Late at night.
The entire city was dead silent. As far as the eye could see, only a thick, pitch-black shadow shrouded the entire city. No one dared to light up the lights. The originally lively city had become as silent as a graveyard.
But for some people, they preferred a graveyard.
"Is this the place?"
Looking at the tall building shrouded in the night, Jenn frowned, then looked at Egret beside him.
Facing Jenn's questioning gaze, Egret nodded.
She reached out, pointed to the building in front of her, and whispered to Jenn.
"Yes, Sir Overlord. According to our investigation, the ritual scene is right below the church."
"In other words, if nothing goes wrong, it won't be long before that undead guy is resurrected."
Upon hearing Egret's words, Jenn raised his head and glanced at the night sky. Above the night sky, a silver moon was hanging high in the sky. Looking at the time, it was almost the darkest time of the night.
It was also the time when the Lady Of The Night was at her strongest.
If it were possible, Jenn really didn't want to meet her face to face. But considering that "that thing" might exist at the ritual scene, he decided to explore again with Egret, and at the same time, completely destroy the strange ritual.
There was no one around the church, and even the guards in charge of guarding the gate were nowhere to be seen. Under such circumstances, no one dared to come here to check on the situation, let alone in the middle of the night. Unless one was suicidal, otherwise, it was impossible to come here to investigate.
No one came to investigate at night. Even the bold vagrants and thieves didn't take the opportunity to collect some belongings here.
After all, this was the church. If they encountered any curse or other troublesome things, it would simply be suicidal.
The wall that was blasted by Reemilia last night was still empty, but it was covered with a piece of rain cloth to cover the large gap.
This was meaningless to Jenn and Egret.
Soon, they once again came to the reception room where the fierce battle took place yesterday.
At this moment, the corpses behind the church had already been cleaned up by the guards who rushed over after hearing the news. Only the blood stains on the walls and the furniture that was destroyed by the intense battle were still there, showing how intense the battle was.
The other vampires also disappeared without a trace. According to Egret, today's battle was no longer suitable for them to participate. Moreover, the Egret Family was already sparsely populated, and many people were sacrificed in last night's battle. It was better for them to return to the family first.
"Hmm?"
The instant they stepped into the church, Reemilia let out a cry of surprise. Then, she turned around curiously and gazed to the other side.
Seeing the little guy's expression, Jenn frowned and asked.
"What happened?"
"… I think I saw someone running over there just now …"
Reemilia pointed at the pitch-black corridor without the slightest hint of fear. On the contrary, her adorable little face was filled with excitement.
"Should we go and take a look?"
"There's no need."
Looking in the direction Reemilia pointed, Jenn shook his head, turned around, and walked away.
Seeing that Jenn once again rejected her proposal, Reemilia snorted coldly, clenched her little fist, and waved it hard at Jenn's back.
Discontentedly, he slowly followed behind. At the same time, the little fellow did not forget to grumble.
"This idiot. Her brain isn't working well, and her eyes are blind. You saw it too, right? There was indeed someone there just now, right?"
"Eh?
This … "
Facing Reemilia who suddenly turned to her for advice, Elyse was taken aback and didn't know what to say.
Ever since Zayen summoned Remilia, she had never looked at Elyse in the eye. It was as if Elyse was air.
On the other hand, Elyse didn't dare to provoke a high vampire who was as terrifying as Pattilina. She was always careful not to get on Reemilia's bad side. But now, Reemilia suddenly changed her attitude and wanted to talk to her. Elyse didn't know how to answer this question.
"I knew it. I clearly saw it …"
As though getting the answer from Elyse's expression without permission, Reemilia finally turned around in satisfaction, muttered, and continued to walk forward.
Gazing at Reemilia's back, Elyse could only sigh helplessly and keep up. Come to think of it, did she really see it just now?
Didn't she see it?
Or did she see it?
Under Egret's lead, Jenn and the others passed through the reception room, passed through a narrow and quiet corridor, and finally arrived in front of a heavy door.
Egret turned around and glanced at Jenn. Then, she stretched out her hands and pushed open the wooden door in front of her.
Shortly after, the scenery in front of them unfolded in front of them.
