Chapter 102 (1/2)

“Bang! Fwoosh!”

A violent crash was followed by a piercing whoosh. The battle between werewolf and vampire continued. Hao Ren had no way to intervene, let alone look for a chance to attack the werewolf with his black pike.

Vivian was still holding the upper hand. She was flapping her wings and floating mid air, relying on her swarm of bats as well as terrible, blood mist to suppress Casar Ebben. She used the combination flight and remoteness of the location to her advantage in order to make her invincible. While Casar Ebben was the underdog in the battle, it did not look like he would be defeated easily. The werewolf’s Dark Fog was able to withstand Vivian’s blood mist. He could recover in the blink of an eye even if he was accidentally injured. The strong physical strength and resilience of that werewolf seemed to have no end. The both of them fell into a tug of war.

However, as the battle continued, the confusion in Casar Ebben’s heart got more and more unbearable. Vivian seemed to be much weaker than he had imagined. She was not as strong as mentioned in his family records.

The Ebben family encountered Vivian before a long time ago. When the long-living vampire was still running around the world, she basically had something to do with all the famous unusual creatures on the planet. Although most of the unusual families had become extinct in the present, the rest of them still kept a record of Vivian. Casar Ebben learned about the weird title, “Countess of the Crimson Moon” from his family records and knew that she was the vampire whom his ancestors were quite afraid of. If she could make a great family of werewolves in their heyday afraid of her and deliberately leave a record about her, it meant she was not an ordinary vampire. Casar Ebben was even prepared to die heroically as he fought with Vivian.

Yet, when he found that a young werewolf who was less than 300 years old like him could be a match for the vampire countess who had lived thousands of years, he immediately had doubts. Was it really the old monster that lived for countless years?

However, the hesitation in his mind did not distract him during the battle. He clearly knew that even if the countess in front of him was different from the one recorded in history, she was definitely stronger than him.

Hao Ren knew nothing about Vivian’s glorious past and had no way to intervene in the battle of the two super creatures. He observed the situation. After confirming that Casar Ebben was entangled by the vampire maiden and had no time for him, he acted on his own.

He looked up at the warehouse’ outer wall beside him. There was a row of windows covered with Dark Fog, eight or nine meters above the ground. Logically speaking, the battle was definitely creating loud noise in the area. No matter how obtuse Lily was, she should have known that they had come for her. But Lily had not burst out of the warehouse. It meant that there was something off about the Dark Fog. Lily was unable to escape with her current skill.

Hao Ren could not reach Lily via phone. He decided to try climbing into the room to see the situation inside.

He decided to climb the wall directly instead of entering the warehouse via the front door or back door for a reason—another werewolf did not appear yet, perhaps he was waiting at one of the doorways for the ‘vampire’s accomplice’ to walk into a trap. Therefore, he felt that it may have been safer to climb through the window. Plus, Vivian was watching on this side of the building. Even if there was an accident, he would be able to get support. It was likely for him to meet another werewolf on the other side and fight it alone. To be frank, Hao Ren, who did not have much combat experience was not confident about it all.

The outer wall of the warehouse was smooth. There was nowhere he could grip and the bottom half was frozen with a thick layer of ice. However, these did not stop him. Hao Ren warmed up his hands and feet. He then knocked on the wall twice to confirm its hardness, clenched his teeth and stamped his foot, trying to imagine himself as a martial arts master. “Hah!” He abruptly thrust his fingers into the reinforced concrete wall like his hand was a knife!

The pain was unbearable.

Unexpectedly, it worked. His fingers stuck deep into the concrete wall, like poking tofu. It seemed that his fingers were not broken or bleeding. Apart from the pain in his hand, there was no difference from the martial arts masters on TV. Hao Ren believed that the aches and pains were caused by an imbalance in his body enhancement (sensory and limb strength did not match). Therefore, he was determined to bite the bullet and abandon any distracting thoughts. He climbed up to the row of windows step by step and soon reached the half point. He heard a roar coming from Casar Ebben’s direction. Apparently, the werewolf had noticed Hao Ren’s movements. However, Vivian did not give him any chance to get away so all he could do was just keep roaring.

The other werewolf did not appear yet. Hao Ren wondered what the guy was doing. Nonetheless, the most important thing at that moment was to figure out the Dark Fog that hung over the windows. He moved, huffing and puffing along the wall. The pain caused by the constant stabbing of his fingers into the cement wall had gradually numbed and he soon reached the first window. The Mobile Data Terminal floated out of his pocket. As it circled around the Dark Fog, it asked seriously, “Idiot, doesn’t your hand hurt? Don’t you remember that you have a Steel Membrane Shield?”

Hao Ren was silent.

If not for his fingers being stuck in the wall and not falling out easily, he would have fallen down right on the spot!

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier!”

“Who knew you were so stupid?”
