained soldiers couldn't catch a glimpse of him.

They only felt a crackling flash of lightning pass by them, and then the heads of ghouls along the way were already flying high into the air.

It was something that came easily to me.

At this moment, the enraged viscount, who was in a stalemate with Li Ang, suddenly sensed a dangerous aura and instinctively raised his hand.

"Sizzle!"

Deep blue lightning roared on the back of the viscount's hand, and then something unexpected happened.

Mo Lan smiled, and the lightning bolts dancing in his hair gradually turned from blue to red.

That was one of the phenomena where the electric current and the breath of thunder merged and were pushed to their extreme.

The next moment, a sudden burst of crimson lightning instantly severed the enraged viscount's arm in two during mid-air.

It would be impossible to achieve this level using only Thunder Breathing, but Mo Lan's breathing technique is enhanced with his electric current propulsion.

The collision between the two caused a qualitative change in Mo Lan's attack.

This was a power he hadn't used when fighting Viscount Blade, saving it for this moment to finish the battle quickly.

Furthermore, compared to yesterday, the progenitor virus within Mo Lan's body has been further enhanced due to its absorption of Viscount Blade.

In other words, his physical condition was stronger when the virus was highly active.

The charge amplification driven by superimposed current can cause his danger level to approach 2.9 in a short period of time.

"Um?!"

The raging viscount was puzzled, because his defensive stance had not been effective at all when facing Mo Lan's attack.

As a vampire from the Golden Age, this attack, which was so effective against them, inevitably reminded him of the group of people from a thousand years ago.

Ripple warriors who employ various bizarre breathing techniques...
