Chapter 184 - Town Of The Dead
“Master, what happened?” Liu Hao didn’t hear what Black Panther just said but he realized something must be wrong after seeing Lei Yu’s expression and tone of voice.
“The Dark Council found out I was not in the estate so they’ve surrounded it with a lot of people. Ai Er, Black Panther, Hu Jiong and others are all still inside so I have to rush back immediately. My injuries are mostly healed so I can’t delay this any longer. I’m afraid the Vatican can’t resist for too long since the Pope is the only one there who has the strength of a Sixth Order Warrior.” Lei Yu quickly explained to Liu Hao a short summary of the situation.
“Do you need my help as well?” Liu Hao asked.
Lei Yu waved his hand, “Their main assault force should be comprised of Vampire and Werewolf Lords, all of them with the strength of a Fifth Order, so even if you were with me, you won’t be able to help much. Cui Ying Ying is skill unconscious and no one knows you guys are here, so protecting her safety is your responsibility. If anything new comes up at the estate, I will let you know right away. Okay, time’s running out so I am leaving immediately.”
Liu Hao didn’t raise any other questions and silently prayed for his master’s safety. His only wish was for his master to emerge safely from this crisis.
Lei Yu didn’t bother driving a car because his maximum running speed was a lot faster. Without caring about energy consumption, he increased his speed to his limit. The support function of the Ares boots also played a crucial role. The only way to describe Lei Yu’s current speed was “lightning fast.”
While Lei Yu was running, he was wondering whether the super strong expert who was hidden in the shadows of the Dark Council would appear or not. If that super expert appeared, the Pope said the secret hidden inside the storage ring required two people to be present in order for it to execute its strongest attack. The extremely anxious Lei Yu somehow increased his speed once again.
Five hours. If he drove a car, it would originally take him about twelve hours to reach there but Lei Yu only used five hours. After briefly absorbing energy to recover, Lei Yu carefully observed the town’s surrounding as he hid himself. He had to observe what was going on in the town before advancing further.
It was exactly as Black Panther had said, Lei Yu couldn’t detect any signs of life from a human being. There were barely some animals which were still alive in the town. Lei Yu suddenly felt that he was the biggest sinner under the heavens. He felt like he was the one who brought this disaster onto the town by coming here. But thinking these thoughts right now wasn’t helping him, so it was best to figure how to deal with the situation.
Lei Yu detected a lot of humans who had been contaminated after their blood was sucked out by the Vampires, had transformed into Vampires themselves. Even though they only had the strength of a Viscount which was similar to a First Order Warrior, however, they were still considered a force to be reckoned with. After all, their numbers cannot be overlooked or ignored.
In addition, the way these Werewolves killed was reflected in the town looking like a city of death. The whole place was filled with the smell of death while the blood on the ground flowed like a river. Bodies were piled up like small mountains and a lot of them showed signs of being partially devoured, showing this was indeed the act of a Werewolf.
If he rashly rushed into the town, he would definitely be discovered. Lei Yu went around in a big circle before nearing the grounds of the estate from another direction. At lightning speeds, Lei Yu successfully escaped the attention of the eyes and ears of several Vampires and jumped over the wall.
But the estate grounds were considered fully guarded and alert. Near every portion of the estate walls would be at least two people standing guard, most likely arranged by the Pope. A group was about to attack Lei Yu but one of them recognized him and was immediately overjoyed. With Lei Yu’s return, it looks like this battle would soon be over.
Lei Yu followed behind the guard and went towards the castle manor. He started frowning as he saw bodies all over the ground. Lei Yu saw some of their own people but also bodies belonging to Vampires and Werewolves. The number of bodies were countless so it was clear that a massive battle and recently happened.
