Chapter 906 - Demon of the Dark Night
Chapter 906: Demon of the Dark Night
The boundless night enveloped the sky. The old castle towering over the land told its long story of death, destruction, and longevity. Nothing escaped the shadows of devastation—not even the Undead Creatures. The eerie, blue spiritual flames illuminated both sides of the castle hallway, but the darkened, high-hanging family crest had lost its past glory. This place used to be the honorable residence of dark nobles with countless visitors offering their entirety to this ancient, supreme family.
Babylonia—she dominated rulers of all bloodlines ever since the birth of the Country of Darkness. She bathed in endless glory and wealth and was one of the four legendary generals, belonging to the right seat under the ancient and dark king. But everything was in the past.
“I know this is the woman’s scheme.”
A crisp, childish voice resounded in the wide, tattered hall. The luxuriously decorated walls were torn down by the passing of time while formerly stunning murals were eroded with holes. Piles of neglected, broken knight armor filled both sides of the hallway, and there was even a large hole in the scarlet, velvet carpet. Chilly winds entered through shattered windows and caused the filthy curtains to flutter. This place used to be full of nobles. But now, only two of them remained.
“Master, this is a trap. Please reconsider…”
A frail voice sounded while an ice-cold breeze that resembled the miserable howls of a departed spirit echoed in the hall. The pages on the table flipped in the wind creepily, but the petite figure on the huge chair wasn’t fazed. On the contrary, her eyes erupted in two dazzling, maroon radiances.
“Of course I know this is a trap!”
Kacha.
She snapped the feather pen into two and tossed it from the shadows.
Nell pulled out her dagger and stood before Mini Bubble Gum.
“Madam Bubble, be careful. This is the royal vampire’s technique—Dark Erosion!”
Nell stared tensely at the black fog. She realized earlier on that the bat in Bubble’s hand wasn’t a real bat. Instead, it was made from the illusory magic spell of the vampires—the vampire royal family!
The Dark Erosion could be said to be the signature move of the vampire royal family. It was an attack that used invisible ultrasonic waves and black dogs filled with death aura. Not only that, but it could also influence the victim’s soul through the black fog and forcefully convert the victim into one of them.
In the past, Nell witnessed this happen to one of the Dark Elves cities that offended a royal vampire. Just within two days, the 3000 Dark Elves and 10,000 slaves in that city were converted into the vampires’ servants. Nell never expected that the vampires would activate such a terrifying skill right now.
Nell puckered her brows and didn’t know what to do. Then, she heard a crisp scoff.
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, a glaring, white light column descended from the sky and dispersed the black fog. The spirits that finally had the chance to show themselves were instantly eradicated like melted snow. At the same time, Nell heard a blood-curdling screech.
“Ah…!”
The brilliance faded away.
The alley restored its peace, but this time, there was a petite figure before Mini Bubble Gum and Nell.
It was a little girl.
She seemed like the same age as Mini Bubble Gum. Her fluffy, blond curly hair reached her waist and she wore a pure black gorgeous dress. The long, pitch-black sling socks wrapped her slender legs which made her look like a doll. However, she was ashen and her eyes glowed with faint, red radiance as she lay on the ground. Although her eyes were filled with menacing murderous intent, it was apparent that she was harmless at this point.
“Please kill her now, Madam Bubble! Royal vampires are horrible disasters. Although she seems innocent, she is capable of destroying the whole city!”
“No.”
Mini Bubble Gum shook her head firmly and went up to the vampire, looking down upon her. Then, Mini Bubble Gum rested her chin on her hand and squinted to scan the little girl.
“Hmm… You’re about the same age as me and you look decent. Hmm… Interesting. I have a great idea… If Leader… Yes. Heh heh. Won’t I get to stand a chance if it is possible?”
Neither Nell nor the vampire understood what Mini Bubble Gum was muttering under her breath. Mini Bubble Gum half-knelt on the ground and raised the sphere in her hand. Suddenly, Nell felt as though Mini Bubble Gum was scarier than the trembling vampire.
“Alright, do you want to come in yourself or should I squeeze you in?”
Mini Bubble Gum gazed at the shuddering vampire with an excited smile.
