Bloodlust: Vampire Hunters

That day was truly the end. Everyone was in despair. No matter where you were, you would see a huge bloody hand pressing down on the planet. The planet was so small in front of the giant hand that it could be held in the palm of the hand

The moment the hand broke through the atmosphere, the mountains on the earth were smashed to dust, and half of the oceans were vaporized. Humans knelt on the ground and cried out, they were calling out God to save them.

"Roar!"

When everyone thought that everything was about to come to an end, all of them heard a roar that shook the entire world. Following that, a human figure that was as tall as the sky and filled with ten thousand rays of five-colored divine light rushed up into the sky. After the glare disappeared, everything returned to normal.

Earth was still the same, the giant hand and all the destructive scenes had disappeared, the mountains and rivers had been restored to their original state ...

This was a dream that all humans had had over the years. They did not know why they had such a strange dream and they all had the same dream. Experts couldn't give an exact answer. The dream was listed as the eleventh greatest mystery in the world.

And the man in the dream was so powerful that he saved the world being destroyed. Was he a God? Would the scenes in the dream have really happened in this world?

October 31, 1998. In the middle of the night in London, almost everyone fell asleep. The next day would be a busy day for the Halloween gala, which would last all day.

The night was strangely quiet, with only a full moon hanging high in the dark sky. The cold moonlight was falling everywhere in London, and those sleeping under the moon were unaware that a catastrophe was going on without a sound.

A young couple was strolling on the Tower Bridge across the River Thames. They had just enjoyed the night scenery and were preparing to return home. Modern Gothic style was then popular in England. Serena was wearing a black jacket, with light golden hair that freely draped over her shoulders. Her nose was tall and straight, and her sapphire eyes were shining. The smoky makeup and black thin eyebrows gave her a special kind of enticing feeling.

She was wearing tight black trousers with nails and a pair of black leather shoes. She had a black collar and silver earrings, her arms were tattooed with a cross. She was a perfect goth girl.

Her boyfriend, Jonny, wore a carefully chosen suit. In front of his beloved woman, Jonny wanted to show more of his gentleman manner.

Serena held her boyfriend's hand as she gazed at the night scenery. Just as they were about to reach the end of the bridge, she saw a strange man ahead.

Serena tugged on Jonny's hand and said: "Heh, look, that man is so strange. He seems to be wearing something in the style of the 17th century."

Jonny also looked over, it was indeed very strange. The man was dressed in an ornate black suit, or rather, a frock coat. It was the prototype of a tuxedo.

The coat had gorgeous print on it. Under the coat, the man was wearing tight black shorts and white stockings; on his feet were a pair of shiny black leather shoes.

Jonny smiled and said: "He looks like an aristocrat from the 18th century. Is he playing an English aristocrat? Right, it's already the Halloween Carnival. Let's go take a look."

The man noticed them, too. He then walked quickly towards the young couple. When he got closer, they discovered that this man was extremely handsome. Even a woman could not match his delicate features and alluring amber eyes.

His skin color was abnormally white, not a color of a living man. After seeing Serena, he suddenly bent his upper body forward 15 degrees, extended his right hand and politely said: "Beautiful young miss, can you dance with me for a while?"

"I... I'm a little tired and don't want to dance."

This man's action really startled Serena, she tried to find an excuse to refuse him.

"If you're tired, I can invite you to my house to rest. I still have a few bottles of delicious red wine that haven't been opened yet." This strange man was still smiling as he invited Serena over. Serena felt that this man was being unreasonable and subconsciously hid behind Jonny.

"Hey bro, this is my girlfriend, be careful of what you say." Jonny stepped forward and blocked the man. He naturally could not tolerate anyone teasing his girlfriend.

That man's smile slowly faded. He looked at Jonny with disgust and said coldly: "I only want to invite this lady. It has nothing to do with you, a worthless piece of shit. You are courting death!"

"What did you say..."

Just as Jonny was about to explode in anger, he was forced to stop. He looked at the pale white hand in front of him and wondered, why there was a heart in that hand. Then he looked at his chest, which had a terrible hole in it. He could even feel the wind blowing through his chest from behind.

