Chapter 557 Blood Prison Counterstrike
As a separate asset of the Vik Family, the Rose Manor couldn’t compare to Bloodcastle when it came to functionality and defenses.
As the two Second Grade adepts recklessly ravaged the manor, all the buildings were utterly destroyed. While the buildings on the surface collapsed and vanished in the fire, the more secretive constructions beneath the manor were also unavoidably affected.
Blood Prison!
It was one of the most common facilities in a vampire family.
The purpose of its existence was to imprison low-level vampires that had committed wrongdoings.
As vampires themselves, they inevitably knew the flaws and strengths of vampires. As such, all the facilities in a blood prison were tailored for use against vampires. At the same time, they were also more bloody and cruel than an ordinary prison!
The vampires relied on blood as a carrier of their power and required it for energy. Their abilities would be heavily discounted once they had lost more than half of their blood.
The next second, an overwhelming surge of blood energy erupted in the blood prison!
The two vampires were caught mid-lunge, and blood splashed fully across their entire bodies.
If this had been any normal circumstance in the past, blood that contained the victim’s life force would be a sacred healing item that would be most beneficial to the adepts. Today, the blood seemed to have taken on a life of its own. Not only were the vampires incapable of absorbing the blood, but the blood was also even destroying their bodies. There was a stinging pain from where they had been splashed.
The two low-grade vampires stopped in their tracks. They lowered their heads to look at their bodies and were shocked to find the blood to be alive.
The blood on them seemed to have a mind of its own. It gathered into clusters of blood and then started transforming, lashing out with fine thorns and piercing their skin.
The clusters of blood were like tiny blood monsters, continually creating new wounds on the vampire barons. These clusters of blood could even dig into their skin and start ravaging the insides of their bodies, destroying everything that it came across.
The bucket of blood exploded with a resounding boom while the two vampire barons howled in agony.
A tall, slender figure with large wings behind her back rose from the blood mist in the room. She reared her head and let out a battle cry.
Once Mary had let out all the accumulated rage with that unrestrained shout, she folded her wings, and the mist of blood in the blood prison immediately went back into her body like birds returning to their nest.
Not only had all the blood in the bucket been absorbed back into her body, but the blood of the two vampire barons poured out of their bodies like a collapsed dam and were absorbed by Mary.
Soon, the two utterly withered corpses fell to the ground. Their skin was wrinkled, like tree bark from an ancient tree; not one bit of moisture remained in them. Their life force had also flowed into Mary’s body as their last drop of blood was taken from them.
Having dealt with these two small fry, Mary extended her wings. Her body turned into a comet shrouded in a mist of blood and blasted through the ceiling above the prison. She beat her wings and slowly took to the skies amidst the sea of fire around her.
Her sudden appearance instantly attracted the attention of the two battling Second Grades.
Vampire Adept Count Leicester and Fire Adept Greem betrayed utterly different expressions upon seeing Mary.
Shock and surprise!
Count Leicester’s expression turned quickly. His silhouette flashed, and he lunged towards Mary. He shouted as he charged at the female vampire.
“Come here!”
A crimson rune appeared on Leicester’s forehead, and Mary felt her consciousness go dim. Her body started flying toward the vampire against her will.
However, at that second, a massive halo of fire broke out between Mary and Leicester.
Greem perfectly timed his Fire Teleportation and stopped Mary while obstructing Leicester with his own body.
Mary had to grit her teeth and use all her strength to restrain herself from attacking Greem.
An irresistible strength within the vampire bloodline that coursed through her body was calling toward her, seducing her. It Wanted her to submit beneath the feet of the great Master Leicester and use all of her body and mind to serve her master.
However, this bloodline instinct came into severe conflict with her own will. She let out a moan and collapsed limply into Greem’s embrace.
Mary might have recovered most of her powers from absorbing her blood, but there were still traces of torture left on her body.
Greem scanned with his Spirit and instantly got a comprehensive idea of her condition. Sympathy and pain swelled inside him.
“Well done. Very well done,” Greem stared at Leicester, his eyes cold and chilling, “I will leave things here for today. We can discuss the rest at a later date.”
Leicester stepped forward in midair and replied with the same chilling tone, “Do you think you can escape punishment because you saved her? Hmph! Don’t look down upon the power of the Vik Family. Next time, it might be you begging me to forgive the crimes you have committed today.”
Greem couldn’t be bothered to exchange another word. He stepped back and vanished with Mary in a blazing pillar of fire.