What emerged in front of Jenn was a quiet courtyard. Judging from the structure and appearance, this should be the backyard of the Church of the Harvest. Perhaps because it hadn't been taken care of for a long time, there were overgrown weeds everywhere. The hazy moonlight shone from above the night sky, clearly illuminating a circular open space in the middle of the courtyard. There were 13 stone pillars scattered around the open space that seemed to be about to collapse. The slates below were incomplete, and under the moonlight, they looked like some kind of mysterious runes.
This is it.
Needless to say, Jenn could sense a mysterious dark force gathering in the center of this open space. It was apparent that it wouldn't take long for that guy to resurrect again!
"Phew …"
At that moment, gusts of cold wind suddenly rose from the ground. The whistling wind blew across the air, rustling the weeds in the courtyard.
At this moment, a dark shadow was gradually taking shape in the center of the altar. The faint sound of a soul shrieking echoed in the wind. In the next moment, the dark shadow began to solidify and gradually took the shape of a human.
"In the name of the holy!"
The moment the dark shadow took shape, Egret suddenly yelled. She raised the sword in her hand high and leaped forward. The silver sword erupted with pure white sacred flames, erupting and slashing at the dark shadow.
Evil Vanquishing Slash?
Looking at this scene, Jenn was stunned. Not only is a vampire a holy knight, but she's also casting Evil Vanquishing Slash like a human?
Do you think other vampires will survive if you do this, Big Sister?
Don't tell me you know Flaming Blast as well?
As though going against Jenn, the instant Egret's sword struck the dark shadow, the vampire holy knight let out another snarl. At the next moment, Jenn witnessed a scorching, golden column of flames blasting from the sky and bombarding the dark shadow.
In an instant, the scorching airflow and roaring sun flames scattered in all directions. Even Reemilia couldn't help but let out a low cry and hide behind Jenn.
Looking at this column of flames, Jenn was completely helpless.
Alright, it's really Flaming Blast …
"— — —!"
After being struck by Evil Vanquishing Slash and Flaming Blast, the dark shadow apparently suffered a lot of damage. A mournful scream sounded from the column of flames, echoing in the night sky.
Meanwhile, the voice was getting weaker and weaker. It seemed like it wouldn't be long before it died.
But Jenn wasn't so optimistic. He glanced at Egret, who was fully focused on casting Flaming Blast, and gestured for Elise and Reemilia to approach him. Then, Jenn scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
It wasn't that Jenn was overly sensitive and paranoid, but because he clearly sensed that even though Egret struck the dark shadow, the dark magical power was still gathering and didn't dissipate.
The flames dissipated.
Egret put down the sword in her hand and stood there panting.
Meanwhile, the dark shadow lay at her feet, leaving only a vague silhouette. It seemed like it was about to die.
But Egret herself wasn't much better at the moment. She clearly had the upper hand from the beginning to the end, but looking at her body heaving violently now, it seemed like she had also gone through a great battle and wasn't far from death.
It was no wonder. Jenn could be sure that Egret used the pure version of Evil Vanquishing Slash and Flaming Blast just now, but she was a vampire. If her identity wasn't fake, then Egret must have suffered a lot of damage.
It could be said that this was simply the 'Seven Injures Fist' that killed 1000 enemies and 800 soldiers.
But even so, Egret gritted her teeth, raised the long sword in her hand, aimed at the shadow under her feet, and stabbed it down!
"BANG!!"
Just as her sword was about to pierce the body of the dark shadow, suddenly, a sudden force broke out and hit Egret's body heavily. She flew out completely, hit the wall next to her, and rolled to the ground.
The bright moonlight gradually dimmed. At this moment, finally, a petite figure emerged out of thin air in the darkness.
It was a little girl who looked no older than seven or eight years old. She had short silver-white hair like moonlight and wore a black cloak.
The wind full of dark magical power blew the cloak from the girl's side. One could even see the fair and delicate edges of the girl's waist, buttocks, and legs. Rather than saying that it was a cloak, it was better to say that it was simply a piece of black cloth that covered the front and back. As for the side … it wasn't within the scope of consideration.
Looking at this scene, Jenn narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sure enough, the Lady Of The Night appeared.
