The gloomy, ancient castle in the dense forest was brightly lit, filled with the sounds of people.
"What? You failed! You brought so many people, and you couldn't handle the Daywalker?" Some of the old men started to criticize the younger ones.
The elder of the Toriduo family slowly walked down the stairs, his expression unreadable as he asked:
"Tell me the details."
This young vampire noble didn't dare to act up in front of his ancestor and recounted the entire incident in detail.
After listening, the Toriduo elder slowly walked in front of him and lovingly stroked the top of his head, "You've worked hard. You can rest now."
Boom!
The head exploded like a watermelon, and everyone fell silent.
Toriduo, the elder, took an expensive silk handkerchief from the butler and wiped the blood off his hands, then slowly spoke:
"Even an old fossil like me can see that the Daywalker deliberately let them escape, and these foolish young people actually came back like this.
It's truly a disgrace to the Blood Clan! Go prepare yourselves, our guests should be arriving soon. Don't disappoint the guests, and don't disappoint me either."
Elder Toriduo's gaze swept across the room with a cold glare before he waved his hand. The vampires then went off to make their preparations.
Outside the castle, Blade stood at the main gate, holding the S.H.I.E.L.D. tracking device he had gotten from Barbara.
"They've got money, that's for sure!" Blade exclaimed, then kicked open the gate.
Countless vampire bodyguards poured out from the courtyard, surrounding Blade in layers upon layers, completely blocking him in.
Blade adjusted his sunglasses, then drew his dual blades. "Tonight, I hunt to my heart's content!"
"Arrogant! He dares to provoke us like this, alone!"
"Kill this bastard!"
Blade's disregard for them and his aggressive first move deeply angered the vampire bodyguards.
A great battle was about to begin.
Oh no, not a battle, but a massacre!
Blade's physical attributes had completely surpassed these vampires, with overwhelming power and speed.
The whole battle was like mowing grass!
Blade's silver blades flashed under the cold moonlight, and each flash could slay these vampires into ashes.
One slash, another slash, and then another! There were no living vampires left in the courtyard.
Blade held his two blades crossed in front of his chest, his fingers twitched, and then he flicked them outwards at the same time, the blood on the blades flying away with a cold light.
"I am Blade."
"How fascinating!" Elder Toriduo stepped forward. "Daywalkers are rare, but there are always a few lucky ones born. I've met one before. But you seem different from him."
Blade raised his blade, pointing it at the vampire in front of him: "The difference is he didn't kill you. I will."
Elder Toriduo seemed to find this a hilarious joke, turning to the other elders, gasping for breath. "He says he's going to kill me? Did I hear that right?"
"Young people these days are getting worse and worse."
"Our bloodline purity isn't something these youngsters can compare to."
"Kill him, Toriduo."
Elder Toriduo looked at Blade again: "Did you hear that? I…"
Blade didn't want to waste time talking and charged forward directly. "You talk too much."
Elder Toriduo immediately drew his rapier to meet the attack. Three blades clashed wildly, sparking.
Elder Toriduo appeared confident, but in his heart, he was puzzled. Blade seemed unreasonably strong.
The Blood Clan's power came from their bloodline. Blade, with only half a diluted bloodline, could defeat ordinary vampires, which could be attributed to his hard training.
But now, he was actually fighting on equal footing with an Elder-level vampire, which was completely illogical.
Swoosh!
Two flashes of light passed, and Blade and Toriduo both jumped back to create distance. A gash was torn on Toriduo's waist, emitting black smoke, but the wound disappeared after a moment of flesh writhing.
Toriduo didn't gain nothing from the wound. Toriduo raised his rapier, bringing the tip to his mouth, and stuck out his tongue to lick the blood on it.
"Hmm?" Toriduo's eyes lit up, "What is this? Although it's similar, it's not the taste of the Blood Clan. What exactly are you?"
After Toriduo finished speaking, he licked the blood clean, a satisfied expression on his face. Then, he looked greedily at Blade.
Toriduo knew very well that this was the taste of a superior race, a race similar to vampires but clearly more advanced.
Blade must have obtained this high-level bloodline from somewhere, which is why his strength had increased so much.
"Attack together! Capture him alive!" Toriduo suddenly shouted.
Several elders knew each other well, and they immediately understood that there was something wrong with Blade's blood. The fact that Toriduo was willing to give up on taking him alone to capture Blade alive further proved how valuable he was.
After the others exchanged glances, they immediately moved to surround Blade. "What's going on, Toriduo?"
Toriduo stared directly at Blade and slowly said: "The blood of a superior race! You'll know for sure if you taste his blood."