He looked in disbelief at the beating heart and feebly reached out his hand to take it back. What awaited him was the hand covered in blood that mercilessly crushed the heart. The pitiful Jonny fell into a pool of blood. His puzzled eyes were still open even in death, reflecting the last scene before his death, a pale white hand that was drenched in blood.

"AHHHH! You... What did you do? How could you...? Jonny! No, no!" Serena knelt beside Jonny's corpse and cried out. Her tears washed the beautiful makeup off.

The man said expressionlessly, "I've said that I only want you, yet this piece of shit dared to obstruct me. I could only grant him a death. His life is worthless. Rather, the death is his greatest value."

"You demon! Go to hell!" Serena screamed crazily and rushed up to hit that man, but that man had grabbed her neck and held her up in the air, looked at her painfully struggling.

"Don't worry, you'll meet him soon. In my eyes, you're just a slightly better looking animal. I just want your blood. Being food for me, the Nicolas Quick Infante, is your life's greatest honor. You should thank me."

Then he bit Serena's neck. Within 5 seconds, he absorbed all the blood in her body and threw the corpse beside Jonny.

"Mm. It's been hundreds of years. I finally tasted fresh blood again. It's really delicious. However, it's not a high-grade delicacy, it's just an appetizer." After sucking up all blood of Serena, Nicolas licked his tongue, as if he was not satisfied with the taste. That amount of blood was not enough for him to enjoy.

"Look at you! It's just a fast food. Yet, you're still enjoying it. You're truly a lustful man."

"Haha, that's him. Unlike you, who needs special human pets, he doesn't care too much as long as the woman is slightly prettier."

"Stop mocking me! Aren't you picky about what you eat as well? Moreover, the human pets I have raised have always been delicious."

At this moment, another man and woman were walking over as they were quarreling. Their attires were similarly gorgeous, but not the Rococo style.

That woman was abnormally beautiful. Her enchanting red eyes and flaming red lips were filled with a bewitching charm. It was as if just a glance at her was enough to make a man want to bow down to her. She had beautiful silver hair and was wearing a retro Gothic dress.

The folds of the dark red and black skirt were as beautiful as relief sculptures. The tight upper part of the skirt accentuated her ample breasts, and the loose lower part could not hide her alluring figure. She looked so noble.

Her companion was dressed in a black tailcoat with a silk bow tie, and the flowery fringes of his shirt accentuated his aristocratic temperament. He had blond hair and blue eyes, with his hair combed back, his handsome face would attract the attention of countless women.

When Nicolas saw them, he smiled and said, "Annie Brantiny, Barnard Warenne, you finally came. I've been waiting here for a while. I was bored so I ate some snacks."

"Up to you, as long as you are not delayed, you are fine. After all, we are a bit later than expected." Annie said with a disdainful look on her face. Barnard also laughed, "That's right, we are just familiarizing ourselves with this unfamiliar world, and then we had to spend some time changing our clothes. Otherwise, we would have arrived a long time ago."

"Then your men and servants should have arrived as well. Let them wait here. There's no need for us to ambush them on this bridge. Let's just fight those guys in the open." Nicolas said to Annie and Barnard, and they nodded in agreement.

As they were talking, tens of people wearing deacon uniform appeared behind them. All men were handsome and all women were beautiful. Everyone had blood-red eyes and pale skin. They had a kind of sickly beauty. Soon after, they kneeled down and said in unison, "Greetings, Master."

Four sharp fangs could be seen in their mouths as they spoke. Behind them was a group of ragged, disheveled monsters.

their eyes were bloodshot, with no whites; their terrifying fangs were exposed. Looking at the two corpses on the ground, they let out low roars like wild beasts, as if they desperately wanted fresh blood.

Barnard glared at them and said coldly: "Alright, there will be food for all of you in a while, don't be anxious." The monsters seemed to be frightened and knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to make the slightest sound.

"Ta, ta, ta..."

The sound of orderly footsteps came from the other end of the bridge, along with the sound of armor. The sound became clearer and clearer, and the surface of the bridge shook as if an invincible cavalry unit had arrived.

Nicolas's eyes turned blood-red. He turned his head to the north side of the bridge, licked his tongue and laughed: "Hehe, looks like our meal has already arrived. Let's enjoy it."

