I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 398: Secret Talk in the Sewer

"Mr. Caius, why don't you tell us about your experience after entering the London sewers?"

Theresa asked on behalf of Su Fan.

Caius looked up, and after seeing Theresa's face clearly, he was stunned.

Due to the pressure, his attention has always been on Su Fan, and only now he discovered this woman with pure temperament and beautiful appearance.

There was a hint of intoxication in Caius' eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to transform him into a vampire.

Such a beautiful existence should not disappear from this world.

It would be a sin to let her appearance be washed away by the long river of time until her youth is gone and her beauty fades.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment.

The other party is someone close to Su Fan, and they have a close relationship. If his thoughts are discovered, ten lives will not be enough to kill him.

Caius calmed himself down and slowly began his narration.

"After learning what happened in London, my brother Aro was very angry."

"That group of newborns trampled on the rules we set, allowing the existence of vampires to enter the mainstream vision of the human world."

"And I even let you, Your Excellency, see me. This is truly an unforgivable crime."

"So he ordered me to bring my personal guards to eliminate the threat."

"I took the members of the Guard and entered the underground waterway according to the map provided by the local government officials to search for the traces of the Newborn Legion..."

……

In the dark and damp sewer, Caius was running at full speed.

This place has not been cleaned all year round, and the dirt is sticky and slippery. Ordinary people will fall if they are not careful. In addition, there is almost no light, so it is impossible to move forward quickly.

But the blond young man was walking on flat ground and was not disturbed at all.

He moved along the walls and ceiling, the dark world clearly visible to the vampire's eyes.

Even in such a dirty environment, his cloak was not stained with mud.

The reason why he can sit firmly in the third position of the Volturi is not his seniority, but his strength.

At his side, a slightly shorter figure struggled to catch up and spoke to Caius.

"Lord Caius, please slow down. Jane and the main force cannot keep up with your speed for the time being."

Alec spoke with some reluctance.

Most of the elite guards rely on special abilities to fight, and their basic physical fitness is not as good as that of traditional vampires.

"You can't even keep up with this speed and yet you call yourself elite."

Caius glanced sideways at Alec.

"Just walk slowly behind me. Even if I'm alone, I'm enough to deal with those beasts who don't know the rules."

"But……"

"Nothing but."

Caius' unquestionable tone blocked the other party's subsequent words.

"We will use our strongest posture to crush this purge and demonstrate the power of the Volturi."

"Don't think I don't know that because of the actions of these newborns, vampires in other parts of the world are beginning to stir."

"It's time to remind them of the fear they once had."

Seeing the head of the family so stubborn, Alex didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, they both stopped at the same time.

The sudden stop at high speed did not cause any noise.

Caius and Alex did not communicate with each other, but closed their eyes at the same time and listened carefully to the conversation coming from somewhere in this intricate underground world.

"The plan has been implemented and everything is going smoothly. But I didn't expect that you would be willing to pay such a huge price."

The speaker's English pronunciation was a bit strange and didn't sound like a native British person.

“This has nothing to do with us.”

The other voice spoke pure British English.

But there was unspeakable disgust and a hint of fear in the speaker's tone.

"I understand. We killed all the people in the building. You are just unaware of it, right?"

The man who spoke first sneered.

"People like you are always like this. You know clearly that what you did is closely related to the consequences, but because you were not directly involved, you feel at ease and avoid feeling guilty."

"I never realized you had such a high moral standard. If that's the case, why don't you save the world instead of slaughtering them like pigs?"

The person being satirized immediately fought back with harsh words.

But I didn't expect the man opposite me to admit it in a calm tone.

“I’m literally saving them.”

"...I forgot that you are a lunatic."

So said the man with a pure Old British accent.

Although his words were full of sarcasm and disdain, there was clearly a slight tremor in his tone.

"I have completed my part, so I will say goodbye. I still need to deal with the outside world."

He was eager to escape from here, and the fear in his heart was spread through his words. Even Caius and Alec, who were eavesdropping from a distance, could smell it.

"Of course, but how about watching a good show first?"

Before the person on the other side finished speaking, Caius and Alex felt a strong sense of crisis, as if at this moment an evil ghost suddenly appeared from behind them and wrapped its cold arms around their necks.

"It seems we have a few more uninvited guests here."

The strange laughter came from far away and suddenly came from the empty underground sewer network.

Their voices were noisy and complicated. In less than a second, Alex and Caius' eyes turned red and their fangs grew wildly.

Endless bloodthirstiness and anger were aroused in their hearts, and they raised their heads and let out long howls.

It was this move that completely exposed the position of the two.

But the two of them were unaware of it and went straight to the end of the passage, where there were densely packed and swaying long black shadows!

They used their claws and fists, which were sharp enough to break through thick walls, to fight against these monsters that made strange noises.

The roar soon attracted the follow-up large group of vampires, but when they saw Alex and Caius at this moment, they were all shocked and panicked!

Two figures shuttled among the numerous strange flesh whiskers, as if they wanted to drain all their strength, and launched the attack with all their might!
Jane, who was the shortest at the front, frowned when he saw this.

"They have been emotionally affected and are now out of control."

"Then let's rush in and bring them back..."

"No, you just need to attack those monsters when they lose their ability to move!"

Jane took a deep breath and locked eyes with Caius.

“Pain…”

As the words fell, severe pain swept through Caius' body!
It was as if a flame was spreading through the blood vessels in his body, burning his internal organs! The extreme pain made him lose the ability to move in an instant. Seeing that the monster was about to surround him, the other members of the guards rushed forward.

The man with short red hair released lightning as thick as two fingers from his hands, which made a big hole in a huge beard, causing blood to flow continuously.

