Eternal Night

Chapter 297 Disappearance
Instantly.

Daphne asked curiously, "Why did you stop so suddenly?"

Wu Xianxiao said nothing and even began to retreat, retreating at least ten thousand meters before he stopped.

All these actions were so strange in Daphne's eyes, because she quickly "forgot" that Wu Xianxiao was retreating. She looked a little dazed, and asked after a moment: "Why did you stop suddenly?"

Wu Xianxiao still said nothing, turned around and ran north.

Daphne became more and more confused, but she had been Wu Xianxiao's pendant for a long time. Although she was confused at this time, she did not continue to ask more questions. She just silently watched Wu Xianxiao run back the same way he came.

After a while, as the sky gradually brightened, Daphne asked again, "Are we not going to the Vatican?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head and said, "It's not that I won't go, but I may not be able to go to the Vatican... Do you really not remember what just happened?"

Daphne looked at Wu Xianxiao in confusion, and as she watched, her movements and expressions became a little awkward, and she looked a little like a mannequin. Before she could think about it further, Wu Xianxiao let out a low hum from his mouth. The sound was so pleasant to her ears that it shook Daphne's whole body. She swayed slightly, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Daphne's behavior was strange. She seemed to have forgotten her previous conversation with Wu Xianxiao and just asked, "We're not going to the Vatican?"

Wu Xianxiao said nothing. After a few seconds, he asked Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, do you remember what just happened?"

Chirp made a chirping sound.

Wu Xianxiao nodded slightly, and then he said to Daphne: "Speaking of forbidden codes, didn't the vampire say that each faction has a forbidden code? So does the blood clan have a forbidden code? Does the werewolf clan have a forbidden code?"

Daphne's attention was drawn. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know about the vampires, but the werewolves seem to have something similar to the forbidden code, called the Wolf's Origin Chapter, which is enshrined in the Werewolf Council Hall. To open it, you need the tokens of the three royal families of the werewolf clan, namely the tokens of the chiefs of the Golden Wolf Clan, the Silver Wolf Clan, and the Bronze Wolf Clan. That might be the forbidden code of the werewolf clan."

Wu Xianxiao said nothing, but walked a little faster. Then Daphne continued, "The token of the Silver Wolf Clan is a palm-sized silver page. It is covered with magic and I can't see what is written on it. It was previously in the hands of my parents, and they left it to me before they disappeared. But when the generals launched an armed coup, they snatched it away..."

At this time, there was smoke and fire in front of Wu Xianxiao, and it turned out to be a battlefield. From afar, he could see an army disintegrating, while the other side was not an army, but a huge skeleton mammoth that was galloping and charging.

Only a skeleton was left of the mammoth, with green light in the pupils of its eyes. All bullets and artillery shells would instantly vanish when hitting the skeleton. No technological long-range weapons could cause the slightest harm to it, and its huge body was invincible to ordinary mortals. Any fortifications and flesh and blood blocking its way would be trampled and collapsed by just running over it.

Thousands of soldiers were crushed by it, leaving their weapons and armor behind. Behind the mammoth were dozens of scattered skeleton soldiers. These skeleton soldiers surrounded a human figure wearing a tattered black robe. A large number of souls were extracted from the corpses and then rolled into the black-robed human figure.

"It's the Dark Council!" Daphne saw the black-robed figure from afar, and she said loudly to Wu Xianxiao.

Wu Xianxiao nodded slightly, turned around, and ran quickly towards the battlefield.

Under acceleration, Wu Xianxiao's speed has increased to more than 500 meters per second. In just a few rises and falls, he rushed across the plain and into the battlefield. At this time, the mammoth skeleton was still trampling and sprinting. Wu Xianxiao rushed from afar, with a series of impact ripples spreading behind him. With just one jump, he rushed to the mammoth's head, kicked it with one foot, and exploded the upper body of the mammoth in mid-air. Then his body fell to the ground, and he continued to rush towards the group of skeleton soldiers with another step.

Facing these skeleton soldiers wielding cold weapons such as scimitars and broadswords, Wu Xianxiao did not even attack them. He rushed past them directly. The spreading sound barrier ripples blew away and smashed the skeleton soldiers. Then he stood in front of the man in black robe before he could react.

The man in black robe laughed hoarsely, bent his legs and knelt down, shouting: "Mercy!"

This incident almost got Wu Xianxiao completely defeated.

Come to think of it, the villains from this world that I encountered in the entrance area of ​​Castlevania seemed to be the same. They knelt down very quickly and didn't look like villains at all.

Daphne was finally able to speak. She took a few deep breaths and said, "I know what you're thinking... That's right. Whether it's the dark creatures or the things in the Dark Church, they have been killed by the light side for a thousand years. It was only after the Renaissance that they barely had a little human rights. So the reason they kneel down quickly is because of them... No, it's because of us that we survived."

Wu Xianxiao nodded slightly, then waved his hand with a speed that was faster than the reaction of everyone present, and then Daphne fainted.