The forest beside the Thames was especially quiet under the cold moonlight. There were no animals around, nor were there any sounds of insects. Birds were already sleeping peacefully in the grass.

A breeze blew past, bringing the sound of rustling leaves. There seemed to be other sounds in the forest, making the entire forest gloom and eerie. Those sounds were slowly approaching ...

"Listen, can we really do this? The seniors told us not to come out. It would be miserable if we were to be discovered. I do not want to face Clara's anger at all. "

The one who spoke was a twelve-year-old girl. Her silver hair, which was as thick as seaweed, was slightly curled up and draped over her shoulders.

Her eyes were as unfathomable as the sea, her skin was ivory white. She was dressed in a black Gothic Lolita skirt, with a dark red wizard hat on her head.

"Merutia, don't worry. If we were discovered, just put all on me. I, Wang Bugui, am not afraid of any punishment, haha." A youth said with a smile. He was only 12 or 13 years old, a handsome young man from the East.

He was dressed in a black hunter windbreaker. His facial features were handsome and had a hint of immaturity. His sword-like eyebrows flew straight to his temples. Obsidian eyes were mysterious and spiritual, he had a straight nose and a mole under left eye.

The way he smiled looked a little arrogant and evil.

"Actually she was right. The seniors of the Sanctuary warned me not to come out tonight. This time, Dragon Slaughter Knights, Oracle Knights and Seraph Knights had been all called in."

"It is said that even the head of the Seraph Knights had come. This may be far more serious than we thought. Bugui I think we'd better go back."

The one who spoke was another teenager. He looked to be about the same age as the other two.

However, his physique looked similar to an adult's, very strong. He wore a silver Paladin attire, and there was a silver cross engraved on the cloak on his back.

The cross was stained with blood, holy and bloody. His face was sharp and craggy. His pale blue eyes were bright and full of spirit, revealing his resolution.

"Druid, are you afraid? Who are we? The young geniuses of the three strongest powers in the west. Azrael's Hand Wang Bugui, Slaughter Saint Knight Druid, and Ranger Mage Merutia."

"Together, we could even kill vampires if they were still alive. After all, there were quite a number of monsters that we had killed." Wang Bugui said arrogantly.

Merutia frowned slightly when she heard this, and said with a disdain, "Tsk, the title of Azrael's Hand was created by yourself, right? You shameless! Though we did have worked together to kill more than a dozen monsters. "

"But it's only some vicious beasts that were tainted with the demonic aura. Don't compare that to a vampire. If the vampires were to reappear, we would be able to beat only the barons."

"Wrong, we are able to kill viscounts. Don't forget that we still have Sister Chiou. She is the most recent disciple of the Azrael, the one I admire the most. She alone is capable of killing barons and fighting against viscounts." Wang Bugui was very confident when he mentioned her. It was obvious that he trusted this woman's strength.

As he spoke, a woman appeared beside him. She was not a teenager. She looked to be about twenty years old. She wore a high ponytail with slanted bangs, her skin was like fine jade, and her legs were straight and slender.

Her nose was high and her lips were rosy. There was a pair of deep blue eyes on that exquisite face, slanted bangs covered her right eye. All made her look like a mysterious ice beauty.

She was wearing a black leather windbreaker and leather shorts with tights, which made her legs even more bewitching. She held a long black sickle in her right hand, a chain wrapped around her left arm, and a pair of black boots covered her calves.

Her entire being seemed to be filled with charm, but also exuded an indescribable domineering aura. Even though she was expressionless, but she exuded an aura of might. She slowly moved to Wang Bugui's side, her steps sounded calm and determined.

This peerless beauty had the air of a queen. The word 'ice queen' seemed to be tailored for her.

"How could you say so? Sister Chiou is a fresh disciple. The Azrael has never got involved in any conflicts. If she were discovered, the Azrael would punish her when she got back. Then what else could you do?"

When Chiou appeared, Merutia was a little unhappy. After all, she really didn't know what trouble she would have if Azrael got angry.

Just then, Chiou shook her head and said: "It's fine, I'm just bored anyway. I wasn't discovered when I came out. And I heard that this operation has gathered all of the elite forces of the three great powers. I am more interested in what kind of thing could cause the three great forces to take it seriously. "

"But..." Merutia was about to say something but she was interrupted by Wang Bugui. He waved his hand to indicate that no one should speak, and then pointed towards the outside of the forest.

