Witch Monastery

call--

He stirred up a strong wind and rushed into the distance. As he flew, he turned his head and looked behind him with hatred.

Damn Nigel Hawthorne, how dare you ruin my business!

Just wait for me, one day, I will turn you into my derivative, and then I will make you experience the most humiliating and painful torture in the world!

You wait for me, you wait for me!

He was roaring wildly in his heart, but then he saw a blue light rushing out from the window he had just escaped from, and then rushing towards him!

Suddenly, von Stein was horrified!

He actually flew faster than me!

Terrible!

Suddenly, he no longer dared to say anything harsh and flew away in extreme humiliation.

At this moment, the residents on the streets of the Muse District looked up and saw two streams of light, one black and one blue, rushing towards the distance in the air, like two huge meteors. The blue one was obviously chasing the black one, and it was faster than the latter. In the blink of an eye, it would catch up with him!

Von Stein's heart was trembling, and at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a river appearing in front of him.

Vampires are not allowed to enter water because the flowing water will corrode their bodies like strong acid, making them ugly and weak.

But now, he was in a panic and didn't care about so much. As long as he could escape from Hawthorne's hands, he would dare to drill through even the lava!

This guy probably can't swim. Just go down and hide, and you'll be safe!

With such a lucky mentality, he rushed straight into the river with the posture of throwing objects from a high altitude!

Wow!

His entry into the water was extremely inelegant, causing a large splash of water. Countless seawater entered his mouth and nose, forcing him to spit out a large number of bubbles.

He glanced back again, still feeling a lingering fear, but then he saw in despair that the blue light that was chasing him also fell into the water, and at the same time, the wings behind him turned into fins, allowing him to chase him at a speed faster than himself!

The vampire had no idea that Hawthorne had learned the spell "Tasha's Transcendent Form" underwater. Thanks to Heidi's sharing, he was probably more flexible fighting in the water than on the shore!

Von Stein was unaware of all this. He waved his arms in vain and slid forward in despair, but Hawthorne caught up to him and stabbed him straight into the body with the double-headed sword in his hand: "Purification!"

He roared directly under the water, spitting out a series of bubbles. A warm white light shone from his sword blade, and then began to erode the soul of the vampire!

"Ugh——!"

The vampire's eyes widened, and he waved his hands, roaring in despair, "Don't kill me! I have a secret to tell you!"

Without caring about Hawthorne's response, he quickly told the secret in outline: "The Old Ones in the deep sea are about to awaken. Not only this city, but the entire world will fall into a huge disaster!"

He wailed, Hawthorne frowned, paused the purification, pulled the sword out of his body, lowered his head, and grabbed his collar: "What did you say?"

The power of magic protected him, and at this moment he could speak and breathe freely underwater. As long as "Tasha's extraordinary form" did not end, he might be more comfortable underwater than on land.

Von Stein gurgled and spit out a series of bubbles, then begged for mercy in extreme distress: "Take me up first, and then I will tell you in detail. I am drowning, the water is corroding my body!"

Hawthorne looked at him coldly and said, "Don't try any tricks." Then he picked him up and turned into a stream of blue light, flying back.

At the same time, he also used the communication stone to send a message to Anno and Fatima, then he flew back to the corridor of the theater along the glass he had broken, found the room where Anno was now, and then threw the vampire heavily to the ground.

"Cough-cough-!"

Von Stein was now completely wet, his long black hair was wet and spread out, and his tailcoat was wet and wrinkled, looking extremely ugly. He choked more than once when he was underwater, and now that he was thrown down, he couldn't stop coughing.

After coughing, he looked up and saw that in addition to Hawthorne, there were two other women waiting here, looking down at him coldly.

One of these two people was the Paladin who had just used "Holy Perception" to illuminate his whereabouts, and the other one made him stunned.

It was Fatima!

Is she awake too?

After seeing Fatima's face clearly, von Stein's thoughts turned into a thousand thoughts. Realizing that she was standing side by side with the Paladin girl, he smiled bitterly but with a hint of flattery: "Sister-in-law, this is a misunderstanding..."

Hawthorne folded his wings and spoke directly, interrupting his reminiscing and trying to beg for mercy: "Tell me, what else do you know?"

There was murderous intent in his eyes. His good mood for watching the show was disturbed, and he really didn't want to show any good face to this vampire.

Fatima turned her head away, unwilling to look at him. Von Stein's heart sank immediately, but he continued to comfort himself, since Fatima could stand here alive, there was no reason why he could not.

He stood up tremblingly and looked at Fatima. He didn't continue to make trouble for himself. He glanced at Hawthorne and continued, "Didn't she wake up too? Then you should have a basic understanding of this situation..."

"We were the ones who woke Ms. Fatima up," Hawthorne said. "She knows nothing about this, and it has nothing to do with what we are going to discuss today."

"You, vampire, tell me everything about yourself. What do you know?"