Wu Xianxiao hugged Daphne with one arm, then he looked at the man in black robe in front of him.

The man in black robe was a middle-aged bald man with black tattoos on his head and face. When he saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright, but he still knelt obediently. He even threw his staff several meters away and raised his hands high, not daring to make the slightest movement to arouse any suspicion.

"Please spare my life, sir! I know many treasures and I am willing to give them all to you!!"

The man in black robe was so frightened that he almost collapsed.

The situation in front of him seemed obvious. An unknown super-powerful extraordinary person passed by the battlefield, and then couldn't stand him killing ordinary people, and easily dealt with the trump card mammoth war elephant he stole from the Dark Council. Then he probably planned to kill him, but he was afraid that his daughter would see some bloody scenes, so he knocked his daughter unconscious. If he didn't show his value at this time, he would probably be slapped into a pulp by the other party. Unexpectedly, Wu Xianxiao didn't attack him, and didn't even ask what his treasure was. He just asked: "Are you an extraordinary person in the Dark Council?"

The man in black robes said without hesitation: "Yes! I am a necromancer from the Necromancer faction of the Dark Council!"

Wu Xianxiao nodded and said, "What is the current situation of the Dark Council?"

The man in black robe said, "The headquarters is gone. All those who have read the Dark Tome have been alienated. The entire headquarters and the surrounding area have been destroyed. They even used many forbidden spells, including the Scourge of the Undead, the Land of the Dead, and the Forbidden Land of Doom... I escaped before that. Please forgive me for the killing! It was these mortals who attacked me first. They shouted slogans such as killing monsters and killing extraordinary people, and they attacked me first!"

Wu Xianxiao did not comment and continued to ask: "Haven't you read the Dark Forbidden Codex?"

The black-robed man still did not hesitate at all, and just continued: "I have seen some, but not all. I just know that there was a previous era before the Age of Gods in our world, and I also learned about the end of the giants from the forbidden text. I guess I haven't seen enough, so I haven't been alienated."

Wu Xianxiao thought for a moment and said, "So, have you ever seen a sudden 'disappearance'?"

The pupils of the black-robed man suddenly shrank, and his voice and movements began to lag, but he still said, "My lord, I have seen it, but I don't know what it is. Suddenly, there was a gap in the ground behind me. Some of them looked like human footprints, some looked like human fist prints, or the image of a falling body. I don't understand what it is, I don't understand what it is, I don't understand what it is..."

At this time, the colors on the black-robed man's body began to gradually disappear. The color of his skin, the color of his flesh and blood, the color of his tattoos, and the color of his black robe all began to disappear. In less than five or six seconds, a pale thing that was not even white appeared in front of Wu Xianxiao. It still looked like a human, but its flesh and blood body began to show signs of fusion.

This thing roared and screamed, its body changed, and it pounced towards Wu Xianxiao.

Wu Xianxiao stretched out his hand and slapped it forward. A soft force slapped on the creature. The touch was very strange. It was obviously flesh and blood, but it felt like slapping the air. The creature was just trapped by the flesh force and paused for a second or two. Then it continued to melt against Wu Xianxiao's palm, as if it wanted to accommodate Wu Xianxiao's palm in this melted flesh and blood.

Its image has completely deviated from human form.

However, Wu Xianxiao still did not kill the thing immediately, but instead withdrew and retreated.

After retreating more than ten meters, the melting mass of flesh actually began to take shape again, transforming into the original appearance of the man in black robe, even his clothes and ornaments became the same. The tattoo on his skin also began to become complete, except that it had no color.

Seeing this, Wu Xianxiao rushed closer to the strange thing again. Sure enough, as Wu Xianxiao got closer, the thing pounced towards Wu Xianxiao, and then continued to melt and began to lose its human form.

"Boom."

Wu Xianxiao punched out and smashed it into pieces. This thing did not have the characteristics of immortality. After being completely blown apart, it was really dead, and its blood, flesh and internal organs flowed out. It looked like a real dead human body.

But this thing is definitely not a human body, it’s not even life!

Wu Xianxiao’s intuition was very clear about this!
Wu Xianxiao no longer hesitated, and ignored the troops that had stopped and fled. He just stepped forward and continued to rush north...

The young vampire was holding a big umbrella and sighing as he walked.

His servants, blood servants, and blood warriors were all given to him by his elders, and now they were all gone. He didn't even have a servant to hold an umbrella for him.

But then he changed his mind and thought that at least he survived, and he began to feel happy again.

But at this moment, he was suddenly lifted into the air. Before he could come to his senses, a few seconds later he suddenly realized that he was trapped by an arm.

"Take me to the blood clan's territory... the blood clan's core territory."

A voice that frightened him rang out, and when he turned around, he saw the murderer who said he was going to Rome holding his thin body with one arm.

then……

He experienced sonic flight in his physical body.

“Ahhhh… I can’t breathe, sir!!”
