Chapter 34：The Battle of Old Enemies (1/2)
Van Helsing had summoned his courage to come.
Although he used to deal with these monsters in the past, they were mostly alone, and to be honest, he had no confidence this time.
In addition to the four-hundred-year-old vampire, there was that demon lurking in the dark. And either of them was very difficult to deal with.
He did not know what the outcome would be this time, so he went alone without Carl. He only asked Carl to pay attention to the news, and then Carl would inform the church should he die.
However, after entering the castle and finding Dracula, he realized that matters were much more serious than he thought. He saw the bodies of Anna and Viken. In the two hours that he was delayed, the Villelis family had perished!
At this moment, amid the thunder and lightning, Van Helsing felt immense pressure. It seemed to be from the attention God paid here.
In the castle, Dracula was annoyed. He had launched an attack on Roy and was easily flung away once again. When he climbed up from the rubble, he found that Roy had disappeared. Although he could still smell the light demonic aura, showing that Roy was still in the castle, Dracula felt uneasy about Roy's abnormal actions.
And without further ado, Van Helsing appeared. At his first sight of Van Helsing, Dracula recognized his old enemy at once. He finally understood that Roy was going to let him deal with Van Helsing!
”We finally meet again, Gabriel!” Dracula did not panic at all as he smiled courteously at Van Helsing.
Usually, how would a man like him who had transacted with a demon and turned into a monster dare to speak to the legendary Archangel Gabriel in such a tone? Dracula was not pretending to be courageous. He knew that although Van Helsing's background was great, he was actually only one of the many incarnations of Gabriel! Not only that, but he was one of the weaker incarnations.
Otherwise, how could Dracula have lived for so long and not died four hundred years ago?
”What did you call me? Van Helsing was confused, as he had no recollection of his identity.
Dracula told Van Helsing about his life experience and his true origin, the incarnation of an angel who lost his wings…
However, Van Helsing did not care about his true identity. He walked to Anna's body, gently reached out to close her eyes, and coldly asked Dracula, ”Did you kill them?
”No, no, no!” Dracula shook his finger. ”I won't claim the credit of others. The one who killed them is the true demon! You should also be able to smell that he's in the castle and probably somewhere observing us…”
And now, this demon hid without a word, leaving him here to face Van Helsing. Dracula could not fathom at all what this demon wanted to do. His actions were all so mysterious…
Van Helsing carefully smelled the scent in the air. But unfortunately, with the rain pouring outside, the smell of rainwater had filled the castle with the strong wind blowing into it, diluting the smell. All he could only smell was the faint demonic aura emitting was from the rubble in the corner.
That pile of rubble was left behind by the unlucky Lucius, who was hit by Dracula when Roy flung him…
The demon lurking in the dark made shivers run down Van Helsing's spine, yet all he could do was to take a deep breath. He suddenly pulled out the repeating crossbow hidden behind his back and fired at Dracula!
Swish Swish! One after another, silver crossbow arrows flew at Dracula. Dracula quickly turned into a vampire the moment Van Helsing started. Van Helsing continuously adjusted the crossbow to tail Dracula as he flew around, but he was always a step too slow, and the arrows missed him by a bit each time.
After a while, the crossbow in his hands made a clicking sound. It had run out of arrows! Van Helsing instantly threw the crossbow away, drew out his pistol, and started firing!
