Chapter 108 108:Vampire Hunt[II]
They planned to search for a Vampire hideout or kill the Vampire when encountered. But they are mostly leaning towards finding the hideout and setting an ambush to lower the risk.
Leon asked the system about the Vampire, but unlike other times, it asked for a whopping 200 luck points, giving him a scare.
While the group traversed, a lady with short purple hair jumped out.
"Is she with us?" Linglin asked, raising her whip to strike at any moment.
"She is with..." Goro hadn't even finished his sentence when the lady appeared right before Leon and stabbed him in the neck.
Feng Ruoxi at the side reacted swiftly but stopped seeing the knife halting from Leon's neck, just a few mm away.
The knife was just a step from cutting his artery, then with a snort, the figure gave Leon a fierce look. "Why aren't you dodging?"
"I don't need to."
"Why? Do you think I didn't dare to sta…" Her words trailed when she felt something touching down, and as she looked down, she saw a small karambit touching her torso.
Leon smiled without answering her. It's better to not argue with people like this. Even if he said that her knife couldn't even scratch his skin, all of them wouldn't believe him and laugh.
"Buddy, are you good?" Kratos patted Leon's shoulder from behind.
"He seems to be frozen by fear," Goro snorted.
The purple-haired woman took a deep breath and looked down at her hands which were shivering for some reason.
'So this is Viper of Night, someone whose fang is always ready to bite you.'
She had heard many things from him and personally cleared a few crime scenes of the mafia lord who got killed by him.
Few who managed to stay alive, after witnessing his slaughter confessed their crimes while some committed suicide.
Suppressing her shiver, she said, "Helsa from the Intelligence department. I am here for tracing."
"Ohh! How do you track?" Linglin asked curiously.
"By smell."
"You have the fine abilities of a dog." Leon praised sincerely but Helsa took it otherwise.
Helsa's pupils constricted as she felt cold sweat dripping down her hairline, noticing Leon's gaze. His face might be smiling but his eyes looked like an emotionless reaper. For some reason, this mere Martial Grandmaster was giving her a deja vu vibe.
"I wish your skills were as sharp as your talks." Helsa snorted, hiding her uneasiness.
"Helsa stop wasting time and lead us. Do you have any clues?" Miyuki muttered with a smile.
"I have a lead. Follow me."
As they marched, Kratos ducked down and whispered into Leon's ears, "Women are quite fierce. Be careful when you talk with them."
"I am always careful. That's why I spit facts straight at them to avoid misunderstanding."
Kratos choked upon hearing this and whistled as if he hadn't talked to Leon.
The moon cast a faint glow through the dense canopy as the squad moved silently through the shadowy forest. Twigs crunched beneath their boots, and the only sounds were the rustling leaves and distant calls of nocturnal creatures. Each member moved with precision, their gear blending into the darkness as they navigated the uneven terrain.
No one spoke anymore, and everyone tried to act as discreet as possible. Goro signaled commands with subtle hand gestures, and the squad advanced with quiet determination, but in the midst of this, Leon felt out of place as he found it difficult to understand the gestures.
Helsa led them to an open ground, where there was a bloody smell.
Just as they stepped in for an inspection.
BOOM!
Under the cover of darkness, a gargantuan reddish worm was coiled up around the last carriage. The worm's body spanned over ten meters.
"Shit! Is this a trap?"Kratos cursed.
It was glossy and made of blood reflecting the moonlight.
It looked hideous and jiggled like jelly.
"What's that?" Leon asked but got no answer. He glanced around to notice the expression of fright on everyone's face.
Even Feng Ruoxi's expression was different.
"Fuck! A bloodworm," Kratos cursed, pulling out two ax blades.
"How did a creature of the Dimensional Zone appear here?" Linglin cried out in shock.
Leon drew out his sword and looked at the bloodworm carefully. A set of floating strings appeared over its head.
Name: Blood Worm Realm: Unspecified Description: Creatures that can be summoned by Vampire King
'A Vampire King,' Leon stood rooted at the spot reading the term Vampire King.
The Blood worm tilted forward and with a dip, squeezing itself like spring, it sprawled forward.
Except for Leon, others jumped while Leon leapt forward with the silver sword in his hand. He channelized his qi and raising his sword vertically above his head, he made a slash hacking the worm.
SWOSH!
A sword pressure tore through the air and cut apart the Blood worm into two.
However, as the cut appeared, the worm that was divided into two halves regenerated, forming two blood worms.
"Idiot!"
"Were you born an idiot? I knew you shouldn't be brought here?" Goro cursed loudly without hiding his attention.
"How can I know it would be generated like this? I thought the silver blade hastened growth." Leon fought back.
"That's on Vampire not his bloody minions or summons, you idiot." Goro spat.
'Che!' Leon clicked his tongue, in annoyance. He was just trying to test the hardness and the way the worm behaved so he could use his qi of destruction and see its effect.
The regenerated blood worm opened its mouth showcasing crystallized blood as teeth, and sprang forward at Leon.
DANG! DANG!!
"Move aside!"
Two blades dancing in the air stabbed the back of one Blood worm and with a fierce bellow, Kratos whipped his hand to pull chains attracted to the ax blade and yanked the huge body of Blood Worm towards it and then, rotating his body, slammed the worm onto the ground with a bang.
"Hey wormy, come and play with Daddy."
"MUAAHAHAHA!" Kratos roared and with a leap, and jumped towards the worm.
While the other one was whipped away by Linglin.
TASH!
Under the fierce assault, a shockwave radiated through the Blood Worm's body giving it a shiver.
The Blood Worm, as if feeling threatened, decided to crawl back but just as it tried to do that.
BANG!
A crackling bang echoed, and the exoskeleton of the worm started burning. A blurred fire slammed into the worm. The flames started enveloping the whole body of the worm making it lose its composure and start wriggling.
KUUHHHHHH!
With a crackling sound, the fire started growing and in less than a minute, the worm was lost in a glaring ember.
As per the one handled by Kratos, a ball of fire struck creating a huge explosion that engulfed the whole worm in its embrace until nothing of it was left behind.