There was a group of people outside the forest. From afar, one could see that someone had tied up a large flag, and on it was a sacred cross. These were people from the Sanctuary, roughly three hundred in total. Their orderly and powerful steps caused the ground to tremble slightly.

The sound of the blood-red armor swaying caused all the birds in the forest to be scared and fly away. Even the fishes of the Thames seemed to be scared and hid underwater, not daring to jump out of the water. A ripple appeared on the calm surface of the river, causing the full moon reflected in the water to shatter into pieces.

The leader of the riders was mounted on a horse, dressed in red armor with the wings of an angel tattooed on it. On his left was a red shield with a golden cross engraved on it; bloody thorns twined around it. A sword was inserted into the shield; its hilt looked like a wing of bird.

The cloak on his back was imprinted with a sacred angel, who held a Holy Sword that was wrapped in raging flames. His physique was imposing and majestic. He led the Paladin to the side of the bridge and stared at the other side seriously.

"It's the head of Seraph Knights, Kelson Green! I never thought that if I could see him, those people should be Seraph Knights! " Druid gasped in surprise.

His expression was as if he had won a prize of ten million pounds, and even if he tried to restrain himself, he could not hide his surprise.

Druid never thought that he would actually be able to see such a grand character, this was the Sanctuary's highest fighting strength. Wang Bugui and Merutia were both a little shocked after hearing what he had said, while Chiou frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

At this time, Wang Bugui suggested: "Let's follow them and see. He seems to be going to the Tower Bridge. We can finally find out what their secret operation is." Everyone nodded in agreement.

The four of them carefully followed the knights. When they reached the back of the cavalry, Kelson had already dismounted. He walked up to the Tower Bridge unhurriedly. The members of the Paladin stood there motionlessly, like statues.

"What is he doing?" Why didn't the other Paladin follow? " Druid was a little doubtful, but at the same time, Wang Bugui said: "Look, he seems to be staring at the other side of the bridge. Could it be that something is attracting him?"

"I don't know, I can't use magic to look. Kelson will definitely sense it." Merutia suggested, and everyone stopped discussing and looked towards Tower Bridge.

"Everyone, advance!" Kelson looked ahead for a while, then turned his head to give the order. After hearing the order, Seraph Knights walked towards the Tower Bridge in an orderly and powerful manner.

"So powerful. Even if we were two hundred meters away from them, we would still be able to feel that oppressive might." Everyone nodded as they heard Merutia's comment. After all, this was the strongest military power of the Sanctuary.

"Don't worry, after ten years, we'll be able to have the same kind of aura. Maybe we'll be even stronger." Wang Bugui was full of confidence about the future.

"Alright, quiet down. They have already ascended the bridge, let's follow them and take a look. Wang Bugui, just shut up and stop wasting your breath." Chiou stopped his nonsense.

Wang Bugui's sword-like eyebrows twitched as he grinned. Seemingly not daring to oppose her, he quickly approached Tower Bridge with the three of them, arriving beside the entrance.

"We can't get any closer. Once we get on the bridge, we will be discovered. We can only go to the small pagoda and wait for them to reach the middle before going up the Main Tower. Remember to make less noise." Chiou said cautiously.

Just as she finished speaking, Wang Bugui was the first one to jump up the tower. The tower was about twenty meters high, and he didn't even need to run before jumping up. It was clear that he had an extraordinary body.

After that, Merutia used her teleportation spell to get on, and then took out a vine, allowing Druid to get on.

In the end, Chiou jumped onto the bridge with only a light leap. She looked so relaxed, much stronger than Wang Bugui, and then walked to the front to see the situation on the bridge.

"Haha, see? Our narcissistic boy, this is the difference. Sister Chiou is still just a new disciple to the Azrael, how could you still be his hand? "

Merutia who was at the back softly laughed at Wang Bugui. She was clever and quick-witted, seemingly wanting to ease the tense atmosphere.

"One day, I will become the strongest Blood Hunter and the strongest human. I have to reach that level because my title is Azraels Hand. If I couldn't even match up one hand of Azrael, how could I..."

Wang Bugui looked at Chiou's back and said with determination.