On the other side, a black man with curly hair expanded his arms and tried to tear apart the bloody mouth in front of him that was laughing and sticking out its tongue.

"Jane! You actually used your ability on me!"

When Caius regained consciousness, he immediately looked at the vampire who looked like a girl not far away.

However, he found that the latter had no time to apologize and kept dodging the tentacles' attacks in the narrow space.

The roaring and the sound of flesh tearing in his ears finally brought Caius' attention back to the current situation.

But in just this moment of distraction, a vampire was already entangled by the tentacles, lifted high up, and torn into pieces!

Caius looked up and saw only scattered limbs falling from above.

The head screamed in terror and watched itself fall into the tentacle's huge mouth.

Such a horrific and thrilling scene did not arouse Caius's fear.

Instead, he became furious and rushed forward, punching the tentacle to pieces.

In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and dark red bloodstains covered the black walls, but there was no trace of vampire tissue.

In just a few seconds, this thing digested everything it took in, leaving no residue at all.

This shocked and angered Caius, who had originally wanted to take back the remaining limbs and reassemble them.
"Lord Caius, retreat!"

"Shut up! They are just some lowly beasts. I can handle them by myself!"

Jane's advice was not accepted by Caius, and he roared like a lion.

However, on the front battlefield, the guards had already begun to lose ground.

The tentacles seemed endless. Now that they were shattered by Caius, the pieces of flesh that were stuck to the wall and slowly sliding down suddenly regenerated quickly, split into two, and surrounded them again!

This is a real war. The enemies are endless. Even if they have individual combat power superiority, they will be caught in flaws and submerged in the tide of tentacles.

Many members of the Royal Guard looked at each other and started to act at the same time, but this time their target was not the tentacles, but Caius.

The member who released the lightning earlier suddenly took action to paralyze Caius's movements. The latter's body was immediately lifted up by the big man behind him and thrown upwards!

The whole process took no more than one second. By the time Caius reacted, his body had already penetrated the upper concrete and emerged into the outside world!

……

"After I came out from underground, I was hunted by the cult members. They possessed special abilities, and my attacks were ineffective. I could only flee."

"But unfortunately, this building has been blocked by fog. I can't break through and can only go up..."

After listening to Caius's narration, Hariya made no secret of her contempt for this stupid man... no, stupid vampire.

He has lived for thousands of years but has not gained much wisdom. Not only did he lead his subordinates into the enemy's lair, but after discovering that something was wrong, he did not know how to retreat immediately.

If it weren't for the guards' loyalty and risking their lives to escort him, this guy would have died in the dark and damp sewer long ago.

"I feel really guilty for not doing my job well and need your help."

Caius also knew that any excuse would be pale and ugly, so he could only apologize in this way.

If vampires weren't always pale, this young and handsome face would have turned red as blood long ago.

"Why apologize to me? You should think about how to deal with your brother A Luo after you get out of here."

Su Fan's words made Caius's already embarrassed face show a hint of fear.

Jane and Alec are siblings, but they are the treasures that their brother Aro obtained at the risk of the vampires' disapproval, and they have made many great achievements during the years of fighting.

If he knew that his carelessness had destroyed the two most important fighting forces, he would be so furious that he would probably twist his head off!

"Please save me, Mr. Su!"

Caius's previously reserved kneeling on one knee had turned into prostrating himself, with his golden hair falling to the dusty and blood-stained ground.

Compared to life, all manners can be thrown out of the window.

"see your performance."

Su Fan raised his head and pointed forward.

"lead the way."

Caius was a little confused.

Theresa couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she kindly reminded the vampire whose mind was filled with thoughts of Tatakai.

"Suta asked you to take us back to where you fought the Order and other vampires before."

Caius subconsciously wanted to agree, but the horrific scene that happened at that time flashed through his mind, and he felt like there was something stuck in his throat and couldn't speak.

"What? Don't you dare?"

"No... no problem."

I finally escaped from the devil's cave, but before I could even catch my breath, I had to go back again. Fate plays tricks on me like this.

Follow Su Fan and hold on to his thighs, the former will keep him safe.

If he is lucky enough to rescue the members of the Royal Guard, his series of stupid commands in this operation can be treated as nothing happened.

On the contrary, after returning, his brother A Luo would either kill him or make him lose a layer of skin.

Su Fan was a little surprised to see that the other party had figured out the current situation in such a short time.

It seems that after experiencing a life-and-death crisis, the vampire's clever intelligence has begun to take over his brain.

How rare.

At this moment, bursts of strange laughter were heard from the corridor not far away.

The familiar movement immediately alerted Hariya and the vampire Caius.

The skeleton knights and skeleton soldiers immediately stood up, raised their shining weapons, and prepared to fight.

As several people watched, the blood-colored tentacles that had appeared earlier directly tore apart the door of the passage, and like a group of mad pythons, they twisted wildly and attacked them!

Such a scene is simply terrifying!
Previously, there was only one tentacle that held back two skeleton soldiers, but now there are more than a dozen tentacles that appeared.

They squeezed through the wall, sniffing the scent of the living, greedily sticking out their tongues from their big mouths, and their saliva corroded foul-smelling pits on the ground.

Just looking at these abnormal beings that humans cannot understand can affect the mind.

Hariya suddenly felt furious. At this moment, she even wanted to ignore the difference in combat power between the enemy and us and directly order the Skeleton Knight to go and tear the tentacles into pieces.

"These things again!"

Caius gritted his teeth.

"Master Sufan, please be careful. They seem to be able to affect the emotions of creatures with self-awareness, making them unable to think normally."

He took off his cloak and looked ready to take action.

"let me……"

"Don't waste time."

Pushing Caius aside and coming in front of the crowd, Su Fan stretched out his index finger and drew a line in the air.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still and all sounds disappeared.