He stared at this guy, and von Stein showed a thoughtful expression: "Ah... I see..."

He was thankful that he woke up early and managed to escape. He took a deep breath and continued, "Since you have already set foot on that island, you should know the current state of the seal there."

"To be honest, it was not a coincidence that I was awakened from my deep sleep. It was because of the alarm that my brother left behind. He needed me to wake up and find out the details of this era."

As he spoke, his expression was serious: "And all of this is to fight against the Old Ones who destroyed our kingdom!"

Chapter 653: The Old Ones Awaken?

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the air suddenly became quite solemn. Von Stein took the opportunity to stand up from the ground, straightened his back, and said: "It is about to wake up, and bring its twisted and hateful followers to the land of the material world again, bringing endless pain and disaster to the living beings here!"

He said this, then turned his head and said to Hawthorne sincerely: "My brother had anticipated all of this at the beginning, so when the Old One showed signs of fully awakening, I would be awakened, investigate the specific situation in this era, and find a way to organize a coalition to eliminate the powerful enemy."

"Father, we are actually on the same side. Although I am a vampire, I also long for order and stability in the material world. The conflict between us is completely a misunderstanding!"

Hawthorne frowned and turned to look at Fatima: "Is it true?"

Fatima shook her head: "I don't know about this. I was buried earlier, and von Stein should be the last one..."

Hawthorne frowned and asked, "When did you wake up? What kind of sign would trigger the alarm on your island?"

The vampire said quickly, "It was the night of the last double moon. The energy of chaos was directed at the Old Ones of the Deep Sea that we were wary of. The alarm that was triggered woke me up. Since that day, I have been wandering in this era, searching for intelligence and preparing my strength."

Seeing Hawthorne's thoughtful and pondering expression, he quickly added: "What I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask Fatima. My brother regards the Old One as his mortal enemy, and he himself is too weak.

The loss each time I wake up is too great, so I was sent here first to prepare for all these disasters."

Beside him, An Nuo sneered: "So you keep saying that you are preparing to fight against the Old Ones, but you sneaked to the backstage of the fashion show and planned to attack the models who were changing clothes here? What kind of preparation is this!"

The vampire looked embarrassed for a moment, and smiled at her, "I'm really tired, so I decided to relax for a while."

Hawthorne looked at his face, his eyes flickering.

"I see." He said, nodding slightly, "Then may I ask, sir, how much have you prepared to fight against the Old Ones?"

Von Stein's expression froze for a moment, and he smiled awkwardly, "Not much actually. I spent more time understanding this world, and then accidentally became addicted to the eating, drinking and having fun of this era..."

"Honestly, your city is so much more beautiful than my time. It dazzles me. It's like today's fashion show. My heart is dead, but I still can't help wanting to encounter a romantic love here..."

He talked incessantly, packaging himself as an uneducated second-generation rich man, with a face full of vulgar and obsessed expressions, but he still changed the topic without leaving any trace.

Huo Sang looked like he was smiling, watching his performance quietly, and suddenly asked, "Where do you usually suck blood during this period of time?"

Fatima had told him that this guy had a strong desire for control, and that vampires were born with the ability to transform humans into vampire derivatives. He wouldn't believe that this guy hadn't developed a single subordinate in all this time.

However, von Stan shook his head decisively: "No, I'm not that low-level vampire who can't even resist his thirst for blood... Uh-"

Before he could finish his words, a sharp blade pierced his chest. Then, Hawthorne whispered, "Purification."

hum-

The warm white light lit up, and the dying von Stein's eyes widened instantly. His lips moved, and he wanted to say a few more words to beg for mercy, but he could not say a word. His body was swallowed by the white light, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

After a moment, Huo Sang retracted his double-headed sword, opened the system, looked at the 5,900 newly earned purification points, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "So weak!"

His original plan was to kill von Stein, a vampire. No matter how many secrets he had, he was unwilling to cooperate with this cunning and evil guy.

Being able to squeeze two pieces of information out of him was already a pleasant surprise. And this guy was still not honest, so if that was the case, it would be better to purify him and be done with it.

But he didn't expect that this guy would give so little. You know, even the Death Knight gave him more than 10,000 purification points...

Complaining in his heart, he looked up and saw that Annuo's face was filled with deep worry.

She looked up at Hawthorne, then at Fatima, and continued, "If what he said is true, then another Old One has awakened, and is coming with his army..."

Her worries were beyond words, and her heart could not calm down. It was hard for her to imagine that future, after all, just last year, the Lord of the Abyss, Monbot, awakened the Old One, Shude Meier, who was sleeping at the bottom of the mountains.

The great earthquake caused by the Great Old One permanently changed the terrain within a radius of more than 100 kilometers northwest of the city, and his followers, those terrifying burrowing insects, drilled a series of intricate underground mazes beneath the mountain area, and even opened up a passage between the surface and the underground world, allowing races such as the Dark Elves and Mind Flayers to sneak into the sewer system of Port Liberl.