Hearing that, Merutia's mouth slightly opened, she was truly shocked. She had not expected him to be so serious, so she did not speak any further. Afterwards, together with Wang Bugui, they went up to take a look at the situation on the bridge.

The London Tower Bridge was a suspension bridge that spanned across the Thames. It was a bridge that connected the north and south regions of London as a whole and was also a symbol of London. Its two ends were connected by four stone towers. At this moment, there were four figures on one of the towers on the south end. They were secretly observing the situation on the bridge.

The leader of the Seraph Knights had already walked to the middle of the bridge. Kelson raised his hand and signaled the cavalry to stop, while he stood alone at the front. After a while, a large group of about four hundred people came from the other side of the bridge. The three people in the lead walked over slowly. They were all dressed extravagantly and had the aura of nobility.

A dozen of people behind the three of them looked like deacons, and the people behind them were completely devoid of human form, like wild beasts. Some of them were hunched, some were crawling on the ground, and there were even some who were climbing on the ropes of the bridge. Their eyes were blood-red, and they let out waves of low growls. They looked incredibly strange.

"They had stopped. Why don't they go over? Dammit, I can't see Kelson." Wang Bugui said, clapping his fist in his hand. Chiou thought for a while and suggested, "Let's climb up the bridge to the Main Tower. Otherwise, the Main Tower blocks our sights and we can see nothing."

Merutia looked at the bridge and said: "If we were to follow the bridge cable and climb over there, even if you and Wang Bugui don't make any sound, Druid and I are much weaker than you two, we would definitely make a sound. And I don't dare to use magic at such a close distance, Kelson is right at the Main Tower's place. "

"How about this, Druid, you pack your combat suit, Chiou and I will send you guys over first. When we get there, we will help you a little, and the jump point is at the end of the bridge cable. It's only around ten meters away from the top of the tower, so you guys should be fine.

When Wang Bugui suggested this idea, the three of them nodded their heads. This was the only way. Druid packed his Knight attire, turning it into a cross necklace and put it on his chest.

Immediately after, Wang Bugui carried Druid on his shoulder, and Chiou lifted Merutia in her arms. The two of them swiftly and agilely ran past the bridge cable, as though they were ghosts in the night, and did not make a sound.

They first got off the bridge cable and climbed up after reaching the bottom of the cable. At the end of the cable, Chiou directly leaped onto the peak of the Main Tower with Merutia in her arms.

Wang Bugui used his hands to support Druid and threw him up. Druid jumped onto the Main Tower and Wang Bugui followed him.

They looked down from the top of the tower and saw Kelson standing there. Opposite him was a large group of people, led by three people at the very front.

"What's going on? Who were those three? And there are so many people behind them." Druid was confused, those people looked weird.

"Look carefully, the dozen people behind the three look like deacons, the rest of them are all very strange. Their eyes are bloodshot, some of them are even crawling on the ground. Are they really human beings?" Merutia's voice sounded.

Hearing her words, the three of them turned to look at those people. It was indeed just as strange as what Merutia had described.

Chiou thought for a moment, then said with a frown: "Those scarlet eyes, exposing fangs, the movements of beasts, aren't they very similar to the Blood Slaves that Blood Hunters had mentioned before?"

Everyone looked at Wang Bugui, hoping he would answer.

He didn't know what to say either. According to his parents, the vampires should have all been killed hundreds of years ago. Even Dracula himself was killed by the First Van Helsing. How could Blood Slaves appear here whom could only be controlled by vampires?

"I don't know either. Let's just watch and see. The vampires should have died a long time ago. Maybe they are some other monsters." Wang Bugui forced himself to calm down. After that, they did not speak anymore and just watched every single move on the bridge.

"I didn't expect the leader of the Seraph Knights would welcome us. How interesting. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Nicolas who is ranked seventh in the Thirteen Infantes." Nicolas walked over to Kelson and introduced himself with a smile.

"Fifth Infante, Annie Brantiny."

"Sixth Infante, Barnard Warenne."

Annie and Barnard introduced themselves as well, Kelson stared at the three of them for a while. Frowning, he opened his mouth and said: "Three Infante s? You really think highly of me."