The sound of licking could be heard, and the other elders also looked at Blade with greed in their eyes.
Blade's shoulder wound healed instantly. He raised his blade, pointing it at the vampire elders.
"You want my blood? Let's see if you can handle it."
The group immediately clashed. Blade, outnumbered, gradually fell behind, wounds appearing on his body.
Each vampire who tasted Blade's blood attacked him with increased ferocity, craving more, more.
The vampires who hadn't tasted the blood, seeing their companions' frenzy, also lunged forward.
Blade swung his right-hand blade, aiming to kill the closest one, but Toriduo, sidestepping, used his rapier's hilt to block the blade, immobilizing it. His left arm was then grabbed by two vampires, one in front and one behind. Finally, like a Christmas tree, Blade was covered in vampires.
Awooo!
Several vampires simultaneously bit into Blade, savoring the sweet blood, their expressions turning intoxicated.
A beautiful female elder bit into Blade's neck, accidentally knocking off his sunglasses. The vampires were too engrossed in feeding to notice Blade's unusual state.
Blade's eyes were no longer the vertical pupils of a vampire, either yellow or red, but instead, they were like a kaleidoscope of colors, mesmerizing.
Blade lowered his head, looking at the snow-white neck in front of him. He grinned, and two phantom fangs plunged into the female Blood Clan elder's neck.
Vampires only suck blood, but Yaxuegui suck life!
Cracks like glass spread from the female elder's neck. The colors on the female Blood Clan elder gradually disappeared, and finally, she shattered as if made of transparent glass, scattering on the ground.
The other elders were frightened and released Blade, involuntarily taking a few steps back. Vampires at most would suck someone dry, but Blade turned someone into transparent glass!
The energy Blade absorbed in that single bite far exceeded what the Blood Clan elder had taken.
Blade stretched his limbs, and the numerous fang marks on his body instantly healed. He turned his head, his eyes speckled, and looked at the remaining Blood Clan members: "I told you, you're not meant to have this."
While Blade was locked in a fierce battle, Zede's life was quite peaceful.
The company's space capsule business had entered the right track, and everything that needed to be sold was sold. Orders from Doom Company had also arrived, and they were just waiting for Doom Company's spaceship to launch.
But space work couldn't be rushed, so they could only wait for Doom to complete all the preparations.
Dan Kuroto, who was already idle in the Fantasy Dream Company, threw himself into the compatibility tests of the Invincible Player and God Ten Billion.
Skye, who had been following Dan Kuroto to learn, was arranged by Zede to work with Professor Lingma.
Professor Lingma stood in front of the company's main computer, his back to them, and said: "Setron is an artificial intelligence from the future, but it's just a general model of that era, not the top-tier artificial intelligence.
It still has a lot of room for improvement, and I will use my knowledge to upgrade it.
I've already taught you the basics. Watch me operate, and how much you can learn depends on your ability."
After Professor Lingma finished speaking, he ignored Skye and Zede, sat down, and furiously typed on the keyboard, performing the first step of the upgrade for Setron.
"First step, upgrade the basic framework, strengthen Setron's computing and logical thinking abilities."
Professor Lingma, as he tapped away at the keyboard, would occasionally throw out specialized terms. Skye nodded frequently, it was hard to tell if she actually understood or was just pretending, but Zede, who was there just to join in the fun, couldn't understand anything.
"The second step, upgrade all the hardware equipment and replace Setron with a more powerful body."
"Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm."
Zede, who really couldn't understand anything, didn't plan to stick around. He turned and left the control center, heading towards the lounge.
When Zede arrived, Karl was drinking coffee, lost in thought. "Should I let Daisy go see her mother?"
Zede hadn't expected Karl to be in such a good mental state. He plopped down on the sofa and spoke: "You can think calmly now?"
"As long as you don't provoke me." Karl glanced at Zede.
Zede took a can of iced cola from the small refrigerator and took a big gulp. "Ah~ Refreshing! You can't avoid Jiaying forever, but what do you plan to do if the situation gets out of control after you see her?"
"I don't know." Karl shook his head, looking dazed.
Zede also shook his head.
"I can't let you see Jiaying in this state. What if she whispers something in your ear and you lose all sense of direction? What about Skye then?"
Karl looked at Zede, his expression extremely serious.
"Then what do you suggest?"
"If, and I mean if, things really get to the point of no return, I wouldn't mind taking care of it." Zede took a small sip of his Coke.
Karl understood what Zede meant by "taking care of it," and the hand holding his coffee cup trembled uncontrollably. The spilled coffee burned his hand, but Karl didn't notice.
"Calm down, Karl."
"I'm fine."