The disaster caused by Shude Meier has almost permanently changed the situation in the city. It may take them many years of effort to eliminate the influence of this Old One.

But now, von Stein said that another fellow of the same level was about to awaken in the deep sea, and then bring his followers to indiscriminately attack everything around...

When Annuo thought about the possibility that these guys might attack Port Liber, he felt his heart twitching.

Hawthorne embraced her, patted her back gently, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, if the sky collapses, Ms. Vajra will hold it up. No matter how many monsters come, they can't defeat her adamantine colossus, right?"

An Nuo sniffed, but his face was still full of worry. Hawthorne also knew that she needed some time to adjust her mood, and then turned his head and looked at Fatima: "Well, Madam, although I really want to give you freedom and liberation now, you can see that now, a greater crisis is approaching this city..."

"We really have no experience in fighting against the Old One from the deep sea. We don't know its name, abilities, types of followers, etc. But perhaps..."

He spoke in this tentative way, and fortunately, Fatima understood what he meant without him having to say too much.

She sighed, "Okay, so I still can't rest in peace now, right?"

"I understand. I will continue to live until you get through this crisis safely."

Hawthorne breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that you think so."

Fatima's lips twitched slightly, then she turned her head and looked at

Outside the window: "Actually, I am a little curious now. Compared with the two countries a thousand years ago, many things have changed in this era, but many places seem to have not changed."

"I am also very curious about what this era has become like now."

……

Borneo, Kendra Port.

"Aamir Khan, did you see that? Did someone fall into the water over there?"

A middle-aged man with brown skin, a linen shirt, messy hair, and thick lips shouted loudly at the port. He was a typical human from the "Hengshui Tribe", and the young man he called out looked similar.

Located at the mouth of the mother river of Borneo, the Ganges River, it is the largest port city in the country. A hundred years ago, it was just a small fishing village with few people living here, but now, as the global trade network gradually takes shape, it has almost become the richest place in the country.

Although due to various reasons in the country, the Port of Kandla cannot be ranked among the best in the world, but in Borneo, it has become the capital of wealth that many people dream of.

Today, as the sun gradually rose, the boatmen began their normal work for the new day. However, no one could have imagined what would happen next.

"Let me see."

A young man named Amir Khan trotted over. He had also noticed the abnormal splash. However, just as he walked over, a pair of withered hands with long nails suddenly stretched out from the water.

"hiss--"

Then, a head that looked like a monkey, with a mouth wide open to the ears and as ugly as a devil, suddenly stretched out from the water, bared its teeth at Amir Khan on the shore, and then opened its mouth to bite him!

Chapter 654: Borneo

"what--!"

Fortunately, the young man reacted quickly, rolled backwards to avoid the attack, and screamed, "Water ghost! There is a man-eating water ghost!"

He rolled and crawled backwards, but this was only the beginning. Immediately afterwards, screams came one after another, and it was obvious that the attack was spreading everywhere in this port. The unarmed boatmen were instantly gripped by fear!

"It's a ghoul!"

In the distance, the captain of the port guard, wearing chain mail and holding a spear, shouted and directed everyone's actions: "Pick up your shields, be careful to block and dodge, and don't let them scratch your skin!"

As he said this, he grabbed the spear first, pointed it at the body of a ghoul in front of him, and stabbed it hard -

He was very strong and successfully stabbed the ghoul through. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, more ghouls roared and rushed to the front line in the distance, fighting with the guards who were only protected by leather armor!

Then, due to the numerical disadvantage, the guards were quickly defeated.

The teeth and claws of the zombies are not only sharp and can easily tear open their leather armor, but they also carry deadly poison. The guards whose skin is scratched by them will soon have symptoms of ulceration in the wounds, followed by weakness all over the body, unable to even hold their weapons!

The wails of pain continued, and the fear almost broke through the guards. Moreover, more undead, such as fish zombies, skeleton warriors, and even banshees in soul state, rushed out from the sea, roaring and rushing towards innocent civilians, instantly turning this place into a hell on earth!

The guards at the port realized that they were no match for these enemies and shouted to retreat quickly. However, the terrifying situation continued: the soldiers who were bitten to death quickly stood up again, with light blue soul fire burning in their pupils, and then they picked up their weapons and rushed towards their colleagues with roars!

In the distance, support troops were advancing, however, a huge shadow was cast down from the sky.

Everyone looked up in despair and saw a huge bone dragon, lowering its head and spewing out terrifying icy dragon breath towards them.

In an instant, the once prosperous port turned into a living hell.

……

Port of Liber.

Malena's fashion show was a complete success, and the subsequent reports caused a sensation in the city: open-minded people praised her for being bold and avant-garde, and for using this way to show the beauty of young girls; while serious and conservative people denounced her for breaking traditions and being immoral, and denounced this generation as a "degenerate generation."