"Hehe, after all, you should have your sacred weapon with you, and we must treat you seriously. Moreover, you are also the strongest of the Sanctuary Knights, so we cannot let you arrive the main battlefield. I thought that I would be able to eat a hearty meal. Seems like there's no hope for that. "

Nicolas laughed, he did not mind delaying, after all, this was only a separate battlefield, they were only in charge of intercepting the Seraph Knights so they couldn't meet the people on the main battlefield.

"What?! Thirteen Infantes! Did you hear that? God! They were actually of the Thirteen Infantes! Did the vampires really revive?" Druid took a step back in shock.

He couldn't believe his ears. If the vampires appeared again, it would be an unimaginable disaster.

"Of course I heard it. Lower your voice, don't get discovered." Merutia covered Druid's mouth and whispered; her expression became serious.

Wang Bugui looked down in disbelief. He shook his head and said, "Impossible, the vampires were defeated by First Van Helsing a long time ago. They should have died hundreds of years ago."

"Calm down, don't get discovered. It seems that the vampires really reappeared in this world, otherwise why would Kelson be so careful while bringing his fully armed cavalry. If the three were really Infantes, they would find us if we were not careful, and we would all die."

Chiou's beautiful eyes were filled with seriousness as she scolded them harshly. Wang Bugui also calmed down and did not dare to speak anymore. Just like Chiou had said, if it really were the three Infantes, killing them would be as easy as stepping on ants.

Nicolas was still trying to stall for time with Kelson. Annie suddenly glanced at the Main Tower behind Kelson.

Her mysterious red eyes were filled with surprise. She then used the fan to cover her face as she pondered, "Just now, I suddenly felt that there were a few auras of humans above, as well as an aura that did not seem to be human. What is it? Is there a trap?"

It was at this time that Barnard patted her shoulder, and said softly: "You noticed it too?"

"Hmm, just now the Main Tower released a very weak human aura, about four people. However, one human aura seems to be a little special."

"That's right, there should be a Mage. I can feel some Magic fluctuations. The second person should be a Knight. I can't mistake that kind of repulsive, holy aura. There's also another one who should be from Blood Hunter. Even though it's hidden very deeply, I can still feel the surging blood aura. "

"The last person isn't too clear. That kind of aura shouldn't belong to him, but the real owner of this aura is definitely terrifying. I feel that it's possible that this sort of oppressive feeling... more terrifying than our king! "

"Indeed, I have that feeling. I didn't expect you to notice it." Annie smiled faintly.

Barnard squinted his eyes and laughed: "Haha, it's a coincidence, you are just not used to observing your surroundings, otherwise you would be better than me."

Annie shook her head and said: "Stop joking around, it seems like Nicolas can't hold it back anymore, let's prepare to fight."

Barnard nodded, and secretly arranged for servants to prepare for battle. At this moment, a golden ray of light shot up from the London Bridge in the distance.

Everyone looked over, but it did not last long before it disappeared. Kelson looked at it and muttered: "Has it started? We must hurry there! "

Then, he turned and waved his hand, ordering the Seraph Knights: "Everyone, attack! The Holy War has begun! "

"The Lord has granted me power!"

"My Lord is with me!"

"For justice! For home! No fear of evil! "

"In the name of our Lord! Holy war against the darkness! "

Every single Paladin in the Seraph Knights made an oath from the bottom of their hearts, and their powerful voices resounded throughout the entire Tower Bridge. After that, they drew out their swords. A divine golden cross appeared in front of their chests, they were ready to attack at any time.

Kelson also took out his sword, the blood colored Holy Sword released a clanging sound, and then he held the sword upright in front of his chest and prayed: "God, be with me. In the name of the Seraph Michael, I wield a Holy Sword. I shall execute God's Punishment and eradicate all evils in the world! "

With that, a cross of flames appeared behind him, and the red light emitted by the Holy Sword became even more sacred.

Then he firmly pointed his sword at the vampires and said, "End the battle as soon as possible and rush to the main battlefield. Charge!"

The Paladins started to shout and rush forward. Annie also waved her fan and pointed forward, ordering, "Go, kill them for our king, give him a great resurrection gift!"

With that, the dozen of deacons led the Blood Slaves to rush over, and the battle began. On one side was an army brimming with divine power of faith, and on the other side was an army of demons brimming with a bloody aura of death.
